Beecher,s luxnrions Habits.

From the Ithaca Journal
Mr.. Beecher has directed his mana
ger, Mr.. Pond, to book an extensive
lecturing tour for next year Mr..
Beecher's salary is $4,000 per annum.
He averages toIeceive double this sum
from his lectures and large additional
sum from his pen. He isnot rich, how
ever. He keeps open house with his
son, with whom he resides), and gives,
loans, endorses and does other unbusi-
ness-hke things constantly at heavy
cost to his treasury, 1t is said that be-
yond his farm at Peekskill the house
and stock thereon, and his library and
bric-abrac there and at Brooklyn, the
great word-painter has nothing to show
| for his large income for each of very
many years. His library is so large
| that it is now being catalogued with q
| view to soon making sale therefrom
He has expended, it is estimsted, S130,
| 600 in books and as many more has
been given him by publishers. His
| house at Peekskill, built not long since,
Mr.. Beecher says, has cost him $4,000.
| Others who watch business matters
closer and are familiar with its growth,
say that $4,000 would be nearer the
| correct sum. His COWS are all Alder
neys, and the herd is believed to be
worth $4,000 to $4,000. His farm
and It's manner of running and open
hospitality is enough in itself to absorb
a large income. 1t is yet somewhat
incumbered. His collection of bric-a-
brac would make large and valuable

Twas OF golden bells in a golden time
With golden JOY to be;
twas a love that was love- love that dwells
From time to eternity;
Twas OF glowing lights that never grow dim
In The mists of the murly morn;
twas maiden that sung and her wild words
rung
To the notes of hunters horn,
Twas hope that stayed and hope that went
In fancy DER LIES sea;
Twas ship that sailed where wild winds went
Ger future fair for me.
Twas OF radiant days where Autmnal haze
hung over the horizons blue;
Twas magical time in magical land
Where magical roses grew
Ihere was naught but song in the perfumed air
And The whispering winds that blew
from The hills afar, TO my soul seemed fair
AS flowers that gladly grew
Above the graves of the fallen braves
That never a teardrop knew.

Health of Hogs.

There are many things to observe in
preserving the health and growth of
hogs, especially where a farmer has q
large number of them. The common
saying If, Gas dry as hog" And
yet IN rome respects hogs are particular
about cleanliness; and it is especially
important that their food, drink, beds
and quarters should be clean. Damp or
poorly ventilated places of keeping are
| the cause of many diseases, and aggra-
vate others. Hogs are the easiest aud
best way to make money il their health
can be preserved, consequently it will
justify any one to take great care and
incur considerable expense to insure
their health. Carbolic acid is the best
agent to use about hog pens and to mix
with their food. 1t is safe, easily under
stood, and can be used or administered
by any one without the least danger.
1t is cheap, and the farmers should use
it freel, in purifying the pens, beds, and
any foul places where the hogs frequent.
If hog cholera is in the neighborhood,
and hogs have been exposed by having
dead hogs hauled through the neighbor-
hood, or if cholera Is at any place above
| them on a stream of water, no matter
how far, hogs should be given carbolic
acid three times day. Ten drops is
enough for hog weighing one hundred
pounds, and the dose graduated more or
less, as the hog is heavier or lighter. 1t
can be given in liquid or ground food,
and the quantity is so light, that it VIII
be freely taken. 1t is not claimed that
it is remedy for cholera or any other
| malignant disease, but it is good to ward
off or intercept any diseases. Aud /, Is
so healthy an agent that it cen be ,rott
ably used at all times in limited way.

Soft gingerbread, made with sugar in
stead of molasses, helps to give variety.
Half pound of sugar should be rubbed
with three ounces of butter until the
butter is soft as cream. To this should
be added two well. beaten eggs, one tea
spoonful and a half of ginger, half a
spoonful Of soda dissolved 10 little wa
fer, and half cup of milk or cream, and
flour enough to make soft batter. Bake
as soon as it is mixed in hot oven. Eat
while fresh.
To make good tapioca pudding let
one cup of tapioca soak IN cold wa.
ter until it Is very soft, then boil it in
milk; nearly quart of milk may be used
with one cup of tapiooa; let it boil for
twenty minutes; add a little salt when
first putting in the milk; when like jelly
pour it into cups: let it stand until it is
cold, then serve with desert-spoonful
of currant jelly on the top of each cup.
Serve with sugar and cream. Lemon
jelly may be used instead of the other if
you choose.
CARRIAGES, savoys and greens must be
carefully cleaned, the coarse, outside
blades removed and the stock cut of
close to the bottom. Cut the larger
ones into quarters and the smaller ones
into halves, and cook them in enough
water to cover them. When done,
squeeze them between two plates in
order to remove the water. Dish them
compactly in vegetable dish, cut them
IN the dish through and through into
pieces of convenient size for helping at
table, and serve hot. When green's are
boiled along with round or rump of
beef they are better served saturated
with the beef liquor.
SHELVES are necessity il a summer
cottage where tables do not abound.
These may be manufactured by almost
any woman. Pieces of dry goods boxes
will do for the shelf; iron brackets, that
cost but trihe, and are strong, can be
purchased before you leave home. II
this shelf is in the sitting room for an
ornamental lambrequin, if your sur.
roundlngs are extremely simple and
plain, brown paper, or white, or cream
colored holland may be used, and this
may be gaily decorated by pinning or
catching with needle and thread some
of the wild vines that are found in the
woods, or ferns may be pressed for this
purpose and border made of them.
SPINACH treated in the following way
is excellent: After boiling until it is
tender, drain the spinach by placing ii
on sieve and taking care to have all
the water drained out; then chop it quite
fine, and put it in frying pan with q
good lump of butter, some pepper and
salt, stir it, AMI let it heat for about five
minutes; serve it hot, with a little vine
gar poured over it, and with hard boiled
eggs cut in slices aud arranged around
the edge of the dish. Lemon juice may
be used in place of vinegar if you prefer
it, and in that case send the lemon cut
in halves to the table on separate dish.

