Rusty FLAT Inoxs should be rubbed over with beeswax and lard. Pracues, cut in thin slices, and dropped Into boiled custard before it is served, make a Palatable addition. To Keep Bouquets Fresu drop a tablespoon- ful of powdered charcoal into the water intend- @i for the flower stalks. The charcoal thus placed in the water preserves the freshness and periame of the flowers for several days, so that hey look and smeli as fresh as those just gathered. Frrep CUCUMBERS.—Cut off the skin, slice lengthwise into thick pieces and lay in cold water half an hour; wipe dry, dip in beaten egg. then in fine cracker crumbs, seasoned city highly with, pepper and salt, and fry im hot lard; drain dry and eat hot. They are far more paiatabie than might be supposed. Some like to squeeze a few drops of lemon Juice on each slice before eating it. Loastee Ceoquertes.—Chop the meat of a large lobster quite fine, stir into a cupful of @rawa butter, beat up an egg and add it, with the juice of half a lemon, salt to taste and a lit- Ue cayenne. (The drawn butter should be rather BUfl) Set the paste thus made on ice until stiff and colic. Take outa great spoonful at a time, make Into croquettes, roll in flour, then in beat- enegs, again in pounded cracker. Fry care- fully in hot lard, drain each as you take it up and serve on a hot dish. Porato CHowpex.—Slice ana fry a quarter Of a pound of fat salt pork, and take it up when tis brown; meantime peel and slice a pint of eaijons and @ quart of potatoes. When the pork is brown take it up with a skimmer and put the Onions into the drippings; wien they begin to brown put in the potatoes and pork, with a high seasoning of salt and pepper, and half a pound of sea biscuit; add enough hot water to fover and saturate the biscuits and boll the chowder yeutly until the potatoes are just ten- der; see that thie chowder is palatably seasoned and serve it, Asmall plate in the bottom of the saucepan wil guard it from burning. Cou Botnep Beer Av GRaTix.—An appe- tizing way of utilizing cold boiled beef is to pre- Pare it au gratin. Put two ounces of butter in ® saucepan upon the fire; when melted, sprinkle into it one teaspoonful of minced Gnions, one teaspoonful of chopped parsiay, three mushrooms fuely minced, a pinen of salt, pepper and allspice and two’ tablespoon- fuis of ‘The bread crumbs. Stir for two min- Utes and add enough broth to make the mix- ture liquid. Cut oue pound of boiled beet in slices; lay these in a silver or tin dish; pour the mixture over them and cover with a thin layer Of sitted bread crums. Putsmali bits of but- ter here and there on the top and bake ina good oven for fiiteen mistutes. Serve hot. Tats Laver CAKE will be found delicious: (Cream four tablespoontuls of butter with two cups of sugar; add three tull cups o1 flour sifted with two heaping teaspoontuls of baking pow- der, one cup ot milk, the ¥elks of four exgs, well, beaten, and the four whites whipped to u stiff froth, Buke in two jelly«ake pans.

