Atlantic Monthly.

Among the many interesting articles in The
Atlantic Monthly for November, "Some Testi-
mony in the Case" Rebecca Harding Davis's
contribution to the literature Of the negro prob
lem" will especially appeal to the reader. The
writet has taken testimony Of Southerners of all
classes in regard to the condition and prospects
OF the race, and from these varying reports she
draws important differences. The impressment
Of sailors is entertainingly written about by Ed
ward Stauwood under the title of "An Old-Time
Grievance" Two thoughtful and scholarly ar
ticles, one on "The Idea of God" by John Fiske,
the other on Principles Of Criticism" by Z. X.
Sill form the more solid papers of the number.
"Thackery as an Art-Critic" contains some
account Of the great novelst's early notes on
pictures; and Mrs. Miller has pretty bird
sketch, called "a Tricksy Spirit" As for thu
serials by Henry James, Mrs. Oliphant, and DR..
Holmes, they maintain their interest, and one at
least OF the stories has startling development.
An old Algonquin legand is the motif of Chow
Glooskap brought the Summer" by Frances l..
Mace; and there is more good poetry by Andrew
Hedbrooke and Paul Hermes. The Contribu-
tors Club considers Gan American Pantheon"
provincial influence in Literature" and 'rhe
Secrets Of Authorship" and survey of recent
illustrated volumes and the usual "Books of the
Month" complete an entertaining, readable, and
very valuable number. Houghton, Miffn & Co.,

Hints for Marketing.

Good beef, when fresh has a fine grain and is
of vermillion color, with slight tint of purple
on the cut surface. 1t is firm but tender to the
touch and is so elastic that no mark is left after
pressure of the finger. The fat is yellowsh white,
like fresh butter, and firm. Sometimes the lean
is slightly yeined with fat, but it must have no
favor of suet. The surface must be quite dry
when cut, scarcely moistening the finger If a
clean knife be pushed up to the handle in tho
meat, the resistance will be uniform, il it be
fresh, but if some of the parts are softer than
is lean, coarse and sinewy looking, it is old and
tough. Cow beef is coarse looking, and has
white fat.
Mutton and lamb should have a fine grain.
The lean shonld be bright and evenly tinted and
the fat perfectly white. In mutton the lean is
pale and red. In hanging mutton, if it be hung
with the cut part up, instead OF down as usual
the juices will be far better preserved.
Pork. when fresh and young, is smooth and
uniform color and the fat white and not at all
streaked. Sailed corn-fed pork has pinksh fat.
good test for ham is to run knife under the
bone; if it comes out clean and smells pleasantly
the ham is good.
In choosing fish see that the gills are brigh,
pink the fins stiff and eyes clear and full; the
scales and skin must be bright. HOLSTERS must
be chosen by their weight compared with
their size. When fresh the tail of lobster will
quickly spring back into position after it i.
Strengthened. A medium sized lobster, with
narrow tail and heavy for its size, will be found
to be choice. In buying part Of large fish its
freshness may be known by the blush tnge OF
the flesh and the iridescence Of the cut part. l,
is not fresh il the flesh be yellow Flat fish, as
a rule, keep better than round should be chosen
for their thickness rather than for their size.

POETRY.
Tho Drummer.

OF all the professions e'er followed by man,
From the raising of Cain where Adam began
For checkers and changes, anxiety. strife,
There's nothing compares with the travelling man 5
life.
The modern drummer is readily known,
For he has a peculiar style of his own
In presenting his card and dropping his grip,
Unless, perchance. he is on his first trip.
The new drummer is very important and wise,
And glasses he wears for his customers eyes
He is out on a trial for one-trip term,
Hut cons iders himself the head OF the firm.
But the drummer learns rs he grows more old,
That he doesn't handle all goods that are sold
When fully convinced Of the state of affairs,
He increases his sales by decreasing his airs.
There great disappontncnts that come in the way
of the travelling Of the modern day,
And many insulting thrusts there made,
But he chokcs them down for She sake Of his trade
If all the drummers should die in night,
rrwoud leave this country in a terrible plight;
Our passenger would rust ON the rail,
And hotel buancss would he dead as a nail.
Thus fancy might run and more things be said,
But we've positive proof that the drunmer's moi
dead
In spending hour in a customers store
| was introduced to dozen or more.
No, they living and moving, I'm happy to say
And jolly good fellow they are, by the way;
Have smile for the boys when they call at youi
store,
And give them kind greeting if you do nothing

Household Conveniences.

