DANGEROUS WORK.
Poor Folks who Go Cleaning on the New
York wharves for Fuel.

Poor Folks who Go Cleaning on the New
York Wharves for Fuel.
Among the many odd devices resorted
to by the very poor in their efforts to
gain livelihood is that of the peo-
pie who frequent the various wharves
and other places where coal is trans
ferred from barges to wagons or from
wagons to coal-sheds, and who eagerly
seize upon any stray pieces that may fall
unheeded to the ground.
OF coarse the loss in this way on each
ton of coal is scarcely noticeable, but in
the aggregate it amounts to no incon-
siderable quantity and the aged men
and worn-out women who so carefully
watch the huge coal buckets as they
swing in midair in their transit from
the coal barge to the wagons on the
wharf are often able thus to secure suf-
ficient of the mineral to warm their
humble homes throughout the winter.
Only those too decrepit to execute more
laborious work care to CLEAN coal in this
way, as they are seldom able to gather
large enough quantity to sell. But
the activity displayed by these poor old
creatures in their eagerness to secure
few nuggets is something remarkable.
The pursuit is not without it's perils.
There is always more or less competition
for the scanty prizes that reward a long
vigil, and in order to outdo their COM
petitors the old cleaners often rush
recklessly between wagon wheels and
almost under horses hoofs. Then, too,
as the big buckets swing overhead pieces
of coal are sometimes dislodged and fall
heavily to the ground, endangering the
heads of those beneath.
Not long since an old man was pushed
off pier into the river and nearly
drowned through the rush for single
lump that had attracted the attention of
half dozen cleaners. 1t had fallen on
the edge of the string piece, and the old
fellow was crowded off. Fortunately he
grabbed and held on to a rope that was
hanging from the stern of a coal barge,
and some oilers on the wharf hauled
him ashore.
The greatest danger to the cleaners
lies, however, in their reckless dives
under the wagons. The men and boys
who are engaged in loading frequently |
chase the old folks away, but they return
with persistence that defies all efforts
to save the coal and prevent accidents.

AN ARMENIAN HOUSE.
It is Very Difficult to Tell where IL Begins

It is Very Difficult to Tell Where IL Begins
or Ends.
AS the roofs of nearly whole village
join and form one irregular expanse OF
earth diversified with holes, ,rudimentary
chimneys, and so forth, stranger has
no idea where house begins or ends.
should like to see any one make out the
plan of one of these burrows-the name
most suitable for them. The roof is the
sidewalk of the village, and is especially
affected by strangers as being freer
from the savage dogs which keep guard
about the doorways. Sometimes the
slope from the ground is so natural that
horses and cattle pass over 1t; especially
Is this the case when snow has fallen.
once saw a horse thatwas prancing about
on roof, narrowly escape prancing into
the the chimney hole, of which the
rider was fortunately in blissful ignor-
ance. Dreary as the absence Of inhab-
itants often seems, the idea of life in
such abodes is even more desolating.
In building a house an excavation of
several feet is made. Then the walls
are built of stones laid up in mud with
sometimes mere suggestion of lime.
These walls rise to height of six feet
above the ground outside. The building
is entered by long, dark passage; near
the end there is n door, with heavy
weight, which makes it slam to
when released. Push this open
and step over a very high sill;
the incline before you leads to the
floor of the stable. The family room is
entered either from the passage, or the
stable, or both. 1t is large room with
an earthen floor. The ceiling is formed
by timbers laid upon the walls, cob
house fashion, every course little
nearer the center, and finally q hole is
left for light and air; all is now rounded
over with earth into kind of irregular
dome. n The stable is the coal
mine or forest from which they draw
their supplies. In the first place the
heat radiated by the cattle keeps the
oda thoroughly warm the whole season,
and more or less affects the rest of the
house. Then, every spring the manure
heaps outside are stirred up, men and
women turn up their trousers and tread
ing straw into the mass, finally make it
up into round cakes foot and half or
more in diameter. These are dried in
the sun and then stacked in hollow
cones outside of the house, and behold
your winter fuel, your tezeh 1t burns
something like peat and will smolder
long before going out.-Harriet g. Pow
ers, in Chautauquan.

