Take one pound and a half of common flcur, half a pound of beef suet chopped very fine, two ?ggs well beaten, one pint of new milk; mix. Have ready a bowl well greased; put in your pudding; tie down with a cloth; boil steadily for two l- luman imcrOVeS liULUOf \A A Ik IVU AVM tVM ? WW? I it. Quince Jelly.?Slice the quinces without either paring or coring. Put them into a preserving kettle and just cover with water; put over the tire and boil until soft Removo from the stove and strain oft' the liquor. To every gal "ton allow four pounds of white sugar, Jind boil very fast until it becomes a stiff jelly. Crab Apple Jelly.?Cut out the eyes and stalks of the apples, halve them, and put in a preserving kettle, with enough water to prevent burning; cook until soft; then strain through a sieve, and afterward through a muslin bag; to every pound ot liquor put one pound and a quarter of sugar; boil gently for twenty minutes. Melissa Pudding.?Prepare a paste exactly the sani? as m making ordinary soda biscuit; roll it out about an inch thick, and of the size required, according to the number to be served; place in a steamer for about twenty minutes, or until it rises to a light crust. Serve with butter, any kind of preserved berries or lruit, and fine sugar; boil gently lor twenty minutes. Iokd Apples.?Pare and core one dozen large apples ; till with sugar mixed . with a little butter and cinnamon or nutmeg; bake till nearly done. Cool, and, if possible, without breaking, put the apples on another dish. If not possible pour off the juice; have some icing prepared; lay it on the top and sides and set into the oven a few minutes to brown slightly. Serve with cream. Mincemeat with Tomatoes. ?Take oold roast or boiled meat and chop it line with about an equal quantity of . ripe tomatoes, season with an even teaspoonful of pepper, a heaping teaspoonful of salt; spread a layer of bread or cracker crumbs iu a pudding dish, put in the mincemeat and t-omatoes, spread a thick layer of bread crumbs on the top with a little butter, and pour over a teacupful of water. Bake it one hour and* you will have a delicious dish. Cold gravy mixed with warm water, or a cuplul of stock, are nicer for moistening - than water. Butter enough should be used to make the top brown, like escalloped oysters. Grape Jam.?Seven pounds of grapes and three and one-half of sugar. Steam the grapes, weigh, and then wash them, put in a kettle with about a pint of water, over a moderate fire, 6tirring occasionally to prevent burning; in forty or fifty minutes, or less, the seeds will slip from the skins; then rub through a collander, and return to the kettle witb the sugar. Boil from one to two hours, according as it thickens; stirring it all the while or it will burn. If it is desired to make a sauce for cold meats, etc., to this quantity add two kbleepoonfuls of cinnamon, one cloves, and one-half pint of vinegar just on taking from the fire. | Anj kind of grapes will do, wild, cultivated or green. Qarilloni and Answers. What will make hens lay through the winter? One fanner says that feeding hens with fat occasionally will cause them to lay during the winter. Mix hog's lard with dough is the rule; a piece of lard about the size of a walnut given to a hen after she has been broken up from sitting will start her to laying again. Can evergreen be planted in the fall ? Evergreens may be planted at any season of the year when the ground is not frozen. The best time, however, is when the buds have just started into new growth; this occurs about the time other trees have come into leaf. What is the natural size of an apple tree? The age of an apple tree varies greatly aoeording to the constitution of the tree, the nurture, climate, etc. On deep and favorable soils, where the climate is not too severe, apple orchards have been known to bear fair crops at eighty, ninety and even, in rare cases, one hundred years of age. As a rule, however, apple orohards fail in forty and fifty years. Severe cold, which blackens all the wood, is a common cause of the premature failure of orchards. Starvation, in consequence of exhaustion of the soil, is a still more frequent cause. Pe?r trees, under favorable circumstanoes, live forty and fifty years, the plum averages from twenty to thirty years, the cherry lasts about the same length of time, and peach trees usually fail to be profitable at twelve to thirteen years of age. Is there any truth in the assertion that the season in which eggs are laid has an influence on the chicks hatched therefrom ? It is very generally believed by poultry raisers that