... V > -'.l # Jfl X.\. r> • 1 r,** A Fiona Russian at Dinner. The Kussiumt are great believers in the evil e>e, and foreigners, on Bussian children being introduced to thsm, should beware of praising their beamy or of showing for them any of that ad miration which, under like circumstan ces, would be expected in Western Eu rope. To praise the child is to bewitch it, to bring it ul-lnck—to affect it, in short, with the ‘'evil eye.” Charms and inointatious mast then be resorted to, and in serious eases the priest is called in. By humility and pi ayer the influ ence of the evil eye may'be averted; bat it is desirable that the stranger, on see ing for the first time the cnildren of any family he may be visiting, shall not allow nimself to.excloim: "What a preity girl!” or "What a tine boyl”. There is another very different meth od by which the health of Bussian chil- drtn may be affected, and in this case beneficially, into this secret I was first initiated, not in Bassia, but in France, at the excellent restaurant of the Troix Freres Frovenoeaux, now no more, A Moscow merchant, who was dining there with me and some other friends, told me, toward the close of dinner, in ac cents of g.eat solemnity, thst he hud something weighing heavily on his mind. "Geuuch 1 vauovitchl” he ex claimed, "the thought has occurred to me, and will not be dispelled, that my poor wife at Moscow is not well. Let us drink a bottle of some particularly d wine for tne sake of Nadejda Fee ’s health." The proper kinds wine for each course had already been disposed of. But the sommeilier was consulted, and he declared that the cel lar contained a remarkably fine white Hermitage, winch could be fitly drank at dessert. If good wine drank at Paris could have benefitted Nadejda Feodorovua, ailing at Moscow, she mu«t have felt much better when the bottle of white Hermitage had beeu emptied. "That wine was just the thing,” said the mer chant alter a brief pause; "but 1 cau- uot feel tranquil, lor now something tells me that my eldest boy is suffering. Let us oiler up another bottle of that excel.eut white Hermitage for the sake ot my unud's nea tu. ” The pious sacri fice was goue through, to the admiratiou of tne old sommeilier, who brought in the wine himself and Was rewarded each time with a liberal gratuity. Theu by a sudden intuition, which cams to him just alter the second bottle had been finished, the merchant lx came cousc ous of some disaster by which auother oi his children was threatened, and, as he bad rutner a large family, it soemrd piobable that a good many more bottles would have to be ordered before the evil spirits which meuaced the safety of his Moscow home oould be thoroughly propitiated. It was then arranged that one final bottle of Obambertiu should be drunk in the interest of the entire iiuu .t no.d, tti d now, whatever the effect oi tuese libations may have been on his wiu- auu imi .ren, the merchant himseli seuuedpe f etiv lHpp>.

There is aceomouauon in the house for about twelve people. Ihe furniture is platu and strong, and there is a total absence oi ornamentation, if we may except the white cuttuir.8 to the little windows, and a few German prods hanging on the walls. The windows, which open iu two divisions, are wide open; the lloors are destitute of the abominable carpetings, without winch we fancy we cannot exist, and the rooms have, theretore, a look of airiness, cleanly sweetness, and healthiness to which our stuffy habitations are strangers, and whiou in Jkngl-ind we never see except in hospitals or w’orkhouees, where the headh of the inmates iu k the first con- si ieration.

