THE ERA. THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1S75. CarviiifT. It is considered an accomplish ment for ft lady or gentleman to i-nrtw Vinw tn mrvo well, at his or AftAV If A W If w - w her own table. It is not proper to stand in carv ing. The carving-knife should be sharp and thin. To carve fowls (which should al ways be laid with the breast upper most), place the fork in the breast and tako off the wings and legs without turning the fowl ; then cut the "merry thought," cut slices from the breast, tako out the collar bone, cut off the side pieces, and Hion pnt tho. carcass in two. Divide the joints in the legs of a turkey. In carving a sirloin, cut thin slices from the side next to you ; it must le put on the dish with the tender loin underneath ; then turn it ana out from the tender loin. Serve the guests to both kinds. In carving a leg of mutton or a ham, begin by cutting acroas the middle of the bone. Cutatongucacrossand notlength wi n'nd srrvo from the middle part. Carve a forenuarter of lamb by separating the shoulder from the ril, and then divide the ribs. Serve each to ti piece of kidney and its fat. Carve pork and mutton the same way. To carve a fillet of veal, begin at tho ton and heln to the stuffing with each slice. In abreast of veal, separate the breast and bridket ar.d then .serve them up, asking which part is preferred. I n carving a pig it is customary to divide it and take off the head before it comes to the table, as, to many persons, the head is revolting. Cut off the limbs and divide the ribs. The Housewife's Tabic. Tho following is a valuable house wife's table, which we print for the benefit of our lady friends. !Let it Ik? observed that allowance must be made for any extraordinary dryness or moisture of tho articles measured or weighed : Wheat flour, 1 pound is 1 quart. Indian corn meal, 1 pound 2 ozs. is a quart. Butter, when son, 1 pound is 1 quart. Irfxif sugar, broken, 1 rpound is 1 quart. White sugar, iovdcrcd, 1 jound 1 ounce is a quart. Best brown sugar, 1 iound 2 ozs. is a quart. Ten eggs are 1 pound. Sixteen large tablespoon fids are 1 pint. Four larco tablespoon fills are 1 m SHI. Two gills arc a pint.c. 2 pints are one quart ;-1 quarts 1 gallon. A-common sized tumbler holds 1 pint. A common sized wine glass holds 1 gill. A teacup holds pint. A large wine glass holds 1 gill . A tablespoouful is an ounce. Sixty drops are equal to 1 spoonful. Four tcaspoonfuls are equal tables poonful. Asparagus for Itlicumatisin. A medical correspondent of an English journal says that the ad vantages of asparagus are not suffi ciently appreciated. Those who suffer from rheumatism are cured in a few days by feeding on this de licious esculent ; and more chronic cases are much relieved, especially if the patient avoids all acids, whether in food or beverage. The Jerusalem artichoke has a similar effect in relieving rheumatism. It may be well to remark that most plants which grow naturally near tho sea coast contain more or. less iodine, and in all rheumatic com plaints iodine has long been a fa vorite remedy. One who has been in the drug business told the writer some years ago that many of the popular patent nostrums which some disinterested people 41 for the good of their fellow creatures" sold at two dollars a bottle, consist ed simply of a few cents' worth of iodine in solution. Iodine is dan gerous, however, in overdose, af fecting especially the eye. Ingrowing Nails. To cure ingrowing toe nails, put a small piece of tallow in a spoon, heat it until it becomes very hot, and pour on the granulations. The effect is magical. Pain and tender ness are relieved at once, and in a few days the granulations are all gone, tho diseased part3 dry and destitute of all feeling, and the edge of the nail exposed so as to admit of being pared away without any in convenience. We all ought to know that one pound of green copperas, costing seven cents, dissolved in one quart of water, poured down a water clos et, will effectually concentrate and destroy the foulest smells. About hotels and other public places, there is nothing so nice to purify the air. Simple green copperas, dissolved in anything under the bed, will render a hospital or other places for the sick free from unpleasant smells. Iron. American iron is again to be shipped tq England. An Eng lish paper saj's the Cornwall Iron Company, of Cedar Bluff, Cherokee county, Alabama, are preparing to ship to tho same destination 100 tons of their charcoal pig iron, and that they have secured freights from Savannah to Liverpool at ten shil lings per ton. This is indeed send ing coals to Newcastle. Large Farm. Colonel Leo Jor dan, a Georgia farmer, owns and cultivates 200,000 acres, the