Houses Built by Chlldless
Men.

One of the shows of Buf1a o is
the palatial residence Of William
G.. Fargo, the express man.
With the exception, perhaps, of
Stewards big marble house in New
York, it is the most costly and
pretentiOus private residence in
America. 1t is an odd freak in
human nature that such men
chiIdiess, or almost without lami-
ly, should have such a mania for
erecting these huge structures for
a home. A. L. Stewart, without
chick or child, builds a great cold
gloomy ediice Of marble, that
looks more like public building
than private house, and Fargo,
with no living children puts up
this immense structure that tow
ers above Buffalo almost as the
capitol does above Washington
A letter writer says: GAS we drove
past the house in the chilly au.
tum evening light in one of the
smallest rooms of the great build
ing, showed where the little
group of occupants had gathered
for snugness. Mr.. Fargo, the
founder OF the express business in
this country, is much esteemed

How to Cook a Turnip.

/ will ask the reader to cook
two turuips in two different ways.
The first is to be peeled and sliced,
and lett to soak in cold water for
an hour or more. The slices are
to be boiled until quiet tender, and
then are to be drained, and nicely
smashed with butter. This is the
most common method of cooking,
and it has the demerit of washing
out the gum and the sugar and
the other finer constituents of the
root, and consequently the flavor
is very much reduced. The 9th,
er root is 10 be washed very clean;
bat it is not to be pealed, or cut
or soaked. Boil it whole, in its
Jacket 1t will take twice as
dong to cook as the one that was
cut. When by trying it with a
fork, you find it quite tender,
take it up, peel it, press it moder-
ately, and mash it with butter
You will be surprised ct the diff
ference. Instead OF being, as-per-
haps you will expect, strong
crank" or "bitter," it will be de-
liciously full favored, and will
contain all the nourishment that
was in it before it was cooked
