Another thing, a ( turner, in order ti make ready sale of any kind of produce direct to the cue- ^ tomer, should establish a reputation for , honest dealing*, 1. e., never representlag an article to be a little better than it rmlly la, for oonfldence once lost is never regained. A Mbthod or Gbaftimo.— Having no- ( tioed the much discussed end never dedded qaertlon, "the beat time to . prune," again brought forward, I pro- , pose Uw following vary simple expert- ( meat, by which each orchldlst may do- ; t ermine the question for himself. Cut : a few large limbs fronr some apple tree , la the faU. In the eprtng, In April or | Kay, do the aame, treating the wounds j the aame in both cases. Next fall ex- , amine (the wounds.

An apple . tree la the posture or by the roadside , will answer aa well aa any for the ex- , pertinent.

Americana Abroad. Some of the Americans who visit Europe are such odd personages that it a to not to be wondered at If they give p the people they meet a queer Idea of our F nation. Some of three are very fond of p that they come from a part of o our country where currants are as large m grapes, grapes as big as plums, plums n the size of peaches, peaches like melmelons aa big aa great clothes- baa. Uela, ahd othef things to match. Others Complain If they can not have ice-walcr and griddle-cakes in every European city they visit ; while others again are continually growling and grumbling because waiters and drivers expect small fees, not considering that at home they not only pay very much more at hotels, and for carnage hire, but sometimes are expected to give fees which are ten times aa much aa the poor people of Europe are accustomed to receice. I saw an American girl, whose parents bad become very rich atoce her education bad been finished, who waa walking through the galleries of the Louvre. She had been looking at some pictures by Rariwcl. all of which represented the V^pn Moiy, and turning to a companion Bbe said : " I do believe this painter must have been a Catholic!'But such Americans are not true representatives of their country ; and It is certain that Europe contains no more delightful people than many of our countrymen and countrywomen with whom we become acquainted abroad.— St. Nicholas for Mirth. Everybody looked at them when they entered (the car, which was crowded. And everybody had good reason. He waa a very cleaned -skinned, finely built, well-dressed and very handsome young man— a very good sample of America's best make. Bhe waa a beauty from any point of view— a pronounced beauty of a very pronounced type, a rich brunette. was dressed with exquisite taste. Both were so essy and natural to their manners that it was a pleasure to look at them. A gentleman gave the lady a seat, then another— a good-look tog, wellmannered young man gave hte seat to her escort, very much against the letter's will. The conductor began to coltho fares. lie touched the young man's arm lightly. He suited, thrust hand Into one pocket, then into another. then as the eyes of everybody on him he paused to think. Before he could speak the lady said in low .tones, " How stupid of m'e ! I declare whep you banded me your poekelbsok hold to the store while you turned to catch that child, I forgot to give it back to yon." She banded It out, blushing. He took it, paid the conductor, placed it to hia pocket and the conversation flowed on without a break. Commend me to a woman of tact. A man would never bav» thought of that to a thou.and years. Of course It waa her pock- | etbook. — Not York (Jrapkic. . The " Dlamanta " Spectacles Take M.

HOUSEHOLD. Calf's Head, Terrapin Style,— Cut up pound of cold boiled calf's head into pieces of equal size and set them aside. Put half a pound of butter to a sauceand let It melt. Beat up the yolks of four eggs with a pint of rich cream, with salt, cayenne and a dish of nutmeg. Whisk the butter rapidly, and while doing so gradually add the cream.

To cover the edges ot this and ornament the cushion glue or sew firmly into place a large ortiamgntal button, one on each side. The huge fancy metal buttons of a few years since make very pretty cushions, and fancy disks of mother of pearl, "carved wood, etc.. may also be usedFlorentines.— Roll some nice puff pasta to a thickness of an eighth of an tnch aod lay It on a thin baking tin. Spread oyer it a layer of greengage or any other preserve or jam, and bake it to a moderate oven. Take it out. and when partially cool, having whipped the whiles of two egga with sugar, put the whip over the preserve, and strew some mined almonds aU over the sur. face, finishing with sifted sugar. Put is quite stiff.

Runaround.— A simple and effeg^p ' preventive of the painful runttrou^pU ; been tried with success by He writer, . as it has also been by others to whom 1 he has recommended It Before the sore 1 develops Its approach is indicated by I pain and lnflamallon to the finger above I and close to the nail. At this stage - scratch the nail of the finger affected ■ with a pin or a needle, first from end to end of nail and then across, and the pain will depart. Cold.— Dr. Atlee, of Lancaster, now dcoeaaed, well known to the profession j to this land and in Europe, prescribed ; this simple remedy, which we have ' known to have worked speedily and ' efficaciously to many eases: Bosk flax- | seed to cold water, to which add rock t candy (loaf sugar will answer) and lemj ona sufficient to make a strong lemon- | sde.
