How to Cook Green Peas.

PICK the peas in the afternoon, let them
stand until time to prepare next days din
ner, or, if not convenient to shell them,
until the day after. Put the shelled peas
into large kettle of water, with piece
of pork, and let them cook until they are
boiled out of their skins. That is how
not to treat peas, and yet it is the style in
which many treat one of the most delicate
of vegetables Every hour that passes be-
tween the picking and the cooking of
peas is attended with deterioration in
quality Those who buy peas must sub
NIT to having them stale, but those who
raise them have only themselves to blame
if they do not enjoy them at their best.
Peas should be boiled in just water
enough to cover them 1t should be
sailed and boiling when the peas are put
in. Allow them to boil uncovered The
time required varies with the age of the
peas, from fifteen to twenty-five minutes.
Peas that require longer boiling, or need
the aid of a lump of sods to make them
tender, are not to be considered as green
peas. When the peas are done, skim them
from the water Or drain on a cOlan-
der, and place them in a vegetable dish,
with a good lump of butter. The Eng
fish frequently cook mint with their peas,
and the French stew them with onions,
butter and parsley. These additions dis
guise the delicate flavor. Peas need only
salt and butter; sweet cream is an accept
able substitute for butter.-AnericJn

A PLAsTERER and his boy being en-
ployed to whitewash house by the day,
were so tedious that the owner asked the
lad, in his masters absence, when he
thought they would be done. The boy
bluntly replied that "his master was
looking out for another job, and if he
found one, they should make an end that
week"
A PARTISAN widower, who greatly re-
GREETED his wife, had her buried in the
cemetery Of Mont Parnasse. He put up
no monument of marble or stone-only a
small garden and very small inscription
marked the spot where his lost partner
lay. First some nasturtiums were planted
over the grave-the deceased was fond OF
nasturtiums. These were gathered on
Sundays, and eaten as q salad. This at
tempt having been successful, holder
measures were adopted, and some little
pink radishes grew there as if by chance.
The official in charge of the cemetery said
nothing until last autumn, when he be-
came aware of two enormous melons in
the little enclosure This time police
regulations were put in force, and this
new form of market gardening was
brought to close by the bereaved hus-
band being requested to withdraw from
the cemetery, which he did, complaining
bitterly of the cruelty, and saying that he
had so particularly valued the vegetables
grown upon the grave, and eaten them
with particular satisfaction, because. he
felt they were offered to him by his Zoe

A RETIRED BAKERS RECIPE FOR
BREAD.-Take an earthen vessel, larger
at the top than at the bottom, put in one
pint OF warm water, one and half pounds
OF flour, and half pint of malt yeast
mix well together and set away in a warm
place until it rises and falls again, which
will be in from three to five hours. Then
put two large spoonsful of salt into two
quarts OF water, and mix with the above
rising; then put in about nine pounds of
flour, and work it well; let it rise until
light; then make it into loaves. New and
rdnny flour requires one fourth more salt
than old and dry flour. Bake as soon as
light.
PEACH LEATHER.-Crush the peaches
and force through large colander OF
coarse sieve by rubbing until nothing but
the skin and pits remain in the sieve, the
juice and pulp having passed through
into trough or receptacle. The skins
and pits are thrown away, and the pulpy
substance poured and spread evenly upon
| planned boards with raised edges, to avoid
its running off, or large sheet iron pans
which have been previously creased
These are placed in an oven to dry. WheI
the preparation is sufficiently hardened
it is peeled off from the board or pan an(
packed away for use. 1t is deliciou

state; can be used as sauce, for pie:

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
MuSty Food for Horses.