WONDERFUL CALMNESS.
How One Grivet Escaped the Guillotine
During the Reign of Terror.

How One Grivet Escaped the Guillotine
During the Reign of Terror.
A tradesman of Lyons, in France, of
the name of Grivet, man of mild and
simple manners, was sentenced during
the French revolution, with a number
of others, to die next morning. Those
who were already in the cave pressed
around the newcomer to sympathize
with and to fortify him. But Grivet had
no need of consolation; he was as calm
as if he had been in his own house.
'Come and sup with u.s." said they;
''this is the last inn in the journey of
life; tomorrow we shall arrive at our
long home" Grivet accepted the invi-
tation and supped heartily. DESTROYS
to sleep as well, he retired to the re-
motest corner of the grave, and, bury
ing himself in his straw, seemed not to
bestow thought on his approaching
fate.
The morning arrived. The other pris-
oners were tied together and led away
without Grivet's perceiving any thing
or being perceived. Fast asleep, en-
veloped in his straw, he neither saw nor
was seen. The door of the cave was
loOhcu, dhi Wlcu uc dWOhc, dW nlle dlucT,
he was in the utmost astonishment to
find himself in perfect solitude. The
day passed and no new prisoners were
brought into the cave. The Judges did
not sit for two days. Grivet remained
all this time in his solitude, subsisting
on some scattered provisions which he
found in the cave, and sleeping every
night with the same tranquility as on the
first On the evening of the fourth day
the turnkey brought in new prisoner,
and became as one thunderstruck on
seeing man, or, as he almost believed,
spirit, in the cave.
He called the sentinel, who instantly
appeared. "Who are you?" said he to
Grivet, "and how came you here?"
Grivet answered that he had been there
four days. Doubtless" he added,
when my companions in misfortune were
led away to death slept and heard moth
lug, and no one thought to awaken me.
1t was my misfortune, since all would
now have been past, whereas have. now
lived with the prospect of death always
before me; but the misfortune now will
be repaired and shall die."
Grivet was summoned before the trib-
unal. He was interrogated anew. 1t |
was moment of leniency with the |
judges, and he was set at liberty.-Lon-
don Spectator.

EIRESlpE FRAGMENTS.

Brown sugar in doughnuts instead
Of wkite will keep them moist and nice
much longer.--The Housekeeper.
"A cheap and good mince-meat can
be made by boiling beef's heart till
tender, then chopping it fine and season
ing it and adding twice az much apple
by weight as meat. Fruit, spices, etc.,
can be added as one desires.
Paper or pasteboard may be rem
dered waterproof as follows: Mix four
parts of slaked lime with three parts OF
SKINNED milk and add a little alum;
then give the material two successive
coatings of the mixture with brush
and then let 1t dry.
Honey Cakes: Take a quart of strained
honey, half pound of fresh butter, and
small teaspoonful Of pearl ash, dis
solved in little milk. Add as much
sifted flour as will make stiff paste.
Work we'll together. Roll out half an
inch thick. Cut into cakes. Lay on
buttered tins, and bake in a hot oven.
Cream Dates: Rer owe the stones
from the dates, without entirely separat-
ing them. Take tiny piece of vanilla
fondant, the same as preceding recipe,
form 1t into little roll, place it in tho
space from which the seed was taken
press the halves together so that only a
small quantity of the candy can be seen,
roll the dates in granulated sugar, and
place them on dishes to harden.-Chris-
tian Union.
Ono great secret of nice cake maxi
Ing is the thorough beating of the batter
after all ingredients are together. Some
have trouble with granulated sugar.
Don't use so much. One-half inch less
fort cupful is enough. The cake batter
takes longer beating than usual, as the
sugar is longer in dissolving. We think
it the cheapest sugar on the MARKET
Farm and Fireside.
To use up slices of stale bread
bre- and cut them in pieces, first cut
ting off the hard crust, and pour boiling
water on it too soften tho bread. Then
for pint of bread crumbs beat up three
eggs and add these with pint of milk,
some bits of butter, little sugar and
raisins in quantity to suit and bake.
1t is n good plain, wholesome pudding to
eat with milk and sugar or pudding
sauce.--N. Y. World.
To take iron rust out of white goods:
Pour teacupful of boiling water;
stretch the goods tightly across the top
Of it; then pour on little of the solution
of oxalic acid dissolved in water, and
rub it with the edge of teaspoon or any
thing. If it does not come out at once,
dip it down into the hot water and rub
it again. This is quick easy and sure
way to remove iron rust, and should be
remembered by every good housekeeper.
Oyster Croquettes: Put two dozen
oysters on to boil in their own liquor.
Let come to boil Take from the fire,
drain and chop. Put half pint of the
liquor in q saucepan, with teacup of
cream, tbicken with tablespoonful of
flour and butter each, rubbed together.
Stir until the milk boils, add the oysters,
the yelks of three eggs, and stir one
minute; take from the fire, and season
with tablespoonful of chopped parsley,
n half of a grated nutmeg. little salt
and cayenne pepper. Mix well and
turn out to cool. When cold, form in
croquettes, roll in beaten eggs then in
bread crumbs and fry in boiling lard

