Preparing Renner.
Mr. L. Barnnm's method of preparing
rennet is as follows: Put a given number
of rennets into a cask of sufficient
size to hold the liquor", fill the cask
one-half full of water, adding all salt
used in curing the rennets ; let them
soak forty-eight hours, rubbing them '
thoroughly ; take the skins out into a
pail of brine; let them soak in this 1
f iron fw-fnti p linn wo wnKKinnr fltOVYI HA. *
V??VUVJ-iUUl JJVUin, iuwuiiig vuvm WW casioually
; test this liquor; if it will 1
coagulate milk readily in thirty minutes, 1
add it to liquor in the cask, putting the
skins into new brine ; repeat this oper- ]
ation, carefully testing the liquor each
time ; as long as it will coagulate milk
add it to the liquor in the cask ; when
all the strength has been extracted from (
theskins, throw them away?bury them. (
You now have a cask of prepared rennet.
A certain number of ounces to '
1,000 pounds of milk will coagulate it 1
in from twenty to twenty-five minutes. |
There being no skins in it, it will keep ,
sweet as long as pork or beef-brine, if
sufficient salt has been used. Enough i
may be prepared in the spring to last
the entire season. It is a great saving <
of rennet, as the exact strength is al- ,
ways known; no more need be used than :
is necessary to coagulate the milk, ll j
also extracts the entire strength from |
the skins, which is not apt to be the t
case when the skins are allowed to remain
in the first liquor, and new skins (
and whey added each day.
Clean the Cellar*. J
How many of -our readers cleaned
their cellars this spring. We know it 1
has been a busy time?that the spring's
work has been crowded into a short '
space of time. But then neither the I
health of your family nor the profits
to be derived from the milk you may 1
produce will warrant neglect of this
matter. Whole tubs of butter and
thousands of them have been spoiled 1
this spring, "since the hot weather came,
by good housewives being compelled to
set their milk in filthy cellars?in cellars .
where are decuying vegetables and fruit
and the accumulated filth of the winter.
No milk should go into a cellar in such
a cond'tion. You had a great deal
better pour it from the milk-pail as it
comes from the cow into the pig-trough
or feed it to the calves. For if it is
set in a cellar filled with gases, escaping <
from decomposing vegetables, fruit,
&o., it will absorb and retain every
odor, which will be imparted to the but-1
ter made frcm it and affect the flavor j
thereof. Already we have seen in the !
market this cellar-tainted butter.
'Better by far churn the milk as it comes
from the cow without waiting for the
cream to rise than do so absurd a thing
as load it with the odors of a filthy cellar.

stone building containing 3,000 shops,
in which the sales are made. One
hundred and forty-five million dollars';
worth of wares anil goods were brought
to last yeur's fair, and out of that immense
quantity only $20,000,000 worth

It is maintained that tbe inferior
* quality of certain kinds of wheat and
rye flour is frequently due to the action
of sunlight on the flour ; even when in 1
bags or barrels the gluten experiences a
change similar to that occasioned by
heating in the mill. The tendency
thus imparted to it, to become lumpy,
and to form dough without toughness,
is similar to that of flour from moist
grain, or flour when it is too fresh, or
made from grain ground too early, or
when adulterated with cheaper barley
meal. Such flour can be improved by
keeping for some weeks.

