I am filled with that dreamy sort of beatitude which, while it renders mc very unfit for any practical occupa tion, arirucs well for my connubial fa ture. Unfortunately for myself I am under fuch stronp hereditary obligations to a defunct grandfather as to be completely without a legitimate occupation of any sort. Of l ite it lias been my devotional cus tom to drop in upon Ilonoti.i during mornings, but on this, the ante nuptial day, 1 am interdicted from paying any matutinal respects whatever. Suddenly I recollect, with a certain feeling of odd relief, that I yesterday promised Ilonoria I would go and see Ir. 1$ about inv rheumatism. And so I stroll toward lr. 15 A broad six-footer ot a fellow is Dr. 1J , w ith a vast, w eird-looking shag of iron-gray hair, under which, pale, square and massive, gleams a clean-cut, power ful, meditative face. lie takes my hand in his own and holds it with firm but not close pressure. "l'jih!" he suddenly begins, " you are not sick. V hat do you come here and take up my precious time for? lie otl with you!" I laugh. " I only came, doctor, to sat isfy somebody else." And then I tell him, with half-successful eflort at oll hanueduess, who the somebody is. "You had best give mc a few drops, or some thing, junt so that I can show them to her to-night." The doctor dashes off a prescription, and. while handing it to me, his face looks right stern. "Alfred, I wish vou to live a different life." I laugh. "l'shaw! your marriage does not con cern the matter. Turn Mohammedan, if you please, as regards matrimony, but at the same time marry your mind and your time to something. You ought to have been a poor man." " What shall I do, doctor" I query, with a dim smile. " Write a book, or turn stock-broker?" "I want to see you again after the wedding and all that, you know. AVe must find some way to occupy you. Meanwhile, I have a good mind to make you take a long walk. J)o you ever walk?" lie draws out a sealed envelope and hands it to me, remarking: "There is a nice walk for you. Leave that letter at its address." I make atrvimace while I silentl v read : " 'John Fordyce, Esq., .No. , Fifty street.' A good distance, doctor. "Still, if you think the exercise will agree with me, I shall look upon the obliging favor to yourself as simply another prescrip tion. And to-morrow 1 will report how both have agreed with me." " To-morrow?" "Of course. At the wedding, yon know." "J it to-morrow? Of all thinsrs I should like to see your wedding, Alfred. I hid not forgotten the invitation oh, no! I must, however, with all my rush of business, have mistaken the day." " And this merely means, doctor, that j-ou are glad to have me remind you of your mistake?" " More than that, my boy. It means that I start for Philadelphia inabont one hour on business which I might have postponed, but now it is quite impossible to do so! And now, good-by, and Ood Mess you. Jon't forget that letter of mine, by the by." As I drew near the number indicated on 1'r. 15 's letter I find it to be a private-looking house of considerable jize, standing quite isolated among va cant lots, at almost the extreme eastern part of the town. My summons at the door-bell is an swered very promptly by a small, tidy looking boy. I hand him the letter without an accompanying word save "Fordyce" the name "written in its su perscription. lie immediately replied, "Yes, sir." I turn and descend the strp. I have reached to about its middle step, however, when I pause and take a view of my surroundings. "While I am leaning restfully against the railing of the stoop I hear the front door behind me reopened with considerable sudden ness. Of course, it is only natural for me to turn about on the instant. But the per son who now stands in the vestibule has Itad time to perceive my presence before he sees my face. He is a tall man, slen der, w ith a slight stoop, and short hair that stands straight up from his fore head. In one hand he holds the letter 1 have just left, in an opened state. " Beg pardon," he begins, " but are you acquainted personally with Dr. B ?" " I know him very well," I respond, something surprised. The broad smile broadens. "Will you have the kindness to step inside for a moment?" I show the gentleman by a slight ges ture and bow that I am wholly at "his service. ' We pass into the doctor's office, and I seat myself on invitation of my host. ' " I am going to be very frank with you," he commences. "T feci sure, Mr. Derbrow, that in the end frankness will be the better plan. So now prepare your self Tor a surprise.' " You should have said as much, sir, before calling me Mr. Derbrow. That is not my name." " No?" Then, while placing Dr. B 's letter in a side-pocket : " I have been mis informed, it seems. However, it w ill not be i point of any special consequence just now. As I was saving " " How, ir," I break in. flushing a trifle, " is it not a point of special consequence? To you not, perhaps, but tome the differ ence Ix'twccn being called Derbrow and called by my ow