9 KAK3I, ttARDEX AAl> HOUSEHOLD. Onts for Hny. The season thus far boa been a little cold for Indian corn, but it could hardly have been better for oats. This grain seems to delight in cold weather, and succeeds better at the north than in southern latitudes. The crop is peculiarly subjected to rust, often blasting just as the grain begins to fill, especially if the weather is extremely hot and showery at that time. In southern New England, where hay sells nearly twice as high as in the more northern portions, oats, as a grain crop, have become more and more unpopular from year to year, till at the present time probably more than half that are sown are intended j more for fodder than for the grain. Some farmers let tiiem stand till the groiu will pay for thrashing, but cut while the straw is yet green. Others cut when in bloom, and thus get the hay when it is in its best condition for feeding. Oats haVe usually been grown on old ^iUHUU tviu V/i |/vw?vvvu *1W?V vvvu cultivated one or more seasons. A few farmers make a practice of manuring oats the same spring they are sown, but usually this crop is compelled to feed upon manure already in the soil, such as has been applied to previous crops and not wholly consumed. In un-! favorable seasons, when the weather is hot and damp, oats are thought to do best under such treatment; but in a season like the present they do equally well upon newly plowed land, and with a fair dressing of stable manure. For the past two years we have made special efforts toward raising upon the farm all the fodder to be used by the stock kept, and in order to do this have experimented in various ways. Among other experiments, we have tried growing oats for fodder upon old mowing fields, which were producing too little hay for profit. The land has beeu plowed in the autumn, after the hay crop was secured. Then it is harrowed fine and smooth, during the leisure be-! tween harvesting and other work. Before i winter the soil may be made to look al- t most like an old field, providing the plowing and harrowing is thoroughly; done. Manure of some kind is applied before the ground freezes, and if convenient is cultivated lightly into the j soil. Early in spring, as soon as the soil is dry enough to work well, it is cultivated ) thoroughly and sowed to oats, at the rate of from four to five bushels per | acre. If the grain is small, four bushels ; may be enough, but otherwise five would i be better. This will give straw nearly as fine as ordinary stout timothy. It is easily cured, and, when cut early and well cured, makes hay that is better than j timothy and red top, which are allowed # to stand till dead ripe. We have had j nearly five acres of such oats this season, i _ most of which has been grown upon - greensward, and the result has been quite equal to our highest anticipations. Two fields were manured with Brighton | fertilizers, applied in the fall, after the ground froze, and left exposed during the winter, and with no perceptible I06S from such exposure, even though upon I land somewhat subject to washing. j More labor is required for growing such crops than for cutting the hay upon old run-out fields, but from our experience we should claim that such labor pays.^ It would seem that land producing: two or three crops of grain in a season, j each being fairly manured and the stub-; ble plowed in,mu9t be gaining in fertility. It certainly improves in mechani- j cal condition, being light and exoeeding- j ly mellow. We doubt if oats, as a fod- I der crop,, are yet appreciated according to their real merits.?New England; Farmer. Household Hints. Scrofula.?A tea made of ripe, dried whortleberries, and drank in place of water, is a sure and speedy cure for scrofulous difficulties, however bad. For Removing Paint from Wood.? i Mix one pound of washing soda and two pounds of unslacked lime, and if the t paint is verv strong on the wood, add half a pound of potash. Mix these ingredients well together, and dilute with ' water. Plate IUgs.?Nothing is better for j the purpose than the tops of old cotton stockings, and these should be boiled in a mixture of new milk and hartshorn powder for about five minutes, rinsing them as soon as they are taken out for a moment in cold water, and dry them before the fire. With these rags rub the Dlate brisklv as soon as it has been well washed and dried after daily use. A most beautiful, deep polish will