FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Confectionery Recipes. Lemon Drops. Upon half a pound of finely powdered sugar pour just enough lemon juice to dissolve it and boil to the consistency of thick sjiup ; drop this on plates and put in a warm place to harden. Boston Caramels. One pint bowl of Baker's grated chocolate, two bowls of yellow sugar, one bowl of New Orleans molasses, one-half cup of milk, a piece of butter the size of a small egg and vanilla flavor; boil about twenty-five minutes ; this should not be so brittle as other candies. Tour in buttered tins and mark deeply with a knife. Euerton Taffy. In a shallow vessel melt together one pound of brown sugar and one-quarter pound of butter ; stir them together for fifteen minutes, or until when the mixture becomes brittle when dror ped in cold water. Lemon or vanilla flavoring should be added be fore the cooking is complete. Butter a flat plate and pour the taffy upon it to cool. "When partly cold mark in squares with a knife. Chocolate Cream Ditors.-Mix one-half cup of cream with two of white sugar.boil and stir full five minutes ; set tho dish into another of cold water and stir until it becomes hard. Then make into small balls about the size of marbles and with a fork roll each one separately in the chocolate, which has in the meantime been put in a bowl over the boiling tea kettle and melted ; put on brown paper to cool ; flavor with vanilla if desired. This amount make3 about fifty drops. RuetMinii Mulberry. This valuable and ornamental tree was first brought to this country by the Russian Mennonites, and trees, the seed of which was planted five years a?o, are twenty feet in height and six inches in diameter, and have borne full crops of fruit since they were two years old. Color of fruit red and black, flavor sub-acid. In Russia they are used as we use raspberries and blackberries. Large quantities of this fruit are sold annually in the markets of Russia. The tree is, as near as we can learn, a cross between the Morus Nigra or black mulberry, and the native Russian variety. The tree crows very large, frequently reaching a height of fifty feet. The timber is hard and dur able, and the fence posts made from it have the lasting qualities of catalpa or red cedar. A part of the tro s have beautiful cut leaves, and some of them have as many as twelve lobes. Some of the trees were shipped to James Vick last autumn, who speaks of the beauty of the leaves in the Floral Guide for 1881. Tho bark is grayish white, branches drooping. The Russians also use it as a hedge plant, and it stands shearing as well as any tree on the list. It also grows readily from cuttings as cotton-wood or willow. Last-year cut tings made trees from three to five feet in height. The tree is perfectly hardy. Mercury thirty degrees below zero and not even the twigs injured. Fruit Record. Akrienlturul Items. Now is the time to destroy weeds they are growing rapidly, and germinate about as fast as cut down. A piece well cleared this year will show the good ef fect next year. The Agricultural Department esti mates that four per cent, of the acreage of Texas can produce enough cotton to supply the whole world. There are few farmers who are thor ough cultivators of all crops. They give the best attention to those for which they have a preference. They have black peaches in Japan. When cut the flesh is a reddish brown. The flavor is excellent. Mr. Joe Beasley, an experimental gardner near Columbus, Georgia, has succeeded in raising some melons with a delicious lemon flavor. He makes an incision in the vine a short distance from the root, to which he attaches a lemon, and by means of absorption the juice is taken into the melons. To Destroy Hugs. To destroy bugs on squash and cu cumber vines dissolve a tablespoonf ul of saltpeter in a pailful of water, put a pint of this around each hill, shaping the earth so that it will not spread much, and the thing is done. The more saltpeter the better for vegetables, but the surer death to animal life. The bugs burrow iu the earth at night, but fail to rise in the morning. No danger of killing any vegetables with it ; a con centrated solution applied to beans make them grow wonderfully. Ky Live Stock Rec, Coloring Batter. Mr. Hawley, of the Onondaga County (N. Y.) Farmers' Club, finds that Indian meal fed to a Jersey cow will give both the color and aroma of grass butter. Buckwheat bran and oil meal both would make tho color white. Mr. Ter ry said it was absolutely necessary to butter in the market that customers would take; they wanted colored but ter, and it must be colored or the dairy man would tako tho consequences. If tho market says color, you must color by artificial means or by feeding. Mr. Overacre urged tho farmers to adopt the method of natural coloring. First