The Knights of the Burnt Cork Perform
to Fair Hou-s-CoUtinuOus Laugh
ter Tor Over Two Hours.


A good-sz audience greeted the
Leav,tt'- Minstrel troupe in the opera
house last night, and il is safe to say
that those who were there never
laughed more in the same length of
time, from the beginning to the end of
the performance. Had the troupe got
what II deserved house packed from
pit to parquet would have greeted it
on It's OPP ning night in this city. The
performance was thoroughly enjoyed
by all and it WAS of the highest order
OF mrn-trelsy. The band WAS superb
aud, seated above the knights OF the
burnt cork in the first part, pr0daced
a noveland pleasing effect. The entire
oomrany was biucked, and AS the cur
tain first rolled up, the sight alone was
mirth inspiring,

FARM AND PRESIDE.

Never paper wall over old paper.
This may be removed by dampening it
with saleratus and water.
-Dairymen have found that oat mid
dlings are one of the best rations that
can be fed for the promotion of the
milk yield.
Every farm should have root
crop as part Of rotation.
A root crop cleans the land Of
weeds and furnishes an abundance Of
food for farm animals.-N Y. Times.
Fresh grated cocoanut is considered
by some cooks 4 welcome addition to
plain ice cream. 1t should be put in
and mixed with the cream after that
has commenced to freeze.
Joseph Allen, in the Ohio Farmer,
thinks farmer might as well attempt
to dodge death and taxes rs escape the
results of unwise or unkind treatment
of his COW or other stock animals.
In recent address at Columbus,
O., Secretary Chamberlain recon-
mended the use of glazed instead of I'M
glazed tiles for Undertakings, as the
former will last lifetime, or longer.
while all the water, practically, enters
at the points between the tiles Mt any
rate.
Excellent fried cakes to be eaten
while fresh are made of two well-beaten
eggs, a large pinch of salt and flour
enough to make dough that can be
rolled. Cut with n fancy cake cutter

while still warm dip them into pow
dered sugar. They may be Favored

MIR. Isaac Garthe gives the North
Uest Farmer the following direction for
making bushel crate for shipping
potatoes to market: For the ends use
inch boards, cut 12k inches square
For Stats use half-inch stuif, 3! inches
wide, putting three Stats ut the bottom
of the crate, and three on each side.
The crate, when finished, should meas
ure twenty inches long, outside measure.
These crates, Mr.. Garthe claims, are
the most convenient size for loading q
wagon box.
Pumpkins and squashes require
less cultivation than almost any of the
crops raised in the field or garden.
There is cheapness and profit in using
them for feeding stock during the fall
and early part of winter. Squashes
make an invaluable feed for fowls
during the winter. They require some
fresh food, and in many places it is
easier to supply them with squashes
than any other fruit or vegetable. Pump
kins fed in connection with corn to fat
tening hogs have a salutary effect upon
the health of the animals. who will put
on more fat in a given time. and make
a finer showing than under the old
system of almost exclusive corn feeding

rection. not from any power in ma

mediation of Jesus Christ. He has
promised His intercession to all who
seek it and He will not break his word;
that His intercesSiOn, once granted, can
not be rejected; for He is God, and His
merits are infinite; mans sins are but

Effect Of an Arctic Climate.

