MARCH OF THE CHILDREN
List to the sound of the drumming!
Uayly the children are coming!
Sweet as the smile of a fairy;
Fresh as the blossoms they carry:
Pride of the parents who love them;
Pure as the azure above them;
Free as the winds that caress them:
Bright as the sunbeams thai bless them.
List to the voice-echoes ringing!
Sweeter than birds they are singing:
Thoughts that to virtue invite them
Wed unto airs that delight them;
Truths that their future will cherub,
Soul-planted, never to perish!
Only to senses completer
Heaven's choicest music were sweeter.
Virtue unconscious, and pretty,
Walks through the streets of the city,
>See the gay bannerets flying!
Mottoes and titles undying;
Truths, dearly hallowed and olden,
Braided in strands that are golden;
Words for the spirit's desiring;
Sentences sweetly inspiring.
When, in a voice of carressing,
Christ gave the children His blessing,
'Twas not for ono generation.
Put for each epoch and nation.
So through the present it lingers,
Shed from His bountiful fingers;
So unto these it is givenTypes
of the angels in heaven.

As anxiety and care had ceased writing
its record of ajje upon bis face, it was
difficult to teli his age. lie had the
form of a man and the face of a child,
"It's the opinion of this crowd, Lcn,'
said the blacksmith to the idiot, "thai
you can beat that locomotive in a rac<
from here to the tunnel, and we have bei
$10,000 on it."
The poor fellow's dead face lit uj
with on expression of delight, so pitiable
that it would have disarmed any otnei
crowd than the one engaged ,in chaffinj
him. He gazed wistfully at the hugi
locomotive that stood hissing in the ho
sun as if wrathful at the delay, and thei
;" . he turned to the cruel crowd as if tb<
Duggcstion was slowly working its waj
through his poor crippled brain.
"Go*in, J.en," cried one of the crowd
"we've got our money on you, and you're
bound to win."
"We'll give you fifty yards the start
You keep on the track," cried the black
smith, "and the thing can't pass you."
I could scarcely believe these scoun
drels were in earnest, when the surl;
engineer gave the last bang to hi
noisy bell, exploded a short snort fron
the locomotive in the way of warning
and to my astonishment I saw the idio
throwing off his coat, start down th<
track ahead of the train. Fortunately
the engineer caught sight of-the poo
fellow, and checking the speed of thi
locomotive, began ringing him off tb
tractc. mis was responaeci 10 Dy in

"Come on with your old tea-kettle," am
the brutal crowd cheered, and roarc<
with laughter.
The crowd, keeping along with th
train, cheered lustily, and the lunatif
"spurted" as they say in a boat racethat
is, shot ahead and exhibited con
siderable power as a racer by the speec
with which he got over the ground. Th
engineer, infuriated at the delay, put oi
speed and rattled after. But he wa
upon a down grade, and fearful of over
talcing the unfortunate, he almost immc
diately put on the brakes and chcckec
lip again.
By this time heads were thrust out o
windows and the platforms crowded b]
passengers whose excitement be-jam
noisy and intense ns they discovered tha
it was a human being instead of a cov
that impeded their progress. As for th
idiot, he paused only loug enough to in
dulse in a jeering laugh and a gestur
that was more irritatimr than decent.

hibited more industry in accompanying
the race on this occasion than they ha(

At this moment the conductor mad*
y-J his appearance, and crawling out upoi
the tender, began throwing lumps 0
coal at the boy, as the engineer, putting
fl? on steam, drew near the pooi fellow.
Fortunately the conductors aims wen
not well taken, for had the young mai
been knocked down the locomotive woulc
have undoubtedly run over him.
From this the rough autocrat of th
train desisted, for the idiot's backers
with an American sense of fair play tha

The engineer seconded his efforts by let
ting off short shrieks and keeping thi
locomotive frightfully close upon thi
heels of the wretched youth.
Having begun life with a strange dis
position to take upon myself the ills n
others, and findiug such practice ex
tremelv unpleasant and useless, I hav<
gradually trained myself into the othei
extreme, and generally bear the mis
fortunes of my friends with a philoso
phical indifference that is very compos
ing. On this occasion, however, I forgol
my cynicism and found myself running
under that broiling sun, shaking my fist,

authoritative manner that he stop the

From the depot to the tunnel was
about a mile; to accomplish this distance
the train and idiot occupied some twentj
minutes. The passengers, crowded a!
windows and on the platforms, took a:
lively an interest in the affair as the entire
population of Glen Cove tbat ac
companied the train and backed th(
idiol. It was a godsend to the passengers,
and they expressed their satisfac
tion by the liveliest betting and cheers,
first for the locomotive and then for its
strange competitor.
It was neck and neck between life and
W the locomotive. A false step, a stumble,
and the huge mass of roaring, throbbing