Pour this gravy over the meat until the dish is full. Wuen cold, set it in the ice chest and serve the next day, turning iv out on @ dish. PRESERVING PRESERVED FRvIT.—In orderto Keep preserved fruit in condition it is neces- Sary thatthe ars be air tight and that they be keptin @ cool,dark place. The top of every Jar with a screw or rubber fastening shouid be Sealed witn bottle wax. Jeily giasses should be secured with bladders or with paper dipped in white of egy and pressed about ine glass with- Outawrinkie. Many persous take tue precau— tion to wrap every glass Jar or tumbler in paper and then pack euen of them in sawdust or Sand, so that they will not be affected by light Bor by atmospueric changes. The closet in waich »reserves are Kept should not be damp Bor should it be ia cluse proximity to the kitchen. Mor IN CARPETS.—The most effective rem- edy for the carpet moth, says the American Ay | riculturist, 1s steam. As the insects confine their operations to near the edges of the car- pets @ wet sueet is folded to form astrip a toot ‘Or more wide; this is laid upon the earpet close to the base-bourd; several irons are heated quite not aud pa sed over the wet sheet; this Wil generate svundant steam, which will be forced into the crevices and destroy the insects in their hiding places. Another recommends oil of cedar, in tue proportion of one ounce of the off to three ounces of alcohol, along the edges of the carpet and in dark corners, in chests and drawers, repeating the application every week or two during the season. GREEN CoRN CHoWDER.—A vegetable chow- der may be a novelty to some readers, but it is @ very palatable dish. Remove the husks and silk from twelve large ears of corn, cut down- ward tbrougu the middle of the rows of grains Sud scrape out the interi .r with the back of a Kaife; peel and slice two onions and @ quart of potatoes, and cut Im small dice @ quarter ofa pound oi Sait pork; fry the pork ‘and onions 1p ‘@ saucepan, Lake tuem out With a skiminer,and Dut the other ingredicnts into the drippings in layers, seasoning thei palatably with salt and Pper; midway put in the pork and onions, jog the rest of the vegetables and more sea- soning, and bot water enough to stand ‘an inch ‘above ikem; cover the saucepan, and cook te chowder gently for bait an hour alter 1t begins ‘to boil, Sst betore the chowder is done scald ® pintof miik and pour it over half a pound of qalik or Bosion crackers laid in @ soup tureen; cover the tareen for five niluutes, then see that the chowder Is palatavly seasoucd, pour it into the tureeu, and serve it with a plate of crackers. ae eee Bathing at Narragansett Pier.

Corps’ Expedition to At lantie City. THE CAMP ON THE LAWN BY THE SEA—AR- RANGEMENTS FOR THE DEPARTURE Tu- NIGHT—THE ROSTER OF THE CORPS—THE MIKADO. There was a bustle of activity at the armory of the Light Infantry last evening when the preparations were in progress for the departure this evening of the corps to Atlantic Clty, where the annual encampment vill be made. The large camp chests were grouped in one part of the armory, with their covers yawning wide open like a hungry man watching the prepara- tion of his dinner, and into these capacious maws bundles of all sizes and shapes were tossed by eager hands, and were received by » detach- ment of the “small squad,” who had been de- tailed for duty inside the chests, and who ren- dered great service in bringing retractory bun- dies to terms by stamping them with their teet, In this way the diminutive forms of the “smali squad” gradually grew in the sight of the spec- tators until they loomed above the top of the chests, and then it was known that the chests were full. These, however, were the cor] chests but no such measures were adopted THE MESS CHESTS. These were packed with the most scrupulous care, and the various articles collected with the view of adorning the tents and outshining every other mess in camp were packed away Maryland Ave. a i fA ‘Webb, Wheatley and Ludiow, Frank Hume, H.

And then when the a was completed the members of the ditferent messes as far as possible perched upon their respective chests and boasted what they were going to do and how each one would be the notable mess of the camp. The friendly rivalrythat exists between the different messes results in adding to the attractiveness of the camp. The Mikado mess, which is said to be the boss mess this year, will have their tent furnished throughout with Japanese goods, and when the members are relieved from sol- dier duty they propose to appear in Japanese costumes that will simply take the cake.

