THE MODERATE, pRISKER

At an old fas' ,ioned temperance Meeting
in Brooklyn church recently, Colonel r.
l. Chevis, of Kentucky was the principal
speaker. He was introduced as native Of n
whisky manufacturing State, and said that
his fellow-natives were too wise to drink
but we refuse to be poisoned by it. Statis-
lies show that it is consumed mostly in the
North" He denounced the moderate drinker
as greater evil to society than tho habituaI
drunkard, because the former had access TO
harm than drunkard could bring about
among his class of associates. The speaker
recalled that Chauncey Depew and other,
prominent men had attributed the presence

FARM HINTS.

A PIECE of farm work done in season
is twice as valuable as the same work
done out Of season.
THE neglected farm is pretty sure to
starve out its owner. This is natures
method of taking revenge. She demands
a square deal.
THE value of any kind of fodder Is
not in its quantity, but in the amount
that is digestible. The quality largely
depends on the stage Of growth when 1T
is cut and cured.
SMALL patches Of wheat have been
grown which produced at the rate OF
one hundred bushels per acre, yet the
average yield Of wheat in this country
does not exceed twelve bushels.
NEVER make an expenditure on the
farm without having an object In view,
and knowledge Of what may be the
result All experiments should be
made on q small plat and the cost
noted carefully. While some are sue
cessful in producing extra large crops,
yet they failed to secure profits, be-
cause Of expenditures injudiciously
made.
ALL field crops should be so planted
as to allow plenty Of room for cultiva-
ton between the rows. Some crops do
not receive proper cultivation late In
the season, because the horses can not
pass between the rows after the plants
are well grown, the consequence being
Lo+ ,NACcnccinu and lncCpnQ
the yield. Cultivation is necessary for
some crops until they begin to seed.
WHENEVER fertilizer is applied the
benefits therefrom extend into the
second and perhaps third and fourth
years. There are always some portions
Of the fertilizer that are insoluble, but
which become available after the lapse
OF year or more. AS certain plants
require particular plant-foods, the Sec
ond crop may be more benefited by the
fertilizer than the first, much depend
ing on the composition of the fe rtilizer.
A FEW years ago farmers in grain
growing localities used straw lavishly for
bedding, for the purpose Of making the
largest possible manure piles. Now
the tendency Is to use as little straw for
bedding as is consistent with cleanli-
ness. Cut straw mixed with ground
grain makes valuable feed, the straw
furnishing carbonaceous matter, and
the meal giving the elements that make
muscle and growth. II corn meal is
used, it should be mixed with ground
oats or wheat bran to make good feed
ing ration.

A Touching Incident.

General p. McGlashan delivered a
lecture in Savannah. Georgia. recent
ly, for the benefit of the Confederate
Veterans fund. His subject was
THE Battle of Salem Church, Va. "
The speaker described with graphic
detail the battle of Salem Church and
the heroic part the Georgia soldiers
took in the engagement, and after
telling of the final charge of the Con-
federate troops and the rapid retreat
Of the enemy he related the following
incident of the stern devotion to duty
which characterized the Georgia
troops. He said:

but was always present for duty. He
was terribly wounded. While load
ing his rifle, standing sideways TO the
enemy, ball had struck him on the
edge Of his temple, tearing out both
his eyes, tearing off his nose, and the
brains seemed TO be out. He evident

CHEESE.
How 1t May BE Made Both Palatable
and DiRestIble.

How 1t May BE Made Both Palatable
and DigestIble.
In cheese-making, writes DR.. Heath in
the American Agriculturist, the whey
carries off fully one-half OF the natural
salts of the milk. This explains why
cheese is so indigesdble, even in its
.Yipest and most perfect state. Add to
cooking-cheese the natural amount OF
bicarbonate of potash, and you have Sc
cured most nutritious and digestible
food. This salt of potash in cooked
cheese neutralizes the Tactic and other
acids contained in excess in the un.
cooked cheese, and which do not agree
with the stomach. We possess in prop
erly-cooked cheese the bone, muscle and
power essentially necessary to the la
boring man. l have cut and carved
from Gre Fydd and w. Matthiu Williams,
the one scientific cook and the other
scientific chemist of cookery, a recipe
for cooking cheese, as follows:
Take a quarter of pound Of grated
good cheese, add to it a gill of milk, in
which is dissolved half dram of bicar'
~
O quarter Of an ounce to pound OF
cheese; also a teaspoonful OF mustard
half a teaspoonful of white pepper, a
grain of cayenne, the sixth OF grated
nutmeg, two ounces of butter and two
tablespoonfuls of baked -four, or the
same quantity of baked bread crumbs.
Put them into a porcelain-lined sauce
pan, all thoroughly mixed, over slow
fire, constantly stirring until 1t becomes
like smooth, thick cream (but 1t should
not boiN; add the well-beaten yelks OF
six eggs; mix we'll. Put the mixture
into tin mold and bake in hot oven
twenty minutes and serve hot Cheese
cooked according to the above recipe
will supply a valuable article OF d.
gestible food, which long experiences
has amply and happily verified

The Girls of the Treasury Attic.

Some of the queerest work OF the

varieties of business which are car
ried on inside those great walls. |
stood for ten minutes and watched
about fifty women sewing on carpets
in the top loft of the Treasury. The
carpet was stretched on frames like
carpenters saw-horses, and the girls
were having a quilting bee in join
ing the widths together. All the car
pets of the Government, the country
over, are sewed here, and if a custom
house at Cleveland or New York
wants carpet, it sends diagram of
its room to the Secretary OF the Treas
ury and the carpet is here made and
shipped.
The charwomen Of the Treasury
take charge Of the building after the
clerks have gone away and for an
hour or so they turn the Department
inside out
They wash the windows,
They scrub the floors.
And they polish up the knobs
OF the big front doors.
They are under the charge OF
head charwoman, who receives a good
round salary for watching them scrub,
and they get their S24O u year for
the business. \ number of the girls
of the basement sort waste paper and
it takes quite a regiment TO attend to
this business. All the old envelopes,
wrappers and scraps Of paper which
accumulate during the day are saved
and are shoveled down into the waste
paper room. This room looks like n
great country cellar. Its walls are
whitewashed and one,half OF the
room is divided into three great bins,
which are filled with three kinds of
paper. The girlsare carefully watched
and they sometimes find important
documents, and instances have beer
known of money coming down to this
room.

Why the Baby Cried.

1t was on Pennsylvania railroad
train coming north from Washington
All the passengers but two in the
sleeper had dozed off. The exceptions
were "a young man and baby. The
former was willing TO follow the eX-
ample of the majority, but the latter
objected in loud voice. Its cries
awoke the otherpassengers, and some
pretty strong language was heard.
The young man got out OF his berth
and carried the baby up and down
the car. trying to soothe it. But the
baby was aiing and fretful, and its
voice would not be stilled. Finally a
grayheaded man, who was evidently
an old traveller, stuck his head out
from behind the curtains and called
TO the young man in rather sharp
voice
See here, sir, why don't you take
that child TO its mother. She will be
able TO manage it much better than
you 1t evidently wants its mother. =
Yes. that's it," echoed half dozen
other irritated passengers
The young man continued to pace
up and down for a moment, then said,
in quiet, strained voice:
ITS mother is IN the baggags car
There was an instantaneous hush
for a moment. Presently the gray
headed man stuck his head out into
the aisle again.
Let me take it for while" he
said softly; perhaps | can quiet it,
