    The Omaha Dance.
Yesterday tha commissioners had an
opportunity of witnessing an Indian
dance. The Omaha dance is a social fes
tiT.il, and none but good Indians and
rrTes are authorized to take part in it.
The occasion afforded an excellent illus
tration of the curious customs and bar
baric splendor of the race. Face, chief of
one of the bands of the Sioux, was master
of the dance. The commissioners occu
pied seats under a canvas shade erected
within the agency inclosure. At the ap
pointed hour the shouts of the squaws
and soldiers announced the approach of
the procession. The gates of the court
yard were thrown open, and in the In
dians rushed, some on foot and some on
horseback, the air resounding with their
shouts. The squaws took up positions on
three sides of the inclosure, while the
braves, who constituted the musicians and
the dancers, dashed into the center. The
drum was placed upon the ground, the
musicians gathered round it and began to
lcat it with their sticks, while the dancers,
dressed in all sorts of fantastic costumes,
formed an outside circle in which they
stamped and yelled. Red Cloud advanced
and took a seat beside the commissioners
under the shade. Sitting Bull, riding on
a horse, was arrayed in all his native
grandeur. His body, bare to the waist,
mhs painted thick with yellow ocher. lie
wore green pantaloons covered with brass
liells, and on his feet blue-beaded mocca
sins. His war-bonnet, extending from his
head down his back almost to the ground,
M-as a mass of eagle-feathers crowned with
deer-horns, interspersed with other
ornaments. His face was painted
with vermilion, and in his hand
he carried a small edition of the stars
and stripes. His horse was covered with
yellow marks, which served to thow the
number of ponies he had stolen and the
number of men he had killed in battle,
while a string of sleigh-bells jingled with
the prancing of his horse around the cir
cle. Sitting Bull is an excellent Indian
and a favorite with the President The
Man Who Strikes First, who is a brother
to Sword, rode a horse whose back and
flanks were daubed with red. He wore
blue pantaloons and a dirty white shirt on
the outside. His face was painted red and
yellow, he wore a splendid bonnet of eagla
leathers and carried a lance in his han'i
Tall Wild Cat was mounted and drtsed
in similar style and carried hi g-n 0n

IV1 Clinch of eagle feathers on his head,

four bands painted in black, one on each
arm and two on his breast. His face was
also painted yellow with a black spot on
either cheek. He wore a parti-colored
searf around his waist, scarlet pantaloons
striped with blue, and carried a broad
sword in his hand. Long Dog was dis
tinguished by his string of sleigh-bells;
bis hair was painted green, and as he
danced around he flourished a revolver in
the air. Charging Wolf, in blue pantaloons
and cotton shirt, wore round his head a
fancy sash with eagle feathers and carried
his tomahawk in his hand. Fire Crow
had a similar headgear, brown cotton
thirt. scarlet pantaloons and broad bands
of fur around his arms. Wolf Hoad's
body was painted yellow, like that of Guts,
and was loaded down with bells. Young
Crow had some idea of harmony of
colors when he appeared in green shirt
and purple pantaloons ; he had eagle feath
ers round his body, a long fox tail was
suspended from his cap, his face was
painted yellow, and his general appear
ance suggested a fantastic " Heathen Chi
nee" rather than a Sioux. Partisan Bear
was nearly naked; one-half his breast was
painted red, the other half and his legs
were painted brown, and he wore behind
a massive bunch of feathers formed like a
panier. The other soldiers who partici
pated in the dance were attired in every
imaginable variety of costumes, with paint
and bells and feathers and car-rings and
ornaments of shells in great prolusion.
During a pause in the progress of the
dance Silting Bull entered the circle
first on horse and then on foot and re
counted his deeds of valor. When the
dance was ended some presents were dis
tributed, and the father of American
Horse, who is the herald of the tribe,
harangued the chiefs, telling them to get
ready for the council. lied Cloud Agency

