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

Perhaps a slight description ot tne
hotel may be gi\en here, it is au im

stuns is first a little square place which
1 must call the entrance-nail, Irom which
the stairs rise right opposite the door,
keeping against the will; doms open
right and le t, lead ug .o tue guest-mom
on the one baud, and two bed rooms on
the other. Up stairs is the dining-room,
a large ore, lighted by four windows,
t wo at either end, and from one side of
it open stveral bed-chambers, which,
being occupied, we did not sie. 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

Alter breakfast our pouies were ©ur

guide, having beeu told iu the house
that he was au excellent man, who
could talk a little LngJisk, and during
the unoccupied time that was on our
fiands, we caretully examined every
thing that was in every shop, discover
ing that every article to eat, drink or
weai- (always excoptiug codfish) was im

By-aud-by Jon came with the boxes
in wnioh our clothes and provisions
were to be carried on pony-bnc , We
hud four boxes, et cir about eighteen
inches long, as deep as long, and per

these were filled with icgsa ud mackin

loaves, wnioh came irom the ship, and
sundry tins of meat, sardines, biscuits
and marmalade. Our party of two was
joined here by two other gentlemen from
Manchester.

A DttLTERkTioit of Chbksb.—A writer
makes the following statement of the
manner in which adulterated cheese is
manufactured: "The milk is allowed
to stand from twenty-four to tnirty-iix
hours. 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.

A Veteran Soldier.
Mb. G. P. Bowles, of No. 24 Common Street,
Lynn, Mass., says:
While in the army, at the battle of Spotteylva-
nla, I fell while itetting over a rail fence and wm
badly Injured and left for dead, but after a time
I was picked up by comrades; and upon examina
tion It was found that my back was badly hurt and
my kidneys seriously injured, and t have suffered
the most excruciating pain since, and could ob
tain no relief although treated bv several physi
cians, and I had given up all hope' of getting help
when I was reeomtneuded to use Hunt’s Remedy.
I purchased sevaral, bottles at oue of our drug
stores in Lynn, and began to use it as dl ected,
and can now attend to business, anil am free from
the pains I formerly had; and l wish to say to my
friends and comrades that Hunt’s Remedy will do
all thatis claimed tor it,and is worthy of all praise.

sion to, as 1 most heartily recommend it to all that
have kidney or liver troubles.”

having severe pain j in my back, with general loss
of strength and vitalliy.
My urine wm very bad, with a heavy sediment
of brick-dust, which was fast leading to gravel. I
commenced using Hunt’s Remedy, with a marked
Improvement from the start; the pans lelt, the
urine became more natural, and I can truly say
one bottle ejected a pemuineiU cure.
I have recommended it to many persons both
here and in Boston, all of whom speak of it with
the highest praise.

Regeneration for Enfeebled Systems,
Suffering from a general want of tone, ami its
usual concomitants, dyspepsia and nervousness, is
seldom derivable from the use of a nourishing
diet and stimuli of appetite, unaided. A medicine
that will effect a removal of the spaclflc obstacle
to renewed health and vigor, that is a genuine cor
rective, is the real need. it is the posse ision of
this grand requirement which makes Hostetler's
Stomach Billers ao effective as an invigoraut. It
does nut merely import a Dilip to appetite, b it by
Invigorating enables the stomach to satisfy ns
wants without bodily diaturbauce, and with thor
oughness. In all disorders accompanied by a want
of tone in the digestive organs, obstruction of the
bowels and biliousness, it exerts a beneDctal In
fluence, and one speedily telt. It conquers and
prevents tne recurrence of fever and ague, and
rheumatism, checks an Increasing irregularity of
the kidneys aud bladder,and affords convalescents
and persons of delicate physique, material aid in
recovering health and vigor.

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.—

On the perception oi color and form
M. Corpentier says: “Luminous rays
have two distinct actions ou the visual
apparatus. Cue of these gives rise to
the rudiment try perception of light,and
is distributed pretty equally over all
points of the retina; the other displays
its influence with great force,ao to tpeak
on tie center of the retina, giving rise on
one hand to the sensation of O^lor, and,
on the other, to the distinction of mul
tiple luminous points.”
