NEW YORK STORE, T D. EPSTIN, Manager, Scp*. 2?-3m?. ;FOR EEMTOISE' READERS. j A shy young;nwa went into a Broiid , way (New Yorik) jewelry store and looked j at gjmttemen's rings, -fingering them and : asking questions about them, and yet 1 appearing to take only a forced interest ( in them. The jeweler's clerk whispered j to a bystand er. " By and by he will come {. around to the wedding or engagement j rings. Tha* is what he hits come after.4' j Sure enough, the young man presently j .pointed to a tray full of fiat goldbahd rings. "What are they forF he in quired. The clerk said "that they were j merely fancy rings, worn by ladies and j gentlemen, and that some folks bought I them for wedding rings. The sly young ! man tried two or three on his httle fin ger, and, finding one that would not quite go over his knuckle, he Said': ! " Give me thiB one* How much is it?" j ' 1 It'3 $5," said the 'clerk, ?'but if you wan't a wedding ring I would advise j you not t? buy it. Every now and then I we sell them to. people who insist upon i having. them, but as soon as they imd j out the fashion they come back and have I them melted up and rolled up into this ' old-fashioned round form. The Only wedding ring is the round ring, plain ?! and simple." Gimme a round one, then; same size as this." .Hs got one and went away. The clerk laughed and said to a Sun reporter that he could tell wben a young man wanted, a wedding or engagement ring every time, though some times they ask to bo shown clocks, bracelets, or anything rather than what they come for. Very j many come right to the point, though they stammer and falter about it. quite painfully. Others again ask frankly and ! boldly to see what they want. "There j never has been a change in the fashion of j.wedding rings," said the clerk; "the J plain, round gold ring has always been j the only correct thing. Men sometimes ; choose other kinds, but women never i make that mistake." " Do women choose their own wedding rings?" "Oh, very often. Frequently they come in alone, fit a ring'to the right finger, and leave it for the prospective bridegroom to pay for. Sometimes they pay for it and take it away, and of course the young man reimburses them. Quite j often, too, the brides comes in with their i mothers. Very serious and grave the mothers are, and show neither timidity j nor sentiment. They ask tor wedding f rings, they look them over, buy oat), and. j go away. Irish and German girls often bring their lovers as well as their mothers. There is not a funnier sight in the world than to see a clumsy fellow hanging be hind and looking unutterably foolish while his sweetheart and her mother dis cuss the'purchase. They pay no atten tion to him until they come to the final selection. Then ihey tell him how much is to be paid, and he pays it and they all go out. Many foreigners, particularly Germans, exchange wedding rintrs. The bride pays for the groom's ring and vice versa. At the altar they exchange rings. They come in together to buy them." A Fine Complexion. j To soften and whiten the skin there ie . nothing more beneficial than oattneal, I taken internally and used externally. As j 1 have no wish tO encroach upon the j housewife*? domain, I'll simply eive ! directions for its external use. After a warm bath it may be used dry, or pour boiling water over a few teaspoonfuls of it, and let it stand a few hours. On go ing to bed, wash the hands and face free ly in the starchy water, and dry without wiping. Bran and Indian-meal may be used instead, with nearly the same effect. For the full bath put the bran or oatmeal into small bags, otherwise the difficulty of removing the particles which adhere to the skin is considerable. ? Instead of the poultices of bread and asses' milk which the Roman ladies found so efficacious for softening and whitening the face, we may use a mask j of quilted cotton or chamois skin, wet in I oold distilled water. This will not be_i the most" c~?mfort?l?Ie in the world, but j no great excellence is ever attained svith out labor and care. Many ladies whose complexions are the envy of all their friends, acknowledge that they owe it all to distilled water, which they used for their face and hands. Queen Victoria j is to be envied for one thing, if nothing else, for she has the delightful comfort and luxury of having distilled water for all her baths. Ladies with oily or greasy skins may use, sparingly, a few drops of camphor in the bath. Borax and glycerine combined are used with good effect by some people, while thoroughly disagreeing with others. Glycerine alone softens and heals, but in time will darken the skin and make it over-sensitive; the borax obviates this, and has a tendency to whiten. No toilet table is complete without a bottle of am monia. A few drops of this in the bath cleanses the skin and stimulates it won derfully. It is especially valuable in re moving the odor from those who perspire freely. To remove tan and sun-burn, cold cream, mutton tallow and lemon juice may be used; for freckles apply the latter, with a tiny camel's-hair brash. The country girl, deprived of many things which