n name is certainly an im(Hrtant one." "'And pray," he questions, with much gentleness, "what in your name?" "Mr -name is Durand Alfred Du rand."' "Alfred Durand, eh? JYef Allan Der brow? You are sure, tuA Allen Der brow?" I speak quickly: " There is some mis t ike here. If you imagine my name to be mentioned in that letter, you are quite wrong- Evidently j'ou confuse me with some one else. - Dr. II asked me to take a letter up town for him, and I agreed to do so, although quite ignorant of its contents." "Very well," he softly returns; "no matter or that. As I said before. I w ill be frank with j-ou; deception will only postpone your annoyance. Mr. Der brow excuse me, Durand your friends, believing you to be rather out of health just now, have decided that a little rest ami quiet in this house, under my charge, w ill be of srreat benefit." I rise here, smiling. " I see now, sir, that there is without doubt some absurd mistake." "There is no mistake," he states, dryly. " Your persistence becomes imperti nence. My name is Alfred Durand, I re peat to you. I know nothing of any Mr. Allan Derbrow; I am not in ill health, and neither rest nor quiet has been pre scribed for me." "I hope you are not going to make use less trouble," is the singular response which I now meet with. " Useless trouble!" I exclaim. "You puzzle me to understand you, sir." Here 1 moved toward the door. " Do not try to leave the house," he instructs me, with great quietude of tone. "It will be quite impossible." " What on earth do you mean?" I cry, hurrying toward him, with clenched fists and furious eyes. An instant later, there is a strong looking man at each of my elbows. Strangely, the truth now for the first time Hashes through my head. And, hs it does so, the transition from anger to amusement is rapid and immense. I burst into almost a roar of laughter. "Good heavens!" 1 shout, much more mirthfully than indignantly, "it cannot be that you have taken me for a luna tic?" lie points toward the motionless men at cither side of me, and, in the same placid tones, he speaks again: "These persons will show you to your room, sir. You will find it quite large and comfortable. Pray, make no diffi culty about going." " 1 his would be an excellent joke," I at length state, "were it not in slight seeming danger of becoming rather seri ous. " "Will you not go quietly upstairs?" is the serenely imperiousinswer. Human patience has its limits. "Let me leave this house in peace," I cry, " and credit what I tell you, or you may pay very dearly for your obstinaey!" Still the same impregnable amiability: Are you determined not to go up stairs quietly?" hven now i feel a slight uimuence about narrating that I am carried up stairs, after this, as though I were a child, utterly powerless in the grin of those two brawny monsters. Ihe force that exerts itself upon me is tempered with an excellent skill that avoids all injury. 1 am without a bruise when placed in "my room." The mo ment that I am deposited in an easy chair by this pair of Goliahs, I spring up, exclaiming with (under the circum stances) considerable coolness of tone : " Look here, my good men, this is all a humbug the most ridiculous of mis takes, 1 assure you. Observe mc well. Do 1 seem like a crazy person?" " Yes," suddenly noises a voice which seems to issue from somewhere in the ad joining hall; " you are as mad as a hat ter, my dear sir. One of the men looks nmazedly at the other while these singular words are be ing spoken; then he quickly leaves the room, and very soon afterward there is heard, at some distance oil", the sound of a sharply-closed door. To the man who is now alone with me in the chamber I speak very quietly in deed. " I want you to have a note taken down town for me," are my opening words. " If you do so quietly, without saying a word to anybody else in the ho'use except one w hom you can trust, I w ill make it to your advantage." And here I nod most meaningly. The man's coarse face takes rather an amiable look. "All right," he returns; "you write what yer want, an' I'll see about it. There's a desk." "For God's sake," I burst forth, " treat me as though I were a sane being! You must admit, surely, that such a thing as a mistake could happen. Or, if you trill think me mad, do so, only swear that you ivill deliver a note if " Here my companion leaves the room, while the door swings shut behind him. I advance and examine it with trem bling fingers. There is nothing but a knob on my own side. This I try to turn; impossible, I am a prisoner. The room is large, and plainly, though neatly, furnished. In front of each of its two windows there rises a strong iron net-work, which makes it impossible even to touch the glass. I shudder as I see this horrid reminder of my position, and throw myself despairingly into an easy chair. Just here the thought makes me leap to my feet. He was to start for Phila delphia in an hour. I drag out my watch. It is now more than an hour and a half since I saw him. The two next hours are