THE FRENCH IN CANADA. How They are Rapidly Getting Back ‘Their Old Domain. A. M. Elliot. American Journal of Philology. Large tamilies are the rule everywhere. M. Ouimet, the present able superintendent of pu-b lieinstruction for the Province of Quebec, js the twenty-sixth child in his family, and it is a most common thing to find families of twenty- five to thirty children by the same mother. A Tace, whether of the Latin or of any other stock, which has been Known to celebrate fourteen golden weddings at one time in a single parish, is not likely even to be anglicized or stamped out by royal edicts, But this prolificness is the simple continuance of a state of things that was encouraged by the early colonizers and rulers of the province. Colbert provided the colonist with a wile and did everything in his power to encourage large families by royal premiums, A royal gratuity of twenty fraucs was given to young men who married at 20 years or under, aud to girls who found husbands before they were sixteen. It was no uncommon thing in these eariy days for the united ages of the bride and groom to fall short of thirty years. A premium of three hundred francs was awarded to parents with ten living children, and of four hundred to those who had twelve children. Asa natural effect of this rapid in- crease in population, we find a gradual uproot- iug of the weaker race in point of numbers, that is, the English. Nor Is it to the west alone, ‘4s with the people of the United States, that the French race is spreading. Masters ot the lower Si. Lawrence, they are dally penetrating turther and larther to the east and) south, In four counties of New Brunswick, Victoria: Kistigouche, Gloucester and nt, they aiready have more than ten thousand majority. Repatriation societies have been estaviished, and are actively at work to bring buck those Who have gone forth to seek new homes in the United States. Thousands of good thriity citizens have thus been restored to their native stock, Whose force they materially increase in the determined race strugzle that is now going on in Canada. The Frenen population now occupies seven- eiguths of Lower Canada. The English element, aiter a bard fut, bus virtually renouuced the struggle te noid the province, and, discouraged, as Fetired, oF is rapidly retiring frum this part the teld. ‘The “wonderiully absorbing power of the Frenci: elemen hus here produce tue curious poenomenon of 4 peopie, in certal partsof tue country, who bear all the rac cuaracteristics of the English or Scotch, such as the blue eyes, light hair, florid tuces, and who have the name of Warren, Fraser, MeDon- aid, MePherwon, etc., but also’ are sull unable to speak aword’ of the mother tongue. The English names of roads of towns, at counties, give avundant proof as to who were the oc. Cupants of the soil a lew years ago. Toduy itis the oilspring of the Gallic stock that possess the land. ‘their unswering purpose, encouraged by the clergy, Is to take back Lhelr uid duinains bY the peuceria! process oi repopulating them. witis descendants of their own ‘vieod, and at the present rate of Increase, we may saiely predict thatit will not be many geueraiions velore they shall have accomplished this unique feat. At Montreal the French element is progress ing apace. Though the population’ (about one hundred and fily thousand) 1s here ‘pretty nearly balauced Leiween the French on the one and, and the diferent race elements, such ‘as Englisu, Scotch, Irish, ete., ou the otier, yet tue number of children is more than doubie ta favor of the Gaul, being as 65.32 of ull the other nationalities. Ils evident, theretore, tnat ina few generations, if Unis condition of tings continues, the French wiil be in an overwheun ing majority. It we pass a little farther to the west, we find that two counties of Upper Canada,” Kussell and Prescott, bave already fallen into the hands ot the Frencu, and they number now more than 100,000 souls in this province. But uo where else, perhaps, is the spread ot the Gallic race wore iarked than in the Lown Of Oulawa, capital of the dominion. Here, alter hardly # dozen years of existence, the town began to turu Freueb, so that now ‘it is more French than English. ‘The habitant, having Uus crossed the line between Upper aud Lower Canada, is marching westward throng tne counties mentioued above, and nortoward up the valley of the Ottawa river.

The Ex-Chief of the Great Strike in the Role of a Restanrauter. From the Kansas City Journal. In the cellar of No. 501 Main street, there is a saloon with “wine parlors” attached, which the Proprietor has christened “Mikado,” and under the 5th street sidewalk is a lunch counter some ten feet long. Martin Irons, the former chair- man of District Assembly 101, K. of L., whose words were so weighty during the strike last spring, is the gentleman who dispenses nutri- ment over the festive board to such of man- kind as will become customers. There is probably not over $5 a day received over the counter. A Journat reporter visited Mr. Irons yester- day afternoon and found that gentleman seated in front of @ narrow shelf, on which was bulita pyramid of thirteen cans of Boston baked beans, another of nine cansof prime oysters and another of five boxes ot sardines. Several pies, in all stages of consumption, graced anotuer part of the shelf, and the whole Was partially shielded trom flies and observa- tion by a strip of mosquito netting. In tront of Mr. Irons was the counter, covered with a kind Or oil-cloth, witch attached itself so firmly to the dishes that it took both hands to wrench them loose. “Yes,” said Mr. Irons, “I am only in this busi- hess for the present, and hope togetout. It I could I would be a machinist again. I bear all this talk about fair play, hiring men for their qualifications and not, cofisidering any assocla- Gon to which they may belong. {tell you em- ployers will not hire Knights of Labor unless hey are ovinged to."