IN THE TUNNEL.
The railroad station known as Glen
Cove is one of the dreariest this side ol
that final abode said to be extremely
sultry, where all presidents, directors,
nnd other railroad officials, more especially
ticket agents, fetch up and finish
their labors. Were it not so hard on
Mugby Junction, I should say Glen
Cove was the Mugby Junction of America.
Indigestion is kepi there, like field
ammunition in the quartermaster's department,
to serve out at a moment's
notice to hungry and insane passengers,
and it is safe, for the trains carry away
the suff?r#rs to die in other localities.
One hot, sunny day in midsummer 1
found myself anticipating the punishments
due for sins and shortcomings in
this world by waiting for an easternbound
train "long overdue, as if the
trains, like passengers, disliked approaching
the depot at which I suffered.
A surly telegrapher, also ticket agent,
who shot insults and tickets through a
hole at p?ople, told me after an hour's
cross-examination that was vtry cross,
lUUt 111 J IIUJU li(HI lyiuu^llb All U VVIUfield,
and I could not possibly get away
by rail before midnight.
Now, what to do with myself from
the noon of this information to the noon
of night was a question that sorely perplexed
me. I had no books, no papers,
no anything to relieve the dull monotony
of that awful time.
I wandered listlessly about the dirty
frame and platform. Both were hot
enough to roast potatoes in the shade. I
gazed on?nay, 1 studied all the colored
bills, giving picturesque views of various
towns, and telling in assorted type
the advantages each had over the other
?the only bit of amusement I had, and
it was very mild. I found in guessing
at the missing letters of a bill which
read "Iiough line to Chicago," some
scamp had cut out the initial "th" when
the bill had originally read "Through
line to Chicago."
"While upon the platform gazing at an
accommodation train just in, that was
awaiting its conductor leisurly getting
orders from the telegrapher, I was attracted
by a noisy crowd of men and
boys, gathered about a young fellow
whose face indicated the idiotic condition
that originated their entetainment.
He was a tall, broad shouldered, well
formed youth, and well dressed for one
in his condition. But he had his clothe:
half buttoned, in the loose, recklesj
manner of one of his class, while his
face, without its intellectual outlook,
was regular in feature, and one could
see, had there been a brain back of it,

fr^il tody of the man, who so strangely
impeded "its progress. And such result
was imminent; for the poor fellow, exhausted
by excitement and over exertion,
staggered at times, and at times
reeled as if about to fall, in a way to
make me shudder.
That such would probably have been
thf result became painfully apparent,
wh#n an abrupt and somewhat unextnrminntinn
was out to the Cruel
sport. The man stationed at the mouth I
of the tunnel and employed to keep its j
murky depths clear of obstructions, suddenly
seized the youth, at the risk of
his own life, and threw him with some
violence to one side. Such was the effort
that both rolled over, and the huge
locomotive, giviug a shill scream of triumph.
dived into the tunnel, followed by
the loug train, that disappeared as if
the earth had opened and swallowed it.
I sat down at the mouth of the subterranean
excavation quito exhausted as the

dark entrance was pleased to find a
cool damp air that came out in puffs, ns
if a dragon were coilod up within and
panted out its cold, clammy breath. I
asked the old watchman a scries of idle
questions, of a statistical sort, such as a
man under the circumstances always indulges
in. He grunted out the exact
length of the tunnel, the time required
to construct it, the accidents that occurred
within his remembrance, and altogether,
in response to my leading
questions, exhibited a good deal of information
on tunnels. For a man to
know one thing well is a power. It is
bettor, however, to believe you know
some one thing and impart the informa- |
tion to your friends. It is a bore at best I
and just as well when it takes the shape
of a tunnel.
Having exhausted the hole in the
ground?nnd really come to think of it,
there was nothing in it?I spoke of the
late race.
| "Crazy jackass!" quoth the sententious
guardian of the excavation; he'll git
killed yet, and sooner the better for all

"Why, do they often put him up to
. that?"
"No, not frequent. They do it on
. that train sometimes, lor tliey nate tne
conductor. Once, long ago, it wasn't
needed. He used to run ahead of every
train, clear through the tunnel, a warn!
in' people off. They switched that out

, him up to it."
' Queer 6ort of insanity."
' Isn't it?" and he was onct a bright
feller?a rale schollard."
"Indeed?"
"Yes, wns onct, but left his senses in

"Why, how was that?"

3 IVliat Coral Is.
This single coral animal (quite unlike
^ an insect, and it is quite time for books
to omit tha4. designation?coral insect)
" is like the sea anemones, Actinias, or sea]
flowers, some species of which we sec on
the rocks of our northern co st. It is u
* small tube of flesh, with a stomach, and
tentacles surrounding it, which move
c about in scach of food and conduct it to
? the mouth. The nervous system and
blood system arc of the most simple
kind. Of course, in a creature so low in
B J the scalc of life, there is 110 head, nor
! are there special organs of sense, such as
for seeing and hearing. They are popu'
larly called anitnal flowers. This little
* ! creaturc soon develops a lmrd covering
; or shell, secreting from its exterior n
! shell from the lime which is held in soj
lution by the sea-water, just as the clam
or an}- shell fish secretes the lime which
makes their shells. And these lime coverings
are analogous to the skeletons of
higher animals, though in on3 case the
lime skeleton is inside, in tlu: other outside.
After a little the soft young coral,
having settled itself upon a solid footing
f on the bottom of the sea, like myriads of
others around it, exhibits a white cal,
careous coating on portions of it, and in
' a short time has deposited from its soft
exterior and partitions of its interior a
solid lime tube with dividing walls.
_ j This is a coral "pure nnd simple." A
h great block many feet in diameter is no
* j more than simply a congregation of many
' j of these. "When the little single coral is
| perfect in its lime tube, it buds, and in|.
creases itself therein', adding constantly