Shanghai-lug Emigrants,

Shipping Them a* Regular Shellback*.
The public will learn with surprise a
the present moment that the "shanghai
ing" of emigrants for sailors is beinj
carried on to a large extent in New Tori
city, says a local papers The opening
of navigation in the lakes has had th<
effect of draining from the port a larg<
number of men, who prefer engaging ii
that trade to embarking in long Bea voy
ages. This, combined with the incon
veniences produced by the open wa:
between United States Commissione:
Duncan and the sailors' boarding housi
masters, has created an almost nnprece
dented demand for the services o
"Poor .Tank." anil rnsea and deceotiom
of all kinds have been practiced to pu
sailors, real or affected in character
upon outgoing American vessels, ant
to obtain their advanced notes. Withii
the last few weeks a wholesale systen
of fraud has been, carried on by a largt
number of the sailors' boarding housi
proprietors, who "shanghai" men in th<
following fashion:?The great hunting
ground for the embryo sailor is Casth
Garden, where any amount of unem
ployed labor can be daily seen, strolling
round the place, and listlessly watching
the passing shipping. The boarding
house man will probably introduce him
self to some recently arrived emifpant
and after wishing him "good day" wil
inquire if he (the victim) would like tt
work h's passage out to San Francisco
Naturally the man replies "yes," ant
the pair go off to a boarding house
generally situated in the Cherry stroe
slums. On their way there it is explain
ed to him that his duties on board thi
ship will be quite nominal, merely tt
attend to the captain's table?but tha
it is necessary he should be dressed ai
a sailor before he is shipped. Accord
ingly a sailor's overalls is obtained
whale a sheath knife and belt supple
ment the deception. Meanwhile tin
name of the emigrant is being signet
at the office of the United States Ship
ping Commissioner as willing ant
capable of proceeding on a voyage t<
, on board the vessel, and to sun
up in a word his name is affixed to th<
shipping articles by some authorizet
forger, who has not the remotest inten
tion of shipping. When the hour come
for the departure of the vessel, news ii
sent rouna among the boarding houses
and a few hours afterwards the emi
grants find themselves installed a
sailors on board an outgoing vessel. I
is no stretch of imagination to say tha
these men are shanghaied. As soon ai
their useless character is discovered th<
men are^rery often beaten as frauds b;
the infuriated master or officers, wh<
find that they are saddled with "greei
hands," perfectly useless for the naviga
tion of the vessel. The emigrant Audi
himself bound, perhaps, for Liverpoo
on a "liner,'' insteaciot ine racinc 6iope
lb addition to Vimself, he often findi
other "gr6en hands," who are defraud
ed of the advance notes given to then
as sailors, and are treated all the voy
age like dogs, and discharged at th<
first port the vessel touches at as im
posters.
Getting Rid of Spots.

Dio Lewis says in answer : I have n<
ioubt whatever that your opinion abou
the agency of the Jiver is entirely cor
rect, and this opinion receives suppor
from the pains about your shoulder
blades. The treatment, I presume
should be about the following :
1. Very little grease, no pies, oakeso
sweetmeats, and a profusion of th<
fruits, grapes, &c., with which Cali
fornia abounds.
2. A regular morning bath, with soaj
and water, accompanied with muoh fric

up and fined recently, with the rein

the prison accommodations, and if th<
crusade is continued, the cattle-poum
or some other spacious enclosure wil
have to be utilized for their confine
ment. A few were inclined to pay th
fines imposed, but were prevented froc
doing so by the commands of the lead

