A Pious Russian at Diner. The lussians are gieat believers in the evil eye, and foreigners, on Russian children being introduced to them, should beware of praising their beauty or of showing for them any of that ad miration which, under like ciroumetani ces, would be expected in Western Eu rope. To praise the child is to bewitch it, to bring it il-luck-to affect it, in short, with the "evil eye." Charms and inoantations must then be resorted to, and in serious easei the priest is called in. By humility and player the iuflu ence of the evil eye may'be averted; but it is desirable that the stranger, on see ing for the first time the children of any family he may be visiting, shall not allow himself to. exclaim: "What a pretty girl!" or 6What a line boyl". There is another very different meth od by which the health of Russian clil dre4 may be affected, and in this case beneficially. into this secret I was itrst initiated, inot in Russia, but in France, at the excellent restaurant of the Troix Freros .trovenceaux, now no more, A Moscow merchant, who was dining there with me and some other friends, told me, toward the close of dinner, in ac cents of great solemnity, that he had something weighing heavily on his mind. "Goutich ivanovitchl" he ox claimed, "the thought has occurred to me, and will not be dispelled, that my poor wife at Moscow is not well. Lot us drink a bottle of some particularly ood wine for the sake of Nadojda Feco aa'ts health." The proper kinds wine for oach course had already boon disposed of. But the soinmeilier was conouited, and he declared that the cel Jar contained a remarkably flue white H: rmitugo, which could be fitly drank at dessert. if good wine drunk at Paris could have benefitted Nadejda Feodorovua, ailing at Moscow, she muot have foit, much better when the bottle of white Hermit'tgo had been emptied. "Titt wine was j ust the thing," said the iner chant atter a brief pause; "but I cau not fol tranqil, for now sometling tolls inc that my oldest boy is sullering. Let us oiler up another bottle of that excel.ent whict Hermitage for the sake of my oind's hea to." The pious suori ice was gono throigh, to the admiration of Lao ol sonmmilier, who brought in the wino himself and wa,s rowarted each time with a libsral gratuity. Then by a suddea iiituitina, which cams to hint just atter the second bottle tad beon unishled, the miercLtaut be caime c")uso - ous of soine disaster by which another of his children wias threatened. and, as he htd rtther a largo family, it seem Ad p: oablo I hat a gR oW many more bottles would have to bo ordered before the evil spirits which menaceod the safety of his Moscow home could be thoroughly propitiated, it was then arranged that fne liaal bottle of Chaimbertiii should b.unk in tht interest of the entire 11ta . l,it-u, ats a iiow, whlatevor the etfeet (11 1i1t h ,I,jtuiu iiuty have been on his Wt- intlt I ir..Cih, time merchatut himucli auk luetl In i uei i " , l,l' ,t llautt I i tu i taittl .

The cream is then all taken off, and in order to imitate a full cream choose a material called -anti-huff' is added, which cute the curd and gives the cheese the appearance of a full cream cheese. 'Anti-huff' is composed largely of potash, and if applied to the tongue woulo take the cain off quite as quick as a coal of fire. You can draw your own conclusion of its effoots upon the coats of the stomach. "Au article was published In your pa per recently, saying that some twenty persons were made sick from eating ohoose, and it waa attributed from their eating too much. I shouki rather in cline to the opinion that it was the qual ity rather than the quantity. I have made cheese forty years, and never yet heard of a sptiuz, summer or fall cheese making any one siok. The fact is, it is made of pure milk, and will give not only pleasure to the palate, but strength to the body. "Now, in order that the publio be not imposed on, I suggest that all dairymen who are making a pure article have their cheese branded and advertise where they are kept for sa,le, A DoLLAR PrIOFrr ON EACH HEN. Somebody wants to know if one dollar per year proflt from each hen is a d>od average, Where hens are kopt as the majority of farmers keep them, one dol lar per head is quite as much as the ow'tur ought to expect, and I don't be lieve that the average farmers can make one hundred dollars easier than by keep ing and earing for a flock of one hun dr lttiens. If he will do a little extra work in the way of housihg, care and lettl, the hens will t d_i at least fifty ctF. to too average dollar. Why. we have pullets that, at December 11th, have laid three dozen eggs apice since they commenced laying the first week in Oc tober, but they didn't roost in trees and live on sawdust and gravol; they had a good, wartm lous", and plenty of food and care. If thesa pullots don't earn coniderablo more than their ''average dollar" per head, before next spring. I'll tut their heads of', every last one of 1hem. And I may as well tell you that when I fail to mako at least thiee dol lars proft, for olach lion, duck and tur key kept for breeding stock, I don't brag much about my success in poultry raising.

During the delay, however, the engin eers of the tunnel have taken care to maintain a sufficient air pressure in the xc,avation to prevent earth from enter ing the headings, and a slight Jeakage of air which took place under one of the steamship docks was promptly discov ered and stopped, so that everything is in readinets for the prompt resumption of active operations, which may, it is hoped, occur in a few days. The first work to be undertaken in that case will * be the commencement of the second - tunnel on the New York side, which will, like the first, be cai rind out to the - silt, then all the four headings, two on the New York side and two on the New Jeraey side; will be carried forward sim ultaneously, until they moet in the mid dle of the river. 1 Advice to Consumptives.

Y. p .Dynamite is one of the many pro ducts or combinations of mitro-glycer ine, and is about thirteen times as pow erful as gun powder. It consists of a a combination of nitro-glycerino with a substance of great absorbent power, such, for instance, as fuller's earth or rotten stone. By this composition the explosiveness of the nitro-glycorine is controlled, as it were,and tlhecompound is capable of withstanding all the ordi } nary dangers of transportation, while at the same time its explosive power is not lessened. The process of manufacture is very simple. You take a certain pro portion of nitric and su'phurio acid and mix thorn with certain other prop)rtio,is of glyee rine, which is the essence of fat to mako the nitro-glycerino. To make dynamite you need only mix nitro-gly cerine with some absorbent material fuller's earth is the best--to have dyna mite.