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Cultivation of Corn. t
In reports of experiments lor 1883, *
Professor Shelton, of the Kansas State 1
Agricultural college at Mauhattan, 1
frnvn details of nn pvnerimcnt. in subsoil- 1
ingcorn ground. This irial seemed to 1
show that the subsoiling was in every 1
case a partial injury, every subsoiling 1
plat giving a lower yield of corn than
the average yield of plats which were <
simply plowed to the ordinary depth of <
six inches. The subsoiling feature of 1
this experiment were repeated Inst season s
ou different ground, upon which also the
practice of close and deep cultivation of
corn was compared with superficial cultivation.
The soil on which last season's
experiments were tried is of strong clay ]
of moderate fertility. Following is, in 1
brief, Professor Shclton's report of these
more recent experiments.
In the subsoiling plats the subsoiler, j
working to a depth of four inches, followed
the stirring plow, which cut a six- !
and-a-lialf inch deep furrow; so that the 1
ground in the subsoiled plats was stirred
to the depth of ten and a half inches. 1
Upon four other plats different inetli- s
ods of cultivating the growing corn *
were employed. These plats were culti
vatcd?the ordinary one-horse cultivator
being used?four times, at intervals of 1
about ten days. At the first cultivation 1
all plats were lightly dressed out, the 1
cultivator passing twice in each row. '
At the subsequent operations two of the
plats were cultivated quite superficially
and but once in a row; while in the
other two the cultivator was made to
pass twice in each row very close to the
rows of com and to the depth of nearly
five inches. In these last-mentioned
plats the ground was literally churned
by the cultivator, and at each operation
the implement brought to the surface
great quantities of white, fibrous rootlets
torn from the corn plants.
The result of subsoiling agreed with
those of the year before, showing that
very deep tillage is not advantageous,
even upon strong clay lands, during favorable
seasons. In a season of drought,
Prof. Shclton believes different results
from these might be expected.
I The cxjMjriment appeared to show also
that thfc methods usually reckoned
injurious, as, for instance shallow plowing
and very deep and closed cultivation
of tall, well-grown corn, had no unfavorable
influence upon the crop. It seemed
to be sufficient in a Kansas cornfield of
ordinary productiveness that the ground
nhnll recuivc moderate cultivation and be '
kept free from weeds, nnd if these conditions
be complied with, the soil and
season will do the rest.?New York World.
Farm and Garden Note*.
Keep tho hoc bright by using it.
''Better to wear out than to rust out."
Wreak out vengeance on the weeds.
Clean culture during the entire season is 1
the rule. 1
Don't crowd in the garden. Plants i
need an abundance of air, sun and room. '
They grow better by having these requis- ^
ites. 1
Potatoes, -when cut in small pieces, 1
should not be dropped far in advance of {
the coverer, especially in a warm, sun- 1
shiny day. The seed is very seusitivc to 1
heat, and even the mid-day sun's rays '
will on dry soils destroy itg vitality.
One of the advantages from harrowing 1
com is that a man with a smart team will
run over fifteen acres or more per clay. 1
The smoothing harrow takes a width of '
eleven feet, and as only scratching the
surface is desired no lapping is needed. <
Corn and potatoes may often be top- 1
dressed to advantage after planting, pro- 1
viding fine manure is used. The culti- !
vation of these crops during the season
will mix the manure with the soil much ;
more perfectly than it could be if plowed
under.
"One and a-half bushels by measure
of oats is enough seed to tne acre on land
in condition to seed to grass. In au ex- '
periencc covering many years," says the
Maine farmer, "in our own practice, as
heavy crops have resulted as formerly
under heavier seeding.''
Dry sour cheese is the result of several
things; it may be occasioned by the use
of sour whey m the preparation of the
rennet; or, it may be caused by permitting
the curd to remain in the whey too
long; or, again it may be occasioned by
hurrying the curind to press too soon.
The potato loves cool, moist soil and
is an exception to the general rule that
shallow planting is best. Late in the
season especially, deeper planting is desirable.
The tubers will be down far
enough so that they will not be greened
by the sun, nor will it be necessary to ,
earth up the hills as is often done.
The principal value of bones is owing
to the quantity of phosphates they con- :
tain, as these salts are largely removed
lrom tne sou oy tne teeaing 01 cattle ana
by successive crops. Thqsc salts remain
after the bones have been deprived of '
their fatty substance by the soap boiler,
though much of the nitrogen is lost.
Good crops of beets may be grown on
any land rich enough and in suitable
tilth for corn. Drilled in rows two feet
and eight or ten inches apart, much of ,
the work may be done by horse hoes.
But the thinning must be done with the
hand hoc. and unless properly attended ,
to in time the best crop will not amount :
to much.
A plow to run easily for cither man or
team should be set so that the bottom of
the plow will rest Hat, the point neither
turning down nor up. Some farmers ;
never get the hang of adjusting steel 1
plows, and we have known them to
throw aside valuable implements as
worthless for lack of a little skill in adjusting
them to run easily.
Some kind of forage should be sown
now, so that stock may be kept off the
nflw si'Pflinrr nf rrrnss nnrl rlnvor nftor I
the graiu is harvested. The damage
from cropping clover when it is only
three or four months old from the seed
is so great that a farmer had better purchase
the most expensive grains as feed
rather than turn his stock on it.
In the general uncertainty about pota
to seed most farmers are likely to planmore
than will give the best resultst
Some good farmers make a practicc of
planting liberally and then thinning to
one or two shoots in cach hill. With
the less vigorous varieties, one strong
shoot will furnish more potatoes of marketable
size than would be got by leaving
more.
The corn plant is a strong feeder and j
will make use of almost any kind of plant ;
food. Decomposed barnyard manure, j
hog manure and sheep dung are especially j
vnli.ohln fin enmr? crtilc nlocfnr nrrtvnc
w.. |,.vs,vo
bcncficial. Aslics arc excellent for this
crop. Chemical fertilizers, either a
special formula for corn or the complete
mauurc, almost always give good results.
The quantity of manure to be applied to
the acre depends upon circumstances.
Several farmers recommend the following
for harness dressing: One gallon of
neat's foot oil, two pounds of beeswax,
four pounds of beef tallow. Put the
above in a pan over a moderate fire.
When thoroughly dissolved add two
quarts of castor oil, then, while on the
tire, stir in one ounce of lamp black.
Mix well, strain thiough a fine cloth to
remove the sediment, and let cool. Half
this amount may be made by observing
the proper proportions.
The reason for a rotation of crops is
that no two plants of different kinds require
the same substances in the same
proportion for their nourishment. The
grains and grasses may soon exhaust the
supply of silica. These should, therefore,
not immediately succeed each other in
rotation. They ought to be followed by
a crop which needs less of silica but more
of potash or some other mineral salts. A
field which would not yic!d a good secoud
crop of wheat may, even without
manure, give a good crop of clover, of
turnips or of carrots.
A correspondent who professes to know
says six quarts of liquid, be it what it i
may, is enough for the calf. More than
this will cause the abdomen to fall. But