declared in substance that they wouli

That Corded Bedstead.
1 Why Will Mother*-in-l>aw Inilit ob ]
Sleeping in Them 1
t It is a little singular that your wife's
- mother will persist in sleeping on a
; corded bedstead. But she does. Tou
i don't think so much of this until you
J are called upon to put it up, which event
0 generally takes place in the evening.
9 The bedstead has been cleaned in the
1 afternoon, and, having been Boaked
- through with hot water, is now ready
. for putting up. Your wife holds the
r lamp, and takes charge of the conversation.
The rope has been underwater
r several times in the course of the clean9
ing, and having swollen to a diameter
. greater than the holes in the rails, has
f also got into a fit of ooiling up into
} mysterious and very intricate forms.
? You at first wonder at this, but pretty
soon wonder ceases to be a virtue, and
| you then scold. The thread which has
j been wound around the end of the rope,
j to facilitate its introduction in the holes,
j has come off, and you have to roll it up
3 again. Then, after you have pulled it
j tnrougn eignt noies, your wiie raaaes
. the discovery that you have started 1
j wrong. The way that rope comes out 1
of those holes again makes your wife '
. get closer to the door. Then you try '
' again, and get it tangled in your legs. 1
* By this time, you notice that this is the 1
. smallest bedroom in the house, and you 1
call the attention of your wife to the '
J fact by observing : (
) *' Why on earth don't you open the J
door ? Do you want to smother me ?"
[ She opens the door, and you start '
again, and she helps you with the lamp. '
? First she puts it on the wrong side of '
. the rail, then she moves it so the heat 1
a comes up frotn the chimney and scorches |
, your nose. Just as vou need it the
^ most, you lose sight of it entirely, and, '
9 turning around, find her examining the 1
wall to see how that man has put on the 1
whitewash. This exoites you, and brings 1
[ out the* perspiration in greater profu- 1
8 sion, and you declare you will kick the 1
I bedstead oat doors if she doesn't come 1
around with that light. Then she comes '
j around. Finally, the cord is laid all 1
3 right, and you proceed to execute the
j very delicate job of tightening it The 1
p lower ropes are first walked over. This
j is done by stepping on the first one, and 1
. sinking it down, hanging to the headB
board with the clutch of death. Then
B you step on the next line, spring that 1
down, lose your balance, grab for the
' head-board, and come down in a heap. 1
B This is repeated more or less times ]
t across the length of the bed, the only
t variety being the new places you bruise.
s The top cords are tightened in another 1
3 way, and you now proceed to that. Yon
y first put 'one foot on each rail, which :
5 spreads you some, and as you do it the
3 frightful thought strikes you that if one
. of those feet should slip over, nothing !
B on earth would prevent you from being
1 split through to the chin. Then you
pull Up the first rope until your eyes 1
1 seem to be on the point of rolling out
I of their sockets and the blood in your !
j veins fairly groans, and on being con.
viuced that yon can't pull it any further (
? without crippling yourself, you catch 1
I hold of the Dextrope and draw that up, |
and grunt. Then you move along to
the next, and pull that up, and grunt 1
again. Just as you have got to the !
middle and commence to think that you
are about throngh, even if your joints 1
* will never again set as they did before, ]
i you some wav or other miss the connec3
tion and find that you have got to go I
j. back and do it all over. Here you
pause for a few minutes of oracular re- 1
1 fresliment, and then slowly and carefully
, work your way back. You don't jump
down and walk back, because you are 1
j afraid to spread out in that way again. '
You sort of waddle back, working the 1
1 way inch by inch, and with consummate 1
patience. A man thus stretched across |
t a bedstead never becomes so excited as
- to lose his presence of miud. It would J
, be instant death to him if he did. Then
he goes over it again, waddling and
r pulling, groaning and grunting, while
? his wife moves around with the lamp '
- and tells him to take it easy and not
scratch the bedstead any more than he
? can help, and that she can't tell which
* creaks the most, he or the bedstead,
f And after he gets through, she has the
i audacity to ask him to bring in the
feather beds. Jn the dead of night

A Summer Morning in Normandy.
a The following is from the pen of an
a : accomplished traveler: Do you know
'? j the coast of Normandy ? It is a couni
try that everybody thinks he knows
well. We have all been to Dieppe, some ,
' even to Havre. Dear friends, this is
! really not enough. What you do not
know is the existence of a dozen little
watering places between Havre and
Boulogne, all charming, all quiet, all
' j entirely French. These secluded re?
; treats are like the triangles in the sixth