Holly Hust writes as follows to
the Indiana Farmer:
l keep a little broom to clean the
kettles, spiders, sauce pans, etc. 1t
saves times, does better work and
saves the hands. The little broom
helps III this way. You can scrub
around the ears of a kettle with it
and hot suds soon made the sauce
pan shine. Try it. The same little
broom does duty az a vegetable
cleaner. 1t washes the turnips and
potatoes quite clean and much quick
er than the hands; and how one does
hate to handle dirty vegetables
Just try it! After the clothes are
brought in from the line and ready
for sprinkling, a clean little broom
kept solely for the purpose is dipped
in the water and sprinkles the
clothes quite as well as a Chinese
laundryman can spray the water
through his teeth, and it seems ever
so much cleaner, too. Then the
wash-tubs, wringer and wash board
are kept in order with almost no la
Dor at abby having a little broom
handy to scIu' them off with.
Pantry shelves, kitchen sink and
table are cleaned with a broom.
Even the kitchen windows, in fly
time. are washed down first with the
inevitable little broom, which cleans
the corners of the sashes i'll less
than half the necessary to accom-
plish the work without its help.
Backing the stove is no longer
dreaded. A little broom puts on
the black and does all the polish
necessary and saves the hands.

A Point in Stock Raising.

The conclusions which the stock
raiser draws from conditions affect
ing his business must, if they contri-
butte to his profit, be direct and
practical. His is not calling which
will permit a liberal indulgence in
the far. fetched and fanciful. There
is a straight road from certain cause
to certain ends, and it will not do to
fool along in uneXplored paths. If
good wool is wanted, the direct way
to produce it to buy, breed and raise
sheep whose wool is of the kind de-
sired;-not try toconvcrt the bearers
of mean tleeces into bearers of Il
choice article. If extra draught
strength in Il horse is wanted it
must be secured in draught blood
not in attempting TO harden the
muscles and increase the weight
and momentum OF the graceful
thoroughbred.
There is no use wasting time and
money in trying to do something
which cannot be done, or in trying
to adapt one thing to something else
to which it is altogether unsuited.
There lisa sufficient variety of breeds
to furnish any speciality which one
may desire, without attempting to
turn a breed well adapted to other
purposes in a direction in which it
will not 60 and never was intended
to go. Certain breeds Of cattle run
to milk, others to butter, others to
beef-each excelling in its line. If
you care for nothing except that it
excel in your specially, by all means
buy and handle that kind. Ii you
prefer a good average in all of these,
without special excellence, buy ac-
cordingly. The same idea is apple
able to all kinds of stock.
In these days the man who fires
his charge into the air without effect
has no one to blame but himself.
Times and business conditions are
full of pointers for guiding his aim.
Breeding and stock raising need not
be without both well defined pur-
pose and positive results. With his
Judgment trained by study and re-
Election every industrious stock rails
err ought to succeed.-National

The culture of hemp suffers from
the competition of substitutes. From
IS 600 tons, in 1850, our annual pro
duct has fallen to 5000 tons in 1884
Foreign jute has almost entirely
driven ont American hemp from: the
manufacture of cotton bagging.
The cause for this is the enormous
disparity between the cost of labor
in Asia, where jute is grown and
| repaired. and it does not seem prob
able that the transfer of the indus
try from America to Asia can be ar
rested until some suitable machin-
cry for preparing homegrown fibre
at a less cost than that of the for
eign grown stalk shall be brought
into use.
