The Sent ry of the World. A special correspondent says-desiring tc get the oilnion of that celebrated amateut aatttiomer, Mr. Samuel Longhorne Clement on the new comet, I visited his house thit morning just before daybreak. fis pasa: stonate fondness for observing celestial plie. noinena Is well known. I was confideni that I should find him at his telercope it the turret that caps the northeast corner 01 his extraordinary mansion. A few dlr(cteot pebbles ' brought him to the window. "llelloi" taid he. "Come up but don't wake the baby. Mind the sixth stair or the s(cond flight; it creak; a hades of v falsetto." So saying, lie lot down lils doo key at tho end ot s string. When I reached the turiet my friend wai no loqger inside. i1e was sitting in an open Fcultic leading to the roof, smoking 1 cigar. With both hands he grasped a long pole. When it grew light I pIe ceived that It was a boat-hook. ils face had a iaggard look, and his long legs hung listlessly through the Fcattleway "You loolk tired, blark" said I. '-Have you bheen at it all night?" "All night?" said he, with it groan that consisted of a vowel and two consonant sounds. "All night?" This nakes the fourth consecutive night that I haven't closed half an eye. It's wearing on me. This constant responshibi li'y is undermisnig my constitution. ly senses of (Ilt is as strong as the next man's but sometimes I feel like letting go my grip, e'ven if the condemned planet slides into the revised version of brimstone. All night? Good night! Some other night!" There was a degree of exasperation in his tone which the circuiistanices did not seem to warrant. . "Well," said 1, ''there's no occasion for anger. Nobody compels you to sit up here in the malarious morning atmosphere and early dew." le looked for a minute as if he was going to broak out with a toirent of objur gation. Then lie miatetsed his wrath and gazed down upon ime with an expression of melancholy pity. "TIhe tail of that cniet, " said he, sadly waving the end of his pole toward the nor thern sky, "'as, according tomy calculations, a trifle over forty-two million miles long; yet it wouldn't reach more thani a quarter way through the skulls of sonie pecple that I know. The reckless ignorance of man kind amazes me more indiimore the older I grow. Why don't I go to bed? Yes it would be a perfectly easy land naturally thing to go to bed, wouldn't it, now I Per haps I had better go to bed." -And lie laughed deri'lvely. " Walit in the name of coimnion sense are you driving at Clemens ? " I demanded. " Oh, nothing at all," he replied, with a sardonic wave of his pole. "Nothing cx cept that while the mad revelry of the world goes on below, and the ii.ulittide pursues its wonted avocatio :s precisely as though a universal catastroph3 wits not iunument, one solitary watcher sits up here in his lonely tower, braving danger and incurring great fatigue for the rake of his infatuated fellow beings.

Eous vs. MEAT. - Would it not be wise to substitute4nore' eggs for meet in our daily diet I About one-third of the weight of an egg is solid nutriment. This ia more than (an be said of meat. There are no bones.. no tough pieces that have to be laid aside. A good egg Is made up of ten parts shell, eight parts white and thirty parts yolk. Tie white of an egg contains sixty six per cent water, the yolk fifty-two per cent. Practically an egg is animal food, and yet there is n. no of the disagreeable work of the butcher necessary to obtain it. The vegetarians of England use eggs freely, and many of these men are eighty and ninety years old, and have been remark ably free from .iess. Ergs are best when cooked four minutes. This takes away the animal taste that is offensive to some, but dots not harden the white or yolk so as to make I hem hard to digest. Au egg if cooked very hard Is difiloult of digestion except by those of stout stomachs; such eggs should be eaten with bread and masticated very fluely. An egg spread on toast is food fit for a king, if kings deserve any better food than any body else, which is doubtful. Frierd eggs are less wholesome than boiled ones. An egg droped into hot water is not only clean and handsome, but a delicious morsel. Most, people spoil the taste of their eggs by adding pepper and salt. A little sweet butter is the best dressing. Eggs con tain much phosphorus, which is supposed to be useful t those who use their brains much. PUT C.oviRm ON YO'R LAND. - An Ohio i)a)er say that by clovering hundreds of farms that were about woithless have been resctied fron dilapidation and ruin. It Is an accepted truism that as long as "clover will catch," the farm can soon be restored to pIaying fertility, and by agcod rotation is evea getting more productive and profitable; for atter some years of such treat mont the land will bear harder farming; that is, two or three crops may succeed a good coat of clover before lying down to clover again. Rough new land should be subdued by the use of new clover. Nothing so ef fectually roots out stumps and kills weeds and sprouts, and prepairs the land for the plow and good paying crops. Wild new land should always have it sown on the first grain crop down. It sa res a vast amount of labor, for in a few years i1 so tames the ground and clears it of enemies to the plow that it works like, old ground, and is good for full crops. One great error is often fallen into, a-id that is following the o'. tradition that a bushel of clover seed will do for eight acres. That may have beeni enoIglh to cover land partially when it wi.s new, but whoever aims at getting up his land in a speedy and profitable way should sow a bushel on four acres, so that his laud may be thoroughly shaded. WoNDEs oF 13RtooM ConN. - Broom corn is likely at no distant day to revo lutionize the breadstuff supplyof the world. I A process has been discovered by which I the flnest and most delicious flour can be inade fron the seed to the extent of one half its weight, and leave the other half a valuable food for making beef and milk. t iie average yield per acre is three hun dred bushels, and in many instances five hundred bushels, or thirtythousand pounds, have been secure(. Nor does it exhaust tihe soil as Indian corn, from the fact that it feeds from the (deeper soil, and assimii lates its tood from a crude- state. It belongi to the siaie genius as the s . et cane, coi Mionly known as sorghum, which as an article of food is growing rapidly in public esteemi, ai-d fromt the seed of which a most niritioius flour can be obtamned. W -:-r llk:(-rs. - We give the following< advice to farmners, wholi next to fishermeni, 1 are apt to get their boots wet through: WVhen the b)oots are taken ofT, liii them' (quite- fli with dIry oats.