her city cousin finds indispensable, discovers that she can remove tan from her face with a wash made of green cu cumbers sliced into skim milk, or, failing in this, she makes a decoction of butter mil'.: anl tansy. A well-known writer on feminine I beauty recommends the use of finely I ground French charcoal for the com- j j plexion. A teaspoonful of this, well I mixed with water or honey, should be j taken for three successive nights, fol ? lowed by a simple purgative, to remove I it from the system. The aperient must I not be omitted or the charcoal will I remain in the system, a mass of festeriuc I poison, with all the impurities it absorbs, i None of these things will bring about the desired result unless the foundation is first laid by proper food, exercise and bathing: above all things do not neglect the bath. Cleanliness is one of the car dinal virtues, s'nd a woman fresh from the"bath feels a good deal like an angel. ?Dio Lew us a Monthly. Fashion \otcs. Brown in all shades is the fashionable color. Brocaded stuffs are in demand for lone: cloaks, loug dolmans, and visites. There is a great variety in the shapes and fabrics used for fichus and collars. Large chenille scarfs make exceedingly becoming wraps for the head and should ers. Cut steel, jet. silver, gilt and jeweled buckles adorn many dressy bonnets and hats. Tapestry wools and checked cheviots arc much worn by young ladies who like color. Brides' and bridesmaids' dresses have sleeves that are drawn on over the kid gloves. Silver and gold lace are much used for trimmings, especially with fancy ma terials. Ribbon half of ottoman lep and half of velvet comes in a few dark, rich rhades. Velvet collars and cuffs worn with -a plain wool house dress are an attractive addition. The satchel muff of plush or fur is popular for misses in their teens and for school girls. English milliners are using rosettes of narrow velvet, with a humming bird set in the center. Fine, long, elastic cashmere gloves are taking the place of lined silk gloves for general wear. Ostrich tips in panaches are the favorite trimmings for Henri II., Henri III., and Girondinhats. Children's cloaks of dark velvet and wool are fashionably trimmed with light gray lambskin. Lace of all kinds is very fashionable, and, considering the great demand for it, it is inexpensive. American silks gain in popularity every season. Their great merit is their ?n during qualities. ; " Skirts of dresses should be narrow when there are many flounces or super \n\^bsed draperies. Plush, and velvet strings are more fash ionable for bonnets than those made of ottoman and satin. Some of the cloth muffs made to match cloth suits have the ?wearer's monogram embroidered in the center. Cloaks for children have the long, high-shouldered cape, or the long-sleeve cape, as in former seasons. An fi?glish ?ieeye pattern is gathered both at the shoulder and at the wristj but is cut in the coat shape. Brocades are not suitable for young girls. Thev should wear evening dresses of soft surah, veiling, Or cloth; Children's dresses are, still made very" Ltt?rt, but with these oresseS very long wtiol hose are worn at this season. Chenille fringes are very handsome when used- discreetly?that is to say, sparingly?on wraps and costumes. Trains arc to be seen on the new im portations of dinner and evening dresse% and these trains are very full and l?ag\ All Bort? of fanciful figured pieces and heads in steelj gilt, silver, and other metals ornament both hats and bonnets. Girls in their teens wear the sailor hat of felt, with a broad ribbon tied around it with a bowj and floating ends in the back. Collarettes of real lace are made in a point in front, which is a short or a long point, according to the taste of the wearer. For elderly women, mantles, some of shot plash with raised black velvet leaves or flowers, trimmed with marabout, matching the color of the ground, are handsome. Evening toilets for young girls are this winter to be most invariably of white, in corded silk, small-partened brocaded satin, veiling, and surah, to say nothing of the gauzes and tulles, in various pat terns and combinations of stripes and dots. Birds at; the Lighthouses. The keeper of the lighthouse at Atlan tic city supplies his table with all kinds of winged game at certain seasons of the year without wasting as much as a pinch j of shot or using a trap of any kind. The most favorablb times for this cheari sup ply of game are when the biros are migrating north in the spring and re !turning to southern Climes in the fall. They follow the Jersey coast all the way Up or down in their flights. At.night they fly high, and when they sight Abse com Inlet light, which is 167 feet above the ground, they, head directly for it. They seem to be attracted the same as moths flicker around a candle flame. If they are being carried along by a heavy wind they are likely to dash againBt the big plate-glass windows surrounding the lens, and the" little things drop to the ground dead. The objectionable feature of the affair is that they spatter blood all over the glass, which is sometimes hard U> clean. To