Kitchen and Market Garden.

It has been our constant endeavor to
induce farmers to provide an abundance
of vegetables for their family table.
While there is a great improvement in
this respect, yet farmers by no means
live up to their privileges. Especially
is this the case on the great grain
farms. The farmers table should not
only have any abundance of vegetables,
but these should be the best of their
kind. The farmers wife can do much in
selecting the seeds to be ordered, and it
is none too early to begin as soon as the
seed catalogues are ready, which is usu-
allv next month. Send to one or more
seed houses of good reputation for their
catalogues, study them carefully and Or
der early, selecting we'll tested varieties.
If "novelties" are in order, let 1t be by
way of trial, but not for the main crop.
If roots stored in trenches did not have
sufficient protection, add more litter and
more loose earth.
Manure is the key that opens the door
to success in the market garden, and is
equally so in the farm and kitchen garden.

should grow. In villages and cities stable
manure can often be bought very low,
and the teams may be proitably en-
ploycd in hauling it. Stable manure,
slaughter-house refuse, night soil, muck,
lime, sods, etc., all help to make up a
rich compost.
Those who winter cabbages and other
plants in cold frames must keep them
dormant. If the temperature rises to
thirty degrees lift the sashes. When
the plants are frozen, snow may be
left upon the sashes: but if they are
not frozen, the snow should be cleared
off.
Overhaul the implements and have all
in working order. !,
Provide boxes for starting seeds in the

HousehOId Hints.

A cup of strong coffee will remove
the odor of onions from the breath.
Take out spots from wash goods by
rubbing them with the yolk of eggs
before washing.
To beat the whites of eggs quickly,
add a pinch Of salt. Salt cools, and
cold eggs froth rapidly.
Finger marks may be removed from
vanished furniture by the use OF lit
tic sweet oil upon soft rag. Patient
rubbing with chloroform will remove
paint from black silk or any other ma
terial.
To make sausage keep its shape in
fiat cakes, after making them the size
you wish, dip them into flour; this
will effectually prevent their falling
apart.
Add to the covered brick used .as a
weight for holding a door open, a strip
of the covering sewed strongly to the
sides, and raised just enough to admit
the foot, then lift it by the toes and
save STOPPING.

varieties require special cultivation,
while the character of the soil is an i'm
portant factor also. In marketing fruit
something depends upon the mode of
shipment, while the manner of harvest
ing, and the proper time for so doing,
largely affects the keeping qualities.
Like every other pursuit, labor is neces-
sary. Preventing insect depredations
and pruning at the right moment call for
good Judgment and careful attention.

Who Invented Chess?

The Hindoos say that chess was the IN.
yention of an astronomer who f1ourished
several thousand years ago, and who was
possessed of supernatural knowledge and
acuteness. The Greeks claim that it was
the invention of Palnedos to beguile the
tedium of the siege of Troy. The Arab
legend is that it was devised for the in
struction of young despot by his tutor,
O learned Brahmin, to teach the youth
how king was dependent on his sub
iects for his safely Cincinnati En-
0uirer.

Something About Bracelets.

Bracelets have at all times been much in use
among barbaric nations, and the women fire.
quently wear several on the same arm. The
finer kinds are Of mother Of pearl, fine gold or
silver; others Of less value are made Of plated
steel, horn, brass, copper, beads, etc. This
species of personal ornament was exceedingly
common In Europe in prehistoric times. The
bracelets Of tho Bronze Age were either of
gold or bronze, silver being then unknown. In
shape they were oval and penannular with
expanding or trumpet shaped ends, having an
opening between them of about half an inch
to enable them to be easily slipped over the
wrist. Those of gold were generally plain,
but those Of bronze were often chased with
| elegant designs, showing a cultivated taste
| Some forms Of spiral armlets Of bronze, pecu-
liar to Germany and Scandinavia, covered the
whole forearm, and were doubles intended as
much for defence against sword stroke as for
ornament. The Etruscan and early Roman
forms Of bronze bracelets were for the most
part cylindrical, with overlapping ends or
spiral or serpent-shaped. There were also the
common forms in the Piso's Cure for Consump-
ton saved my life. In this vicinity all know
its merits.