a hen's first laying for the season will produce better and stronger chickens than those laid later. The idea seems to be that after two or three months the fowl loses her vitality and these late eggs, in consequence, produce a brood lacking somewhat in stamina. Is there no way in which apples osn be kept through the winter without entirely losing their flavor? They are stored away in the fall crisp and palatable, but in two or three months become flabby and poor. Apples are a fruit which very readily take in snrrounding odors, especially those of close, moist cellars, in which they are too often kept. Remove them from all rank vegetables and unpleasant odors; handle them gently ; keep them in a dry, cool room, just above the freezing point, and they will retain in great rnt asure their natural flavor and crispness. To Dry Sweet t'oru. When the corn has become best for table use, remove all husks and silk. With a sharp knife cut just the ends of the kernels off,"and with a kDife scrape the milk and balance of the corn, leaving the hull on the cob. Now put the corn in pie tins, or on plates an inch thick, and place in the oven and just scald the milk ; then place in the sun or any warm place to dry. When wanted for use, put in warm water and let soak some time, and cook slowly. When done add a little sweet milk, a small piece of butter, salt and pepper to taste. A society is beirg organized in London for the purpose of stocking nninhabited islands villi pigs and rabbits, i r\i that shipwrecked sailors who happen < to reach such spots may find an abund- < anoe of food awaiting them. J; by a violent effort jumped upon the step. Somebody shut the door of the caboose behiud me, as I seated myself. I was so elated with this little triumph over the fiery little conductor, that I took out my pipe and had a solemn smoke of ratification. The train went express through three or four stations, so tlmt I was carried as far as Rnpsvillc before I w-s discovered. I * * a i monitor. I ran forward, and seated myself on the steps at the end of the last oar, and in a few minutes was again flying over the rails. I was discovered about a quarter of an hour before getting to Junction City (twenty-five miles). The conductor, a short, fat, good natured rnun, told mo to come into the car and take a seat. "You know," said he, "you ought not to be doing this sort of thing. You are a man of intelligence, I can see, and you know you are doing wrong." "Well," said I, " I know it is wrong, but necessity sometimes compels us to do things wo don t like." " Haven't you any money?" said he. i "Not a cent," I replied, which was the truth. " Well, now mind, you'll have to get off at Junction City," said ho. " All right," said I. At Junction City, however, when he came and shook me (not ill naturedly), and asked me why I had not got off, I : promised I would disappear without I fail at the next station. I kept my word. | But I felt sore about giving up this capital chance for a free ride. So I thought ; that without casuistry I might be justi- j tied in getting between the cattle cars ' again. So I chase as convenient a pair i of cars as I could find; laid myself as j flat to the front car as I eould, to ea- j cape observation, and awaited the next j move. Several of the guards and brake- j men flashed past me with their lanterns; but not one observed me. The i whistle sounded, and off we went. The experience that I had in this | novel and exciting position lasted for j nnnro.^ r\f f linnra ar* fVinfc T hftd U^ntUU V* VU&VV* UVIUV) wv VMKV I plenty of time to take note of all that, was interesting. It was not nearly so ' dangerous as might be imagined. The j iron couplers prevented the cars from j coming together so as to crush me. I had a fair footing about three inches j wide for each foot. All I had to do j was to keep a firm hold of the slats. ' The highest speed of the train was about fifteen miles per hour. The car in Iront of me oontained about | twenty head 01 cattle, all immense | Texan steers, with horns of prodigious i proportions. The car in the rear con- I tained, I suppose, the same number of cattle. They had not been watered, as I afterward learned, for two days, and consequently were in a feverish, restless ! state. Close to me was a white bull, rather smaller than the average, but a creature of a very resolute disposition. When I ' first began to notice my fellow passengers, this bull had cot his horns fixed in the lower tier of slats, and was making violent efforts to free himself. In this he was presently successful. He then took it into his head