should it be given to them without beiDg
warmed to the same temperature of the
mother's milk. 1
A)though salt is not geneially a fertilizer,
it produces similar effects byren- '
doring soluble latent fertility in the soil. <
Its use to promote the growth of crops is
increasing, and for a time on tolerably
rich soil it may take the place of real |
mauures when the price of crops is too <
! low to allow large purchases of the latter, i
| It is a mistake to suppose that refuBe <
! salt, consisting of coarse, hard lumps <
mixed with dirt and gypsum, is cheaper
than fine salt. The opening of new salt
wells has made salt very cheap, and fine r
salt at a dollar or little more per barrel t
is enough better for the land to give it 1
the preference. <

Household Hints and Recipes.
Camphor, which is so much used to
preserve furs, will keep away moths, but
t also impairs the beauty of the furs by |
:urning them light.
Rest before meals makes digestion
nore complete. Exertion immediately
before mea's retards digestion, and excrjrtion
immediately afterward deranges
it.
Butter kept in tubs or earthen vessels
jhould be packed closely. It begins to
poil quickly whenever there is a vacant
ipncc, and the whole tub will soon
become strong and worthless.
A copper teakettle may be brightened
ind kept from tarnish by rubbing it
ivith salt and vinegar till it shines, then
washing it thoroughly in hot suds and
Snnby polishing it wi'.h sifted coal ashes.
The prudent housewife, who, on account
of hard times, has decided not to
epaper the sitting room, as desirable,
ivill find the old paper very much imlroved
in appearance by simply rubbing
t well with a flannel cloth dipped in
)atmeal.

