Entertaining an Author.

Forty years ago every town In New
England had its lyceum, and, as one OF
the winters recreations, course OF
lectures delivered by clergymen, ,politic-
ians and men distinguished i'll literature.
Hospitality was freely extended to the
lecturer, and not infrequently, if he
was a notable man, several families in
yited him to become their guest.
The late Richard ii. Dana, Jr., the
autbor of "Two Years Before the
Mast" used to tell story illustrative
of the effort made by hosts to entertain
their distinguished guests.
Mr.. Dana once lectured in a country
town and then walked home with the
president of the lyceum, farmer.
After long silence, tie farmer said,-

"Waal, l never read it myself; my

Dead silence again fell upon the two
until their arrival at the farmers house
where Mr.. Dana was introduced to the
invalid wife, who had not been to the
lecture.
'My DEAR" said the farmer, al be-
lieve you've read Mr.. Dana's JookF"

"No, sir" replied Susan Liza.

The pots can be placed IN a cold frame,
or buried, not merely plunged, in the
earth, where there is no danger OF
mice, who are very fond of the bulbs.
Bulbs planted about the first of Octo-
Der can be brought forward about the
middle of November, and when given
plenty of light with judicious forcing
can be had in bloom by Christmas.
An essential to both these bulbs is that
they be kept cool; If they can be kept
ut q temperature of about 55 > the best
results will be obtained.

and shake lightly, to free it of heavy
drops, then sprinkle.

from insects. For watering, 1 use AL

opposite side from the handle, and find
it convenient. My Salvlas, Hello

four, and five-inch tin-cans, and, with

ELAyORINGS.

Very much of the success OF culinary
labor depends on the skill with which
fiavorings are used. An excess of spice
in mInce pies or puddings or cakes
spoils them as certainly as deficiency
makes them flat and insipid. Goose
served with onion in the stuffing and
goose served without 1t are entirely
distinct dishes. A bunch of sweet
herbs boiled in soup not only improves
its flavor, but increases its assimilative
properties. Comparatively little at.
tention has been given in this country
to the art OF favoring, and French
cooks, very largely indebted to their
knowledge of this art for their popu.
larity, are preferred in hotels and pri'
vste families that can afford them to
cooks born and bred here. A French
cook can take a sweet-bread, kidney,
bit of tough meat, and with sprl9
of parsley, bay leaf, little thyme,
and sweet basil, make a dish perfectly
delicious at trihing cost; but American
cooks must have steaks at % and ~
cents pound, roasts of high price,
the choicest parts of mutton and lamb
or they cam ot be expected to get up
good dinner; and with salt and pepper
in plenty, they make little use OF othel
flavorings.
What spices are to cakes, puddings,
and pies, sweet herbs are to meats anC
savory dishes. Every housekeeper IL
the country should have her little plo
in the garden of sage. summer savory
sweet marjoram, sweet basil, thyme
and parsley, and practice the art o
blending hsvors harmoniously. They
are to food what fragrance is to flowers
