HOME AND FARM.

From the best information available Farm and FTreSide concludes that any of the incubators will hatch eggs-''if you sit by them day and night and don't sleep too long at time."
 -Horseradish Sauce: Crate foui ounces of horseradish, to which add four ounces of bread crumbs and press through sieve Add glass of cream, pinch of salt, tablespoonful of vine- gar; mix all we'll together and serve.- M r. Herald.
 -Poached Eggs: Put in a flat sauce pan three pints of water, tablespoon ful of vinegar and two pinches of salt When the water boils break your eggs into it and let them poach two or three minutes. Lift them out with skinner and serve each egg on toast.-E1ctdnge.
 The mule is useful on the farm, and more use could be made of these hardy animals to advantage. Especially are they well adapted to the blow, and for use in clearings and for use in new ground, where it is dangerous to us the more delicate horse.-San Francisco Chronicle.
 A danger to be avoided in keeping fowls is overcrowding. Too many, after building house of proper dimensions for the first lot, neglect to enlarge the quarters as they enlarge the flock. Where the extensive business is carried on the fowls should be separated in small fiocks; they will not do their best until thisis done.-ChicagO Tribune.
 -Pickled Ham: This is country delicacy. It should be small, pigs ham and sugar-cured, but not smoked. Simmer for three hours, then take of the skin, stick in few cloves and bake for half an hour, basting it frequently with brown sugar dissolved in cider. Ii will be found delicious, something be- tween ham and roast pork. Good House teeping.
 Fried Onions: Having peeled the onions, cut them in rings and throw them into enough very hot fat in the frying-pan to float them. If the fat is kept at the right heat the onions will not require much attention while cook ing. As soon as they are golden brown take them out of the pan with skim mer and throw them on to paper to ab- sorb the grease.-B0ston Budget.
 Flashed Beef: Take two pounds oi cold beef, free from sinew, and bone and chop it up well. Peel and cut in pieces two onions and put them in a frying pan with two ounces of butter. When beginning to color very lightly add your beef, little salt, pepper and nutm eg and pinch of thyme. Toss altogether on the fire ten minutes. Just before serving sprinkle little chopped parsley over the top of your hash.-The House hold.
 It frequently happens that, from long neglect, plate becomes so stained and spotted that it can not be immedi- ately restored by any of the plate-pow- ders. Whenever this occurs, mix one part of sal ammoniac with sixteen parts of vinegar. Rub the stains or spots gently with the mixture; they will soon disappear. The plate should then be we'll washed in soap and water.-Farm and Home.

 In an unguarded moment gave this accommodating gentleman my address. In day or two he called to see me. He repeated the story without invitation and substantially as he had first told it. In a fortnight he called again. He talked about the weather, and then suddenly catching sight of a picture of Flora Temple on the wall was reminded of his favorite object, he retold it. I took occasion the next day to inquire con- cerning the mans veracity, and found his reputation for truth was good; that he had lived in Southwark just the length of time he said he had lived there, and was very generally respected. The only thing found against him was that he was a great talker When I in- quired about his knowledge of the existence of the horse-headed girl, ] found no less than nine people who had the story from his own lips, and of the nine seven believed it implicitly. These seven spread the tale about, and I verify believe that it passed from one mouth to another until it reached as far north as Port Richmond, for there are people in that part of the town who never lived south of Girard avenue who have the story pat.-PhilGdelphiG NeoCS.

THE CANDLE FISH.
How the Natives of the Northwestern
 Coast of America Obtain Light.

How the Natives of the Northwestern
 Coast of America Obtain Light.
 People do not get candles from water, as rule, I believe, but nevertheless there was time when men were in- debted to the ocean for much of the light that made their homes pleasant at night. The best candles and oil of your fore fathers time came from whales. There is, however, very remarkable light giver, which is nothing more nor less than small fish. This fish is so very oily that all you have to do, after it has departed this life, is to fasten it by its tail between two pieces of wood, touch a match to its head, and pale flame will arise from the tish's mouth that lasts until, like a candle, the fish is slowly consumed.
 The useful fish, moreover, is a very important one to the people living on the northwestern coast of North Amer ica. At certain seasons the candle-fishes swarm the bays and rivers in vast num- bers, and every native man, woman and child is engaged in capturing them. And how do you suppose they catch them? They actually comb them in. The boats drive them in ashore, where each native armed with a gigantic weap- on with teeth eight inches long, sweeps or combs them up by the hundred.
 When the boats are loaded full, the fish are carried ashore, where women and children take charge of them. Af ter being dried and smoked, they are ready for candles. They are also used as food, and in that case the oil is tried out and put away for winter use.-St Nicholds.

A NOBLE DOG.

Birmingham (Ala.) Age.I
 J. E. Walter, the master of train services of the Louisville 6 Nashville railroad, has dog he values highly. The dog is New foundland, and has been raised by his owner from small puppy. MT. Walter has little girl who is fond of the animal, and the affection between the two is inter- esting A few mornings since the little girl was left in the room alone by large fire in the grate. She went too near the blaze and the dog opened the door and en- tered. He went to her and began to pull her away by catching her clothing in his teeth. The two companions played about the room for some time, until the little girl grew tired and sleepy. She went too near the fire again, and the dog could not get her away. He pulled at her clothes for some time, but could not arouse her. He then hurried to her mothers room and began to act strangely by rubbing against her hand and catching her dress, pulling her toward the door. She caressed him and told him to go away and find little Nellie. He made strange whining noise with his mouth, and then slowly walked back to where the little one was sleeping. The fire was growing hotter and the little one was sleeping, unconscious of her great danger. The dog made another attempt to arouse her and failed. He then crouched down beside her, between her and the fire, taking care to protect her well. Mrs. Walter entered the room a few minutes later and found the noble dog in this posi-. ton whining and crying, while the hair was being singed from his back. Little Nellie was sleeping sweetly.

 An interesting discovery is reported from Faversham, Kent, England In the course of some excavations for brick earth in Kings Field, near that town, a collection of old coins and other valu- able relics was discovered. Among the articles are two large gold pendants, one of which is set with garnets, buckle set with stones, a quantity of beads, quartz, a ring and sword. Similar discoveries have been made in the same field on previous occasions during excavations.

Oh, I declare, I was per- fectly dumb, and felt like fool. 1 could not for the life of me tbink of anything to say.