be produced, and the plate will require nothing more than merely to be dusted with a leather or dry, soft cloth before it is | again put upon the table. Greek Tomato Pickles.?One peck I green tomatoes, ten white onions, six green peppers, one small box of mustard, two quarts of vinegar, one and one-1 half pints of salt, one-half pound white mustard seed, one-quarter pound whole cloves, one tablespoonful black pepper; cut onions and tomatoes in thin slices, and chop peppers thin; make layers of i them in a large stone pot, and sprinkle a little salt on each layer. Let them stand twenty-four hours, and then drain off the brine. Put tomatoes, onions and peppers in a preserving kettle, sprinkling on each, layer the mustard-seed, spice, and pepper, and so on to fill the kettle. ! Tiie'box of mustard should be thoroughly jrffted in the vinegar, and thrown into the ! y*kettle after everything else is in. Stew Jr.- slowly over a moderate fire for threejfir quarters of an hour. J? ' How to Preserve Ice.?The following method of preserving it is highly recommended, and is certainly worth ; trving: Cut a piece of flannel about nine inches square, and secure it by ligature round the mouth of an ordinary tumbler, so as to leave a cup-shaped depression of flannel within the tumble to about half its depth. In the flannel cup so constructed pieces of ice may be preserved many hours, all the longer if a piece of flannel from four to five inches square be used as a loose cover to the ice cups. Cheap flannel, with comparatively open meshes, is preferable, as the water easilv drains through it and the ice is thus kept quite dry. When good flannel with close texture is employed, a small hole must be made in the bottom of the flannel cup, otherwise it holds the water, and facilitates the melting of the ice. Placed in a cup of this kind, two ounces of ice has been known to last for nine or ten hours. Mr. Lester, of Providence, R. J., says that when he was a boy ten or twelve 1 years of age. he was one day standing in Market square with his grandfather, when four Irishmen came up, one of whom asked the distance to Pawtucket. He was told by the old gentleman that it was about four miles. 44 Well, faith," said Pat, in a mock tone of encourage- j ineut to his three tired companions, 44 that's uot bad at all?only a mile apiece for n?." 44 Whom do you want to see in Pawtucket?" inquired Mr. j Lester, senior. 44 Be jabers," was the quick reply, 441 want to see me6elf there the most of anybody !" i * Remarkable Escapes of Eminent Men. 1 Some years ago a young man, Tjolding a subordinate position in the East India Company's service, twice attempted to deprive himself of life by snapping a leaded pistol at his head. Each time the pistol missed fire. A friend entering his room shortly afterward, he requested him to' fire it out of the window; it then went off without any difficulty. Satisfied thus that th-. weapon had been duly primed and loaded, the yourg man , sprang up, exclaiming: 441 must be preserved for something great," and from that moment gave up the idea of suicide, which, for some lime previous, had been uppermost in his thoughts. That young man afterward became Lord Clive. . Two brothers were on one occasion walking together, when a violent storm of thunder and lightning overtook them. One was struck dead on the spot; the other was spared, else would the name of the great reformer, Martin Luther, have been unknown to mankind. Bacon, the sculptor, when a tender boy oi five years old, fell into the pit of a soap-boiler, and must have perished, had not a workman, just entering the yard, observed the top of his head. When Oliver Cromwell was an infant, a monkey snatched him from his cradle, leaped with him from a garret window, and rau along the leads of the house. The utmost alarm was excited among the I inmates, and various were the devices used to rescue the child from the guardianship of his newly-found protector. All were unavailing; bis would-be resl cners bad lost courage, and were ih despair of ever seeing the baby alive again, when the monkey quietly retraced its steps, and deposited its burden safely on the bed. On a subsequent occasion, ! the waters had well-nigh quenched his insatiable ambition. He fell into a deep pond, from drowning in which a clergyman named Johnson was the sole instrument of his rescue. At the siege of Leicester, a young soldier, about seventeen