prevent them from striking the glass, Major Wolf, the keeper, has con structed a wire netting on the north and south sides. Not long ago a large black duck, which was sailing along in a heavy storm, collided with the netting with such force as to cause a dent six inches square. He was a very dead duck when he reached the ground at the foot of the tower. When the weather is clear any number of small birds hover around the light all night. After resting on the rail ing surrounding the light they fly off into the darkness, but soon return again. Major Wolff says: "The little fellows I catch with my hand. They do not move away when I approach near them. I al ways keep several large boxesmp here in which to store the feathered youngsters. A species commonly known as 'fly catchers,' peculiar to the coast, has been very abundant the past fall. Of these I captured about 500, beside thirty or forty thistle birds, five cuckoos, ducks, red headed woodpeckers, reed and rail birds, gulls and snipe. One large specimen of the latter lauded so violently against the iron netting that he plunged through one-of the meshes and stripped himself of~t.ll Li? feathers as far back as the shoulders. I also caught five scarlet tangiers, natives of the West Indies. They are of a deep scarlet color. Pre vious to taking this color they are cov ered with feathers of an olive green shade."?Philadelphia Record. Our Big Neighbor. A great deal has been said of late about our neighbor, the planet Jupiter, and with good reason, for Jupiter has been in a condition of intense activity. His disk, seen through the telescope, is crossed by belts of various forms and colors. The central ones are the great equatorial belts, and are more permanent than the lesser ones near the poles. The Talker saw this planet a little while ago, through the largest refracting telescope in the world. His disk was larger than that of the full moon. - His belts were of varied forms and colors, and were tinted with soft gray, purple brown and delicate green. The picture was not only superbly beau tiful, but wonderfully impressive for the atmosphere of life and action that per vaded it. Jupiter is probably surrounded by a cloud atmosphere several thousand miles in depth, beneath which glows the heated nucleus, giving out some light and heat. The great red spot, the huge rifts in the clouds, the changing form and hues of the belts, bear witness to the commotion that agitates his chaotic mass, the process of development that in the course of millions of years will make the giant planet a fit abode for animate life. The Companion says truly that we are probably watching the pro cess of world making on the surface of our big brother. In his*vast bulk, 1,300 times that of the earth, the cooling pro cess must be slow, for the law is, the larger the mass of the planet, the longer it takes to cool. Long before it shall have become cooled, it is probable that mankind shall have ceased to exist on this planet.?Chrutian at Work. A Marine Yarn. The San Francisco Noes-Letter says that the Star of France, lying at Oak land, has a sensation probably uncqualed in marine accidents. It appears that coining through the topics the cook got out on the martingale under the bow sprit to spear dolphins with a grains. Ho missed his footing while striking a fish and was never seen again; but two hours afterward the first mate caught a shark fourteen feet long, with a dolphin and the grains, one of the cook's legs, and a gold watch and chain in his stomach. They recognized the cook's leg because it was tattooed all over with anchors and girls and things. Then the mate went fishing again with a large piece of pork, and in two hours caught another shark with the rest of the cook in him. The Qnaker Bonnet. Those persons who have supposed, and not without reason, that the Quaker bon net was as unchangeable as the laws of the Medes and Persians, will be sur prised to hear that an important modifi cation, which almost amounts to a revo lution, has been quietly introduced and firmly established. This reform bonnet ) is made of olive or nut-brown silk, "with ; a soft crown raised a little in the Nor mandy style and plaited into the front, which is composed of narrow casings, with a tiny finish of pleats around the face. The strings are set up on the sides, so as to give the cottage bonnet effect, and there may or may not be a plain quilling of white on the inside, accord ing to the fancy of the wearer." * Burning Bead Bodies. Cremation will receive a powerful impetus from Portugal if the cable dis patches are correct. It is reported that it has been decreed that in all the municipalities the cemeteries shall be emptieu each five years and the bodies be publicly cremated. Why the law is to wait five years, which is quite enough time for contaminating the earth and the water supply, instead of having the bodies cremated at once after death is not clear. It may be a conciliation to the sentiment of the people.?Sanitary Neicg. . _ The Mormons are likely to raise trouble in the Sandwich Islands, v. her? they harn a large and growing colonyi POPULAR SCIENCE.

