Every one intending to keep animals should first learn what is requisite for the health and happiness of each, and, if unable to provide it a suitable home, a sufficient •and punctual taup- ply of wholesome food, and opportuni- ties of healthy recreation, should at once decide not to keep it. Animals Should be used very gently, though firmly. We shonld remember that seeming obstinacy •mey arise from pain, fear, or irritation, of which we do not perceive the cause, but which may be soothed by quiet pattenee Frequent kind and cheerful notice is essential to the well-being of all animals in captivity. It is selfish and cruel to imprison, and so deprive them of variety exercise, and the society of their own kind, end give no compen- sation, such as gentle talk, caressing and amusement, whenever it is possi- ble.., If this is too mueh trouble, it is better not to keep them at all. All animals are the better for having a proper and comfortable bed, or roost, or a quiet, shady nook to sleep in, and their rest should be undisturbed. Do not wake them up to gratify cur- iosity, or to clean their dwellings at unreasonable hours. 13e carefus to remove any cause of fear; this is only just to creatures whom we have deprived of the, free- dom' to escape from distress. Aatoid alt harness, which interferes with the free, natural action of ani - Mats. • The dwellings of animals should whenever it is possible, have a south- erly or westerly aspect, as exposure to north or east wind is very fatal to thena. But while their position should be sunny, they should always have ac- cess to shelter and ghade when they desire it. ' Sheds, cages, etc., should. always be welt drained, and freely lighted and ventilated, but never draughty. It is absolutely necessary for health and comfort that in every case the dwelling, yard, cage and bed, should be kept thoroughly clean, to destroy vermin, prevent smell and also the re- tention of stale, and eheeefore un- wholesome food. Tins should. be done early in the morning, to avoid hind- rance and interruption, end because it is better for the animal to have fresh food and water than that winch has been kept in a close dwelling all night. Feed nocturnal animals at sun- set. When pebbles are required for the bottom. of tanks, cages, eta, smooth ones should. be procured; they should be sifted fine, and thoroughly washed before use. Except in small. cages, branches or sprigs of dead trees are better for perches than straight bars of wood, because the varying size of the stem , brings all the muscles of the foot or claw into action. Where horizontal perches are necessary, they should have flat tened sides and be died edges; a bird wilt then secure a firm grasp, and be less likely to fall . forwards whea asleep than if they were circu- lar. Placing the food in vessels, rather than scattering it loose, keeps it clean and prevents waste. AIL vessels used for food or water should be washed daily, and wiped dry before refilling ; otherwise food ratty turn sour, or the sediment from water wile accumulate and render the fresh supply unwholesome. Iron troughs, or plates lined •with porcelain, are, the best, being clean, cheap and durable. All food should be fresh and of good quality. 'Where the times of feeding are not regulated by practice, nor spe- cified in detail by manuals, food should be kept always within reach, but every day what is left and stale should be ear.efully removed, and fresh supplies offered. Milk especially should be quite fresh, and always boiled before use As a rule, give as much solid food daily as the animal will habitually eat up clean; green stuff, etc., may be given in addition. The food Ehopid be varied, and resemble as much as pos- sible that which the creature would seleci in its natural state. Every animal Should have a constant supply of pure water for drinking. Wa- ter should be kept e,onstantly in enema ailed mangers close to the head of horses in good stables. Water for bathing should be furnish- ed daily for animale requiring baths, In a. Separate" vessel, adapted to the form and convenience of the creature using it. Frequent washing is a great delight to many animals, and a useful preventive of vermin. Take pains to aseertoin the fitting temperature for each animal. Much suffering is chased by thoughtless per- sons, who are ignorant of the &La - gree of heat or cold whieh animals are by nature or habit abla to endure, When an a.nirnal is sick, .secure for it a shady, quiet and unmolested re- treat ; and take care that its treat- ment at such times Le kindly and gen- tle. This wilt insure an abundant re- turn of your patient's gratitude See elk, besides usetal food, it has that which it can eat, and is most 'welcome to it. When an animal must die, always secure the serviees of a humane and experienced person to deetroy it in the quickest and least palliftti way ; and be sure that it is really deal before it is removed. Nothitig. can excuse the brutality, of