Gustav Freytag writes to Tfie Cologne Gazette in reference to a proposal of that journal for a national commemoration of his approaching seventieth birthday.

He has a good coat to his back, shoos to his feet, as much money in his purse as he needs for his daily wants, and is therefore no lit object for charity. Would llicy hand him the money to spend as he might think best for public purposes? That would only give him much trouble, and he would probably spend the money badly. Would they present him with some splendid work of art. That were even worse.

It would be looked at once or twice and then put away, and for tho rest of his life it would be an incessant care to and the rich, moist lands ot tlio west would probably largely increase the product per acre.

It is not Bridget only that needs a half-holiday. Iler unstress wants it no less than she.

It is a great niislako whicli so many housemothers make to crowd Saturday so full of extra work cleaning and baking, and mending and making until midnight commands the needle to fall from tho weary fingers. One of the sweetest and sainlli-est of mothers of tho generation now growing old, used always to call Saturday "The Preparation Day," borrowing the old Jewish designation of the day before the Sabbath. Morning was given to the careful preparation of house and food and apparel for tho morrow; afternoon to the preparation of herself.

Boil twenty minutes as many eggs as there will be people for luncheon, early in the day, that they may have ample time to become thoroughly cold.

When ready to prepare the salad remove the yolks, and chop the whites very fine. Arrange a bed of cresses upon a platter, or place white lettuce leaves in pairs, one leal above the other, and upon them make little nests of the chopped whites of the eggs, and place an unbroken yolk in the center of each nest.

Tho cultivation of the sunflower, says Rural World, is now attracting the attention of many agriculturists, although no concerted action has yet been had in tho matter. It is of easy cultivation, growing freely in all soils, and is not very sensitive to climatic conditions.

Of course the better tho soil the better tho product. Jt is, however, a very ex-haustive crop, taking from the soil a copious supply of potash, and therefore should not follow itself in rotation, unless this ingredient is very fully renewed. In some of the river bottoms and rich moist lands of the west a variety grows wild, and its seed are used by the Indians as food, but the variety II.

On a recent occasion two distinguished Mexican gentlemen of great vealtfi and no end ot inllu nee among the Greasers of their own native wilds reached Chicago in the course of a trip through tlio United States. They had previously visited New York and shoved their highly aristocratic semi-fcjnanish limbs under the mahagony of botuo of tho nabobs of Gotham.

They liad "smiled" with all the highflyers of the East, and then desiring a taste gonniue metropolitan city life, naturally came to Chicago fully prepared C6 be paralyzed by all they saw. Among qjther letters of introduction they bought one to P. D. Armour, tho great pork aristocrat of the greatest pork inarket in the world. That gontleman, Wijth hospitable intent, detailed one of handsomest of his many handsome jjnl able lieutenants to "show the fawn" to these dusky children of the Jtfflntezumas.

"Let joy and champagne fee unconfincd," said the great packer, tifit them revel in truflles and pate de fffis gras and let their stay in our great djjy be a rolling river of joyous oysters ftftd ice cream." 1'he lieutenant, nothing loth, started ojif upon his mission. He took them to tho stock yards, and, while holding coppor-colored noses with one fiand, they murmured in concert: "Immense." Uo drove them over the boulevards and through the parks, and again thej whispered with a sigh: "Immense." Ida took them to Pullman, made the rounds of the shops, showed them the Eifid in Hotel Florence where the Grand uko sleeps when he visits his colony, md as they drove away and breathed tLfl air of freedom once more tho kcep-off-the-grass and don't-you-tftfk-out-Ioud policeman was awakened frotn his customary nap by their swell-ftigchorus of: "hnmense." Hrivingto the new Temple of Mam-ttpn, he pointed them into tho visitors' aSUery of the Board of Trade and broke nito flowing periods as he described the fittniondous financial transactions of the fut and call artists on the floor, and sfcll they answered only this and noth- lag more: JG' Immense." Jlrivcn to desperation by this one jprd of English, which seemed to ex-tVaust their vocabulary, the almost ex-kausted guide determined to play his fast trump, certain to startle them into sn more extended expression of opin-3ns, even if nothing more than a good fcearty Mexican cuss word. Ho drove down Clark street, past the Custom Bou.sa, past the palatial gambling dens, and past the scalpers' offices, and past the bankrupt actors lounging upon tho "Rialto," then stopped at th3 City Hall and introduced his charge to the Mayor of all Chicago.