The First Schoolmaster In fliew York.
Adam Itoelandsen enjoyed the distinc
tion of being the first schoolmaster in the
metropolis. From some cause, possibly
because "people did not speak well of
him," he could not make a living at his
vocation and so took in washing. But he
did not succeed in his laundry enterprise
cither.- There is a curious lawsuit on
record which shows how lie demand
ed payment of Gillis De Voocht for
washing his linen. The defendant made
no objection to the price charged, but re
fused to pay until the end of the year.
The Court decided that Itoelandsen should
continue to wash lor De Voocht the re
. maindcrof the year and then collect his
moue'. Meanwhile the schoolmaster built
himself a house thirty feet long, eighteen
feet wide and eight high, which was
roofed with reeden thatch, had an entry
three feet wide, two doors, a pantry, a
staircase, a mantelpiece and a bedstead.
This latter was built into the wall, like a
cupboard in a partition, with doors clos
ing upon it when unoccupied. It was &
great economy in the matter of room. A
sleeping apartment in one of the small
Dutch taverns of that date often accom
modated several travelers at night, while
during the day it was only an ordinary
public room, quite unincumbered in ap
Iearance. But Schoolmaster Itoelandsen
was unable to compensate the builder;
and he finally committed a grave offense,
for which he was chastised at the whipping-post
upon the water's edge and ban
ished from the Dutch dominions. Chris

Salmon in Fresh Water.
The question as to the ability of the
salmon to remain permanently in fresh
water rece ived an important illustration last
winter. It is well known that the lakes
tf Maine along the coast contain a variety
of fish known as the land-locked salmon,
which, while possessing the external ap
pearance and peculiar habits ot the
salmon, together with equal excellence of
flesh, is much smaller, and remains per
manently in the lakes; and it is still a
vexed question whether this is actually a
descendentof the true sea salmon oradiffer
ent species. An argument in favor of its
being the former is afforded by the fact
that in two localities young salmon,
hatched from eggs of the true sea salmon
collected at Buckport, have lived in fresh
water ponds and yielded ripe eggs during
the past autumn; in the one case at New
Hope, Pa., the fish attaining several
pounds in weight, while some bred in
Wisconsin were only five to seven inches
in length, though perfectly mature in
every respect In the first case, however;
the ponds were quite large and offered
ample space for the movements of the fish,
while in the other they were confined to
small trout ponds of only a few yards in
extent. Whether the eggs thus obtained
will produce healthy young and whether
these will attain maturity are questions of
much interest. N. Y. Graphic.

Forgive and Forget.
Even a good sentiment may be abused.
Forgiveness is a noble attribute of charac
ter, but it does not imply forgetfulness. A
man may forgive a wrong, but he cannot
well forget it. It is retained on his mem
ory whether he wills it or not. He may
writA" forgiven" over it, and show by his
conduct that all trace of resentment has
been removed, but the memory of the
wrong remains, as if the record had been
cut by a chisel on the enduring granite.
Therefore to talk cf forgiveness and for
getfulness as if they were synonymous
terms is to confound two distinct traits
forgiveness, which implies nobility of
manhood, and forgetfulness, which im
plies mental Imbecility.
Democratic orators are ringing the
changes on this expression. They ask
Republicans to forgive and forget," yet
they are very careful not to practice what
they preach. They neither forgive nor
forget They go over the past, and pick
out each fault that a series of years may
have developed. They hold it up for in
spection ; they gloat over it as a rare piece
of good luck to them ; they overlook the
many virtues and the mighty achieve
ments of the Republican party, and con
demn the granite pillar of justice that has
sustained the nation through its fiery
troubles, because close inspection has re
vealed, here and there, a few slight Haws
on its polished surface. They hold up
public men who have served their coun
try with distinguished fidelity to scorn
and contempt. They rake over the ashes
of a dead past and exhume anything and
everything that can serve their partisan
purpose. They arraign loyal men for
their patriotic acts tenfold more bitterly
than loyal men ever arraigned them ; and
then, alter dealing all the deadly blows
they can, and pouring out the vials of
wrath and vindictive hate upon the party
that has done more for humanity, civili
zation and national progress than any
other party known to history, they turn,
with a blaud sm.ile, and ask the followers
of this party to " forgive and forget."
Forgive and forget what? Republicans
are reaiy to forgive the wrong-doers of the
Sast, hat they cannot forget their deeds,
i either can they forget those who stood
bravely at the post of duty in the hour of
trial. The effort to destroy the nation will
be remembered as long as the heroic serv
ices of our citizen soldiery. Who can
predict the time when these patriotic serv
ices will be forgotten? Out of the remem
brance of the past we profit for the future.
From the pages of history we gather wis
dom that should make us better and
stronger in the administration of govern
ment than those who have gone before us.
The American people may forgive De
mocracy for the trouble which it"brought
upon the nation, but they cannot forget
those troubles, nor blot out the memory of
their cost in blood and treasure, nor per
mit it again to return to power, to plague
anew a people that have been redeemed
from its tliralldom.
Republicanism extends forgiveness
wherever asked, and tenders it where it is
not. But its mission is not to forget what
has lcen done, but rather to remember it,
whether it comes from evil or good, that
the Republic may avoid in the future, by
a clear knowledge of the past, those dan
gers which threaten its stability. Itepub

