A few days ago was standing by an
American gentleman, when expressed a
wish to know which point was the North,
He at once pulled out his watch, looked
at il and pointed to the North. l asked
him whether he had a compass attached
to his watch. "All Watches" he re-
piled, "are compasses." Then he ox-
blained TO me how this was. Point the
hour hand to the SUN, aud the South Is
exactly halfway between the hour aud
the figure XII. ON the watch. For iu-
stance, suppose that 1t is four o'clock.
Point the hand indicating four to the
stin, and IL. on the watch is exactly
South Suppose that II Is eight o'clock,
point the hand indicating eight to the
sun, and the figure X. ON the watch is
due South. My American friend was
quite surprised that did not know this.
Thinking that very possibly l was ig
norant of thing that every one else
knew, and happening to meet Mr.. Stan
ley, l asked that eminent traveller
whether he was aware of this simple
mode OF discovering the points of the
compass2 He said that he had never

BIRpsNEsr PUDDING.

Core and peel enough tart, we'll flaw
ored apples to cover the bottom of a
round porcelain pudding dish. Put
about half an inch of boiling water in
the dish with the apples. Cover them
with a plate and set them in hot oven
to cook for twenty minutes. At the end
of this time the apples should be tender
ard nearly cooked and the water en-
tirely absorbed. If any water remains it
should be gently turned off, but so as
not to break the apples. Prepare an un-
sweetene1 custard of five eggs and
quart of milk which has been brought
to the boiling point. Add the eggs to
the hot milk, carefully beating them in.
Season the mixture with a saltspoonful
of salt, and pour it over the apples. It
should cover them. Replace the pud-
ding dish in the oven without a cover,
and bake the custard and apples till the
custard is firm in the centre. The oven
should not be too hot.-Bost0n GuLti-

SELECTING A SOW.

An English swine breeder says that in
selecting sows three or four points de-
mand attention. First, the animal should
be strong and healthy. Delicate speci-
mems are frequently dainty feeders, and
they should be avoided, for they give
much trouble. Secondly, the sow should
be long, and have good shoulders, back
and loins. A n~Tsew- backed pig often
rises with difficulty, and frequently
smothers one of her offspring. Thirdly,
long legs are to be condemned, for sows
which have this defect carry too much
of the race-horse in them. Lastly, there
should be a full complement of teats.
He adds: sit is very annoying to find
your SOW has but ten teats when she has
brought you litter of twelve strong pigs,
for the two unfortunate members of the
litter which are not provided for must
either be killed (Which no one likes to
do) or be reared at considerable incon-
venience. Under such circumstances as
these / have found it the best plan to
leave the pigs with their mother until it
is clear which has to run short, aud then
N~NtNAA ~ ~ NAAAN rum lIhElD. Ills
can be very quickly accomplished by
holding the pig IN one hand and the
milk in the other, gently pressing the
head into the cup. The young sow
should be brought to the boar for the
frs. time when about eight months old.
II she has been carefully managed until
that age she will be of good size, and
nothing will be gained by keeping her
longer minated She should not be
pamperel at any time, but be fed regu-

lsows can be kept, / admit, in a close sty

costs more to keep them in this way.
and it is more natural to give them a
grass run. The greater part of the wear
they will get most of their keep, and
when not sucking, all the food they will
require in addition to grass will be a
bucket OF wash morning and evening"

A Paste which WIN stick Anything

A paste which will stick anything is
said by Professor winchel to be made
as follows: Take two ounces Of cleaf
gum arabic, one and half ounces of fine
starch, and half an ounce Of white sugar.
Dissolve the gum arabic in as much water
as the laundress would use for the quanti-
ty of starch indicated Mix the starch
aud sugar with the mucilage. Then cook
the mixture In vessel suspended in
boiling water until the starch becomes
clear. The cement should be as thick as
tar, and kept so, 1t can bo kept from

