sugar, two cups molasses, two cups
water or sour milk, one and a half tea-
spoonsful soda;do not stir very long;

Sm or Basra—This salad is par~
ticularly good when both beets and pota~
toes are new and tender. Boil in salted
water equal quantities of both, and set
on ice to get cold. Just before serving
cut them into thin but regular slices,
dress with pepper, salt, oil and vinegar,
and garnish with watercress.
Am a fashionable dinner soup is the
first course. All should accept it, even
if it is a kind they do not like, and
know that they will not touch it. Soup
should never be called for a second
time. Take it noiselessly from the side
of your spoon, and never tilt your soup
plate for the last spoonful.
Panssun amount—Cut the chicken
into four parts, boil in as little water as
possible; when done tender take out
the meat, but keep the broth boiling;
pick the meat from the bones, chop it,
and add butter, pepper and salt. Take
all fat from your broth, then pour over
the chopped chicken. Then press it
and serve cold. ,, '
Tar this layer cake: Five eggs, their
weight in fine flour, and also in sugar,
and half their weight in butter. Melt
the butter and mix it with the sugar,
adding the yolks of the eggs, one by
one, beating all the time, and then add
the whites, which have been beaten to
a stiff froth, adding the flour last. Bake
in four jelly-cake tins. Marmalade or
quince jam is spread between the layers.
Streamer) mun—Soak and clean, the
same as for boiled ham; put into a
steamer, cover, and keep the water
underneath boiling briskly. Allow
thirty minutes to a pound ; when nearly
done remove the skin, and place the ham
in a baking pan ; pour over it a little vine-
gar and sprinkle with white sugar ; bake
in the even a few minutes till a nice
brown. This is a nice way to cook part
of a ham; it wastes less than when
boiled.
ENDIVE salad is wholesome and deli-
cate. If the curled endivc be preferred,
lse only the yellow leaves, removing
the thick stalks and cutting the small
ones into thin pieces. The smooth en-
dive stalk as well must be cut fine. It
may be mixed with oil, vinegar, salt
and pepper and a potato mashed fine,
or with sour cream mixed with oil,
vinegar and salt. :When mixed with
this last dressing is usually served with
hot potatoes.
To DYE corrozv GOODS BLACK : For five
pounds goods, boil them in a decoction
of three pounds sumach one-half hour,

AN EXCELLENT rice pudding is made
by this south German recipe: A
quarter of a pound of rice, the same
weight of sugar, one quart of milk, one
pint of cream, half an ounce of gelatine.
Parboil the rice in water and then cook
it soft and thick in the milk, adding
the sugar and some vanilla, and, when
nearly done, add the gelantine, which
has been dissolved in a little water.
When done set it aside to become cold.
Beat the cream to a stiff froth, and mix
it thoroughly with the cold rice. Put
in amould which has been moistened
with cold water and set it on the ice.
A liqueur glass of Maraschino may be
added to the whipped cream. This
amount is sufficient for ten persons.
How TO coon VEGETABLES—Potatoes
and many other vegetables are much
nicer steamed than boiled. It is a
common idea that it requires no skill to
cook vegetables; but many a dinner is
spoiled by neglect in this department
Cook them till done, season well, use
plenty of butter and serve them hot if
you wish them to be good. In order to
. boil vegetables of a good green color,
put them on in boiling water and boil
very fast; do not cover them, and take
them out as soon asdone, or the color
will change. To boil them green in
hard water use a little carbonate or
soda, put into the water before the
vegetables are put in.
A Pnonrmnn'r nosn '
The pages of history are full of deeds
of brave men and triumphs of fair
women whose nosesjvere unduly pro-
minent. If fashion is at odds with such
a feature, then the wise woman who is
thus afflicted will compel fashion to
yield to it, and will wisely avoid the
straight-haired, straightcollsred order
of attire which renders her nose too
conspicuous. She is bound injustice
to herself to do this, for she is dealing
with almost the only feature which no
efforts of hers can change. Experiments
with spring clothespins and compressors
result only in confusion. While an
exaggerated mouth may be modified,
and an expansive mouth concealed, the
nose must be left to itself, naked to the
eye of criticism and the teeth of the
north wind. The fashionable rage for
novelty has much to answer for with
regard to the discretion of “ the human
form divine. ” It has alternately bleached
and blackened the hair, and given to
deadly poisons a permanent place on
the toilet table. It has squeezed the
feet, twisted the ankles and prescribed
a gait that is half waddle and all wobble.
But so long as no question is. made of
introducing the board of the Flatheads
and the foot bandages of China, it may
be assumed that the nose, where bul-
bous, beakish, tiptilted or “sharp as a
pen,” will be permitted to remain
untouched. Whatever its shape, it is
sure to be suited to the other-.features.
Unvexed nature never makes a mistake
in such matters.

