GARDEN HOUSEHOLD. Domestic Uinta. Preserving Syrup.?To every pound of block sugar add one gill of water, and to every ten pounds, one ounce Russian isinglass, dissolved; boil and skiru till clear; this is ready for any kind of l'ruit pound for pound. Bran Tea.?A v.;ry cheap.and useful drink in colds, fevers and restlessness from pain : Put a handful of bran in a pint and a half of cold water, let it boil rather more than half an hour, then strain it, and, if desired, flavor with sugar and lemon juice; but it is a pleasant drink without any addition. Silver Cake.?Two cupfuls of powdered suirar, two and one-half cupfuls of sifted dour, one-half capful of butter, three-fourths of a cupful of sweet milk, the whites of eight eggs, one teaspoonful of baking powder; stir butter and sugar to a cream, then add the whites of the eggs, beaten to a stiff froth; then a U1 the milk; then stir the yeast powder through the dour; flavor with bitter almond. Queen's Pudding ?One pint of flue bread crumbs, one quart of sweet milk, one cupful of sugar, the yolks of four eggs well beaten, grated rind of om lemon, a tablespoonful of butter; bake until done, but not watery; beat the whites of the four eggs to a stiff froth, and s^eten them with one tablespoonful of sugar, in which there has been stirred the juice of one lemon; spread over the pudding a layer of jelly; pour the whites of the eggs over this; place in the oven and bake lightly. Fried Sweet Potatoes.?Peel the' sweet potatoes; slice them about a quar t.t of an inch thick, or cat them in shavings, round and round, as you would pee' a lemon; dry them well in a clean cloth, and fry them in lard or dripping; take care that your fat and frying pan are quite clean; put it on a quick tire; watch it, and as soon as the lard boils and is still, pat in the slices of potatoes and keep moving them until they are crisp; take them up and lay them to drain on a sieve; send them up with a very little salt sprinkled over them. The UaefHl Work of Insects. Insects are useful in destroying dead vegetable substances, which are even more pernicious to man than animals in the same oondition, and not only the soft and suoculent portions, bnt even the solid wood is oonsumed by them. In the immense forests of the tropics the ground would be covered, and new shoots be choked up by the ruins of trees which had fallen by accident or age, and which it would require ages to disperse without the aid of insects. But no sooner is a tree fallen than one tribe of animals cuts its bark to pieces, another bores holes in it in all I directions so that the moisture from dew or rain may stand, decompose, and soften. Others come to eat off the parts that are softened, and bo oq till it is entirely broken up and scattered, and this is done with such expedition that they will, in a few weeks, destroy and carry away the trunks of large trees without leaying a particle behind, and in places where, two or three years 4>efore, there was a populous town, if the inhabitants, as is frequently the case, have chosen to abandon it, there will be a very thick wood, and not a vestige of post to be seen. Apple Batter. Pennsylvania is famous, among other things, for apple butter, or 11 strong apple sauce," as it is called in New Euglaud, and a Pennsylvania farmer's w fe tells the Germ an town Telegraph how she makes it, as follows : Take thirty gallons of sweet cider, that just from the presets to be preferred; boil it down to one-third of the quantity, then add together about two bushels of pared, quartered and cored sweet apples, about one-third at a time, judging as to the quantity of apples; then stir the whole mass constantly with a long-handled stirrer, reaching down to the bottom; this stirrer must be from four to five inches broad at the bottom, rounded a little to fit the bottom of the kettle, and have half a dozen or more half-inch holes bored through it. The mass must be kept boiling and stirred until tta whole is reduced to say one-half of tne original quantity of cider, assumes a dark color, and is perfectly smooth and palatable. For this purpose samples should from time to time be taken out and tasted. When done it should be put in jars, well tied over with paper, and then placed in a cool place. Otherwise, it may " work " and lose a great deal of its value. Scab In 8heep. Scab in sheep can be cored very easily by dipping the animal in strong tobacco water. . Make a vat large enough to admit the entire body of the largest animal in the flock; then steep tobaooo sufficient to make a strong solution. Pat into the vat, and when cool dip, immersing the entire body except the head. Fill up the vat as the solution is exhftnstftd with a frfishsnnnlv arwl nrrv??, /1 until the entire flock has been dipped, and we will predict a cure of scab for one season, if for no longer time. Mange in horses may be cured by thorough washing with soap suds, and after removing the scabs or crust apply with a brush oil of tar one ounce, whale oil, twenty ounces, or one half pound each of tar and sulphur will answer the purpose if well rubbed in. The stables must, however, be thoroughly cleaned, or the little mite causing mange will appear soon again. Tm Preserve Urapei. Take good