A SEHIOUS KLLWDEII.
r.V F.IXJAK FAWCF.TT.
IJf.ino within a single day of my own
w oil din. 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.

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

this manner by three calves, all of which
had just lost their dams.

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

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.

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.

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.

feared those w ho had never tested its virtues