Democracy is struggling hard for place
and power. It wants place, to reward its
friends; it wants power, to punish its ene
mies. A Democratic triumph in the Presi
dential election means the restoration of
Southern intlucnce in the administration
of the Government? To what is that in
fluence pledged ? Clearly to the payment
of Southern losses during the war. Cotton
claims, amounting to at least $ 50,000,000.
Claims for property used or destroyed by
our troops, amounting to at least $200,
000,000. The refunding of the cotton-tax,
$ GS.000,000. The shouldering of the rebel
debt, amounting to f 2,300,000,000, by
some legislative or judicial construction
of the constitutional amendment which
prevents its payment The payment of at
least $1,000,000,000 for slaves set free, as
the great reconciliation sop between the
North and South. These are anion? the
possibilities to follow close upon the heels
of Democratic restoration to power. The
democrats ot tlie South openly advocate
these measures as just and equitable.
They hold them out to their constituents
as among the first fruits to follow their
ascendency to power. The executive and
legislative branches of the Government
once in the hands of Democracy, the ju
dicial branch would soon be formed so as
to reflect and legalize their acts. The loyal
people would again be placed under South
ern domination, and under the color of law
would be forced to bear the new financial
burdens which would be placed upon
them. Instead of our debt being reduced,
it would be doubled in a few years. Our
paper money would fall in value. Our
national credit would be ruined, and
nothing but a decree of Providence would
save the county from general bankruptcy
and repudiation. Let cur citizens con
sider the price they must pay for their
apathy, if through it Democracy is
brought back to power. Let them arouse
themselves to the dangers which threaten.
Let them combine together in thorough
organization to sustain the party that
guards the rights of citizens and the credit
of the Republic. " Shoulder to shoulder!"
must be the watchword of the hour.
The Outrages in Mississippi.
In other words, the statement summed
up is as follows: A gang of Democratic
rullians interfered with a Republican
meeting and got hurt as bad as the negroes
did in the fight that followed. Thereupon
a mob of desperadoes assembled, armed,
and commenced shooting unarmed negroes
in the woods, in their cabins and in fields
where they were at work. Having mur
dered nil who could not get out of the
way, the Democratic newspapers repre
sented all was quiet, and the Chairman of
the Democratic State Committee tele
graphed to the President there was no dis
turbance. The deed, as the letter states,
was only cold-blooded murder. The
" quiet" so reported was only quiet be
cause the rufiians and desperadoes had
hunted down and killed those who were
obnoxious to them, and no more were left
to be murdered. This infamous work wus
the result of the teaching of the Vicks
burg Herald. The further result of it
should be the hanging of those concerned
in it If Mississippi were governed by a
man of courage, the hangings would
speedily commence. Chicago Tribune.
tW The empty sleeve, the wooden leg,
the scarred face, the sympathy of the sol
dier's widow, the love of the soldier's
orphan, the boj's in blue, all, as one peo
ple, link their fortunes to the Republican
party. They felt the vital necessity of its
supremacy eleven years ago ; they are con
scious of that necessity now. The mis
guided and misled current of sentimental
gush which has found a lodgiug plac e in
the hearts of some cannot move the men
who spent years on the field of strife to
preserve the Union, or dragged out many
months of existence within the infamous
limits of the dead line at Andersonville
and Belle Isle. They believe in concilia
tion, but not in embracing the forms of
rank treason before they are dead enough
to lose their fatal sting. Washington He

