To Keep Very Bhadei* Places Gbbxm.—Especislly in the front yards of dwellings, both in town and country, which are much shaded, we often see the ground completely bare, not a liv ing thing being perceptible. Sometimes there are many nearly nude, straggling hmoi lying npon tee ground or very near it, which are unsightly and every way worthless, that ought to be cut away. This would give room for the growing there of some plant or vine that would be adapted to it, and which would not only cover the naked spot and make it a living “green,’’but would be adding much to the general appear ance of the premises. The best vine for this purpose is undoubtedly the pe riwinkle. I will grow almost anywhere in the shade if the proper attention is given to it, but not otherwise. It is a beautiful vine and will densely cover the ground, producing nearly the whole season a very pretty blue flower,Weeds, however, are its deadly enemies. It can not fight them. Steadily they will enroach until they drive away our favorite and occupy the field of battle. A little help now and then, however, will defeat the common enemy, and allow us to enjoy the oool-looking, popular evergreen lor many years without renewal. Egyptian Corn.—A cereal recently introduced into Kansas and New Mexi co, it is said, was originally brought from Southern Russia. Tiie first knowledge we had of its introduction into this country, was some seed sent to us last season from San Anglos, Cali fornia, where it is sometimes called pampas rice. We planted it as soon as received, and though it grew vigorously ane obtained a good growth for oui cli mate, it failed to open. We were told that it was used in California principally as food for fowl, no meutiou being made of its use for bread. It is a cereal re sembling very much our common millet although we should think the kernel is somewhat larger. It would undoubtedly constitute a good feed for stock the same as millet does, though we have known the latter to be ground like Indian corn and med for bread, which was said to be nearly as palatable and nutritious as that made from oornmeal. If, as is sta ted, it is unaffected by drought, worms and grasshoppers and other pests, and is largely productive, we see no reason why it may not constitute a staple of production among farmers iu those states where the seasons are longer, and the climates less rigorous than iu New England. We advise our fanners to make a trial of it. DOMESTIC. To cure ingrowing nails one author ity says : Put a small piece of tallow in a spoon, heat it till it becomes very hot; and pour on the granulations. Pain and tenderness are relieved at ouoe, and in few days the granulations are all gone, the deceased parts dry, and grow destitute of all feeling, and the edge of ihe nail is so exposed as to ad mit of being pared away without any inconvenience. To make meat cheese.—Boil an ox’s liver, heart, and tongue; remove all the hard and sinewy parts, and chop the remainder fine: add to this half a pound of boiled pork, also chopped fine; season it well; then tie iu a cloth or put it into a pan, and press it hard. After standing a few hours it will come out in a solid cake and is very nice to slice from, for eating at breakfast or supper. mJMOBOUB. An hoqest man thanked : “What do hoqest m you mea^ by. such carelessness ?” ex claimed a man who entered the drug store iu a terribly excited maimer. “What do you mean by your careless ness. I say ? Ton sold my boy laud anum for paregoric, aud it was only by the luckiest chance that the baby isn’t now lying dead ; yes, sir, dead—mur dered by your criminal carelessness.” “What’s that?” said the druggist, looking up from his desk. “I sold you laudanum instead of paregoric 1 Mercy! how pould I have keen so for getful ! Of course you’ll pay the differ ence m cost. Laudanum is more ex pensive than paregoric, you know. You’ve come in to pay the difference no doubt. J’m obliged to you, sir, obliged to you.” ! A Lucky Fisherman. In the vast amount of business transac ted at the Baltimore, Md., Postofflce, Mr. Keeping Eggs. Tnere is always some risk iu keeping eggs a long time, and those not absolutely fresh will never sell well. When eggs stand long in one position the yolk gets down against the shell, ond if tnere is any evaporation, it soon either adheres to the shell or be comes a little tainted, Eggs may be greased and packed in oats in barrele headed up tight, kept cool and dry,and rolled or inverted, or both, every few days. Thus they will keep, aud when wanted for market must be rolled iu bran or meal to get the grease off, aud perhaps dipped in lime water to give them a fresh look. How long they may be kept thus we do not know, but sev eral months at least. Eggs will keep in lime water, but it is difficult to turn or roll the barrels, and so the yolk gets against the shell, and besides tbe shell looks very chalky,and their sale is hurt. The best way is, probably, to pack tbe fresh eggs iu a barrel with meal or brau setting them