and housed fn a little stable, well-
bedded with dr/ forest leaves, is a de
light that cannot be appreciated un
til dice realized by actual possession*
1 How to keep such a cow, feed and
milk her is the scope of this article.
The cow should be purchased, if pos'-
sible, from some farmer living some
distance from the city, one who carts
lor iiis stock, and whose word can he
relied upon. £uch an animal will, us
hsn general rule, bo healthy,and give
good wholesome milk. And to get
such an animal it would be wise,even
if a few dollars more would have to
t»e paid. For general purposes,a good
native cow; with some Ayrshire or
iJevon blood counting through her
■veins, will as a general thing, give
the best satisiaction, us they are ex
tremely hardy .and their milk contains
all those elements no necessary for
tlie grow tii and dcvoiopenieiit of chil
dren.
If plenty of good,rich milk is called
foi, the cow .‘riiould have two quarts
of mill feed ftiul due quart of corn meal
'mixed together,and fed dry; one-hali
In the morning whilst being milked,
and the other half at night, and dur
ing the day plenty of good pasture
hud clean water to drink, and when
'it is very hot the cow should bo kept
in the shade, as extreme heat is very
injurous to the animal and also to her
onilk. She should be kept in a large,
Voomy stable and well-bedded, and
after the morning's milking well-
carded and brushed down. This is
just as important to the animal as it is
to maa to wash his face and comb Ids
Jiair. JAy this carding the pores of
the skin are kept open and the hide
is kept loose, and thus the animal is
_ fwv.it!» t - - t
As pasturage fails from the effect of
the summer heat, bno-quarter of an
acre ol coi*n sowed in rows dpring the
early part ol May, on rich ground,can
be relied upon to supplement her oth-
er foocj and keep up a generous supply
bf milk during July and August.
Many persolis spoil a good cow* by
pdt milking properly. There is a
Tyrong and a right way, and it takes
tifno £o become proficient in it. Have
« bucket w ith'soixe water and a towel
ktid wasli the cow’s bag and wipe dry
find then proceed to milk,first having
the person’s hands clean; grasp the
teals with both hands and draw, and
Squeeze gently at the same time and
quite rapidly, and milk until the last
drop of mjlk is'dravn but. Allowing
triilk to remain in the bag will tend
to dry up tlie cow much sooner than
if milked clean. In ten minutes tune
a cow should be milked, and whilst
being milked no laughing or talking
should be indulged in
In the early part of September the
ground upon which the corn-fodder
fefew should be plowed up, made fine
and rich and seeded m i'yp at the rate
bffour bushels per acre, and if put in
early, and on good ground, an abun
dance of rich green food can be cut off
of it about the first of tlie following
May.
A cow should by all means have a
pasture tc run in, and in tlie winter
t*llowi$ plenty of exe.else in a warm
’yard and kept out of cold storms of
rain. These rules arc simple, and
should be looked after by the head of
tlie house, for if left to the help, how
ever how* good he may be, it will goon
degenerate into a mechanical duty,
“'“I may be not done at all. Living in
the country has its drawbacks, and
only those get their lull satisfaction
fvhoare painstaking and methodical
not for a day or week, but the year
round.

[Tlie last words of Dr. Alexander
Adam, an eminent school mask*? in
Edinburgh, Scotland, who died in
1808, His last words were, as he
imagined himteif in thesdhooj room:
“Boys, you may go; it grows dark. ,: j
“It’s growing dark—boys, you may
go.”
So spoke the dying master Jqw,
As life for Imn was ebbing fast.
Its school of trial almost past.
The hour of closing come at last—
It seemed in his delirium dreaming.
The sunset tlirough the school room
streaming.
‘‘Its growing dai k—boys, ycu may
go.”
Tlie day is done, the sun is low;
The study bard, the problem ddep,
The weary mind no more may keep;
Shut uij the books, ’lis time for sleep-
Go home and wait until to-morrow
Shall bring its w ork of joy or sorrow.
Its growing dark—hoys you may go,”
The thought begun to stir and flow;
How light and life and all things
here,
Like school

To mention the word larding Is to
disconcert the average cook, and its
presence in a recipe kills that recipe
for most housewives. Nevertheless
larding greatly improves turkeys,
chickens, cutlets, birds, etc. Cut
very firm bacon fat with a sharp kuife
intostripsof equal size. Putoneend
into the larding needle and draw
through the skin and a little of the
meat or fowl of the article to be
larded, leaving tlie strip of pork in
the meat, with ihe two exposed ends
of equal length.
(foment fin Knife Handles.
A material for fastening knives
and forks into their handles is much
needed. The best cement which is
used for this purpose is made by
melting one pound of colophony
bought of any druggist, and eight
ounces of sulphur. It may be kept in
a bar or reduced to powder. Take one
part powde/and mix v/jth iron fill
ings, fine sand or brick ikifei, and fill
the cavity of the handle, heat the
stem of "the handle, then heat the
stern of the knife or folk and insert.
When cold it will be found to be firm
in its place.