Dft Steffan, a well-known oculist of Frankfort-on-the-Main, has recently called attention to the injurious character of many of the occupations of children in the kindergarten, such as sewing on perforated cardboard, tracing figures on punctured paper, etc. Work of this kind is not only very hurtful to the eyes, but also to the spine, curvatures of which may be brought on by the "positions as sumed by near-sighted children thus oc cupied.

Norwegian Snow Skates. The Norwegian snow, skates must not be confused with the Canadian, which are much broader and used in a quite different way. The Norwegian snow skates are mado entirely of wood; their length is about eight feet, and their breadth three inches to four inches, the forepart being a little pointed ?.nd curved upward. The under side is very smooth, sometimes with a little groove planed along the middle. Some people use them tightly fastened to the feet; others only put the forepart of" the foot through a withy band fastened to the skate, which enables them to withdraw from it easily in case of a fall. The dif ferent parts of the country have their own shape of snow skates, either a little narrower or broader, shorter or longer. Only by the necessity of using the snow skates one can explain the wonderful ex pertness at which the Norwegian peas ants arrive. In order to get to the top of a hill the skater tacks up the sides of the hill, like a ship against the wind, sliding on the surface of the snow, and never lifting his feet from the ground, except when making a side turn, or he goes straight up, lifting one foot sideways over the other. A staff about five feet long, grasped with both hands, is used by some people, either on the left or right side. The hill chosen for exer- ] eise or matches is.often hundreds of feist I high aud pretty steep, of course, accord- j ing to the ability of the runner. Let us now commence the descent. After a few J steps the speed soon increases so much that you can hardly breathe, and'allyour thoughts must be concentrated on keep ing your balance. In the lower part of the hill the acceleration produces a speed which may sometimes be compared with that of an express train. Should you feel symptons of an approaching loss of balance, you must use your staff, which will partly retard the speed. But if you use the staff too much, you arc called a " staff-rider," aud not considered as a good runner; therefore, people avoid it as much as possible, and many never use it at all, even down the most difficult hills. There are often drops on the sides of the hill, either from following its natural out line, or caused by snow rifts. When the runner comes to one of these he .has to make an aerial voyage, and the most dif ficult moment is when he comes to the ground again, as it is a matter of chanco whether he will land on his feet or make a series of somersaults and be buried in the snow. A Valuable Bottle in the Atlantic Two business men sat in the office of the Brevoort house one evening last week discussing matters pertaining to "the sea. The conversation turning upon the possi bility of a sealed bottle thrown from a vessel in mid-ocean ever being picked up, one of them said: "I will bet you a good dinner and a gold watch that such a bottle, thrown from the steamship Bothnia on her next trip, will not be heard from within a year." "I will take your offer," returned the other with a smile, "and will certainly be ready for your dinner when the time comes." ^.Henry K Collier, a dealer in watches and diamonds, was appointed referee in the matter. Under his direction a quart champagne bottle was prepared in which were deposited letters of instruction writ j ten in English. German. French and ! Spanish, and also an order for a gold I watch. After the bottie had been duly j corked and sealed it was placed in the ! hands of Captain McKay of the Bothnia, I who agreed to throw it overboard when the steamship had reached mid-ocean. I As the Bothnia sa'led on Wednesday of last week it is expected by the men who ; made the wager that the champagne bot j tie is now bobbing about on the. waters I of the Atlantic waiting to be picked up ! by some fortunate fisherman.?Neu York ! ! Tribune. An American Institution. These, says Peck'* Sun, arc the days of t that glorious American institution, pump ! kin pie. The hotel or restaurant pump ; kin pie is not the simon pure article, it I has had too many foreign airs added to I it. It may be good, and it may pass for I what it was intended, but it can't hold a : candle to the pumpkin pie our mothers I nnd grandmothers made. Just look at I the difference in the t\vo brands. I Mother's had a nice short crust with an j edge about an inch deep, and in this was a plump measure of pumpkin "pulp" mixed with nice fresh eggs, milk, and just enough spice to give it flavor. It