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.

The Democratic State Convention assembled
at Saratoga to renominate a candid&io for
governor, left vacant by tho declination of
Iloratio Seymour. Hon. Luoins Robinson,
present controller of the State, was nominated
on the first ballot, and the nomination was
thereupon made unanimous. Hon. John Koliey
insisted upon his name being withdrawn
1 from the electoral ticket, that honor might be
ooufeired upon Horatio Seymour, which was
done Lucius Robinson, the candidate of
the New York Democracy for governor, was
bvirn in Greene county, N. Y., in 1810, and on
arriving at maturity pursued the profession of
law successfully. After serving as district at'
torney of his native oounty for a number of
' years, he was appointed commissioner of chani
eery of New York city, holding the office from
' 1843 to 1846. Mr. Robinson distinguished himself
as a member of Assembly in 1859 and 1873.
; I a 1861 he was nominated for oontroller by the
Union-Demooratio-Republicau party, and was
elected by the unparalleled majority of 109,000.
He was renominated and elected for a
second term in 1863 by the Union-Repubhoan
oarty. In 1866 he was nominated for a third
, term by the Democrats, but *aa defeated. In
ia75 be v,a& again elected controller on the
| Democratic ticket.
i Round Hats.
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. That
r I made by Caswell, Hazard <fc Co., New York, is
* the only kind that can be relied on, as there
, i are many imitations, made from oommon tar,
' j which sue worthless.

Hanging,
An English coroner has made a care|
fnl inquiry as to whether the murdertrs,
Fish and Thompson, lately executed at
Liverpool, met their deaths by stranglation
or dislocation of the vertebra.
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.
