The American Leveller.

New York Letter.
Speaking Of alcoholic conviviality, I
met a man of national distinction-one
whose name, if / gave it, would compel
the reader to employ all his faith In my
veracity if he desired TO believe me-in
upper Broadway, at 4 O'Clock, q. m,
staggeringly drunk. His dress was dis
ordered, and his step'so uncertain that
l thought he would fall; but when
caught him by the arm, to steady him,
he drew himself away with so much en-
ergetic dignity as to nearly throw him
into the gutter, pulled his dat down
over his face, with desire to avoid rec
ognition that proved his retention of a
little presence of mind, and made his
way into a bathing establishment in
Twenty-third street. What he wanted
was a Turkish bath, to sober and re-
fresh him into daylight responsibility
of aspect. This practice has become
so common that several of the bath
houses in fashionable parts of the city
are kept open all night. Half an hour
of roasting, followed by a shower of
cold water and hard rubbing, turns
the dazed aud rumpled roysterer of q
night into presentability for the day.
"Whisky," said considerable of a
politician, the other night, as he held
up glass of it in the Fifth avenue ho-
tel bar-room, sis the typical American
beverage. 1t is a kind of leveiler that
is characteristic of our glorious coun-
try. Take a view of this bar, and tell
me if [ am not right. At one end is q
United States senator, with whisky in
his tumbler, and here back of us stands
a hack-drlver, whose glNas has been
filed from the same bot. Is there
anywhere else than a bar, OF anything
else than whisky that puts all men more
on level?"
I am afraid that he told the truth. In
that same bar-room was the son of q
millionaire, a young fellow whose brain
was naturally good enough to enable
him, if he had so chosen, to take full
advantage of his circumstances of
wealth; but whisky had brought him
down to equality, SO far. as worth was
concerned, with the gambler with
whom he was drinking. Yes; whisky
is the great American Ieveller

EXPERIENCE.

I hear the sigh Of seeds that yearn
To deck with pomp their burial-urn,
IToetatie rhspsodies that run e1
Along the bark that feels the sun,
The laugh with which the buds unfold,
The passion in the pollen's gold;
I hear the faint, delicious beat
In hearts of roses, converse sweet
In airs that toy, attwilight's hour, ,,a,
With apple-bloom and orange.fower,
The am 'rous whispers Of the grass
As sky-larks brood and fire-files pass,
The dews desire, and griefs that make
The thunder's tlery heart strings break.
To me are told the dreams that lie
Deep III the llly's languid eye, ~
Legends that ferns and corals store
In books Of rock and Ocean 8 floor, -
The prayers that out Of pastures cry
When scorched beneath brazen sky,
Strange syllsbles that from the ground
Speak like the naked soul of sound,
And all the birds in love relate
OF happy flight and tender mate,
And what the tribes Of insects tell.
OF their incessant miracle,
Sea-song, and Joy of human speech,
And awful lore the star-depths teach;
And touching thus the inner mind,
go enraptured, awed, resigned.

What Last Season Taught.

Correspondence Farm and Garden.
That tommato plants in the aane hill
with squashes, cucumbers and pump
kins Will not keep off the bugs. That
an application of air-slacked lime will
not keep bugs away from vines, cab
bage plants, radishes, turnips or egg
plants. That saltpetre water will not
accomplish anything in that line. That
coal oil for that purpose is also fail
ure. That good application, repeated
three times, of reasonably strong liquid
manure does well, and that an applica-
ton of fine sulphur sprinkled over the
plants and vines will greatly help in
getting rid of these pests. That reas-
enable application of wood ashes is
very beneficial in garden. But that it
is comparatively an easy mat
ter to make the application too
strong, especially if the ashes are
unleached. That it is useless to plant
sweet corn before the ground gets warm
as well as the weather, as corn planted
three weeks later will come to maturity
just as quick with the same soil and
cultivation. That there is very de-
cided advantage in good, sonnd. quick
terminating seed corn, and this will be
evident from the time the corn begins
to sprout until it natures. That peas
will not do as well On new, rich ground
as ON old. That l can raise more and
better Lima beans by planting in row,
the plants six inches, than in hills with
three or four bears in q hill. That it
pays to soak sorghum seed twenty-four
hours in water before planting. That
tomato vines will grow faster and bios
som quicker if little manure is worked
into the hills than if set out without.

FARM AND HOME.


