Stem and stone sound, ripe cherries, and put them into an earthen bowl with half their weight of sugar; let them stand three days, and then boil them and stir them down six times.
 After the cherries have cooled in the syrup, skim them out, rinse them in lukewarm water, and dry them ip very moderate oven, but do not let them harden while the cherries are drying put the syrup over the fire and boil it until it reaches the degree called by the confectioners the "blow;" to determine this degree dip skinner in the boiling syrup, then hold it up and blow through it; if the syrup forms little sparkling bubbles over the holes ill the skinner it is in the right condition to use. Put the cherries into it, and again boil it tc the blow; then take the preserving ket- tie from the fire and rub the skinner against its sides until the syrup begins to "grain" or grow white and granular roll the cherries about in the grained sugar, then take them out of it with { wire spoon or large fork which vii gather up number and permit th' syrup to drain from them lay the cher riesson 8 sieve or wire grating over

He was very angry when he saw in the directory that his wife was wid- ow. She admitted to him that she had kept track of and knew of his move- ments for the last three years.
 :.'Well, then, in the name of common sense, why did you give it out that you were widow?"

Orchard Grass.

The agricultural editor of the New orchard grass and says that many years' experience with this grass can scarcely help giving favorable impression in regard to it.
 The preferable time for sowing this grass is in July or early in August, and this is very convenient time to follow 8 crop of potatoes, which leaves the ground in the best state for the seed. Orchard grass has a habit of growing in punches, but this is an effect of their seeding. The quantity of seed generally sown is one and one-half bushels to the acre, but this is not half enough. A very large allowance must be made for defec- tive vitality in the seed.
 If this seed is sown upon finely har- rowed soil, or on a surface that has been brushed so as to obliterate the harrow marks, immediately after the brushing, he tells us, no covering other than the natural settling of the seed into the soil will be necessary. But the sowing should be crossed, and a still air should be chosen for it. Not hoof should press the soil after the seed has been sown. It Is worth while to take all these pains with this grass, as when we'll put in it is good for thirty years at least, if not more, and will be found one of the most valuable fodder crops that can be grown.
 If sown in July or early in August 1t will be six or eight inches high before the winter and will be very safe against freezing out. Starting very early into growth the next spring, it will be ready for moving in June, or even earlier, as t will be better to mow it before the blossom appears, which will tend to re- press any tendency to make stools by excessive rprcud of the roots. It may be mown again in September, and may be pastured down as closely as possible be- fore the winter.
 Now grass that will thereafter afford dense pasture in April or two tons to the acre of hay in May, that will be ready for cutting, for soiling, or pasturing down three or four times in the summer, or yield second crop of hay in August and pasture after that. is one of the best that farmer can grow. And orchard grass will do all this, on good soil, with occasional dressings of manure or fertili- ger year after year for twenty years, and how many mere is not known because fev farmers give it 8 chance to do its best.

A Doctors Hint to Workingmen.

The following suggestions for those who need iberalsupply of drink in hot -a4s.AAiall h. the case of -har-- vesters, day-laborers, ball-players, crick- eters, etc., are worthy of attention.
 ''When you have any heavy work to do, do not take either beer, cider, or spirits. By far the best drink is thin oatmeal and water, with little sugar. The proportions area quarter of pound of oatmeal to two or three quarts of water, according to the heat Qf the day and your work and thirst; it should be well boiled, and an ounce or an ounce and half of brown sugar added. If you find it thicker than you like, add three quarts of water. Before you drink it shaker up the oatmeal well through the liquid. In summer drink this cold; in winter, hot. You will find it not only quenches thirst, but will give more strength and endurance than any other drink. If you cannot boil it, you can take little oatmeal mixed with cold water and sugar, but this is not so good always boil if you can. If at any time you have to make very long day, as il harvest, and cannot stop for meals, in crease the oatmeal to half pound, ol even three-quarters, and the water tt three quarts if you are likely to be very thirsty. For quenching thirst few things are better than weak coffee and little sugar. One ounce of coffee and half al
 ounce of sugar boiled in two quarts o
 water, and cooled, is very thirst
 quenching drink. Cold tea has the sam
 effect, but neither is so supporting a
 oatmeal. -Erchonge.

A War Incident.
best.

A New York Tribune correspondent says: The ex-O Confederate General Cor don told me an interesting story about two interviews he had with General Barlow. At Sharpsburg. Barlow was apparently mortally wounded and fell into Gordon's hands. Gordon took a liking to him and asked if he could not do something for Barlow.
 "I think not, General, said the young man; sIshall be buried here, no doubt. I do not expect to live. But you can do one thing for me; here is package of letters from my wife which I wish you to destroy before my eyes"
 Gordon, whS was then young man also. took the letters and was about to destroy them when Barlow, with bub- ble at his throat murmured:
 "Would you take the trouble to read me one of them first? Any one will do. !"
 Gordon opened one of the letters and read it to the dying man-his last friendly words, perhaps, from home; Then the letters were destroyed. But the incident touched Gordon so that he made special exertion to have Barlow sent through the lines or to have his wife admitted to him. This being done, the two arDo1oo. tCl1 hIoaTI LILO tIloSe-~hSA1 Se " each other no more. Gordon considered Barlow to be dead. Barlow had also seen that a General Gordon had been killed somewhere. They met again at g friendly table in Washington, but did not know each other through. the changes of time. After some lapse Gordon said
 "General Barlow, are you relative of that Barlow who was killed at An. tietam?'
 "No," said the General, "I am the same man. Are you any relative, " in auired Barlow in turn, "of that Genera | Gordon who was recently killed on the I Confederate side ?"
 "That was my cousin; I am John B Gordon"
 Then at the request of the person who overheard, Barlow told the tall amid tears and emotion on every side.

witnesses began some time ago, and was watched by the Jew hating populace with the intensest excitement. Esther's moth CT testified that she knew that the Jews had murdered Esther for "God had en- frightened her" on that point. The prin- cipal witness, the boy Moritz Scharf, presented singular spectacle. He re- fused to testify in German, his native tongue, and spoke only Hungarian, which plsased the crowd. His testi- mony was6iyen in low voice, a sing ing tone, dd always in exactly the same forms ot ekpression, as if he were read ing or redting something by rote. In the croesSxamination he stuck we'll to his storys but many questions which seemed tobe unexpected to him, he did not answer at all although they bore upon Fo1nts which he should have known. He made-ss-zenal- -a4atarnants which created great sensation.
 He had been told that Eff he did not tell the truth, as he was telling it, he would be imprisoned for life." If he did tell the trpth, as he did, "the Minis try of the Interior would take care of him." It was ''part of the religious law of the Jews to kill Christian children;" he knew it, for Catholic priests had told him so." He "thated the Jews and wanted to be ayew no longer" He hated his father and his stepmother; he had once ''thrown knife at the latter, and was not sorry for it." He wanted to be Christian" His testimony has re. mained unsupported by any other evi- dence. Some women said they had heard something like cry of distress in the neighborhood of the Synagogue on the day of Esthef's disappearance, but theys differed about the hour, and it seemed not to have occurred to any of them to raise an alarm or even to speak about it at the time
 Butit does appear that the local mag istrate conducting the first examination in which Moritz Scharfs story first took shape had pursued the case with the ardor of fanatic. The public prosecutor himself, who afterward took charge of it, soon came to the conclusion that Moritz Scharf's elaborate account of the mur- derswas an invention, pumped into the boy by constant drill, with the aid of threats and cajolery. And cable dis pathes speaking of the tortures inflicted upon the raftsmen to wiring from them their ''confession, indicate that the employment of such means was not con- fined to Moritz Scharf