The cream is then all taken off, and in order to imitate a full cream cheese a material called 'anti-hafT is added, which cute the curd and gives the cheese tbe appearance of a full cream cheese. ‘Anti-huff is composed largely of potash, aud if rpplied to the tongue woule take the skin off quite as quick as a coal of fire. You can draw your own conclusion of Its effects upon the coats of the stouaob. "An artiole was published in your pa per recently, saying that some twenty persons were made sick from eating oheese, and it wan attributed from their eating too much. I should rather in cline to the opinion that it was the qual ity rather than the quantity. I have made cheese forty years, and never yet heard of a sptiug, summer or fall cheese making auy one sick. The fact is, it is made of pure milk, and will give not ouly pleasure to the palate, but strength to the body. "Now, in order that th© public be not imposed on, 1 suggest that all dairymen who are making a pure article have their cheese branded and advertise where they are kept for sa.le/ A Hollas Pbofit os Each Hen.— Somebody wants tu know if one dollar per year profit from each lieu is a <^>od average, Where hens are kept as the majority of farmers keep them, one dol lar per head is quite as much as the owner ought to expeot, aud I don't be lieve that the average farmers can make cue huudred dollars easier than by keep ing aud oaring for a flock of one hun dred hens. If he will do a little extra work in the way of housing, care aud leer*, the hens will r dl at least fifty cts. to tne average dollar. Why. we have pullets that, at Heoember 11th, have laid three dozen eggs apiece since they commenced laying the first week in Oc tober, but they didn’t roost in trees and live on sawdust and gravel; they had a good, warm hous -, and plenty of food and care. If these pullets don’t earn considerable more than their “average dollar” per head,before next spring I’ll eut their heads off, every last one of them. And I may as well tell you that wlieu 1 fail to make at least thiee dol lars profit for each heu, duck aud tur key kept for breeding stock, I don't brag much about my success in poultry raising. ! Tnu complete shading of the soil rap idly enriches it, even without the appli cation of manure. It may be that sha- ding causes a deposit of nitrogou from the air; but be that as it may, every farmer knows that wherever a stack of hay or straw has stood for several mouths the ground underneath is not ouly enriched but grows much darker iu co'or. Any one may try an experi- ment, as follows: Select tbe poorest spot of ground ou the farm, aud lay over a stiip of any length, but about a yard wide, a few inches of straw, aud cover with a board or, if preferred, lay only a board on the ground. If the place n then seeded to something the diff irtnee in growtn between that por tion shaded and that not shaded will bo very marked. In planting usparagu* tbe following directions will secure a satisfactory re side S'»ak the seed for twenty-four Hours in tepid water and sow early iu the spring in rows u foot apart,and kept clean by frequent y weeding aud hoe ing At one or two years old transplant to peim-iunt beds. The ground should be treuched or dug over, two feet deep, burwug pleuty of manure, decayed leaves, leal mol I, rock weed or kelp, wlieu it oau be had, aud mixing thor oughly with the soil. Lay out the beds four aud a bait leet wide, and draw S drills fourteen inches apart and six inches deep lengthwi-e of each bed;place the roots iu them, a toot apart, in their natural position, and cover lour iuohes deep. A rich sandy loam is most suit able. All the best agriculturists of the pre sent day.os well as those who have gone before, give tne following us absolute requisites for safe bee wintering: 1. An even temperature,raugiug from 42 to 45 degrees. 2. Complete expulsion or ab sorption of moisture from the hive. 8. Perfect freedom irom outward distur bances. 4 Protection of stores from coutaet of frost. 5. Protracted isolation from atmospheric changes in spring. 6. Exclusion of light. 7. Sufficient stores for winter consumption. It is generally admitted that, with these seven contin gencies provided for, there will be no hazard iu wintering, and it is further admitted that no plan so far practiced combines tul these essentials. HUMOBOUb. Wet lands should not be plowed deep until they have beeu thoroughly drain ed. Alluvial soils and deep c'ay loams, where the surface aud subsoils do not materially differ, can scarcely he tilled too deeply. Thin soils,however, should not be plowed below the available plant food. It takes twice as much manure to fertilize laud when it is plowed to a depth ot ten iuohes, as when it is plow ed five inches; ou the other hand, by plowing ouly five inches deep the soil wilt be exhausted much quicker than when the plowing is only ten inches. Dr. Btcbtevant, at the New York Experimental Btution, has found that, whi.e corn meal made milk rub m but ter, it was not so easy to separate the butter from the hulk as wneu the cows were fed ou ensilage. He also found as yet unexplainable differences in the milk of the same cows on the same feed on diff rent days. Housewives have long known that cream was often much more easily eburued at some times than at others. It is to be hoped that Dr. Sturtevont's carefully ooudnoted expe riments will throw light on many doubt ful questions in dairy husbandry. To prevent potato rot the following oautiou should be observed: Avoid ler- tilizers that are extremely nitrogenous, as these are favorable to fuugus growth lu the potato. Potash compounds are just the reverse, being detrimental to tuugus aul beneficia' to the crop. Locate the potato field on e'evated, well drained ground and never on low, wet land. Dampms-i is a forerunner of rot. There are said to be fifty injurious insects in our vegetable gardens, fitty m our vineyards, while seventy-five at tack our apples trees and more than 50 our grain fields. Seventy-five million dollars is estimated as the damage done to the wheat in 111 nois m one season, and nearly ten years ago the annual loss in the United States from insect d q re<!at ous aloue was estimated at #400,000,000.