Cor. Ohio Farmer. -
In the spring of 1882, after washing
our sheep, surprising that no evil would
result from it, we let the ram run with
Ourlbreeding ewes thenFsucking lambs
dropped from March Is to April 15)
until shearing. Ir the fall, about No
vember 1, fifteen or eighteen of these
same ewes dropped lambs, the result of
letting the ram run with them from
washing to shearing time. When we
began feeding for the winter we fixed 8
place in one of the stables 80 the lambs
could enter and the ewes could not, and
sprinkled some bran and salt in the
trough. Very soon the lambs learned
to go there, and in a short time they
would run for their pen to got their RAJ
tons as greedy as o litter Of pigs for a
mess of milk. We fed them liberally
through the winter and they came out
in the spring in fine condition. En-
couraged by their nice appearance we
turned our ram with the ewes again on
the 9th OF May, and will try our luck
again with fall lambs. At washing
time this spring we washed the lambs,
thinking we would shear one or two,
and if thought profitable would shear
the whole lot. The first one clipped q
fleece that weighed exactly five pounds.
Encouraged by this, we sheared the
other twelve, and from the lot got
fifty-four pounds of wool, which we
sold along with other wool at the same
price. Some of the advantages, we
think, from raising fall lambs would
be the great demand as early
lambs for the butcher. The
lambs, learning to eat so soon,
do not rely on milk SO much for
their support, thus relieving the dams
from such drain on their system, and
coming through the winter in good con-
dition, 60 on grass without checking
their growth, as is very often the case
with BRING lamos when weaned and
turned on dry feed, as must necessarily
be done in that season If the year; be-
sides the wool will more than pay for
what they consume through the winter,
as am satisfied was true in my case.
The ewes came through the winter in
fine condition, and when weaned the
lambs they were in much better condi-
ton than 1 ever had ewes when lanbs
were weaned IN the fall, and sheared
an average of Z 1925 pounds per fleece.
A lot of thirty-two yearlings, wintered
with the ewes, clipped an average of
9 3-16 pounds per head, all nicely wash
ed wool, and all sold at market prices.
I would say to those who are prepared
to properly care for fall lambs to give it
a trial. My sheep are high grade
Merinos.

How to Keep Cabbages.

Eimira Husbsndn.n.
The fussy methods so often employed
with potatoes after they are dug remind
me that similar practices prevail with
eabbages. There are persons who in
sist that their cabbages must be invert-
ed, the roots upward, that they will not
keep any other way. Others cut the
heads from the stumps and pack them
with great deal of care. The most
simple way, when one has cellar with
a moist bottom, is to pull the cabbages
as late in the autumn as may be safe,
then take themright to the cellar, stand
them on the roots, on moist earth, the
heads leaning against the wall. In this
way cabbages that have not fully formed
heads will sometimes develop into good
size, and the heads will be more crisp,
whittier and sweeter than by any other
method of preservation, OF course, in
pulling them earth will be left adhering
to the roots, and this should be carried
in as attached. A little more loose
earth, if convenient, can be thrown
around the roots where they stand.
With dry cellar bottom this plan is
not practicable, but it will work admir-
ably wherever the bottom is moist, not
wet-just moist. .

Kiss the Children Goodnight.

| Send the little ones to bed in happy
frame of mind. 1t requires some disci-
pline and self-denial on the part of a
| weary parent to answer all the foolish
questions and attend to the many wants
that multiply 80 fast as the hour of bed
time draws near, but it is labor OF
/ love that will bring large recon-
pense. Children never forget. T. ey
will carry with them through life's long
and weary pilgrimage the remembrance
of the face that bent over them at night,
and that was ever associated in their
immature minds with heaven and God.
And the little tiresome last questions
mean so much to them. What if we
should never answer them and they
never awakened herep Unanswered
questions and unanswered problems
have followed men and women through
life with narrowing persistence. And
never give a thoughtless answer to a
child's question.
No one can so gently and kindly pre-
pare the little ones for the perplexities
and disappointments of life, which are
inevitable, as the fathers and mothers,
to whom their education should be their
great consideration. The moral lesson
taught by the mothers knee or by the
bedside can never be forgotten, nor can
the ia Their shirk all responsibility in the
matter of home tutelage. That is a
child to be pitied who is afraid TO ask
its father any question which arises to
its young mind; who dare not climb to
the parental knee and challenge the
world to dislodge it. DIR. Holland, in
his first poem of 'Daniel Gray" which
is said to typify his own father, says:
''He had some notions that did not improve
him,
He never kissed his children, SO they say
We feel sorry for the children of
father so austere, but we can afford to
pity one who lost so much beauty and
value out of his own life. Then kiss
the children goodnight and good-morn-
ing and answer all their questions, and
you will find in such work two are
blessed-one giving, the other receiv-
ing. e. ..-...r

The Household.

