The Coming Great Novelist.

There is one young lady in this city,
says the Waterbury american, who
has all the making of good metro
politan newspaper correspondent. She
is only about Years old now and has
ii chance to develop. The other day
she went to her school teacher, CRYING
bitterly, and said she must 90 home
as her brother was dead.
when did he die?" asked the tcach-
er.
Last night" stammered the child
between her tears. He was only ,
years old. Last night he started to
follow papa to the barn. When papa
came in at o'clock we asked where
baby was, and he said he hadn't seen
HIM" Here the sobS drowned her
words for awhile. Then the tot con-
tinued: I'VE Went right out to search
then, and this morning we found him
in the woods with his legs almost eaten
off"
Thoughts that Barnum's animals
had come up the valley filled the
teachers mind, and she was almost
sickencd rs the child went on with
the narrowing details. "What did
you do?" she asked at length.
Called the doctor, but it was no
use; baby died"
The teacher then called the child's
older sister from Il neignbOrIng school
room; child denied the story in
toto. The teacher had previously de-
tected glowing Imagination in the
tot, whom she now ordered to her
seat.

How to Cook Hams,

A lady correspondent of the German
town Telegraph, gives her experience as
follows. She says:
| have learned much in the half dozen
years since l have assumed the response
bility of being my own house keeper, as
to the best mode of boiling ham. l knew
very well, that it was spelling good ham
ever to fry it when it can be broiled.
But found that there were ways of boil
ing a whole ham, so as to ruin il; and
this is the way how now boil it: If it be
a Maryland or Virginia ham, or any one
rather old or hard, it should be soaked
over night in plenty of water, then put
into a suitable cooking pot of cold water,
which should be raised to q gentle boil,
or rather simmer, and this should be con-
tinued for fifteen minutes for every pound
weight of the ham. Then take out, re-
move skin, and dust over it plentifully of
bread crumbs, and set in the oven to bake
from fifteen to thirty minutes. A ham
cooked in this way should be very tender
and juicy and OF fine flavor, provided it
was originally good. l know very we'll
that if once tried it Will be always tried

How to Winter Root Crops.

OF the root crops, about the only ones,
perhaps, which can stand northern
winter without in Jury are the parsni p and
vegetable oyster or satisfy. Either of
these may be left in the ground until
spring, except what is likely to be want
ed in the middle of winter. For this
purpose portion should be taken care
of IN the same way as carrots, beets and
turnips. A cold cellar, where it does not
freeze, is ne eded to house these, though
few degrees of cold will do no less in
Jury than the other extreme of too much
heat. 1t may be accepted as an axiom
in winter storage that no root crop is ben
Gifted by air or light. Their natural
place is below ground, and from this
condition, when the season favors, they
come forth crisp and tasty. Our win
tiers forbid the keeping out side; what is
wanted is an imitation of natural posi-
ton.
Soue keep in bins, some in barrels:
either answers better than if they are
left exposed on q floor or bench. Tur-
nips are of similar nature, and like re-
quirements answer. Jerusalem arti-
chokes are hardy and may stay out with
out injury. Seets are quite tender; cab
hsge may be stored outside, but should
be laid close together, with sell thrown
over the heads. Farther south the Ger
man greens will stand all winter; here
they will not. Carrots are about the
same as beets. Celery is packed closely
together, in beds of two or more rows,
covered With soil, and on this again litter
is thrown, so the plants can be reached at
any time. A portion may be pack ed in
the soil in the cellar for present use. 1t
is rarely so crisp, however, as when taken
from the ground. Celeriac, or turnip
rooted celery. should be treated as other
root crops; nohlrabi or turnip rooted
cabbage, the same vay, but best If roots
are laid in the soil in the cellar. Onions
should be kept dry in garrets, though
heat will not injure them like other
crops; very heavy freezing will not hurt
them; slight, will not Potatoes are
seriously injured BIZ air and light; 8 cool,
dark place is best: the old fashioned pit
out of doors gave good results. Squash
and pumpkin. must not freeze, and dry
place is best. Winter radi.hes go with
root crops Sweet potatoes are a south
srn product, and can be kept only when
the heat is steady at or somewhere above
55 degrees Prairie Farmer.