There,” he said, hand- ing the reporter a June number of Lippincott's, “is quite an extended article for Wuich I re- eclved ¥50. Yes, I have quite a number of other relics of tie strike.” Here Mr. Irons produced a vallse which was enurely empty on one side, while tue other coutained two or three 5 collars, two or three pairsot No. 10 cuffs, and a confusion of letter and newspa- perclipbings. “Here,” he sald, “is the Missouri cifle pass about ‘which tlere Was so much tal. You see it is good ail over the southwest system.” as that given with the expectation of equally valuable revurn?” “Yes and no,” suid Mr. Irons. “Itwas not given as a bribe, for ti uri Pacifle peopie knew better than to attempt that. Mr. Hoxie said that I was a valuable man, for I was able to easily and equubly sqttle ail labor troubles wherever they occurred, and that consequently Ishould be given the ‘right of the road.” 1 sup- pose ‘would be collected it I presented it now. have some letters here wuich 1 think you wouid like to see.” ‘Mr. Irons tuen produced a small pasteboard box, which ulso contained @ contusion of let- ters, on the top of which lay a rusty revolver and a curd of nursery pius. He searched through the letters very carefully, and finally found one or two from friends in Arkansas, in which they stated that Mr. Barry, of the gen- eral executive board, had stated ‘while there that there was nota good Kuight of Labor in. the whole executive board of district assembly 101. ‘The letters were presented without com- ment, and the reporter did not feel equal to the task Of making any. “What do you think of Mr. Powderly?” “Sir, Powderly, Ido not think, is a far-seeing man. Inever ‘Had the slightest ill-feeling to- ward him, although there were numerous newspaper reports to the contrary. ‘The story that I ever thought of succeeding him as chair ian of the executive board is the merest non- sense, I have never made the least effort in that direction, “Are you acquainted with the Wyandotte train wreekers? “I know Hamilton, and I know he is not guilty of the crime with which he is ¢! think, but Lam by no means certain, tuat he was Io St. Louis at the me the wreck hap- pened.

In the immediate vicinity are the cottages owned and occupied by residents of this city. In fact, the entire beach, which a few. years ago formed part of the farm of Mr. H. J. Kintz, is now owned by & company of Washingtonians, of which Mr. Alexander Melville Bell is the president, and in whose honor the camp was christened.” The beach Is a favorite resort for people in this city, and as it is located on the salt water and has many other advantages, such as bunting and fishing, it is destined ‘to become still more attractive. ‘The friends of the Rifles propose to go down occasionally during the encampment and help relieve the monotony of CAMP LIFE, and as the captain commanding in his official Hatet. occasions the ‘which sometimes four men in one tent, and t Hi ‘Mess, the’ Bachelors’ mess and ‘War mess.

MELLVILLE BELL, order has given carte blanche to his command to have all the enioyment possible, Colonial Beach will probably be a very gay place during the coming week. ‘There will be concerts every. morning and evening. The Weccacoe band, of Pinladelphia, goes with the company, and it is safe to say thut the vicinity will witness more gayety than it has since the days of the Wash- Tngtohs, the Lees, the Monroes, and the other aristocratic families of Virginia, whose hand- some country places were located in this region. For it should be remembered that this neighborhood is historic ground, for_at_ Wake- fleld, a short distance low r down, Washington was bora. Then there ts Stratford Hall, the home of the Lees, and Chantilly, another fine country place, also occupied by one ot the Lees. President Monroe was bora in this locality and gave his name to the creek that torms the Upper boundary of the beach. But the mem- bers of the Rifles, wiile not earing much for THE ANCIENT GLORIES ofthe place, propose to see that the present event goes down to history, at leastin the ex- perience of all who are present, as unexcep- tiouably brilliant. The quartermaster ser- geaut, Mr. Atkenson, could give some infor- mation on this score, for he has had charge of the boxes and the company’s chests, and he has been hard at work for a week pack- ing away what the high privates and the low privates consider absolutely essential for their existence during the! Stay atthe beach. The announcement, there- fore, follows as a matter of course that there are to be daily excursions from this city to the beach while the command remains there; that on next Wednesday a iaii dress recepuinn aod | be given a novel reception.