When potatoes are old, peel them and
let them lie an hour or two in cold water
before boiling. They should be boiled
in hot wnter with a little salt in it; as
little water ns possible should be used.
It is desirable to have it all dry away by
the time the potatoes arc done. Cover
them with a towel, take them to tho

the pot be put in a warm place so that the
temperature of the water is kept at 158

for giving to tho meat the qualities
that best fit it for being eaten." By
this meiins the meat is both wholesome
and palatable, as it keeps all its nourishing
properties.
Tests for Impmitlcs in Water.
To know whether water is hard or soft,
dissolve a little white soap in alcohol,
ana add a few drops of the water
under investigation. If the alcohol turns
milky, the water is hard; if either unaltered
or simply cloudy, it is soft.
To detect a copper percentage add a
little filing dust of soft iron to the water,
leave it in for a few minutes, and add a
few drops of sal ammoninc. A blue colonization
betrays the presence of copper.
Sulphur combinations are detecied by
adding a little water to the murcury in
the bottle; this is closed and left to stand
for a few hours. If the mercury assumes
a darker surface, and, upon shaking separates
into gray powder, it is a sign that
the water contains sulphur combinations.
Dissolved pure lime is proven by adding
one or two crystals of oxalic acid
to the water. A milky precipitate betrays
the presence of lime.
Sulphate of lime (gypsum) is recognized
by the white precipitate caused l>y
r-VilnriHo i\f lmrinm in thp Bftlnt.inn. Thfi
precipitate is not redissolved by nitric
acid.
Alkalies and alkaline earths are detected
as follows: Blue I-itmus paper is
colored feebly red with dilu'e vinegar,
and dipped into the corresponding water.
If the former blue color is restored
the water is alkaline.
An iron percentage is recognized by
a few drops of nutgall decoction, which
are added to the water. If iron is present
the water assumes an inky gray to
black color. Also one drop of solution
of ferrocyanide of potassium coiors ferruginous
water blue.
To detect magnesia the water is to be
heated to boilimr. and the point of a
knife full of carbonate ammouia and a
little phosphate of soda arc added. If
the magnesia is present it is precipitated.
Acids are ascertained by dipping a
small piece of iitmus paper in the water.
A red colorization betrays their presence.
Water for carbonating or domestic

Something about sweets.
PROGRESS OP THEIR HiVUFAOTTJUTi
IN THIS COUWTRT.
Delicacies tliat Delijrht the Palate*
of l'outh?Vegetable Colors Taking
the Place of Poisonous Oues*
The last thing a child inquires about
is how the suaar-plum it snaps up with
some avidity is made. Yet the manufacture
of these delicacies?I had almost
said necessaries?of the nursery is a thing
worth witnessing. Formerly all the
higher class came from France and Germany,
where for ages they have been famous
for their delicacies. But since the
introduction of steam into their fabrication
these articles arc now made on the
largest scale in this country, and arc
vastly cheapened since the days when we
used to spend our last penny in taffy.
The rude style of old is also gone. The
eye must now be satisfied as well as
the palate, even in the cheapest items.
Think of the one-cent sweets done
up in a ruby-colored gelatine packet.
There was color, it is true, iu some
of the more showy sweets of old, but it
was metallic color, containing the most
virulent poison. An analysis of this painted
confectionary, published in a medical
journal some years ago, exposed the villainous
manner in which this vividly
colored sweetmeat was made attractive
to the children by poisonous paint. The
brighter the hu? the more deadly the
8\veet. The brilliant green, ior lnsiuuuu,
with which the toy confectionary was
adorned, contained arsenic of copper.
One can quite understand the bad name
sweets acquired when thus made up.
There was vermilion in the reds, of
course, and gamboge and chromate of
lead in the yellows. No doubt many
young children were absolutely killed by
plentifully partaking of these artistically
poisoned comfits. The analysis of that
medical paper has delivered us from this
cause of infantile trouble. Nothing but
harmless vegetable colors arc now used,
which, if not so brilliant as metallic
ones, are quite safe.
A large New York establishment,
which ordinarily employs some ninety
persons, about the commcncemcnt of
December requires the services of almost
double that number, the majority of
whom are engaged in making bonbons
by the million until the turn of the new
year. The entire underground portion
of the nrcmises is devoted to the manu
facture of sweetmeats. On descending
the stone staircase one finds one's self in
a stifling atmosphere, too heavily laden
with the aroma of vanilla and other essences.
Around are scores of workmen,
their faces lighted up by the red glare of
numerous furnaces, busily engaged
in plunging particular fruits into
large caldrons filled with boiling syrups.
More iu the shade arc other stalwartlooking
men, their countenance made
pallid by the intensely heated atmosphere,
piling up almonds, etc., on huge
copper vessels, and so constant is tho
sound of metal that the visitor might
imagine himself in an aimor smithy Instead
of a sweetmeat factory, among
workmen making bonbons for women
and children to crunch. On all sides
are piles of sugar barrels, gallons of
liquors, syrups and essences?kirsch,
wine, aniseed, maraschino, curacao, pineapple,
apricot, strawberry, cherry, vanilla,
chocolate, coffee and tea?with sacks
of almonds and baskets of chestnuts,
pistachio nuts and filberts being emptied
into machines which bruise their husks,
flay them and blanch them all ready to
receive their saccharine coating.
Most bonbons are made by hand; oiiiy
those which arc flat on the bottom are
cast in molds. In the hand made bonbons
the sugar paste is rolled into shape
by the aid of an instrument formed of a
stout piece of wire, one end of which is
twisted and the other lixed into a wooden
handle. With this the paste is taken
out of the caldron and worked into the
desired form by a rapid stroke of the
hand. For bonbons of a particular
form, such as those in imitation of fruits,
etc., models arc carved in wood. A certain
number of these, say from fifty to
sixty, are fixed on a narrow strip of
wood, and the confectioner takes
molds of them in starch, contained
in a series of large, shallow
drawers. As soon as the molds
becomc dry they are filled with liquid
sugar, already colored and flavored, after
which the drawer is put on one side for
twenty-four hours, when the bonbons
are ready for sale. The delicate sweets,
containing some csseuocs, such as pineapple,
ctc., arc always cast in starch
molds. It puzzles older heads than those
of children to know how this drop of
delicious liquid gets into the center of
the sweet. Like many other puzzling
matters, it is very easily explained. The
flavoring essence is mixed with the liquid
sugar, and when poured into the mold
the latter crystalizes immediately over
the former. These essences, so nice to
the taste, are the most remarkuble ex
ampies 01 tne power oi cnemisirj iu
transform very repugnant materials into
delicacies. Fusel oil is the base of the
pcarcssencc, and pineapple essence is obtained
by diluting ether with alcohol.
The chemist in his laboratory, with great
cunning, manufactures scores of these
essences, which arc supposed to be the
veritable product of delicate fruits. Some
of the pretty forms that are made to
take the fancy of the little ones are simply
punched out of Hat films of sugar rolled;
some arc cast, some are pressed into
shape when soft between engraved rollers.
The drops and sweets that arc quite
clear arc boiled so long that the water
has evaporated out of them. Such
sweets must be immediately bottled up,
or preserved from th? air, otherwise they
absorb water and becomc semi-liquid.
Barley sugar is an example in point.
If it is not hermetically sealed
down in tins, it deliquesces, and loses
all its crispncss. It is as well to know
that this is the purest of all sweets?being
absolutely clarified sugar, and therefore
the most wholesome for children.

