ARMY DOUGHNUTS.
A. Massachusetts officer details
with evident enjoyment some for.
aging exploits of the Northern army
during Shermau's great march.
One of these was of a sort which
even the bitterest Confederate
might have enjoyed.
One day a forager noticed an or•
namental shrub growing in a yard
in red clay, with marks of black
loam on it. It struck hien that it
was not in its native soil, and ho
went for that bush.
It easily acme out of the ground ;
and out of the hole under it, of
which it was the tell tale, came a
whole stock of provisions land fam-
ily clothing.
Another of our men, while cross•
ing a ploughed field, was attracted
by suspicious signs, and run his
ramrod into the ground. A foot
down it struck something solid.
The kind-hearted finder hastened
to make others rich as well as him.
self. He ran down to the band,
with two tin cups running over, one
with syrup, the other with peach
butter, while the delicious sweets
dripped from his clothing and his
person, as if in confirmation of his
pleasing tale.
"Plenty more right up there ;
forty-two hogsheads lull!
Sometimes a mistake was made.
One of the band, passing a log.
house, levied on it for a calabash of
lard, and the usual batch of dough.
nuts was fried that night.
A peculiar flavor, supposed to be
due to an excess of soda, was notic-
ed ; but hard -marched men, with
sharkish appetites, did not stop for
trifles. Daylight revealed the fact
that the doughnuts had been fried
in soft soap.
THE SPIRIT OF THE PEW.
Don't let the children hear you'
criticise the sermon as too long, too
profound, too anything. Don't suf.
fer anyone, friend, neighbor, CM*
rade, to criticise the pastor 'unfavor-
ably in your presence. Don't say
that the prayers are a weariness, too
long, too slow. It is to be remark-
ed that they who carry a devout
heart to church seldom find the
prayers too long, and usually dis-
cover in the sermon some words of
comfort, instruction or help, ubioh
was specially meant for themselves.
It is to be !eared that we often
lose much of the good that we ought
to receive in the house of God be-
cause we enter it with the pressure
of our seoular affairs weighing us
down, the thoughts of our earthly
cavae and ambitions following Bard
after us its we take our plane in the
pew. Were the pew ever in true
love and sympathy wits the pulpit,
how the latter would be reinforced,
how surely to the world-weary, the
indifferent, the discouraged, the an.
tagonietic, and the mon and women
of little faith, herr surely to all of
time would the blessing come from
above,
trick was played on Lim oue day.
The tray of his favorite cookies waa
hidden. When ho deposited his
own he was told to go away, There
were no cakes• He put his fore•
paws up on the counter, sniffed
round, asoertained that there really
were none to be had, licked up his
penny and departed."
.L'arra Noto,a.
Charcoal is much approoiated by
the fowls. The best is formed of
charred grain. Corn roasted like
coffee and fed twice a week would
no doubt pay the trouble.
Wheat and pate should be given
alternately -oats always dry ; wheat
either dry or cooked. I have in-
variably had good results feeding
sound wheat boiled to bursting.
A moderato dose of sulphur given
twice a week serves as a laxative
anti blood purifier. The sulphur
permeates the whole system, even
coming through the skin ; and, be-
ing death to ineout life, causes para-
sites to drop off.
Season all soft food with a pinch
of salt. A. small quantity of flax
seed meal mixed with their morning
meal is also strongly advised. It
makes their plumage bright and
glossy, and deepeus the Dolor of
their combs and earlobes.
Moulting hens require extra at-
tention. Their rations should con.
stet of a
variety of foods, glob in all
the elements of nutrition, for every
want of the system must bo satin•
Sed before the process of feather
making can be materially assisted.
Dry lime is to caustic to be given
alone. Keep a vessel of lime wat-
er convenient, and mix a small
quantity with soft food and also
with their drinking water. Lime
water is a corrective of bowel die•
ears, and it is also a remedy for
soft-shelled eggs.
Make fresh dust bathe and
sprinkle them slightly with carbolic
acid. Provide a plentiful supply of
grit or sharp gravel. Keep feeding
troughs and drinking vessels clean
and wholesome. And toward the
close of the moulting season make
a number of nice new nests, for hone
thus cared for will pay for the
trouble by heaping your egg•baskets
when the market is at its beet.
The value of lime iu the poultry
yard cannot be overestimated ; ex-
perience teaches that there is noth
ing more effective as an insect de-
stroyer than a thick coating of
whitewash made of fresh lime and
an infusion of crude oarbolio acid.
Cleanse the house thoroughly be-
fore applying, and cover every ac-
oessible portion of the woodwork,
especially the perches and the sills
on which they rest. A generous
fumigation of sulphur and tobacco
is also advantageous,
1501V TO PRESERVE EGGS.
The practice of storing away eggs
during the summer when they are
cheap and holding until fall for bet-
ter prices is increasing. In many
cases there is no doubt but that it
has been highly profitable yet the
increase in the business ;is almost'
certain to gradually lower prices
and consequently to dimineh the
profits.
No plan will keep them or make
them equal to fresh eggs to use,
and while this may not be a suffi-
cient reason for not storing, yet it
is certainly the fact that for home
use, at least, freshly laid eggs are
the most satisfactory. Of course
many keep poultry for profit, and
if properly done there is no question
but that a good profit can be real-
ized.
Eggs, during the summer months,
are usually very low, while as 80011
at cool weather sets in, in the fall,
prices get better and the difference
in the price with the cost of the
work taken off that determines the
profit.
There are several plans. The
most important item .is so far as
poseible to keep at a pool even tem-
perature. Some follow the plan of
putting in a place prepared express.
ly for them with ioe stored in such
a way as to keepcool others of
covering with lime wash completely
so as to exclude the air and packing
in a cool plane. Care must be taken
to keep the Aiello all covered so as
tolexolude the air. Packing in salt,
if the work is properly done, taking
Oars not t0 have them tench, and
keeping in a soul collar will pre-
serve them. Another plan is to
put in trays arranged so that they
oat be turned over readily about
three times a week. Eggs will keep
better if the males aro all taken
away two or three weeks before
commencing to pack, Care should
also be taken to have only fresh
eggs. They should be gathered
oarefolly every day, for lotting them
eland oven three or four days, and
especially if the roosters aro. left
1 with them, they aro nlmott pertain
to prove a loss. Boxes convenient
to handle sbonld be used and c0:1•