thine who, to SAVO ex- p,,nsc in this, etiffee animals, for vvhose welfare they are responsible, to be " h trayed 1 that is, etarved, left behind alone Ma chan,e•e of residence, to endure protracted misery, or to burden end distreLes their Most SenAis t 170 neighbors. ' NeVer faix to bury dead animals at once ; this is tecessery fax the health of the living, `.rho casting of dead eata, kittens Or rats, on to dust -lamps or public thoroughfares, 10 a disgusting laraPtlee; it eutrages the feelings of aU decent people, and is a, disgraee to those who permit it, USE, OF LAN.D PLASTER. So for as our observation has ex- tend.ed the nee of land plaster is not nearly as extensive awing farmers now 0.5 it was when we were farming in boyhood in a seetion where land had OnlY recently been reelitiraed trom for- est, says a writer, It appears to be certain that on land newly eleared gYristutt or lend plaster produces won- derful effects, especially 011 ()lover and other broad-leaved plants. But after some years of clover plastering' it was found that soraething else was requir- ed, and experiment with phosphates which began about that time showed that this was on heavy land what was needed. On high sandy soil potash was more often, the missing elenaent. $o the farmers who had sandy land eith- er mixed ashes with gypsum or sow- ed the potash fertilizers alone, and had beiter'results than they had from sowing gypsum alone as they had heretofore done. When phosphate was used it was usually given in the form of superphosphate, in which a large part of the lime is converted by sul- phuric acid, into gypsum, which is an- other name for sulphate, of lime. It was not merely useless, but injurious to add more gypsum to this, fax the ef- ficienny of the phosphate as phosphate depended on the very small portion of phosphate which was left active be- cause there was riot Brae enough for it to unite with. Yet we have seen farmers mix phosphate with gypsum or lime in its pure ferra, little realiz- ing that they were thus lessening the availability of the phosphate. There are many places where land newly cleared is brought tinder cultivation, and in all such we advise a trialof gypsum or land plaster. LL will prove there an effective fertilizer. CTJRRY COWS BEFORE MILKING, Cows should be curried and brushed in the morning before milking, as then they have just arisen, from an all night's recumbency, and are as dirty and dusty as at any time during the 24 hours. A prevalent custom for some enilers is to brush off the udder and. teats alter they have sat down to This is wrong, as then more or lea of the dirt will get in the empty pail, or, adhering to the hands, of the milker drop in afteFward. All of the cows should be curried and their sides and udders brushect before the milk- ing process has begun. - WORK AND SLEEP. The latter, says Sit - James Sawyer, Should Occupy Eight Hours. What should be the normal length of sleep? The question has been often put, and Sir Tames Sawyer has just answered it in a work of longevity. He says that sleep should occupy a third of the twenty-four hours. Al- though this figure is not at all ex- aggerated, it must be noted that some of the greatest workers of our time never devotedeight hours to slumber. Thus, Sir Ames Legges, professor of Chinese at Oxford University, who died at the age of eighty-two, rose every morning at three o'clock, and never slept more than five hours. Brunel, the famous engineer, worked twenty hours a day for the greater part of his life. Lord Heathfield, while comman- der-in-chief of Gibraltar during the four years' siege of the fortress never took more than four hours' repose. He lived to be eighty-four. Alexan• der Humboldt in his old age had to sleep ateleast four hours a"da.y, but it seems that in. his youth two hours were quite sufficient. This sav- ant consequently maintained that it was a great Mistake to think eight hours a day necessary for sleep. Littre rose at eight a.m., and while his bed- room, which served also as a study, was being arranged, went down stairs with a number 01 books, having learn- ed from. the Chevalier d'Agu.essau to turn idle moments to account. It was while waiting for his bed to be made that he is said to have conaposed the preface to his dietionary. At nine o'clock he sat down at his desk 1111 luncheon; at one P.M. he resumed his work and sent off his proofs to the Journal des Savants, t� which he con- tributed regularly from 1855. From three to six P -M. he worked at his dic- tionary; at six o clock, he dined, and at seven o'elock went back to his desk till three o'clock in the inorning, often continuing his studies in summer time till sunrise. Littre lived to the age of eighty. These instances show at Ieast that longevity is not incompatible with short sleep. filinWAWMttlfoibliNoW141.18flaaVANIAMMIN. 11 U 0 SE OLD. 161AMMAWMILWOMMWNAWA/WYMARA beleXg'i°1.nrecuesie9Ftiflo4frine'rthotla's:stvir3sdndSin502. y°aalcaTesbia): one family.

