Gasman Scarrlsu Suoa'r.BasAD.â€"Take two pounds of fine flour, a pound and a quarter of fresh butter, a pound of sugar, pulverized. Thoroughly kneed-these to- gether without one drop of water (the pre- vailing mistake is to add more or less water), roll out the cake to half an inch in thick- ness, and place it over paper in a shallow tin and bake slowly until of proper crisp- ness. It is usual to insert in upper surface a few carraway confections and small pieces of orange peel. Good cake should be most brittle. Scotice, “short,” hence its name. The paper under can be folded four times, to keep it from burning, but it is not neces~ sary to oil the paper, as the butter will exude from the cake to some degree. TOILET RECIPES.

Threatened leisure by England of 'l‘or- Tunas Island. SANTIAGO on CUBA, A ril Iiiâ€"News has been received from Hay i that an amicable ‘ settlement of the British claims may be ex- ‘ pected. The Haytien Assembly has had two special sittings, one public and one secret, to consider the demand made by Mr. Hill, the British special agent now in Hayti. He wishes to have the principle admitted. ‘l’resident Solomon declined taking action until he obtained an expression of opinion from the Arsembly. To admit the principle is to acknowledge the English claim of $1,000,000. The Island of Tortugas was offered to the British Government in settle- ment of this claim three years ago. The u‘overnment of Hayti has recently borrowed 15,000,000 francs in Paris. If En land wants a Ha tien island the French or itors will probably have something to say. The alarming rumours that have reached this city from Hayti seem to be baseless. THE MONROE DOCTRINE TO BE MAINTAINED, Wasuixo'rox. April litâ€"Although no ofli- cial information has been received at the De partment of State of the report that Great Britain has threatened to seize Tortugas Is- land, yet it is learned that the American cause] at Iiayti has kept the department fully informed as to the nature of the British claim and all proceedings taken by that Government against Huyti during the past three or four years. Now that the matter is reported to have assumed so serious a phase the Government, with a view to being pre- pared for any emergency, is beginning to canvass its resources, in case it should be- come necessary to again assert the intention of this country to maintain the Monroe doc~ trine to the extent of protecting the small Republics of the American continent against the encroachments of European powers. The result of the inquiry into the naval re- sources of the United States is not encourag- ing so far. Several wooden vessels forming the training squadron are now on their way northward from the West Indies, and at present there is no vessel bearing the Ameri- can flag in Haytien waters. The Yantic is at Key West and .the Galena is at Aspin- wall, and it is possible that one or both of these vessels may be ordered to the vicinity of Hayti to represent the United States Government in the event that it may become necessary to enter a formal rotest against European encroachments in t e West Indies. Another Attempt on Ills Elieâ€"Arrest of Sns- g plclons Persons. LONDON, April 19.â€"A despatch from St. Petersburg to the Daily News says :-â€"The most alarming reports respecting the Czar have been in circulation here. One rumour was to the effect that a mine had been dis. covered under the Im erial palace at Gats- china ; but it is learne on the best authority that this report is untrue, also that arrests have been made at Gatschina as was report- ed. On Wednesday, however, when the Czar was driving to the Gatschina station here, a man and woman were seized at the corner of the Nevski Prospect and the Great Morskaia ten minutes before the Czar’s car- riage passed. Another person tried to pre- sent a tition as the Czar passed, but was arreste before he could reach the carriage. It has not pet been ascertained sitively whether or not the persons arrested’l’iad any criminal intentions. The Czar was in per fect health and excellent spirits. ARRESTED “'I'I‘II B0" BS. Vienna and Berlin telegrams confirm the foregoing and state that the culprits stood upon the ate 3 of an uninhabited house and carried bom 3 under aplaid shawl. It is supposed the petitioner was an accomplice of the other two and did not know the lat- ter had been arrested. The Czar knew no- thing of the arrest. He sat beside the Czar- ina. and kept bowing to the populace. They Were returning to Gatschina from the winter palace, where they had been receiving a Japanese prince. The French Government has offered to mediate between England and Hay ti. The Soir thinks the Imminence of American in- tervention