INDIAN SUPERSTITIONS.
The Indians behave that thunder is a
huge bird, with green back and gray
breast, and that the flapping of his
wings causes the thunder (some faint
resemblance to the mythological birds
of Jove, who carried the thunder in
their glows). They imagine that the
heavens are supported by four large
poles, resembling large trees; that the
big bird lives in the West, and is only
heard when flying East. This is easily
accounted for by the fact of their storms
almost invariably coming from the West.
They havea superstitious fear of the
aurora borealis, which they call the
“ medicinle fire."

Travelers in the East have frequently
described the multitudes of dogs in the
streets of Constantinople and other
Turkish cities in Europe and Asia.
But, strange to say, the dogs do not go
mad and there are no cases of hydropho‘
bia among Eastern populations. When
aka is bitten by a dog he calmly
accepts his fate, and this is probably the
reason why he escapes an attack of
hydrophobic.
A notable example of the utilization
of smoke is afforded in that case of a
charcoal furnace at Elk Rapids, Mich.
In this furnace, as stated, are manufac-
tured fifty tons of charcoal per day;
there are twenty-five charcoal pits,
constructed of brick, each pit being filled
with 100 cords of hard wood, and then
fired. The vast amount of smoke thus
produced is made to yield acetate of
lime, alcohol, tar and gas. . _
The most picturesque figures in th

The total number of legs they can boast
of is three. Butler lost his right leg at
the battle of Brandy Station on the 9th

‘tlc of Corinth, Miss, Oct. 4, 1862;
Hampton, after riding gallantly through

A popular clergyman recently related

startled at his mishap he let his razor
fall, and in‘falling it cut ofi‘ his toe. A
doctor was summoned, and in replacing

take, putting the nose on the toe and
the toe on the nose. The transposition

venicnce; when he has need to blew his
nose he is obliged to take 03 his shoe.
E. B. Washburne says that Lisle
Smith, the crater, was the first man
who called Abraham Lincoln “ Old
Abe.” It was in Chicago, in J uly. 1847,
when Mr! Lincoln was a young man of
36. At that time he was tall, angular,
and awkward. He wore a straw hat, a
short-waisted, swallow-tail coat, a short
waistcoat, trousers that barely reached
his ankles, ands pair of brogans. See-
ing him on the other side of the street
in Chicago, Mr. Smith called out to Mr.
Washburne and others: :“ There is Lin-
coln on the other side of the street;
just look at Old A ." And from that
time he was Old Abe.
Conductor Murphy, who runs one of
the short line trains on the Milwaukee
Road, passed through a remarkable
experience some years ago. At that
time Murphy was running a train on
the River Division, and in an accident
he had both legs badly crushed by the
cars. The doctor informed him that he
did not think he could recover, and his
only chance was to have both legs am-
putated. Murphy would not consent
to the loss of his limbs, and his relatives
were sent for to be with him when he
died. Instead of dying, however, the
plucky Irishman began to recover.
Now he does not show any lameness,
and he sufferers nothing from the ac-
cident beyond an occasional twinge of
rheumatism.
The peasant Indians of Central
America hold some curious supersti-
tions, of which the following are ex-
amples: When a child isill the mother
takes a drake, singes its tail feathers,
and muttering certain words passes it
over the.patient. A woman feeds a
parrot with a few pieces of tortilla and
gives the child the crumbs which fall
from the beak, as they will make it talk!
Colic is due to the evil eye; in order to
get rid of the disturbing influence the
woman breaks four duck's eggs into a
basin, and, having mixed them with
rue, places the whole under the child’s
bed; if the compound is curdled in the
morning the spirit has departed.
The wonderful stories told of grain
which has been made to grow after
having lain dormant for thousands of
years in the hands of mummies, do not
seem to have any foundation in fact.
Mr. H. R. Parker states, in the Journal
ofScience, that he has investigated all
the cases hecanfind, and shows that
there is not one authenticated instance
of corn found in the mummy having
grown. Some seeds found in mummies
have germinated. but as they produced
plants—oats, for instance-not known
to the Arabs of three thousand years
ago, it seems evident that they were
systematically put in the hands of the
mummies by the avaricious Arabs of
modern days.

