IMPORTANCE OF CHKISTIANITI
IN THE HOME.
(Preached at Grimsby, Canada.)
Text: "Entreat me not to leave thee, or to
return from following after thee : for whither
them goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest,
I will lodge: thy people shall be my people,
and thy God my God; where thou digat, will
I die, and there will I be buried; the ixrd do
so to me, and more also, if aught bat death
part thee and me. Ruth L, 10 and 17. -
Famine in Judah. Upon fields dlstin-
the door of princely a bod en want knocked.
Turning his back upon bis house and his
lands, limeecb took his wife, Naomi and
his two sons and started for the land of
Moab in search of bread. Getting into
Moab, his two sons married idolaters Rath
the name of one, Orpah the name ' of the
other. Great calamities came upon that
household. Elimelech died and his two sons,
leaving K aomi, the wife, and the two daughters-in-law.
I'oor Naomi! in a strange land
and her husband and two sons dead. She
must go back to J udah. She cannot stand it
in a place where everything reminded her of
her sorrow. Just as. now, sometimes pu
see persons moving from one house to anoth
er, or from one city to another, and you can
not understand it until yon find out that it is
because there were associations with a cer
tain place that they could no longer bear.
Naomi must ttart for the land of Judah: but
how Khali she get there I Between Moab and
the place where the" would like to go there
are deserts ; there are wild beasts ranging the
wilderness; there are savages going up and
down, and there is ths awful Dead Sea.
Well, you say, she came over the road once,
she can do s-o again- Ah ! wben she came
over the road before she bad the strong arms
of her husband and her two sons to defend
her; now. tiny are all gone. The hour of
parting has come, and Naomi must be sepa
rated from her two daughters-in-law. Ruth
and Orpah. Tbey were tenderly attached,
tbee three mourners. Tney had bent over j
the same trick bed; they had moved in thej
Bame lunerai prucusaiuu, iuey uau wept
over the . same grave. There the three
mourners btand talking. Naomi thinks
of the time when she left Ja
dah, with a prince for her companion.
Then they all think of the marriage festivals
wben Naomi's two sons were united to these
women, who have now exchanged the wreath
pi the bride for the veil of the mourner.
Naomi starts for the land of Judah, and Ruth
and Orpah resolve to go a little way along
with her. They have gona but a short dis
tance when Naomi turns around and says to
her daughters-in-law: "Go back. There
may be days of brightness yet for you In
your native land. 1 can't bear to take yon
away from your home and the homes of your
kindred. I am old and troubled. Go not
along with me. The Lord deal gently with
you as ye have dealt with the dead and with
me." But they persisted in going, and so the
three traveled ou until after awhile Naomi
turns around again and begs them to go back.
Orpah takes the suggestion, and after a sad
parting gee away; but Rnth, grand and
glorious Ruth, turns her back upon her home.
She says: "i can't bear to let that old mother
go alone. It is my duty to go with her."
And throwing her arms around weeping Na
omi, she pours out her soul in the tenderness
aou patuoa aim wnrisiian eloquence or my
text: "Entreat me not to leave thee, or to
return from following after thee : for hither
thou goest, I wiil go ; and whither thou lodg
est, I will lodge ; thy people shall be my peo
ple, and thy God my Geo; whtfre thou diest
I will die, and there will I be buried; the
Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught
but death part thee and me."
Five choices made Ruth in that text, and
five choices must we all make, if we ever
want to get to heaven.
I. In the first place,- if we want to become
Christians, we must, like Ruth in the text,
choose the Christian's God. Beautiful Ruth
looked up into the wrinkled face of Naomi
and said: "Thy God shall be my God." You
see it was a change of gods. Naomi's God
was uenovan; rutin s ooa was Uhemosb, the
divinity of the Moabites,whom she had wor
shiped "under the symbol of a black star.
Now she comes out from that black-starred
divinity, and takes the Lord in whom there
is no darkness at all ; the silver-starred divin
ity to whom the met?or pointed down in
Bethlehem, the sunshiny God, of whom the
psalmist wrote: "The Lord God is a
sun." And bo, my friends, if we want
to become Christians, we must change
gods.f " This world is the Chemosh to
most people. It is a black-starred god. It
can heal no wounds. It can wipe away no
sorrows. It can pay no debts, it can savo
no undying soul. It is a great cheat, so
many thousand miles in diameter and so
many thousand miles in circumference. If
I should put this audience under oath, one
half of them would swear that this world is
a Liar. It is a bank whirh mnlrns lnrcra a A uat.
tisement of what it has iu the vaults and of
the dividends tbat it declares, and tells us
that if we want happiness, all we have got
to do i3 to come to that Lank and apoly for
it. In the hour of need, we go to that bank
; to get happiness, and wo find that the vaults
are empty, and . all reliabilities have ab
sconded and' we are swindled out of every
thing. O thou black-starred Chemosh, how
many are burning incense at thy shrine!
Now, Ruth turned away from this god
Chemosh, and she took Naomi's God. Who
was that? The God that mode the world and
Eutyouinit. The God that fashioned the
eaven and filled it with blissful inhabitants.
