stamped envelopes of the present designs
will continue to be valid after the LIST of
October, and must be accepted in payment
of postage whenever offered. The three
cent stamps may be used in combination
with other combinations on letters requir-
ing more than one rate of postage, and on
parcels of the third and fourth class
matter.

Value of Big Hotels Refuse.

81 have just let the contract for the
swill of my house for next season at
$780," said the manager of large sum-
mer hotel to Journal reporter this
morning. 1.-THE price is very low, and
there seems to be no reason WIN the
contractor should not make 81 900 cle;.l
out of the DEAL
s'How can he treble his money?''
because the swill itself is worth at
least $1,000, and then the dishes he
picks out, besides the marked ones, are
good for $500 more. Why, do you
know that at one of the Coney Island
hotels. where | was formerly employed,
a man was hired for the express pur-
pose of sorting over the swill and pick
ing out the dishes?"
Chow do so many dishes get into the
swill?''
'sYou should get into the kitchen of
large hotel when a. rush comes. Every
thing goes-spoons, forks, knives and
dishes. Generally the siIverware is
marked, and SO is returned by the con-
tractor. The walters are very indifer-
ent. Why, do you know I once saw a
waiter with salyer full of clean COB
lets, which cost S1.90 a dozen, actually
slide them into the broken glass barrel
to save him the trouble of setting them
on a shelf. The destruction in water
ing place kitchen during rush is ter
rible. ALBANY journal.

Close Of the Christian Convention in
Chicago.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-The attendance. each
day upon the Christian Convention has been
something remarkable At each days SEES
sion many hundreds of people have been
turned away, the hall being insufficient to
accommodate them.
Yesterday morning, at the conclusion of
the usual devotional exercises Rev. Herrick
johnson discussed at length the TOPICS
"How Can the Personal and Social Study of
the Bible Be increased"
Then followed discussion by Revs
Emerich and Heilman and Prof. S. j. Cur
tbs of the question: Glow May Our For
eign Population Be Evangelized:"
In the afternoon the topic: elbow
Shall We Interest Our Children in the Cos
pel?' was argued by Rev. E. G. Ray, and
at the conclusion of his remarks Messrs.
Sankey and McGranahan followed on the
question: 'How May Music Be Best Used
and Controlled in Promoting Worship and
Spreading the Gospel?"
The evening service was more than ordi-
narily interesting. 1t was the closing SEES
sion of the convention, and hundreds of
people who had not satisfied their curiosity
with reference to the great evangelist's
turned out to see them. Long before the
meeting began every seat was taken, and
there was not even standing-room left so
that it become necessary to close the doors
and turn the crowd away. Hundreds went
to the overflow meeting in the First Metho-
dist Church. Mr. Moody led the Farwell
Hall meeting, and MI. Sankey the other.
After prayer and singing in the principal
gathering, Mr.. Moody announced that there
was no set programme for the closing ses-
sion, but that the object of the meeting
would be to discover how to put to practical
use the ideas which had been developed
during the convention; in other words how
to carry ON the work, Five-minute speeches
were made by Revs. Hatfield, Goodspeed,
Larimore and Reynolds and Mrs. Smithson,
of England. Mr.. Moody followed the latter
gentleman, and in turn was followed by
Bishop Cheney and Rev. P. S. Henson. The
convention closed with the doxology and 0
benediction by Rey. DR.. Scudder.

"Oh, a dozen or fifteen of them, |
suppose"
Then, seems to me, you ought to be
able to keep track of them pretty closely
and tell just where they are working at
any time"

ployed, you know" said Mr.. Pinkerton,
but, of course, when we run across
them we know pretty near how to get at
them, and if we get one of the principals
we know who his chief confcderates are,

for them, they keep changing all the

Butter is sour or cheesy, says Cole
mans Rural World, because of the milk
or cream being kept at too high temper
AZURE, or the butter, after forming in the
churn, was still churned and gathered IN
the bnttermilk which should have been
at once drawn off and water or brine
(Which is far better substituted to both
gather and wash Butter is notified be-
cause the salt, which raises the color,
has not touched those spots showing light,
while it should be thoroughly and uni
formly mixed in, or a strong brine while
butter is in granule form does it about
equally as well. Soft butter has various
causes, overworking the chief one; in
this case it will get solid, cut and try
smoothly exposed to cold, but slight heat
softens readily. Again, churning at high
temperature mikes in the buttermilk,
forming a soft mass and difficult to re-
move and readily turning rancid; chill
ing, washing and pressing is the only
remedy. Crisp, crumbly or short butter
is caused by too much water being
worked into it by design or accident, and
occurs chiefly in cool weather. White
specks are of two kinds, one sort be
ing cream in the act of forming
into butter; the other dry cream, either
from while sitting being disturbed, sep
aratcd and drying on sides of vessel, or
from dry, windy atmosphere. Butter
in which these are found is usually of
good flavor. TO finish, fine, solid batter
is the work of proper temperature
throughout; also preventing or removing
liquids from its composition before the
butter has set; after which disturbing its
formation, even though at the hands of
an expert, may make it closer grained,
but not solid or so crisp, nor will the but
ter so disturbed stand up under heat and
exposure so well. 1t is generally under
stood that when the grain of butter as
it is termed, is broken up by overwork-
ing, it can never be recovered to any eX-
tent This, ] claim, is mistake. 1t
may be subjected to a particular temper
allure, after being handled and musscd to
any extent, and yet brought back almost
to its original solidity. 1t will, how
ever, soften more readily in heat after

