How TO BOIL AND SrEw.-To do eth
er properly, the food must be immersed
at the beginning in actually boiling
water must be allowed to reach tho
boiling point again Immediately, and
to boil Tor about five minuteg. Tho
action Of the boiling water upon the
surface of either meat or vegetables Is
to harden It slightly, either juices or
mineral salts. After the pot contain
Ing the food has begun to boil the rec
ond time, 1t should be removed to the
side of the fire, and allowed to simmer
until the food is done. This simmer
ing, or stewing, extracts all the nutri-
tious qualities Of either meat or vege-
tables; the pot should be kept closely
covered unless for Il moment when 1t Is
necessary to raise the cover in order TO
remove the scum. The steam will con-
dense upon the inside OF the cover, and
fall back into the pot In drops of mois-
ture, If the boiling Is slow. Do not
think that rapid boiling cooks faster
than the gentle process [ recommend.
After the pot once boils you cannot
make It's contents cook any faster If
you have fire enough undor 1t to run a
steam engine. SO save your fuel and
add it to the fire little by little, to Keep
the pot boiling. Remember If you boil
meat hard and fast 1t will be tough and
tasteless, and most Of its goodness Will
20 up the chimney, or out OF tho win
dow with the steam.

test for distinguishing colorless gems

through transparent stone at any
small object, such as the point on a

sees two small points, or two small
holes, the stone is not diamond. All
white colorlcss gems, with the except

FARM AND GARDEN.

TRAINING OxsN.-The first thing
necessary in training oxen, Is kindness
then patience. began in November last
not knowing whether could get them
taught in time for this season or at all,
but soon found them so tractable'that
my hopes began to bo raised. 1t took
mo just day to learn that it wasn't
necessary to strike u blow or speak q
word. The. farmers who go along
shouting at their cattle anu goading
them, waste breath and strength. A
dozen yoke OF oxen could be taught to
draw a load hundred miles without
a word or blow. 1t Is only necessary
that the farmer should lead, to show
the direction, and the teasts If kindly
treated and having an affection tor
their master, will do the rest. These
oxen were trained by uniform kindness.
A series Of tricks In regular order
was fixed upon, and l put them
through every day. l was with them
nearly all the time and they followed me
like two pet kittens. There was ring
In the stables where l taught them day
by day. First, with food in my hands,
l got them to follow me around IN any
direction choose to take. In This way
got them to 60 along on their Knees
to waltz. What they knew when l go'
them had practically to be untaught;
as it was all done by 'gee' and 'haw.
l found they were quick Of sight, and
that having taught them :rtatn things
l needed after that to simply get where
they could see me, and TO give them
cue by the motion of my body or my
whip in IL certain direction. In this
way the waltz was taught, and whel
they go around tile ring OH their knee
l keep ahead of them and they follow