The God whose lifetime study it has been to
make you and all his creatures happy. The
God who watche 1 us in childhood, ami led us
through the gauntlet of infantile distresses,
feeding us when we were hungrv, rdllowine
us when we were somnolent, and sending his
only bon to wash away our pollution with
the tears and blood or his owqs eye
nd heart, and offering to be, our
everlasting rest, comfort, aud eo
ttasy. A loving God. A sympathetic
God. A great-hearted God, An all-encom-pas-iing
God. A God who flings himself on
this world in a very abandonment of ever
lasting affection. The clouds, the veil of his
face. The sea, the aquarium of hi palace.
The stars, the dew-drops on his lawu. The
God of Hannah's prayer and Esther's conse
: ration, and Mary's brokon heart, and Ruth's
loving and bereft spirit. Oh, choose ye be
tween Chemosh and Jehovah ! The one ser
vice is pain and disappointment ; the ol h r ser
vice is brightness and life. I have-trie 1 both.
I chose the service of God because I was
tshamed to do otherwise. I felt it would be
Imbecile for me to choose Chemosh above
Jehovah.
"Oh, happy day that fixed my choioe
Oh Thee, my Saviour, and my God I
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its rapture all abroad.
x
"Oh, happy bond tbat seals my vows
To Him who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill His house,
While to His e acred throne I mo ve.
"High heaven, that heard the solemn vow,
That vow renewed shall daily hear;
Till in life's latest hour I bow,
And bless in death a bond so dear."
II. Again, if we want to be Christians
5ke Ruth in the text, we must take the
Dhrist au's path. "Where thpu goest I wiil
to," cried out the beautiful Jloabitess to
Naomi, the mother-in-law. Dangerous promt
ise that There wore des?rts to be crossed. '
There were ja-kals that came down through
the wilderness. There were bandits. There
was the Dead sea. Naomi tays: "Ruth, you
must go ba:k. You are too delicate to take
this journey. You M ill give out in the first
five miles. You cannot go. You have not
the physical stamina or the moral courage to
go with me." Ruth responds: "Mother, I
m going anyhow. If I stay in this land I
will be overborne of the idolaters ; if I go
along with you, I shall serve God. Give me
that bundle. Let me carry it. I am going
with you, mother, anyhow."
And if we want to serve God we must do
as Ruth did, crying out: "Where thou goest,
I will go." Never mind the Dead Sea. Afoot
cr horseback. If there be rivers to ford, we
must ford them. If there be mountains to
scale, we must scale the J3. If there be ene
mies to nght,we must tight thorn. It requires
grit and pluck to get from Moab to Judah. Oh,
how many Christian there are who can be
diverted from the path by a quiver of the lip
indicative of scorn. They do not surrender to
temptation, but they bend to it And if in a
company there be those who tell unclean
stories, they will go so far as to tell some
thing on the margin between the pure and
the impure. And if there be those who
cwear in the room and use the rough word
damn," they will go so far as the word
Vara," and look over the fence wishing they
rould go farther; but as to any determina
tion, like Ruth's, to go the whole road of all
that is right, they have not the grace to do it
They have not in all their body as much
courage as Ruth had iu her little finger.
Oh, my friends, let us start for heaven and
So clear through! In the river that runs by
ie gate of the city we shall wash, off all oui
bruises. When Dr. Chalmers printed his
astronomical discourses, they were read in
the haylofts, in the fields, in the garrets, and
In the palaces, because they advocated the
idea that the stars were inhabited. Oh,
hearer! does not your soul thrill with the
thought that there is another world beauti
fally inhabited! Nay, more, that you by the
grace of God may become one of its gloriouf
citizens? !'"'-':.:-, ... -
IIL Again I remark, if we want to become
Christians, like Ruth m the text, we must
choose the Christian habitation. "Where
thou lodgest, will I lodge," cried Ruth to
Naomi, she knew that wherever Naomi
stopped, whether it were hovel or mansion,
there would be a Christian home, and she
ymn.Tt.ttiA tn Ha in if. What- J T i i
. . v" uiaa uy a
Christian home? I mean a home in which th j
Bible Is the chief book: a home in which
family kneel in prayer; Jioni-1aL which
father and mother are practical Christians: a
home In whichon Babbath, from sunrise to
sunset, there is profitable converse and cheer
ful song and suggestions of a better world.
Whether the wad be frescoed or not. or only
a ceiling of enplaned rafters; whether mar
ble lions are couchant at the front entrance,
or a plain latch is lifted by a tow-string, that
home is the ante-chamber of hear en, A-matt
never gets over having lived in such a home
It holds yon in an eternal grip. - Though
your parents may have been gone forty
years, the tears of penitence and gladness
that were wept at the family altar still glit
ter in your memory. Nay, do yoa not now
feel hot and warm on your hands, the tears
which that mother shed thirty years ago.
when, one cold winter sight, she came and
wrapped yoa up in the bed and prayed for
your welfare here and for your everlasting
welfare before the throne f
O ye who are to set up your own home, set
that it be a Christian home! Let Jesus maki
the wine at that wedding. A home without
God is an awful place, there are so many
perils to threateirTt, and God himself 'is sc
bitterly against it; but "the Lord encampeth

the wife and mother be a Christian. I sav to
J - . F ,r xit-l

Glory
you it is-iusc as important wuai uo u
band and father be a Christian. Yet
how many clever men there are who say:
"My wife doei all the religion of my noose.
