Roast Beef With Yorkshire Pudding.?Rub salt and pepper over the j beef, put it in a dripping pan, cover the bottom with water ; baste often with the dripping, turn the meat and baste as before. Afcout three-quarters of an hour before it is done, take out the meat, pour off most of the dripping, put in the batter and the meat, and finish roasting. Add some hot water to the dripping and thicken with flour for the gravy. Baked Fresh Fish.?Clean the fish well and wipe it dry (do not cut off the head), prepare a force-meat of bread and two slices of fat salt pork, chopped fine, season with sage, savory and pepper ; *.^14 ZL 1 wiTrflrm xrofor ekllb it ttliu mtwru >wm n?4 oa } fill the fish with this, sew it together, and lay it in a dripping pan, pour around "it some warm water and sprinkle with pepper and salt, baste often. A good sized fish will bake in one hour. Stewed Macaroni.?Break the macaroni into small pieces, wash it, put into salted hot water, and cook about twenty minutes ; drain and put in a vegetable dish a laver of macaroni, sprinkle on it grated cheese, bits of butter, pepper and salt; proceed in this manner until the dish is full (omit the cheese at the last) ; set the dish in the oven for a few minutes, and let it get thoroughly hot. For baked macaroni pour a few spoonfuls of milk over the top, and bake half an hour. Mock Turtle Soup.?Clean a calf's head well and let it stand in salt and water two or three hours. Then soak it in fresh water. Put it to boil in cold water, and when sufficiently cooked separate the meat from the bone. Strain the broth, cut the meat in small pieces, and add it to the broth; season with salt. Next take one pound of suet, and two pounds of veal, chop fine, with sufficient bread crumbs. Seasoning as above, make some foroe-meat balls and fry them in butter; chop three hard boiled eggs fine and add. To Make Soft Soap. A correspondent says : As I have just made our year's supply of soft soap I will tell you how I did it. I use good hard wood ashes and clean grease. By clean grease I mean the refuse grease that accumulates in the family, which is separated from bones and flesh as it al .1 xl a 1 a *a _ 1_ x _ gainers ai me time, ana pui ma suuauie vessel. If it gets a littlo moldy it will not hurt it. The ashes should also be * kept dry. In lack of a larger mush tub I took a common flour barrel that was tight enough to hold water, and bored three half-inch holes in the bottom near one side, and set it on an inclined board large enough to protect three inches on three sides of the barrel and six inches on the other. In this 6oard I cut a groove a little larger than the barrel to conduct the lye to one point for the convenience of gathering it I first put into the barrel small pieces of wood around the holes so as to raise up the strainer and leave a small space for the lye to escape. * For the strainer I use clean hay?a little wisp wet in clear water. On the hay I put a quart of slaked lime, and then filled the barrel with hard wood ashes, wetting it and packing it down as well as I could. This I let stand till the next day, the ashes soaking so as to release the potash. . In the morning I poured on boiling water in small quantities till the lye ran freely. Its strength I tested by dropping an egg into it, which would float so as to show a spot as large as a five-cent nickel. With a pailful of this lye were melted some three or four pounds of the grease, and when it boiled the mixture was poured into the soap barrel. This process was repeated till we had used up all our grease, and hot lye was added till the soap assumed the desired consistency. When the strength of the ashes was exhausted they were mostly removed, and the barrel filled anew. Two barrels of good ashes well filled will make a barrel of soap, requiring from eight to twelve pounds of clear grease. As the grease was not weighed I cannot give the exact amount. Having lye enough, we used the grease we had. This is a detailed and full statement of the way we did it, and we succeeded welL Effect of Grptnn. A correspondent of the Times writes : In reading some remarks on gypsum and its application, I noticed a suggesi* J 1: live error m regaru to lie application upon plants when wet. I learned years ago, by a chance circumstance, that plaster does no go till thoroughly washed into the ground by rainfall. A part of a field of corn was plastered before and a part after a heavy shower. That part plastered before the shower, where the plaster was washed out of sight immediately, put on a deep green color and grew rapidly, while that plastered after the shower, where the plaster remained in a dry state around the hills, retained its yellow color, and grew more slowly; and although it assumed the deep green, and commenced growing when the other rains came two weeks alterward, it never overtook the other, the difference being plain to be seen during the summer. The action of gypsum upon plants cannot take place until it is dissolved and has entered the roots. It is very clear then that it cannot be of the slightest use either upon the leaves or on the ground during dry weather. There is nothing whatever about the action of gypsum as a fertilizer that is different from any other fertilizer. It simply supplies some needed matters to the plant when it is dissolved in water and is absorbed by the roots. Crop of Premlam Wheat. The Burlington County (New Jersey) Agricultural Society, in 1875, awarded their highest premium to Wm. Parry, of Cinnaminson, N. J., for the best average yield of thirty bushels per acre of wheat, at an average net profit of $23. He furnishes the following statement: Sowed 6 41-100 acres with Foltz wheat on Sept. 24, 1874, which yielded 193 bushels ; sold at $1 50 per bushel. ..$289 50 Straw and chaff, worth about 31 50 Total $321 00 Coetof two plowing* $12 00 Ten bushels seed wheat at $1 50 15 00 Harrowing and cultivating 12 00 Hair manure (no other fertilizer used) 100 00 Harvesting and thrashing 34 50 Net proiit 147 50 Total $321 00 Mr. Crane said he supposed the hair manure was the refuse "of some glue factory, which was very valuable as a manure, as he knew from experience.