was a picture of a blooming, healthy pie. It makes a man's mouth water to think of it. The store kind of pumpkin pie has a sort of sickly second cousin counte nance, and is scarcely over an eighth of an inch thick, with a crust on the bottom that almost breaks a tinner's shears to cut it. As for taste, that has to be im agined, as it is a sort of go-as-you-please flavor between tan-bark and cinnamon. There should be some action taken by the legislatures to prevent the degenera tion of this great American institution? the pumpkin pie. If this is not done, future generations will read in history of I a dish now so highly prized by patriotic citizens and grieve to think that the building of the pumpkin pie of their fore fathers ts a lost art.

Why CaUIo KclisU Roots. The Natvmal\Liw Stock Journal says: "Cattle and hogs will greedily eat sugar ->eeta or other roots when on a full ra tion of corn. '?hey will relish the roots because they hare a cooling and sedative effect upon ths stomach and bowels. ? Gprn is so full of carbon as to have a ten dency_to xv-^?:e a feverish state of the systernwESP?*^11 *00 largely. Roots have the same effect upon the system as succulent grass. English farmers use roots largely in the fattening ration, but they also feed with them rape cake, lin seed cake, etc.v or other nitrogenous food. Roots, likeI Indian corn, are too poor in nitrogen as a single food for growing young plnimals or for fattening. Corn and roots ^gether would be much healthier than corn alone, but a better fattening ration Would be oats and corn with roots, or, bjetter still, corn, cotton seed meal or linseed meal and roots. With a small proportion of linseed meal, say three pounds, with nine pounds of corn meal?roots would not be so neces sary for health, as the linseed meal, would keep the ..bowels in good order. Corn, bran and sugar beets or mangolds would fatten hogs and keep them healthy. Hogs especially are benefitted by the use of roots. They are usually fed on corn alone, which, we believe, often induces cholera and other diseases. The roots give them a bulky and cooling food?just what they so much need. Bran is a bulky food, and, fed with, corn, is beneficial to hogs. Sugar beets, with good clover hay, will grow young ani mals or fatten mature ones. The clover is rich in nitrogen and the roots in car bon, making a well balanced ration." Care of Tools and Implements. One of the heaviest taxes to which far mers are subjected is the purchase and repairing of agricultural implements, and in many instances this tax is undoubt edly increased from carelessness in allow ing plows, harrows, and other imple ments to be exposed to the weather when not in use. There are a few simple rules in regard to the care of implements, which in most cases can be easily observed. In the first place, every person having many imple ments should have a house of sufficient size to accommodate all their work ing tools and implements, and it should be a fixed requirement that whenever a tool is not in use it should be ? placed in its appropriate position in the tool-house, and before being put away it should be carefully examined, to see whether it is broken or damaged hi any manner, and, if so, it should be marked for repair the first leisure moment. No todl should be put away in a dirty con dition. A very few minutes will be re quired to clean it, which will prevent the rusting of the iron, as well as dam age to the woodwork. All the polished parts of an implement, ?s the share, mold-board and coulter of the plow, aud the blades of axes, mattock, spades, mowing-ma chines, etc., should be oiled to prevent rusting; they will then be in readiness for use at any moment. Every wooden part of an implement should be painted at least once a yea/, and even twice a year for those that are much used in the field. Rainy days can be appropriated for such work; a good mineral paint is the best for these purposes. Paint not only preserves the wood from decay, but from cracking, and consequent easy breakage. Economy, comfort and ap pearance, all demand care in the keep ing of machinery of any kind used in farming and field operations.?Practical Farmer. Farm and Garden Note*. Frequent changes of food for fowls are indispensable to success. Potash salts are most valuable if ap f)lied to grass lands which have previous y been well drained. In whitewashing your hennery put some kerosene oil into the mixture for the benefit of the hen lice. Many costly fowl houses fail to Keep healthy the inmates principally because of the absence of thorough ventilation. In fattening hogs, if they are fed in open pens or in mm Idv ground, fully one fourth of the corn may safely said to be wasted. A hen may be calculated to consume one bushel of cort, annually, and to in the same time lay[ ten dozen, or fifteen pounds of eggs. : When you have giyen an animal a dose of sulphur be can ful to keep it warm afterward. Sulphur opens the pores and they take cold easily. It. is acknowledged by all who breed poultry that meatan essential portion of their diet, especially if the fowls arc confined in close quarters. Bones owe their ralue as a fertilizing material to the phosphoric acid which they contain, and hi a less degree to the combined trogencus matter found in them. California farmers raise sixty-two bush-1 els of sunflower .