gives the question a grave char- acter. Information has been received from St. Petersburg that a quantity of dynamite has been abstracted from the military depot at Libnn. Many persons have been arrested on auspicion of being implicated in the affair. A despatch from Buda I’eeth says the police have discovered an active anarchist glot, and arrested two leaders. They are oreign workmen who arrived there only re- cently. They were arrested for spreading anarchist doctrines. The Governor ongaruf. in the Kelet-I- Ghilmi district, was killed by Ghilzais while going to the assistance of the Candahar troo senga ed in suppresain the Ghilzai robe Iion. t is reported thatt eGovernor’s rebellion. ft is reported that the Governor’s force was massacred. Unfounded reports are current at Peshawur to the effect that the Ameer of Afghanistan is dead, that Kelat has fallen and that Cabul and Candahar are in danger. A USEFUL \Vm-zD.â€"The river thyme, which has been generally voted a nuisance, choking up ponds and rivers with its to id rowth, is now thought to be a. rcnmrkn. le eslzh plant. A German doctor has dis- covered that in his district malaria and diarrhea have decreased since the water thyme be an to infest the streams. The plant fee(s on decayed vegetable matter, etc., which are supposed to breed disease germs. .. 'v 1.: n - . I I a The Calcutta Health Society, a body founded three years ago, has published an essay on the sanitary condition of Calcutta. It points out that during the last six years cholera alone has claimed 24,000 victims in the city and its suburbs, and that this re- sult is directly traceable to the filthy con- dition of certain plague spots, to defects in the drainage system. to the want of proper control over the milk supply, and to the deficiency of the water supply in parts of the town and throughout the suburbs. The London 'I'imm’ St. Patel-shuns; corre- spondent confirms the statement that a nnm~ ber of arrests worn made them on the neon- sion of the visil of tho ('mr, but an 3 ho is unnhlo to confirm the report that a rcah at- tempt hrul been made upon the (‘7. nr'a life.

THE UNIIAPPY CZAR. FGREIGN ITIEMS. The farmer who is always behind with his work nevergets very large cm s, and yet he has to work quite as hard as t e farmer who i is always in season and who always has good crops. In fact the cultivation of cm s is often attended by twice as much abor- where the work is delayed a few days be- yond the prOper time, and where the weeds get well started it is not only double the work to cultivate the ero , but, as a rule, leaves the weeds but half estroyed, so in a few days others will get rooted and growing as vigorously as ever, thus necessitating the work to be done over again at more ex~ pense of time than at first; but when the work of cultivation begins at other proper time, it can easily be done in such a thorough manner that the weeds will be destroyed, and s new crop must start from the seed, thus givin the crop a chance to get so 1well starte that the second crop of weeds will be small. Land that is to be seeded ‘ down to grass should receive early attention 1 that the grass see may grow and cover the ground before the weeds get up to shade ,the young grass. When seeding dowu is ‘delayed until the weather becomes warm the weeds will start before the grass and grow so rapidly as to entirely overshadow the young grass, and thus the work of seed- ing down to grass in the spring becomes a failure. Spring rye, barley and oats‘should As the warm season advances and e gs] become cheaper, many will be interested in! the best modes of preserving them until| there is a rise in prices. \Ve might easily recommend a dozen methods, but which is ‘ the best cannot safely be answared. AL‘ though solutions of lime, salt and alkalinm substances have been used, as well as cer-i tain acids and antiseptics, yet no single‘ process has met the demand of the poultry- man as infallible. To properly preserve eggs they must be strictly fresh, a rule which must be rigidly enforced, but which is impossible if they are handled by several persons. This precaution is necessary be cause a single stale egg will often spoil all. Then, again, they should be from hens not in company with cocks, as infertile eggs will keep three times as long as will those suit- able for hatching. All these precautions are necessary in the beginning; and next they should be stored in a cool place, in boxes or on racks, and turned three times a week so as to change the positions of the yolks, which sometimes stick to the shells. No liquids or other preserving compounds are necessary. Simply sell your roosters, besure the eggs are fresh, place them