1! ae Blest Notes.
' Ilfoorieh jackets cannot be worn
to advantage by plump gide.
The tinsel -snot gauzes for the
ball gowns of this season come in
all the loveliest medium shades of
evening color, as well as in pare
reds, pinks, bluee, greens and
yellows.
The Lean and lithe girl is favored
by the styles of dress now in vogue,
They say that Astralcau is going
out of favor in Perla. Bot it is not
in New York.
The Figaro jacket is a thing of
the past. The Celtic and the Moor-
ish jackets have taken its place.
Surplice draperies, sash belts and
buckles have developed into pro-
portions loo immense for fat girls.
Duth high and low coiffures are
wore but the most fashionable
girls, dress their locks low and band
theta with fillets of ribbon or silver
or gold a la Grooque.
Tho red bunting, coat, opening
over a white or grey corduroy waist-
coat, and worn with any kind of
skir —blue, gray, v, green egi
or black—
is the correct bunt habit,
The red jockey cap is the correct
headgear for the girl who follows
the hounds in a hunt habit made up
of a scarlet coat, a dark skirt and a
corduroy waistcoat.
Minerva or fine gray squirrel fur
is again worn fashionably in Paris.
But the gray hairs are all slightly
tipped with ruddy brown, which
makes this old favorite of forty years
ago a very becoming fur.
Black fishnet makes an excellent
underskirt for a black tulle ball
gown, composed of many skirts of
black tulle falling one over the oth-
er. the topmost one illuminated
with silver or steel tinsel, or with
gold or oopper tinsel if the wearer
s a dark brunette.
One of the prettiest fads in fanny
needle -work articles is a butterfly
in -cushion of brown pongee silk,

The Directory dress, "pure and

ong enough to touch the ground,
ometimes slightly trailing in the
rick, the full bodice sometimes
rossed in a surplice and fastened
