Things Worth Knowing.

STUgF1NG for . baked fish should he
made of fine bread crumbs, highly sea,
soned with pepper, salt, and sage. One
or two raw eggs beaten in with it also
gives favor to it. A little butter is
needed it the fish is not too oily.
A DELICATE pudding sauce is made OF
one egg beaten with one cup of sugar.
This may be done some time before din.

pour over the sugar and egg half cup.
full of boiling water; flavor with lemon
or rose.
SP1cED beef, which is delicious cold
and sliced thin, is easily prepared.
Choose piece with less fat than you
would wish to have in roast; boil this
until tender in water in which you have
put ealt, pepper, celery seed, and
cloves; the amount to depend on your
taste.
LETTUCE boiled makes good side
dish. Cook and serve rs you do spin
ach. A small piece of bacon boiled
with it is a good seasoning. When the
lettuce has grown little rank and is
not quite crisp enough to serve as salad,
it may be prepared in this way, and
make an agreeable and wholesome dish.
OATMEAL pancakes are good for
breakfast, and may occasionally take
the place of tho oatmeal and milk SO uni
versally served at that meal. Make
them with sour milk, with soda to
sweeten it. The batter should be stiff.
The oatmeal, unless it is ground very
fine, should be soaked in water all
night.
The paper bags which are sometimes
sent out from the tea store with a pound
of tea furnish good designs for the orna-
menter of a crazy quilt. The pictures
are exactly ADAPTED for this work, and
are go varied in size and subject as to
give good opportunity for choice. The
outlines alone may be worked or the
whole figure applied.
MUFF1Ns made principally of boiled
hominy are excellent for breakfast. To
two cups of cold boiled hominy allow
one cup of -four, a heaping teaspooBful
of salt, two eggs, a third of cup of but
ter, heaping tablespoonful Of sugar,
and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder;
mix this with the -four, beat all to-
gether, and bake in q quick oven in
muffin tins. These are very nice with
coffee.
To vary rice pudding, try this way
OF baking it: Put enough cold boiled
rice in pudding dish to fill it half full;
put in milk and the yo]ks ofeggs to form
custard; set it in the oven, and when
it is done put over the top the whites of
theeggs, beaten to stiff froth, with
sugar to make it almost like frostipg.
Add the juice and grated peel of one
lemon; spread this over the pudding
and let it brown in the oven.

Turkey BFeeding.


experienced cultivators of this kind Of
fowl, that young hen turkeys are not so
good as are their elders for reproduc-
ton. They will not lay very large
number Of eggs in season. but what
they do yield when set will produce
larger poults at Matching, and their eggs
are also more certain to be fertile.
The turkey hen will often steal her
nest by herself in fence corner, or he
meath an old pileof rails, but the greater
danger is she will wander off TOO far
from the house andher eggs become the
prey of skunks, crows and other mis-
chief-doers that either prowl about in
darkness or lie in an ambush awaiting
plumber.
The best place for turkeys nest is
on the bare ground, taking care to raise
it above the danger of flooding during
rain and to shelter it above, locating It
in some quite place. The turkey loves
privacy in these matters rather more
than the common hen, and she is an OK
cellent and very patient sitter. Indeed,
she sticks to her business so we'll that it
is often recommended to hatch more
than one brood by one turkey hen, re-
moving the frs brood as soon as out.
While the sitting is going on you will
need to pay particular attention to see
that the sitters are off their nest as soon
as proper. Turkeys stay on their nests
very faithfully. The process lasts q
month, but If the eggs are fresh they will
hatch q day or two earlier. It is not
necessary, however, to be very careful
about watching them. The egg yolk
comes in part with them into the world
aud serves as nourishment for somewhat
more than day after Matching. When
you come to feed them, it would seem
important to initiate this food as nearly
as possible; and with this idea eggs in
some form boiled hard or made into q
custard with milk, SKINNED and clabber-
ed milk, cottage cheese and curds
should form their principal food in the
beginning. Bread crumbs soaked IN
milk, fine barley meal or oat meal and
hard boiled eggs, chopped fine with
curd and onions, is an excellent diet for
them until they can partake Of coarser
food. &, s5,

"rAFFY" FOR AN EAsroN CLERK.

Frou iks Easion Star.
On New Years night an Eas,on clerk
went to "taffy- pulling" near Trappe,
and being the only guest from this town
he determined to make agood impression
on the lady participants, so he donncd
his best suit of black and looked his
handsomest. Upon arriving at the house
he made himself as agreeable rs he could
and for time was the cynosure of all
eyes, but conversation Jagged and the
minutes were slowly passing away; our
hero bethought of amusing himself, and,
being Of an inquisitive turn of mind,
commenced a stroll through the house.
While he was wandering here and there,
examining paintings, antique pieces of
furniture, &C., the hostess with several
girl companions went into the kitchen
and took the hot taffy of the stove and
poured it into large fiat tin vessel,
which they placed on chair for safety,
and then left the room. After a while
our young man strolled into the kitchen,
and feeling tired sat down, without
looking, on the nearest chair, which, by
the way, was the one upon which the
hot taffy was placed. A sudden shot
upward followed, and shrek succeeded
shrek "Whoopl Ouch o, Moses !
Take it off Thunder |" and other
such choice expressions were made use
Of. The guests hurried from the room
and at once saw his plight Some one
asked, "Is il hot 2" and the suffering
fellow yelled back the answer, "Is !,

BEE THIEVES.

Butcher, in his physical lives Of
beasts, speaks OF thievish bees. (which,
in order to lessen their labor or dispense
with il wholly, made attacks in mass on
provisioned hives, committed violence
against the sentinels and the inhabitants,
pillaged the hive, and carried away all
the store of honey. II this exploit was
successful for several times, they, like
men, acquired a stronger taste for pillage
and violence than for work, and ended
by constituting real colonies Of brig
ands." There are isolated individuals
which are addicted to theft and endeav-
or to slip, without being perceived, in
TO a strange hive their sly tricks demon
s,rate that they are forced to conceal
ment, and are conscious that they are
,ransgressors. II they succeed in their
attempt, they afterwards bring other
bees TO their hives to tempt them to
similar thefts, and thus form a society
Of thieves. Butcher adds that bees
may be artifcially made thieves by feed
ing them a special food consisting Of
honey mixed with brandy. "Likeman,
they readily acquire taste for this
beverage, which exercises the same per-
nicious influence upon them as upon
him they become excited, intoxicated,
and cease TO work. Do they feel hungry
Then, like man, they fall from one vice
into another, and give themselves up
unscrupulously to pillage and theft"