eting a casual dollar by discounting boun
ties to recruits passing through his hands

of the scandal, but an ugly circumstance
in the shape of an affidavit by Farmer

business seems to furnish further grounds
for uneasiness. It is what the Democrats

Her Teeth In Her Throat.
TffB Pittsburgh Gatetta relates the fol
lowing: About 11:30 o'clock on Satur
day night Mrs. Hoehn, wife of William
Iloehn, a plasterer, residing on Second
utreet. Third Ward, Allegheny, between
Madison avenue and East street, was play
ing with her little child, AVhile soetU
gaged she suddenly threw her head back,
When a small silver plate containing fom
Upper teeth in her mouth suddenly be
came detached and lodged in her throat
The silver plate mentioned was about one
and one-fourth inches long and about one
inch wide, with ragged, sharp edges, at
the end of which were fastened four teeth.
In the hurry and excitement ensuing a
member of the family tried to force the
obetacje down the suffering woman's
throat so as to bring it into the stomach.
The plate holding the teeth, however, was
too wide, and, moreover, the sharp edges
caught in the sides of the esophagus a
short distance from the btomach, from
which lodgment it could not be moved.
The poor woman suffered intense pain, as
the obstacle cut the esophagus so badly
that she commenced spitting blood, and it
also pressed so tightly against the wind-
ipe as almost to prevent her from breath
ng. Dr. Herman Hechelmann was imme
diately called, and took along some of
his delicate instruments which are rarely
used but in the most important cases.
When he reached the house of his patient
she was almost dead. The doctor went to
work immediately, and by the aid of
these new and important instruments
could see into the patient's throat so as to
see the point of the silver plate lodged in
the esophagus. As soon as he discovered
the location he inserted a delicate pair of
pincers, and catching hold of the plate, he
drew forth nothing, the instruments hav
ing slipped. The poor woman became
unconscious, and, to all appearances,
dead. Dr. Hechelmann, however, resus
citated her and made another- trial, and
after great difficulty succeeded in bring
ing forth the cause of all the disaster.
Yesterday morning the patient was still
spitting blood, but all danger has passed
and in a few days she will be a well as
ever again.
Military Service Among Ants.
A gentleman of this city, one morning
recentlv. while walking in his garden, ob
served two columns of ants crossing the
path in opposite directions. Upon noticing
the curious movements closely, he saw
that those going in one direction carried
the bodies of ants which he supposed to
be dead, while those going the other way
seemed to have deposited their burdens
and were returning to get new loads. It
was his first imcression that the ants were
engaged in stocking a new cemetery with
their illustrious dead. In order to note
what effect a disturbance of their line
would create, he dropped a little sand
upon the column. Instantly the apparent
ly inanimate ants sprang to the ground
and became vigorously alive, while their
carriers retreated in a pusillanimous
fashion. As more grains were dropped,
the ants became very pugnacious, rearing
up and attacking each grain fu
riously. From this singular conduct,
the gentleman concluded that the
ants were the fighting members of
the tribe, a sort of mounted infantry that
was being transported across the country
to guard some new frontier settlement, and
that as soon as the grains began to fall
upon the columns, the ants, thinking ene
mies had opened fire from their catapults,
allowed the warriors to dismount and
pitch into action, while the carriers beat
a retreat outofdauger. In view of the
circumstances such a conclusion seems
warranted. At any rate antkind has been
regarded since Solomon's time as exceed
ingly clever in all matters of social and
domestic economy, and there is no telling
to what degree of intelligence it has at
tained in the progressive age. Who
knows but what we daily tread under our
feet ant republic and insect empires, among
which civil wars are progressing that ne
cessitate the maintenance of standing
armies at the public expense. Exclvxnqe.
A. Child Rescued From a Panther.
Last Monday morning a man and wife,
who live about nine miles east of Willis,
left home on business, leaving their house
in charge of their eldest child, about
twelve years of age. Toward noon the
girl heard the infant, aged fourteen months,
which had lieen laid while ashiep on a bed
in an adjoining room, ultef a horrid
screech, upon which she immediately ran
to its relief, and imagine her feelings, up
on opening the door, to sec a huge pan
ther with the babe in its month leaping
from an open window, immediately over
the bed. But she, like a true heroine,
sprang upon the bed and then out of the
window, screaming at the height of her
voice, and upon being joined by the other
children about the house, pursued the pan
ther at her utmost speed. They followed
about forty rods to a pair of bars which
separated the clearing from the forest, at
which place the girl states that she ap
proached to within fifteen or twenty feet
of the panther, when it relinquished its
hold of the child, leaped the bars and
made its way to the woods. The infant
was picked up much strangled from its
rapid movement through the grass and
sand which had filled its mouth and eyes,
but soon recovered and is now well, save
a few scratches about its body which have
the appearance of having been made by
the panther's teeth. These marks are
very plain and there are several blood
blisters where the reefh in slipping came
in contact. The girl states that the pan
ther dropped the child once before arriv
ing at the fence, and it is supposed the
giving away of the clothingwas the cause,
as it was much torn.
We obtained the foregoing particulars
from a gentleman living in Willis. Too
much praise cannot be bestowed on the
brave girl who saved the child's life.