St. Tames's Qazclte. Hot Corn for Fowls. A correspondent writes: "If you want to make your fowls feel good and thankful give them hot corn for supper just as hot as they can eat it.

To find out how hot it should be pick up a handful and hold it tightly in your closed hand; if it burns, of course it is too hot, but if after holding it a minute it makes your hand feel warm and nice it is just right. To heat tho corn put it in an iron pan or kettle in the stove oven and stir it occasionally. If your wife has biscuit in the oven you better put the kettle on tho back part of tho stove and stir I he corn often. Mind now, I don't mean that you aro to put water in witli the corn; 1 mean hot, dry corn. If some kernels at the bottom of the kettle should get scorched, or cvn charred the hens will eat it.

Kansas. most in cultivation is the "mammoth Russian," which, in good soil, grows to' an immense size, twenty-four to thirty Inches in diameter, and yields a large quantity of excellent seed. In some places, where wood is scarce, it is grown for fuel, the si alks making a very hot, though brief lire. In others it is cultivated only to utilize its seed for feeding stock, as it forms a good winter food for both fowls and horses, giving to the feathers of the one and the hairs of the other a bright' glossy appearance, and making them lively and spirited, by feeding half a pint night and morning.

It is said to give horses a greater power of endurance when mixed with their rations. It is also grown in some localities as a preventive of malarial diseases, its great absorption of nourishment from the air, being supposed to prevent the spread of miasma. In still other places it is grown as a substitute for bean poles, the leaves being stripped off and the stalks still attached to the roots make a good support for the vines. But its chief value lies in the clear palatable oil which can be obtained from the seed, and which is equal as a drying oil to linseed, and superior to that for many uses. There are no mills exclusively devoted to its manufacture in this country, but both the linseed and the cotton-seed-oil mills express it occasionally and are frequent buyers.

It is not cultivated to any groat extent in this country as a marketable crop, but is extensively grown in Russia, where it is said to averajre fifty bushels of seed to the acre, and one bushel of send to field about one gallon of oil. With the improved methods devised by the cotton seed crusbers in this country, it it quite likely this yield could be increased, boiling, force-meat balls are made of a quarter of a pound of lean fresh pork chopped fine, a clove of garlic, a small onion, a tablespoon-ful of parsley, all chopped very fine, seasoned with salt and pepper, and formed into little balls by mixing in a raw egg; the force-meat balls are fried brown, after being rolled in flour. They aro added to the macaroni when it is tender, together with a quarter oi a pound of cheese grated, and it is then served either with or without the boiled pork. Meat Rolls. Ingredients: One pound of minced raw beef, one slice ol bread, one egg, one desertspoonful ol ketchup, a little nutmeg, pepper and salt to taste.

Have the beef minced line and tho bread crumbed put altogether into the basin, and mix the in-gredionts thoroughly; then make it into a nice shape of a roll. Have a saucepan hot, put in a small piece of salt butter; when this is melted, put in tho roll, turning it over till it is nice and brown, then add a little hot water and stew slowly for two hours. Note One tea-spoonful of flour may be mixed up and put into the gravy; shake the pot while pouring it in, after which it can bo poured over the roll when dished. The roll should be cut in thin slices when Berving out i Misled By the Name.

The hours were spent in reading, in still idleness, in looking over and cutting slips from accumulated newspapers, in a walk, a drive, above all in companionship with the children. Many a rainy afternoon was spent in repeating for them the poems with which her richly endowed mind was stored cantos of Scott, sonnets of Shakespeare and Milton, long poems of Goldsmith and Cow-per and Dryden, ballads of Burns and Motherwell, the earlier poems of Longfellow and Tennyson, tho Hebrew melodies of Bynn, the sacred songs of Ke-ble or Newton or Montgomery. Many a winter afternoon was spent in pasting pictures in tbe great scrap-book, which was one of the institutions of tho family, in learning the intricacies of tho Chinese puzzle, or in solving the enigmas and charades of Merry' Museum, tbe one children's magazine of those days.