that he should like to see the country, as presented on the other side of the car; and after squeez- j ing himself and his companions unmercifully, and crushing one of my fingers with his horns, he got round to the de- j sired position, and for a few minutes I seemed well content. But a storm of ; lightning and thunder was raging all the while; the flashes set him up again in ; his tantrums, and the last I saw of him at that time he was plowing his way to i the other end of the car. The three brutes that were now near- : est to me, in a kind of bovine tangle, ! were evidently suffering terribly from thirst; and every time we came near j water would fight and thrust at each j other with their horns in a desperate i manner. When, however, they had subsided into something like quiet, the poor brutes would seem docile enough, and would rub their great rough noses: against my hand. But then I got several violent blow3 from their horns, which rather overbalanced this display of sym- j pathy. The lightning and thunder, in the I mean time, were tremendous. There was no rain, but I afterward learned that j there was a terrific rainstorm at Topeka ; and the surrounding country. At length I was inexpressibly relieved to see a streak of dawn; some cocks | crew on the neighboring farms; and , soon the east was a blaze of rosy splen- j dor. We had just finished one of these in- : terminable waitings at a station, which , seems to be the fate of transportation trains, when one of the brakemen spied me, and called the conductor. This was a fiery headed young man. ! "Come down," he said. "What business have you up there in that dangerous place?" Said I : "I can't come down; the train is moving." Said he : "It is not half so dangerous to come ' down as it is to stay there." So I was j compelled to descend. The train began ; to move faster, and thus seemed to end the second chapter of my "jumping " j adventures. As the caboose at the end! of tho train passed, however. I saw its j sn:pty steps. A sudden idea struck me. I rushed forward, seized the haadfy and j A TRAMP'S STORY. J iinpii K the Railroad Train* and Stealln* : a I.Ide?'Through Knn.au on Foot. A tramp who was doing Kansas on foot concluded to try the cars, and relates his experience as follows: I ran in between two cars and examined them as well as I could in the faint moonlight. I found that tin re was a small projecting ledge the end of each cor, upon which I could place a foot, and that I could hold cn securely to theslats that formed the framework o: the car. 1 aceordiugly jumped up and placed myself in posit on and breathlessly awaited the starting of the train. The whistle sounded, the bell rung and off we went?myself like a circus performer, riding two fiery, untamed cars full of Texan steers. In about a quarter of an hour, however, and before I had time to accustom myself to my strange situation, a head appeared from the roof of the car above me, and a voice exclaimed: "Hello! what are you doing there?" " Getting a free ride," said I. " Well, don't stop there in that dangerous pJp.oe; climb up the steps to the roof here." I obeyed, and soon found myself lying oTi the roof near my new interlocutor a vnnncr hrnkemari He nnestiout d me very closely as to where I had besn, why I / as taking free rides, and so on; to ail of which, I regret to say, I wa3 obliged to answer somehow. Finally, taking a liking to me, he told me he would give mo a free ride to Kansas City if he conld; but that the conductor ! was a terribly smart man, and that he I did not think I could escape hia eye. | He was right; the conductor spied me at Abilene, the first station, and I was turned off the cars after a brief, inglorious ride of fifteen miles. The experience was mortifying, and I said to myself : " Jumping the railroads is not what it is cracked up to bo." It was a glorious, delicious night, and [ I threw myself down on the verandah of the depot and went to sleep. An hour or so after, I was awakened by the dull thundering of another eastward train, as it came rolling into the station. It was another immensely long cattle train, with a passenger car at the end, for the accommodation of the drovers. " Try a^ain," said the inward i urn oonna ie> t*ay iujua tu? upjjr muc i conductor was more amused than angered when he found that I had out-1 wit ted him, and a* I got off the train, j said: "Good-bye, coionel; I hope we j shall meet in better times." Down came the rain in drenching | floods. Rossville looked as if it was : founded in a quagmire. At the depot, where I sought shelter, a sympathizing j Irishman