se lect good cows then feed them well, and you will get good colored butter. A Life and Death Struggle Tvilli a Grizzly. A prospector by the name of H. A. Johnson came down from the mountains on yesterday morning's stage. From the crown of his head, to the soles of his feet ho was the worst'patched up and " bent " prospector we have looked upon for many a day ; in fact, he was but the wreck of his former self. A News re porter interviewed him and learned that since he left Bellevuo he had visited a great deal of the country north and was prospecting on the Middle Fork of Sal mon river. Lato last week he started out mining with his prospecting tools, his partner going in another way, and fell in with a fellow from Bonanza or Challis, who called himself Barber, or a similar name. They were passing through a littte park when a monster grizzly bear was seen a short distance off. Barber recommended that John son take a shot with his Rem- iugton rifle. Johnson jumped from his lorse and with a rest over his knees turned loose. The grizzly caught it and started for the party, when Barber straddled Johnson's horse as quick as a flash and darted away. Johnson shouted his protest, but he had no time to fool away, and kept upon his knee, pumping shots into the advancing griz zly at a lightning-striking rate ; in fact, the grizzly got five shots into his car cass one between tne eyes and one through his heart and still he kept coming. When the bear was about twenty-five feet off Johnson gave up experimenting and dashed for a tree. He sprang high, but the bear caught him by his left hip, tearing away clothing and flesh and bringing Johnson down to the grass. As he fell the bear caught him by the scalp, tearing the whole business loose from near his forehead to the back of he crown. With his right hand John son fastened to the beast's nostrils and hung there for a moment, but he was getting weak, and soon lost his hold. By this time the bear's eyes were get ting glassy, but when Johnson at tempted to move from him he was roused to three severe attacks, once catching Johnson in the left shoulder ; next iu the left forearm, breaking both bones, and again above the elbow of the left arm, causing a serious flesh wound. That was the last nip of Mr. Grizzly, and he rolled over dead upon Johnson's gun. Now was the pluck of the hunter tried. His left arm and leg were lac erated and bleeding ; his shoulder was bare and torn open ; his left aim was broken in two places and seriously ripped open in another ; his right hand was split by a tooth of the savage beast, and his scalp was hangingdown on his shoulders, and he was alone. He had about two miles to walk to his camp, and then to find his partner away, in all probability. He was getting dizzy, but roused and went to camp ; splintered his arm, put snow about it. and started for Bellevue, accompanied by his part ner. Johnson is now under the care of Dr. Thiele. and owing to his remarkable care for himself in all the days of travel between here and Middle Fork, the doc tor predicts a speedy recovery. From the scene of the fight to Bellevue it cannot be less than 170 miles, and this had to be traveled over by the wounded man on horseback. Middle Fork affords not at all a health? climate for Mr. Barber, and at the rate he was travelling when last seen, no bear will ever catch him. The bear would weigh about 900 pounds, but Johnson carries the beast's scalp in his pocket to-day. Wood River Ore.) News. A Wonderful Lake. The Bodie (Cal.) Free Press publishes the following description of Mono lake, a remarkable body of water : Notwithstanding the steady influx of five large fresh water creeks and innu merable small streams, its bitter but pellucid waters continue to give a sedi mentary analysis of forty-five parts soda, forty parts salt and fifteen parts borax and lime ; that the lake is twenty-nine by nineteen miles.in diameter, and more than 200 feet deep in places ; that it con tains two large and several small tufa islands, the first in magnitude having an area of 2,200 acres and the second 1,500 acres; that upon the second island is the crater of a volcano that was in ac tive eruption as late as 1858, that upon the larger island and out 100 feet .from it, in seventy feet depth of water, are boiling springs of asphalt, and that no living thing exists in the waters of the lake except the Piute shrimp, a pink eyed worm which attains a length of about three-fourths of an inch. The valley, commonly called a desert. surrounding the lake is about thirty by fifty miles in diameter, and has at some not remote period of the past been wholly submerged by mineral waters similar to those which now occupy the deep portion of the basin, as the water mark along the western wall is nearly 1,000 feet above the present surface of , the lake.

