The Huron Expositor, 1888-03-02, Page 6s o 6 riP111111111111.11•1111111Iir f F THE IjURON EXPOSITOR. Skinning the Ox. "Bad news, master," exclaimed ol. Absalom, a venerable negro of the (al. Regime, putting his head in at the batik door one morning just as Mr. Saundere, a farmer in a Virginia country neigh- liorhood, was sitting down to breakfast. "Why, what's the matter, Absalom ?" inquired Mr. Saunders. "De ole ox is done took sick, and • on de lift." Mr. Saunders went with Absalom t the pasture to see the invalid ox, and together they exhausted the whole range ef remedies known in bovine complaints!. Dinner was fairly pushed off the stove by the decoctions of herbs, spice-woodt, pine tags, etc., and yet, though copious- iy drenched with all these, the ox did not rally, nor could six men with fence rails pry him up. After spending the whole day in fruitless attempts to re. lieve the apparently dying animal, *bout sundown Mr. Saunders gave him up as a bad job, and turned to go home, remarking to Absalom as he started, " Anyway, I don't want to lose his bide; so you must come here and skin him the first thing you do in the morn, anga, The next morning Mr. Saunders gan to look for Absalom with the hide at breakfast time, but still he had not arrived. Half an hour passed, then an hour. " That old animal must be tough and hard to skin," said Mr. aSaunders, eeeking to account for the delay; but growing restless, he determined to go sind see for himself what was the hitch. Ilalf-way between the house and the pasture he met Absalom, the perspire - Ilion standing in great beads on his ithiny black skin, the ox hide waving trophy like in his hand, whilst a look of *earning complacency overspread his face. "What in the world made you take lb long, Absalom?" asked Mr. Saunders. ""Cause it took me such a long time bb catch him, master," replied Absalom. " Catch him !" gasped Mr. Saunders. "Yes, sir. He give me a heap o' trouble. I had to chase him over de gesture three times before he would let vile catch him." "Chase him !" again gasped Mr. Saunders. "Yes sir," continued Absalom, with op air of modest pride in his efficient anagement of the job. "Den I knock - Oa him in de head and killed him, and den I skinned him like you tole me," koking at Mr. Saunders for applause, at at least for approval. But Mr. Saunders used language that made Absalom take to his heels. • Domestic Economy. " Dorothy " gives in the Country Centleman this on impromptu puddings: Catharine Owen tells a good story of getting a hasty lunch for an American friend in Paris, in which one cold Iaotato and a cup of cold mush, which, accordance with French economy, d been put in the safe instead of the garbage -pail, enabled her to provide two American dishes -corned -beef hash and fried mush -a rare treat to one Who had been living for months in Eu- Niepean hotels. The ,dainty lunch was !epared in twenty minutes; and this minds me of an advantage in using oded food which we generally over- look ; it can be prepared muth quicker than a fresh supply, and so saves time as well as money. ,Many housekeepers think that a, certain amount of waste in feud is inevitable, and ido not take the trouble to see ilovk large the drain Neurally is. Perhaps they would be torpriaed to see, by a close examination, w much remained after each meal was made of no further use. Even rale is worth saving. It takes only a *dry ittle cooked or uncooked food to zipresent 5 cents, yet 5 cent 4 a day will apsount to enough in a year to buy sev- eral good books; and how many of us who are fond of reading think we can- not spare inoney to buy new books! In moat families where oatmeal, eerealine, or cracked wheat is custom- arily cooked for breakfast there is osually a little left -from two or three spoonfuls, perhaps, to a pint. This will make a nice dessert in many different ways. Otte of,the siinplest is : f)attneal brown betty, for which you 'wed only arrange in a pudding dish alternate layers of apples, cut as for a pie, with the cold oatmeal. Sprinkle a little sugar and spice over each layer of apples, put oatmeal last, smooth it over with a knife, and. dot it with a few hits of butter. Let it brown nicely, and eat hot with a liquid sauce or sugar said cream. Cerealine custard is made by rubbing the cold mush smooth with a. little milk, and adding eggs and sugar, as for an ordinary custard, allowing two eggs in- stead of four to a quart of milk, with a etrpful of cerealine. The proportions /slay vary to snit the convenience of