We are in Nubia, the climate, the differ

Rome people cannot cmlqre their
own society with patience; they hate
to be left alone. They do not know
how to r.muse themselves. They have
no fondness for nature, knows noth
ing of natural history, and
have never cultivated a taste for read
ing. The consequence is, when they
happen to be thrown on their own re
sources, they have no resources to
fall back upon. Such people are
greatly to be pitied. - Tlie woods, tlie
uiqiintains, falling waters, and tlie
ocean shore have no" attractions for
them. They are blind to the beauty
of the varied plumage of tlie birds,
and deaf to their sweet soul's. When
ever they chance to be left alone for
an hour the time hangs heavily on
tin ir hands. They must always he
busy in their own little ways, or tak

They cannot even while away an

Uses of an Egg.
For burns and scalds nothing is
more soothing than the white of an
egg, which may be poured over the
wound. It is softer as a varnish than
collodion, and being always at hand
can be applied. It is also more cool
ing than tlie sweet oil and cotton,
which was formerly supposed to be
tpe surest application to a Hay the

The egg is considered to be one of
the b'*«t remedies for dysentery.
Beaten up slightly, with or without
sugar, and swallowed at a gulp, it
tends, by its emollient qualities, to
lessen the inflammation of the stom

Disposition of Old Letters.
It Is trouble, not good, that arises from
old letters. A package has fallen into my
caro to bo disposed of as thought bes$.
It contains letters, bills, receipts, some
papers of value, and others worthless. In
order to sort the chaff from tho wheat,
they must bo carefully examined. Ah,
what unthought of secrets they diselosor-
family troubles of which tho world never
jjreameiJ; bitter heartaches where wp
thought all was serene; love ' letters,
sacred for their time and place, ridiculous
now; a whispered suspicion of slander
upon a name we thought was pure aa
snow, and wo are left to wonder whethef
it is truo or false. Old letters. What
can they bo good for? Their mission is
ended.
“I may like to read them while rccov
cring frem an illness,” says some one.
Pshaw I as if these would be tonic you
needed at such a time! Better far c
breath of pure air. We aro all prone to
brood too much at such times, and need
no such help in that direction. Let this
plea for the burning of letters bo a strong
ono. Business letters should bo filed aii($
labeled. Have a blank book into which
to copy such dates or extracts as may bo
of value in the future for references
This can be done when letters are an
sworCd. Then burn them and see the
ashes. It is tho sorrows instead 'of the
joys, that most letters contain. They are
tho safety valve for deep feeling from
friend to friend, good iu their time, but
sometimes worse than useless in the fu
ture. Every day brings r.vw experiences.
We aro constantly changing, and in many
cases would bo ashamed of our own let
ters written ten years ago’.

During llio Siege of Paris.
A recent exhibition of French carica
tures and comic drawings brought to tho
public cyo once more tho evidences of tho
fact that Parisian gayety was not to bo
suppressed aven by tho terribip siogc that
tho capital went through from tho Ger
man army. Ono of these caricatures,
published during tho siege, was made to
represent a fashion plate; various elegant
ladies and gentlemen were pictured going
about wrapped in mattresses, and under
neath the picture was the legend: “Fash
ions for the bombardment season." Most
of these pleasantries of the siego turned
upon the scarcity of food—a grim subject
which seemed particularly inspiring to
the caricaturist of tho time. A servant
asks his master: “Shall I put tho horses
in the carriage today, or in the barouche?"
“H'm,” says tlie master, sighing, you
may put them iu tlie oven, please!” Not
unlike this is another caricature rep,y-
scut ing a servant making the familiar an
nouncement to his mistress: “Tho horses
aro ready, madamc." “What!” “Yes,
madame—they are on tho table!” Such
pleasantries seem scarcely to have been a
laughing matter to tho people who went
through those fearful scenes, but tho
Parisians must laugh at something, and
these pictures prove that they could not
think of stopping their gayety on account
of such a passing Incident as a siege and
a famine.—The Argonaut.

Cider in tho Metropolis.
I should imagine that cider had become
as popular a boyera&p in New York as It
is in Maine. Wherever I go in tho hum
bler quarters of the town I corao on cider
shops. They vend buttermilk and pop
beer, too, I believe, hut cider is certainly
their chief commodity, and I havo never
s^en a cider shop in which I did not also
so6 people drinking cider. Some fifteen
years ago a speculative individual opened
a cider shop in an unleased store on Broad
way. The beverage was advertised as
manufactured on the premises, and in the
yindow of tho shop was a miniature eider
( iress, which was operated by a miserable j;
iig dog that toiled on a tread mill all day
and half the night through. I believe Mr.
Henry Eergh put an end to this estab
lishment and some others that sprang up
in imitation of it.
Since then tho cider industry has evi
