OCEAN DANGERS.
Monthly Data Issu d by the Hydro
nranlic Office Il s. N.

The advance sheets CT the chart of the
north Atlantic ocean for May, issued by the
photographic office, United States navy,
make the appended forecast of ocean wealth
or for May Fair weather will prevail gen.
orally over the north Atlantic, with occa-
sional northerly gales along the American
coast and m lderate northwesterly gales
north of the 10th parallel. Northers in the
gulf of Mexico will occur less frequently,
and be of less duration, but are liable TO be
of great violence. There will be notable
increase of fog off the grand banks, due to
the northward movement of the gull stream
and the southwark extension of ice brought
down by the Labrador current. Ice bergs
ma, be encountered almost as far south as
the 10th parallel, between the 18th and 52d
IN ridians, and may be more numerous than
usual east of the 10th meridian.
The subject of ice off the Grand Banks,
most i'm portant one in transatlantic narica-
ton, is very fully treated in the chart. The
eastery movement of ice, a very unusual
event, has attracted attention. Ia addition
to the large number of bergs south of the tail
of the banks, almost to the 4lst parallel,
they are constantly reported almost as far
east as the 35tn meridian, in n. lat. 46o aud
47o.
Special attention is therefore called to the
graphic data on the chart. illustrating the
positions of bergs and field ice reported,
with dates and the probable ice limit for
May. Already there have been 20 serious
accidents, two vessels having been lost and
many others damaged and delayed. The
quantity of ice is enormous. one vessel pass
ing through this region reporting lao bergs,
others 80, so 40, etc., while in size some OF
them are $50 feet high and 1850 feet long, 100
feet high and half mile long. etc.

CAP AND BELLS.

The jester sang in the banquet hall.
His wit obeyed no bride;
Herailed at all, both great and small,
The rich, the poor the idle.
And mirth at every merry joke
Rang out from floor to rafter;
II mattered not what'er he spoke.
They answered all with laughterl
Ha-ha, ho-hol /
1t merrily, merrily swells,
They've never a carewho motley wear,
And don the cap and bells
He preached sermon true and wise, 4
They only thought he jested;
They laughed, and with their streaming eye
The witty quip attested.
Perchance his heart had felt despair,
But how were they to know its
They only saw the motley there,
They never read below it,
The years passed by, the Fool lay deau,
His laughter stilled forever;
''He was the king Of all, they said,
ave shall find his equal never"
But hid away, they found one day
A jest that silent made them
A glove-a fiower-a tress of hair
Upon his heart they laid theml
Ha-ha, ho-ho!
Itmerrily, merrily swells;
They've never a care who motley wear,
And don the capa bells!

TO BAKE DRY FISH.

Make sauce of one and half ounces
of chopped fat bacon fried in the bottom
of a saucepan with one ounce of beef
suet and two ounces of carrots, onions
and tomatoes. When these ingredients
are brown, STIR in three tablespoonfuls
of flour, which should also brown; add
quart of hot water and season with salt
and pepper. Let this boil gently one
hour, skimming it clear. When the vege-
tables are soft, rub the sauce through a
sieve and add a tablespoonful of vinegar.
Clean the fish if it is whole one, and
lay it or the cut fish in the dripping-pan
on a few vegetables, slivered. Season
with salt and pepper, and pour over it a
half pint of stock or hot water. Bake
half an hour. Pour little of the sauce
on dish; lay the fish in, with boiled
potatoes around it. Serve the remainder
of the sauce in a boat. -Ne,o York Wit.

The suggestion is made in Garden and
Forest tc substitute wire-netting for bean
poles and pea. brush in village gardens.
The galvanized wire netting sufficient for
a row of peas, beans, or tomatoes $50
feet long, it is affirmed, will cost twenty
cents a year only, if ordinary care be
taken OF the netting when not in use. In
using the wire only few stout stakes are
needed, which can be put away under
cover when not in use, and it makes the
neatest kind of a trellis Imaginable. 1t
throws no shade and always presents a
point to tie to. Tomatoes usually need
a good deal of tying with most methods of
training, but on the wire-netting they
soon get their shoots interlocked in the
meshes and only need the occasional ty-
ing in Of a branch. This netting is not
only cheaper than the various patent trel-
Uses offered for sale, but is much better
every way. The netting is largely used
for poultry-yard Enclosures. A wider
grade is used, so as to make fence seven
feet high by the help Of Dashboard
twelve inches wide. There is no reason
why these poultry yard fences could not
be made both beautiful and useful by
using them to support grapevines, trained
high, so as to have the fruit out of the
way of the poultry. The vines would be
benefited by the droppings of the fowls
and the fowls by the shade of the vines.

CITRoN PRESERVES,

Cut the citron in pieces about two
inches square, and boil it in soda water
until it is so tender that a straw will
pierce it easily, then skim it out and let
it in weak alum water for three hours,
and after that, in cold water for one
hour. Make syrup of one quart of wa
ter and four pounds of sugar for every
four pounds of citron. Boil this syrup,
removing all scum, until it is clear, then
put in the citron and let it remain, cook
ing slowly, until the sugar has penetrated
it thoroughly, when it must be dipped
out of the syrup and packed into jars.
Boil the syrup until it becomes ropy,
flavor it with lemon or stick cinnamon or
extract of ginger, then pour it over the
citron, sealing the jars as soon as they
are filled. j Yankee Blade.

POPCORN FOR PROFIT.

The fact is suggested to those looking
about to "dodge competition" in crops,
that popcorn is always in demand; many
times the quantity now grown would be
used if raised. Children are fond of it,
and it is better for them than nuts and
candy, and apparently just as satisfac-
tory. The price ranges from seventy-five
cents to 81 per bushel of ears, it being
the latter here now, and scarce at that.
A neighbor sold his crop last fall, nearly
100 bushels, from one acre, for 81 a
bushel. A New York dealer offers to

HAM PATE.

Housekeepers are often puzzled to de-
wise way to make the hard parts of a
ham palatable. But after the better por-
ton has been sliced off, the remainder
can be converted into a very tempting
dish.
Cut all the meat from the bone and
chop it fine, boil six eggs hard and chop
them also. Put in the bottom of a small,
deep pudding dish layer of the chopped
ham, then layer of egg. Moisten with
cream sauce, add second layer of ham,
another layer of eggs, moisten again
with bread-crumbs, dotted with bits of
butter. Bake about half an hour or I'M
