WHAT TO FRY WITH.
The Varions Frying Mixtures, from Olive
oil to Butter aud Lard.


There are several oily and fatty substances
used for frying, which we name in the order
of their cost Olive oil is almost exclusively
used in olive bearing countries as the cheap
est frying material. Here it il quite costly
and but little used, save by the wealthy or
the epicure who prizes it for the olive flavor
it communicates TO food cooked in il.
Others, again, dislike and reject it for the
same reason. Clarified butter comes next in
cost and is prepared as follows: Put tho
butter into nm enameled saucepan and melt
ii gently over clear fire when il begins to
simmer take it of the fire, skim well, let
stand in a warm corner till the buttermilk or
cheesy matter has settled, then pour ii off
steadily from the sediment, through fine
muslin, into stone glass jar, cover and
frying material and greatly superior to lard,
in that the slight favor il communicates is
quite pleasant and appetizing.
A third preparation, fayorite with many
Of the best European cooks and a genuine
mixture, is composed of equal measures of
owe OIL, DHtter, veal bUet ana leaf lara.
The butter is first melted and stirred into
the other three, already mixed and melted !;
then it is strained into n stone pot and kept
always in cool place, well covered. The
combined favor Of the four ingredients is
acceptable to almost NIL tastes.
Fresh butter comes next and Is much to
be preferred to lard, but it has one OBJ
jectionable quality. On account of the
buttermilk and salt it contains it scorches
and burns when subjected to a high or long
continued heat This renders it unfit for
the cooking of many delicate dishes This
tendency can, however, be much lessened
by rubbing the frying pan with small mus
lin bag filled with prepared beef suet.
Lard is the common, well-nigh universal
frying material in America, because it is
cheap and to be had in every nookand corner

POETRY.
BURIAL At SEA.

From his room to the deck they brought him
dressed
For his funeral rites, at his own request
With his boots and gloves and garments on
And nought but the breathing spirit gone,
For he wished that child might come and lax
An unstartled hand upon his clay.
Then they wrapped his corse intne tarry sheet,
To the dead as Araby's spices sweet,
And prepared him TO seek the depths below,
Where waves never beat, nor tempests blow.
No steeds with their noddlng plumes we're there
No Sabled hearse and no cofllned bier,
TO bear With pomp and parade away
The dead to sleep with his kindred clay;
But the little group, a silent few,
Ills comrades mixed with the hardy crew.
Stood thoughtful around till prayer was said,
Ger the corse OF the deaf, unconscious dead.
Then they bore his remains to the vessels side,
And committed them safe TO the dark blue tide
One sudden plunge, and the scene is Ger;
The sea rolled on as 1t rolled before.
In that classical sea whose azure vies
With the green of Its shores and the blue OF It.
skies,
In some pearly cave, in some coral cell,
Oh! the dead shall sleep as sweetly and wen
As II shrined IN the pomp OF Paran tombs
Where the East and the South breathe their rich
perfumes
Nor forgotten shall be the humblest one
Though he sleep In the watery waste alone,
When the trump or the angel sounds With
dread,
And the sea, with the earth, gives up its dead

THE GET OF TACT.

BRING before your minds eye the man of
tact. He may not be very learned, nor very
large minded, nor very generous, nor very
rich; and yet he is the most sought-after be-
ing of your acquaintance. He has friends by
the score. His home circle is happy one
and he has never been known to make an
enemy in his life, nor even to have q slight
quarrel with any one. He is welcomed on
all sides, and his praise is in everybody's
mouth, and he enjoys life to the full; the
reason being he is all the time diffusing hap
piness without knowing it. He can disen-
tangle difficulties and settle disputes, and he
general peacemaker, in charmingly uncon.
scious way; and there is smoothness and
brightness in his very presence.
And picture the woman of tact. She Is
more sweet and gracious than any one Won
can name. She is a general favorito, a Lead
err in her social coterie, q chief in the yario,ls
gatherings of the season. And the reason
Is easy to find She has tact. She never
sights an acquaintance, nor wounds friend,
nor says the slightest word, nor does the
least action to jar on the feelings Of the
most susceptible. And all this is from hav
ing the quickness to perceive the inner
minds of those in whose company she lie
thrown, and to avoid oil angles of word OF
bearing. Not only is such behavior no,
treading on your neighbors' corns, morally,
but not coming anywhere near the said ten
der parts
Valuable as the possession of this quality
is in man for business success and social
Advancement no more than for home life. il
is far more valuable to woman. A man
may be forgiven the laundering action or
ill-timed speech, but the woman never. In
him it is outspokenness, or at the worst
bluntness; in her hardness or gauche1ie; and
SO kind mother Nature has bestowed the
gift far more generously on the weaker half
of humanity than on the stronger
If you observe the woman of tact as she
plays the part of hostess, you will be struck
by the propriety and charm of her manner
She is great without being aware of it. Her
presence is bond of union among what.
without it, might prove incongruous ele-
ments. She puts every one at ease, causes
antagonistic persons TO suddenly discover
some oneness in thought or action, places
her receptions, for success, at the head of
others of greater magnitude and costliness;

ABATTOIRS.