I am a worldly man ; but leave confidence in
her, and I think she will bring the whole fam
ily up all right" It wilj not do, my brother.
The fact that you are not a Christian has
more influence on you.' family than the fact
that your wife is a Christian. Your children,
will say: "Father's a very good man; he Is
tot a. Christian, and if he can risk the future,
I can risk the future." O father and husband I
join your wife on the road to heaven, and at
light gather your family at the altar. Do yon
lay : "i cant pray. I am a man of few words
tnd I don't think I could put half a dozen
lentences together in such a prayer." Yoa
an pray : yon can. If your child were down
with scarlet fever, and the next hour were to
lecide iti recovery or its death, yoa would
pray in sobs and groans and paroxysms of
rnestness. Ye 3, you can pray. When the
tternal life of your household may depend
lpon your supplication, let your knees limber
ind go down, out, if yon still insist that yoa
annot compose a prayer, then buy or bor
row a prayer book of the Episcopal church,
ind gather your family, and put your prayer
3ook on a chair and kneel down before it,
ind in the solemn and h tuned presence of
3od gather up all your sorrows and tempta
tions and sins, aad cry out: "Good Lord, de
iver us."
IV. Again I remark: If we want to be
some Christians, like Ruth in the text, we
xiust choose Christian associations. "Thy
aeople shall be my people," cried out Ruth to
Naomi. "The folks you associate with I
want to associate with. They will come and
we me, and I will go and see them. I want
to move in the highest of all circles, the circle
of God's elect; and therefore, mother, I am
going back with you to the land of Judah."
Do you who are seeking after God and I
suppose there are many such in this, pres
encedo you who. are seeking after
God prefer Christian society to
worldly society? "No," you say,
"I prefer the world's mirth, and the
world's laughter, and the world's innuendo,
aud the world's paraphernalia." Well, this
is a free country, and you shall have the
right of choice; "but let me tell you that the
purest mirth, and the most untrammeled
glee, and the greatest resilience of soul are in
side Christian companionship, aud not out
side of it. I have tried both styles of com
panionship the companionship of the world
aud the companionship of Christ, and I know
by experience. 1 have been now so long in
the sunshiny experience and society of
Christian people, that when I am compelled
to go for a little while amid intense worldly
society I feel depressed. It is like going out
of a June garden into an icehouse. Men
never know fully how to laugh until they
become Christians. Th9 world's laughter
has a jerk of dissatisfaction at the end; but
when a man is consecrated to God, and he is
all right for the world to come, then when he
laughs, body, mind and soul crackle.' Let a
group of ministers of th3 gospel, gathered
from all denominations of Christian', be to
gether in a dining hall, or in a social circle,
and you know they are proverbially jocuud,
O, ye unconverted people! I know not how
you can stand it down in that moping, bil
ious, saturnine, worldly association. Come
up iuto the sunlight of Christian society
those people for whom all thingsare working
right now,and will work right forever. I tell
you that the sweetest japonicas grow in the
Lord's garden; that the largest grapes are
from the vineyards of Canaan ; that the most
sparkling floods break forth from the Rock
of Ages. Do not too much pity this Ruth of
my text, for she is going to' become joint
owner of the great harvest fields of Boaz.
V. Once more: If, we want to become
Christians, we must, like Ruth in the text,
choose the Christian's death and burial. She
exclaimed: "Where thou diest will I die, aud
there will I be buried. ' I think we all, when
leaving this world, would like to be sur
rounded by Christian influences. You would
not like to have your dying pillow surrounded
by caricaturists and punsters and wine
bibbers. How would you like to have
John Leech come with his London pic
torials and Christopher North with his
loose fun, and Tom Hood with his rhyming
jokes, when you are dying? No! No! No!
Let me have a Christian nurse in my last
sickness. Let me have a Christian physician
to administer the medicine. Let it- be a
Christian wife, or parent, or child, thai
watches the going out of the tides of my
mortal existence. Let Christian men come
into the room and read of the illuminated
valley and the extinguishment of grief, and
drown the hoarse blasts of death with the
strains of "Mt Pisgah" and "St Martin."
In our last moment we will all be children.
Said Dr. Guthrie, the famous Scotch lergy
man, when dyiug: "Sing me a bairn's hymn."
Yes, we will all be children then. In that
hour the world will stand confounded around
us. Our friends may cry over us; tears-will
not help us. They may look sad ; what we
want is radiation in the last moment--thinking
it will help them die. In oni
last moment we wa"t that bread which
came down from Heaven. -Who will
give it to us ? Ob, we want Chris
tian people in the room, bo that
if our hope begins to struggle they may say:
"Courage, brother! all is well! Courage!"