Eggs VS.. Eggs.

1t is noticeable fact that while white
shelled eggs are much sought for in the
New York markets, in Boston the COL
ored shelled will sell from 5 to 7 cents
more dozen.
We are quite positive we can detect
Brahma eggs from those OF the Leghorn,
Hamburg, game and French hens. Ger
tainly, if used for custards, five Brahma
eggs are equal to seven Hamburg or
Leghorn eggs. And the Brahma egg,
dropped in water, comes out in com
pact form; either of the other kinds,
having more watery white, will spread
out and present, to the Boston taste, a
less inviting appearance; and is, at the
same time, lacking in that rich flavor
peculiar to the Brahma egg. The latter
is, on the other hand, in New York, con-
sidered strong and coarse. There, pref
erence is given to the more delicate aud
less hearty white shelled varieties. But
the eggs of any hen that has not free
access to growing grass will be wanting
in color if she is not supplied with clover
tops. Glover hay will be greedily de-
voured, or the tops can be softened with
hot water and given in the cooked food.

FALLING APPLE BLOSSOMS.
BY CARROLL CLEMENT.

Far in the West where tn~ sans gone to rest,
The sky Is all tinted with gold,
Soft coudlets of white seem to flee from the night,
A. her curtain falls silent and cold.
And. soft on the air, there comes from afar
The silyery note OF bird,
And up from the fels comes the sound of the bells
or the lowing ne-coming herd.
From the aower-laien trees, scarce stirred by the
breeze,
Showers of sheli-tntsd bloom
Fan light at my feet in a shimmerng heap
Filling the with perfume;
And 1 think Of day looS since passed away,
When I stood alone in the shade,
Watching the showers Of dowu-falling flowers
That 50 soon we're to faint aud to fade.
Yet purer were they than the maid who that day
Nestled so Gloss at my side,
And thu summers warm light seemed not half SO
bright
As the 20 den locks Of my bride.
But when came the hour when fell the last flower
My darling was laid il the ground,
And here my side, where last May stood my bride,
There is naUght but gras5-coyered mound

Mr.. Blaine's record, and pronounced n

Mr.. Blaine's record, and pronounced h
spotless and satisfactory. In 1884 he
refuses to support him, on the ground
that his record is not good, though no
new charge has been fabricated by his
enemies. In 1882 Mr.. Curtis quoted
MIR. Blaine's speeches in favor of civil
service reform. In 1884 he opposes
him on the ground that he has not adj
voeated civil-service reform, and now
he crowns his hypocritical record by
declaring that "Blaine was doubtless
the choice of large majority of the
Republican party" and, by refusing to
support him after taking part in the
convention, sets himself up as above
the laws of honor and as knowing more
than the Republican party, and being
better than its majority, which is
Phariseeism personified, and repeating
itself in the old Il thank Thee that

Logan and the Southern Soldier.

In the dark days of reconstruction, we
think it was in 1866, the month of June,
three gentlemen sat on the porch of a
private clearinghouse on Michigan
avenue, Washington City. AS they sat
together in low and earnest converse
ton, an old man In worn but once re-
spectacle garments, lame and hobbling
on a crutch, paused directly in front of
the trio, and glanced searchingly in the
faces of all three. There was an ex-
preston in the upturned countenance
of the old man too readily defned-a
look of weariness-an air, in fact, of
present poverty, that could not be mis-
understood by the group.
Can / do anything for you, my
man ?" asked the senior of the trio, at
tentively regarding the stationary figure
in his front.
Il think not, SIR" was the quick re-
spouse.

inquired the first speaker.

"On what side?"
"Your side, if you are Southerner, :"
reioined the old man, leaning YEARLY
on his crutch.

man. II belonged to the other side. :"

marked the crippled stranger. Il was
about to ask you a favor, but you live
on the wrong side Of the house."

gentleman produced his pocketbook
and counted six IS bills in tue palm of
of the stranger.

Never mind that, old man. If Won

To Break up "A Sitter.

This high art is studied by men,
women and children the country over.
during the spring and early summer.
Each one has different method, and
the results vary in success according to
the common sense that enters into the
business. One says, "Duck her :"
another says, "Give her q throw" and
a third, "Iie her to a stake near the
barn walk, and scare her up every time
you pass. This last plan caps the
climax. Now, let us say right here:
Never under any consideration scare
your fowls, even should they be found
in the fiower-bed, for fowls and flowers
should be kept separate to begin with :;
and always treat your birds gently.
We never are cured of our odd ways by
any quick methods. All that is needed
is imprisonment in strange place. A
few days rest in this way does the fowl
good, and she will return to her laying
greatly benefited. Bear il mind that
this is an effort at reproduction, and this
very obstinacy marks frst-class sitter,
which you priced so highly early in the
season. Besides this, the rough treat
ment is liable to cause permanent injury,
and the disabling of even one choice
fowl will make difference in your feel
ings that outweighs all pecuniary con-
siderations, if you are fit to own a
domestic animal any kind.-Pou try