on end, using no grease, for the meal absorbs it aud turns ran cid. Head up the barrel and invert once a week, and keep iu a cool, dry place. It is time to forget all about old-fash ioned cookery; to seize the newest and enjoy tbe present is the watchword. The quantity and quality of one’s food is meeting with much thought and many words from the wiseacres of the present, and with their maxims and methods spread before us, one is almost afraid to attempt anything that does not savor of scientific rules. But the bright and ready housewife need not doubt her skill. Where there is a will there is a v ay, Experience is a good teacher, perseverance will bring success. “Dinner Table” introduced sauces week, but was interrupted, and recipes were left out. It was said some years since tbat we were a nation of a aud The last the siugle sauce; it msy have been so, but we are wiser now. Well made sauoea are the perfection of cooking, a decora tive art that improves plain dishes, and makes the cheaper outs of meat iuvitiug and palatable. The clarified white stock must always be ready as a basis for any sauce. With boiled poultry serve celery sauce, The celery is simmered until tender. Then make a sauce by putting a tablespoonful of butter into a sauce pan, aud when it bubbles up stir in slowiy a tablespoonful of flour. When cooked, season, and add half a pint of stock and half pint of boiling cream, and the celery cut in small pieces. Let it boil np one minute. Serve hot. The sauce can be made without the cream aud celery with a pint of boiling stock and the addition of two or three beaten yol&s of eggs, a teaspoonful of lemon juice, pepper aud salt. Baked apple pudding.—Six apples well stewed, quarter of a pound of but ter, half of it stirred into the apples while hot; add sugar to taste; when cold add six eggs well beaten to the apples.

Balancing himself against the door he asked the conductor to let him off at Crmkshank street. When Wilton avenue was reached he recog nized his destination, and, stumbling over to the bell-strap, gave ft a tre mendous tug. The conductor was irri tated. “What do you mean by jerking the bell like that—ringing it at both ends ?” he said, with rising anger. “Well—(hie)—don’t I wansh the carsh to stop—(hie)—at both ends ?” - A Lack/ Chance. Of all men no doubt the mechanic and laborer suffer more from disease than any other class—not always in tbe disease itself, but the circumstances surrounding their cases. Who can depict a mors horrifying scene than that of ths prosperous mechanic, who, by some dreadful disease, is reduced in flesh and strength, having no power of con trol, a helpless prey to some malady? Per haps the family of rho worthy man may he suffering for the necessanes of life, all be cause “father” is unable to work. Why then do not all men grapple with the first symptoms of disease (of whatever name or nature), and thereby prevent this sad picture. ThisisjustwhatMr.HiRAM Franklin,of N augatuck, Conn., did when he began to feel a heavy, dull pain in the small of nis back, which steadily grew worse until he had to do one of two things: either give up work or die, or look around for some means to cure kidney disease, and a lucky chance threw in his way a safe and certain means of de liverance. The facts in Mr. F.’s case are these: His business (mason and builder) requires him to be exposed in all sorts of weather. Re cently, from a severe cold, he contracted a disease of the kidneys, and like many others began using everything at hand. Not find ing any help, as a last resort he began taking Hunt’s Remedy. The first bottle giving de cided benefit, he continued its use until he had used three (3) bottles, when all trouble disappeared. Mr. F. is now attending to business, a well man, and recently remarked to an acquaintance: “One trial convinced me, as it will you.” We need scarcely add Hunt’s Remedy is purely vegetable, and meets a want never before furnlsbed to those suffering from kidney and liver complaint, dropsy, etc., and the utmost reliance may be placed in it.

A suggestive reflection : Calino is very sad iu thinking that his son, who is now only twelve years old, must one day leave him and enter the military service. “You have still got plenty of time before you,” said a friend, trying to console him, “and before he is of age the law may be modified.” “You are right," replied Calino, wiping away a tear. “And just think, if he were a a widow’s son he would be exempt I” What is Money Weighed against that health it so often fails to buy ? Dross indeed. While we can none of us claim a total exemption from that greateat of all Ilia to which flesh Is heir—U1 health, we may do much to lessen the chances of incurring it, and this not alone by the adoption of such sanitary measures as are to be found In dally exercise, regular hoars, prudence m eating and drinking, and a wholesome diet, bpt also by resorting to Ju- dlclons preventive medication when the system Is threatened by unhealthful Influences.
