"A high authority in cooking re-
commends that when baking a Custard
you should set the basin or pudding
dish containing it into another dish filled

The Massachusetts PlougbD1aR says;
"When a tree becomes covered with
moss it should be scraped of, because,
if left to any extent, it sucks the life OF
Che tree, and thus checks its growth.
After the tree that has moss on it is
scraped, it should be well washed with
a solution OF soap and water strong
enough to kill the moss"
An extremely poor horse is usually
a miserable one, but it is questionable
whether it is any more so than an eX-
tremely fat one. Especially is this true
where the animal is required to per.
form any amount of hard labor While
horses need good, wholesome food, il
should not be all of the fat-producing
kinds. The matter of feeding horses
by the majority of horse owners never
receives the attention it should The
supply of food and the different kinds
should be varied as often as the amount
and kinds of work are changed. ed.-NeJL

An Unsuitable Laud-Grabber.

'Do you see that old fellow sitting
across there with q linen duster OnP"
said q guest of the Grand Pacific last
evening, pointing to an elderly in
dividual who was reclining on one of
the sofas in the lobby "He is the most
uncOnsciOnable land grabber in Amerj-
ca. He and l came in together from
st. Paul to-day, and he told me all
about it. He went up to Dakota three
wears ago from York State, and after
looking the country over he made up
his mind that it was a good place to
settle. Land was to be had cheap by
pre-emption, and what do you suppose
the old cuss didP He was unmarried,
and had no one but himself in all the
world. He went back East and mar
ried a widow, who had one widowed
and three old maid daughters, and
brought them all out here. Then the
old man entered a claim, and the
daughters, four of them. all entered
claims alongside. So there you have
it. The old man practically owns 800
acres of good land. He built the girls
shanties on their claims, and they live
in them enough to satisfy the law, but
the whole thing is done under the su-
perintendence Of the old man, who is
an old reprobate, 1 fear. asked him
if the widow he married was good
looking and amiable and he replied:
go, no; l can't say she is would
a heap rather have taken one of the
girls, and I may yet, when the old
woman is gone, but business is busi-
ness, and the only way 1 could get the
whole family was to take the mother
first. ~ Chicago Herald.

A Queer Fish-POnd.

On top of the Record building, ninety
feet from the ground, is a water-tank
with a capacity of $4,000 gallons. 1t
was never thought Of as asource of fish
supply, but a recent discovery has sug-
gested almost unlimited possibilities in
that direction. On last Friday the en-
gineer had occasion to clean out the
tank, when he was amazed to find in
one of his buckets a squirming ell, nine
inches long and of fair proportions. In
few minutes he found other fish in his
buckets, a catfish four inches long, and
more eels, until he had fair collection,
which he carefully preserved. A fishing
pond nearly hundred feet above the
ground is q novel affair, and this singu-
lar ''catch'' from the RccOrG', roof has
provoked a great deal of curiosity and
speculation. The water is pumped into
the tank from the water main on Chest
nut street, coming into the three-inch
pipe of the Record through an inch con-
Meeting pipe 1t then passes to the
force pumU and is forced 100 feet into
the tank above through a three-inch pipe.
The fish probably came from the
Schuylkill while very young and small,
and found their devious ways to the
tank, where they grew up. What they
fed upon is a mystery, and the proof
reader, who usually spends five hours
evere week in batting his hook for Wis
sahickon catfish, will now look for
mountain trout on the RsorfB r0Ot-
PhiLudsLphiG Record.

Taylor County, Georgia, can pro-
duce a negro man who has been stone
blind for thirty-one years, yet has al
ways been able, with the assistance OF
his wife, to make a decent living for
themselves and a large family of chill
drcn. His name is Ben Caldwell, and
a more industrious negro can not be
found in the county. A number Of
farmers will testify to the fact that Ben
can pick $50 pounds of cotton per day,
and with the assistance of his two little
boys he can tie into bundles all the
grain of any kind that three "cradlers"
can cut, as fast as it falls from their era
die. He can cut wood, split rails, and
do most any kind Of farm work. One
of the most remarkable features of his
character is that he never forgets a
voice after once catching its sound, and
is enabled to call most any person by
name with whom he is acquainted. -

STONES IN The KIDNEY

Expelled by the Use Of DR.. David Kenne-
dy's Favorite Remedy (of Rondout, N.
Y.)-after Several Able Physicians had
Failed, and the Patient was Nearly
Ready to Abandon Hope-The Substance
of a Long and Grateful Letter.
One Of the most remarkable cases that
has ever been brought to the notice Of the
public is that of Mr.. J. S. Beach, of Stone
Ridge, Ulster Co., N. Y. Mr.. Beach had
suffered since October 18th, 1874, from the
pre5ence of Calculus or Stone in the right
Kidney. No less than seven physicians
were employed at different times, to whom
Mr., Beach paid hundreds Of dollars for
medical treatment, with only temporary
relief.
By the urgent solicitations of his friends
he was induced to try DIR. DAVID
KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY.
He experienced a marked Improvement
from the tirst day he began to use the
medicine: on the 18th of September he
voided a stone as large as could be passed
through the natural channel.
Mr.. Beach concludes a long letter TO DR..
Kennedy by saying; 1t will always af
ford me pleasure to recommend the FA,
NORlTE REMEDY to those who may be
suffering from difficulties of the Kidneys
and Bladder, or any disorders arising from
an impure state Of the blood"

ALL weakness and i'll health owes it's
origin to an impure state Of the blood and

these organs, and at the same time purify
the blood, will assist nature in curing
nearly every disease that human flesh and
blood is heir to. Such a remedy is DR..

You advise placing Allcocb's Porous Plas-
ters, in dyspepsia, on the pit of the stom.
ach; in ague-cale, on the spleen; in torpid
liver, over that organ; but 1 really think
you should also recommend that one
or two Plasters be put over the kidneys.
They stimulate, strengthen and act as pow
erful diuretics, thus casting out many
poisonous acids and salts. Ihave had fever
and ague; all remedies Itook produced lit
tie or no effect until l put an Allcock's
Porous Plaster over each kidney; their
action being more than doubled, the ma
laria was quickly washed away. have
also had several attacks of rheumatism
and two Of gout, and by applying the
Plasters over the local pain, and also over
the kidneys, 1 again found your Plasters
wonderfully efficacious. H. K. THoMAE.

Religion on the Congo.

When the missionary holds a Sunday
service in King KongO -Mpaka's house,
some twenty or thirty idlers look in, in
a genial way, to see what is going on,
much as we might be present at any OF
their ceremonies. They behave very
well, and initiate, with that exact MINI
icry which only the negro possesses, all
our gestures and actions, so chat a hasty
observer would conclude they were
really touched by the service. They
kneel down with an abandon of deVo-
ton, clasp theirhands, and say "Amen"
with a deep ventral enthusiasm. The
missionary. on the occasion that I ac-
oompauied him, gave a short sermon in
Fiote, well expressed, considering the
little time he had been studying the
language The King constantly took
up Che end OF some phrase and repeated
it with paUonizing interest after the
missionary, just to show how he was
attending, throwing meanwhile afUtive
glance at his wives, who were not pur-
suing their avOcatiOns outside with suf-
ficient diligence. A short prayer con-
cluded the service, and when the King
rose from his knees he promptly de
manded the loan of g hand-sereW to
effect some alteration i'm his new canoe.