original cost of which was S45.000. lie has S00 laborers, but is gradually adopt Ingthe tenant system, bix over seers superintend tho. plantations, and raise from 1,400 to 2,000 bales of cotton. tea- to 1 frrcncli KC01101113. A French family can live and live wfell. on less than would be consul- rrel sufllciento save from starva tion an American family of the samo numbers. An intelligent Bos ton ian,-ho had spent some years in France, said to mo last summer, in speaking of the economical habits and skill iu cookery of the French iconic that a French village of a r thousand inhabitants could be sup ported luxuriously on the waste of one of our large American hotels. The remark was not far from the truth. If the art of cookery were understood and practiced in the United States as it is in France : if our people knew as well how to make most of their provisions as tho French do, the cost of living, would take, you or rae?" Washing not Taken in. A good old minister of one of our New England Baptist Churches was agreeably surprised by the intelli gence from one of his flock that five individuals had expressed a desire on tho next Sunday to have the baptismal rite performed on them selves. A fter i ts performance, how ever, he was somewhat chagrined that only one of the five joined the society of which he was pastor. A few Sundays afterward the same worthy elder waited on him with the intelligence that ten more desired immersion. "And how many will join the so ciety," queried the minister. "Two, I regret to say, is all we can depend upon," was the cider's reply. "Very well." said the good old man, "you may as well inform the other eight that this church doesn't take in washing." A Good Answer. An English gentleman wishing to test the Irish wit thus accosted an Irish laborer, who was at work mending a fence : "Well, Paddy, suppose Satan was to come along now and see both of us here, which do you supposo he as far as food is regarded, in most of the States would be reduced more than fifty percent. Domestic econ omy, as a rule, is neither practiced nor understood by Americans as it is iu France. It may not be too "Oh, faith, yer honor, he'd take me. 'How so?" said the Englishman, in astonishment. "Well," said Paddy, "he'd take me because ho wouldn't be sure of much to say that the entire popula- me when he'd come again, but he's tion of France could be surported sure enough of you at any time, and on food which is literally wasted in he could afford to wait." the Uuited States. The number of people who livo beyond their in come is less, and the number of those whose incomes exceed their expenditure is greater in France in proportion to population, than in any other country. liaising Chickens by Steam. .Mr. lcnois nas estaDiisnea a chicken factory, and is now turning out chickens daily. The eggs, say 60 or 100 dozen, are spread out in a box which is buried in a large hot bed, and by means of ventilation the temperature is kept up at about 100 degrees ; though when the fowls are beginning to hatch they need ten degrees less.

Meditations op Two Minds. "Ah,if I were only as good a man as she is a woman !"said a loving hus band to himself, tenderly regarding his wife through the half open door of the room where she was sitting with clasped hands and closed eyes, as if in holy communion with her Maker. "What a picture for an art ist, just as she now looks praying, no doubt." Then he stole into the apartment, hoping not to arouse her, but sho sprang toward him eagerly exclaiming: "O, Charlie, Pve been thinking ever so much if I hadn't better send that bonnet back to be re trimmed." "Are you not alarmed at the ap- " They tell a tough story about a new baggage man on one of our local trains," says the Los Angelos Star. He was told to pile up the trunks in a baggage car, and be sure to hang the checks on the outside. The literal minded youth piled up the trunks, and then took off the checks, with the leather straps at tached, and hung them up on out side of the car. The baggage mas ter at the depot was driven nearly frantic by the passengers per the Orizaba attempting to identify their boxes. ' "You run this paper, do you ?" said a sad-faced man as he lugged a cow-hide into a Western editorial room. "I've been wanting to see the biggest liar in Missouri for some time, an' now oh, now!" And then the editor got up and tumbled him down on top of a clothing sign on the first floor and went on with an article on the resources of the country. "Don't come to see me any more just yet, John. Father has been having his boots half-soled, with two rows of nails around the toes." Doctor of music a fiddle D. D. THE CONVENTION ACT. An Act to call a Convention of the People of North Carolina.