Meat for the Million.
rood for the Coming Man?The Great
Scientific DUcovery of the Age.
Scientific Paris has a new sensation,
vrites a Paris correspondent. The first
requisite of mankind is food, and if that
;an be provided at all times in sufficient
juantity and quality to sustain life,
vithout extraordinary labor and exposure
to perils, it must be oonccded that
ill I have claimed is true. If, more)ver,
the food is of the best quality, and
exactly adapted to the different ages
ind varied nbvsicai constitutions of the
race, then the greatest triumph of the
ige has been achieved. And all of this
Prof. Gaerette claims to be true of his
liscovery.
It seems that the idea occnrred to'the
learned scientist twenty years ago. that
ie might experiment with animal and
vegetable food so far as to discover the
primordial elements needed to sustain
ind foster life. He argued that as man
is sustained by the flesh of animals and
rege tables, it might bo possible to resolve
these articles of diet into their el;ments,
discover the sources from
* * ? ^
wmcn mey arewuieir vic? BUv* "j j??"cious
combination of their most nutri;ions
qualities and the throwing out of
lhat which was Treeless and harmful,
produce an artificial species of food
which would supply every need of the
race. He sought what Huxley would
5all the protoplasm of life, and it is
claimed and admitted by a number of
liis learned countrymen that he has
found it. It has been, as I said, the
work of twenty years to perfect the discovery,
but two thousand years would
not have been wasted had they been successfully
applied to the same purpose.
With an increasing supply of food for
the race always at nana with slight expense
of labor, the miseries of the poor,
rod the necessities of crime are largely
decreased. The slaughter of animals
find the animal destruction of the vegetable
world is done away. Science gives
its manna with a largo hand, and the
nne great need of the world is supplied
from an unfailing source.
The gentleman to whom this discovBry
is duo is well-known in the City of
Lvons, where he holds the chair of
Chemics in the University. He was
born at Auvergne in 1806, graduated in
medicine at the universities of Paris
and Naples, was appointed a lecturer at
the former institution in 1841, and was
promoted to the Professorship of Chemistry
m the University of Lyons in
1845. Since thAt time he has made the
latter city his abode, visiting Paris only
at rare intervals. He was pointed out
to me one day on the Hue aes Italiens,
and I was told to take special notice ol
him, which was the easier done, as he
walked wi^Ji eyes bent down, and evidently
engaged in deep thought. This,
I am told, is his custom?but at home
he is seldom seen on the streets, as he
nonfines himself closely to his labors
lory, when not occupie'd with his public
iuties. He is small, gray-haired, with
broad forehead and deep-set eyes (their
color I could not see), and a stubby
moustache, hnlf-conceaiing a firm
month. Like most scholars, he is somewhat
stoop-shouldered, and wftlks with
a shuffling gait. As a chemist, no man
in France ranks higher, though ho is
little known outside of his own scholastic
circle, for the reason that he has
never published anything. His life has
been devoted to the discovery he is now
perfecting, and that promises to bring
him such laurels as no other man of his
age has achieved.
There has been no public exhibition
vet made of the food which Prof.
Ghierette has prepared, and I can speak
of it only from the description given by
scientific men, who ore enthusiastic in
praise of it. They have been made acquainted
with the processes by which
it is formed, and express only wonder
that the same idea of tracing the food
principle to its source hod not occurred
to themselves. In any other city than
Paris there might be some hesitation
about making experiments with this
new diet; but men who have learned to
sit down to a dinner of horsesteak will
have no hesitation in_.trying any other
viands that come well recommended.
The food is made of earth?even, it is
said, of refuse matter. It contains in
exact proportions the four primary elements
necessary for nutrition. PrcEared
with skill and care, it not only
as rejected all that does not assist life,
but it is said to be spiced and perfumed
in such a manner as to realize our
/Ironma of fh? ambrosia of the cods.
Smell and taste are gratified at the B&me
time that digestion is rendered a pleasure.
No stale scent of cookery lingers
about it; it has banished at once all the
discomforts of the kitchen. Those who
have eaten it?(and my informants are
medical men of high repute)?say that
its effect on the system is magical, and
its tastes beyond description in words.
In their enthusiasm, they go still
farther, and say that M. Guerett's discovery
will do more to banish alcoholism
and other perverted tastes, and restore
the system to its normal condition
of healthy appetites and sound digestion
than all the discoveries of all the
medical men who have ever lived.
With others, I laughed heartily at the
idea when it was first broached, but a
second and more sober thought has
made me lend a readier ear to what has
been told me. I remembered the habits
of the clay-eaters of North Carolina and
the tribes along the Amazon river, who
eat a soft, highly-scented clay that is
found npon its banks, and are seemingly
us well-grown and as strong as those
who live on flesh and fruit. If this
could be done by barbarians, I reasoned,
why should not civilized men be able to
derive their food from the same source 1
The animal is fed by vegetable life?the
vegetable by the substanco and gases ol
earth?hence it is reasonably, as Professor
Gueretto argues, to seek the
means of ffnstaining life at the source
whence they draw their sustenance,
Voila tout! Chemistry has becomo sucli
an exact science in the clear-sighted
Frenchman's hands that he can com
Dine me elementary jrans in ma juuujiv
tory aj readily and far more quicklj
than can be done by tlio slow processet
that require the growth of animal and
plant, aud without meeting the causes
that badly affect the food we now eat.
Science has simply come to the aid ol
nature, and quickened her processes.
Is it so surpassingly wonderful aftei
all ? Artificial vapor bos turned th?
wheels of the locomotive and lifted the
lever that propels the steamer. Ac
artificial flash of lightning sends mes
sages under th$ ocean and across continents.
And now artificial food is ex
tracted from nature's laboratory bj
processes that, as in the above cases,
annihilate time. That is all that hai
been done. But it means a physical,
social, and economical revolution.

