THE ARISEN SPRING. From fmla's coasts of flame, From islands purple and red, The wind of the Resurrection came And the Earth gave up her dead. The primrose blossomed fair In meadow, valley and heath, And thrilled were the deeps of the wild spring oil By the hyacinth's passionate breath The wind-flower's morning star In twilight hollows shone, And the hills were clasped, near and far, By the violet's azure zone. The red-vine blazed in the shade Of the laurel, solemn and cold And the wood-wort flashed her golden blade From its sheath of the rich, dark mould. Wild, flickering shades were flung From fluttering leaf and wing, And the breezv woods and the uplands rung With the. voices of the Spring; For the motives of life were stirred, And the powers to be and grow, Were quickened to struggle for sun and breath In the violets under the snow. From goblets cloudy and fine, From fountains dewy and cold, The sweet sunshine, like a delicate wine, In billowy oceans rolled. From the islands and the sea, From the woods and the teeming sod, There floated a wonderful melody, Whase awful burden waa—aoD

LARDER. In summer keep a pan of charcoal in the men; larder, for it greatly helps to keep all sweet auc wholesome.

KEEP SPICES In boxes or canisters, and shut them up tightlj as soon as the quantity required is taken out.

TURPENTINE Should be sprinkled in cockroach haunts; it wil often quite destroy the pest, but will always dis. perse them.

FOR BEI«' STINGS. Apply tobacco damped with cold water, as it greatly relieves the pain, and lias the advantage o: being easily procurable.

TO REMOVE VARNISH, First rub with sandpaper and then with a flanne. moistened with spirits of ammonia. This is a slow process, but I have found it effectual.

IN JAM-MAKING, One of the most common faults is to add too mucl sugar. The usual rule, pound to pound, is quite correct for acid fruits, but with the sweeter kind Ii less proportion is preferable. .!t*

NETTLE BEER. After removing the stalks from the nettles, boil one gallon of leaves in about two gallons of water, and add one pound of brown sugar with half au ounce of ginger to every gallon, of liquor. When nearly cold ferment with yeast and bottle at once.

TO POLISH MARBLE. -Dissolve six ounces of pearlash in a quart of boil. ing water, add a quarter of a pound of white wax, and simmer all together for half-an-hour. Set this to cool, remove the wax from the surface, work it into a soft paste in a mortar with a little hot water, and apply as a polish to the marble.

PARSLEY TELLY.—Take a panful of fresh pArslsy, perfectly washed and picked; nearly cover it with water; let it boil for half an hour pour it then through the jelly bag to every pint of juice add one pound of sugar and the juice of a lemon to each two pounds. Boil like other jellies. BUTTER BIBCUITs.-Half a pint of milk, tw< ounces of butter, one and a half pounds of flour, twe ounces of sugar. Warm the butter and milk mix the flour and sugar together, add the milk and butter, and knead until quite tough roll out and cut into biscuits prickle over and bake half an ounce of carraway seeds may be added if liked. FEATHER CAKE.-One tablespoonful of butter, om teacupful of sugar, oiie and a half teacupfuls of flour, half a teacupful of milk, two eggs, and one tea- spoonful of baking-powder. Beat butter and sugai together and a little of the milk add flour and baking-powder, a little at a time-; lastly the eggs, beaten vpry well, and the remainder of the milk. Bake in a hot oven. WHIPPED GEE AM.—Take one quart of thick swee! cream, one day old, put in a basin or earthen dish; and set in a pan of cracked ice, beat with an egg beater. When it gets thick on top, skim off, and put in a separate dish beat again, skimming off the top as it gets thick when it is all thick, sweeten and flavour to taste. Serve in sherbet glasses. Serve with cake. ROMA.N PIE.-Line a pie-dish with short paste, .then fill with layers of nicely boiled macaroni, then slices of cooked veal or other white meat, grated Parmesan cheese, a little cayenne pepper, salt, and finely chopped onion. Pour in sufficient milk oi ,cream to moisten the whole. Cover with short crust and bake thoroughly. Serve when cold, turn out of the pie-dish. The remain of a boiled fowl also make up well in this pie. NICE TEA CAKE.—A quarter of a pound of butter, ten ounces of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking- powder, two ounces of fine sugar, one ounce of peel, two eggs, four ounces of sultana raisins, half a gill of milk, lemon sauce. Put the butter in among the flour, and baking-powder, sugar, peel, finely-shred raisins.

Beat up the egg very well, and reserve a little of it, then add the milk, and pour all in among the flour, etc.; have an oven-shelf well greased, put the mixture out in spoonfuls,brush ovoi the top with the egg; dust some rough sugar over them, and bake in a good oven. BiRAIN PATTIES are a decided delicacy, and will prove a good supper disli., Take some calf's brains which have beeu boiled, add a hard-boiled ogg, chopped small. Flavour with a little chopped oars- ley, a suspicion of lemon peel, a small pinch of powdered, mace, pepper, and salt. Moisten with cream or a little white sauce. Make some puff-paste, line half-a-dozen patty-tins with it, arid fill with the mixture; moisten the eggs with water, and cover with paste. Brush the patties over with the yolk of an egg, and bake in a quick oven for ten or fifteen minutes. These patties can be made equally well of cold chicken and a little chopped ham. POTTED BEEF.—Slice four pounds of lean raw beef, and beat the slices with a rolling-pin. Sprinkle over them about half a teaspoonful of powdered all- spice, pepper and salt to taste, and add a pinch of cayenne. Leave the meat in a cold place with the spice, and turn it once or twice. Then place it in a jar, and add only just enough water to cook it.. Tiq some paper over the top of the jar. Cover with a saucer, and cook in a slow oven for six hours. Let the meat stand in the jar till cold, then pound it to a paste, using a little gravy in the process, and add- ing more seasoning if necessary. Place the meat in small jars, and run a little melted butter over it. j This will keep for some time in a cool place, and when served may be cut out, in thin delicate slices, with a very sharp knife.

