How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases-backs, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit Of all
kinds of chasing, engraving. and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and solidity, while
the vritxen guarantee of the manufacturers
varranting each case to wear t'oenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many Of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by years of use without wearing through
the gold. DUBUQUE, L., Dec. IA. 1880. 3

Actors In London.

lEIOm LOndOn Paper.J
Never before, perhaps, in modern
times has the world rewarded those
who amuse it VITA such social and
material consideration as now. There
are members of the theatrical and
musical professions whose income ex-
ceeds that of the heads of the church,
the law, or the army, and the average
actor draws salary larger than the in
come of the average member of any of
the learned professions. In London
especially he lives luxuriously, has his
club, moves in high circles, drivs his
own phaeton, and, if he has performed
amilitary part, sticks cookade in his
servants hat. -Four or five actresses
have, within the last two years, married
noblemen or noblemen presumptive,
and there can no longer be doubt OF
the stage having lived down "the re-
buke and reproach under which it for
merly covered" and London society
is ready to receive an actor or actress,
If only we'll talked about, without re-
gard to any rumor of scandal, which
would be fatal to the pretensions of a
member of any other profession.

Hints for the Home.

Rose water is a peculiar flavor for
sponge cake, but it is highly recon-
mended, especially if the cake is to be
served with ices.
A HANDSOME low screen is made by
painting large cardboard q sky-blue,
then painting spray of daisies and
clover blossoms on it. Then set this in
a frame of plush about an inch and a
half wide, and this is to be placed in a
light ebony frame with a standard.
OLD.FAsH1oNED natural flowers are
being revived with old-fashioned furni-
ture and dresses, and artificial flowers
have become ostracized for corsage
punches of these old-time beauties hav
ing taken their place. Sweet peas, core
opsis, monkshood, marigolds, and all
flowers from grandmother garden small
enough to be available, are now treas
ured by the florists.
A VERY pretty lambrequin for shelf
is made Of dark felt, with squares of
plush or of velvet put on at regular in
tervals. On the edge, which is straight,
brass crescents are placed with small
tassels tied into them. This shelf can
be still further ornamented by placing
on it three Japanese mats with half of
the round mat on the shelf and half
hanging over. Put one mai on each
end and one in the center.
BAKED cucumbers are a novelty on
most tables. Take large ones, pare
them, and with a pointed spoon scoop
out the seeds. Mix the seeds with a
little cold ham, either boiled or fried,
and few bread crumbs; season with a
little salt, pepper, and little bit of
onion, and moisten with Worcestershire
sauce. Fill the cucumbers with this
put them into an earthen dish, and,
bake them, basting them with gravy, or
with butter and water.
THIS receipt for ginger-cake comes
from an English cook noted for the ex-
cellence of her work. Put one pound
of butter into one pound of -four; add a
half pound of finely powdered sugar,
the rind of lemon grated, two table
spoonfuls of ground ginger, and one
nutmeg. Mix them together then heat
one gill of sweet milk, or warm it rather,
stir into it half teaspoonful of bi.car-
Donate of soda. Roll out, cut in square
cakes, and bake in moderate oven.

THE DEVIL.
BY ALFRED ]. HouaH.

en- don't believe in devil now as their fathers
They've forced the door of the broadest creed to
let his Majesty through.
There 1sn'ta print Of his cloven foot or q fiery
dart from his bow "a,
10 be found on earth OF air to-day, for the
has voted so. &
But who is it mixing the fatal draught that pal
sizes heart and brain, = -
And loads the bier Of each passing year with ten
hundred thousand slain?
Who blights the bloom of the land to-day with
fiery breath of hell,
If the devil isn't and never was? Won't some
body rise and tell?
Who dogs the steps of the toiling saint and digs
the pit for his feet?
Who sOws the tares In the field of time wherever
God sOWs his wheat?
The devil is voted not to be, and of course the
thing is true;
But who is doing the kind of work the devil
alone should do?
We are told he doesn't go about as roaring lion
now,
But whom shall we hold responsible for the ever
lasting row
To be heard in church, in home and state, to
earth's remotest bound,
IT the devil by unanimous vote is nowhere to be
found.
Won't somebody step to the front forthwith and
make their bow, and show
How the frauds and crimes of single day spring
up? We want to know.
The devil was fairly voted out, and of course the
DEVILS gone;
simple people would like to know who car.
ries his business on.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOME.
Life on the Farm.
BY CARRIE e. PETERMAN.

BY CARRIE H. PETEkMANs
We envy the rich old banker,
We envy the millionaire;
There are lots of people we envy,
We can find them everywhere;
We envy the rich mans daughter
Her easy and luxurious life,
But we rarely find any one foolish enough
To envy the farmers wife.
They may talk If they like of the pleasure
And ease that the tanner enjoys,
Of the comfort he takes in the knowledge
And strength of his girls and boys,
But I'll wager not one of the poets
That sing of the farmers life -..
Would accept for the period of half month
The position of farmers wife.
It's all very well to be praising
The beauties Oflife on the farm.
There are plenty of cranky poets
But they do little good or harm.
For we all of us know, that have tried 1t,
There Is plenty of toll and strife,
Oftrouble and care for the farmer
AS well as his Overworked wife.
OF course there are joys and comforts
Intermixed with the trouble and care.
If there wasn't little pleasure
think 'twould be hardly fair.
But you'll find, if you care to observe 1t,
That what have told you Is true;
Although there ispleasure in life on the farm,
There is plenty of trouble, too.

Surprising Yield of Barley.

The Spirit Lake (Ia.) Journal says {:
20. r. Ellis reports a surprising yield
of barley. In addition to this he fed in
the bundle to his hogs some thirty or
forty bushels. From a small patch of
oats which he sowed for feed, and OK.
pected not moro than 400 bushels, he
got $40. And so it goes all over this
(Dickinson) county.