In tbat expiring moment I want to hear the
old songs we u?ed to sine in church and
prayer meeLinrrs. Iu that last moment 1 want
to hear the votce of some Christian friend
pleading that the sins and shortcomings of
my life may be forgiven, and the doors of
heaven may be opened before my entranced
spirit
"Come sing to me of heaven,
When fm about to die:
Sing songs of holy ecstasy,
io wait my soul on high."
Christian people on either side of the
Ye
bed, and tho Christian people at the foot of the
bed, and Christian people to close my eyes,
and Christian people to carry me out, and
Christian people t j look after those whom I
leave behind, and Christian people to re
member me a littla while after I am gone.
"Where thou" diest, will I die, and there will
I be buried."
Sometimes, an epitaph covers up more than
It expresses. Walking through Greenwood
Cemetery I have sometimes seen an inscrip
tion which impressed me ' how hard the
Bcuiptor and friends were trying to make out
a good story in stone. I 6aw from the in
scription that the man or woman buried there
t i died without hope. The inscription told
me the man was a member of Congress, or m
bank President, or some prominent citizen,
but said nothing about his soul's des
tiny. The body is nothing. The soul!
Tha soul! And here by this inscription
I see that this man was born in 1800 and died
in 1675. Seventy-five years on earth, and no
Christian hope ! Ch, if in all the cemeteries
of your city the graves of those who have
gone out of this world unprepared should
sigh on the wind, who would have the nerve
to drive through such a pla?e -If all those
who have gone out of this world unprepared
could come back to-day and float through
the airmailing the story of their discomfiture,
this audience would fall flat on its face, ask
ing to be rescued from the avalanche of hor
ror. . - - .
My hearers, do yoa wonder that this Ruth
of my text made the Cnristian's choice and
closed it with the ancient form of imprecation
upon her own soul, if she ever forsook Naomi :
"The Lord do eo to me, and mora also, if
aught but death part thee and me." They
wure to live together. Come the jackals,
come the bandits, roll on Dead Seal My
hearers, would you not like to be with your
Christian friends forever? Have there not
gone out persons from your household whom
you would like to spend eternity with! They
were mild, and loving, and gentle, and beau
tiful, while here. You have no idea tjhat the
joys of heaven have made them 4 worse.
Choose their Christ, and you may have their
heaven. They went in washed through
the blood of the Lamb, and you must have
the same glorious, ablution. With holy
violence I put my hands on you to-day,
to push you on toward the. immediate
choice of this only Saviour. Have himyou
must, or perish world without end. faect
this moment as the one of contrition and '
transport Oh, give one intense, earnest, be
lieving, loving gaze int- the -wounds opened
for your eternal ralvatdou!

LEE'S SURRENDER.
RECEPTION OP THE NEWS BY A
CONFEDERATE DIVISION.""
The Fateful Dispatch Received by
General Echols Officer and
Men Discussing: the
Situation.
We had reached Christian sbarg late in
the evening on the lCth of April, says
General Duke, in the Smthern Biwune;
The command htd halted for th? night,
and the troops were about to go into
camp, but the column was still closing
up, and the larger part of it was on the
road. I remember that General iEcbols
and I frere dismounted aad standing
upon the turnpike surrounded by the
gjldlers.. Wc were talk:nsj about some
ordinary matter to which I had called his
attention. Justf then L'eotenant Clay
galloped up and asked whero he could
find the General. General Echol3 indi
cated his presence, and Clay.spproachcd
and silently handed him a dispatch.
General Echols opcncl and rsad it. I
instantly perceived that it contained mo
mentous and disastrous news. Hi3 fare
became intensely flushed, and then grew
deathly p i'e. He quietly requested me
to follow him out of the throng. I did
60, and when we were a few paces away
he read mc the distv,teh, which was from
General Lonax,' and in these words:
"General Lee surrendtrc 1 this morning
at or neir Appomattox Court House. I
am trying with my own divisi n and the
remnants of Fitz Lee's a Rosser's divi
sions to arrange to make a junction with
you.'v
Although prepared to hear of disaster.
Iliad not expected anything so dreadful
as this, and the announcement almost
stunned me. I can never forget the feel
ing of utter dismay and despair with
which I besirJ it, or the impression itpro
duced upon the troops when the infor
mation reached them.
Gen. Echo's had not intended to im
mediately divu'ga it. After a brief con
ference we agrted tbat the news should
be concealed, if possible, from the m n
until the next day, and communicated
that night only to the brigade and regi
mental commanders. We hoped that
some plan might be devised which would
enable U5 to hold the troops together urt
til we could learn what policy would be
pursued by Mr. Davis, and whether it
would be our duty to endeavor to join
Gen. Jclmston. But to conceal such a
fact when even one man was aware of it
was impossible. Before we had con
cluded our brief conversation, we knew
from the hum andstir in the anxious,
dark-browed crowds nearest us, the rest
less oscillation of the long column as the
whisper flew along it, the excitement
which soon grew almost to a tumult, that
the terrible tidings had gotten abroad.
That niiht no man slept. Strangely as
the declaration may now sound, there wai
not one of the six or seven thousand then
gathered at Christiansburg who had en
tertained the slightest thought that such
an event, could happ n, and doubtless
that feeling pervaded tbc ranks of the
Confederacy.