^ed to the acre, and after grinding a gv-lion of oil from each bushel, feed the refuse to chickens and cows. The value of gyj)sum as a fertilizer is believed to be parly due to its action in fixing volatile aw: escaping carbonates of ammonia and conveying them to the roots of plants. It may seem extravagant to cut up and plant the largest, smoothest and nicest potatoes raised, but a very few trials, taking one year with another, will soon convince the grower that it is the most ; profitable thing to do. Milk is a constantly changing sub stance, and from rhe moment it is drawn from the cow, except when temporarily arrested by unnatural heat or cold, de composition is in progress. Cream has the same tendency, though not in so marked a degree. Hens having liberty to go around the farm-yard, scratch at the manure-heaps, and run over the adjoining lands to pick up worms before sunrise, etc., will get more than half their living, beside being exceedingly healthy and laying many more eggs than if confined to the poultry yard. It is said that plums, pigs and poultry flourish well, together. If plums are planted in grounds occupied by pigs and chickens good crops nearly always result. The pigs continually disturbing the soil, and thus preventiagthe growth of weeds, hinder the curoulios from secreting themselves at night. Those who, are cultivating raspberries and strawberries, says the Nebraska Farmer, should not forget that a stem that has borne one crop is of no more value, and should be disposed of in order to make room for the new shoots, of which not nnre than two should be allowed to remain. These should be tied up to sticks or trellises, and when blackberries are; five feet high the tips should be pinched off, and raspberries at three feet high. Never allow any one to tickle your horse in the stable, says the Farming World, The animal only feels the I tor ment and does not understand the joke. Vicious habits are thus brought on.

After all the talk about poisoning from Paris green it is well to give, the testi inb-ny of the New York Agricultural Ex periment, station: ''One part of Paris green mixed with 200 parts of ground limestone proved entirely successful against the larva; of the potato beetle. Great care is, however, required to se cure a thorough admixture of the two substances where so small a proportion of the poison is used. In this dilution Paris green seems to lose its danger to the human family, as we can scarcely imagine injurious results coming from its use to the careful man." A farmer who has tested five different varieties of peas, according to the cata logue from which he made his selections last spring, now finds that there is not the slightest difference in any of them. In earliness, manner of growth, hight of plant, length of pods, number of peas in a pod?in fact, in every particular, the alleged different varieties proved to be one and the same. The farmer thus victimized pertinently asks: "Have seedmen the right to give new and catch ing names to old varieties and to be wilder and mislead the public by offcr ering the same article under five different names ?" Recipes* Columbus Eggs.?Take any number of hard-boiled eggs, cut them in halves; remove the yolks and mash with grated ham; add butter, salt, pepper and mus tard to suit. Fill the cavities in the whites of the eggs with the mixture, close, cut off a slice from onp end and stand erect on a platter. Fruit Pudding.?One-half pint each of molasses, sugar, butter and sour mi Ik; three eggs; two teaspoonfuls of soda, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and raisins; flour to make a stiff batter. Butter a cake pan; pour in the mixture; set in a steamer, cover tightly, and steam two hours. Do not remove the lid until ready to serve. Serve with sauce. Fried Salt Poke and Potatoes.? Peel a pint of potatoes, cut them in strips about quarter of an inch thick, and put them over the fire in salted boiling water. Slice half a pound of salt pork, and put it over the fire iu a 'frying-pan to fry. When the pork is fried, drain the pota toes, dry them on a towel, and quickly brown them in the hot pork drippings. Serve them on the same dish with the fried pork. Boiled Apple Pudding, R. I. Style. ?Peel about a quart of apples, cut them in quarters, remove the cores and lay the apples in cold