years of age, was drawn out for sentinel duty. One of his comrades was very anxious to take his place. No objection was made, and this man went. He was shot dead while on guard. The young man first drawn, afterward became the author of the " Pilgrim's Progress." Doddridge, when born, was so weakly an infant he was believed to be dead. A nurse, standing by, fancied she saw some signs of vitality. Thus the feeble spsrk of life was saved from being extinguished, and an eminent author preserved to the world. John Wesley, when a child, was only just preserved from fire. Almost the moment after he was rescued, the roof of the house where he had been fell Of Dkili'ri TTannr o oimilar inofanAo 111. VI 1 UUl^ .UdUJ, H PttUillU U.IXW.W is recorded. Many years have now elapsed since three subalterns might have been seen struggling in the water off St. Helena; one of them, peculiarly helpless, was fast succumbing. He was saved to live as Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington. The life of John Newton is but the history of marvelous deliverances. As a youth he had agreed to accompany some friends on board of a man-of-war. He arrived too late; the boat in which his friends had gone was capsized and all its occupants drowned. On another occasion, when tide-surveyor in the port of "Liverpool, some busines? had detained him, to the great surprise of those who were in the habit of ooserving his undeviating punctuality. He went out in the boat, as heretofore, to inspect a ship, which blew up before he reached her. Had he left the shore a few moments sooner, he must have perished with the, the rest on board,. Gjpsy Burial and Baptism. A recent number of the Boston Herald says : Six families of gypsies are encamped near Yalesville, Conn. They are under the leadership of two men named Allen and Broadway, have a good character for honesty from the neighbors, and appear to be*a superior kind of tribe. One of their infants died last week, and Mr. Church, a local undertaker, was secured to make arrangements for the funeral. Wednesday evening saw a company of the gypsies gathered around an open tent, in which lay the little coffin with a candle *at each end. Thursday noon they came in procession, with four or five wagons, to the West Meriden cemetery. Rev. F. W. Harriman read onrl mo/lo OYI ft/1. I BT1 ?1VD Uli U1C giaiv uuu uunav ? ? dress. The parents exhibited all the Datural signs of grief and affection, but without any extravagant demonstrations. Finding that many of the tribe were accustomed to attend the worship of the Church of England (more or less) when at home in "the old country," and several of the women expressing a wisli to have their children baptized, Mr. Harriman visited their camp Friday afternoon and held a service, which was certainly a novel sight to all who witnessed it On a little knoll, retired from the tents and shaded by an oak tree, was placed a wagon seat, covered with white and bearing a beautiful china bowl filled with water. Around this improvised table stood the gypsies and a number of visitors, making a company of about fifty persons. Mr. Harriman baptized seven children, one of them only five days old, and addressed the elders on the practical duties and responsibilities of parents. The gypsies were reverent and attentive, and expressed much gratitude for the interest taken in them and their cliildren. Within the week the gypsy camp has been the scene of birth and death. Thoughts for Saturday Night, Reason is a very light rider and is easily shook off. . How sad a sight is human happiness to those whose thoughts can pierce beyond an hour. The object of art is to crystalize emotion into thought, and then to fix it in form. All pleasure is more or less imaginative, and our greatest happiness arises fmm df?lnsion_ The surest sign of age is loneliness. While one finds company in himself and his pursuits he cannot grow old, whatever his years may be. The severest punishment of any injury is the coisciousness of having done it; and no one but the guilty knows the withering pains of repentance. There cannot live a more unhappy creature than an ill-natured old man, who is neither capable of receiving pleasures nor sensible of doing them to others. In youth grief comes with a rush and overflow, but it dries up, too, like the torrent. In the wiuter of life it remains a miserable pool, resisting all evaporation. A thousand wheels of labor