We knew that Richmond had fallen.
We knew that the heroic army which
had so long defended Richmond was m
retreat. We knew that it would be
nomadic, that its operations could no
longer be conducted upon the methods
which support regular warfare, and that
everything necea jary to maintain its effi
ciency wa3 lost. Wc could hazard no
conjecture in to what would be done;
yet, that the army of Northern Virginia
with Lee at its head would ever sur
render had never entered our minds.
Therefor. the indescribable consterna
tion and amazement which fpread like a
conflagration through the ranks when
the thing was told, can scarcely be im
pgintd by one who has not had similar
experience.
To all who read this save tho-c who
phared the c.itiment it may seem in
credible that' the Southern people and
soldiery can have really felt, the blow so
keenly. I will ask such skeptics to im
agine the impression that would be pro
duced up in them by the conviction that
this country had been suddenly subju
gated by some foreigu power, and it was
about to be overrun and perma
nently o:cupiel by its annici and
governed by its agents. The South
expected in defeat to bi reduced tc
just suc'.i a conditio!. General Let
and his army had been so identified in
our minds with the Confederate caust
that to lo3c them was like taking the
heart from the body.
During all that night officers and men
were congregated in groups and crowds
discussing the new?, and it was curious
to observe how the training and disci
pline of veteran soldiers were mauifosted
even amid a 1 this deep feeliag and ex
citement. There was not one act of vio
lence, not a harsh or iusnlting word
spoken; the officers were treated with
the same respect which they had previ
ously received, and although many of
the infantry who lived in that part of
Virginia rent off that night without
leave and returned to their homes, none
who remained were insubordinate or
failed to o';ey orders w'th alacrity.
Groat fire3, larger and more numerous
than ordinal y camp-fires, were lighted
and kept burning. Eery group had its
orators, who, succeeding each other,
spoke continuously. Tho mea rushed
rom one crowd to another, hundreds
sometimes collecting about a peculiarly
fervid speaker. Every conceivable sug
gestion was ofle. ed. Some advocated a
guerrilla warfare ; some proposrd march
ing to the trans-Mississippi, and thence
to Mexico. The more practical and rea
sonable, of coarse proposed that an effort
to join General Johnston should iramedi
dately be made. 3Iany, doubtless,
thought of surrender, but I do not re
member to have heard it mentioned.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
.. Exterminate tho Weeds.
The weeds at the sides of cultivated
fields, if there are any, and those along
the hedge-rows, should be cut this month,
onat any other time when they are large
enough. Cat them down on a damp day,
or when wet with rain, and gather thern
into heaos where they can be burned
when dry enough- This process will
destroy the ' greater part of the seeds in
them and save, much' labor in killing
weeds in future years. It is poor econ
omy to use weeds for bedding, or to put
them' in the yards. Certainly they are
worth something when converted into
manure, but ths weeds which will spring
up where such manure is used will ,take
more value from the manure than they
will give it. The farmer's motto should
be: "Let no weed ripen its seed;" but
while it would not be easy to follow out
that principle literally, it is comparative
ly easy to greatly reduce the number,
and a half-doen years of careful culti
vation will get a field to a tolerably
clean condition where no weed seeds are
carried out in the manure. Ani It is
equally true that one year of ceglect
will make another half-dozen years of
hard hoeing. ; Cultivator.
Importance of Good Breeds.
It may be safely claimed that a good
animal requires no more room in the
stable than will one that is inferior, and
therefore a saving of labor is effected in
lessening the cost of care and attention,
it being as easy to manage the superior an
imal as it is to give the labor to the other.
But the saving in the shelter, room, and
labor i3 not the only item. As only the
most approved machinery is used by man
ufacturers in order to enable them to pro
ducegoods at the lowest cost and compete
in markets with each other, so should the
farmer take advantage of his opportuni
ties with pure-bred stock, and lessen the
cost by increasing the amount of pro
duct. I
As the manufacturer can adopt the kind
of machines most suitable, so may the
farmer select the kind of stock for his
special purpose. While on many farms
no regard is given the breeding or char
acteristics of the animals used, yet the
farmer ha3 it in his power to use cattle
that excel in butter, beef or milk, and as
some breeds combine several good qual
ities, his advantages are not limited.
There is no necessity for devoting a stall
to a cow that yields only ten quarts of
milk per day when, by judicious breed
ing, the product may be doubled. We
can point to special cows that have
yielded over forty quarts of milk per
day,' and cows are numerous that pro
duce over twenty pounds of butter per
week. Steers have been known to gain
three pounds weight daily, rams have
sheared over thirty pounds of wool, and
mutton sheep have, attained 400 pounds
live weight in two years, while the hog
seems to have an easy time gaining a
pound daily for twelve months.
It is not supposed that every- farmer
will be so fortunate as to possess animals
of extraordinary merit, but as long as
such excellence exists the farmer should
,be encouraged to strive always for some
thing better. There is no middle ground
in keeping stoclc. There must either be
an improvement ot a retrogression. The
farmer who does not have some object
in view will soon or late be compelled
to dispose of his stock as unprofitable,
as the difference in profit and loss is in
the animals and their management.