water; peel, boil and mash half a dozen large potatoes, ad ding to them, while mashing them, half a pound of butter; then mix with the potatoes an equal quantity of flour, and sufficient cold water to form a stiff pastry, und roll it out about an inch thick; dip a large pudding cloth in boiling water, spread it inside a bowl large enough to contain the apples, leaving the sides of the cloth hangiug over the edges of the boil; dredge the cloth quickly with flour, arid then spread the crust over the cloth; next drain the apples, put them into the crust, mixing with them a teaspoonful of powdered cinnamon and four tabiespoon fuls of brown sugar; draw the pastry up around the apples, incloSing them en tirely, and slightly wetting the edges to make them adhere closely; then tie the pudding cloth tightly around the pud ding; put the pudding at once into a*j large pot of boiling water and boil it steadily for three hours, keeping it well covered; when the pudding is done, re move the cloth, and serve it with any good pudding sauce. Household Hints, To remove rust from stovepipe, rub with linseed oil. Hold your hand in very cold water to remove a tight finger-ring. Persons who perspire freely should put a little ammonia in their toilet water. It is pleasant and dries the skin effectively. Pan cakes are easier to pour when pre pared in a tin kettle with a spcui. A small one can be purchased for the pur pose. Using a rubber comb is often detri mental to the hair. Persons with a great ?cal ot electricity in the hair should use a bone comb. When buying tin covers for kettles bo sure that they have rings of wire on the Lop, instead of flat handles soldered on, is the former are much more durable. A Splendid Structure. The new palace of justice at Brussels, anc of the largest and most remarkable constructions of modern times, was re cently opened with becoming solemnity. The palace, placed in a commanding sit uation in the most elevated part of the town, was commenced in I066. The celebrated architect, M. J. Poelaert, who made the plans and directed the work, lias, unfortunately, not seen its comple tion. Since Iiis death, in 1879, the Avorks nave been directed by M. Wellens, engin eer in the service of the government. M. Poelaert did not adopt any determined jtyle, but made use for his magnificent structure of Greek, Romau, and even, especially as regards the outline, of Li lian models. The result is considered 1 glorious one for his memory and for the country, but it has only been ob tained at a cost of 45,000,000 francs !?4|00(),000). Very large sums will be required for the transformation of the quarter surrounding the palace so as to give it a frame worthy of it. The palace by itself cov ers ;}(i,000 square meters. By adding the squares and ascents and descents which had to be created, a total of (10, 500 square meters, which were necessary for construction, is arrived at. The cen tral hall measures 300 Square meters, and is 85 meters high, while its roof opens into a gilt crown terminating in a cupola at a height of meters, The palace contains beside twenty-seven large and 245 smaller halls for the different services, and eight court-yards. All the principal halls are most richly decorated. The materials which have been employed in the construction and decoration are the most durable which could be provi ded by money, after a most comprehen sive study of the matter. The building is. indeed, almost indestructible, and will transmit the name of Poelaert to the most distant times. The outside height up to the crown on the cupola is 118 meters. From whichever side one now approaches Br?ssels this colossal build ing presents itself, dominating the town and surrounding country, ('rities, of course, find fault with this and that, but on the success of the great enterprise as a whole Belgium must, be congratulated on.?London Time*. Hair Turkey and naif Chicken. Louis Bode, of St. Louis, has a feath ered biped which is half turkey and half chicken, which he found in a coop of fowls sent in from the country. So far as its physical proportions arc concerned it may be said to resemble the mermaid, which is also a half-and-half concern. Those who have examined the chicken turkey say that it has the head and breast bone of a turkey and the tail, legs and feathers of a chicken. It walks like a chicken, gobbles like a turkey, wears dom inick chicken feathers and appears to be at home either amongjehickens or turkeys. Only a Question of Time. "You could tell at a glance that the butter wasn't old," said Jones to h? landlady. "Of course it isn't, sir!" she replied, much pleased; "but how can vou tell, sir?" "Why, I can see that it isn't bald yet,^ he answered, softly. FACTS FOE THE CURIOUS. The word from which "honey" is de rived, Hterally"*means "delight.1' Stirrups were not known by the un dents.