are turned by deur affections and kept iu motion by self-sacrificing endurance; and the crowds that pour forth in the morning juid return at night are daily proeessions of love and duty. Nicknaming Professors. A correspondent of the New York} Fvcning Poxt writes from Eastou, Pa., about the University students there. He says: * : * The facetiousness of the students ..is- 1 plays itself in the nicknames which they bestow imou their instructors. Dr. ' March, who stands at the head of the corps of instructors here, and is one of1. the ablest Anglo-Saxon and philological j scholars on either side of the Atlantic, is 1 yclept "Shanghai." That the worthy doctor is familiar with his own sobn- j quet is evident, for one of his little boys, when asked who he was, answered: "I . am little Shanghai." The late Dr. Coffin, i 1 whose loss is still keenly felt by the 1 1 institution, was called "Old Spookie," and his son " Young Spookie," from an * awkward habit they had of turning up . among the students at unexpected times | . and places. An anecdote is told of the j 1 doctor which is characteristic of him, for 1 e he was at heart a modest and retiring, j even a timid, man. He had missed sev-1 c, eral chickens from his roosts, and sus- j pected a student who was boarding him-1 , self in his own room. He planned a ! Anlnvif of Viiq moal Ann I ^ biupiIOC 1UX llic vuipiv ?v uiu VUV day ; but the young thief, seeing him t coming, hastened with his ill-gotten poultry to Ins bedside, and was on his knees 4 in the act of concealing it when the doc- j T tor broke in upon him. The good doctor i , beat a hasty retreat, exclaiming at the r same time: " I beg a thousand pardons ; " I did not mean to interrupt you in your c devotions !" Dr. Porter, a professor of natural sciences, a friend of Dr. Leidy, j of Piiiladelphia, is familiarly Known among the boys as "Bugs." In many . cases this affectionate nomenclature is formed by taking the first syllable of the name and adding to it an "ie," after the fashion of the young ladies; thus, Pro- !j fessor Bloomberg is known as "Bloomie," and tutor Diefenderfer as ^ " Diefie." Numerous laughable in- , stances^have'ocourred where some freshman, in his innocence and ignorance, has B. accosted a professor by one of these lat- c fcer names. It would be doing the students injustice to think that these names * are used out of any disrespect. This is one of the ways the boys have of divesting their instructors of the grim terrors which invest them in the class-room. ? The students, however, do not seem to 1 fail in recognizing the eternal fitness of , things, for now that Dr. Coffin is dead, : the old jesting name of "Spookie" is laid aside, and you will not hear the roughest boy among them making use , it. 1 1 The Value of Corn as Food. The Milwaukee Milling Journal be- y lieves that the economic value of corn as 8 fodder for the human family is underrated, and presents the following reasons ? for its theory: Wheat is the dearest food consumed by mankind, and when the comparative P value and cheapness of the different grains is more thoroughly understood, the singular fact will be developed that a there is as much caste in food as in the human race that is supported by it. 8 Scarcity and high cost of wheat will eventually iorce nations and individuals to learn that the moral and financial elevation of the masses depends upon h the substitution of some food material ? cheaper than wheat, and bearing nearer a proportion to the reduced scale of wages c now prevalent the world over. When t the conventional necessities of life in- v crease in cost laborers' wages diminish, v and suffering and discontent ensue. The r following comparison will show that corn t as well as oats is cheaper food than 1 wheat: Oats contain 19.91 per cent, d nourishment; corn, 12.30 per cent., and e wheat, 14.06 per cent. Taking present a Boston market quotations, and each j pound of nourishment from oats at fifty- t eight and one-quarter cents per bushel c costs 9.33c.; from corn at sixf^-seven t cents per bushel, each pound l ine and s three-quarter cents, while from wheat at c $1.07 per bushel each pound of nourish- t ment costs 20.61c. c The corn crop of the United States r equals the wheat crop of the civilized c world, while fortj per cent, of the latter 1 cannot raise sufficient for their own wants. The deficiency in the United c States wheat crop for 1876 exceeded