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.

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

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

An Incident of a Famine.
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.
Great trouble and expense are frequently
incurred in the prosecution of
tffenses, says the Sun. Evidence is
>rocured with difficulty, and a thousand
mpediments are mterposea in tne way
>f proof.
We have a suggestion to offet to disrict
attorneys, the adoption of which
rould save them much labor and vexaion
: Whenever a man is indicted, at
he same time get him nominated for a
mblic office. Evidence will be forthoming,
and abundant, that he has comaitted
every offense known to the law;
nd if the office be sufficiently high, the
>robabilities are that he will be shown
0 have invented several new crimes,
leretofore unknown.

she commenced the use of the 8yrup;
he first four bottles made but little impression,
but while taking the fifth she began to
mprove rapidly, and now, after using six of the
