Tho Orthodox Mince Pie.

The consumption of currants for pastry
making purposes in the United States il
very large, and the fondness for pies ant
puddings into the composition of which
raisins and currants largely enter, is un
questionably derived from the mother
country. Our American kinsmen's mode
of making mince pies differs, however, con
siderably from our own. From one kint
of mince pie they use as basis fresh o.
tongue, which for two days is kept covered
in equal quantities of salt, brown sugar
and powdered cloves; then it is boiled ant
minced very fine; three pounds of currants
picked, washed and dried, 60 to the entire
tongue, with the grated rind Of five lemons
and an ounce of bitter almonds and d
pound of sweet almonds pounded, foul
nutmegs, cloves and mace. To this art
added three pounds Of beef suet, chopped
six pounds Of Sultana raisins and six ap
Piles that have been pared and cored Non
abstainers add a quart Of Madeira and a
pint Of brandy to the mixture.
Miss Jane Strickland has another way
for making mince meat. She begins with
finely shred and chopped beef s,let, nm
equal quantity of cold roast beef; then her
currants and her raisins and apples come
in, and the whole Is sweetened with moist
Jamaica sugar, favored with the peels OF
two lemons and the usual spices. This

The Formation of Bodies.

NJ Lagrange has communicated to the
Belgian academy paper on the formation
of bodies in the universe. In this paper he
expresses the opinion that, before any ex-
penditure Of work, the quantity of heat of
the universe was nil; that the temperature
was gradually raised above absolute zero
at the expense of work done by attraction,
and hence the formation of solid bodies
must have preceded that of liquids and
gases.
That through the gradual condensation
of matter and consequent enormous devei-
opment of heat the earth would attain, at
least in the parts near the surface, the state
of fiuidity necessary to its form and geo.
logical characters; then, as the temper
ature gradually rose with gradual agglom-
Grafton of matter, a very dense atmosphere
would form, with pressure diminishing
outward, and in more advanced phase
the temperature OF this, after reaching a
maximum. would gradually diminish,
causing liquefaction or solidiflcation of
certain matters at first vaporous, while
other solid bodies might remain suspended
In the atmosphere.
Briefly NJ. Lagrange, in elucidation of
the basis Of his original and remarkable
theory as thus set forth, declares that
space is occupied by two substances
namely, one attractive. which is matter
properly SO called, or material atoms; the
other repulsive, which occupies the inter
atomic space, and from which results be-
tween any two atoms variable repulsion
exercised at the esurface Of the latter. New

At the annual meeting Of the British

ence. DR.. q. Z. Knott gave q report
on earthquake phenomena in Japan.
Among effects Of the recentsevere earth
quake were mentioned the depression Of
a valley by about nineteen feet for a
distance Of thirty rniles-thus forming a
great geographical fault-together with
the destruction Of mills, bridges aud
towns. and the curving OF a railway line
running along an embankment and
bridge In the path Of the earthquake. 1t
is stated incidentally that in many earth
quakes-though not in this one-oil is

Thackeray's London.

Pail Mall, the "sweet, shady side" OF
which was the favorite haunt of the beaus
and dandies of the regency, was familiar
to Thackeray, who began and finished
"The Luck of Barry Lyndon" while stay
ing in St. James street. No more congen-
ial district could have been found for the
worldly minded old major, who loved to
station himself in the great window OF
Bays club-the bow window Of Whites
with half a score of old bucks similarly
recreating themselves-old fogies who, Pen
unkindly suggested, should be set up in
wax at Nine. Tussaud's in a chamber of
horrors by themselves. The humorous side
of club life is admirably portrayed in the
"Book of Snobs."
A member of the Atheneum and the Re
form, Thackeray was particularly partial
to the smoking room Of the Garrick club,
then situated in King street, Covent Gar
den. 1t was here, at the annual dinner
held on Shakespeare's birthday, that he
said: "We-the happy initiated--never
speak Of it as the Garrick; to us it is the
G., the little G., the dearest place in the
world. d."-Chambers' Journal.

Manners at Home.

The pleasure of good manners is
nowhere more needed or more effec-
tive than In the household. and per-
haps nowhere more rare. Whenever
the familiarity exists, there is a ten
dency to loosen the check upon selfish
conduct which the presence ofstrangers
involuntary produces. Many persons
who are kind aud courteous In COM
pany, are rude aud careless with those
whom they love best. Emerson says:
sGood manners are made up of petty
sacrifices" and nothing goes further to
secure the harmony and peace of the
family circle than the habit of maxi
ing small sacrifices for one another.
Children thus learn good manners in
the best and most natural way, and
habits thus acquired will never leave
them. Courtesy and kindness will
never lose their power or their charm,
while all spurious limitations are to be
dispised.