SINGULAR CALIFORNIA LIZARDS.
“ There are some curious cases among
the geckos,” said a Los Angeles county
naturalist. “Here is one, dead, that is
called the leaf-tailed gecko. You see,
the tail bulges out soon after leaving
the body, and assumes a leaf or arrow
shape; hence 'the name of the animaL
Now, when the little creature is chased
you will see, and so, naturally, would
think it a part of the tree itself. But
this lizard has a more remarkable
method of escape yet. We will imagine
that you have tried to pluck the leaf.
The animal drops clumsily to the
ground and darts away among the
rocks, where it attracts the attention of
some of the hawks that are forever
prowling around. Immediately a chase
ensues; the bird gains and is finally
about to pounce upon his prey, when
all at once two lizards appear, one mak-
ing off, while the other dances up and
down into the air and along the ground
iua. very mysterious way, so that the
astonished-bird stops and looks. In the
meantime the original lizard escapes;
the other, that is really the tail, soon
becomes quiescent. You see the gecko
has the faculty of throwing off its tail
when hard pressed, and while the pur-
suer'e attention is drawn to the squirm‘
ing member the animal itself escapes."
“ But it loses its tail 2’" suggested the
reporter.
“Only for a time. They canrepro-
duce this organ, and, curiously enough,
sometimes two tails are produced in-
stead of one." .

In France some years ago a convey-
ance of land required twelve adult wit-
nesses, who were accompanied by twelve ’
little boys; and when the price of the
. land was paid and its surrender took
place the cars of the boys were pulled
and they were severely beaten, so that
the pain thus inflicted should leave an
impression upOn their memory, and, if
required afterward, they might bear
witness to the sale. Later, when a
criminal was being executed, parents
whipped their children, so that they
might take warning by the example and
keep in the path of virtue.

Dr. C. E. Saunders states that as no
outbreak of cholera has been known to
occur in a new locality in less time than

clusive that human agencies rather than
climate causes are responsible for the
spread of the disease.
Amember of the Geological Survey
says that Salt Lake will be of great
value in the near future, not only on
account clothe common salt it will pro-
duce, but also for the sodium sulphate
it contains. The latter is separated in
a flocculent precipitate by the cold
weather of midwinter, and annually
thrown up on the shore in enormous
quantities.
The value of the general triangulation

Ohio Rivers become a series of irregular
lakes, without any connection, the local
outlines being too inaccurate to coincide.

In omedical report to the Maritime
Customs of China, Dr. A. Henry refers

On the same day a man committed
suicide in the same way after an alter-
cation with his father. For asimilar

The Weimrr Med. Zeitung describes
Koch, the discoverer of the cholera and
the tubercle bacillus, as being "a

is forty-one. Born in Klausthal, he
studied medicine in Gottingen, and
practised in Posen. He studied micrcs«
capy under Cohn in Breslau, and earned
his first professorship through his inves-
tigations into wound infection and

M. Ballaud asserts that flour kept in
sacks for two or three years is unwhole-
some, because alkaloids are formed in
consequence of the acidity of the old
fiour during the transformation of
gluten under the influence of the natur-
al ferment of wheat. When such flour
is treated with ether and the product
evaporated on a. sand bath, there is
found a fatty matter which has an acid
reaction, exhales a disagreeable odor
, and has an acrid taste. If a little hot
water is added and the mixture per-
mitted to stand over a sand bath a short
time and then allowed to cool, the alka.
loids may easily be recognized on the
glass slides on employing the usual
tests. The reactions maybe obtained
with flour even but ayear andahalf
old, but they are very marked with flour
which had lain two or three years after
having been milled.
Some recent researches appear > to
indicate that the bleaching of sponges
may be more easily and quickly effected
by means ofasolution of bromine in
water, instead of the aqueous solution
of snlphurous acid so generally
employed. One part of bromine
requires thirty parts of water to dissolve
it, it being only necessary then, in order
to. have a concentrated solution of
bromine, to pour a few drops of liquid
bromine into a bottle of distilled water
and then shake it up. The sponges are
immersed in this solution, and, after a
few hours, their brown color will dis-
appear and give place to a much lighter
tint. Upon treating the sponges a
second time in the same way, they will
acquire the desired shade. They are
still further improved by afterward dip.