bunches and pick off all decayed or defective berries, and hang them by threads to sticks placed across the edge of a clean wooden box (a new or thoroughly cleaned cheesebox an- j ewers perfectly), deep enough to contain the bunches without touching the bottom TTonrr fVta nlnoo 1 WV1XA. XAUUg VUU VUUVUOT V4VK7V; I but without touching each other. Then take fine poplar, oak, birch, or maple j sawdust, clean and free from moisture, i but not overdried, and poor it into the j boxes, working it with a small rod among th9 bunches so that they are j ? oompletely enveloped. When the box J is filled, seal the ends of all the exposed : main stalks with a drop of sealing-wax or melted resin. Cover the box first i with a sheet of newspaper, and then j with the cover, and store the boxes in a ; cool, dry cellar. About teu pounds j may be put in an ordinary sized cheese- ! box. How it Works. > " My friends," said a returned missionary, a: orte of the late anniversary mcoimgs, ''let us avoid sectarian bitterness. The inhabitants of Hindostan, 1 where I have been laboring for many years, have a proverb that: "Though yon bathe a dog's tail in oil and bind it in spjints, yet you c>-.unot get the crook fait of it.' Now a man's sectarian bias is simply the crook in the dog's tail, which cannot be eradicated, and I hold I that every one should be allowed to wag | his own peculiarity in peace." LEADING TO THE GRAVE. The Theory of lurbrlety an Set Forth by hd Afsoclation ot Physician*. The association for the cure of inebriates had its annual session in Philadelphia. The theory upon which medical rystems for the cure of drunkenness are based was explained forcibly and clearly in a paper read before the opening of -the convention. From this paper wo note the following points made : Inebriety is one manifestation of a cerebro-physical disorder, just as epilepsy is another, with a distinct duration, mortality, and prognosis. Ten years is usually the limit of time after its development in which it results fatally. Of late years Dr. Crothers asserts that this disease takes les* time to do its daadly work, owing to the in crease 01 mneritecl degenerations, irregular work, the extremes of luxurious and poor liviag, unhealthy brain work, and other means, which lower vitality. It is most difficult to overcome " in persons who have other nervous or cerebral disorders, o/ who possess eccentric or untrained will power and limited education, in paroxysmal drinkers, in those who smoke or chew excessively, or when it originates in some injury to the brain, or appears suddenly without any particular cause." The mortality of inebriety equals that of the most fatal diseases, but under proper treatment at asylums the recoveries may exceed those of any other cerebral or nervous affection. Other papers were read in proof of the fact that inebriety was frequently a matter of heredity, as is con sumption, the morbific force causing it taking sometimes the shape of epilepsy or hysteria in one child and drunkenness in another. The producing cause is most frequently a habit of moderatqg drinking in father or grandfather. Temperance and the ravages of drunkenness have of late years become distasteful subjects among people who assume a certain degree of refinement. They are not fanatics. The violence of temperance reformers disgusts them. They are able to take their glass of wine without degenerating into beasts, and ' there is no reason why everybody should not do the samo. If they cannot, why ?and a shrug of the shoulders ends the \ discussion. Meanwhile one-fifth of the ; deaths in the country may be traced di-1 rectly or indirectly to inebriety, and j one-half the murders and other crimes I which fili our prisons and jails are due I to the same cauce. Yet so strong is the ! distaste to arguing the question that even by prison reformers the subject is ' virtually ignored. The mistake appears j to us to have been in urging drunken- J ness as a crime aud temperance as a vir- j tue. That is only one side of the question. The one is also a disease and the j other a necessary precaution to i-ave : life. If the young lad starting out in life, and the mother who follows him ! with entreaties and prayers, understood J that the glass of liquor in his case was not only a moral delinquency but a step ; toward suicide, just as dangerous as ex- j posure to cold would be to a consump- i tive, his danger would be lessened one-! half. No man is ashamed to protect a j weak body, but he rushes into tampta-1 tion to prove his power of resistanoe as 1 strong as his neighbor's. We are glad to find from the reports of the association that their rational method of meeting this foremost evil of our time is so fast gaining the approval of the public. ?New York Tribune. An Indian Romance. In the early days of Tike county, Missouri, when the cat-like paniher roamed the hills and the fleet footed deer bounded through the forests, there lived near Bowling Green a man named Noah Adkins. Realizing the truth of the adage that "it is not good for man to be alone," he took unto himself a wife. This lady was named Allison, who had a son William by a former husband. This son William was a fine physical man, aDdnot inferior in intellect. In 1846 he joined Colonel Ralls' regiment, in Sterling Price's brigade, and marched - n.i.'