Color or the Hair.
It is stated that the records of the British
Ro3al Society, extending over 200 years,
contain no instance of any sudden change
in the color of the human hair a circum
stance regarded as conclusive that no such
change has ever occurred, for had it ever
been undoubtedly witnessed it is not like
ly that it would have remained unde
scribed. The most prominent medical
writers confess themselves unaware that,
irrespective of recorded evidence, any
thing in support of the popular notion on
this subject can be adduced on physiologi
cal grounds. It is well known that
human hair cannot be injected. Using
colored fluid, such as a solution of nitrate
of silver and a solution of iodine, does
not produce any change of color except
in the portions actually immersed.
"Whether it owes its color to a fixed oil,
to a peculiar arrangement of its constitu
tional molecules, or to both, it resists de
cay in a remarkable manner; H resists the
action of acids and alkalies, except the
strongest, which dissolve it; it resists
maceration and even boiling water unless
for a long tiitfe applied and under pres
sure, when it suffers disintegration and
decomposition. Exposure to the sun will
bleach hair, but this will not account for
any sudden change of color. The popu
lar notion, however, is in favor of the
affirmative of this question, and some nat
uralists and physiologists adduce what
they regard as credible instances of hair
changing to white or gray in the case of
persons under strong emotions of grief or
terror. A. Y. Graphic.

