A GOOD Judge of mutton ought to be
wether wise.
4 The simplest and surest test for oleo-
margarine is to heat the substance in
small toy frying. pan. Butter will
gradually get brown and smell nicely.
even when beginning to burn black
Oleomargarine will never get brown, but
will directly, if the heating continues,
change from clear yellow fat to black,
and emit all the while an odor familiar
to those who live near fat factory.
The coal beds are vast Accommodations
of forests and vegetable debris which
were subsequently submerged under
water; afterward formations of the
earth's strata covered them.
EARTHENwARE IN COOKING. - The
flavor of food baked or boiled in earth
enware is said by those who have made
the experiment to be far superior to
that of vegetable or animal food cooked
in the same way in iron vessels, for the
reason that iron is conductor of heat,
while earthenware is non-conductor;
consequently, food cooked in the latter
is rarely ever burned, the degree of
heat not varying perceptibly during
the process of cooking, thus preserving
the favor of what is cooked, as well as
uniformity throughout the substance of
the meat, vegetables or grains, until the
process of cooking is completed. Tho
fire in stove or range that parches and
burns in iron vessels, and either i'm
pairs or spoils the food, is powerless to
injure tho contents of earthenware. So
earthenware takes the premium, as it
deserves to. "0.*@

1S47 by Ascague Sobrero, but remained
unapplied to practical uses until 1864,
when Alfred Nobel, a Swedish engineer,
developed it's industrial value. The
liability to spontaneous explosion and
dangers attending its careless handling,
and its unitness for being kept long on
hand, unless prepared and treated with
degree of care not readily secured in
the army, units it for military uses.
Its economical uses are restricted to
blasting in hard rock or under water.

usually quite sufficient.

A GOOD composition, according to the
Country Gentleman, for rendering
boots proof against snow and wet can 4
be made of one part mutton tallow and
two parts beeswax, melted together.