passed in a condition of mind whose feverish dis quiet may be readily understood. I pace the floor; I seat myself; I peer out through the prison like grille of the win dows. Finally my door is opened. It is one of the keepers, with plates, a table-cloth, etc. He does not seem to observe me, but I see that his eyes are all the w hile sharply vigilant of me at their corners. Presently the other keep er enters with a meal doubtless dinner. I sit quietly watching them, feeling that they are mere machines, whose mo tive power is wholly from without. Still, they can at least carry a message. " What is the name of the person w hom 1 saw dow n-stairs?" I quietly ques tion. " Dr. Fordyce," answers one of my keepers. " Will you tell him that I particularly wish to speak with him for a few mo ments?" " Yes, sir," is the civil reply. I wait and wait. No L)r. Fordyce conies. At length one of the keepers enters to remove my untasted meal. I make a great effort and so compel myself calmly to ask him whether he took my message or not. " Dr. Fordyce is out, sir." Then I rush wildly up to the man and utter wildly supplicating words. Pres ently I become momentarily insan enough to try and strike him. lie catch es my hands, holds them as I would hold a baby's, and calls "Jim!" several times, not very loudly. Jim soon appears. I sink into the nearest chair and burst into tears. They hastily clear away the meal and go out. I look at my watch again. It is five o'clock. "How much longer," I ask my self, "is this miserable duress to last?" As for Dr. B , I feel capable of killing him here and now. Whatever the blun der it has been inexcusable. When I think of to-morrow and the wedding I catch my breath in positive fright. Suppose but no! my captivity must have ended by that time. And yet the probabilities now seem immense that Dr. B has gone to Phil adelphia. Allowing that this is true, there may possibly be no one else in the city who know s ot my whereabouts, and no one else capable of finding them out. When my keeper enters the room a third time it is alout seven o'clock. I inquire whether Dr. Fordyce is home yet. " Y e expect him back very soon." There is a chance. I have already re flected that, provided he be really gone out, he has made inquiries concerning my case, and so learned of his atrocious mistake. But just then I hear a voice in the outer hall calling " Jim!" in distinct tones. "That is Dr. Fordycc's voice!"-1 cry. " I recognize it." A look of smiling admiration touches the keeper's face. " Oh, you're a sharp one, anyhow, sir. They was right about yer when they said so." "They? Who?" "Them that knows yer. Yer family, sir. There's some good tea. Drink "it down, now; it'll make yer feel better, pr'aps." After the fellow goes I sit for some time in a state of absolute hopefulness, buoyed up by a hope that Dr. irordyce will come, and feeling confident that if he does come I can use most effective pleading in my own behalf. I drink some tea and eat some of the food pro vided. The physical effect of this nour ishment is stimulating enough to make me regard my position for a little while from that humorous side which it un doubtedly possesses. I imagine the mirth of certain relations and friends w hen the case shall be laid bare to them. But a very state of annoyance enters w ith the thought of how wretchedly worried Ilonoria w ill be if I am absent and un accounted for the w hole evening From this time thenceforward my cap tivity becomes an acute agony. Once or twice, thinking of the utter dead wall of indifference against w hich I have thus far flung myself, I grow clamorously emotional, and stand beside the crack of my solid door shouting forth wild threats and hot imprecations. Now and then voices answer me, smothered and far off. , , Not long afterward there are sounds of steps and voices in the hall. I listen eagerly. , "No, no," advises a whisper, "don t go in. Don't run useless risks just now, doctor; he seems very bad." - Another voice: " I was wrong to have taken a danger ous patient. Dr. B admitted him to be sly, tricky, everything that was hard to get along with, and yet he thought I could manage him. Manage him! I was a fool to let the doctor flatter me. This is not a mad-house, as you very w ell know." The voices grow fainter; the speakers are receding! " What, after all," I tell myself, " if I have really been mad for weeks? What if Ilonoria's request that I should go to Dr. B 's were merely the first step in the ruse which brought me here? What if the wedding to-morrow were all a myth, a phantasm of my own madness? Do not the manias of monomaniacs al ways seem as real to them as realities to us?" 3Iorning finds me in; a condition of mind that closely approaches real mad ness. Twelve o'clock is my wedding hour: I feel a very enormity of yearning to reach Ilonoria in time, combined with a dark certainty that such an event shall not occur. I picture to myself again and again the agony which Ilonoria will sutler at my absence, knowing so well