SODA MINES IN WYOMING. Hundred* of Acres Covered velih Solid Crystallzed Soda to an Unknown Depth. Not long since an Omaha Herald reporter held an interview with Mr. Hardin, United States deputy mineral surveyor, who made the official survey of the soda lakes or deposits under instructions from the surveyor general of Wyoming, on application of Dr. Graff, agent and partner of the present owners of those deposits. The survey was made last December. Mr. Hardwin had visited the lakes in October. Reporter ? Who discovered those lakes ? Mr. Hardin?I am not able to say wno discovered them. Probably the person who named Independence rock, which lies in the immediate vicinity. Fremont, in his first expedition in 1842, does not mention them. At an early day the Mormons transported large quantities of soda from those deposits to Salt Lake City to be used in cooking, etc. Since 1872 several parties have attempted to locate those deposits, but failed to prosecute them. Reporter?Who owns the deposits ? Mr. Hardin?The owners of the patents recently procured are gentlemen of wealth and enterprise, and design developing the deposits immediately. The lakes, or more properly deposits, are in r?nm ko-r on/I lio r?r? flin nnrfll ei/lp 1UU1 1U UUUJ.I/VA UUU AAV/ VU vAAV/ mvj. vu w*v.v of the Sweet Water river, in Carbon county, Wyoming, about fifty-five or sixty miles north of Rowlins, on the Union Pacific railroad. They extend along parallel to the river, the distance between the most easterly and most westerly being about six miles. Those parties own five locations, aggregating 440 acres. A small per cent, of this area does not contain soda, as the surveys conformed to the government surveys in form, and necessarily include parts of land not mineral. Reporter?How is this soda found ? Mr. Hardin - Crystallized soda, solid as ice, exists to a great depth in all those locations, fehafts to the depths of seven feet and one to the depth of eleven feet have been sunk in some of those deposits without finding bottom or finding any change in the appearance or condition of the deposit. I will here say that one of the locations is a lake of water, strongly saturated with soda, but not crystallized yet, except when I saw it, it was covered with soda resembling slush ice, but the indications show that it is like the other, excepting the water, that is, the water lies on a deposit of mud, and tho mud lies on a bed of crystallized soda of unknown depth, which -- ai_ _ ?:u. ?ai 1 i? ? ??? is but) uase wnu Uiiieio at v;cx taiu orasons. This is water, mud, and solid soda, the mud varying from an inch to ! ten inches thick. Reporter?How does this soda exist as to quantity ? H.?No correct estimate of the mineral can now be made., some of those deposits may be twenty, foi% or sixty feet thick; but when we get over ten feet all is conjecture, until some one with proper tools shall penetrate the bed. The question is easily asked why shafts deeper have not been dug?this questiDn I can partly answer by saying that proper outfits have not been attainable there, and the labor is hard, the deposits being nearly as hard as anthracite coal. I assisted in sinking a hole just five feet deep near the shore of one of the deposits in order to set a corner post to one of the surveys, and I was glad to quit at that depth, and had two men to assist me, and yet there was no change in the deposits showing that we were likely to be near the bottom. R.?What are the chemical properties of these deposits. H.?The mineral is a carbonate of soda, containing a small quantity of common salt and sulphate of common soda. An analysis made indicated it to be about the same purity as the soda ash of commerce. The lakes are evidently fed by soda springs, whose sources must be left to conjecture, and the supply from the source adds annually vast amounts to the already enormous deposits. The amount now on hand is so great that any speculation or attempted calculation of the annual accretion is superfluous at this time and may be left to those who may need soda a few thousand years hereafter. The most westerly deposit, containing over two hundred acres, has several placers; some near the middle, through which at certain times, as I have been informed by hunters who are acquainted with it, the water and mud are forced up without any apparent cause (probably by difference of atmospheric pressure), and spreads over the lake, which, evaporating, leaves a crust of hard soda on top of the mud, varying at different times from one to three inches thick. I saw the lake in October, when the crnst extended entirely over it, and was about three inc ios thick. In December the crust on the lake was only one inch thick, and many portions had none. R.?What has become of the threeinch crust ? E.?I don't know. Possibly it has been transformed and settled through the ten inches of mud, and had been annexed to the solid crystallized body below the mud. R.?Do you know how much soda is consumed annually? H.?The amount used in the United States during the last year is estimated at 200,000 tons, imported from England at a cost of $12,000,000. Its uses are numerous; medicine, bleaching and baking powders, smelting ores, glass and soap making. R.?How are these soda deposits to ; be marketed ? H.?I learn that the owners design the early construction of a railroad to some point on the W. P. railroad, whereby