Seasonable Hints.
As the planting season arrives it is as
well to repeat what we have often re
marked, that the relative advantages of
spring and fall planting are about evenly
balanced. Failures follow all seasons.
How to plant is of far more importance
than when to plant and the selection of
stock to plant, of far moie importance
than the time when it is done. A tree
that has been once or twice before trans
planted, and again carefully and intelli
gently taken up, may be successfully re
moved at cither planting season with the
odds of perhaps 100 to five in its favor.
But a tree never before transplanted such,
in fact, as a tree from the woods, or left
standing in the nursery from the seed-bed
is very risky at any time, and depends
rather on the weather following trans
planting for the first few weeks for any
probability of success. In selecting trees
for planting, then, be very particular to
ascertain that they have an abundance of
fibrous roots, and are carefully removed.
In this region we would plant evergreens
at once, after or in prospect of the first
good rain. Deciduous trees wc would
plant just K-forc the final fall of the leaf,
shortening oil' the ends of those shoots
that were not quite mature. After the loth
of October we would not plant evergreens,
nor deciduous trees after the 1st of Novem
ber. Early or not at all should be the motto.
Tree seeds should be either sown or pre
pared for sowing in the fall. Hard shell
seeds require time to soften their coats, or
they will lie over a year in the ground. It
used to be popular to mix with boxes of
sand ; but unless there be very few seeds
to a very large quantity of sand, the heat
given out, though perhaps imperceptible
to us, is sufficient to generate fungus
which will destroy the seed. It is much
better to soak the seeds in water, and then
dry just enough to keep from molding,
and as cool as possible all winter. This
is a much safer plan than sand. In States
where frosts are severe, seedlings of all
kinds that have not attained "a greater
height than six inches, should be taken
up, " laid in" in a sheltered place thickly,
and covered with anything that will keep
frozen through the winter. If left out
they are liable to be drawn out and
destroyed. Young seedling stock re
ceived from a distance, should also lie so
treated. In the more southern States they
may lc set out at once, and as much plant
ing as possible be accomplished that will
save spring work. Mary cuttings will not
do well unless taken oil' tit this season and
laid in the ground uuder protection, like
seedlings the quince, syringas, or lilacs,
spinea prunifolia, and some others. In the
" mild-winter States," evergreen cuttings
should be made now and set out thickly
in rows. The leaves need not be taken
oil, but short, thick-set branches laid in
under the soil. When rooted next fall
they may be taken up and divided into
separate- plants. In more northern States,
evergreens may not be so struck at this
season, unless protected by greenhouses
and frames. Where these are at hand,
evergreens may be put in, in boxes or
pans, nil through the winter. Gardener'

Irrigating Grass Lands.
The luxuriant pastures in which cattle
and sheep now revel and grow fat and the
abundant growth of aftermath on mead
ows, even those that prod need a very light
crop of hay, sufficiently demonstrates " to
the most superficial observer that an
abundance of water is necessary to the
best success in grass culture. Vc have
not had suc h fall pastures for a great many
years, simply because wc have not had
such a wet summer for a great many
years. In many localities the hay c rop
was short because of insufficient rains in
the spring. We have seen some meadows
that would mow a better second crop than
they did the first. These facts prove the
advantages of irrigation, as far as the
grass crop is concerned.
There are thousands of farms in Ohio
and adjoining States where irrigation is
both practicable and economical, and
where it is an absolute waste not to apply
it. In determining whether it will pay or
not it will be perfectly safe to estimate the
grass crop at double what it would be
without irrigation. According to the best
information we can obtain It is really
greater than this, and in some localities it
would be four times as great as without
irrigation. Then it must be remembered
that with irrigation grass lauds will pro
duce these extra crops for an almost in
definite period, without manure or the
trouble and expense of plowing up and
reseeding. The extent of surface that can
be irrigated must also be considered, as it
might cost as much to irrigate ten acres
as fifty, and of course the profits iu the
former case Mould be only one-fifth as
much as in the latter. Against all the ad
vantages or profits place the cost of dam
ming, trenching, manuring, reseeding,
etc., and you can tell whether it will pay
to attempt it or not.
On one farm we know of it was shown
that an abundance of water could be con
ducted from a never-failing steam half a
mile distant at a cost of $1,000, and fifty
acres of dry, sandy soil could be irrigated
thereby. If the grass crop could be
doubled by this process how long Mould
it take to pay the cost of constructing the
ditch?
Many farms are so favorably situated
that irrigation is available with very little
expense. Wherever a reservoir can be
tilled, on higher ground than that which
is to be irrigated, cither from springs, rains,
swamp drainage or brooks, there irriga
tion is available and should not be neg
lected, for there is no other means that
will produce so much profit at so little
expense. We have said nothing about
how irrigation increases the crops; this
fact is taken for granted, as it has been
demonstrated thousands of times in all
ages of the world, and in all countries.
Our object is to simply call the attention
of fanners to the subject. If additional
information is desired in regard to meth
ods employed or results accomplished, it
can be easily furnished. Ohio Farmer.