on racks without anything around the eggs, turn them three times a week, keep them in a cool cellar, and they will remain fresh for six months. be sown as early in the season as the soil will work well: when delayed until the season is well advanced, should the weather become dry, the seed will fail to grow on the dry places, thus leaving bare spots to be filled in with useless weeds. It is always best to test your seed, no matter whether you have saved it yourself or not. Many farmers think that when they save their owh seed they ere then safe beyond a doubt, and do not give the matter any further attention, but experience shows that this will not do to depend on always, for there are so many causes during the course of a winter, any oneof which would destroy the vitality of the seed, that the farmer is not safe in planting any crop of considerable size without first testing the seed to see whether it is perfectly good or not. This can be easily done by putting a. fair sample of the seed in a box of dirt, and placing the box hack of the kitchen stove, where it will be kept warm most of the time. If the seed is good it will then quick- ly sprout, if the dirt is kept warm and moist. In this way the farmer is enabled to act intelligently. and can easily see just how good his seed is, and whether it is safe to plant lerge crops with it or not. It is indeed very risky business to plant large‘ fields with seed that has not been tested. The work is trifling and it is but a small job to test it, yet it oftentimes results in saving a. big loss. It is stated that a new method of washing butter has been patented in Germany. As soon as gathered in the churn in particles of about a tenth of an inch in size it is trans- ferred to a centrifugal machine, whose drum is pierced with holes and lined with a linen sack that is finally taken out with the but- ter. As soon as the machine is set in rapid motion the buttermilk begins to escape; a spray of water thrown into the revolving drum washes out all foreign matter adherin to the butter. This washing is kept up till: the last drop of water is removed, as clothes are dried in the centrifugal wringer. The dry butter is then taken out, molded and packed. It is claimed that the product thus so fully and quickly freed from all im- urities, without any working or kneading, as a flavor, aroma and grain, and far bet~ ter keeping qualities than when prepared for market in the ordinary way. No farm product of equal value is more unsatisfactory to hold for a rise than but. ter. Its price, when newly made, is nearly always the best. It is subject to greater deterioration in quality than any other pro- duct, and, no matter how carefully protect~ ed, must suffer some in comparison with that which is freshly made. [he old~fash~ ioned dairy butter made in June used to be good for a twelvemonth if packed in sweet cracks and covered with salt brine to exâ€" clude any odors. There is little such but» ter now. That made by the creamery pro- ‘ cess is first-class while fresh, but lacks keeping qualities. As nearly all enterpris- ing dairymen have creameries, there is less really good butter made from milk set in the old-fashioned way than formerly. l‘mxrrso Tum-:3 IN Maxvan.

'l‘he Woodpecker is one of the few birds that remain with us during the winter. though it is hidden in dense forests. so that those who do not get far from the house rarely see it. As it lives during this time on insects burrowing in trees it is a valuable friend of man. It attacks his insect en- emies while they are dormant and unable to escape. This may not seem exactly fair, but the scourge of insects during the season when they are active more than reconciles the farmer to any sdvantave that may be taken against them. In t 0 fight against insects every means of warfare is fair.

The vagueet rumour the slightest whisper that escapes from the Czar's residence at Gatschina is carefully weighed and investigated by President Grevy at the Elysee and by General Bou- langer at the Ministry of \Var, for every- body feels convinced that whether we shall pull through the present summer without war depends solely upon the Czar.

Says a learned authority in reference to diphtheria, sulphur kills every species of fungus in mun, beast, and plant in a few minutes. Continuing, the doctor directs as follows for diphtheria. : ” Put in teaspoonful of sulphur in a wine-ginssful of water, and stir it with the finger instead of n spoon, as the sulphur does not rendil mnnlgnniute with water. When the su phur is well mixed, then it is to be given to the atient to (gargle, and after gurgling to swel ow it, an the patient will be out of danger in a few moments.