that only death or something like death can keep me from her at such a time. But, in spite of all my pain, physical exhaustion asserts itself. Men sleep with the scaffold threatening them in a few hours. I sleep, with the thought of a bridegroomless wedding (and that wed ding meant to have been my own!) haunting and taunting me. I go to sleep at dawn and awake at ten o'clock. The hour I am still able to as certain, having remembered to wind my watch on the preceding night. Ten o'clock; and (oh, ghastliness of the future tense!) I am to be married at twelve. Well, two hours yet remain. My sleep has made me calmer-minded, stronger of nerve. Marvels have hap pened in two hours. Presently I discover that breakfast has been left in the room for me while I was asleep. The coll'ee is still warm; I drink a cup. Another hour passes. At its end ray keeper enters the room. " To-day was to have been my wedding day," I calmly state, looking at the man with steady eyes. "At twelve o'clock to-day I was to have been married, sev eral hundreds of people witnessing the w edding. 1 swear to you that I speak truth. My name is not what your em ployer supposes, and I am no more crazy than you arc crazy. My name is Alfred Durand. Unfortunately for myself the initials on my under-clothing" are the same as Allen Derbrow's, the person whom your employer asserts me to be.' As soon as 1 have finished, a broad, in credulous smile edges his lips, while he turns away, with these words: " You tire a cute one and no mistake. Going to be married to-day! I'm Mowed if it don't just beat everything!" I sink back in my chair with a great sigh. What is the use of wasting words like this? I look at my watch. Seven minutes past eleven. Less than an hour before the time! There is no hope. I cover my face with my hands, and a great shudder shakes my frame. Just then steps sound in the outer ball, through the open doorway, heavy, firm and quick. They pause on the thresh old of my room. I uncover my face. The next instant, with a glad shout, I have recognized Dr. B and sprung to my feet. lie is paler than I have at any time seen him, as he seizes my hand. "Alfred, how can you ever forgive me? I don't expect it, my boy I don't ask it!" "Not a moment must be wasted now!" I affirm, speaking at fleetest speed. " Have you a vehicle outside?" " Yes, my own." I catch his arm. " Take mc out of here, then, as quickly as you can. Bemember where I am due at twelve." "My poor Alfred!" These words he utters as we hurry down stairs, arm in arm. I see nothing of Dr. Fordyce as we leave the house. I afterward learn that overwhelming shame keeps him away. Presently we are in Dr. B 's car riage, being driven with all speed dow n tow n. This is what the doctor finds time to tell me during the journey, short as his good horses make it: "The letter I should have given you was a very harmless one, to be left in an up-town street. How I confused it with the other is only explainable, I suppose, by the rankest negligence You saw me take it from my pocket and hand it you; but ttie mistake had been commit ted before then. Ihe letter which you brought Dr. Fordyce told him that you were a certain Allan Derbrow, whom he had good reason to know, because of fre quent conversations on the subject w ith me, as a trick', dangerous, unmanage able sort of monomaniac. "Last week it was agreed between us that, if possible, I would cause Derbrow (over whom I have considerable in fluence) to appear at the asylum w ith a note to Dr. Fordyce. Not only were you mistaken for Derbrow, my dear Alfred, but this man, a most admirable discipli narian and ruler among harmless pa tients, was terrified and discouraged by you at the outset. Jle attempted no treatment, was nervous about appearing in your presence, and, before you had been in the house two hours, paid a visit to mine, only to find that I had gone to Philadelphia. An hour or so later he concluded to tele graph me that Derbrow had arrived, but that he wished to be rid of him as soon as possible. This telegram, my dear boy, has been your salvation. Of course, the instant I read it I was amazed at a seeming impossibility; and then, when I remembered the two letters which 1 had that morning prepared, the truth flashed across me. The first available train brought me north again. Luckily I am in time." "I hope so, doctor," is my excited murmur. " Nonsense, Alfred ! You have yet more than half an hour to dress in." Just then the carriage stops before my door. " Dash on your wedding clothes, which are doubtless already waiting for you, give that yellow hair and beard of vours a brush or two and you are ready. Meanwhile, having learned from you the address of the bride, I will drive there instantly and do all the cheering up, en couraging and 'good-news bringing that may be requisite. Depend upon it, all shall yet (to use a most pertinent quota tion) 4 go merry as a marriage-bell.' " The doctor proves no false prophet. Our bridal party is just fifteen minutes late as it enters the