Sedan as a battle field may be said to
be already obliterated. The wide re
glon over which the struggle raged
still remains, but already in these few
years have disappeared almost all
traces of the tragedy of which it was
the theater. The plow has passed over
the countless graves whose mounds
studded the strangely diversified ter
rain from Bazeilles to Fleneux, from
Givonne to Fining. The visitor to
Sedan can And now no guide to the
battle-field. The English resident who
tor the first year or two after the battle
offered himself in that capacity has
abandoned the role for lack of employ
ment, and concentrates himself on his
original avocation. I have spoken of
the visitor to Sedan, but indeed there
are no visitors. "They came very
thick for a year or two after the bat

sees two small pohit, or two small

TRAINING OxECN.-The first thing
necessary in training oxen, is kindness
then patience. I began In November last
not knowing whether I could got them
taught In time for this season or at all,
but I soon found them so tractable-that
my hiopes began to be raised. It took
.me just a day to learn that it wasn't
necessary to strike a, blow or speak a
word. The- farmers who go along
shouting at their cattle and goading
them, waste breath and strength. A
dozen yoke of oxen could butaught to
draw a load a hundred miles without
a word or a blow. It is only necessary
that the rarmer should lead, to show
the direction, and the t casts if kindly
treated and having an alrection for
their master, will do the rest. These
oxen were trained by un iform kindness.
A berlies of tricks in regular order
was fixed upon, and I put thein
through every day. I was with them
nearly all the time and they followed tue
like two pet kittens. There was a ring
in tile stables where I tuught then day
by day. First, with food in my hands,
I got them to follow me around in any
direction I choose to take. In ils way
I got then to go along on their knees
to waltz. W hat they knew when I got
them had practically to be untaught,
as it wias all done by 'gee' and 'haw.)
I found tney were quick of sight, and
that,havinig taugit tliem o artaln things,
I needed alter tLhat to simply get where
they could see ile, and to give them a
cue by the motion of my body or my
whip inl a Iertatin tllreOtlol. Ill this
way tihe waltz was taught, and wlien
they go around tie ring on their knees
I keep ahead of thieti and they lollow

THE HOUSEHOLD.
)JOSS OF THU rOTATo.-1n France,
rarina Is largely used for culinary pur
poses. The famed gravieb, sauces and
soups of France are laregely indebted
ror their excellence to that source, and
its bread and pastry equally so, while
a great deal of the so-called cognac,
imported into England from France Is
the product of theu potato. Through
Dut Germany the same uses are com
mnon. In Poland, the manufacture of
spirits from the potato is a most ex
tensive trade. "Stettin brandy," well
known In commerce, is largely Im
ported into England, and Is sent from
thence to many of her foreign posses
sions as the product of the grape, and
is placed on many a table of England
as the same, while the fair ladies of
)ur country perfume themselves with
'he spirit of potato, under the designa
lou eau do Cologne. But there are
>thor uses which this esculeat Is turn
ad to abroad. After extr.attling the
tarina the pulp Is manufa'tured into
3rnamental articles, such as pictnre
rrames, snuff boxes and several de
scription of toys, and the water that
runs from It in the process of manu
lacture is a most valuable scourer. For
perfectly cleansing woolens and such
like articles, it is the housewife's pan
acea, and if the washerwo'man happens
to have chilbains she becomes cured
by the operation.
How TO 11oL AND STmw.-To do elth
)r properly, the food nu4t be Immersed
Lt the beginning in actually boiling
water must be allowed to reach the
Jolllng poln again immediately, and
.o boll for about live minutes. The
ction of the boiling water upon the
surface of either meat or vegetables is
to harden it slightly, either juices or
mineral salts. After the pot contailn
ng the food has begun to boil the see
ond tins, it should be removed to the
side of the fire, and allowed to simmer
until the foo.d is done. This slmmer
ng, or stewing, extracts all the nutri
;lous qualities of either meat or vege
ables; the pot should be kept closely
,overed unless for a ioment wien it is
liecessary to raise the cover li order to
*emove the scum. The steam will con
lense)0 upon thle inside of tihe cover, and
1ail back Into the pot in drops of mols
Mur, if the blling is slow. Do not
hink that rapid boiling cooks faster
Iantia tihe gentle process I rec0mnend.
After the pot once bolls you cannot
nake its contents cook any faster if
ol have lire enough under it to run a
teamt engine. 8o save your fet. and
idd it to the flire little by little, to keep
he pot boilling. Remember if you boll
neat hard and fast it, will be tough and
asteles, and most of its goodness will

chant, at the ridiculously low price of
threepence a carat; the Amsterdam
cutters, however, reported unfavorably
as to its employment in their trade, and
the proposal was declined. It was
never renewed; for shortly afterwards
the serviceableness of thestone (which
is as hard as diamond itself) both for
rock drilling and gem engraving, was
discovered, and from a drug In the mar
ket it became an object of energetic
competition. "Carbonado" reambles
in appearance certain meteoric sLones
of a blackish-brown hue and cry stalline
texture. It is composed of the same
material as diamond, and is in fact sup
posed to be diamond which hiks some
how got spoiled in the making. It is
found in masses of from one to two
pounds in weight, and only In the
neighborhood of Bahia, for the lumps
of "carbon" ocoaslonally met with in
south Africa are deficient In hardness.
and thus seemi to have been arrested at
a still earlier stage of their process to
wards mineral perfection. "Bort,"
which is another deficient member of
the diamond family, but is nevertheless
also highly prized in the arts, consists
of an aggregation of tiny crystals,
mixed, like black diamonds of Borneo,
with a certain proportion of amiorphous
carbon. We see in It a failure or a freak
of nature; and just as the ring of as
teroids in the solar system is sup.
posed to represent a single majestic
planet, so the forces thus scattered In
separate centres of crystallization
would, presumably, under normal con
ditions, have united to form one radi
ant Jewel.

Gutta Peroha Covered Cables.-Gutta
percha covered cable wires are not, ac
cording to Mr. Preece, the English
electrician, without their serious disad
vantages-that Is, gum only appears to
last when in water. U bles that were
laid In 1851, and ha~ve been brought up
withiln a recent date, are now, no says,
as good as the day when first puit dlown ;
when, however, gutta percha becomes
exposed to the air, to the alternations
of climate, especily when exposed to
the action of the sun, it decays rapidly
-It becomes, by oxidizeing, a kind of
resin that can easily he crumbled into
a snufif likesubstance?. Many attempts
ii ave been made to protect it, and to
arrest its rapid decay. It has been sur
rounded with tape soaked with tar,
but the latter itself has beena found in
jurious, and has been supplanted by
other materials, though nothing has
yet been found that renders gutta
percha indestructIble. In fact, when
exposed to air, as when exposed in tun
nels, it seems to have a life of about ten
years; whe'n laid down in iron pipes,
uuder the influence of the variations
of temperature that exist there, it
seems to last about twenty years; but
in the sea, where it is exposed toequa
ble temperature and equal conditons,
it apparently seems capable of lasting
forever.