the most open to sophistication. They
should be made of crushcd white sugar,
mixed into a paste with gum. But the
tcmpation to adulterate is too great for
the dishonest dealer to resist; consequently,
in order to supply tho market
one-half plaster paris is mixed with inferior
sugar. One can quite understand
\he sickness that overtakes children
sometimes after sucking those cemfits.
The wonder is that such a mass of plaster
does not interfere more signally with
their digestion. Jujubes, those flexible
lozenges which stick so in the teeth,
contain a large portion of gum. They
arc poured into tins to cool, standing for
several hours, sliced into sheets, and
then cut by scissors into tho well-known
diamond shapes.
The veritable sugar-plum, or ti.monddrop,
is made in a very interesting manner.
A. number of almonds, after being
coated with a little gum to catch tho
white sugar, arc thrown into a deep pan
surrounded with steam. This pan revolves
sideways at an angle of forty-five
degrees. As it revolves,the almonds, of
course, tumble over one another, and
while they arc doing so the workman
pours over them from time to
time liquid while su^rar allowing
a sufficient time to ciapse
between each supply for the sugar to
harden upon the comfit. In this way it
grows by the imposition of layer upon
layer until it is the proper size. By this
simple motion the sugar is deposited in
the smoothest and most regular manner.
(Jirls arc largely employed in the sugarplum
trade. They are quick and stick
well to their work, but they have a sweet
tooth and help themselves to the lozengers
pretty liberally. As is it is impossible
to stop petty pilfering they arc given
liberty to cat as much as they like.
The manufacture of the surprise nuts
is done with the utmost speed by those
little workwomen. The nut is first
opened by means of a rose cutter: the
kernel is then cleared out with a penknife,
the hollow is filled with seedsweets,
and the hole by which they have
been introduced, is scaled with chocolate.
It is great fun, of course, when
you have crocked a nut to find your
mouth full of these small sugar seeds,
whether you expect the surprise or not.
In one part of the establishment I camo
upon the little artists coloring the small
articles cast in sugar. It was all vegetable
color, of course, and quite harmless.
There is no great artistic talent required
in the coloring operations they
have to perform and it is too cheaply
paid to be very carefully done, but, however,
poor they may be as works of art,
they are not unwholesome, which was far
from being the case a few years ngo, before