The cost of improvement is, fortu
nately, but a small sum compared with
the benefits derived, as nature has en
dowed the males with the capacity of
begetting a large progeny. And as ex
periments have demonstrated that the
characteristics of a breed may be trans
mitted through the male line it becomes
Vut a matter of a few seasons when au
entire herd or flock may be changed. I
one will but calculate the additional
value imparted to the stock by only a
6ingle cross it will readily be perceived
that the services performed by the male
more than balances his cost the first sea
son, and as he may be useful for several
years it is not only cos"tless and econom
ical to improve, but very profitable, as
stock that formerly did not repay their
cost may, by a change to grade?', add so
largely to milk, beef or bu-tter as to make
it an object to still further improve. The
performance of celebrated animals show
what can be done, and every farmer
should aim to improve his stock to what-;
ever f o nt others have reached. Chicago

Recipes.
Applf Soup. Peel and quarter one
pound of good cooking apples, put them
into three pints of medium stock made
from bones and trimming3 of meat, etc. ;
season with three cloves, cayenne to
taste,' a little white pepper; stew gently
for half an hour, rub through a strainer,
and add a little more pepper and a little
salt ; boil up and serve.
BotLKD Lettuce. If the lettuce is not
delicate enough for salad, cut iMn pieces
and boil it soft in water slightly salted ;
when cooked, drain every drop of water
from the leaves. Put some flour in a
pan with some butter on the fire, and let
it cook until it is yellow ; turn the lettuce
in it, and let it boil once or twice.' Pour
some stock over the lettuce ; let it boil
once again, and just before serving pour
ia a little cream. A little nutmeg is
sometimes liked.
To Make a Tough Fowl .TrarDER.
The French have a way of making a
tough fowl tender in ,the roasting which
is worth following. It should be sea
soned and tied up securely in two thick
nessess of soft white or pale brown paper
and put into the oven a half an hour
earlier than the time one would choose
to assure its being done. It will steam
slowly in this way, and if delicately
dredged with flour when the paper is
taken off at the end of the half-hour in a
hot oven, it will come out brown and
easily carved.
Cooking Squashes Cut three, sum
mer squashes in quarters and put them
in boiling water slightly salted, enough
to cover them) boil gently for forty-five
minutes. After putting the squashes in
the water add one sprig ot parsley, four
pepper corns, two cloves and a minced
onion. When tho squashes are cooked
pass them through a sieve and put them
on the back of the range to keep warm.
Mix one tcaspoonful of flour in., a little
milk, add two cups of boiling milk, mix
with the squash and serve with crou

THE TERRAPIN.
EDIBLE REPTILE BELOVED
; BY THE EPICURE.
A Maryland Member of Conjrreaa the
First Terrapin Eater How 1
the Terrapin la Turned
Into Food.
Th'e turtle's immediate relatives are the
land tortoise and the terrapin. The tor
toise was highly respected by the an
cients, and is mentioned by Pliny the
younger as a reptile "of calm and im
posing demeanor, and wise, inasmuch as
he avoideth haste. n
The identity of a man who first ate an
oyster. is buried in obscurity. Attempts
have been made by many learned anti
quarians to discover that daring indivi
dual, but in vain. At one time, about
the beginning of this century, a musty
old searcher into the records of the past
declared that a Celtic knight, Sir Mora
Mora Gan, wh 5 was the possessor of a
massive stronghold on the western shores,
wa9 the firit oyster eater, but he failed
dismally in the presence of delegates
from seventeen learned societies to estab
lish his claim to the alleged discovery,
But the names of those who took the
initial plunge in the terrapin business are
well-known and -honored in Maryland,
where the terrapin is, of all things in
animated nature, most honored and
loved. ., Daniel St. George Tenirer, mem
ber of Congress from Maryland, and
afteiwird Minister to Austria, and
John B. Morris, President of the Me
chanic;' Bank of Baltimore, were tho
heroes who ate the first terrapin that civ
ilised man ever ate. Morris died in 1875, at
the age of ninety, and Tenifer was almost
as old when called away from this world,
the giod things of which, chiefly terra
pin, he had heartily enjoyed Mr. Teni
fer argued that if the turtle, whose
habits so closely resembled the terrapin,
was edible, there was no reason why the
terrapin should not be equally good. So
soon as this valuable culinary discovery
W8s announced," all the epicures of Balti
more clamored for terrapin. From 184-5
to 1850 terrapin sold in Baltimore at
from $2 to $3 per dozen. In 1860 they
commanded $25 a doz,en, and after the
war tl:ea dealers asked $30 and $40 a
dozen, and got it, too.
The best terrapin are the diamond
back. These come from the eastern
shores of Chesapeake Bay, and are affec
tionately known as "eastern shore pul
lets." A full-grown specimen is from
nine to ten inches in length. The best
season for eating them is in November,
when tbey are taken by drags from the
mud in which they hibernate. The ex
cellent "quality of these terrapin, which
are much finer than any in this Stats,' is
attributed to the fact that they lie at the
edge of tide water, and are alternately
washed by the fresh and salt water dur
ing the twenty-four hours.