The cabmau received it, but kept his hand open and looked at the money significantly, which caused the barou to inquire whether it was not right. "Oh, yes.” replied the cabman, "it’s quite right, but your sons usually give me double.” ‘ They do, do they?” was the baron’s reply; "wail, they have a rich father aud cau afford it; I have not.” _____ A Veteran Soldier.

UU«tk8Li’iuU'l8ii»,K Owing apparently to some changes in the organisation ot the corporation which owns it, work on the Hudson River Tunnel has been for some time nearly suspended, and the Pioneer Tun nel on tho New York side of the river has hardly yet reached tbe silt,in which after all the difficulties encountered on the way, it was expected that it would make rapid progress toward completion. During the delay, however, the engin eers of the tunnel have taken care to maintain a sufficient air pressure in the excavation to prevent earth from enter- mg the headings, and a slight leakage of air which took place under one oi the steamship docks was promptly discov ered and stopped, so that everything is 1 m readiness for the prompt resumption of active operations, which may. it is hoped, occur in a few days. The first work to be undeitaken iu that case will be the commencement of tbe second tunnel on the New York side, which will, like the first, be earned out to the silt, then all the four headings, two on the New York side aud two on the New Jersey side; will be carried for ward sim ultaneously, until they meet in the mid dle of the river. Advice to Conaiuuptlve*. On the anpearance of the first symptoms —as general debility, loss of appetite,pallor, chilly sensations, followed by night-sweats and cough—prompt measures for relief should be taken. Consumption is scrofulous disease of the lungs;—therefore use the great anti-scrofula, or blood-purifier aud strength- restorer,—Dr. Pierce’s ’‘Golden Medical Discovery.” Superior to Cod liver oil as a uutri ive, and unsurpassed as a pectoral. For weak lungs, spitting of blood, and kin dred aff. ctions, it has no equal. Sold by druggists the world over. For Dr. Pierce’s pamphlet on Consumption, send two stamps to World’s Dispensary Medical Asso ciation, Buffalo, N. Y. Dynamite is one of the many pro ducts or combinations of mtro-glycer- iue, aud is about thirteen times as pow erful as gun powder. It consists of a combination of nitro-glycerine with a substance of great absorbent power, such, for instance, as fuller’s earth or rotten stone. By this composition the explosiveness of tfie nitro-glycerine is controlled, as it were,and tfiecompound is capable of withstanding all the ordi nary dangers of transportation, while at tbe same time its explosive power is not lessened. The process of manufacture is very simple. You take a certain pro portion of nitric and sulphuric acid and mix them with certain other proportions of glyci rine, which is tho essence of fat to make the uitro-glycerine. To make dynamite you need only mix mtro-gly cerine with some absorbent material— fuller’s earth is the best—to have dyna- mite. Dr. Pierce’s “Pleasant Purgative Pellets” are sugar-coated aud inclosed in glass-bot tles, their virtues being thereby preserved unimpair ed forany length of ime, iu any climate, so that they are always fresh and reliable. No cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes. By druggists. The manufacturer, says the Scientific American-, cau usually, by retard.cj to his books, ascertain the cost, of auy ar ticle of his produo lion and the amount of his regular daily expenses. He can ditcover how much matt rod has been lost by waste, and pt ssibly he can make approximate allowance for loss by in competence of his workmen. But there is oue source of loss which cannot oe readily asceitaiued, aud yet exists and ha, an effect upon the year’s production. This is the loss from the lacs of a right sys’em in the using of tools, and from the habitual carelessness this want of system encourages. Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription” is everywhere acknowledged to be the stand ard remedy for female complaints and weak nesses. Ii is sold by druggists. In an improved bichromate of potash battery, M. Luig Pouoi uses a liquid of this composition: Oue kilogramme of bicbromaie, crushed aud dissolved in four litres of boiling water,to wh ch two litres of chloroliydnc acid are added;No formation of crystals takes place in the battery with tins solution. For nearly 34 years 1 have been a victim of Catarrh, i have tried many remedies, receiving little or no relief. I bought one bottle of Ely 's Cream Balm and derived more real benefit from that than all the rest added together. You can recommend it as being a safe and valuable medicine.— iY L Fuller, Dauby, N.