VERMICE1II SoUP.-Boil shank of
veal in three quarts of water, three
hours, with one whole turnip, onion and
carrot, then strain, and add small cup
of vermcelli and boil three-quarters of
an hour Season with pepper and salt;
if the water boils away add more.
Hoe CAKE.-Scald one quart of corn
meal. with Just enough hot water to
make thick batter; stir in two large
spoonfuls of butter beat this little be-
fore mixing it with the batter, so it will
rise readily; add half a teaspoonful of
salt. This should be baked at least
three quarters of an hour; butter the tins
well in which it is baked; serve hot.
TOAST JETLY.-Slice a quarter of
pound of bread and toast it carefully,
taking care not to burn it; pour over it
sufficient boiling water to entirely satur-
ate it; add two tablespoonfuls of sugar,
and very little grated nutmeg or pow
dered cloves, and boil it to pulp; pass
it through fine sieve with a wooden
spoon stir glass of good sherry wine in
it, and then cool it in an carthen mold or
bowl. Use it cold; a little sweet cream
poured over it increases its nutriment.
PASTE THAT WILL KEEP A YEAR,
Dissolve a teaspoonful of alum in a quart
of warm water When cold stir in as
much flour as will give it the consistency
of thick cream, being particular to beat
up all the Jumps; stir in as much pow
dcrcd rosin as will lie on a dime and
throw in half a dozen cloves to give
pleasant odor. Pour this -four mixture
into pan containing Il teacupful of boil
ing water, and stir it well over the fire.
In very few minutes it will be of the
consistency of mush. Pour it into an
earthen or china vessel; let it cool; lay n
cover on and put it in cool place.
When needed for use take out portion
and soften it with warm water. Paste
thus made will last twelve months. 1t
is better than gum, as it does not gloss
the paper and can be written on.
AMBER PUDDING.-One dozen large
tart apples, one cupful of sugar the
juice and rind of two lemons, six eggs,
four tablespoonfuls of butter, enough
puff or chopped paste to line Il three
pint pudding dish. Pare and quarter the
apples. Pare the thin rind from the
lemon, being careful not to cut into the
white part. Put the butter, apple and
lemon rind and juice in a stew-pan, with
half a cupful of water; cover tightly
and simmer quarters of an hour,
rub through Il sieve, add the sugar and
set away to cool. Line the dish with
paste. Beat the yolks of the eggs, and
stir into the cooled mixture. Turn this
into the lined dish. Bake slowly for half
an hour Beat the whites of the eggs to
a stiff froth and gradually beat into
them three tablcspoonfuls of powdered
sugar. Cover the pudding with this; re-
turn to the oven, and cook twelve min
utes with the door open. Serve either
hot or cold.

few leaves from the woods. The food
of the dairy cows consisted OF musty
corn-fodder, second crop clover, and
orchard grass badly cured, chaff from the
winnowings of the threshed grain, oats,
straw, etc. The cows were of course az
thin almost as skeletons, and their pro-
duct of poor milk was about one-halt of
what would have been obtained from
properly fed cattle. The fact is that the
farmer took no pride in his live stock.
The idea of giving them clean stalls,
good ventilation and nourishing food,
never entered his thoughts, and if it did
would have been regarded as an utter
waste of money without any return.
But look at the stables now of the
dairy stock! Their stalls are wide, clean
and fresh, the cattle themselves are
bright and sleek, with no projecting ribs,
and pleasant to handle, well-fcd, COM
Portable in every way, and giving two or
three times the quantity of milk and as
rich as it is abundant. The butter from
such COWS commands twice the price
from its careful manufacture and uniform
excellence. At the present time also the
farmer feels more pride in his dairy
stock than in anything else upon the
farm He finds that they give double
return for all the extra care and cost of
their improved treatment aud that he
has nothing upon his premises that pays
him so well in every respect as they

there was nothing so much neglected us

have seen the manure in the cattle stalls
two feet deep of almost clear dung, with
the hinder part of the animal at least one
foot higher than the front part, and the
cattle being driven out to the pasture field
with quantities of fresh dung hanging to
their TANKS, which from day to day re-
ceived layer upon layer until it was one
disgusting mass, and was left there until
it became dry and hard, and fell off in

One cause of the superiority some soils
have over others consist in their great alb
sorptive and retentive power. In light
and sandy soils the power of retaining
nutritive substances is less than in the
case of heavier Soils or thin soils having
much vegetable matter. The power of
soils to absorb and retain moisture is in
direct ratio not only to the quantity of
organic matter in the soil but also to the
fineness of the particles of the soil, hence
the importance of securing a proper de-
gree of tineness in the particles of a soil
if it is to withstand drought,
During dry weather plants require a
soil which is both absorptive and reten-
tive, and that soil which is capable of
Selling atmospheric moisture and holding
it when the atmosphere is heated is one
of the best constituted soils. Soils most
efficient in this respect are those in which
there is due mixture of sand finely
divided clay and carbonate of lime, with
some vegetable matter, and which are suf-
ficiently loose and light to be permeable
to the atmosphere.
Stiff clay soils, which take up great
quantities of water when it is poured on
them in fluid form, are not soils which
absorb most moisture from the atmos-
phere in dry weather; these cake and
bake, and present only a small surface to
the air and the vegetation on them
burns up
The temperature of soil depends
largely upon its humidity. Dry land alb
serbs heat more quickly and loses it more
slowly than that which is wet. This
fact explains one of the great benefits
arising from the drainage of low moist
districts. The temperature of drained
land is in summer often three degrees
above that of undrained land. Dark
colored soils absorb heat more rapidly
than do light colored ones.
