DIVERS REASONS

Beneath the Surface.


A day or two ago report was whis-
pered along the docks that a jug con-
iaining four gallons of brandy had
clipped off the wharf at the foot Of First
street and was at the bottom Of the
river. Within an hour after infOrma-
ton had reached the first pair of ears q
man came sauntering down upon the
dock with 8 sort of grspnel attached to
a clothes line, and IS he caught sight OF
the owner of the warehouse he said:
Being that the ice is all out, I'd like
to grapple for that gold watch lost here
last fall"
He was told to go ahead with all his
might, but he had scarcely inside ready
when a second man arrived. He had
an iron hook fastened to stout cord,
and he promptly explained:
Being a. | had nothing to do today,
{ thought q try to look up one o. them
grindstCnes that tumbled in here last
iail.n
The two were working away with
their liner when a third man put in an
appearance. He seemed considerably
surprised to find any one ahead OF him,
but aS he got his grapuei ready he calm
ly observed TO the pair:
''pve dreamed three nights running
that there was q brass Kettle down here,
and | thought if could hook it up and
sell it for - I'd be so much ahead"
Ii wasn't over quarter OF an hour
before fourth man arrived. He had
an iron rake attached TO a long pole,
and a he found the trio at work he
sung out:
"Well, now, but if any of you fellows
find the shot gun lost here last sum-
mer I'll set up the drinks"
The fifth man came down to look for
a coal shovel.
The sixth man just found time to drag
for the body OF his nephew, supposed to
have been In the water two months.
The seventh came down, saw the six
at work, and turning to the warehouse
man he growled: =,
always the way. Last night l
dreamed of fishing up S26 cook stove
from the bottom here, and come down
to find q whole gang ahead OF me.

Variety in FarIsing.

It is the idea of many that any one
can learn to farm. But as there are 80
many branches of farming any one of
which require years OF steady and close
application to master by the best minds,
it is deemed advisable for all farmers to
avoid undertaking too many things.
There are some vegetables, grains and
fruits which have been raised 30 long
and are so well understood, that their
production does not require SO much
study, and can be used probably in
making up variety on the farm. And
vet these simplest things require active
minds, and close atteation To- business,
to produce proftably, and great care
and Thought tsssell to advantage.
But there are many things, which rs
o,1ire the undivided attention and study
.1 the most active minds. 1t will not
.oiteu prove success, il any man at
..empts to carry on two or more of them
at the, same time And while We would
advise variety in fartning, the diversity
.shou.ds be so selected that the ona great
division shall not be neglected by the

The Fatal Poison of the Cup.

Henry Ward Beecher in u late Sermon.
I feel sore at heart now. One of the
noblest natures that used to sit in these
seats, and one I loved and who loved
me: whose hand was as large in its
generosity as prairie; who had all the
prospects of n9ble ard useful life, who
co;:ld restrain hi.nsSlf and stop when
he'ua mind to. But he has gone, gone
down to such degree of intemperance
that his friends have given him up in
despair. How many of that kind have
l seen; and the time past did not suffice
for him. or for them. They Say: To be
sure l know drink little; but it is not
necessity for me; can give it up to-
day. But they don't; and they don't
next year, or the year after; and when
they hear the roar OF the tide of perdi-
ton, over the verge of which they will
plunge finally, they can't. The time
when men ought to stop is when they
first see the peri; when there is time
enough for migement, enough to bring
the higher qualities of the mind to sit
in judgement over the lower.

Cheese as Food.

Mr.. Matthieu Williams tells Us that
we do not begin to know the value of
cheese in cooking, and is responsible
for the statement (as the London Queen
gives it) that twenty pounds of cheese
contains as much nutrition as there is in
a whole sheep weighing sixty pounds.
Considering the difference in cost be-
tween cheese and mutton this is GER:
tainly news for the house provider. Ex-
cept as Welsh rarebit maccaronl au
gratin and the fancies in cheese pastry
for desert, the valuable "casein" is little
used in cooking, although cheese por-
ridge, cheese rice, and the addition Of
cheese, to- mashed potato, to
boiled mush, and to hasty
pudding, are all known to disappointing.
Now all of these preparations are said to
be equal in food-vaIue to beef and NUT
ton, which should certainly help to
make them popular. In his cooking lee
lures Mr.. Williams dissolves his cheese
in milk or water, and adds little SAL:
eratus to it. (bi.carbonate of potash
which brings it bac< to its original sol
uble form. Most of the cookbook re-
cipes for using cheese require the adj
dition Of egg, which is an item. of sxpen-
siTeness in midwinter, so that plain
grated cheese in the simple dishes mem
toned, with oatmeal, with buckWheat,
With rice, with potato, are quite novel;
ties. They can be tried with or without
the sa]eratus addition. rs