The female terrapin, when? carrying
eggs, as she' does in the winter season, is
the most highly esteemed. :The male
terrapin is set down as a tough fellow,
and no true epicure will have him in his
stew. In the cooking, the intestine,
which, as the reptile is hibernating, are
empty, are cut up with the other por
tions aud are said to impart a very supe
rior flavor. The Baltimoreans differ
from the Californians iu preparing this
delicious dish. They cook their terra
pin altogether without spice, except
pepper and salt, using only butterrolled
in flour to thicken it, and flavor it with
old Madeira instead ol sherry. The
gourmets of the old days kept wha they
called the tenapin bottle. Into this,
when the Madeira was decanted, the
lees were poured, which are considered
better for the terrapin stew than the
clear wine. It was only after the failure
of the Madeira wine crop that Baltimore
gentlemen used sheiry in their terrapin,
n preparing terrapin for the stew pot
care is taken that the gall is extracted,
else the dish becomes a nauseating fail
ure. They are plunged alive into boil
ing water, and when the claw3 pull out
easily, they are done and ready to be
picked for the stewpan. The cultiva
tion of terrapin is quite an important in
dustry in this portion of the South, and
one gentleman last year cleared over
$4,000 from his terrapin farm.
Terrapin are very numerous in this
State, but their consumption is not at all
as general as in the Eastern and South
ern sections of the country. A few epi
cures enjoy them, but it is not easy to
find a cook who thoroughly understands
their preparation. They make the stews
too thin, and so smother them with spice
that the true, delicate flavor of the terra
pin is completely sacrificed. Indeed, a
cook of ordinary skill can make an imi
tation of terrapin with soup meat very
close to the real thing as presented here,
being spiced beyond recognition. In
those large ponds and sloughs made by
the overflow of tho Sacramento Rivet
terrapin abound. They are taken with
drag and scoop nets at all seasons, and
sell in the markets from $2.50 to $3 a
dozen. In marketing, the terrapin
dealer will always try to palm off the
male' terrapin on the ignorant eater,
while the females are reserved for their
customers who know what they are
ab3ut,and would not have the gentleman
reptile for a gift. Along the Southern
shore, in the neighborhood of Point San
Pablo, are several1 large terrapin ponds,
where they are bred for the market. Here
the female is allowed to deposit her eggs
undisturbed ia the sandy margin of
these ponds, and never raked out during
the hibernating season.
A jar of terrapin is a favorite Christ
mas present from the Baltimore aristoc
racy to their English friends, and th
great American delicacy is most thor
oughly appreciated on the other side oj
the water. San Francisco Chronicle.
Om Billet Kills Two Desr.
In the year 1842 Hezeklah Northwest,
a farmer living in Orwell Township,
Bradford Co., Penn., sta ted twp deer

Yucatan Hammocks.
rTrom time immemorial," says Consul
Edward JL Thompson; writing from
llerida, Yucatan, ''hammocks have been
uticles of use and barter in Yucatan. I
kave found the remains of hammock
beams and hooks in the chambers of the
ruined cities, mysterious relics of a past
ciriliiatioa that He buried in the depths
of the Yucatanean wilderness.' He then
gives an interesting description of their J
manufacture. He says lucatanto-ci ay ex
ports more hammocks than any other
province in the world- They are made
entirely by hand and with the aid of a few
primitive yet effective instruments.! With
a couple of straight pole?, a shuttle, a
thin slab of xapole wood, and a pile oi
bencquen leaves at hand, the native is
ready to accept contracts for hamraockj
by piece, dozen, or hundred. The poles
are placed a certain distance apart, ac
cording to the required length A . the
hammock. The thin slab of hard wood
is then rapidly fashioned with the aid ol
a sharp machette into a "tonkas" or strip
per. By the aid of this instrument the
fiber of the thick, fleshy honequen leal
is dexterously denuded of its envelope,
and a wisp of rasped fiber is the re-ult.
This i9 placed in the sun for a few hours
to bleach. The fibers are then separated
into a certain number, given a dexterous
rolLbetween the palm of the hand and
the knee, and a long strand is produced.
Two or more of these strands are then
taken, and by a similar dexterous manip
ulation converted into a cord or rope,
from which the hammock is made. Th
cord is "rove" rapidly around the twe
upright poles, and the shuttle is then
brought into play. This is generally th
women's woik, and they do their work
well. The shuttle seems to move and
seek the right mesh with a volition o!
its own, and in a very short space ol
time the hammock is made and laic
with its kmd to await the coming of thi
contractor. After reaching the hands
of the merchant in Merida, the ham
mocks, both white and colored, are eact
classified into superior and inferior goods
and neatly and compictly bailed in lot
of four or five dozen to the bale, dub
marked aud forwarded to . the Unitec
States, which absorb most of the entir
exportation. During the calendar yea
of 1885 twenty-four thousand hammocki
were shipped to the United States fron

Canned
Provisions.
"You ask. me to state the effects of
freezing upon canned fruits and vegeta
bles, especially as regards the texture
and flavor of tomatoes, corn, etc.," writes
Lieutenant Greely to the American Grocer.
