The means used to "bulln and "bear
or raise and depress the prices of stocks,
grain, provisions, ETC., are innumerable,
varying with the needs of the times, but
influenced much more by the combina-
tons of capitalists and brokers' The
"bulls" magnify every circumstance ia
vorable to the appreciation of the stocks
they hold or have agreed to take at q
given time, while those who have con-
tracted to deliver such stocks, or who
for any reason wish to buy, do all in
their power to depreciate them, and are,
therefore, nicknamed clears" Any one
who has ever witnessed bull and bear
fight will not question the appropriate
ness of these terms as applied TO the
combatants in the exciting wars among
the kings of the stock board The bulls
struggle to toss the stocks higher;
the bears squeeze and tug to force
the prices down. The former re-
sort to all kinds of expedients to induce
small holders to cling fast to their stocks
instead Of putting them on the market
They persuade them by direct appeals,
or by circulating encouraging reports,
UIat tneSe STOCKS are pound 10 rise rap
idly in value; and they often combine to
buy up the stock of the few who persist
in selling, so as to "corner" the market.
Not content with fair means, they some
times enter into combinations with one
another, and employ third parties to buy
and sell stocks of the same description
on Change, in such way as to create
the impression that there is greater de-
mand for them than there really is, when
in fact the sales are never consummated,
or merely amount to an exchange among
themselves. Often, when neither the
foreign nor home news was favorable to
their purposes, false reports have been
telegraphed through the country by in
terested parties, to affect the stock
board. Similar methods are pursued on
boards of trade.

A Little Russians Bath.

A little mouschik is taught to be yer,
clean-once week. The Russian creed
requires him to battle every Saturday,
and he does so religiously, but does not
see much water between times, and sleeps
by night in the clothes he wears by day.
Even the Russians Of better families
content themselves with dry polish in i.
stead of wash. Little VANS bath
would be a trying thing for an English
child. First he is steamed till he is half
sutfocated in hole under the stove or
in one of the vapor baths constructed in
rude manner in all Russian villages
Then he crawls out, and mother half
browns him with pailfuls of hot water.
Then she pours ice-cold water over him.
or sends him out to have q roll in the
snow, after which little Ivan dresses,
with pride, having had all the cleaning
he will get for week.

Household Hints and Recipes.

Carrots boiled and then Drowned in
butter are an appetizing dish.
If little kerosene is mixed with stove
polish, it will assist greatly in improving
the look of rusty stoves.
Oatmeal porridge is one of the best
things to begin the day with. Those who
dislike it should take it as q medicine.
Cream sauce for pudding is made al
one cup of sugar and half cup of butter
beaten together and thinned with cup
of rich cream; flavor with vanilla.
Never wash in warm water before
going out in the cold air. Such prac-
tice will roughen the skin. Warm water
should be used only before retiring.
/ -Nourishing and palatable soup is made
by boiling a piece of ham with some
dried lima beans. Ifyou have beef stock
also it will be all the better. Season
with pepper and salt, dash OF curry
powder.
If baby is hoarse at night, take a small
piece of oil silk, rub little lard or ami
NAL oil of any kind over it and fasten it
next his skin, over the chest. 1t may be
pinned with small safety pins to his
wrapper
Sponges which are to be used in the
bathroom may be softened by boiling
for few minutes in three waters. After
each time of boiling rinse it in cold
water, and put on the stove again in a
pan of cold water.
Excellent breakfast cakes are made of
three eggs, one teaspoonful of sugar, one
coffee cup of sweet milk, one cup of warm
water, three tablespoonfuls of yeast, flour
enough to make stiff batter. Leave
the whites of the eggs until the batter
has risen, then add them; pinch of salt
is needed. If started the night before,
these cakes are delicious. They will be
as light as puffs.
Pudding made of cracked wheat is
very agreeable and nourishing. To one
quart of sweet milk allow nearly half a
cupful of cracked wheat; put it in a
pudding dish and bake slowly for two
hours, stirring it several tines. If you
choose to do SO you can add raisins and
little cinnamon for flavoring, but most
people prefer it well sailed, and to eat it
with little cream and sugar. This is nice
both warm and cold.
Potatoes broiled whole are prepared as
follows: Thoroughly wash some rather
small, even-sized potatoes, put them
over the fire in boiling water, and boil
them until they they are tender enough
TO pierce with small, sharp knife-blade
do not let them cook long enough to
grow mealy; as soon as they are tender
peel them smoothly, lay them on a grid
iron over hot fire, and turn them about
until they are nicely Drowned while the
potatoes are browning melt little butter
with salt and pepper and pour it over
the potatoes when they are served.