church; but when w ere any earthly nuptials exactly punct ual ? Ajwleton' Journal. A srxctXAR and affecting trait is re corded of the bison when young. When ever a cow bison falls by the hand of the hunter, and happens to have a calf, the helpless creature, instead of attempting to escape, stavs by its fallen dam, with many expressions of strong affection. The mother being secured, the hunter makes no attempt on the calf, because this is unnecessary, but proceeds to cut up the carcass; and then, laying it on his horse, lie returns Jiome, followed by the young one, which thus instinctively follows the remains of its parent. A hunter once rode into the town of Cin cinnati, between the Miamis, followed in this manner by three calves, all of which had just lost their dams. When you see a lot of fresh, healthy looking sausages selling at a very low price let them alone. Aniline red" does the business. USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. Stove Polish and SoArsurjs. If stove polish is mixed with very strong soap suds, the luster appears immediately and the dust of the polish does not fly around as it usually docs. Looseness of the bowels, or cholera morbus, may be cured in this way: Mix two tablespoonfuls of wheat flour with just water enough to moisten the flour; drink it. If the first dose does not check pain, or the purging, repeat the dose in half an hour. Severe cases sometimes require a third dose. JV. Y. Weekly. To Exterminate Vermin. A most ef fectual insect powder is feverfew. This, pulverized and pure, added to an equal weight of powdered borax and scattered in the haunts of bedbugs, roaches, or any other vermin, will scare them away sure; it can be rubbed on a dog to kill fleas and w ill do its work effectually. Western Rural. Short-sightedness is a malformation of a somewhat serious nature, as short sighted eyes are diseased eyes, and they require special treatment. Never allow a child or friend thus afflicted to fall into the hands of "traveling quacks," or those who make loud claims to optical knowl edge. In all large cities there are repu table medical gentlemen who make a specialty of the treatment of eye all'ec tions, and they are the proper persons to consult. It cannot be too universally known that short sight tends to increase; and that if it increases at all rapidly it tends also to destructive changes, -and therefore it is an aflcction which requires prompt attention. Perfection of sight is essential to our welfare and happiness, and anyone who neglects tnose precau tions upon the observance of which its preservation depends w ill find cause for deep repentance in later life. Young men and young women who sutler them selves to fall into the habit of reading by fire-light, or at a window by the waning light of evening, or at a considerable dis tance from lamps and gas-burners, are guilty of acts for which they must sufiei. Parents should promptly interfere to pre vent the formation of such dangerous habits. Boston Jvurtuil of Chemistry. ArrLE-nuTTEn differs from the apple sauce of New England only in the manu facture. Apple-sauce is made, or used to be made, by boiling down cider, that of sweet apples usualiy preferred, and of adding pared and quartered apples when the w hole was boiled just enough to make the apples soft, but not enough to break down the structure. In making apple-butter the boiling is continued much longer and the whole mass is thoroughly mixed together by constant stirring until it becomes like mush, and the more thoroughly this process is per formed the better is the quality, par ticularly in regard to keeping. Both preparations arc kept in jars and often in barrels made for the purpose. The chief defect of apple-sauce was that when warm weather came in the spring it was apt to ferment and become sour, w hen it was necessary to reboil it. Apple-butter seldom fermented, and if kept in a cool place it would remain good for years. The commercial apple-butter factories provide first a cider-mill of im proved structure and copper boilers, with tanks for storage and additional treat ment, all of sufficient capacity to work up 1,000 barrels of apples a day. The product is packed in barrels, when it is ready for shipment to any part of the world, and if properly made it will keep as well as flour, pork, or molasses, and it is as much of a cash article as either. Our Fireside Friend. Gathering and Storing Vegetables. There is far less attention paid to the gathering and storing of vegetables than to their production, although these are quite as important. The great bulk of our root crops are designed for use in w inter, and the more perfect their pres ervation the more healthful will they prove to man or beast. In the Northern States vegetables must be protected from frosts, and in warm climates from too much heat and moisture; consequently considerable care is required in both cases, the advantages and disadvantages in the various climates and localities be ing about equal. There are probably no