HISTORIC HOUSES.
Why Buildings Associated with National
Events Should be Preserved.

Why Buildings Associated with National
Events Should be Preserved.
Sir Edwin Arnold while in Washing
ton City was told that it was proposed to
alter or rebuild the White House. He
protested in the name of posterity to
any such action, saying that future gen.
erations of Americans would wish to
look upon the very house in which
jackson and Lincoln had lived and
worked. He added that there was dan
ger that a people so young and energetic
as the Americans would neglect to pre-
serve the historical buildings associated
with their infancy as nation, which to
future generations would be priceless.
The English themselves are not free
from reproach in this matter. Many an
America, his heart burning with eager
ness to see the houses and spot in Eng
land which history has made immortal,
finds them swept away by the advance
of trade or fashion.
81 spent half my time in London"
said a recent traveller, sin looking for
houses that are no longer there"
This matter concerns even the young
est of our readers. As they grow older
let their influence be given to protect
all houses or landmarks connected with
our early history. 1t will be needed.
We are so close to those historic days
that their events appear commonplace
to us. We forget that time, which de-
stroys houses increasingly, adds enorm-
GUS values to their associations.
In another century the visitor to our
shores will make pilgrimage to the
house where the Declaration was writ
ten, or the spot where Franklin was
buried, as we do to Westminster Abbey.
But will they be able then to find either
house or grave?-Youth's Companion.

Theory of SiIoing.

Science tells us that changes in the
silo depends on four conditions: l. Life
in the vegetable cells and the presence
of air--result, oxidation and the genera
tion OF heat. 2. Life in the spores of
bacteria, fungi, ETC., in the presence of
air-result, mold. 3. Life in the veg
etable cells, without the presence of
air-result, fermentation and sour en-
silage. 4. No life in the vegetable cells,
nor in the spores of bacteria, fungi, etc.,
and the exclusion of air-result, pres
eryation and sweet ensilage. BY let
ting the heat rise In the first condition
Of oxidation TO 1876 degrees and over,
even up to 150, the life in the cells and
spores is destroyed, and by proper pack
ing the air is excluded, and thus the sec
ond and third conditions are avoided, and
the fourth condition with its results is
secured as consequence Orange Judd

The EnsiIage system.

Many practical farmers have adopted
the ensilage system, and think highly
of 1t. The question of its value, as com
pared with the drying of fodder, is not
yet, however, entirely settled. Prot.
Sanborn, of Connecticut, sums up the re-
suits of carefully conducted experiments
as follows: Corn-fodder may be success
fully dry-stored, and more cheaply than
in the green state. A given amount Of
dry food stored lasts longer than the
same amount put in silo. Silage-fed
steers made less substantial growth
than those dry-fed, and probably did not
make really as great growth of solid
matter. Dry fodder for cows proved
more effective than silage, producing
the richest and best milk. Dry food
gave the best butter, which seemed to
keep better. Dry food is more cheaply
handled, and COWS maintain their s.ve
weight best upon 1t. The air-drytng
method with dry storage in good hurn
In compact form is decidedly the more
economical method OF tho tws.-~N Z.