Itis not unusual for the Scottish shepherd to gravely say, wnen his sheep carefully avold some particular locality, that “they must ha’e seen a geast there,” and he will assure you that there are “auld Kirks and brigs, and ither un- canny places which all the dougs in Scotland could na get his sheep to gang by. But the doug will sometimes see the geast, too, and then he wiil na gang by there himnsel’,” Upon one occasion the wriver had the oppor- tunity of studying the superstitious proclivities of a great Newfoundland dog whose chances of association with children had been very liun- ited. With some visitors to his house came & child with a doll large enough for the dog to take in the human characteristles ofits head and face, surmounting the dress in their proper order and proportion;this,united with sucn fairy- like dimensions, constituted a mystery too pro- found tor the mental penetration of Bruin. “He was delighted with the association of the child, as it was the first of its kind with Whom he was on termsot intimate acquaintance.

In an article published at the time of those visitations, the Democrat and Chronicle observer estimated that the effects of the great solar disturbance wonid begin to be felt again about the 18th of August. Dr. Veeder, in his note published yesterday, puts the time ofreturn at about the 15th of ‘August. It is Drobable that the facuie preceding the spots will be seen by that time, and the spots may be in tull view by the 16th. ‘The effect of this dis- turbance will greatly depend upon the atmos- pherlc cunditions at the time of reappearance: it there is @ general high barometer and cool ‘weather, the storm effects will be delayed for afew days. Following the appearance of the solar disturbances by rotation on Tuesday, another barometic depression developed in the horthwest yesterday with high temperature, ‘This will either move eastward betore the great disturbed area on the sun reappears or a gen- eral depression may be contunued over the northern states until the 18th. In the latter case the effect of the great solar disturbance will be immediate.