"Apples, peaches, pears, rhubarb, green
peas, green corn, onions, potatoes and
tomatoes were all subject to - extreme
temperatures, over sixty degree3 below
zero, an.l were solid for months at'a
time. The second summer they thawed,
the following winter froze solid again.
All the articles named presented the
same Jappearanca as though freshly
canned, and their flavor was as good
when the last can was eaten as in the
first month. It should be understood
that these were first-class canned goods
an'5 from dealers of standing and relia
bility. Cranberry sauce, preserved dam
sons, preserved peaches and fruit butters
suffered certain changes from candying,
etc., which detracted Somewhat from
their flavor, though not materially so.
D.ealers in such preserves predicted that
such conditions and changes would
occur. I had also canned turnips,
squash, beets and carrots, as well as
pineapples, cherries, grapes, shrimps,
clams and crabs, which although not
subjected to such extreme temperature
as the foregoing, yet froze and thawed
repeatedly without injury. . No can of
any kind except a few, say half a dozen,
of fruit butters, was ever burst by action
of cold or heft t. No illness of any kind
occurred prior to our .retreat, and those
most inclined to canned fruits and vege
tables were the healthiest , and strongest
of the party. I have written thus fully
in answer to your letter from my convic
tion that the excellent quality and variety
of canned provisions contributed materi
ally to the unequaled health of my com
mand. during the two years we passed D
unparalleled high latitude. The im
portance of good canned fruit and vege
tables to parties unable to obtain the
fresh article cannot be over-rated, and
so I Sj.eak with no uncertain tone on tha

Use and Abase of Tea.
It is not a little curious, eays the
Lancet that the diseases arising from the
wrong use of tea should be met with in
greater frequency in countries foreign to
its growth. The diseases due to this
cause are well known to doctors, but the
public seem to be strangely indifferent
to the teachings of their medical advis
ers in these matters. Eecently in France
M. Eloy has reminded medical men how
vast is the numb3r of diseases owing an
allegiance to the dominion of queen tea.
America and England are the two coun
tries that are afflicted most with the
maladies arising from its excessive con
sumption. Individuals may suffer in a
variety of ways. It is customarv to
speak of acute, subacute and chronica
"theism," a form thit has no connection
with theological matters. The, pre
dominance of nervous symptoms is a
characteristic of theism. General ex
citement of the functions of the nervous
system may be observed, or the weak
ness may be noted more especially ia the
brain as distinguished from the spinal
cord. Perversion of the sense of hear
ing is not at all an uncommon symptom,
patients hearing voices that have no real
objective existence. The irritability
tbat overtakes women so frequently may
sometime? be clearly traced to an exces
sive indulgence in afternoon tea. No
doubt the tannin which tea that has been
standing contains does a great amount
of mischief; but theism belongs, rather,
to that class of diseases in which mor
phinism, caffeism and vanillism are
found. The habit of, tea-drinking is one
that grows on its victims like the similar
ones of opium or alcohol. Taken in
strict moderation and with due precau
tions in the mode of preparation, tea is,
like alcohol, a valuable stimulant; in its
abuse there is also a certain analogy.

Can Consumption lie Cored?
We have so often seen fatal results follow
tlio. declaration that it can be curtd, that we
hiiv'e unconscionsly settled down in the belief
that this disease must necessarily prove fatal.
It is true that occasionally a community
has witnessed an isolated ca.-e of what may
appropriately be termed spontaneous recov
ery, but to what combination of favorable
circumstances this result was due none have
hitherto Jxn found able to determine.
We have now the gratifying fact to an
nounce that the process by which nature ef
fects litis wonderful cuange is no longer a
mystery to vhe medicai profession, and that
the changes brouhgt about in the system un
der favorable circumstances by extrinsic
causes may le made as certainly and more,
expeditiously by the use o the proper remedy
In other words, uature is imitated and -assisted.
Tuberculous matter is nothing more or less
than nourishment imperfectly organized.
lsTow, if we can procure the organization of
this food material so that through the pro
cess of elective affinity it may take its place
in the system, we can cure the disease. This'
is just what - Fiso's Cure for Consumption
does. It arrests at once the progress of the
disease by preventing t ho further supply of
tuberculous matter, for while the system is
tinder its influence all nourishment is organ
ized and assimilated. It thus controls cough,
expect oration, night-sweats, hectic fever, and
all ether characteristic symtoms of Con
sumption.
Many physicians are now using this medi
cine, aud all write that it comes" fully up to
its recommendations and makes Consump
tion one of the diseases they can readily cure.
The forming stage of a disease is always the
most auspicious for treatment. This fact
should induce persons to resort to the use of
Piso's Cure when the cough is first noticed,
whether it has a consumptive diathesis for
its cause or not, for this remedy cures all
kinds of coughs with unequaled facility and
promptness. In coughs from a simple cold,
two or three doses of the medicince have been
found sufficient to remove the trouble. So
in all diseases of the throat and lungs, with
symptoms simulating those of Consumption,
Piso's Cure is the only infallible remedy.
The following letter recommending Fiso's
Cure for Consumption, is a fair sample of
the certificates received daily by the proprie
tor of this medicine:
