BorANIsTs in the Fontainebleau dis
trict of France have noticed consider
able change in the fora of that region
in recent times A number Of SPECIES
have disappeared chiefly on account OF
the severe winters. The winters OF
1864, 1890, 1888 and 1S75-S0 were dis
astrous to vegetation. especially In pla-
ces but little protected by snow. Among
the plants which have been frozen out,
or nearly so, in Central France, are the
maratime pine (the loss of which was Il
national misfortune), the broom heath
er, ivy, holly and box. The elder, the
oak, the chestnut and the walnut have
all been seriously affected. The loss to
the Fontainebleau flora in these and
other species is replaced to some ex-
tent by tbs appearance of various new
species in recent times.
THE exercise that is adapted to devel-
op all parts of the body into natural,
healthy, manner is domestic labor. 1t
is always at hand {; it can be taken regu-
larly every day, and there is such var
iety that almost every muscle can be ex-
ercised. Housework should never be
considered menial or degrading; it is
natures laboratory IN which the girl
may obtain not only the best physical
Development but most valuable know
ledge that will fit her for the practical
duties of life. This training may be
supplemented by other kinds of exerci-
ses; such as walking and out door
sports. The very general introduction
of foreign help into domestic1 SER
vice has proved most unfortunate for
the health of American wemeD.
APPLE PUDDING.-To the pulp of six
baked apples add one ounce of boiled
rice one ouncs Of sugar, the rind and
juice of one lemon, the whites of four
eggs beat the whites thoroughly, stir
altogether, and let it come to "a boil.
Pour this into deep pudding dish, put
it in hot oven; when 1t is of about
the consistency of jelly, take it from
the oven and pour over it a custard made
of the yolks of four eggs, one large
coffee-cup of milk, and two-thirds of a
cup of sugar flavor with few drops
of vanilla cook like any boiled Gus
tard.
SATISFACTORY evidence shows that
great fire must have occurred on the
out-croppings of Nova Scotia coal
district at remote time. From. the
number of ANIMAL rings borne by trees
growing over the spot, it Is estimated
that not less than three hundred years
have elapsed since the fire was extin-
grished But three centuries have not
cooled the ashes, and an area of some
two acres is known to be now abnor-
mally heated to such adegree that frosts
never penetrate far in the severest cold
and snow soon melts.
FnBERT TART.-Grind one-half pound
of filbert kernels with orange flower
water, mix with one-half pound of pow
dered sugar; add gradually eight yolks
of eggs well beaten, two ounces of flour,
and eight whites of eggs beaten firm;
spread this paste out into three layers
of equal size, three-quarters of an irch
thick; bake In moderate oven spread
peach or apricot marmalade between
each layer, and ice with favored ic-
ing.
A SLATE hung in the kitchen with
pencil attached to a string is very con-
venient If the cook OF housewife finds
a lack of anything she can write it on
the slate, and thus save her the trouble
of trying to remember the different ar
ticles which may be wanting through
the day.
A HALF teaspoonful of ammonia
poured into the water in which greasy
dishes and pans are to be washed will
facilitate matters greatly. Dirty pots
and roasting pans should have hot wa
ter with a little ammonia added poured
into them as soon as the meat is remov-
ed, and never be allowed to stand.
Much time and labor is saved by this
plan.
To MAKE gum water for starch, put
two ounces of gum arabic in a pitcher
and pour over it pint of boiling water;
cover and let it stand all night. In the
morning pour it carefully from the dregs
into bottle and cork for use. A table
spoonful of gum water to a pint of or
dlnary boiled starch Will give a beautl-
full gloss to shirt bosom.

cumulator, which will develop consider
able energy for brief period.