the epok. The yolks of the eggs only may be incorporated; then, after baking un- til the custard is set, spread a litt e jelly or jam over the top, and make a ft meringue with the whites of the evgs and pulveaized sugar. Set back in the oven for a few moments to brown delicate'y. i Chocolate Pudding. -Two small cup- fuls of oatmeal, two eggs, a square of Baker's chocolate, scraped or grated, Vad softened with a few drops of boil- ing water, two cupfuls of milk, four tablespoonfuls of coffee sugar, and a teaspoonful of vanilla extract. Stir the ahocolate until perfectly smooth and add it to the oatmeal. Beat the eggs thoroughly, mix the whole smoothly, aaul bake until set. Two New Bread Puddings. -One or •two eggs and a few slices of stale bread will suffice for one of these, while the other may be made without milk or eggs. Either one, nicely prepared and served hot, is very acceptable for a cold winter's day. Beat two eggs thor- oughly and 'add a pint of milk and a pinch of salt ; half the quantity will be enough for a small family. Pour this over same slices of bread in a broad dish and let it stand till thoroughly moisten- ed. Put a little fresh butter or drip. pings in a frying pan and brown the slices quickly and carefully, or they aaay be immersed in deep fat in a fry- iug-kettle. Pare and core, as many apples as you have slices of 'bread and atetun while the bread is soaking. Put an apple on each slice, sprinkle a little pulverized sugar over them, and serve with cream. For the other pudding, make a thin ruel with a quart of boiling water, _ lted, and two tablespoonfuls of granu- lated yellow meal. Cook it very thor- oughly; add a handful of raisins, half a cupful of sugar, and nutmeg or ginger to taste. Toast half a dozen slices of of bread, carefully trimming off the least scorching; butter it well, lay it in a pudding -dish, and pour the gruel over It. Let it stand for half an hour; then bake half an hour and serve hot. An omelette aux confitures has a fine sound, but on the farm (when the hens lay) it is an easy, quick, inexpensive, and very tocithsome dessert. Four eggs and a cupful of milk will make what can be cooked at once in an ordinary frying -pan, or you may use three eggs and a handful of bread crumbs rubbed fine. Soak the bread in the milk while you beat the yolks and whites of the eggs separately, mix all together and cook as usual. When the omelet is set pour over a glass of jelly or fine pre- serves of any kind and fold over. Sprinkle the top with pulverized sugar and serve quickly. Stale cake or cake overbaked, or even (worse) underdone, will make an im- promptu dessert. Out off the crust, if burned, and put on a chocolate icing,and serve with a hot sauce; or cut in slices. If underdone, make a custard and pour over and bake- Or if stale, moisten with wine, then make a soft boiled custard, and pour over. Or a gelatirie cream with lemon, breaking ,the cake in bits and settling it in a mold; this requires more time, of course. Some of these simple desserts make a very acceptable dish to vary the mono- tony of continual/cake at tea. An Inventory. Bertie attains his majority to -day, and enters upon his inheritance. The estate is as follows : Item: One head earried six feet two above mother earth, which never abated an inch for dishonor, stored with the lore of the sages as imparted in the cur- riculum of college as far as to the midst of senior year. Item : One pair of eyes of clear gray that never veiled their brightness through sharne.1 Item : One vocal apparatus good to rollick inlaughter, to give the college yell, to grow deferential toward women or the aged, winning toward little chil- dren, tenderly reverent in address to "Our father. ' - Item: One pair of 'arms which offer themselves as ga.11anq for the support of mother and sisteas as for the other fellows' sister. Item: One heart Which pump e the clear, Puritan blood into the man's cheek still flushing with the boy's beauty. Item: One pair of long 'legs terminat- ing in number seven shoes. Lively shoes, good for -striding over the tennie court or Beading the football reeling across the campus; unsophisticated shoes, that lack the "light fantastic toe," and do not know the difference be- tween a reel and a galop ; gentlemanly, well -polished shoes, that tread lightly; willing shoes, that run to oblige; pru- dent shoes, that move readily toward the poet of responsibility and swiftly away from the scene of needless danger and temptation. - In addition, the following sundries: The esteem of 'many minds; the ten- der love of a few hearts; the inheritance of the clean lives and the accumulated prayers of many godly generations; a quick but not ignoble temper; citizen- ehip in the great Republic, with a man's freedom and ' a man's responsibilities ; and the whole world as a field before hint. 1 Whe will say that our Bertie is not a rich boy -I shoufd have said -a rich man! A Great Legacy to bequeath to your chi1dren1 is a _strong; clean, pure coostitut on -better than wealth, because it will never prove a curse. You cannot give what you do not posses, but mothers will. find m Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription a wonderful help -correcting all weaknesses, bringing their ayetems into perfect condition, 6o that their children, untainted, shall rise up to call them ilessed ! There is not a druggist in all the land But always keeps a stOck on hand. Worth Living. Is live worth living? And how many to -day are putting, that question in a dull, grim despair ! ‘Vhy should men be brought into this world, they ask, to taste every pain and tnortification;to 'be- ome acquainted with grief, and then erish mierably ? Why should they spend their lives like beasts of burden, to be laden up withsorrows till at last their poor baelrs break? Butcsurely this is not the universal view of life. "-They that are planted in the house of the Tsord shall flourish in- the courts of our God. They shall bring forth fruit in old age, they shall be fat and flourish- ing." Among the, very poorest such cases may be found. I remember many years ago hearing that, owing 'to ad- vanced years, a worthy, workingman in my neighborhood. had "got his leave," as people called it, by his employer. -It seemed - to me a sad blow, for the man and his excellent wife had nothing earth- ly to fall back on. I went to see them, expecting. to lind them in deep waters, but, to my.surprise, I never saw thorn more cheerftil. " We have never want- ed a meal," said the old woman, "and when we Sit down at the fireside, we have such fine 'cracks' about -Provi- dence !" I could hardly convey the meaning of the Scotch phrase in classic language. The spirit of trust had -got a wonderful place in these poor people's minds, and it brought with it wonderful serenity and , joy: They certainly did not ask, Is life worth living? To them winter was 'almost annihilated. Life in all its varied experiences was as God ordered it. And death, when it came, would be great gain. -Professor W. (4. 131aikie. The Most Profitable Horse. At the outset every one must stop to consider what kind of horses he will raise. The " general , purpose horse" is a very convenient and useful animal up- on tne farm, but he is not wanted any- where else, and he is generally a low- priced horse in the market. We do business to make money, and the money return must be our first consideration - We must therefore breed for a definite purpose. What shall it be? The present prices of different grades of horees at the Twenty-fourth street inarket in New York city are as follows; Common street car horses, $125 to $150 ; best street car horses,, '3160 to $175 ; ronalsters,fifteen and a half hands high,of good quality, $250; roadsters of extra quality, and capable of trotting in three minutes $400 to $500; coupe horses, from $275 to $400 ; "coachers, from $800 tO $1200 per pair, with higher prices for great excellen6e ; express horses, weigh- ing 1300 pounds, $350 to 8375; truck horses weighing 1,400 pounds and up- ward, 8375 to $400 each, with those of extra size and quality, from $450 to $500 each. We can study these figures with advantage. It does not pay any one to raise horses of the street car class, and when electric ity is generally used for street car pro pulsion, these horses will have almost no market whatever. How uncertain is the breeding of the roadster class. Ail the others are large sized horses. Coachers are high-priced when of good quality, but it is difficult to get them good enough. They must have fine heads, and good necks well put on, and high knee action, and a lofty carriage of the tail, and their color must be good. Then much time and expense are neces- sary to get them "shaped up" properly. .;The truck horse commands nearly as high an average price as does the coach- er, and his value is not affected by a big head or a little one, and but little by his neck whether it iS long or short. He can carry his tail where and as he pleases, and it matters little •civ hat his color is. In other