From the Prairie Farmer. Mr. 0. R. Gleason, “Professor of Horse-train- ing,” who certainly has shown great skill in subduing and breaking the most obdurate ani- mals, gives the following advice: ‘The question may arise: For steady hard work at moderate speed, will not a heavy framed, strong muscle animal, with slight intelligence, like the mule, return more work for the food, than the one with higher mental faculties and more active nerves? Is not there a waste of force, of the power desired, from the nutriment consumed, in the horse with a highly developed hervous constitution? Mr. Gleason udvises to never select a horse having long ears, lined inside with long, straight hair. Do not buy one that is nurrow ‘between tue ears and between the eyes, or that has flat, roand eyes in sunken orbits, and whose nostrils are sinall and. thici for he will certainly prove to ve a beast of small Antelligence, hard” to teach, incapable of re- membering’and liable to be obstinate, just as stupid persons are, And do not buy the horse that is narrow at the top of the head, bulging between the eyes and has a sunken, dish-like face between them, for he is sure to be vicious and treacherous, But take the horse that nas short ears, with short, curly hair beside them, that is broad between the ears and eyes, with & Fegular, straight face and large, thin nostrils, for in him you will find an intelligent, spirited, yet willing servant, and faithlul friend, if treated rightly. The Impetuous Spirit. From the Mobile (Ala.) Register, August 12 ‘The killing of H. M. Sullivan by C. B. Howry at Oxford, Miss., is a most deplorable affair. It is not for us to pronounce judgment as to whether there was excuse for the killing; a court of justice and a jury must do this, Butit is within the province of journalistic comment to point to this tragedy as another result of the lamentable habit of carrying concealed weapons, which still prevails to too great an extent in the south. In this case the weapon | was carried by a judicial officer, We are told that there had long veen a feud between these two gentlemen, both occupying high social and official position. We are also ipiormed that “both Were impetuous, warm-blooded, and neither would wear an insult for a moment.” Alas! that Is so, but this same impetuous spirit is respousible for much of the blood that is shed atthe south. To-day It is the cause of a widow's bitter tears, of @ strong man’s keen remorse, For it Mr. liowry’s character and standing are such as they have been represented to be be cannot but teel deeply the consequence of his act. An impetuous spirit 1s still too prevalent in Some parts of the south, That is the reason that “personal difficulties” occur as often as they do; not as irequently asin the past, but much too often still. In investizating bomi- cides due to feuds between men possessing such A spirit the cold facts siouia be looked ut, the |law upheld, and punisament meted out ir deserved. ‘There shouid be no glamour thrown around such cases on accouul of the social Standing and respectable position of the parties, If there is excuse ior the killing full credit Should be given for it; if none, then the law snould take its course. ‘see —_—___ The Toothsome Sardine. AND OTHER MESSINA DELICACIES THAT MAKE THE MOUTH WATER, From Blackwood’s Mazazine. Tsaid it was worth while steaming to Messina for the sake of the sardines; so itis. Itis true that sardines are to be euten pretty nearly in perfection all along the Mediterranean, but those of Messina strike one as supreme. There is @ good deal of fashion in the conventional reputation of fishes; # fresh caught sole of Bou- logne can hold ils own any day with the best of Torbay; the haddocks of the Moray firth match ‘those trom the bay of Dublin; nor has Loch Fyne any monopoly of delicately flavored herrings among tne sea lochs between the Clyde and the Pentland, But it is sale to say that those sardines of Messina are not to be surpassed, though they may possibly be equaled. Like Greenwich whitebait, they are rather a speciaity of that place. The waiter breathes a shrill’ whisper through the speaking tube whicn communi- cates irom the ground floor to the kitchen. A sutlsfactory response comes very promptly in the shape of a taint sound of frizzing.

By way’ of condiment there are simply a couple of sliced lemons, and the result is 30 tempting, so fragrantly uppe- tizing, tnat you scarcely’ take time to disen- gage the fish from the boues, Should you have followed up the sardines by the veal cutlet the waiter will surely have recommended or by wnat he is pleased to cali a filet, you will have cause to repent it; though the Iman is not to be blamed for suggesting tiem, as both dishes are popular with the ordinary par trons.

HOW TO MAKE IT GO ROUND FOR A LARGE FAMILY, From the Rural New Yorker, The following I think @ novel way of using @ fowl and making much ot it, and likewise rather original. First select a yellow-skinned fowl weighing about four pounds; after a good singelug wash well in cold water, and put over the fire in a kettle with plenty of water: let it buil; Larow away this water, as it removes any taste of teathers; then return to the fire and cover with cold water, and boil slowly until tender. Season well with salt and per, Next, take up and joint and pick out all the best meat, bot dark and light, and cut in pieces one or two inches square (or long), cut the liver and heart also in pieces, the size of dice, mix well with dark and light meat, and place ina deep stone or earthen dish and pour from the kettle enough of the top of the broth to completely cover the meat. Set away for future use, Return all that remains, bones, skin and all, to the remainder of the broth, and boil until the bones al perfectly clean. Now strain through a under and pick out the bones; next chopall you have, skin, gizzard and meat, very fine—the finer the better. Ifonion is not distasteful, slice one small one, and add two or three cloves, and boil in the broth a few minutes; then skim out and add the chopped chicken, and boil only a few minutes. It is ready (0 use, eithur with a little thickening poured over thick slices of toasted bread, or es @ soup which cannot be excelled.

Now for the choice bits: Say, the third day after the soup (in cool weather), make es oF turnovers.