Que shovel, and sprinkle a spoonful 0 our in krimstone upon it. Let the sufl'ere l hale by holding the head over it, and the fungus wtll die." HELPFUL ers. The following hints are from two well- known authorities on hygiene: Kiss the children good-night, and let them go to bed in a» pleasant, happy frame of mind. as that condition couduces to refresh- ing slumber. Never scold or ive lectures, or in any way wound a child's eeliuge, as it goes to bed. Children should never wear the ordinary elastic garter, as it causes obstruction 0‘ the circulation. At the bend of the knee the superficial veins of the leg unite and Ease up deeply into the under art of the thig ; thus a garter worn beneat the knee acts as a ligature, and prevents free circulation of the blood. A warm bath early in the day followed by a simple douche of cold water, is far prefer- able to the cold bath for young children, or a warm bath at ni ht for the sake of cleanli. nesa, and none at a lin the morning. It may be taken as a. rule that, in the case of child- ren, sudden changes of temperature are den. gerous, and that fifty-eight to sixty degrees may be taken as the average temperature in which they should be constantly kept. Parents should not allow their children to be waked up in the morning; let nature wake them ; she will not do it prematurely. Have a care, however,that they go to bed at an early hour. Let the hour be earlier and earl- ier, until it is found that they wake natur- ally in full time to dress for breakfast. Be~ ing waked up suddenly and early, and al- lowed to engage in difficult or any study late before retiring, has given many a beautiful. and promising child brain fever. DEATH (mm-:11 THE House. Death lurks under the house in early spring, in shape of decaying and moldy vege- tables in the cellar, and the decomposin remains of weeds and fungi which developc the preceeding season in the damp, dark, unventilated space beneath that portion of the house not included in the cellar. Killed by the winter’s (met, this decomposable matter is ready to send forth the pestiferous- gases and disease-producing germs which cause some of the common maladies incident to spring. Clear away the filth from these oft neglected places, and save sufi‘ering and doctors’ bills. Every experienced physician has encoun- tered cases in which most distressing sympâ€" toms were evidently the result of the con- tinued use of some drug which had long since ceased to exercise any good effect, if any ever had been produced, and which speedily disappeared when the drug was withdrawn. There are thousands of persons who are con- stantly suffering with symptoms which they attribute to disease, but which are reall the result of some patent medicine whic some neighbor has prescribed. Some time ago We were consulted bi a gentleman who was suffering from distur ed digestion, heaviness, skin eruptions, pallor, foul bl eath, iddiness, staggering gait weakness in limbs, diarrhoea, drowsiness, loss of memory. and also of mental vigor and will-power. On in- vestigation it appeared that the symptoms were wholly the result of a medicine con- taining bromide of potash, which the patient had been taking for several months. A The lesson to‘he drawn from these facts is, that drugs should be used as infrequently as possible, and that their use should be dis- continued as soon as possible. It is a. very imprudent thing to take any drug without knowing something of its character and the symptoms to which it may give rise, at least unless it is given by a. physician in whom the utmost confidence can be reposed Particulars of the new cure for consump- tion, discovered by a. Philadelphia doctor, has roused a a irit of emulation in French breasts. Mr. 31], a member of the Paris Academy of Medicine, says he can cure that terrible disease by injections of euca- lyptus oil under the skin. One of the most remarkable pathological cases on record has just occurred at Peri. ueux. A patient in the hospital suffering rom measles jumped out 0 one oi h windows at 4 o’clock in the morning, n fell a distance of four or five yards into the garden. He was at the time at the period of the strongest eruption. Awakened by the pain caused by the fall, he walked about in his nightshirt for some time. the thermom rstanding at8 ° below the freez- ing point, intil he succeeded in waking the concierge, when he ret med tobed. The next day his compla'qiad entirely disap- peared. This mode 0 euro, however, is not generally recommended by the faculty. HAY FEVER.-â€"The time for hay fever to be prevalent is now rapidly approaching, and those who suffer from it will doubtless only be too glad to learn of any successful method of treatment. Dr. \V. T. Phillips, of Audover, recommends im‘ladonna. which he has found successful (I r. Mm]. Jam‘n,’ ‘July H, i333). In the same journal (June 7, p. {090) he gives the dose M I} minima of the succus every hour till relieved (30 min. to 3 07.. of water). For coryzn, Dr. (1. E. Dohson recommends Laurel, May 3|. p. 978 the inhalation of tho vapor of cmnphor mu steam, the vapor being mode to come in con- tact with the outer surface of thofnco, sur- rounding the man by means of o pnpor cone plncotl with the narrow end downward in n vosaoi containing hot Water and n (lrnclnn of coarsely pow'ivrml or shredded comphor.