greater losses in the coldest localities from frost thin in the warmer, because where there is little danger from cold less care is given in protection, and a temperature a few degrees lower than usual frequently proves disastrous. The first and most valuable root crop gathered for winter is the potato, and in mild climates considerable care is re quired to preserve this tuber in good con dition until cool weather. If allowed to remain in the earth long after ripening there is danger of what is termed a sec ond growth, especially if the weather should be moist and warm; therefore the safest plan is to dig as soon as it is fully ripe. But the digging should be done in dry weather, and the tubers allowed to remain spread upon the ground lor two or three hours before picking them up. When this is done, assorting of the large from the small may be done in half the time required after they are put away in the cellar. We have seen many a farmer dig his entire crop of potatoes and dump all into a heap in the cellar, or bury them in the open field, without making any se lection. Of course this necessitates a complete overhauling if the potatoes are to be sent to market, or if they are to be used at home, all of which is a need less waste of time. While scattered over the ground in the field the assorting may be done much better, and almost as rapidly as if all were put into the same basket. Then again, many make a great mistake in storing in large, deep bins, or burying in large heaps in the ground. To preserve the good qualities of pota toes they must be kept dry and cool, no matter how or where stored. If put in cellars, free ventilation without admit ting light must be given, and as late in the fall as it w ill do without danger of freezing. In burj'ing in the ground a vent-hole should be left at the top of the heap until severe weather approaches. Turnips and beets are still more diffi cult to keep in good condition through winter than potatoes; but with these a low temperature is of more importance than dryness, although the latter is de sirable to a certain degree. These roots are, however, usually gathered so late in the season that there is less danger of injury from heat, unless a large quantity are put together; if this is done the cen ter of the heap is pretty certain to be in jured by heating, even when those on the outside are freezing. Turnips in partic ular are constantly giving off heat and moisture, and it is never safe to store them in large heaps or bins. Usually there is less danger of injury from frost than from heat, which will cither cause them to decay or become soft and spongy. Carrots are not difficult but should be kept as ccol without actually freezing, be gathered and topped crowns have been frozen, and then dried sufficiently to cause all the dirt to fall off before storing. Parsnips are usually left in the ground through winter and dug in spring, as freezing does not appear to injure them; but if wanted for use during the w inter the roots may be dug up in the fall and packed away in moss, leaves or any sim ilar material, and then placed in a cool cellarer out-house where they will not get too dry. A portion of the crop may be dug in the fall and the remainder left in the ground. Parsnips that are left out to be frozen during w inter are usu ally considered better than those dug in the fall. The frost appears to sweeten as well as to make them more tender. Celery is usually stored in trenches, the roots being carefully lifted with w hat little soil adheres to them, and then reset in a trench a foot in w idth and depth enough to permit of readily covering. The bunches should le set nearly upright and closely together, and as cold w eather approaches covered over with straw, leaves or some similar coarse litter that will keep out the frost. The leaf-stalks which are green when put into the trench will usually become well blanched by the time the celery is taken out for use in the winter. This method of storing is the one usually practiced by the market gardeners in this vicinity. to preserve as possible They should before the As the cabbage Is another vegetable which is not injured by freezing if al lowed to thaw out slowly and in the dark, our market gardeners merely pull them up and set the heads in trenches made w ith a plow, then turn a furrow over them from each side, leaving the roots exposed. The heads are but slightly cov ered with earth, and consequently are frozen solid in cold weather. They are taken out during mild weather in w inter, or on the approach of spring, and are usually in good condition for market. Further north a different plan would have to be adopted, especially if the cab bages are wanted for use during winter; but an ordinary cellar, warm enough to keep potatoes, is entirely unfit for cab baires. it beincr altogether too warm. A cheap pit matte for the purpose would be preferable, because it could be kept cool without injuring other kinds. Every farmer should, however, have a root cel lar near, if