The effects of the climate upon ma
terials and men are exactly the same rs
in n tropical country. The boards
which we're unloadcd from the ship to
make our house shrank and cracked
open as if under the influence of a tor
rid sun. And have suffered from thirst
there even more acutely than on the
arid plains of Arizona and New Mex
leo. The natives suffer terribly for
want of water in the winter time, and
before the cold season thoroughly set
in provided against that for ourselves
by cutting and cording up a lot of ice
about foot thick, which we melted as
needed. The natives pleaded with me
often for a drink, and as that was
something that there need be no lack
of as long as our fuel lasted, they had
two years of plenty in that respect. As
in the tropics. the children reach the
age of puberty in a few years. Ex-
tremes do meet. BY wise provision
some of the ordinary demands of nature
are, in measure. suspended in that
latitude, and minimum of inconven-
fence is secured. Some of the natives,
however, abuse even this indulgence,
which may extend over u period of two
weeks without hurtful results, aud the
most frequent calls upon my physician
stores were for laxatives. .How deep
does the snow fall?' ssOnly about
foot during the season. You see there
is no evaporation to speak of, conse-
quently no precipitation, and the snow
fall is very light. 1t drifts in the gales,
and after we had rot o,rr hnuSo huiIr n
was not long until it was covered. We
ran tunnels then to our ice pack and to
the two obseryatories, some distance
from the house, and all the time we
were there the tunnels were our only
lines of communication.

Willing Prisoners in Ludlow Street.

In the course of the debate on this
bill in the Legislature prisoner was
discovered who had been for five years
confined in county Jail and who re-
fused to be discharged. The debt was
small sum, and The expense of keep
ing the man has been a great deal more
than the debt itself: in 9th words, the
Sta would have made money if it had
paid the debt and discharged the man
in the tirst place. Now the man abso-
lutely refuses to GO or pay his debts,
and the difficult problem comes up OF
how to gre; him out of .ail? One Leg s.
lator, who, of course, is evidently an
1rishman, suggests that the Jail be re-
moved and built elsewhere, leaving
the man to Iemain if he wants
to where LIE is. If the records
of Ludlow Street Jail in tbs city
were searched. half score of such per-
sons would be found many o. whom
have be- n there longer than five years,
and are tenacious of the right to re-
main. They have found it easy living,
and some of them have found 1t protita-
bic. One or them, who had been there
seven years, in ISL. kept the cigar
stduu anu SllooH Ill the JAN. All ca
animation OF the iniquities of the prison
led. in 1871, to q general delivery OF
the all: but this man was one who abb
solutely refu ed to leave. although his
discharge was directed by Judge Ber-
nard. | do not know know whether he
still remains there, but if he is alive it
is safe to assert he does. He was in
fer fraudulent Indebtedness to a consid-
cradle amount-N. L. Erenin3 Post.

The Tin Cans Mission.

The empty tin can at last has a mis-
sion, and a profitable one at that Emptied
of its contents of peaches or toma-
toes, discarded and thrown out at the
kitchen gate, tit may soon be sent in at
the front door or find an honoreu place
in the best room IN the house Thou
sands Of these cans are gathered in
Philadelphia every week and made into
shining sheets and used to decorate or
cover large travelling trunks, and thus
get promotion from the back yard to
the boudoir. On the outskirts of the
city, within a short time, number of
factories for the conversion of these old
buffeted and battered cans and other tin
refuse from the ash heaps have sprung
up; and the business is a growing one.
One of considerable size is on Nova
mensing Avenue, below Miflin Street,
where a large force of men is kept busy
day in and day out. The cans are col
lected in various ways, but principally
from the city's ash heaps and the hotels
and large boarding houses. At the
factory the soldered seams are subjected
TO an intense heat in such way that
the solder is allowed to run into a re-
ceptacle, and is carefully saved and
sold. the profit from this source alone
almost paying for the expense of gath
ering and handling of the cans. The
tops and bottoms OF the cans are melted
and turned into window sash weights.
The labels an the tin plates are easily
taken of, after having been thoroughly
soaked in water and the plates them
selves rolled out fiat by machinery. As
the inside of the plates are not much
discolored by the contents of the can
they present clean surface and make
excellent covers for trunks, the seams
being hidden by the trunk braces, either
of wood or sheet iron. Other uses are
also made of the tin plates, and there
is considerable profit in the business.
The process is quite simple, and very
little capital is required. One concern
in this city rolled out 10000 Of these
plates in less than two months, and the
industry promises to be largely devel.
cped both here and elsewhere Pals. |