Warm: ehe pan, put the butter and sugar into, it, and with both hands mix them thoroughiy, then add the yolks of the eggs and raix these' in, next add the molasses'oleo- hole spice and one-half of the fLour, 1 teaspoon soda, rounded juet a little and. dissolved in a very lieele wate-r, mix all together till smooth. Put the fruit all in a pan, mix with it nearly half of the dry flour, Now add teethe cake mixture a little of the flour, a few handfuls of fruit and some of the whiles of the eggs, Continue to add them in this way till all are used, mix- ing in each addition, and continue mix- ing until all is an even inass. The whites ed the eggs should be beaten to a stiff froth betore they are used. This quantity makes four large loaves. Line tbe tins with two thicknesses of rath- er thin but firm manila paper, well greased, baked for three hours in a very moderate oven. Pork Fruit Cake—Orte pound of fat, salt pork, free, from lean or rind, chop- ped as fine as possible. Pour over it one-half pint of boiling water and stir it well. Add. 1 cup molasses., 2 cups sugar, 1 heaping teaspoon soda, a heaping mixing spoon each of nutmeg and cloves and 2 of cinnamon, 1 lb. seeded raisins, 1 of currants, 1-4 lb. citron, sufficient flour to make the pro- per thickness. It is best to test it by baking a spoonful in a small tin. Bake this cake in a slow oven about an hour. The cake will keep- well several months, ii properly stored in a stone jar in a cool, dry cellar. No -Egg Fruit Cake.—One cupeach of sugar, molasses and sour milk, 3-1 cup butter, pork fat or nice drippings, 1 rounded teaspoon soda, 1 teaspoon each of gratecl nutmeg, allspice and. clove, 1 cup each of seeded raisins and cur- rants, 4 cups of flour. This is a cheap cake, but an excellent one, and. keeps well. • A VALUABLE B.ECIPE. Here is a recipe that should be out Out and pasted in a corner of the kitchen mirror, where it can lee seen, for it will save many dollar's worth of time and strength. Shave five cakes of good hard soap into just enough boiling water to dissolve t/aern nicely. Stir constantly -until the soap is dis- solved, then add two teaspoonfuls of powdered borax, and a scant teacup of kerosene. .Stir well, then pour it into a covered stone jar, and use it when- ever anything very dirty, either eloth, tinware, woodwork, or ironuten.sils. is to be cleaned. Apply a little to the outside of your teakettle, while it is hot, and see how bright it will he. TJse a. little also, when cleaning your win- dows, and you'll never again regard that task as something to be put off as long as possible. For cleaning sinks, wash basins end slop, jars, there is nothing that can equal it, and by its use the dish towels can be kept nice and white without rubbing. Put them into a pan of cold water add enough of the compound to forra a good suds, and let them conae slowly to a boil. Let them boil until they are suffici- ently clean, then rinse them and hang them out. Such work will almost do itself, while one is attending to other duties, and the task of keeping clean is thus robbed of more than one half its terrors. - HOW TO COOK PORK. Pork Roll—Chop fine, a meat chop- per will do tlae work well and quickly, 3 lbs. raw lean pork, and 1-4 lb, fat salt pork. Soak a pint of white bread crumbs in cold water. When soft squeeze very dry, add. to the ehopped meat with a large onion ehopped fine, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 1-2 tea- spoon each of chopped sage and thyrue, and 1-2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix together thoroughly and form into a roll, pressing it closely and eompactly together. Have ready el.), ut: a table- spoon of fat in e frying pail, dredge the roll thickly with flour and brown it in the fat, turning it until nicely browned on all sides. Then place it in a baking pan, and bake in nt het oven for one hour. Baste it every len minutes with water. Do not turn or disturb the meat after it has been put into the Oven. Half an hour before dinner mad 12 or 14 smell earrote that have been pa,rimiled Ln sa trod boiling water for 1.5 minutes. When done, place the roll oh a platter, surround. 11 Wittl plain boiled macaroni, dot with 'carrots ahd pour ova` all a nicely eea- Soned tomato sauce. Pepper Pot—Cut 3 lbs, rather lean pork into 2 -inch eubes, fry until brown place in a 3 -quart stelae pot, a bean jar ie excellent for this purpose, hav- ing a close fitting lid, add 2 hale onione slieed, 6 large geeert peppers, the bell peppere are the best, being fine in flavor and mild, tt. tablespoon dealt, it fresh pork was used, and 8 Lae totnetoes peeled and cut small, il'ill the pot with water and plaoe in lho oven or on the back of the stove and Allow to simmer five or eix houes, ar even longer. The longer il ie nook - ed the better it will be. Person e Who ordinarily cannot eat pork, will eind Ibis dish will de them no berm. The sauce will be ride and nicely flavored, awl the meat tender end. toothsome. Serve witla it plenty a boiled rice or petatoes, Pork Croquettes, in cabbage Heaves— To 1 lb. lean pork chopped fine add I teaspoonful of salt, 1-2 teaspon each of pepper, chopped sage and thyme, 1 a -tat "0 ?nu 41ets.red poddotro voodsual onion also chopped. Mix wefl and stir in 2-3 cup, half-pint cup, of well- svaehecl raw rice. Wash a large cab- bage, having removed all tbe defeetive outer leaves. Flange it whole. into a large pot of boiling stilted water and boil for five minutes, remove and drain. This will render the leaves pli- able. Let, cool a Little, when pull the leaves apart, and wrap in eae,h leaf a tablespoon