ersed was less than 500 miles, yet a month
was occupied in their transmission, and
he says he could have drawn them over
the same road in a hand-barrow in that
period. On opening his luggage after its
arrival he found that in three cases the
locks had been picked. In the fourth
case a steel chisel had been used and the
lock cut entirely out of tke leather. The
contents Mere completely rilled. His en
tire wardrobe Mas taken except in one
instance, where the thieves instead of
carrying off a morning coat tore it in two
and left the fragments. The writer adds
that he could have sent his baggage to
San Francisco and back, a distance of
7,000 miles, during the month he waited
to have it come but 500 miles.

grANisn Pickled Onions. Cut onions
into thin slices; put a layer of them in
a jar, sprinkle Mith salt and cayenne pep
per, then add a layer of onion, and season
as before. Proceed In this way till the
jar is full and pour cold vinegar over all
till covered. They will be fit to use in a

To clean and restore the elasticity of
cane-chair bottoms : Turn the chair lt
tom upwards and "w ith hot water and a
sponge wash the cane; wash well, so that
it is well soaked; should it be dirty, use
soap, let it dry well in the air, and it will
Ik; as tight and firm as new, provided none
of the canes are broken.
It may not be generally known that
boiling fruit a long time without sugar
and without a cover is very economical,
because the bulk of the scum rises from
the fruit and not from the sugar; boiling
without a cover allows the Mater to evap
orate, and so the fruit is firmer and better
flavored.
Stl kfed Caisuage. Take a large, fresh
cabbage and cut out the heart. Fill the
place M ith stuffings made of cooked chick
ens or veal, chopped very fine and highly
seasoned, rolled into balls with the yelk
of an egg. Then tie the cabbage firmly
together and boil in a covered kettle for
two hours. It makes a very delicious dish,
and is often useful for using pieces of cold
meat

blanched raisins, two blanched almonds,

sweetened. Bake until the apples are
tender.
Kansas farmers have abandoned the
old-fashioned M ay of raising pumpkins on
vines. They grew so big they couldn't
lift them into the wagons. The Leaven
worth Commercial says : ' There is a
pumpkin tree in Sumner County 150 feet
high, with forty-two rosy pumpkins on it.
Now they drive under the tree, bcnddoMn
limbs, saw oil" the stems, and let the pump
kins fall gently into the wagon.
JIatcii mats can be made of ordinary
sand paper, cut iu circular and octagonal
shapes, fastened upon pasteboard and
bound with bright-colored braids, a ring
attached to each, and theMhole hung near
the match safe lor use whenever a match
is lighted. The unsightly marks that dis
figure many Malls may by this inexpen
sive and simple arrangement be entirely
prevented. There should be one in every
room in the house.
IK drawing up -he earth over the potato in
sloping ridges the plant is deprived of its
due supply of moisture by raius, for when
they tall the M ater is cast into the ditches.
Further, in regard to the idea that, by
thus earthing up, the number of tubers is
increased, the effect is quite the reverse;
tor experience proves that a potato,
placed an inch only under the surface of
the earth, will produce more tuberrs than
one planted at the depth of a foot. iScien-