The Cycling World. ';) -:0:- {Ø t4Jj One would imagine that the first cyclist to be letually llred at within a battle range would have been looked for in the Transvaal War, or perhaps in the Spanish-American campaign, but this honour or rather risk was achieved as far back as the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. In the N.C.U. Review, we read that Mr. R. B. Turner, just before the siege of Paris, when the city was practically hemmed in all round, succeeded in escaping, when all other methods of travelling was ended. Just prior to fleeing from the be- leaguered city some sharpshooters fired a volley but he finally escaped unscathed on his high bicycle, or rather what was originally the fore- runner of the present day machine—the bone- shaker." And, fortunately for the pastime, he was not killed, because he had the honour of introducing the first bicycle into England. Orig- mally he ran a riding school in Paris, in 1868, and there was such a demand for machines at that remote period, that he persuaded his uncle, the then manager of the old Coventry Machinist's Co., to undertake the manufacture of the new French "toy." A first order of many gross of machines proved a convincing argument, and since then Coventry has never looked back, and has "remained the centre of the world's cycle trade. .<$— A rough edged instrument should never be used in removing a Dunlop cover, as by so doing the fabric is liable to be torn from the wires, and a burst may result. Most Dunlop tyres can be detached with the fingers alone if the directions are properly carried out; but in the event of one being rather stiff, a small smooth lever, such as a handle of a tooth brush, or something similaty may be carefully used. It is however, very seldom that any trouble is experiencedin removing outer covers, even ladies and children now attend- ing to their own Dunlops. There is always an element of danger in riding over unk-nown roads after nightfall, and those forced to do so should exercise additional care and have their machines well equipped with reliable brake power. A case reported this week emphasizes this very forcibly. Two cyclists oni tour in north Cheshire, arrived at a town late at night, and although tired out by the result of ft days' hard riding, determined to push on to the next stopping place that night. About four o'clock next morning, a collier found one of the wheel- men at the foot of a steep hill; he was standing by his wrecked machine in a semi-dazed condition, bleeding from many cuts, and in a field some twenty yards away, the other rider was lying un- conscious. A cart was secured, and the men removed for medical treatment. All the riderfi could remember was that they did not know the road and lost control of their machines. Over- fatigue might be largely responsible for the accident, as it is well known that when the systetidti becomes very exhausted, one is liable to ride in a careless manner, not realizing the presence of danger. However this may be, it is apparent that the bicycles were not properly provided with brakes. Possibly they were old machines with fixed pedals and only a plunger brake acting on the front tyre. The riders, it is stated, were tired out after a days' ri'de, and anxious to reach their journey's end. Naturally, they were making all speed down any declines they came to, and, probably, on the fatal hill, when they found the machines gaining the upper-hand they assisted the brake by back- pedalling but the tired muscles were useless, and they dashed down, with the serious result men- tioned. Riders do not seem to realize the im- portance of having effective brake power. There is a sense of security in a well-braked machine, which will enable a rider to descend the steepest hill without fear. Policemen in all countries are alike in one re- spect they all consider themselves splendid judges of paee. A novel guessing contest was recently held in New Jersey. Many members of the force, together with a large number of spectators, were asked to guess the speed several motor cars ran over a distance between two given points. there was no guess which came within 6 miles of the actual speed, and many guesses were as much as 12 miles an hour out. One important and notice- able fact was, that none of the spectators under- estimated the speed, which is evidence of the man- ner in which motor speed is usually exaggerated. For being impudent and refusing to make way for a cyclist who was also a police constable, a driver of a cart was at the Newport police court fined ten shillings and costs or in default seven days' imprisonment. He was unaware of hia man's identity. A rim of badly tempered metal or unskilful construction will, on impact with a large stone or- other object on the road, assuredly develop a kink. When the brake is applied there is, con. sequently, a most awkward "jumping sensation. A rim that is thoroughly tested before leaving the works and should, if properly built up, stand any strain, is the Dunlop-Welch, and it is fully guaranteed. What is the best course to adopt in the event 01, being overtaken by a fierce thunderstorm? All kinds of suggestions have been made, but probably the most outlandish recommendation ie to rush for shelter under the nearest tree. Nothing could be more dangerous. No shelter of any kind should be sought, and paradoxical as it may appear, the wisest and safest plan is to ride right in the middle of the road. If the rider is possessed of a cape he should at once protect himself from the elements, and it also serves alike to reduce the risk of being struck by lightning, the rubber serving as an insulator. A most remarkable and narrow escape occurred recently in London. A cyclist just in the act of dismount. ing had his machine struck by a flash of lightning Fortunately the rider received no damage, but the machine presented an extraordinary spectacle. The wheels were doubled up in serpentine fashion and the tyres exploded with a loud detonation, whilst the frame assumed a zigzag appearance, the brazing at the joints it is said even showing signs of becoming fused. The cyclist regards hit escape as a marvellous one. It is more of a miracle that he was not scorched to death,