If teaspoonful of turpentine is put
| into the washboiler and boiled with the
clothes it will whlten them perceptibly.
Steel knives which are not in daily
use may be kept from rusting if they
are dipped in strong solution of soda
one part of water to four of soda;
then wipe dry, roll in flannel and keep
in a dry place.
An entree specially designed to
accompany roast pork is made in this
way: Peel as many potatoes as will
cover the bottom of a deep piedish.
Sprinkle half teaspoonful of dried
sage over them. Cut a small onion in
thin slices, and spread them over this.
Add salt and paper, and little Jumps
of butter, according to your taste
Cover the bottom of the dish with wa
ter, and take in moderate oven.
4 delicious chicken soup is made by
cutting up one chicken and putting it
into your kettle with nearly two quarts
of water, y teaspoonful of salt and lit
tie pepper. When about half done add
two tablespoonfuls of barley or of rice.
When this is done remove the chicken
from the soup, tear or cut part of the
breast into small pieces and add to the
soup with cup of cream. The rest of
the chicken may be reserved for salad
or for chicken croquettes.
The best ginger cookies that ever
tasted had in place of the usual cupful
of water cupful of sweet milk. This
gives lghtness to the cakes that water
cannot give. The formula for these is:
Two cupfuls of New Orleans molasses,
one cupful of lard, one teaspoonful each
of ginger and of soda, and half a tea
spoonful Of salt. The lard, instead of
being melted, should be rubbed with
the flour the same as for pie-crust.
Popcorn, with all its associations of
a good time and innocent enjoyment, is
once more in season, and children or
young people who like to experiment
with it can try the following recipe for
crystalizing it: Put into an iron kettle
one tablespoonful of butter, three table,
spoonfuls Of water and one cnpful of
white sugar; boil until ready to candy,
then throw in three quarts of nicely
popped corn; stir vigorously until the
sugar is evenly distributed over the
corn; take the kettle from the fire and
stir until it cools a little, and in this
way you may have each kernel separate
and all coated with the sugar. Of
course, it must have your undivided at
tention from the first to prevent scorch-
ing. Almonds, English walnuts, or, in
fact, any nuts, are delicious prepared in
this way.

Parent and Child.
Rev. WEI. Krkus. in N. o. IImes-Democra,


Children are human beings. We
cannot dismiss them from our homes
and our hearts as cats can scratch away
their grown-up kittens, or birds turn
their fiedglings out of the nest. We
must retain our superiority. We must,
indeed, supersede law by advice, disci-
pline by good example and high per-
sonal honor. But we can never become
strangers to our children. The time
never comes when we can say: have
given you good education, have sup
piled you with money, 1 have set YOU
up in business. and now 1 have done
with you. We must retain our high
position, SO that the first thought of our
child shall pe-in joy or grief, success
or failure, virtue or sin al viii arise
and 60 to my father.''

Time IS Money.
Providence journal.

-
There lives in Pawtucket a man
whose whole existence seems to be con-
Quoted similar to a piece of machinery.
His movements and transactions are al
ways ''on time;" in fact, his great hob
by is time. ''Be on time and save time"
is his motto. At the same hour every
morning he gets out of bed. A few
seconds later his right boot is on, and
then his left; breakfast is finished in "a
separate time, and he Is at his place of
business just at the stroke of Z. He is
constantly enlarging on the immense
quantity Of time that is wasted and
thrown away by every man and woman
every hour. He illustrated his hobby
the other day in rather amusing and
indisputable manner. A friend pre-
sented him with very fine looking cat.
Calling the next day, he found the cat
without any tail, the tail being cut off
as close to the body as could be without
cutting the tail off behind the cats
ears. When asked why he had done
this, he remarked: 81 have to let this
cat in and out of this store a good many
times day. Now, if that cat had
long tail, dontyou see, would have to
lose so much time waiting for the tail to
go out and in, whereas now have only
to wait for the cat. A tail Is of no earth
lys use to a cat, end especially to this
cat, 80 you will see have the cat just
the same, and only lost the time in lei
ting the cat in and orr, thus saving all
that time that would be lost in letting
the tail in and out"

Farmers Magazine.
Nature covers the roots of the trees
in winter with the leaves that fall to the
ground in autumn, and when they have
performed such service, as mulch,
they decay and assist in affording nour-
ishment to the trees. We should learn
a lesson therefrom and collect leaves
around our trees and cover them with
brush or cornstalks. Our word for it,
such an experiment once tried will be
repeated.

Origin of Trichjno.

DIR. j. E. Morris, says in regard to
trichins in swine, that it is well-es-
tablished fact that the real source of
infection in swine lies entirely in the
rat. A committee of Vienna physicians
found in Moravia 81 per cent of rats
examined trichinous; in Vienna and its
environs 10 per cent, and in Lower Aus
tria about 4 per cent. The well-known
voracity of the hog and its special fond
ness for meat cause it to feed upon the
flesh and excrements or other animals
infested with these parasites, and es-
pecially rats and mice. To prevent
trichinous swine it is highly important
to cut off all the sources of disease in
the diet of these animals.