the Is entire export of 1875, while our exports 3 of wheat in 1875 were 10,000,000 bushels i less than that of 1874, showing that I wheat cannot be claimed as a sole de- t pendence from the rapidly increasing a population of the world. Corn must be- i fore many years be consumed as a par- 1 tial substitute, at least, for wheat, and I the better the quality of the grain, and t the more perfect the process of prepar- t ing it for food, the quicker will come i the enlarged demand. This is in part t confirmed by the fact that our exports of a 1876 were three per cent, for our whole ' crop, while for the twelve preceding years they averaged only one per cent, of the corn produced. i Water in the Moon. i In a review of Nelson's recent work on 1 the aspect of the moon, the Academy i mentions some of the reasons for be- i lieving that w^ter cannot remain on its i surface as a liquid. Day and night on i the moon are each a fortnight long. On < the night side any water would be 1 frozen solid. When the sun's rays melt- i ed this ice in a lunar morning, there ^ would be no liquid produced, but in- ? stead an invisible vapor. If we assume ^ that the moon has an atmosphere of a ? hundrath of the density of our air, the 1 boiling point of water on the moon is ? forty-two and a half degrees Fahrenheit, t But if Regnault's estimate be correct, i and the moon's atmosphere has only a three-hundreth of the density of our air, the boiling point of water on the moon \ is below the melting point of ice ; and, 1 therefore, no water could make its ap- I pearance on the moon's surface. There \ * i i r? :?i..?^ ( 16 a wiue neiu lur ixajjoumic, utotctoi, as to the changes which might take place in ice and glaciers under such strange conditions. The notion that the lunar surfaces may be more or less capped with ice, seems to be gaining favor. A Family Struck by Lightning.^ During a recent thunder storm which j * 1 x ?1. _ occurred in tne mgnt, reuiueuue uc- < longing to Mr. Theodore Studebaker, in Keg Creek Township, Iowa, was struck by lightning, aid every member of the ? family, all of whom had retired to bed, ! were more or less injured. Mr. Stude- j baker had his right leg badly burned , from his hip to his foot. His wife had 1 the left side of her face completely blis- J tered by the subtle fluid. In the same ' room their little son was sleeping in a j trundle bed, and at the time was lying on his back, in which position he received a very severe shock, the fluid striking him apparently on the chin, and ' running down the front of his body, , passed off from both his feet, scorching i the skin like fire as it went. The hired ' man, who was sleeping in another apart- 1 ment, was momentarily rendered insensible, and for some time after conscious- \ ness was restored was unable to speak a word. Not one of them was fatally injured, and they are all recovering j | rapidly. j ENGLISH KINGS. How Home of Entflnnd'h Knlrrn IMtd. William the Conqueror died from his mormons fat, from drink, and from the ,'iolence of his passions. William Rufus died the death of the joor stags that he hunted. Henry the First died of gluttony.

A Japanese Eating-House, The most popular of all the eatinglouses of the capital is the Matsuda, on he Ginza, at Kiobashi, This is really 11 immense establishment, having acommodations for two thousand cusomers at once. It^is owned by a realthy woman named^Iatsuda Kane, by rhom it was first opened in 1873. No ooms are let for lodging purposes, and be patrons are mostly residents of ?okio, though occasionally a rural party aay be seen staring at the unaccustomd sights about them, to the no small musement of their urban neighbors. .Tie customer is given a numbered icket on entering, by which his ac ountwith the house is kept. A few ooms are furnished in semi-foreign tyle, but most preserve their Japanese haracter, and the food is almost entirely native. The " bill of fare" inludes some twenty different dishes, auging in price from five to fifteen ents each, the charges depending argely on the state of the fish market. Vhile no meat is served, fowls are ooked in a number of forms, and all dnds of liquors can be obtained. The Jatsuda is opened about eight o'clock n the morning, and closed at nine or lalf past-nine in the evening. The Hisiest hours are at midday and after unset, when the fifty attendants are :ept very active by the crowds of lungry and thirsty patrons.
