beef, four ounces of pearl barley, one
potato, salt and pepper to taste, one
quart and half of water. Put the in
gradients into saucepan and imme
gently for four hours. Strain, return
the barley and serve. An onion added
is an improvement. This is good
soup for invalids.
BOILED CUsTARDs.-Scald three pints
of milk and pour into four eggs and
the yolks Of two more beaten with six
sroonfuls of sugar and pinch of salt;
pour into a pail and set in kettle of
boiling water, and stir for minute or
two till it thickens; favor with vanilla
and pour into your glasses; beat the
whites of the eggs to a stiff froth; add
three teaspoonfuls of sugar, and when
the custaris are cold drop spoonful
into each glass.
APPLE TRHIE.-Scald as many apples
as when pulped will cover the dish you
design to use to the depth of two or
three inches. Before you place them in
the dish add to them the rind Of half q
lemon, grated fine, and sugar to taste.
Mix half pint of milk, half pint of
cream and the yolk of an egg. Scald it
over the fire, keeping it stirring, and do

The Stre,agtH of Paper.

One of the most remarkable things
about paper is its strength. Take, for
illustration, bank note of the Bank Of
England. These notes are made by a
peculiar process. which is known only
to the English mints.
The process is such as to make the
linen fiber into the paper without de-
stroying any Of its strength. You can
take five pound note of the Bank OF
England and twist it into your fingers
into kind of rope, and you can then
suspend 329 pounds upon one end
it, and not injure it in the slightest.
There is another odd article-a small
kitchen or house truck on wheels, used
for wheeling loads around the house.
The sides and bottom of this are very
thin, but made of finely compressed
paper, and it is capable of bearing a
weight of five tons. There are bath
tubs and pots made in the same man
ner, by COMPRISING the paper out of
linen fibers and annealed-that is,
painted over with composition which
becomes part of the paper and is fire.
proof.
The tubs will last forever and never
leak, or you can pat them in the fire
and they will not burn up. 1t is
almost impossible to break them, as you
can beat on them with hammer and
not injure them in the least. At the
Atlanta exposition was bust of Presi-
dent Garfield made of paper pressed
over mold and made very solid. In
making such articles as these it requires
but very little pressure. Dinner plates
are made of paper compressed and an
nealed, and are also very durable; you
can wash them and not iniure them in
the slightest, or can drop them on the
floor and stand on them. The plates
are cheaper and much handsomer than
china ones scdswill come into use
Knives and forks are made in the same
manner as the others, by compressme

The "StaIed Plains" of Teras.

A correspondent of the Rail,cay Age
says: At Big Springs commenced one of
the surprising and interesting portions
of my journey. From here westward
for hundred miles stretches ont the
great Llano Estacado, or Staked Plains
of our Biographies, supposed desert,
treeless sad waterless. I would here
express the wish that it may take its
place wfththe Great American Desert
among the geographical myths. In
point OF fact it is an elevated rolling
table land, rising gradually toward its
center, where it attains height
of $500 to 5000 feet above the
sea level. It has rich prairie soil, and is
covered with luxuriant growth Of
grass. The outlook for water supply is
not, at first sight, promising, there
being throughout all its extent abso-
lutely no running water, and when the
railway engineers reached this portion
of their work they were prepared to
encounter the dearth of water as the
chief difficulty they had to contend
with. This anticipation was dissipated
with the first we'll they sunk, for an
abundance of water was struck at q
distance of forty feet below the surface.
Since then every we'll sunk has yielded
the same result, and the division Of
the road over the Staked Plains to-day
has the best water supply on the whole
line. 1t seems that the whole country
is honeycombed with subterranean
water courses, the wells reaching water
at depth varying from thirty feet to a
little over fifty in one instance. The
water is good, soft, clear water, and-the
wells all through the severe drought
of this fall have given no sign of any
failure in supply. So far as observa.
tion has extended, ut has shown that
the rainfall on the plains is quite as
heavy as, if not heavier than, in Eastern
Texas.
Another genuine surprise was in store
for US on the "plains." Last June and
July, when the road was under con-
struction, men were pitched on the
ground close to the right-of-way, and
in feeding their stocks portions of corn,
oats and barley had been split on the
ground. 1t had taken root in the sod
without having been planted, and as
we passed by there stood IN patches
along the right-of-way fully developed
oats and barley and stalks of corn that
measured lat least four feet in
height, with full sized ears upon
them. In short, it is country that is
capable Of becoming the granary of the
Southwest, and @t its elevation whea
culturewiH Ia all probability be very
successful. The plains are the range
of immense herds of antelope and oc-
casional buffalo, and marvellous stories
were told us of their racing the trains,
and of shooting them from the cars
but we were evidently not there on a
good day for them, as we did not catch
glimpse of either, and had to con-
tent ourselves with the sight Of an oc-
casional coyote and the ubiquitous
prairie-dogs.

Oats grown on clay land make the
best meal, keep longest, and bring the
highest price.
A tablespoonful Of csrbolic acid in
two gallons of water is said to prove as
destructive to the currant worm and rose
bug as hellebore.
Carbolic acid is very useful as a pre-
ventive of insect rayages. Radishes may
be protected from maggots and orchards
from borers by it's use.
Professor Riley says that the heat and
drought of the past summer have killed
off the Hessian fly, and that immunity
from it's attacks may be expected for
ONE years to come.
The garden should be napured and
plowed il, winter SO as to give time for
the fresh manure to be changed into
plant food, and to kill the eggs OF in
sects. It is prime necessity to good
crop of garden vegetables.
Never get q hen in a box above the
ground or floor of the chicken-house if
possible to ido otherwise, as the eggs
dry too fast and lose their vitality.
Much better success may be expected If
the nests are made upon the ground.
The staple ration for a COW is fifteen
pounds of hsy and five pounds Of meal,
or the equivalent in other food. As
grass or green fodder contains seventy
five per cent. more water than hay, four
times as much grass or green fodder
should be given in place of hay; that
is, sixty pounds with the meal. Some
COWS will probably require more and
very few less than this quantity.

How TO Break OF Bad Hnbits.


Understand the reason, and all the
reasons, why the habit is injurious.
Study the subject until there is no
lingering doubt in your mind.
Avoid the places. the persons and the
thoughts that lead to temptation.
Keep busy. Idleness is the strength
of bad habits.
Do not give up the struggle when
you have broken your resolution once,
twice, thousand times. That only
shows how much need there is for you
to strive.
When you have broken your fesolu-
tion Just think the matter over and en-
deayor to understand why it was you
failed, so that you may be on your
guard againsta recurrence of the same
circumstances.
Do not think it an easy thing that you
have undertaken. It is folly to expect
to break off habit in day which may
have been gathering strength in you
for years.

Two thousand pounds Of opium,

ors who had been warned that such an
adventure was on foot. Before the
opium could be landed, however, it was
pounced upon by two officers who had
been detailed to patrol the water front,
and each of them will get about $1,000
for his nights work-one-third the
value of the prize. People interested
in such matters are now trying to ascer-