not under, his barn, where turnips, carrots, beets and cabbages can be stored without endangering the health of his family by having them in the dwelling-house cellar, as is far too Ire quently the practice. Where a great va riety of vegetables are kept together some must sutler, either from being too warm or too cold, and the only safe plan is to have two or more places for storage First in importance is the raising of a goodly supply ot vegetables for the farm stock, and the next is to keep them urrtil the time they are most needed, which is usually in the latter part of winter and early spring. The season has already arrived for be ginning the gathering of vegetables for winter use, and no time should now be lost in making the necessary prepara tions for preservation. New York Hun. Cooklm Eggs. Eggs bear a relation to other animal food similar to that which seeds bear to other vegetable food. They are the de positories of vitality, stored up to form a new link in the continuation of the spe cies. They are probably the purest form ot animal lood, though they compare un favorably with seeds in several respects. They lose their vitality sooner, and thev partake more or less of w hatever impuri ties may have belonged to the animal that produced them. Thev arc not so nutritious as some of the seeds, and they require more care in cooking. Like seeds, one of their principal In gredients is albumen, which is nearly pure in the white; but, unlike vegetable albumen.it coagulates with heat ; if the heat is great, becomes so hard as to be extremely difficult of digestion. Hence eggs are more easily digested raw than cooked, and hence also the objection to hard boiling. Dr. Beaumont found bits of hard-boiled egg-white, no larger than a pea, sometimes remained in the stom ach after everything else had yielded to the action of the gastric juice. Such logic is unanswerable. He deduced from it the importance of careful masti cation. We women can go a step fur ther and find in it an intelligent reason for so cooking the eggs that they w ill not require this extra care. Fried eggs are still worse than those which are boiled, both because subjected to a greater de gree of heat, and because of cooking fat into them. Even in the common method of boiling them rapidly " three and a half min utes" the albumen next the shell is quite too hard. It should be uniform and custard-like, and this is secured by the method, now becoming quite common, of merely letting the eggs stand from seven to ten minutes in hot water. This should be boiling hot at first, but the cool eggs reduce its temperature somewhat. The exact time required will vary with the relative proportions of eggs, and water with the size of the eggs, with the heat and thickness of the utensil used, with the warmth of the place where it stands, and with the weather also, a lit, tie more time being required in dull weather. The cook will soon iearn what allowance to make for her utensils; and for the rest she must use her judgment every time. They are not so easily spoiled, however, as in boiling. If left in a little too long they can be plunged into cold water for a minute or two. If even kept hot until the yolks tiiren, the yolks will not be hard. The yolk should lie cooked just enough not to break rap idly when turned out. These are, prop erly speaking, not " boiled eggs," but " curdled eggs." These curdled eggs make an admirable dressing for many breakfast dishes boiled samp, oatmeal mush, cracked wheat, and especially for small hominy. The gentle method of cooking eggs may also be observed in making egg-toast. Have the milk almost boiling, in a flat dish, and break in the eggs one by one, cooking a few at a time, and being care ful not to let them run together. Sprinkle in a little salt, and let them stand hot and covered until firm enough to take up without breaking. Then have ready some split batter biscuit (gems), softened in hot milk and laid on a platter, and w hen the eggs are done dish them one on each half of a biscuit and serve warm. This is a handsome dish, and though not quite so digestible as hominy dressed with eggs curdled in the shell, it is still far better than the fried potatoes and griddle-cakes that form the staple of so many break fasts. Science of Health. A disabled soldier reccntl' passed through the villages on the Stonington Itoad, lihode Island, in search of his moth er, from whom he ran away while living in Providence thirty-three years ago. He had been punished severely by his moth er, and, being sent to the store with a gold piece to buy a pound of tea, he left with the money and soon joined the regular army. Since then he has been through almost every experience of a rough soldier's life, and has several wounds, but he now seeks his mother to ask her forgiveness and give her the pound of tea and the change for the $3 gold piece. An Easton (Pa.) hen hatched a chick after eight days' sitting. This is claimed to be the fastest time on record. Fever anil Ague, Chill Ftrtr, Kte.