of the pork and rioe. Wrap it up securely and neatly as if tying up a parcel and secure witla wooden toothpieks or twine. When all axe done, lay in a baking dish end cover with a quart of tomatoes peeled and cut fine, mixed with a. half a pint of water, and a teaspoon of salt, Bake one hour in a hot oven, turning the oroquertes occasionally. If the sauce becomes too thick, dilute with it little hot water. Whea done, dish, pour over the sauce and serve with potatoes or hominy. These are very good in- deed.. If desired the ceoquettee may be steamed over hot water in a steara- er for 3 hours, Or plunged directly in- to a kettle of boiling water and boil- ed fax one hour. They are not so de- licate as when baked. • Pork Pie—Unless you have a brick oven do not attempt this dish, as it re- quires a long and even baking, which.. no stove oven can give. Make a good pie crust and line a large pan, one holding abont 6 quarts; in the bot- tom put a layer of thin slices of onions, then a layer of lean salt pork, which has been, previously browned in the frying pan, next place a layer of peel- ed apples, which sprinkle vItith a little brown sugar, -using 1-2 lb. sugar to 3 lbs. apples; then begin with onions, which sprinkle with pepper, pork, and anples again, and so on until the dish, is full. Wet the edges of the crust, put on the top °Mast, well perforated, 9nd bake at least four hours, longer if possible. These pies are eaten hot or cold and are a great favorite with the English people. Potaotes may be used in place of apples, but they do not give the naeat so fine a flavor. Pork Potpie—Three pounds pork, if salt pork is used freshen it well, cut inao inch cubes. Fry brown, add a large onion sliced, and a teaspoon each of chopped sage, thyme and parsley. Cover with 5 pints of water and boil fax two hours, add a large pepper cut small or a pinch of cayenne, and a tablespoon of salt, if fresh pork has been used. Add also 3 pints of vege- tables, carrots, turnips, and parsnips out small, boil half an hour longer, when add a pint of potatoes cut into small pieces, and some dumplings. Cov- er closely, boil 20 minutes, when pour out into a large platter and serve. The dumplings are made of one pint of flour, one teaspoon salt, and one tea- spoonful baking powder, sifted togeth- er. Add two eggs, well beaten and one cup of milk. Mix -op.t all the lumps and. drop by spoonfuls into the stew. Serve this potpie with a, salad of dandelion leaves, dressed with olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.

A very interesting dog which once belonged to the late General Gordon, of the English army, better known as " Chinese Gordon," is being kept at the Gordon Boys' Orphanage, at Dov- er, England.. It is the property of Major Sell, of the King's regiment, who says regarding it: "The dog's name is Wang. When Geneval Gordon was recalled from China to go to Khar- toum, about 'fourteen years ago, he brought three of the rare black Chow puppies back with him, and when he arrived at Gibralter he gave Wang to Sir Tohn A.die's daughter. Sir John was an old friend et General Gordon and was then commanding at Gibral- tar. Wang remained in the possession of this lady until her husband, Who is in the toyat artillery, got a staff appointment in London, evhen he gave. the old dog to me. The other two pup- pies are believed to be dead, so that Wang is the only remaining one that. General Gordon owned. Wang is very deaf and lame. It is strange he should have eonae to the Dover Gordon Boys after all these years." - Very nearly as interesting as Wang is the kilted boy whoacts as his keep- er, Robert Robinson, Three years ago Robert's father turned the starving lad out of doore at Crewe, England.. The little fellow tramped..from place to 'deem, living as he could., Return- ing to Crewe, he found that his moths; er was dead and the home that he had been driven from was broken up. Tramping again, lie eventually got to London and there it constable found him, a mere bundle of rags and botieS, tisleep at the foot ot the Got -don sta- tue. in Tref algae ,square. He vvas eventtially taken to the aorden Boys' Home, and as Wang's keeper is one of that institution's most honored 1 - mate. A TREATY OF PEACE, Have Seribbler, the atith.or, and hie wife made it up?

The Moor, like the Russian, is an inveterate tea drinker, and. his style of imbibing the cup that cheers has pe- culiarities even more marked than the Russian's substitution of lemon juice for milk. In the first plaee, when tea is to be drunk, the Moorish servant brings the teapot, whieli be sets down with great pomp beside his master, who al- ways presides over the drinking. Then the servant fetches the urn of boil- ing water, the teapot is rinsed, the tea is put. in, the pot is filled with water in the ordinary way. Then after a certain number of minutes tbe pot is opened, and. the froth which has risen to the surface is skimmed off, and into the pot is craranaed as much.freshly-grown mint as it will. hold. Ther handful after handful of sugar is added to the contents of the pot, and it is allowed to stand for a little while longer. The master pours out a little of this weak tea, which, of course, is highly flavored, and drinks it in order that his guests may be sure it has not been poisoned. The stranger who is invited to drink tea must consume three cups, which is the regulation quantity to be swallowed by those to whom the Moor would do honor—three cups of mint- ed tea with an accompaniment of cakes which those who have tasted them declare are made with rancid butter, Children Cry tor CAST A.
