Prof. Beal recommends to pack
celery and other vegetables in damp
moss for keeping through winter. 1t is
said that vegetables thus packed will
not only keep long time but retain
their flavor and quality so well that they
can hardly be distinguished from fresh
ones.

An appetizing hot sauce for meats
is made BY taking one can of tomatoes
and adding to it two onions chopped
fine, teaSpoonful of Cayenne pepper,
cinnamon, cloves, salt, and little nut

onions, etc., boil for ten minutes, then
take from the fire and add a large cup
ful of strong vinegar.
Oyster Stufing for Roast Turkey
Crate as much good stale bread as will
fill the turkey, and season it well with
butter rubbed into the bread; salt, pep
per and little summer savory. Moisten
it slightly with oyster liquor and add as
many oysters as you choose. Stuff the
turkey and roast it in the usual way.
Serve the thickened and strained gravy
or oyster sauce with it. A turkey weigh
ing seven or eight pounds should cook
at least three hours, and a very large
turkey should cook at least four. Basic
every five minutes.
In feeding for beef, the notions Of
each animal should be conSulted-hls
preferences, likes and dislikes. The
object of feeding usually is to get the
animal to eat all that he will digest
well; hence variety should always be
at hand, and the ration varied by feed
inc cooked, soaked, or dry meal, as the
case may be, with hay and roots. Take
great care not to oyer-feed and in case
OF overlooking. let starvation be the
cure. Thus the animal will soon take
to feeding again, but will be much less
likely 10 fall off in flesh than if phys
licked. Nature is the best physician.

FACTS AND FIGURES.

The statement is made that the
enormous sum OF S202, 100000 is invest
ed in the submarine cables of the world,
supposed to aggregate $4,000 miles IN
length
The body heat of birds is greater
than that Of any other class Of animals,
ranging from 106 deg. to il2 deg. Fahr-
enheit. Among the mammalia it is
from 95 deg. to 105 deg, varying in
adult man from 9S deg. to 100 deg.
The Isle of Man census shows that
on April the population numbered
55,492-a decrease, as compared with
1871, of $50. The number Of summer
and autumn visitors during 1871 was
about Is, 0G0; last year the number was
about 130, 900.
The new Pension Office will be one
of the most splendid buildings in Wash
ington, with a frontage OF 400 and depth
of200feet, the height OF the main corridor
being seventy-tive feet. 1t will have
10000 sIuare feet of flooring and
space for 800 clerks. Congress
enacted that the cost was not to ex-
ceed 100000.
The railroad from Eoumelia north

at about $500, ,000 On another Turkish
line Angora goat hair and meerschaum
are important items. The number of
passengers on the Roumelia line (501
miles) beyond the city line (l3I miles),
was but one seventh of the whole num-
Der, which was GIL, 1856.
From the official report of the ltal-
ian census, taken on the last day OF the
year 1881, it appears that the total pop
ulation of the peninsula is 25,452, 639,
an increase since 1871 of 1851, ,4S5;
while in that period, it is estimated
further, that fully $50, 900 Italians baTe
emigrated. The edu ational exhibit Of
&hese returns is interesting because so
encouraging. Thus, the number of per-
sons who could not read or write in 1871
was 42 per cent. of men and AZ Of wQm-

men, have decreased II per cent. anC

43,0S9 gas lamps and 429 lamps which
burn petroleum and COLA oil. There
are in addition $4,000 jets of gas in the
buildings which belong 10 the munich
paity, and the total cost of lighting
them is estimated for the year at $780,
600. An ordinary gas lamp burns
about six gallons OF gas per hour, ard
the cost for wear. suDpOsinr the gas 70
be burning for about ten hours every
night, is almost exactly 4 guineas. The
petroleum and oil lamps cost about 30
per cent. more. The gas company en-
p.oys seventy-six men in looking after
the lamps and the mains, many Of them
being tod off to inspect the meters and
the pipes in private houses, and see that
there is no escape. The lighting pow
er of the gas supplied by the company
is tested every evening in eleven bora
tories situated in different parts of the
city.

Sleep.

Blessings" exclaimed Sancho, ION
him that first invented sleep. It wraps
q man all round like. a cloak" It is a
delicious moment certairly-that of be-
ing well nestled in bed, and feeling
that you shall drop gently to sleep.
The good is to come, not past; the
limbs have been just tired enough to
render the remaining in one posture de-
lightful; the labor of the day is done.
A gentle failure of the perceptions
come creeping over one-the spirit OF
consciousness disengages itself more
and more, with slow and hushing de-
orees, like mother detaching her
hand from that Of her sleeping child;
the mind seems to have a balmy lid
closing over it like the eye; tis closing
its more closing-'tis closed. The
mysterious spirit has gone to make its
airy rounds. s.-LcigA Hunt.

Take the note in your hands! 1t is pecu-
liarly tough and c'iSp. Those qualities
are brought cut by the paper being
made entirely from new linen and cot
ton, and not from rags
'sDo you see the peculiar water
mark, or wire mark as it is called? That
is produced by 81 ecial mold used
when the paper is in pulp. DO you see
that rough edge Oh the ends? That is
called the dcck}c, and is also produced
when the paper is in Pulp. Two notes
are placed in mold when they are in
pulp and divided lengthw:tys. Hence
the top and bottom, or long edges are
always rough. This ''eckle cannot be
initiated by cutting. The paper is also
exceedingly strong. 1t is said that a
bank-note evenly adjusted will lift a
hundred pounds weight without tearing.
Do you see the difficulties forger must
overcome before he can even produce
the paper on which the note is printed?
Every process described requires
the skill of an artisan, whose high re-
enumeration keeps him from any neces-
sity Of dishonesty, and necessity makes
the majority OF thieves. Look at the
printing! Resi1es the water OF wire
work, which is beautifully regular and
intricate, plate print is Autographed
over the face OF the note Then the
type printing is done. The paper is
moistened first by atmospheric pressure,
$4,000 double notes pei dampened in
an hour.
1.-The printing ink is also made at the
Bank of England, from linseed oil and
the charred husks and vines of Rhenish
grapes. which produces impre ssions of
a peculiarly velvety black, especially
in the heavier figures. After printing,
the notes are numbered by . machine,
which, unlike man, cannot err, and
lastly are indorsed by the Secretary.
The bank-notes are printed in type on
the side of the paper that receives the
water mark, and even in the event Of
the note being split, another of the
forger's favorite tricks, the imprinted
surface would only retain a slight trace
OF the type and water marks.-Gcce-
