Garni.hing Dishes.

1t is well for every one that has
bit OF spare ground to have Il bed
sown of sweet herbs to garnish meats
and salads. Some raise parsley in
bed and remove it to the house when
frosts come, and it will grow all win
ter.
Young chickens cut up and fried
brown in butter, then arranged on a
platter, make an inviting dish by gar
nishing the outer edge OF the platter
with small sprays Of curled parsley.
1t is also nice to garnish veal and NUT
ton with, and a platter OF sliced
tongue is more inviting if parsley
sprigs are arranged on the outer edge
and a few leaves scattered over it.
Sliced lemon is also appropriate for
garnishing tongue.
Salads should be garnished with
sliced boiled eggs, parsley, or other
green. Boil the eggs five or ten min
utes, and throw them into cold water
until cold, before peeling. The flow
ers and leaves Of the nasturtium are
very handsome to garnish fish with.
The graceful, feathery leaves of the
carrot are much liked for garnishing
fresh pork.

Saving Manure.

Successful gardening, says the Wes-
tern Rural, means plentiful applica-
ton Of fertilizers, and, indeed, there
should be more attention to saving
manure on the farm than is now be-
slowed Our land is mostly very fer
tile naturally, but manure does not
hurt any land, and the time will come
when either we or those who come
after us must fertilize the land. But
the garden needs manure, and we
would raise the best garden crops.
In the first place, we should have
barn-yard that is fitted for saving the
manure. If the yard is one that per
mits all the drainage to run waste we
shall lose a good deal. The drainage
should be taken care OF somehow, it
being left to the individual judgment
in each case as how best to do that.
Then, in piling up manure, it is much
better to put it into flash heap. If
you pile horse manure on to a high,
loose place, fermentation will be
excessive and vast deal of ammonia
will be wasted. If it is put into flat
pile the process Of fermentation can
be regulated, for when it is too great
the pile can be trodden down. That
will check fermentation.

The Colonel was Excused.

The Confederate soldier had his fun,
with short rations and pay in inflated
currency, says the Chattanooga Times,
and the "Yank" was not always the
subject. The writer OF -Four Years
in Rebel Capitals" graphically illus
trates the point:
Refreshed inwardly and outwardly,
the men would march, down
the street, answering the wav-
ing handkerchiefs at every window
with wild cheers. Nor did they spare
any amount Of chaff to those luckless
say-at-homes encountered on the
streets.
Come out'r that black coat! " 81
know ye're conscrip'l." Don't you
want'er go for sojer?" "Yere's yer
chance to git yer subterfoot"
These and similar shouts, leveled
at the head of some unlucky wight
brought roars of laughter from the
soldiers, and from the victims I'M
sympathetic friends.
At one house pale, boyishlookine
youth was noted at window with II
lady. Both theoretically waved
hankerchiefs, and the men answered
with a yell; but the opportunity was
too good to lose.
Come right along, sonny" was the
cry. The lady'll spare yer. Here
little musket fur yer
"All right, boys" cheerily respond
the youth, rising from his seat.
"Have you got leg for me, too?
and Col. F. struck the shortest of
stumps on the window seat.
With one impulse the battilion halt
ed, faced to the window and came to
present" as their cheers ratified the
windows Of that block. The chord
had been touched by which the rough
est soldier is ever moved.

Pasturage Rotation.

Galen Wilson says in the New York
York Tribune: Divide the pasturage
into four fields; place the COWS in No.
1, horses and young stock in No. 2
and the sheep in No. 3. In week
longer, move the cows to No. 4 the
horses and young stock to No. 3, and
the sheep to No. 2, and continue this
order Throughout the season. The
cows will thus have fresh, succulent
feed all the time, and reward for it,
by fuller flow of milk; the horse and
young stock will consume much of the
coarse and tufted grasses; and those
economic cleaners, the sheep, will fol-
low and clear up the remainder, to-
gether with the weeds and bushes, il
any. Domestic animals will not Craze
about their own droppings, but will
about the droppings Of other classes.
So manage that each field be grazed
close down once in the season.
This thickens the sod-on the same
principle that the lawn mower thick
ems the lawn turf and makes the her
bage full and velvety. Close feeding
tends to production of a fine, close,
even turf, which experience shows
produces the best pasturage and the
most Of it, while it prevents any tufts
of grass from growing tall and becom-
ing unpalatable; nevertheless over
stocking should not be Of too long
continuance, and should occur while
yet the heritage is in vigorous growth
By a curious provision of nature, per-
sistent pasturage, especially if closely
grazed at times, drives out the wild
and coarse grasses OF a better quality
take their pace.

The Devil.

1t is an old story Of the Scotch Pres
byterian who said: THAT the devil is
bad, you can tell by his very name;
for if you take away the d. it is evil,
and take away the de, it is vile, and
take away the dew it is ill, so that he
is an ill, vile, evil, devil"

Help to Mothers Nursing.

Mothers who have the care and drausht OF
nursing infants, need the aid OF strengthen
ing tonic to make up the nourishment re-
ouired for the growth OF the child. Ale. por-
ter, and lager beer have often been recon-
mended. or late, since physicians have be-
come aware that the Port Wine produced by
Alfred Speer, OF Passaic, y. j., sstrictly pure,
they have prescribed IL instead OF ale or por-
ter, as being more blood making. This wine
is principally sought for by mothers who
have nursing infants at the breast, as the
best supplying medium to be found. The
wine is rich in body and not intoxicant but
gently stimulating and makes good blood.
Druggists generally keep it, and sell 1t for a
dollar a bottle Enquirer.

CHAPTER XIX.
DRAWING LOTS.

At half past four o'clock Keppel Darke
was landed on Long Island, and was
within couple of miles of the summer
cottage he had built Chere. 1t was Sun
day, and the worhIaen had left their
work. The house, rVr that matter, was
all hut completed except its interior fur
uIS.ings. A wdtchNian was appointed
to keep guard over it, but during the
daytime his duties were merely nomi-
nal, and at that hour he was taking
siesta in his quarters above the stable at
the back of the building, little expect
ing that the owner of the premises was
so ntar. ....
1t SO happened that Darke was now
traversing the same region through
which he had CROPPED his way on that
night, three years before, after his escape
from the railroad wreck. The memory
now required to him, and with it the
parallel between his state then and now.
The events of the intermediate period
were to him like strange story which
he had read, and which seemed true
while he was reading it, but which he
now recognized as fabulous. This expe-
rience and that other one were alone
real. Now, as then, he was penniless
and helpless fugitive, an outcast from
society, with danger dogging his foot
steps. Then, rs now, treasure lay be-
fore him, but then the treasure was of
precious stones and jewels; now it was
the woman who loved him and whom
he loved. He had lost the one, but he
had gained the other. And as he pushed
his way onward he thanked God that
the better part was left TO him. The
suffering that he had undergone since
Olympia's disappearance, and especially
the agony of the torture to which he had
just been subjected, he remembered as
hideous nightmare or burning at the
stake. But the flames of that fire had
consumed the baser part of him; his
heart was purified, and at every step he
took it grew lighter and more hopeful. q
