leaving the Country for City Lif c.
From the Rural New Yorker
1t is pitiful sight to see the youth of
our land leaving the green fields and
quiet homes, leaving health and hap
piness, father and mother, and rushing
into the dust and din of our crowded
cities, there to breathe the COMMUNICATING
atmosphe re and expose themselves to
the Thousand snares ofcity life. Many a
young man in the bloom of manhood,
full of of health and promise, becomes
tired of the dull routine of farm life, and
bidding goodbye to father and mother,
launches out into the great city. Often
it is the old tale of shipwreck; few
months of struggle against the stream
dissipation; pale face and emaclated
form stretched upon death-bed, n
gray haired father and tender mother
taking a last farewell Of their hayward
son. and life's drama is ended forever.
recall Quiet cottage upon green
hillside, overlooking one of the most
picturesque valleys in the state OF New
York; beautiful river, broad meadows
and green hillsidea, the little red schools

sunset that gilded the church spires OF
the distant village, the winter Preside
and the white haired, good old grandfa-

stories. / recall kind and loving moth

passed-years of toll and affiiction amid
the din and smoke of the city. The
white haired grandfather has gone and
the kind hearted father walks slowly
along with a cane; childhoo'ds happy
golden hours are gone forever.
Young man, stick to the farm! Look
at the thin features, pale faces and
dwarfed forms in the shops and behind
the desks in our crowded cities, and
then gaze at the rugged, robust farmer,

Roam Bulls.

The Breeders Gazette says that in
view of the prejudice which has existed
IN favor of red Short-horns, it is worth
recording that the Illinois Industrial
university, the Ohio state and the Wis
consin state universities Short horn
herds are now headed by roam bulls.
The same is true of many fine herds be-
longing to private individuals. The bull
which many judges have pronounced
''the best bull in America" is roau. Is
it not time to proclaim emanclpatl on
from the foolish prejudice which has
kept many excellent animals from SER
vice? American Jersey breeders de-
serve credit for making the butter pro-
duction stand rd popular, instead of
the absurd one that rested so largely on
color. English short-horn breeders
have never bowed down before the red
fetch. Need Americans do so?-Rura-

A Twelve Pound Nugget.

There are two things, at least, that
rough men ordinarily respect, and
those are a woman who is woman, and
a baby. In the early days of mining in
California, a true woman ruled as
queen in miners camp, and If she was
the mother of an infant, she reigned as
an empress. A good story is told by the
California Eye, which is worth repeat
ing:
Nestled close by the saloon at Grand
Forks, in the very heart of the peaks OF
the Sierras, was the home of Henry Mil
Ter. a brother of Joaquin Miller. lie
had very sensible woman for wife,
who bore him beautiful son.
When the child was three weeks old (,
Mr.. Miller, in waggish way, told the
''b0vs" he had 'struck it rich" and had
at that very time a nugget at his house
that weighed twelve pounds. Ii any Of
them doubted his word, they could call

In few minu es delegation OF min

straight line for Miller's home.

There is a silent lesson of true hearts,
more forcible, than sermons, in this
touching little scene reported in The
Knoxville (Tenn) Tribune;
In Sullivan county, near Bristol, live
an old couple on q small poor farm
where they raised two sturdy sons,
both of whom fell in the war fighting for
the cause that failed.
The old people have worked along for
years, barely earning living. They
had few fruit trees growing on differ
ent parts of the farm, that last year
yielded an abundant crop.
The old people gathered the frait and
dried it, and the other day, in little
one horse wagon, carried it to Bristol TO
sell.
The fruit was weighed. the merchant
placed forty dollars worth of goods in
the little wagon and forty dollars in cash
in the old mans hand.
As the old lady received the money
from her husband, and put it away in
the old-fashioned purse, she said, as
something seemed to rise in her throat,
John, we are richer to-day than we
have been since our boys went away to
war"
The old man, without saying a word,
threw his arms around his old wife and
Rugged her like young lover, while
they both cried like children.
The clerk who was standing near,
crept quietly to the back part of the
store and began busting pile of goods,
that had no dust on them; and that
night ne asked his sweetheart to play
"Will you love me when Pm old?"

The progress of science has scarcely
affected the methods i'll use in the kitch-
ems Few cooks know that in boiling
meats and vegetable it is the heat which
does the work, and so they keep the
pot boiling vigorously all the while,
simply to evdporate water, which must
be replaced by repeated additions, when
a constant temperature near the boiling
point would accomplish the same result
with no boiling and a great saving of
heat. Substances containing albumen,
like meats and fish, are put into cold
water, which allows the albumen to be
dissolved out and wasted, the most nut
ritious part of the food, when they
should be put into water nearly boiling
hot to form hard coat over the outside
and prevent all loss. But this pointing
out of mistakes and abuses will not
aid; we viii try to show better
way.
Eggs are usually boiled three or four
minutes This is a mistaken method.
To cook an egg properly the white, or
albumen, should be just eurdled, while
the yolk should be hardened. Now,
the yolk hardens at a temperature when
the aibumen cUrdles. But if cooked In
boiling water the albumen is hardened,
since it har6ens at that temperature,
while very often the yoIk IS not hard
ened, because the egg Is removed before
the yolk is properly heated. The cor
rect method, then. is 10 place the egg in
a small amount of boiling water, remove
the vessel from the stove and Jet it cool.
After ten or fifteen minutes remove the
egg and it will be found properly cooked;
the albumen coagulated but not hard
ened; the yolk hardened.

When Mr.. Jossyln returned home he
was considerably surprised There was
no supper ready; tife fire in the best

these cool fall evenings; the front door
stood wide open, and Zara--usually pTu-

Storey!
Only one short year, yet what change

mountains. a most lovely flower gar

a clear little brook, and bounded by
blue, wooded hills in the distance, met

How very happy she wasl
Almost year had she been William
Storey's wife, almost year since The
quiet little wedding at BoZeman had Ia
Ken place, and she had left the great
territory-the wild new far Vest
forever. She was in Laurel now, in her
old home, bought for her by her hus-
band shortly after their arrival East.
She had been welcomed cordially by
William StOrey's people, and had spent
many pleasant weeks with them in the
quaint graystone homestead on the Hu J.
son.
But in Laurel she was the happiest.
She did not care to leave it even for
day. For hours she would lie in the
hammock simply gazing up at the NAPLES
and elms above her; so thankful to see
trees once more!
William Storey was mexpressibly
touched by her childish joy over things
that he had hardly given a thought TO
during his entire lifetime Through
her he learned to notice much that
was beautiful which had hitherto been
unheeded.
Soon Zara's father was coming to her,
that was another pleasure in store for
her. The sheep-Quite numerous