# - ?i i_ ^ x i_ . CO cue wars m ^ainorma, wuere xie iuut part in the conflict at Santa Crnz and other battles. After his return he got into a quarrel with his stepfather. They adjourned to Crane's tanyard to tight it out, and by singular fatality each shot j the other's arm off. This affair brought on a separation between Noah and his wife, and the latter went with her son William and her son-in-law, James Robbins (once a candidate for sheriff of Pike county), to Independence, Mo. Some time previous to this a son John had been born to Mrs. Adkins, and he concluded to follow the fortunes or misfortunes of his mother. After living in Independence some time William Allit>on got the contract for carrying the mails between Independence and old Santa Fe. While acting in this capacity he was killed by the Indians. The boy (John) wandered away, and wa ? captured by the Sioux Indians. It is rarely that ever a prisoner escapes torture and death at the hands of the savages, but Adkins seemed reserved by some unaccountable stroke of fate for another destiny. He became acquainted with the ways of the redskins, fettled down to live among them, and finally became one of their chiefs, and was in command of one of the detachments at the Little Big Horn massacre, where the gallant Caster and his heroic little army rode into the jaws of j death. These facts were related by an j old scout named Cook, who told them in j Bowling Green. . Homely Maxims. Take care of the pennies. Look wellI to your spending. No matter what comes in, if more goes out you will always be poor. The art is not in making money, but in keeping it. Little expenses, like mice in a barn, when they ; are many, make a great waste. Hair by ! hair heads get bald; straw by straw the ; thatch goes off the cottage, and drop by j drop the rain comes into the chamber. | A barrel is soon empty if the tap leaks i but a drop a minute. When you mean j to save begin with your mouth; many j thieves pass down the red lane. The ale ; jug is f. great waste. In all other things keep within oompass. Never stretch j your legs further than your blanket j will reach, or you will soon be cold. In | clothes choose suitable and lasting stuff, and not tawdry iineries. To be warm is the main thing; never mind the looks. A fool may make money, but it: needs a wise man to spend it. Remember it is easier to build two chimneys i than to keep one going. If you give all, to the back and board there is nothing ' left for the savings bank. Fare hard ! and work hard when you are young, and j you will have a cliance to rest when you are old. " Ours."?An English coachman (on ; being "old by his lordship that he will not want to drive out to-day): "Well, j me lord, then perhaps I had better take our children out?"?His lordship : "Now, Johnson, look here; I don't mind your say iDg our carriage, our 'orses, i our 'ouse ; but I must draw the line? | and I draw it at our children." 1 NEWS OF THE .

A characteristic incident connected dth the famine in the north of China eaches the Shanghai Courier from Pekin. It seems that the scarcity of food has been greatly felt in many of he outlying country tillages, and the iearth >vas all the keener from the fact .hat the people were uncared for by a single mandarin, the only authorities in ;he neighborhood being soldiers. So an jld gentleman, a scholar and a man of nnch repute, bestirred himself, and in spite of much discouragement from his friends he went round to all the well-toio gentry with a beautifully wriUen pe tition praying for assistance. Tiie old nan pleaded the cause of the sufferers io well that he succeeded in scraping together not less than 3,000 taels of silver; but alas ! it was a drop in the bucket, md was not sufficient to feed a tenth of those who needed succor. However, he managed to open an establishment for providing the villagers with "congee," m the soup kitchen principle, though the amount that each man received was barely large enough to hold body and 30ul together. At length one morning a mysterious placard was found affixed to the door of the congee house, urging the heads of the district, if they wanted more assistance, to apply to two powerful mandarins, who were unnamed, connected with the imperial government. Twenty thousand taels, said the anonymous author of the proclamation, is required to do any good; and the only way in which that sum is likely to be procured is by appealing to these high officers. For some time nobody seemed willing to go upon so venturesome an errand. At last, however, one of the Pekin officials known as "Yu-shin"? " the emperor's eyes and ears"?made it his duty to find out from whom the proclamation emanated. His researches arought him in contact with the two ministers who had been referred to, and, :o his unbounded astonishment, he no sooner mentioned his business than they :ach presented him with 10,000 taels, saying at the same time that as they had provided the money, he was to see that 't was well dispensed and take all trouble eff their hands. It also transpired that ihey themselves, and no other, were the tuthors of the proclamation. A Suggestion.