The Cook In the Orient.
A Chinese cook is taught to utilize all
the odds and ends of the kitchen. He
takes the feet of ducks and ehickens
(which in this country are universally
thrown away), and prepares them into
dishes similar, but superior to pig's feet
and calves' head. The bones and sinews
of meat are kept as with us, for the
stock-not: all fat-containing matter is
carefully tried out. The fat is drained
off and set aside; tho cracknel left is
dried, compressed, salted, nnd used as
an appetizing food. Economy can go
to no greater length than in the treatment
of the watermelon. The pulp is
used as with us. The rind is boiled or
sauted, producing a green pulp, like
summet-squash in flavor and smoothness;
it is also pickled, sweet-pickled and
preserved. Tho seeds are washed and
thoroughly dried. They are used like
almonds, aftei dinner, and as the basis
for many cakes, confections and preserves.
The peel of orange and lemon is always
saved. Some i? dried and grated, some
preserved or candied, and some used to
give a mild perfume to closets and wardrobes,
containing wearing apparel.
The scientific fact, that long boiling
or steaming, under pressure, will soften
many vegetables, which would otherwise
be uneatable, has long been taken advantage
of in the East. The pea-pod is
cooked, as well as the pea, and makes a
delicious and wholesome dish. Bam
boo-shoots are steamed until they are almost
ready to fall apart; they arc then
dried and arc ready for almost instant
use. The woody fibre has been changed
to a fine semi-pulp.
The Chinese love of economy is well
illustrated in the roasting of poultry and
meats. In the Caucasian civilization,
this is almost invariably effected, by suspending
the articlc to be cooked over the
tire. The roasting is accomplished, but
the juices and fat are lost in whole or in
greater part. Among the Chinese the
articles arc suspended in a fire-pit over a
dripping pan. The fire is built on the
side, and the flame and heated gasscs
have to pass around and over the articles,
in order to escape into the chimney flue.
Every drop of juice and fat is caught in
the dripping-pan, and thus utilized,
Another instance of Mongolian ingenuity
is the separation of fats into
their component elements. The fat
is melted over a slow fire strained
and filtered, whilo very hot. It is then
allowed to cool very slowly. At a certain
point (I think 105 degrees Fahrenheit),
the fat separates into a whitish
yellow, 6olid fat, and a yellowish oil.
The former is good for keeping meats
nir-tight, as it is solid, cxcept in the hottest
tropical weather; the latter is the
best substance we have for frying. When
made from fine suet, it is sweeter and
purer than the best olive oil.
In the utilization of odds and ends,
the Chinese cook labels each and everything.
The oil used in flavoring a dish,
is kept in one can; that for frying, in a
second; that for frying fish or onions, in
a third and fourth.
Garbage, proper, is never allowed to
remain in the Oriental kitchcn. In the
country it is given to the pigs; in the
city, it is immediately burned. As a
matter of luck (and probably to keep
away the mice), a Chinese cook wants
one or more cats in his kitchen. In the
tropics, where insect life is tumultuous,
he keeps a half-dozen lizards upon the
walls and ceiling. ? Wong C/iinj'oo, in

Paper Napkins.
A great many napkins and other articles
of usefulness are now made in Europe
from the bark of the paper mulberry.
The bark for these purposes is
first dried in the air for two or three
days, then plunged for twenty-four hours
into a current of fresh water, after
which, with the aid of a particular kind
of cord, the two species of fibers of
which it is composed are separated. The
interior fibers are those from which fine
paper is made; they are rolled into balls
weighing about thirtv-fivc pounds each,
which arc washed anew in running
water, in which they arc allowed to sonic
for a shorter time thnn previously, nnd
are then dried; finally they arc boiled in
lye made from the ashes of buckwheat
Hour, constant stirring being kept up;
another washing in pure water carries
away the last impurities, and the fibers
are next pounded with hammers of wood
for about twenty minutes; after this they
are a second time rolled into balls,
and finally transformed into pulp, rice
water being mixed with it. The subsequent
treatment of tho pulp is identical
with that of the ordinary manufacture
of paper. It would be a very good thing
if paper napkins could be brought into
general use in this country, particularly
in hotels, restaurants and at other public
tables. ? Cook.

Bay of New York this emblematic statue
should flash a welcome to the world.
The press is entitled to the credit of this
achievement. Mr. Philip Beers, who has
been making: a circuit of the country on behalf
of the Pedestal fund, says that the fund
will certainly be raised, as the World does
not know the word fail.
Mr. Beers says that he has found the most
pronounced generoeity among those of foreign
birth. They seem more appreciative of
liberty than do our native born. Moreover,
among some a strange prejudice seems to exist
"Prejudice? In what particularf
"I have ever found that however meritorious
a thing may be, thousands of people
will inevitably be prejudiced against it 1
have spent most of my life on the rood and 1
know the American people 'like a book.' In
1871# a personal misfortune illustrated this
prevailing prejudice. I was veiy ill, had suffered
for soveral years with headache, fickle
appetite, dreadful backache, cramps, hot
head, cold hands and foet and a general break
down of the system. I dragged
myself back to New York, seeking
tha best professional treatment. It so
happens that among my relatives is a distinguished
physician who upbraided me
roundly for preaching so much about my
own case. Finally, with some spirit, I re
marked to him:
" 'Sir, you know that much of your professional
wisdom is pretense. You are controlled
by prejudice. You cannot reach a case
like mine and you know it, can you?'"
"I had him; and he Anally conceded the
point, for it was bright's disease of the kidneys
which had prostrated me, and the schoolmen
admit they cannot cure it Having cured
myself, however, in 1879, and not having seen
a sick day since, my relative Anally admitted
that Warner's safe cure, which accomplished
this result, was really a wonderful preparation.
Had President Rotter, of the CentralHudson
used it, I am certain he would be
alive to-day, for he could not have been in a
worse condition than I was."
"I have found similar prejudices among all
classes concerning even so laudable a scheme
as this pedestal fund."
Mr. Beers's experience and the recent de,\th
of President Rutter, of the Central-Hudson
railroad, of an extreme kidneiy disorder,
proves that the physicians have no real
power over such diseases, and indicates
the only course one should pursue if, as the
late Dr. VVillard Parker says, headache,
sickness of the stomach, dropsical
swellings, back ache, dark and
offensive fluids*, prematurely impaired eyesight,
loss of strength and energy occur, for
they unmistakably indicate a fatal result, if
not promptly arrested.