this will become one of the economic industries of the country. To utilize these deposits will give employment to 2,500 persons, and will require a capital of one and one-half millions of dollars, and almost double the eastward carrying trade of the W. P. railroad. We may look further, and predict that at no far distant day the soda mines of Wyoming will furnish the civilized world with this necessary article. Floods in Switzerland, Eastern Switzerland is suffering severely from floods caused by heavy rains and melting snow. The canton of Thurgau, which is entirely inundated, is 384 square miles in extent, and has about 95, OX) people. The serious damage the railroads have s offered is one of the worst effects of the mountain torrents, since it will retard the aid that is sent to the homeless. A Pious Custom.?Among the pious customs of the Parsees is that of always stopping in the midst of everything, at certain hours, to pray. If you are talking with a Parsee merchant about cotton or opium, in the street, and the yraying hour sounds, he will stop in the midst of a sentence, turn his face toward the sun, stretch his arms up in its direction, and solemnly recite his orison, SUMMARY OF NEWiS I i (lemi of Interest fro at Home and Abroad < Wisconsin Democrats appointed delegates to J the national convention, but did not think it advisable to adopt a platform.

Sherwood Bonner, writing from Rome ! to the Boston limes, tells a remarkable i story of a young Italian who belonged to an impoverished though noble family and had the usual capital of the poor but honest?eyes and mustache. The lady in the case was heiress to wealth and an old name. She had three brothers?haughty brothers, of course, who hated her lover and vowed like old Feefaw-fum, to have his blood to butter their bread. They did not go quite so far as this, but they threatened to such good effect that the lovers bid each other a heartrending farewell, and the young Fraucesca left Rome. Six months later, dragging out a miserable existence in an English town, he received a letter from his Laura, in which she announced that two of the brothers had been killed in a vendetta fight, and the third had relented so far as to express his willingness to receive proposals from his sister's lover. By some cruel fate the letter had been delayed nearly a month. Francesca hastened "on the wings of love," however that may be, traveling night and day until he reached Rome and his love. His first act?for he was a pious (Jatholic?was to hasten to banta Mana della Croce, to return thanks for his safe arrival. As he lifted the heavy cur- J tain and entered by one door a funeral j train passed out at another, white roses 1 on the bier and maidens in white in at- ( tendance. He asked a solemn faced i priest: " Who was carried to the grave j to-day ?" and the priest with stolid unconsciousness replied : "The Signorina ^ Laura ; she died three days ago of ( a fever." I cannot put myself sufficiently in J the young lover's placebo tell you how < he felt; what he did is known to a dis- j creet few. He went that night to the , family vault, he bribed the keeper of i the keys, he passed the night through j with the "dear, dead woman he loved so well," who had died without knowing him true. What wild raving echoed j from those old walls none will ever i know; he came out in the morning silent and cold as the dead he had left. | Since then he has lived a life of seclusion; he is never seen to smile, he declines all invitations, his eyes grow big- < ger and darker as his face lose3 color and flesh. i A Female Husband. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in < Scotland to his friend in Virginia : I 3 will now tell you of two young women ( who had been disappointed in marriage, ] and being intimate they revealed their 1 minds to each other and resolved to live ( as man and wife in some place where j they were not known. They drow lots i to decide who should be the man. The one on whom it fell assumed the name of j James Hall. They then set out on their journey, and at last came to Epping, 1 leased a house there and kept an inn. They had a servant, but each performed | ' the duties belonging to his or 1 or station. They traded honestly, gained a \ good deal of money, were well respect- ] ed, and lived together thirty-one- years, j until at last the wife died, when the dis ] covery was made.

They sre compounded of vegetable ingredients, end contain lothlng which can be injurious to the human constitution. Other remedies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably contain opium, which Is a somewhat langerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by jonsumptive patients,it most do great injury; for lte endency is to confine the morbid matter in the system, irhich, of ocurse, mast make a cure impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain i particle of opium. It is composed of powerful but termless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver, stomach, icd expel all the diseased matter from the body. These ire the only means by wbloh Consumption cap be cured, ind as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonlo and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which operate in his way, it is obvious they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluible medicine is aocompanled by full directions.