words, there are five or more blanks in raising coachers to one in draft horses. The new French Coach- ers and the Cleveland Bays are magnifi- cent and I wish there were more of them, but we are now looking only for money. In breeding draft hmaes from any but pure-bred mares there will of course be a difference in the size and action of the progeny. Fortunately all these drop into good classes. If not heavy enough for draft purposes they command good prices from the express cempanies, while the best in style and action make excellent coupe horses. The very light- est are well tinted for the increasingly popular hansoin. Colonel Ravenhill, who examined American horses with a view to their purchase for the English army, stated in his report that our horses are only suit- ed for the lightest mounts, w hile the horses large enough for artillery service and for use in the commissary depart- ment cannot be found here in sufficent numbers to warrant any reliance to be placed upon them. There can be no question but that this correctly repre- sents the inferior size of our average horses. Similar stateinents are given in the reports made to the French and German governments by their officers who made examinations here. We thus have additional reasons for breeding and feeding for greater size. The figures I have given were obtain- ed but a few days ago from I. Fl. Dohl- man, the largest dealer in New York, and this important statement was added, that draft horses can always be sold for ready cash, while coa.chers, roadsters, etc., often eat off a 'good part of their heads in finding buyers. We therefore conclude from the foregoing that our farmers will find much greater profit in breeding heavy horses than can be ex- pected from those of any other char- acter. It is not our purpose to enter into the consideration of the relative merits of the various large breeds, or to indicate whether Normans, Clydes or Shires will give the greatest profits from their colts. ‘Ve will content ourselves with the statement that soundness of feet, level- headedness, quietness of disposition and rapidity of walk are prime consider- ations and are here named in the order of their iinportance. The breed that possesses these qualities in the greatest degree should be preferred. - James Wood. Essay on Tobacco Smoking. At the meeting of Blairgowrie and Rattray Y. M. C. A. one night, Mr. James Thompson read an essay on "Tobacco." He gave a short :sketch of its history, nature and effects. Tobacco, he said, contains deadly poison, the evil effects of which those who use it cannot avoid. The foremost men among cricket- ers, oarsmen, athletes, marksmen, run- ners, walkers and billiard players con- demn tobacco as antagonistic to cool and steady nerves. ProfessOrs of rhetoric and vocal culture condemn tobacco, be- cause it spoils the voice. Tobacco smok- ing Puts the heart out of its regular ac- tion, and in the case of eibessive smok- ers tends to heart disease. The essay- ist spoke against tobacco: 1. Because it is unnatural. It is an acquired habit, against which nature al- ways at first rebels. 2. Because it is expensive. In Great Britain about :C16,000,000 are spent annually on pipes and tobacco. 3. Because it is dirty. The con- stant expectoration by the user of tobac- co is not among the things that are pure, lovely and of good report. - 4. Because it is dangerous. No man can tell the number of farm buildings, forests,houses,ships,mines, &c., that have been set on fire by smokers. 5. Because it is injurious. It in- jures the intellect, the memory, the body, .the offspring and the -manufac- turers. No less than seventy-eight dis- eases are traced to it. The saliva -first poisoned and then spit -ought . to go to nourish the body. 6. Because it is annoying. Ladies and others are compelled to endure the nuisance. 7. Because it is troublesome to the smoker ,himself. 8. Because it is degrading. The smoker first masters his pipe, and then the pipe masters him. Every confirm- ed smoker knows it is difficult* to give tip tobacco. 9. Because it often leads to drinking. The pipe and the pot are generally in alliance. 10. Because the smoker sets a bad example. All are agreed that it is not desirable for. boys to smoke, but few smokers set the right example by put- ting out their own pipes. 