again disappear, to rejoin the herd just
about corralling time. When the calves

occupied uy younger caives. vjiub x uusired
to see the young calves, and I rode
into the grass to hunt for them. After
an assiduous search I found one calf
lying prone on the earth, with its head
nnd ncck extended and pressed into the
thick mat of old gTass that lay on tbo
ground. The little creature lay perfectly
quiet watching my horse. Jt did not
so much, as wink its dark eyes
.when I dismounted and extended
my hand toward it. I leaned over it. It
watched me intently, but did not stir. I
dropped my hand on its head. Instantly
it was on its feet and calling loudly for
protection, calling that the wolf, its
mother hnd tolrl of. had come. I heard
twenty mother cows bellow in answer to
the calf's call that they were coming.
The dry grass 6uapped and cracked in ali
directions as the m tddened cows rushed
wildly to their young. I mounted my
horse and quickly rode away from that
spot.. Kach cow ran id a direct line to
the plnce where Its calf was hidden. The
entire herd rushed into the cover to do
battle for the calf. What an uproar
there was! Cows, steers, bulls, nil calling
loudly to one another in angry, excited
tones. I had a foolish setter dog
with me, -and he had to mix himself into
the trouble, me nrst cow mat saw Dim
bellowed to the others that she saw the
wolf. They all pursued him, and he,
doglike, fed to me for protection, and
my own cows cave me a brisk chase as I
galloped over tho prairie. The herd
were excited and angry for hours. I do
not believe that a young calf has a particle
of scent, and I nlso believe that the
cows know this to be so. At any rate,
they are willing to leave their offspring
out of the corrals over night in a wolfinfested
country, once they have hidden
them and bade them be still.

The Romance or a Rose.
In nn articlc on moss roses, Land and
Water tells a very curious tale as to the
discovery of tho variety known as the
White Provence, La Blanche, or Unique.
Mr. Daniel Grimond, of Little Chelsea,
nurseryman, was on a journey of business
in the county of Norfolk, exactly
110 years ago, when riding very leisurely
along the road he perccivcd a rose of
cjruat whiteness in a mill. He alighted,
and on close inspection discovered it to
bo a Provence rose, lie sought an interview
with the inmate of the mill, who
was an elderly woman, and begged a
(lower, which was instantly given to him.
Tho old lady must, no doubt, have
been considerably surprised at being in
turn presented with a guinea. ''In
- -f .1.. il )?
Gliding Ul IUU Iiuni-I, ou tuua i iic
ta e, which lifts been recorded by
the lato Mr. Henry Shnilcr, of Battersca
Fields, "Mr. Grimood cut three
buds, and on arriving nt the nearest inn
he packed up the flower nnd sent it directly
to Chelsea," addressed to his fore
man, who was no other than the father
of the same Mr. Shailer who now relates
the story. Two of the buds grew, and
in the following autumn the llorist went
down to Norfolk again, and bought the
whole stock for live guineas. The foreman
was then allowed to propagate it,
and for doing so was paid five shillings
a jilant for three years. At the expiration
01 inai nine ioc piitms were suiu out ?i
a gninea apiece, the foreman's share ol
the profits amounting to .?300. Not the
least pleasant part of this pleasant litti*
"romance of a rose" is the fact that th<
old lady who had been the unconsciou!
discovercr of a grand secret in horticul
ture was gratified by receiving out of th?
proceeds of tho undertaking a hanlsoim
i present, consisting of a silver tankard
and other plate to the value of ?00.London

An exchange says: "If your spoons
arc stained from eggs, rub them with a

, _ An Important Arrest.
i The arrest of a suspicions character opoo
his general appearance, movements or companionship,
without waiting until he has
robbed a traveler, find a house, or murdered
a fellow-man, is an important function of a
; shrewd detective. Even more important is
:the arrest of a disease which, if not checked,
.will blight and destroy a human life. The
(frequent cough, loss of appetite, general
'languor or debility, pallid skin, and bodily
aches and pains, announce the approach of
Ipulmonary consumption, which is promptly
arrested and permanently cured by Dr.
Pierce's " Golden Medical Discovery." Sold