To corn beef in the pot, cover eight or
nine pounds of leau beef with loiling
Mater, add one teacup ol salt and boil
until tender. It m ill be found much nicer
than when corned in brine. If it is to be
eaten cold, w hen it is cooked quite tender
take out the bones, lay it in a tin basin,
the bottom of w hich is perforated like a
colander, press a plate firmly down upon
it and put a smoothing iron on top of the
plate. Of course the plate must lit imide
ofthe basin. The meat turns out in shape
and cuts very solidly. A colander will
answer, but has the disadvantage of slop
ing sides, and care must le taken to have
the plate so small as not to rest upon the
sides of the colander, and j'et la-gc
enough to cover the meat almost entirely.

Edible Birds' 'est8.
Edible birds' nests arc found for the
oiost part in the Southern Archipelajro
The chief region of supply is that com
prising Java, iJornco, uelebes and the
iSulu Islands. The birds which produces
the nests is a little swallow, Ilirundo Es
culcnta. This salangan swallow, as it is
called, is slightly bigger than a blue-tit;
it has a broMn back; but the under sur
face of its body, as also the extremities of
the feathers in its forked tail, are white.
It flies with wonderful speed and precis
ion; and on the Javan coast, where the
surge breaks M ildly against the precipitous
and caverned walls ot rock, the little birds
may be seen in swarms darting hither and
thither through the spray. They proba
bly feed on fragments of mollusks and
other small animals which abound on
those coast. As you watch the surface
of the Mater rising and falling, j-ou notice
how the holes in the rocks are now con
cealed, now open again, and the little
creatures, Matching their opportunity,
dart in and out M ith lightning speed.
Their nests are fixed to. the arched roof
of these caverns.
What sort of a thing, then, is the edible
bird's nest that ministers to the taste of the
luxurious Chinese? It is that portion of
the labric which serves as a sort of brack
et on which the nest itself (made of grass,
sea-Meed fibers, small leaves, etc., is
Duilt. There are two forms of this sup
port, one flat like an oyster-shell, the other
deep and spoon-shaped. It is a transparent
mass, somewhat like isinglass, mother-of-pearl,
or white horn, and is of animal ori
gin. It was formerly supposed that this
gelatine-like mass might be prepared in
the bird's crop, from sea-wced and other
marine plants. This, however, is a mis
take. If one opens the animal's stomach
about the time of building, it is found to
contain insects hut no vegetable matter ;
moreover, in all species of the family of
swifts the crop is M-antmg. Dr. Bernstein
has found that at that season the salivary
plaids under the tongue are enormously
developed. On opening the bill they are
ecn as two large swellings, one on either
side, and these chiefly supply the material
in question. They secrete a viscid mucus
substance, like a concentrated solution of
gum-arabic, which can be drawn out of
Lhe mouth in long threads; and in the air
it soon dries, and is found to be the same
(even microscopically) as the bracket ma
terial. CJiambers' Journal.
It is not the amount of land that
makes the farm rich, but the amount well
improved. A few acres tilled to its ut
most extent of production, will yield much
more of profit than the large farm badly
managed and tilled. The worst phase of
farming is the greediness of men for land.
A. new comer will put his last dollar in
land, and go in debt for his house and
farming tools, and in ninety-nine cases out
of a hundred he will, after striving hard
and living poor, find himself, at the end of
a dozen years, worse off than when he first
began. This is the general rule of those
who choose farming for their profession.

The editor of the Rome (N. Y.) Senti
nel has been shown a "design for an up
holstered front gate" which seems de
signed to become popular. The foot
board is cushioned and there is a warm
6oap-stone on each side, the inside step
being adjustable, so that a short girl can
bring her lips to the line ot any given
mustache without trouble. If the gate is
occupied at 10 :ti0 p. m.t an iron hand ex
tends from one gate-post, takes the young
man by the left ear, turns him around,
and he is at once started home by a steel
foot