11. Because smoking condemns it- self. Tho essayist never yet met a smoker who advised him to learn, al- thoughmany had advised him not to do so. 12. Because it is selfish. The smok- er is usually a selfish man. If he is poor and times hard, he will smoke his tobacco. Self-denial is a Christian duty. How can any one deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and yet be a slave to this pernicious weed ? Smokers should con- sider the matter solemnly before Cod, and abandon it. -From the Blairgowrie Advertiser. 1 This and That. An old lady went into a Boston book- -store,the other day with an order which was rather difficult to fill. She said to the clerk at the counter : "Do you keep Bibles ?" "Yes ma'am." "Well, I want a small pocket Bible in very large print. -One-Of our Somerville ministers is complaining that he has a grudge against the newspaper paragraphers of the country. "I used to be kept sup- plied with daintily embroidered slippers ON TEIE-RE SPOTS all the time," says he, "but you fellows have made so many jokes about the practice, and poked so much fun at the fair donors, that the other day I had to go and buy a pair.-Sornerville Jour- nal. -Experts say that curtains and fine laces can be made of malleable iron or steel. At the Centennial Exhibition a piece of steel rolled by a mill in Pitts- burg was so thin that it weighed less than a book leaf and could be blown off the hand easier than paper the same size. The sheets for steel lace will be rolled down to a low gauge and the prt- terns pressed into them. The lace can be -made light or heavy, and is suitable for ladies' and children's underwear,and perhaps for trimming hats, wraps, and dresses. -There was once great consternation in the office of "Zion's Herald" when the writer of an obituary article upon a mother in Israel having said in pious phrase that she died and "claimed the promises," the paper was made to aver that she had died "and cleared the pre- mises." And it was out at Worcester, Mass., where the Rev. George H. Hep- worth having declared in a public ad- dress "I am not a free lance,' the sedate "Spy" gave him fame by printing the sentence, "I want a free lunch." -Bos- ton Transcript. -A writer in the New York "Ob- server," describing life in Russia, says there the priesthood is divided into two classes -the white and the black clergy. The white clergy are the parish priests, are obliged to marry, and have duties corresponding to those of pastors in this country. The black clergy, or, as they are called, "the black monks," hold the places of power in the church, are celi- bates, and live in monasteries. Their dress gives their names to the priests. Not unnaturally, the white priests and the black monks are anything but friends. According to an official report, which has just been issued, the annual cost of the attempt to exterminate the Aus- tralian rabbits in Victoria has risen from £1,280 in 1878 to :£20,200 last year, while in New South Wales no less a sum than £360,000 has been expended during the last four years; and although in some districts they are considerably reduced in numbers, yet there is no general improvement, and it is now sus- pected that the rabbit destroyers have not been acting honestly, as, although hundreds of thousands have been killed, yet in a few months they are as abund- ant as ever. The Best Laid Schemes Gang Aft Aglee. Will some of the writers on •` syste- matic housekeeping" please inform me what they would do in a case like the following? I resolved to do my work in perfect order: Monday, washing; Tues- day, ironing; Wednesday, baking bread; Thursday, mending; Friday, baking; Saturday, cleaning and getting ready for the Sabbath. Having a family of nine (five being children) and no one to assist -(except what help the children give,) I am busy until long into the night. Now when Monday comes a sick child com- pels me to postpone the washing. Tues' - day, in the midst of my washing, in cotnes a neighbor, who is deaf. Being obliged to sit by her to talk while she stays, the work is delayed; and as she leaves, in comes husband with a button off, or a finger to be done up, and then it is supper time. Thus goes the work all the week, and in winter it is still worse, as I cannot put the clothes out of doors to dry during a storm, and having no place for them in the house, except where they freeze hard during the night, I can wash only on pleasant days. Now what to do, is what 1 would like to know. 1 would also like to know what to do for my hands. The ends of my fingers crack open, close to the side of the nail, during cold weather. I have tried several remedies, but none seem to do much good. What shall I try next? -Mrs. C. A. C. Advice to Mothers.