Jay Gould controls 7,000 miles of rail road, valued at $140,000,000, but any athletic schoolboy in the land can throw him down, and give him underhold at that. The Chicago News thinks that the reason women never die of lockjaw is, "That they never give the disease a chance to catch on." Wonder, now, if that is it ? "Chinese barbers shave without ather." This reminds us that our old schoolmaster used to lather without shaving. One is said to be as painful an operation as the other.

A poultice of fresh tea leaves, mois tened with water, will cure a sty on the eyelid. For earache, dissolve assafcetida in water ; warm a few drops and drop in the ear, then cork the ear with wool. The true physiological way of treating burns and scalds, is to at once exclude the air with cotton batting, flour scraped potato, or anything that is han diest. Refined benzine will dissolve the dis agreeable odorous oily substance which is secreted in some people's skin, after which plenty of soap and water will remove it. This persevered in will make the skin inodorous. To cure buuions, use pulverized salt peter and sweet oil. Obtain at a drug gist's live or six cents' worth of saltpe tre ; put into a bottle with sufficient olive oil to dissolve it, shake up well, and rub the inflamed joints night and morning, and more frequently if pain ful. The following drink for relieving sickness of the stomach is said to be very palatable and agreeable : Beat up one egg very well, say for twenty min utes, then add fresh milk one pint, wa ter one pint, sugar to make it palatable ; boil and get it cool ; drink when cold. If it becomes curds and whey it is tuse less. Dr. F. P. Atkinson believes that jout may be prevented in this way and the prevention of this troublesome and often dangerous disease is far more easy than its cure. His method of arresting a tendency to gout consists in : (1.) Lim iting the quantity of nitrogenous food ; (2.) Taking regularly a certain amount of out-of-door exercise, in order to help the proper tissue changes being carried out. (3.) Avoidance of lato hours and everything which is likely to unduly excite or depress the nervous system. (4.) Keeping up the action of the skin by warm clothing and the occasional use of Turkish baths iu short, it con sists in living as far as possible a nat ural life. Taken In. Uncle Pleasant Batkins, of Richmond, Va., is sixty and his wife seventy-two years old. The other day a friend said : " Uncle Pleasant, why in the mischief did you marrv a woman nearly old enough to be your mother?" And this is the way he explained it : "You see' boy," he replied with a sigh, "I was wurkin' for Long John Freeman in Hanover, when I was jest 18, and Susan Ann Russ, old Mrs. Russ's oldest daugh ter, was thirty if she wur a day. At every quiltin' she used to chuse me foi her partner, and everybody said it 'peared like she wur a courtin me. Sht gimme four pair cotton socks and a heap of things, but still I didn't have no no tion of her. Well, one Christmas eve. went to the old woman's, and had hardly sot down before Sary Ann brought me some sweet pertato pie, which she knowed I was monstrous fond of. While I was eatin' it I heard the old woman up stairs a countin' silver dollars. Now, thar was no plaster to the sealin, and tho up stairs floor had cracks in it as wide as my finger. So you see I could hear the jingle of the money just as well as if I had been up thar myself. When she had counted 906 I drawed up to Sary Ann and pop- pea tne question. In course she said she'd have me, and the next Thursday we was married. Now, what do you think I found out the next day ? Why, mat tne oia woman didn't have but thirty Mexican dollars, and that she counted 'em over and over jest to fool me. Don't marry for money, boy, specially for silver dollars."

