How TO Cook BEAHs.-The value Of
beans as food Is not sufficiently appre.
ciated. They have even a remedial
efficacy In some forms of diseases, par
ticularly those Of a pyamlc character,
like ~scrOfula. They contain an oil
which induces a mild activity OF the
a%limentary canal, and thus helps TO dis
pose Of the effete matter or poison In
the blood. Most people think they
know how TO cook beans, but there Is
scarcely one In a hundred who can pro-
duce an excellent dish of them for the
table; aud as ordinarily brought on
they are utterly unfit for the human
stomach. Rarely cooked enough, sat-
urated with salt, pork and grease, they
become an element hostile to normal
gastric action, and where frequently
eaten they will destroy the solvent
power OF even the strongest stomach.
There is a clo~se-grained tenacious hull
upon both beans and peas. This hull Is
composed of ~cellulose or woody fibre,
to dissolve which a long continued and
rather high temperature is needed /;
and unless it be dissolved this shell can
not be digested. The cooking process
must dissolve it, else the mass must be
strained or sifted, so as to remove the
skin. IL beans are cooked In a double
boiler, a boiler having a water-jacket,
as they should be, they can be kept on
the fire all day without burning. We
do not approve of baking as a mode of
cooking beans and peas, for the reason
that 1t is not sufficiently thorough /; they
need water, and plenty of it. A soup
is the best form of bean food. 1t should
be made quite thin and strained, and
should form, when cold, a solid jelly.
Such bean food eaten with a little
cream and sweet bread Is delicious.

No soup, No Dinner.

"But you must have it," said Barney ;

stop Drinking Vinegar.

How many young women who have
inherited a predisposition to embonpoint
have ruined their health by drinking
vinegar to reduce their forms to grace
full proportions. Allan's Anti Fat is
absolutely harmless. 1t promotes d.
gestion, and accomplishes It's work
simply by preventing an undue assimi-

burden, and there is no longer any ex-

Nerve Inauletude and iss Remedy.

Restless nerves, at least those that are con-
stantly 30, are weak ones ss well. The true
way to ~tranquilize them thoroughly ID to
strengthen them. 1t may be, nay it very often
is, necessary to have recourse to a sedative or
even an opiate, in dangerous cases of nervous
inquietude, but the continued use of such un-
natural palliatives, is greatly to be deprecated.
Though not, in q restricted sense, a specific
for nervousness, Hostetter's Stomach Bltters
is eminently calculated to allay and eventually
overcome it, a fact which the recorded exper-
fence Of many goes to substantiate. This in
estimable tonic, by promoting digestion, assim-
ilation and secretion. touches the three key
notes upon which the harmony of all the
bodily organs depends, and the result is that
fresh stores of virility are diffused through
the system, of which the nerves receive their
due apportionment, and grow tranquil as they
gather strength.

Tho Devils Fruit.

Potatoes were first introduced at Mos
COW by a Mr.. Rowland, eighty or ninety
years ago. At first the people would
neither plant nor touch them, saying
they were the DEVILS fruit given to him
on his complaining to God that he had
no fruit, when he was told 10 search In
the earth for some, which he did and
found potatoes. A curious Berwick
shire legend which, however, is palpa.
bly, a~chronicle attributes the intro
ductiOn of potatoes into Scotland Il that
famous wizard Of the North, Sir Mich
ael Scott. The wizard and the devil,
being in partnership, took a lease Of the
farm oil the Martoun estate, called
Whitehouse. The wizard was to man
age the farm, the devil managed the
capital. The produce was to be divi-
ded as follows: The first year Sir Mich
ael was to have all that grew above
ground, and his partner all that grew
below; the second year the shares were
to be the opposite way. His Satanic
Majesty, as is usual in such cases, was
fairly Overreachcd in his bargain
for the wizard cunningly sowed all the
land in the first year with wheat and
planted it with potatoes the second, so
that the devil got nothing for his share
but wheat stubble and potato tops.
And this scOurglng rotation, Sir Mich
ael continued, until he had not only
beggared his partner, but exhausted
the soil. In spite of this legend, how
ever we must continue TO give credit to
Sir Walter Raleigh for having been the
introducer of potatoes into that coun-
try. The first that tried them, we are
told, fell into the very natural mistake
of eating the apples and %disregarding
the roots.

feet which steam exerts on timber and

compressed air will not frighted horses
so much as the putting of a steam en-
CINE, but it is not pretended that it will
be less expensive; 1t would avoid the
labor of firing and the annoyance Of
ashes and coal gas, that are the most
disagreeable features of the steam cars
on elevated roads. AS a substitute for
horse motive power in cities, it seems
probable compressed air may be the
most convenient agent, with reservoirs
for the compressed air located at inter-
walls throughout the city, and engines
attached for COMPRISING the air; these
might be placed in vaults under the
sidewalks, and carriages and wagons
might be arranged with reservoirs
which could be charged as often as de-
sired at these street receptacles this
operation occupying but a few minutes
and 1t would require but a very small
reservoir to contain, under the very
high pressure assumed, sufficient power
to run a carriage three or four hours.

FARMERS SHOULD THINK.-There isno
business with which | am acquainted
which affords greater scope for thought
or which is more provocative of reflec-
ton, than farming. The careful farmer
must be daily meeting with subjects
which challenge thought and require
the most profound study. Farmers
ought to be the most thoughtful class of
people in the country. The balancing
of cause and effect in a business wherein
a thousand causes areoperating demands
more thought and a more philosophical
mind than any other business whatever.
1t is possible for farmers to get into the
ruts, and 90 In the beaten track year
after year, without thought; but such
farmers are not successful, and each
year are becoming less so. Whenever
a farmer gets out of the r~uts-ceases to
do things because IL has always been
the practlce-he necessarily has to think.
1t Is pretty safe to ssy that such farmers
will be sure to want all the agricultural
books and papers they can get. And,
as thinking men ultimately must always
supplant those who do not think, the
problem how farming Is to be made sue
cessful and the farmer more honored,
will be settled, as so many like problems
have been, by the Darwinian law-"the
survival of the tittest.

WHY FKRMENT MANURE.-We fer
ment manure for the same reason that

cesses add nothing to the amount of