Iron Age of Northern Europe, while silver
bracelets of great elegance, formed Of plated
and intertwisted strands Of silverware, and
plain penannular hoops, round or lozenge-
shaped in section and tapering to the extremi-
ties, became common towards the close Of the
pagan period. In the Middle Ages bracelets
were much less commonly used in Europe, but
the custom has continued to prevail among
Eastern nations at the present time.

What tn temperance cause has done.

Rev. Newman Hall, of London, has
beautifully said of the temperance cause:
1t is an enterprise that has fed the hungry,
&nd clothed the naked and healed the sick,
and taught the ignorant, and elevated the
degraded, and gladdened the sorrowful, and
led to the cross multitudes that had been
wandering far away; an enterprise that has
gathered again the fortune that had been
scattered, and built again the home that
had been ruined, and raised again the
character that had been blasted, and bound
up again the heart that had been broken;
an enterprise that has given peace where
was discord, and gladness where there had
been woe, that has broken open many
prison door, and restored to his right mind
many maniac; an enterprise that has pre-
vented many suicide, and that has robbed
the gallows of many a victim that would
otherwise have been there; an enterprise
thatshas thinned the work house and the
hospital, and the Jail, but that has helped
to fill the school, and the lecture room, and
the industrial exhibition; an enterprise that
has turned into useful citizens those that
were the pests of society-one of the best
educators of the masses, one of the very
chief pioneers of the Gospel, an enterprise
which is not Christ, but which is one of the
noly angels GnaG go upon HIS mlsSlOn.-
Like some fair spirit from another world,
our great enterprise has trodden the wilder
ness and flowers of beauty have sprung upon
her track. She has looked around, gladden.
ing all on whom her smiles have fallen; she
has touched the captive, and his fetters
have fallen off; she has spoken, and the
countenance of despair has been lighted up
with hope waved her magic wand, and
the wilderness has blossomed as the rose
Like the fabled orpheus, she has warbled
her song of mercy, and wild beasts, losing
their ferocity, have followed gladly and
gratefully in her train. She has raised up
those who has been worse than dead, sepul-
chered in sin, and she has led multitudes to
the living waters of salvation.

THE GROWTH OF FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
In the last sixty-six years thirteen millions
of persons born in other lands have become
a part of the population of this. At the
census of 1880 one fourth of all the adult
males in the United States were men who
by birth were aliens. In three States, one
Territory and two hundred and fifty
counties the majority of all the male resi-
dents were foreign-born. They outnumber
the native males in the great cities of New
York. Brooklyn, Chicago, st. Louis, Gin
cinnati, San Francisco, Cleveland, Buffalo,
Pittsburg, Detroit, Jersey City, Newark
and Milwaukee, or in thirteen out of the
twenty cities, which, in 1880, had one hun
dred thousand Inhabitants. In some of
these cities the preponderance of foreign
voters was very great. Thus, in New York,
of the males over twenty -one, 12S, S23 were
native and 207, ,314 were foreign-born, and
in Chicago there were 107, ,71S adult male
foreigners to 62, $50 natives. Since 1880 the
immigration has been enormous. In the
aggregate it has amounted to nearly or
quite three millions of people. 1t is impos-
sible that the presence among us of so large
an element from abroad should not produce
marked effect upon the whole current of
our social, political and industrial life.

BEAUTIFUL HELEN. ."-One of Longfel-

gift Of a pen by school girl, whom the
poet addresses as Beautiful Helen of
Maine" The pen was made of a piece of
the chain which bound the prisoner of
Chillon, and fragment of the frigate Con-
stitution, while precious stones from Ceylon,
Siberia and Maine were inset. The "Beauti-
full Helen" is the daughter of DIR. A. @.
Hamlin, now prominent on the list of can
didates for the Maine Governorship. On
her mothers side the young lady is grand
daughter of the late Judge Cutting, of the
Maine Supreme Court.
