Domestic Economy In Colleges.

In my Judgment no institution of
learning that is obliged to leave the
instruction of pupils in domestic
economy to their parents is full
abreast the advanced thought of our
progressive age or is thoroughly
equipped for supplying the practical
educational requirements of the Nine
tenth Century. [hope to live to see
the day when Wellesley anu Smith and
Vassar and every other college for
women in the country will give as
thorough a course of instruction in
domestic economy as they give in
any other branch o~feducation. That
day, [ venture to predict, is not far
distant.-From a Lecture by Mrs.
Emma P. Ewing, of Purdue Univer-
sity.

Plants In Pots

The Injunction said to have been
laid on the dauphin by n of the
Louises of France, applies to house
plants: "My son, you must seem to
love your people," "But, sire, how
shall | seem to love them?" "My son
you must love them"
But this tender regard must be
wisely directed. For example: 1t is
well understood that plants in pots
need water; but they may easily have
too much water; which is sure to do
harm; but the harm will be much les
sened if there is sufficient drainage.
The pieces of broken pots in the bot
tom should never be omitted. With
out proper drainage the soil becomes
sour, the plants become sour, the
plants languish and the leaves be-
come yellowish. The only remedy
then is to report, shaking out as much
of the soil as possible from among
the roots, and using fresh soil, old,
w~ell-rotted manure, and sharp sand,
about equal parts, will answer well.
After reporting and watering, the
plant should beshakenfor a few days.
In a general way, too little wateris
better than too much. The dropping
leaves indicating drouth, are easier
remedied than the yellow leaves, the
result of having been kept too wet.-

A Marine Battle,
From the San Francisco Examiner.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
The whaling bark Josephine has
returned from the Japanese sea.
While fishing there she had an un-
usual adventure. During the month
of October the vessel, under COM
mand of Captain Horace Smith, saw
a terrible struggle in the waters not
more than 200 yards away. Two
boats were manned, one by the first
and the other by the third mate.
They were launched and made for
the scene of the disturbance. An
ocean battle was going on. Acouple
OF killers were tearing a bumped. back

around was crimsoned with blood. 1t
was apparent that two monsters
we're attacking a whale. The boat
men fired their harpoons and sue
ceeded in sticking both of the mon

to the side of the bark.
The whale had been killed, but the
carcass "a of no use in consequence
Of the species of the animal and no
attempt was made to ecove it.
Twelve barrels ofgood oil were got
out of the killers and the head of one
was brought to this part and pres

savage-looking worries numbering

About Tin Coffee Pots.

A worker in tin was asked if tin
coffee-pots were h%ealthfulto use. He
thought pure tin was pure as silver
could be, and would wear as long.
''They put the tin on Russia iron,"
said he. "The way it is done is to
take a sheet of Russia iron and dip
it into tin red hot.
Upon the surface of the tin floats
staflow. As the tin is drawn out it
passes through this. The tallow
cleans the tin and gives it lustre. If
it was not for the tallow, the tin
would be all full of little punches.
We find our tin greasy when we get
it; this comes from the tailow.
This Russia iron is of tie same ma
terial as a stove body. fhisis triple

Down East Pumpkin PfA

A family who had migrated to
town from way Down East secured
my valuable services as ''help' one
winter my knowledge thereby gained
of real old-fashioned cooking has
''helped" me since I'M hundred ways.
We used pumpkins-the real Jack-o-
lantern kind-and prepared enough
to last several weeks. This will
keep well in the modern glass can
with frequent scalding in a hot bath.
We had to dry it if it ''got ahead" of
us. We made only one or two pies
at a time, as they should be eaten hot
from the oven like pudding. Chop
the vegetable in sections-peel
it if you can-and boil all day,
stirring often till it is dry and
brown. 1 used to stew it till
soft, and then peel it and replace
in the kettle to finish. For
one large or two small modern pies
allow three cooking s~poonfuls, heap
ing, of hot pumpkin, II spoonful of
ginger, q little salt, one spoonful of
ana One-naII cuplul OF
brown, or a little more of crushed
maple sugar, one tablespoonful of
-four stirred smooth in a little milk.
Beat this all together well till light.
Add gradually X pints of boiling
milk. We couldn't have all the
cream or butter we wanted, as it
was war time, but the pies will bear
all of either you dare to use. Better
use plates enough. They II not
good if filed too thick, like q squash
pie, as they require Il brisk baking to
make them light-a slow oven ruins
them. When they raise up in the
middle, they are done. Carrots were
sometimes used in the same fashion
in that far-away "East-ward."- A

l,o ms /. Wood Worker.

Carpentry was the trade of the Ameri-
can Observation-Disclosures and mound
builders. MI. III. L. Mcleod, of the
Smithsonian institution, states that the
tent poles of the Sioux Indians even
now show pretty specimens of work,
and the Moqui Indians, since long be-
fore the landing of Columbus, have
known how TO mortise timber, to make
ladders, and to swing doors on hinges
from the top. The chisel they push
rather than hammer, and they work the
board up md down on a fixed saw, but
the results are creditable. The AZtecs
made n good glass, which they used for
their best cutting blades, swords, dag
gers, spears, saws, chisels and axes.
They sharpened these by cleaying off
the dull edge.

MIR. CiaYer,. Lucky Draw.

Murray Nowa) News, Nov. ID.
Having interviewed Mr.. John Il. Cla-
yer in regard to his reported lucky draw
in the Louisiana State Lottery, We find
that lie held one-twentieth of ticket No.
&c, 755, which drew the first capital prize
of $500, 600 in the company's drawing
on the 9th of October last, and that he
has received his money-$15 ,0OO-on
the same. Mr.. Claver's ticket cost him
one dollar, and was the first and only
money he had ever invested in that
way.
By an agreement with MI. William
Foster of this place, who also held q
ticket in the institution, that if either
of their tickets drew a prize they would
divide equally, Mr.. Foster receives one
half the amount.
Mr.. Claver and Mr.. Foster are both
well respected citizens of this vicinity,
and whatever may be said pro or o of
the Lottery itself, this amount of money
will elevate them from moderate to we'll
TODD circumstances, and it is to be
hoped that it will be invested in a way
that will give it circulation in this city
and community.

JUST THE THING.

In warm climate like this, where
ones underclothes stick to fellow
like porous plaster and pretty gen
orally burst or give way when ath-
letic attitudes are taken, garments
which allow the greatest freedom
and ease of motion are needed. Mr..
M. Goldberg, being alive to the
above fact, has imported sample
lot of jean, nainsook, linen and Can
ton flannel patent elastic seam draw
ers. The seams only of these draw
ers are elastic, and. though they
contain no rubber, their elasticity
wears longer than other portions of
the garment. These elastic, seam
drawers conform to the position of
the wearer without strain, no matter
what attitude the body assumes, and
for comfort, especially in walking,
they are excellent.
