J. H. BEENCKBBHOFF'S. Protestant Cow. P a d d y I fnrohy and Lis wife, Bridget, after many years of Lard labor d itching and washing, had ac cumulate^ a snfficientcy (btsidh supporting them selves and tho “ cliilders”) to purchaso a cow, (of course they had pigs!) which they did a t the first opportunity. As it was bought of a Protestunt neighbor, Paddy stopped- on his w ay home a t the house o f the priest, and procured a bottle o f Lply water with which to exercise the false faith out o f her. “ I s n 't she a foino creature V’ asked P a t, of the admiring Bridgot. “ J e s t hould h er till I fix the shed.” T o save the precious fluid from harm, he took it into the house and sat it n p in a cupboard u u t i l . ho had “ fixed” things. T h e n he returned altid brought the bottle b ack again, and while Bridget was holding the ropo, proceeded to pour it upon her back. But poor Paddy had mado a slight mistake.—\ Standing within the same closet was a bottle -of aquqfortis, that had been procured for a far differ ent purpose, and, as it dropped upon the back of the poor cow, and tho hair began to smoke and, the flesh burn, sho exhibited decided appearances of restlessness. “ Pour on more, P a d d y ,” shouted Bridget, aa she tugged at the ropo. “ I ’ll g ive’Lor enough, now,” quoth P a d d y , and he emptied tho bottle. ’ U p went tlio heels of the cow, down wOut her head, over went Bridget aud half a dozen of the “ childers,” and away dashed tho infuriated bovine down the street, to the terror of all the mothers aud the delight of the dogs. \Poor Paddy stood for a moment breathless with astonishment, and, then clapping his hands upon his hips, looked sorrowfully, and exclaimed : “ Be jabbers, Bridget, but isn’t the Protestant strong in \her—the baste 1” Q t j e e i e s to A n g l e r s .—Can the “ skate” be ever considered anything b u t an-iee-fish ? D id “ herrings” originally come from Erin’s Isle ? and, if so, could they by any chance have been tho first “ finny’nns V' Can “ whipping” a stream account in any way for the wails of tho ocean, o r the sighs o f the seas 1 W ould speculating in the “ B a n k ” of Newfound land be necessarily a fisliy transaction 1 In numbering the “ ova of some fish a t millions, isfnot their fecundity rather “ overrated 1” Say that—as is often tbe case—fish were uti lized as manure, would-it take only one hundred and sixty “ perch” for an acre of land I „ Is it a m atter of surprise that a whale generally ends in “ blubber ?” Aro fishes’ scales subject to tho supervision of the Inspector of W eights and Measures, and aro their “gills” of imperial measure?

I f it is very white, w ith a bluish cast, or with white specks in it, refuse i t ; Bccond, examine its adhesiveness, wet and ltnead a little o f it between your fingers; if it works soft and sticky, it is poor; third, throw a little lump of d ry flour against a smooth surface, if it fulls like pow der, it is b a d ; fourth, Bquceze somo of the flour in your hand, if it retains the shape given by the pressure, that too is a good sign; fifth, place a thimbleful of it in the palm of the hand, and rub it gently with the finger of the other hand. If it smoothes down under tlio finger, feeling silky and slippery, it is of inferior quality, though o f fancy brand, high priced and white as the virgin ^snow drift. I t Las been cither too low ground or made from damaged wheat, or perhaps Laving an tin usu al por centum of gluten—murdered with dull burs, and will never make good, light, wholesome bread. B n t if the flonr rubs rough in the palm, feeling like fine sand, and has an orange tint, purchase\ confidently. Flour that will r taud all these teats, it is safe to buy. I t twill not disappoint you.— Such flour, whatever m ay be its branded reputa tion, though its price b e at the lowest figure,' \vill make good, light, nutritious bread. 1 —— « P r e s e r v i n g E g g s f o r W i n t e r . —A coun try minister’s wife writes to T h e Scottish F a r m e r : — “ E v e ry evening I take all the eggs collected during the day, and rub them carefttlly with but ter, or the finest and purcBt lard. Every pore of the shell must b e thoroughly filled, otherwise the air cannot bo excluded. I have ready a box, or tin canister, and plenty of salt. I p u t a layer of salt in the bottom of tho box, and then nlsce in rows of buttered eggs. Go On alternately with layers of eggs and salt until full, leaving room for tbe lid closing firmly. T h e exelusion ofairis tho great secret o f preservation. I havo mnny differ ent sizes of canisters stored in fey pantry (on an open slielf) with preserved eggs. Ti'toso canisters I got from a baker or grocer for a trifle. My one and a half dozen canisters are 3d. each. My larg est size contain ten dozen eggs, and cost Is. The lid is quite as important as the box. Be sure it is clore fitting, otherwise you will be vexed to find itlio eggs like those one gets in London, very un like w i s e like Scotch eggs. Many ladies tell mtv they have particular positions for placing the eggs, but I find mine are delicious after four months, b y merely placing them cmnfortably, without reference to top or bottem.” ( ____ _ X3T W h y is a printer one of the most nnfi r u- nate of men ?