ONE of the principal and most frequent
diseases among horses and mules, caused
in great majority of cases solely by the
permanent feeding of musty and dusty
food, especially musty hay, as has been
mentioned in previous letter, is the So
called "heaves." Another disease, not
much less frequent, which reduces the
value OF good horse just as much, and
is also caused in many cases principally
by musty oats, musty corn and musty hay,
is the so called "moon- blindness"
In my opinion these two diseases alone
lessen the value of our horses and mules
enough in every year to induce us to con-
slider whether it would be more profitable
to take more pains in the curing, shelter
ing and protecting of the hay, and to take
proper care of the grain, thus avoiding
these losses and having, moreover, a bet
ter market, and receiving higher prices
for the surplus of the grain and hay or
to let it go in tie old negligent way, and
let each take care of itself, not to mention
that Of damaged food, comparatively a
much larger quantity is required to keep
an animal, as some of it Is not digested,
and always great deal is refused and
wasted away.

standing that the same, under ordinary
circumstances, never turn fatal, must be
considered the most important maladies
caused by musty food, on account of their
frequency and their incurability when
ence fully developed, but are by no means
the only ones. Tfere are some other dis
eases and morbid conditions also more fire
quent than desirable, caused by the same
agency. So, a great many, perhaps the
most, cases of indigestion may be con
sidered as either primary or secondary re
suits Of the same. The feeding of musty
oats, and probably of other musty food
too, though in a less degree, exerts a NOR
bid influence upon the functions of tn,
kidneys, and frequently produces a dis
ease known under the name of diabetes
Even cases are on record in which horses
have died in a very short time, almost sud
denly, being poisoned with musty oats
Six such cases are reported by Prof. Var
nell in the thirty fifth volume of the Vet
erinarian. Some cases of typhoid dis
eases, also, are at least partially due t.

A Balloon Duel.

PERHAPS the most remarkable duel ever
fought took place in 1903. 1t was peculiar
ly French in its tone, and could hardly
have occurred under any other than a
French state of society. M. de Grandpre
and nj. lie Pique had a quarrel, arising out
of jealousy concerning a lady engaged at
the Imperial Opera, one Mademoiselle
TireVit. They agreed to fight duel to
settle their respective claims and, in
order that phe heat of angry passion should
not interfere with the polished elegance
OF the proceeding, they postponed the
duel for month-the lady agreeing to
bestOw her smiles on the survivor of the
two, if the other was killed or, at all
events, this was inferred by the two men, if
not actually expressed. The duellists
were to fight in the air. Two balloons
were constructed, precisely alike Onthe
day denoted, De Grandpre and his Sc
cond entered the car of one balloon, LIE
Pique and his second that of the other ;
1t was in the garden of the Tuilleries,
amid an immense concourse of spec-
tatOrs. The gentlemen were to fire.
not at each other, but at each others
balloons, in order to bring them down by
the escape of gas; and as pistols might
hardly have served for this purpose, each
aeronaut took a blunderbuss in his car. At
given signal the ropes that retained the
| cars were cut and the balloons assembled.
The wind was moderate, and kept the bal
| looms at about their original distance of
| eighty yards apart. When about half a
mile above the surface of the earth, pre-
concerted signal for firing was given. M.
| lie Pique fired but missed. M. de Grandpre
fired and sent a ball through LIE p cues
balloon. The balloon collapsed, the car
descended with frightful rapidity, and LIE
Pique and his second were dashed to
pieces. De Grandpre continued his ascent
triumphantly, and terminated his aerial
voyage successfully at distance of seven
leagues from Paris.

To Cover a Steep Bank with Grass.

The following method is recommended
by German horticultural associations:
For each square rod to be planted, take
half pound of lawn grass seed, and mix
it intimately and thoroughly with about
six cubic feet of good dry garden earth
and loan. This is placed in tub and to
it liquid manure, diluted with about two
thirds Of water, is added and well stirred
in, SO as to bring the whole to the con-
sistency of mortar.
The slore is to be cleaned off and made
perfectly smooth and then well watereG
after which the paste just mentioned is
to be applied with trowel and made as
even and thin as possible. Should il
| crack by exposure to the air, it is to be
again watered and smoothed up, day by
day, until the grass makes its appearance
| which will be in from eight to fourteen
days, and the whole declivity will soon be
| covered by close carpet of green.