A pound of bananas contains more nutriment than three pounds of meat or many pounds of potatoes, while as a food it is in every sense of the word far superior to the best wheaten bread. Al though it grows spontaneously through out the tropics, when cultivated its yield is prodigious, for an acre of ground planted with bananas will return, ac cording to Humboldt, as much food material as thirty-three acres of wheat or over a hundred acres of potatoes. The banana, then, is the bread of mil lions who could not well subsist with out it. In Brazil it is the principal food of the laboring classes, while it is no less prized in the island of Cuba. In deed, in the latter country the sugar planters grow orchards of it expressly for the consumption of their slaves. Every day each hand receives his ration of salt fish or dried beef, as the case may be, and four bananas and two plantains. The benana it should be called plantain, for until lately there was no such word as banana is divided into several varieties, all of which are used for food. The platino mauzadito is a bmall delicate fruit, neither longer nor stourter than a lady's forefinger. It is tho most delicious and prized of all the varieties of the plantin. 1 platino guineo, called by us the banana, is pro bably more in demsnd than any other kind. It is sub-divided into different varieties, the principal of which are the yellow and purple bananas we see for sale in our market ; but the latter is so little esteemed by the natives of the tropics that it is seldom eaten by them. El platino known to us simply the plantain is also sub-divided into vari eties which are known by their savor and their size. The kind that reaches our market is almost ten inches long, yet on the isthmus of Darien there are plantains that grow from eighteen to twenty-two inches. They are never eaten raw, but are either boiled or roasted or are prepared as preserves. As our beloved southland becomes more densely populated the problem of "how tho people are to be fed" will gradually assume more serious proportions. Meat is becoming dearer and dearer, nor is it at all improbable that the time is not very far distaut when it will not be as often seen on the tables of our poor as it is to-day. Nt tc Orleans Democrat. Why i hildren Die. Commenting upon the great mortality among children, an official of t he Brook lyn health board says: "The fearful mortality is often due to ignorance and carelessness on the part of mothers and nurses as to diet, clothing, and habits of person of the child. Frequently in digestion occurs from the poor quality of milk furnished by the milkman, which from fermentation in the stomach becomes converted into indigestible curds, inducing vomiting, diarrhoea, and other symptoms of summer com plaint. Proper nourishment for the little ones is a prime necessity. Chil dren should never be nursed after vio lent exercise or emotional excitement. Those reared by the bottle or hand can not be too closely watched, and with them the most scrupulous cleanliness should be practiced. Then, again, in digestible food and over feeding should be guarded against, and regularity of diet should be established. Barlev water is the best drink for children in summer. Ice-cold water should be avoided. They should have plenty of out-door exercise, but the intense heat of the sun should bo avoided. Rides on street cars and ferryboats and river excursions are very beneficial to health. The fresh breezes of the bay and river are very refreshing and invigorating, and the air is most healthful. The smiles and good humor of the sick child will repay the poorest for the trouble and trivial expense. The practice of overdressing and tormenting the bodies of children with flannels and heavy wearing apparel in warm weather can not be too vigorously condemned, for it is a prolific source of summer complaint. As long as warm weather prevails the children should be dressed lightly and made comfortable, both in and out of doors. All sudden exposure should be avoided, and the extremities should be kept warm. But above all mothers should practice cleanliness in the care of their children, Water is cheap, and not only keeps the little ones clean, but cooL How the James Boys Operate. Jesse and Frank go into a farming community and become acquainted with the men, and pick out certain ones, af ter a careful study of their character, to join with them in a particular robbery. They carefully broach the subject to them, and if they are willing they egree to give them all the way from $100 to $500 each. They are required to hold the horses and fire off guns and raise a racket while Jesse and Frank, with per haps one or two experienced trusties, do the robbing. Immediately after the completion of the job the farmers are paid the stipulated sum, whether the haul is large or small, and then they ride to their homes, while the James boys strike out to a place cf safety. The men who have been inveigled into the job are never asked to go into a similar undertaking a second time, but they ever afterward remain under the power and fear of the noted robber chieftains, upon whom they dare not squeal, for by so doing they would give themselves away. They always stand ready to pro tect and secrete the James bo a when they are hard pressed. This explains why the James boys have so many friends in Missouri, and why it is so difficult to catch them. It is as hard to find them in Missouri as it would be to find a needle in a haystack. Oma ha Republican, Indignant Postal Clerk. An indignant head clerk in the Balti more postoffice wants the newspapers to convey to the public his emphatic protest againt the latest popular mania con fined as yet to sentimental writers of billet doux namely, the sticking of postage stamps upon unusual and out-of-the-way parts of envelopes. There is, it seems, a " postage-stamp code of flirtation, and each position of a stamp expresses some particular sentiment. Now the law allows the stamp to be put anywhere on the envelope the sender may please. But its position is a matter of importance to the cancelling clerks. " As long," says the Baltimore official "as the stamps are in the ortho dox place the upper right hand corner they can work away like bees, and get through quickly, because the motion from the ink-ptd to the envelope is a continuous one ; but just as soon as they have to hunt around over the letter to find where the stamp is wafered, why, they can't get along near so fast.