were rotting and were picked out Of o
heap Of forty or fifty bushels were put
into a corner and well busted with slack
lime. They stopped rotting at once, and
the decayed parts are now dried up.
There is no disagreeable smell about
them.
Some fruit growers are Of the opinion
that there is no cure for fellows on peach
trees, but claim that the disease may be
prevented by judicious management
Peach trees should be cultivated, not
plowed, and kept clean for the first
three or four years. After that time
a grass crop may be permitted, but the
land should be annually broadcasted
with some fertilizer rich in potash. The
borers must be kept away, and all dead
branches carefully removed.
Those who have meadow land that has
been drained and seeded down to the
better qualities OF grasses often find it
necessary, the Massachusetts PlOughman
says, to apply dressing of sand, ex-
perience teaching that it very much i'm
proves the condition of the grass roots
and increases the crop of grass; some
times quite as much as dressing of ma
nure. The reason why this is so few stop
to inquire. The application of sand to
meadow often accomplishes double
purpose. First, it lightens up the soil
and gives the water chance to drain
off, and second, it furnishes silica to
the grass, which is necessary to strengthen
the stalk.
An old farmer who has carefully testeo
the matter, thinks that he can secure
better results from scalding the feed fol-
his cattle than by steaming or any other
method of cooking He puts the cut
feed in his trough, pours in hot water
and then puts on meal, then follows up
with more hot water and closes the tank.
This operation is done in the morning,
and by evening the food thus prepared
will be soft and palatable. He always
prepares in the morning the feed that
will be used in the evening and vice
versa. Stock fed in this manner will
come out at the end of the winter in fine
condition and with smooth and glossy
hair, indicating perfect health. Stock

A correspondent of Vtek's Magazine
says: There are very few people not
fond of lettuce in the early spring. Hav-
ing removed from the city where early
lettuce could be bought at the markets,
l was much at loss for this refreshing
salad plant-at least, until quite warm
weather. Knowing it to be quite hardy,
! last autumn sowed some seed in a warm,
dry spot, and in week or two the plants
were up. Before hard frost l placed
around my little patch some boards-to
be particular, an old door frame--an1
over this some loose boards, covering
about two-thirds of the space, so that
there was about one-third uncovered for
light and air. 1t was where it got the
best of the sun, sloping southeast, and it
was surprise to find how early l had
young lettuce from this rude bed. Oh
course, this will be no benefit to those
who have hot-beds and other conven-
fences for forcing vegetables, but to very
many of your readers think the knowl.

New YOrk's Central Park.

One of the chief glories of New York,
says a letter to the New Orleans Times
Democrat, is its justly famed Central
Park. A description of it in type
would fail utterly to depict it so that
the reader could thoroughly realize the
picture. Its principal beauty to me is
its happy, though artificial, adaptation
to natures simplest, yet most pleasing
laws of landscape gardening, and
thereby its delightful contrast to the
artificiality of the great city that
surges up all around it, but whose de-
vouring wave is stayed by the Slight
wave of verdure which enriches the
wide domain. 1t is truly peoples
park. The rich ride in it and drive in
it. The poor walk in it, and stroll in
it, and sit in it, and play in it, ard lie
in it. BY tens of thousands they are
there on bright days. Their little ones
fairly revel in it. 1t is a new life, re-
newed weekly, to the myriad of hewers
of wood and drawers of water. The
squirrels, the sparrows, the ducks, the
swans delight in it. Even those cynics,
the newspaper men, take pleasure in
it. Yea, verify! And when you stand
on the lofty, rocky elevation in the
center Of the park, whence the vision
sweeps the horizon, with the great
city's roofs and towers stretching
miles on miles in all directions and the
sun going down to his rest, casts
golden CLEANS over the wide sea of
dells and hillocks, and trees and grass
and rivulets and lakes at your feet,
glow of generous feeling fills the breast;
feeling of admiration and respect for
the philanthropic men who presented
this noble gift to their fellow-men for
all time and for all men.

Where to See the Great TrOtters of
New York.
[Cincinnati Times.star. j.,

No two men in America have had
more experience with fine trotting stock,
and none are better judges than Calvin
M. Priest, of the New York Club Stables,
28th street, near Fifth avenue, and Dan
Mace, of the Excelsior Stables, West Goth

In some sections of the South the Ber-

The claim that stumps may be eX-

filling the holes with saltpeter, has not
been borne out by facts. 1t does well in
dry season, but the stumps burn easily,
without the aid of saltpeter during such
periods.
AS the country grows older the old
plan of planting large blocks Of trees SC
closely that their roots run together, does
not meet its former success. 1t requires
more heavy manuring than is usually

Timely Sugges tiOns About Pneumonia.
This Is the time of year when so many per-
sons fall victims to pneumonia and other
lung diseases. Hence, we call attention to
the following interview with a prominent
physician:
What is pneumonia ?'
Pneumonia is an acute lung disease and
commences with severe chill and fever. 1t
seems to be an affection of the lungs, but il
is really caused by the blood being impover-
ished by the non-removal of natural acids by
the liver and kidneys. Pneumonia is always
proof of diseased kidneys and liver. Indeed,
this is true of many other lung disorders
also.
Pneumonia is very dangerous disease and
the patient must be treated with hot drinks,
and the chest be covered with mustard poul-
tees, and then call the best physician
How would you prevent such diseasesf'
"By keeping the skin, liver, bowels and
kidneys in healthful activity. Then the blood
is free from acid poisons and pneumonia
need not be feared" For this purpose we
know of nothing better than DR.. David Ken
nedy's Favorite Remedy, which is highly
reputed specific for all liver, kidney, bowe
and blood disorders. 1t is made, we believe,
