The result OF the progressing decline in
the price Of pig iron will, it is said, be the
freezing-out of the small manufacturers,
and the concentration Of the entire BUSH
ness in the hands Of the great and strong
corporations and capitalists. The decline
is attributed to oyer-prOductiOn caused by
the stimulation of protective tariff. 1t
may be added that the general result of
the protective policy appears in all lines
Of trade, TO the concentration, ultimately,
in the hands Of a few strong men.

MUsH.-Mush made in this way
is excellent-Boil a quart of water.
Stir a pint of cold milk with one
pint of cornmeal and one tables
pooiul of salt. Pour tins into the
boiling water gradually, and let it
all boil for half an hour. Watch
it carefully to prevent burning.
Corn BREAD.-Mix together
thoroughly by putting through a
sieve or other wire, one pound OF
Indian meal and one pound and a
halt of wheat -four, two ounces OF
baking powder and tablespoonful
of salt; then beat together three
ounces of sugar, three ounces OF
butter and four eggs; add this to
the -four and make a stiff batter,
using warm milk in winter and cold
in summer bake in small tints.
PEPPER PoT.-Boil six pounds
OF tr:pe for one hour, then take Ii
from the water In which 1t has
boiled and put it in fresh water
with a knuckle of veal. Let these
boil for two hours, then put in
some potatoes, onions, carrots, a
little parsley, some celery salt or
stalks Of celery, and any other
herb or vegetable your taste de-
mands; plenty OF salt is essential,
and considerable black pepper.
When the tripe is tender cut it in
small bits, and put it back in the
kettle. After removing the vege-
tables make nice gravy.
APPLE BUTTER.-Nice apple but
ter is excellent with cold meat.
Use tart apples, and 10 three pecks
after they are peeled and quartered,
allow nine pounds of brown sugar
and two gallons OF water. Let the
water come to a boil, then add the
sugar when it is dissolved put ID
the apples. Stir them constantly
with a large wooden spoon. After
they are soft let them simmer until
they are thick and do not seem al
all watery. IfyOu wish to add any
spices you may do so. Cinnamon
nutmeg and little ginger are hkeo
by some people.

GREEN MANURING.-Land ought not
to lie idle except to recuperate, just
as animals ard humans that are tired
rest But in resting men often take
light exercise. SO many our farm
ing lands be made to do. For in
stance, one has field from which he
has just removed a crop of wheat,
and be wants to follow it with corn
next spring. There is no need to let
the field rest absolutely because it cIn
be used to advantage. 1t will be much
better to pillow it up and sow buck
wheat or rye on il, and late 10 the
fall, or as soon as the new growth is
foot or more high plow it under
deep and harrow. Then, when spring
GENES, the ground is ready for fresh
narrowing, without replowing, and
the corn may be planted as soon as
the weather is ft. The green ma.
nuring will be found TO have been Of
much vale.

For Love of q Little Child.

In factory in Cincinnati there is a
wrkmlu who had on small invalid
child at home. He wrought at his
trade with exemplary fidelity, beiog
always H. the shop with the op min
of the day. lie managed, bowev r,
to bear 'ach evening to the bedside 81
bis we la }, as he called bin, a
flower, bit OF ribbon or a fragment
of crimson glass-indeed ansthipg
that would lie out on the white coun-
terpane and give a color to the
room. He was a quiet, unsenllmen-
tai man. but never went home at
night without something that would
make the wan face light up with joy
at his return. He never said to a
living soul that he loved that boy so
much. Still he went on patiently
loving him. Aud by and bye he
moved that whole shop into positive
ly real, but unconscious, fellowship
with him. he workmen made Curl
Gus little jars aud cups upon wheels,
and painted diminutive pictures down
their sides before they stuck them in
the corners of the kiln at burning
time. One brought some fruit In the
bulge Of his apron, and another en-
cravings In a rude scrap>book. Not
one Of them whispered a word, for
this solemn thing was not TO be talked
about. They put them in the old
mans hat, where he found them, so
he undcl stood all about it; aud, be-
lleve it or not, cynics, as you will, but
il is a fact that he entire pottery full
of men, OF rather coarse fiber by Da-
tore, grew quiet as the months drift
ted, becoming gentle and kind, and
some dropped swearing as the weary
look on the patient fellOw-worker S
face told them beyond mistake that
the inevitable shadow was drawing
nearer. Every day now, some did a
piece Of work for him aud put it on
the sanded plank to dry so that he
could come later aud go earlier. So,
when the bell tolled, and the little
coffin came out of the lOwlY door,
around the corner, out of sight. there
stood 100 stalwart wOlkingmen from
the pottery with their clean clothes
on, most of whom gave half days
time for the privilege Of taking part
in the simple procession, and follow
ing to its grave that small burden of
a child which probably not one had
ever seen.

The Use Of whitehead paint has long
been known to involve injurious effects.
The only substitute for this material
until recently, has been zinc oxide.
Among the recent inventions in England
is an article for which Is claimed free.
dom from all the objections which have
heen urged against oxide Of zinc paint.
The natural sulphide of zino-blend-is
commonly rather translu cent, anu vari-
GUS in color, from dingy white to a
stone color, shading off to reddish
brown, sometimes appearing Opaque,
with yellow, green or black tinges. The
excellence of the chemically pure white
sulphide, however. induced heightened
series of experiments to accomplish ar
tiiclally the chemical process of making
zlno sulphide of the purest white, and
with the most satisfactory results. In
vestigations Of this Zinc sulphide, or
rather oxy-sulphide, show that it has a
highly preservative action in preserving
wood, etc., from decay, and it unites
with the ibres with whlch 1t comes in
contact, forming permanent bodies with
them. The peculiarly small affinity
which zinc has for combining with car
bonio acid prevents to great extent
the formation of carbonates, and also
arrests the saponifcation of the oil long
before any such reaction with carbonate
OF lead can take place.