said : " Put off the train,eh? Well, never mind, there will be a transportation train along in half an hour and maybe you can jump that." "Hardly," said I, "in broad day." " Don't be too sure of anything. Try it. Here's the train. Try yer luck." I slid round to the "off" side of the cars, that is the side opposite the depot (the best side for jumping operatidns). In broad daylight I mounted a ooal car j and lay down on its shelf?always "keep j low" iu these operations?and was carried to Topeka, eighteen miles distant, I without the slightest molestation. Such was my night's adventures in j jumping cars. I can now readily believe the stories that men have told me of riding froir Galveston to Denver, from San Francisco to St. Louis, from New York to Kansas City, entirely free of charge, and without walking more than a few miles. I myself iu one night rode nearly eighty miles with no more discomforts than those I have described. The conductors, though they have stern duties to perform, are not inhuman to th s unfortunates who elude their vigilance, and "steal a march " upon them. Their sentence, in general, is : " You must get ofl at the next stopping place." They almost never (as I have learned from many) insist upon your getting off while the train is in motion ; and they would, I believe, in many cases prefer that the poor man should ride free ; but the lynx eyes of their subordinates are upon them, and they dare not be merciful. I do not see how "jumping " can be prevented. At a station all is bustle and motion about a train. The engineer is attending to his supplies of coal and water, and to the condition of his engine; the brakemen and others are attending to the coupling of the cars and the shipment of freight. In the midst of all this, nothing is more easy than to slip aboard some car in the middle of the train. Yon are then sure of a ride to at least the next station, or yon may even be carried, as I have known many to be, the whole length of the journey without discovery. NEWS OF THE WEEK.

The large Devonshire hats and feather turbans promise to be the favorite round hats for ladies' wear during the fall and winter, says a fashion journal. Coarse looking straw hats, either blaok or i brown, will be heavily trimmed with 1 velvet or plush and ostrich feathers, and [ worn during the early fall. The shape i for these is the picturesque Devonshire, , which the French call Pifferaro, and I similar to the Gainesborongh and the Centennial hat worn daring the summer. . The brim is widely faced with velvet, which should be fitted smoothly without | gathers, or else it is shirred in many fine rows; in the latter case gros grain is 1 used. Velvet or gros grain is placed in ' a wide bias scarf or folds aronnd the 1 crown, a buckle of steel or of feathers ' holds the tnrned-up brim, and a loDg plume sweeps over the crown. The hat 1 is placed slightly on one side, rather j hack from the forehead. The same -1 shape is imported in plain felt of dark shades, and in fur beaver for midwinter. | One of gray felt sent out from Paris has j a facing of myrtle green velvet on the . | brim. Around the crown is a gray, gros (j grain scarf, very wide, and in loose folds, held by a red gilt and steel brooch. A bird of paradise, with its golden ' plumage, is on the left side. These hats I are called coaching hats, and will be I very popular in dark Russian green felt, i trimmed with ribbon or velvet of the same shade and ostrich tips held by an I ornamental buckle. i Pimples on the face, rough skin, ' cfcappod huida, &*1 tr he tun and all cutaneous ' affections oared, the skin made soft and smooth, by the use of JuhipbbTab Soap.

He showed that by the use of the "long drop," introduced by the present execu1 ti ?ner, Marwood, the 1 eck of the doomed m*n is instantly broken by the fall. ; This, he contends, is not in accordance with the sentence " to be hanged by the 1 nock nntil you are dead," which he holds implies strangulation. i After a Ghost.?A few nights ago a party of Yicksburg'young ladies induced ' one of their male acquaintances to cover hims? If with a sheet and sally forth to play the ghost 011 another party of young ladies, which was expected to come along the street. The ghost went j out, but, before coming up with the | girls, met a young man, who, being curious to know if a ghost would stand i tire, whipped out his pistol and begun to shoot. The ghost didn't stand it two -eeoonds. NSW UnneroiH Envelope*. Send 10c. for 10 kinds. Alfred L. Sewell's Factory, Chicago, I1L Ci 1 A * D*r. Employment for all. Ghromo A Novelty U OatJogue free.
