The women here have gorgeous ma

it with. When the Bona Des, out of
her bounteousness, make blue Grass
woman, she takes care never to spoil
the Job. A soft, white, warm body,
translucent with divine light, and curv-

the tendrils of the vine, is the ground
work upon which nature lines the
human. angel. Eyes softly bright, but
luminously intense; cheeks like the da-
mask rose, with buttercups Of dimples,
in whose honeyea MART sly Puck or
Oberon might sleep; lips like ox:heart
cherries Ut the centre, but flexible as .
smoke wreath; and fading away into tho
soft cheek like the heats blood of 4

Scared the Captain.

Timothy Dexter, the famous ricn
'lord" of Newburyport, Mass, had
nothing to boast of himself in physical
size, but he had all the admiration of
Frederick the Great for big men. He kept
an enormous fellow six feet and seven
inches high to "do his fighting for him."
The giants name was William Burley.
and Dexter with his usual droll fancy,
dubbed him "Dwarf Billy" ny which
epithet he was always known about the
place.
One day q bold and boisterous sea cap
tain made the eccentric landlord visit,
He had been pulling at the halyards"
and his voice louder than usual. He
found fault with everything he saw-the
paintings and statuary were criticised
Numerically, the gardens were not half
20 fine as Lord So-and-So's in England;
the apples were not half so big
Is they had in Halifax, etc.,
etc.; and, in short. he showed
himself SO uncivil that Dexter in a rage
ordered him to leave the place, or he
would send for his men and put him off.
This was just amusing to the captains
mood, for he would like nothing better
than a fight.
That's too goodl" he cried, with a
loud, scoffing laugh. "Send any three of
your men to me. and I'll give them fair
play. Let them put me off if they can"
"Here! send Dwarf Billy here!" shout
ed Dexter, to one of his servants.
"None Of your dwarisl" yelled the
captain, In high indignation. IF you're
ookiae t fpp at ne y 9g9'ye SIT bold Of the
ont Of his pocket i''1I wager . pound
that no two men that you've got can set
me off these premises 1by fair corporal
strength!'
Just then Dwarf Billy hove in sight.
He advanced and stood before the cap.
tain with his arms bare, his shirt-co!lar
open, and throwing on his antagonist =
said,-
"Lord Dexter. do you want me to
skin him before cut him?"
"Do as you please" said Dexter great
Ilv amused to see how the bold captain
looked.
The captain eyed the man:monster TO:
some time, and then handed over the
guinea to Dexter, saying,-
"I'H cry quarter! Ii this is your
dwarf, how big are your giants?"
Dexter, with grin, handed him
,ome apples, remarking that it was 9
rood deal better to eat than to fight, and
reminding him that while he might
have seen bigger apples in Halifax
Than bis, he had slightly moderated the
size of his men; and the Falstaffian cap
tain walked away without any more
brag.

Miseries of q Defective Memory

Miseries of q Defective Memory.
From the Christian Advocate.
The miseries OF poor verbal memory
are great. The Rev. Arthur Mursell, Of
England, says that his own father was
one of the most :impassioned and pow.
erful extempore orators he ever heard;
but he had q bad verbal memory, and
latter working us up with splendid
passage of unprepared and inpromtu el-
oQuence, he tried to close the sentence
with the text, Mercy and truth are met
together; Righteousness. andpeace have
kissed each otherv But the words e.
capped his recollection, and he said:
Mercy and truth are met together, and
-and-two similar sentiments have
kissed each other!' Bad a. the verbal
memory may by nature be, it is capable
of great improvement. We have seen .
minister who, till he WAS forty, did not
dare to quote verse Of. scripture or a
line of poetry; when, hearing some one
say that the defect could be removed,
made it a matter Of study, and soon at-
tanned the power to quote what he would.

Teach the Boys to Carve.

There is probably nothing which gives
greater pleasure to q certain class Of peo-
pie than the mere fact that their meat is
cut as it ought to be. 1t is true that,
generally speaking. too little attention is
given to the subject of carving. Few
gentlemen commence early enough in
life to attain complete success. If it
were only thought to be worth while
our boys might all he taught to bone a
turkey, or to slice the roast OF beef or
lamb with grace and perfect ease. A
carving knife and fork were among the
gifts at wedding not long since, and .
legend on card accompanying it might
have been quoted from Montague. 60
full of wisdom was it: "Always cut your
meat the right way of the grain"

LEMON AND GINGER BEER.-Among all
the slightly stimulating beverages there
are none superior to those made out of
ginger, cream of tartar and lemons with
white or brown sugar. And the weak
est stomach will find it an agreeable
drink in hot weather. Get four ounces
of race ginger root we'll bruised or
pounded. Mix with it three ounces of
cream of tartar and five pounds of white
or light brown sugar. Add eight lemons
sliced very thin. Pour over this mix
ture five gallons of boiling water and let
it stand until milk warm. Then add one
teacupful of yeast poured on to 9 crust
of bread which will float on the top.
Let it ferment over night in q warm
place, covering the pail or firkin with a
pan or cloth. Or put it in small key
and let it stand IL hours and ferment
through the bunghole. Then close up
tightly and it will be ready 10 drink in
two daye. 1fleft to ferment in a firkin,
bottle it the next morning, filling the
bottles only two-thirds full. and corking
very tightly. Lager beer hotties are the
best for ginger beer or "ginger pop" al
it is often called. In two days it will
foam like cream ale, aud BIO much more
delicious in flavor. 1t must be kept on
ice Or in cool cellar as It is apt to BE-
come too sour if kept in warm place,
but a teaspoonful of sugar in each
tumblerful obviates the acidity. This
beer is most excellent for home consump-
ton and it is very refreshing at the din
ner table.
GINGER BEER PowDERs.-Ginger beer
can also be made in portable form and
is excellent for travelling. Take one
dram of powdered ginger, four ounces
of powdered sugar and five drains oil
druggist carbonate of soda. Divide the
mixture into II parts, and put up in pa.
pers. Take one ounce of tartaric acid
and divide into II papers, and put up in
different colored paper. Use the two
powders as for soda. powders, dissolvinq
the largest paper in q third of tumblel

Testing Dairy Cows.

A good idea is suggested by q CORE
spondent of the Country Gentleman,
who advocates the testing of the butter
producing powers of common COWS as
we'll as the Jerseys and Guernseys in
different parts of the country (he says,
from time to time, test the butter-pro-
ducing powers Of their herds, and of
certain COWS in the herd. This has of
late come to be attended with consider
able blowing of horns, and stripped of
its disguise is. believe. understood to
be an advertisement. OF course, when
the ,animal subjected to the test per-
forms handsomely at the pail, the result
is of value 70 the other breeders. If q
test is W liable to any particular breed,
it is of value to another breed. If q test
is of value for the purpose of showing
farmers how that breed is superior to
the common stock of the country, tten
the same test should be applied to COM
mon COWS.
II would like to see farmers who
must and will continue 10 breed from
common stock make periodical tests of
all the COWS in their dairies. An animal
even il she is scrub, that will produce
ten pounds Of butter per week is of
more value for breeding purposes than
one that will only produce five pounds,
because her chances are many that her
calf will inherit the quality Of its dam.
She is also Of much more, value in
the dairy. It would be most excellent
thing for q farmer to know how many
COWS he is keeping that are unable to
produce five pounds of butter per week.
The farmer can make test that will be
approximately correct at much less cost
than that of a public test. 1t would not
have to be sworn to, or to be advertised,
and would satisfy the farmer himself;
who is the only one concerned. BY ali
means, let us have tests of our common
COWS, as we'll as tests Of Jerseys or
Guernsevs."