Complaints are often heard in American
cities of the nusances arising from the
slaughter of animals for food. The build
ings in which the work is done are usually
unfit for the purpose, and instead of being
concentrated, they are scattered in several
localities.
Paris, which is in SO many respects a
model city. again sets us an example. The
abattoirs there ere managed by a guild OF
butchers, and are supervised by the police.
They cost "a 200, 900, or 20, 000, 900 francs
The largest covers nine acres of ground and
includes thirty separate buildings. The
pavements are all of stone and slope into
cutters, large quantities of water being used
daily to keep them clean. There are four
others, and all Of them are fitted with every
appliance for cleanliness, etc.
Until few years ago, the slaughter-houses
of New York were of the most defective
kind, but of late q change for the better has
taken place. Large abattoirs are now con-
neeted with tho termni of the principal rail
ways which bring cattle from the West. and
at that which receives the stock of the Penn
sylyania and Erie Road two thousand head
of cattle and five thousand sheep can be
killed day.
There are n large number of partitions
ranged evenly through the building, and
over each we observe large wooden wheel
worked by a handle. Each partition has
stall in which the beasts are kept, and they
are led out into the SHAMELESS one by one.
So expedtiously is the work done, that IN
ten minutes the animal is killed, the hide
and offal are removed and the beef is hung
up, awaiting its removal to the market.
One great advantage of having the bust.
ness concentrated i'll large establishments,
instead of distributed among small ones, ia
that there are greater opportunities fer theis
inspection by sanitary officers, and in them
the work is done in merciful way.

ATTACKED BY SEVEN DOGS.
Wheeling Drmmmer's Desperate Fighs
for Life In West Virginia.


W. b. Dillon, traveller for Vance, Hughes
d Co., of this city, met with horrible and
probably fatal encounter with seven fierce.
savage dogs in Wetzel county last Monday.
The gentleman, in company with New
York drummer, was returning from Union
town to Littleton, and when about four miles
from the latter place Mr.. Dillon suggested
the cutting of a switch for lazy horse they
were driving. About 100 yards from the
road he fnnnd n hnnoh of Willows down iss
the hollow close to Fish Creek stream, and
when in the act of cutting limb he was
seized by largo powerful black mastiff,
owned by Mr. Mcdonald. The attack was
so sudden the gentleman almost lost his
presence of mind, but with the use of the
open knife in his hand succeeded in cutting
the dog several times. He had no sooner
released himself when he discovered rein
forcement of six more brute ours, who were
attracted by the savage growing of their
companion.
The attack then became general and des-
perately fierce. Ono large, short-eared,
short-tailed yellow dog, beautiful speci-
men of the German breed, seized Mr. Dillon
six inches below the small of the back and
tore fully pound of flesh from the unfor-
tunate MN. Another bit him shockingly in
the calf of the leg, and the gentleman be-
coming so exhausted fell to the ground and
was completely at the mercy of the seven
half-starved savage beasts. One large, fat
dog bit of the gentleman's left ear and part
of his nose His cries for assistance were of
last heard by his friend in the buggy, who
at once came to his relief and succeeded in
beating off the maddened brutes He then
carried the mangled and bleeding victim to
the buggy and at once procured medical at.

AN EPISODE.

With never word she passed me by,
With never a look or sign;
She silently went her way, and
AS silently went on mine.
No one could have dreamed who saw heI face,
AS we so coldly met,
That her heart was touched by the faintest trac'
or memory Or regre..
Nor do think that one apart
Who watched my tranquil brow,
Would have guessed that the memory stirred my
heart
OF a faithlesS broken vow.
And they needn't have guessed or wondered, yns

idn't know her, and she didn't know me,
And so-shc passed me by.

THE CORN AND WHEAT RE
PORT.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 10th. !
An investigation Of the cousump-
ton and distribution OF corn and
wheat up 70 March lat, by tie De
par,ment Of Agriculture, makes the
stock of corn on hand at that date
about $50, 900 600 bushels, or 36 per
cent. of last years crop. OF this
$50, Or, 600 are in the States Of the
central basin north of Tennessee,
and 166, 900 900 bushels in the South
, ern States. Most Of the remainder
is in the Middle States. On com
larson with the average stock OF
the past Ave years at the same date,
there is scarcely any increase in the
Western or Middle States.
In the South the per cca,age of
tie crop remaining is 43, instead OF
80. Taking XII the States together
the increased stock is about two per
cent. Seven surplus corn States,
from Ohio West TO Nebraska and
Kansas, inclusive, had SO per cen, OF
the crop on hand, against q per
GER, las. March, and 80 per cen:. OF
the crop of 1880 on he LIST of March
1881. When estimated :he stocks
were Alb, 900 900 bushels. At pres
ent the total is aboue 320, 900 900
bushels, against 2OO, 900 1000 las,
March. In Illinois and Iowa the
} proportion on hand is less than the
average Of the previous five years.
In Missouri and Kansas it is greater.
The distribution of the quantity
already consumed illustrates the
= rural economy OF the different sec.
e tons. In all the South about one
fifth is used for the food Of men,
over one-half for feed Of work ami
!, malls, the remainder for feeding
II swine and cattle. In the West one
half is used for feeding for meat pro-
IS duction six per cent. for>lood OF
man, one-if,h for feeding work ami.
" mails, and the proportion, noa much
@ larger, is shipped to distant markets
a The proportion OF the wheat or
hand March 1st is % per cent. Of The
crop or about 140, 000, 600 bushels
The proportion Of the last FIVE years
at that date is nearly the same. II
the States Of the central basiu tn
. total reported is 140, 600, 900 bushels
T. in the Southern States it is 20 pc
cent. instead OF %, the average o