Xchophon says that it was in vented by Cybele; The Greeks Computed time by the Olympiads, which began 776 B; C. The computation of time by centuries was first adopted in France: A farmer in Stokes county, N. C., got into a frenzy over his short crops this season, and cursed heaven and earth. While he was cursing he was suddenly paralyzed: A sparrow flew against a man as he was briskly rounding the corner of an old wall in Louisville, Ky. The bird's bill entered the corner of the man's eye, destroying the sight. The horse that J. Wilkes Booth rode after" he assassinated President Lincoln is in the possession of a Mrs. Furlong, of Westmoreland county, Virginia. The animal is twenty-five years of age. The distribution of cakes and wine at a wedding 13 a remnant of the old cus tom of sending the remnants of the pre vious Sunday's communion to the newly wedded pair, that they might share their first sacrament with their family and most intimate friends. The United States government owes W. H. Vanderbilt $47,050,000 in four per cents, and sends him a draft tor his $1,882,000 annual interest in quarte iy payments of $470,500, which is $214.84 per hour, or $3.58 in every one of his sleeping or waking minutes. Two farmers, one from Oxfordshire and the other from Wiltshire, recently engaged in a contest in pitching in the harvest field. One pitched twenty acres two roods and seven rods, the other over nineteen acres. The average of an ordi nary laborer's pitch is seven acres. It takes fully a year and a half to con vert tobacco into snuff, and it goes through very elaborate preparations. Like beer, it is allowed to ferment so as to be thoroughly pickled, and is kept in this condition for at leas, six months. It is then subjected to a steam tempera ture of 240 degrees, after which it i8 ground. Near the mouth of the Little Chey enne river, in Dakota, is a rock with curious indentations. It is twelve feet long by seven or eight wide, and rises above the surface of the ground about eighteen inches. Its edges are angular, its surface flat, and it shows little effect of ice action. It appears to be magne sion limestone, and its whiteness makes it a conspicuous object. On the surface are several deep and perfect footprints, as though made by the left moccasined foot of a woman or boy. It is known to the Indians as a religious rock, and they worship it. The new lord mayor of London de clines to take out his state carriages and. liveries on Sunday, because it would give work to his servants, and he wishes them to have a day of rest. Maryland to the Front. The Hon.

I found after getting home that my water was affected from the strain and was almost the color of blood. My -wife ad vised me to use Hunt's Remoiy, which, we had used before for other troubles. I sent to BisselTs drug store for a bottle, and after using it a short time the pains in my back and kidne/s were fast disappeariagi The second bottle cured me completely, and I can most heartily recommend Hant's Rem edy to the many of my railroad companions that I find are troubled so much with kidney troubles; Respectfully yours, Henry McGinnis* Engineer N. Y. 0. & H. B. R. S. Rome, N. Y.* June 9,1883. I have been troubled for a number of years with kidney and liver troubles, eevere pains in back, with loos of appetite and vigor gen erally. My kidneys were very weak at times, with non-retention of urine, and a brick dust deposit I took several medicines, but they did me only a temporary good. I was recom mended to use Hunt's Remedy, and I pur chased a bottle in Rome, N. Y.f and found that the first bottle gave me great relief. I had less pain in the back, my water became more natural, passed better and needed less attention, and after using four (4) bottles I find that it has completely cured me of my kidney and liver trouble, and consider it a wonderful medicine, and have recommended it to many who have found that Hunt's Remedy is all that ib claimed for it.