The Arlington Estate.
Mrs. Lee. widow of Gen. Bobort E.
Lee, has been stopping a few days at
Alexandria, where she was interviewed
by a reporter of the Republican. In
regard to the Arlington estate she
makes the following statement: "Her
father, George Washington Parks Custis,
dying in 1857, gave to Mrs. Lee by '
his will the entire Arlington estate.
The terms of the will vested the
property in her absolutely. Beyond
the simple dnties of an executor, Gen.
Lee had no control of the property, and
never, either before or since, assumed
or attempted to assume a single right
of ownership." It was further ascertained,
from Mrs. Lee herself, that not
only was Arlington her unqualified bequest
from her father, but that Gen.
Lee never participated in any way in 1
its ownership nor control, always re- ^
fusing to arbitrate in important matters
relating to it, and from the termination
of the war to the date of his death, he

trol, right or independence relative to
the estate, and refused to act concern- ti
ing it in any way. Mrs. Lee is remark- 0]
ed as having conversed freely on the
subject of the estate without any shade
of bitterness, to have spoken highly of "

Editorial Notices are so common L
that it is almost impossible for an edi- w
tor to express his honest opinion of the
merits of any article without being enspectcd
of interested motives. This >1
fact, however, shall not deter us from **
saying what we think of a new addition ?
to the Materia Medica to which our attention
has been recently directed. We
refer to Dr. J. Walker's California pi
Vine oar Bitters, a remedy which is
making its way into more families just "
sow than all the other advertised medi- q
oines put together. Its popularity, as ,,,
far as we can judge, is not. based on si
empty pretention, There seems to be
no question about the potency of its
tonic and alterative properties, while it n
Dossesses the great negative recommendation
of containing neither alcohol nor j
mineral poison. That it is a specific
for Indigestion, Bilousness, Constipation,
and many complaints of nervous
origin, we have reason to know; and
we are assured on good authority that c
as a general invigorant, regulating and
purifying medicine, it has no equal. It *
is stated that its ingredients, (obtained "
from the wilds of California,) are new e
to the medical world ; and its extraor- '
linary effects certainly warrant the con- ti
elusion that it is a compound of agents ti
hitherto unknown. If popularity is r
iny criterion, there can be no doubt of ^
the efficiency of the Vinegar Bitters,
for the sale of the article is immense 0
