Hulled Corn.

Old-fashioned people look upon hulled
corn as a luxury. 1t should be more
common than it is a a wholesome &C
ceptable food. Hulled corn is the North
ern equivalent of hominy or samp. In
one case the hull is removed by means of
ley and in the other by beating or other
mechanical means In the course Of
hulling the corn doubles in bulk. White,
finty corn is preferred. Take hardwood
ashes equal in measure, to the corn, pour
on twice as much water, in an iron ket-
tie, and boil for several minutes. Skim
off whatever rises and allow the dregs to
settle. This will take place sooner if q
little cold water be added. Pour off the
clear ley, wash the kettle, put in the corn
with the ley and boil briskly for half an
hour, adding water to make up the loss
by evaporation, and stirring frequently.
Pour off the ley and rinse the corn in
several waters. Place the corn with
water in a large pail and rub it through
the hands to remove any remaining hulls
and the black ''chits." Continue to wash
in successive waters, until that which il
poured off is clear. Then cover the corn
with water and boil slowly until quite
soft, stirring frequently and adding hot
water to make up any loss. When quite
soft, add a large tablespoonful of salt to
each six quarts of the hulled corn.
Hulled corn is eaten cold with milk or
with sugar and cream, or hot with but
ter. 1t will keep in cold weather for
several days.-Americam AgrscuNu,Ist.

From the Sublime to the Ridiculous,

He was a sublimely dignifed old gen.
tleman, and of eminently respectable
appearance. AS soon as he entered the
store the youngest salesman, who was
watching for a customer, made a dive for
him.
In less than three quarters of an hour
the youthful salesman had showed the
dignitied patriarch about q mile Of Brus-
sells, a thousand yards of Ingram and
four thousand feet Of Moquette, but still
he purchased not.
The store was in disorder, and so was
the .perspiring young salesman. At last
he despairingly calculated:
"Well what in thunder do you want,
STRIP
"Oh!" replied the eminently respect
able old gentleman-"well, you see, l
simply. called to see if you would pur-
chase a few packages of my Lightning
Moth Destroyer; warranted to kill more
moths in a minute than you can count in
an hour-has been used by all the
crowned heads of Europe, and only
costs"
The young salesman glared! There
was a short s%cufie, and a ridiculously
undigniied old gentleman, looking any
thing but respectable, was shot out Of
the door, with greater damage to his
garments in ten seconds than a legion Of
moths could infict in ten hours