I in tabut a tarredl rope maintains a' high avierage of tenacity nmuch longer thani aimnunturredl one, by re-ison of the protec. tioii the tar affords againist atmospheric and (Iber causes of deterioration. The quantity of tar found most suitable is about I l5 per cent. rf tha~ weight of tihe rope.

Th'iis loduices a large growth of roota close Io-thec trees, for roots grow where the soil is richest. Oichards need lime and ashesI more than muaniure, and thiese soon produce healthy, smooth bark. P~osition and distlance. -That persons haivig thec use of one ey e~only can estimate distmuicc nearly as wvell as t host liavitig two eyes, is a wvell known fact. Where a per son has lost the sight of one eye, the power of judlging by the other has to be acquired. Two things, says Professor Hlehnholtz, have~ here to be taken into account-fhust, the apeaance of the objects in relation to other hbjets ; amid secondly, the paralhax of muotion. The outlines of the more (di8 tant, (ajects are always covered by those of the neanrer onies where they cross, and hence the ddlhculty of recognizing that the image projectedl by a convex lens or a con cave imor is nearer to the observer than time lens or the mirror. Further: the oh jedt projecting a shiadow on any surface alIways lies before that surface. These t wo things make ump the appearance of the ob, jeets, anmd they are rarely overpowered by others ; for example, stereoscapic combina tiomis, as is demonstrated by Dove's pretudo scope, composed of t wo rectangular prisms, andei howing to each eye a reflected Image inivertedI from right to left. Tihe parallax of nautioni is seen as a shifting of the ob. ject, especially if it is near, and mioving tihe hieadt from sideO to sidle, or up or down. 'Tlis elemient also overpowers the stero 5scop)c e >mubumat ion of the image of the two eyes. Carefu/ observations have shown tihe following to beO about time average growth in twelve years of several varieties of hard wood whten planted In groves and cultiva tedl: White tiupie becomes 1 foot in diame ter and 80 leet high ; ash, leaf maple, or box elder, 1 foot in dianmeter and 20 feet high; white wIllow, 18 inches In diameter and 40 feet high t yellow willow, 18 inches in (diamneter anid 35 feet bigh ; lombardy p~opuilar, .10 inches in diameter and 40 feet high; blue and white ash, 10 inches mn di ameter and 25 feet high ; black walnut and butternut, 10 inches in diameter and 20 feet lugh. R~ccent investigations have shown the incorm c. ness of the pretty stories of insect eating piants which have so often been given. Inisets are. often catught by the sticky . exudations of certain plants, or otherwise, but no evidence caii be found to show that the plants digest or eat the in sects, aind thmrive by an adundance of such hood, as has becen so often asserted.

Cut the meat into dice with a rery sharp knife ; to every pound of meat iso one pint of cold water. Cut up the neat on a dish, not on a board, as the lat er absorbs the juices wastefully. Have the roper measure of water besides you, in a troper soup basin or bowl, and as you cut ip the meat sprinkle it up moderately with tilt, and throw it into the cold water, [here lot it remain for two hours; then out it all into a saucepan and set it. on the ire. Watch carefully the first rising, and kim and secure this; it is the very es ence of the beef being thrown out. Put it n a clean bowl, and let the beef go on boil ng for ten muinutes, no longer; then pour t through a sieve to the first skinmmings. tir it before using.