A. SAD FATE.
A Hindco lady, taking enforced
widowhood as her theme, writes
strongly and bitterly of what she
describes as the “brutalized human
nature" that could lose sight of the
difference between a child widow of six
and a matron widow of sixty; and pro-
vide for the innocent mite that life of
long misery which is the invariable lot
of the Hindoc widow. She tells how,
after the husband’s death. the widow's
hair is cut ofl‘ and her ornaments taken
away; how she must henceforth wear
the coarsest clothes and eat the most
unsavory food. Her presence is shunned,
and she becomes the leper of society,
doomed to pass her life in seclusion.
She goes on to give a striking illustra-
tion of the venerable head of a. Hindoo
family sending out his creatures to hunt
down a. girl of ten to bless his remaining
years, and then turning to his widowed
granddaughter of fifteen and telling her
that her widowhood is a punishment
for the loss of her husband, which can
only be cxpiated by a life of austerity,
devotion and purity.

HOW GLASS EYES WEAR OUT.
The most perfect eyes are made in
Thuringia, Germany, and have a more
natural appearance than any others.
The iris is covered with silver and the
blood vessels with gold, and, when pro-
perly inserted, they will move almost as
readily as their natural companion. Of
course much depends upon the condition
of socket and the state of the muscles as
left by the surgeon. “Our greatest
trouble is the matching‘of the eyes.
You see, eyes wear out, their life being
about a year or a little over, though
occasionally I see one that has lasted a
much longer time. The salt and alka-
line solutions of the tear ducts, however,
have quite an effect on the surface of
the glass, and in the course of time
toughen it, so that a new eye is abso-
lutely necessaryp Here's one,‘ for
instance; you can see how very rough
its surface is, and how its colors are
dimmed to a considerable extent."

farmer whom he saw at the breakfast
table one morning in the leading hotel
at Nashville. ‘
When the waiter handed the rustic
remarked:
“Johnny, just bring 'em all in. I'm
gosh darned hungry, and just got in
Nashville. "
The waiter grinned, and after being
gone for a few minutes, returned with,
dishes that made a great semi-circle
around the stranger's plate. He counted
them all over. and then, with a doubt-
ful look, remarked:
“Looky here, waiter, I don't see any
pie, and I'm fond of pie, too.”
"Say, mister, we don’t set no pie for
breakfast at this hotel. Only have pie
for dinner. "
The country gentleman, with a look
of disgust, turned to Mr. 'Wood and
said:
“ Neighbor, this is a ——- of a hotel."
“ Why l’"
“ Two dollars a day and no pie."
Doc Bamford, clerk at the Burnett‘
House, tells a similar story of aroma
who,once stopped at the Tremont House
in Chicago. He braced up to the hotel
counter and greeted the clerk with:
“ Before I register at this hotel I want

supper. " .
“Well, sir, you can have pie if we
have to order extra pies made. ”
" That’s all right, then. I’ve had pie

that he was staying at the Grand Hotel,
had hired the entire first etnge, and was
dying for love of her. He asked her to
be his wife, but wished that the mar-

The term blue blood, from the Spafiish
phrase sang" seal, is much used without
a very clear idea of its signification.
Its real meaning is-——not that the blood
“ itself is blue (excepting that all venous
blood has a bluish tingel—but that the
persons or class to whom the term is
applied have skins on white and trans-
parent that the veins show blue through
them. and this is taken asacertain indie
nation that the class or persons thus
designated are without an admixture of
races. Any one who has traveled in
Spanish-American countries. or in Spain.
where the term originated, would see at
once its applicability. The descendants
of the Gothic conquerors of Spain retain
to this day the characteristics of their
ancestors-the white transparent skin,
blue eyes and auburn or tawny hair,
and their veins show blue through their
cuticle; but in case of an admixture of
African or Moorish blood, the blue
blood (veins) gradually disappear, until ‘
in case of a great preponderance of the
latter races the veins show merely as
ridges. Tourists in Mexico will notice
this peculiarity in all of the Mexican
cities as well as in the hacienda: through-
out ~that country, on account of the