nentiy successful during a severe winter
would give indifferent results during
mild or open one. The cabbage grower
must therefore either strike a medium
or else adapt his methods TO suit the
varying conditions of the winter, There
are two of the different methods of
storicg cabbage which we have found
satisfactory. One is to select a high
piece of ground to afford natural drain
age. A light mat or bed is made with
dry straw, about the width Of two cab.
bage heads, and as long as may be de-
sired. The cabbages are pulled up, care
fully carted to this place and then, hav-
ing the outside leaves neatly closed
against the heads, the plants are placed
roots uppermost on the straw, and as
closely together as possible, making two
compact rows, A few inches of straw
are put carefully on the cabbage and
earth is thrown on gradually to the
depth of about a foot, drawing in the
roots to form the top of ridge. The
earth is taken alongside of the row, thus
atfording additional drainage, while the
mound while the mound when finished
must be well packed down with the back
of the spade. When this is finished, a
row of corn fodder is piled along each
side to still further protect from the
weather. This will keep off both rain
and cold, if properly placed. In taking
oIt any cabbage during winter, at once
cover up the row to protect the remain
ing heads. Another method is to plant
the cabbage roots downward instead or
inverting them and then pursuing the
same general plan as above. II there is
a root cellar mot underneath the dwell
ling house, as vegetables should never
be stored there), the cabbage can be
stored there in almost the same manner
except that no litter need be used, and
instead of earth small quantity of sand,
there being but little covering needed to
protect from cold when thus sheltered,
and what is used being to keep the cab.
bages from drying out. In whatever
cabbages are stored, if it is de-
sired to keep in prime condition, the
roots must not be removed until the
heads are needed for use or shipment.
Rats and mice are very fond Of this veg
etable, and growers must do all they can
to keep them out. As the straw used in
storing makes fine nests for them and
the cabbage affords plenty to eat, these
rodents naturally like to find such quar-
tiers to pass the winter.-Americdn Agri-
eulturist.

nRoII.En FISH.

- To broil a fish you must have clear,
bright fire and the gridiron must be we'll
creased, either with melted butter or
nice dripping free from salt. The fish
should be turned but once. Mackerel is
a very delicately favored fish when fresh,
and should be cooked in the following
manner; After cleaning and washing the
fish well chop up little parsley and
mix it with salt and a small piece Of
butter. Lay this inside the fish. Then
take sheet of paper, butter it well and
roll the fish up in it, fastening it with
two or three pms. Lay it on the creased
gridiron and broil it in the usual way.

A LEVEL HEAD.



The Advantage Of Presence Of Mind IN an
Emergency.
During the late strike on the New York
Central Railroad, the militia were ordered
TO be in readiness in case of riot, but they
were not called out.
In an interview Gov. Hill said the troops
were not 10 be called upon except in case of
an emergency, The emergency had not
arisen, therefore they wuuld not be ordered
out He remarked that this was tho first
great strike with which lie had had expert
ence, and he did not ropose to lose his head;
the only point at which there had been serious
trouble was at Syracuse, and there deputy
sheriff had lost his head and precipitated an
encounter
The strike contintied several weeks and
there was riotous action at various points
along the road; but the civil authorities were
able to cope with it without calling on the
militia.
The test of man'sreal ability comes when
an emergency arises which makes a hasty
call ON his good Judgment and discretion.
The man who retains his presence OF mind,
retains his equipoise and exercises sound
discretion at such critical junctures is TO be
relied ON and will be put to the front
Men with level heads have the staying

WHEY FOR FERTILIZER.

There may be as much fertility in whey
as in the best commercial fertilizer. A
farmer who did not have Paris green
enough to go over his patch of potatoes,
and the Colorado beetle being quite de-
structive, tested very sour whey as bug
destroyer. Its use checked the insects
somewhat, and he made two subsequent
applications of it. He found at digging
time that the whey had more than
doubled the crop. This could not be
attributed to the moisture of the whey,
for the season was wet. There are other
evidences that whey and -washings
are loaded with fertility. Let either of
these be thrown on the turf in the same
spot number of times, and it will kill
the grass. The stencil soon arising from
such spot. in warm weather is proof
that these substances contain much ami
NAL matter. Milk-washings should be
so disposed of rs to conserve sweetness
and fertility at the same time.-Ne,o
