How MacarOni Got its Name.

Macaroni is eaten with relish equally
by all civilized European peoples. At
the commencement or the close of a
dinner, in the character of sweet or OF
savory alike, it is deservedly as popular
without as within the frontiers OF its
native land. But the incident which
originally gave it its name is, we'venture
to believe, known to few of those-even
in Sicily, its birthplace--who hold it in
the highest esteem. Once upon time
wealthy Palermitan noble owned a
cook not only accomplished beyond
compare in the practice of his profession,
but gifted by nature with an inventive
genius. One day, in rapture of cult
nary composition, this great artist de-
vised the farinaceous tubes which all
love so well, and the succulent accesso-
ries of rich sauce and granted
Parmesan familiar to those who
have partaken of macaroni al
sugo'' in Southern Italy. Having
filled a mighty china bowl with this de-
licious compound, he set it before his
lord-a gourmet Of the first water-and
stood by, in deferential attitude, to watch
the effect of his experiment. The first
mouthful elected the ejaculation,
"Carin' automatically equivalent to
"excellent'' in English, from the Illus
trious epicure. After swallowing Sec
ond modicum, he exclaimed, "Ma,
cari'' or Excellent, indeed" Pres
entity, as the flavor Of the toothsome
mess grew upon him, his enthusiasm
rose to even higher flights, and he cried
out in a voice tremulous with joyful
emotion, .'Ma, caronir' y" Indeed,
most Supremacy, sublimely and super
latively excellent" In paying this YER
bal tribute to the merits of his cooks
discovery, he unwittingly bestowed a
name upon that admirable preparation
which has stuck to it ever since.-Lon-
don TeIe1rnDh.

Lessons Of the Drought.

Among the many valuable lessons
taught by last summers drought there
was none more strongly impressed than
the benefits which are to follow the ear
ly seeding and the careful cultivation of
corn. Nearly every neighborhood af-
forded samples where forty acres plant
ed in April or the first week in May,
and cultivated during the summer,
yielded more at harvest than five times
the acreage planted two or three weeks
later, and tended in the common way.
Indeed, the facts, and the people on the
black prairie soil, whether in Illinois,
Iowa, or elsewhere, begin to see and ape
preciate it, that for the small grains,
where the soil is in good condition, and
the farmer does his part of the work,
entire failures rarely occur, and half
crops are less than one out Of five, while
for the corn crop, failure does not
occur once in a generation.-Prairis
Farmer.

The taste of ginger cookies can be
improved by using half a cup Of cold
coffee instead of water. There is al

breakfast OF, if not, put little water

to flavor the cookies.

1t will be surprise to some good

coed exactly as for ordinary frosting. 1t

The New England Homestead, upon
the subject of soils, correctly says: The
qualities of heating and Of retaining
heat are very different. We often hear
the term, :" a cold, wet soil.' A wet
soil warns slowly, because water won't
heat from the top quickly. But when
once warmed it holds its heat longer,
and at night is as warm if not warmer
than dry soil. This has been proved
by repeated experiments at the Agrl-
cultural College. Since wet soils are so
retentive of heat they are preferable for
some plants on this account, The main
thing necessary to have these produce
good crops is to aerate them thor
oughly, so that the chemical action
necessary to produce plant food may
| on.

At What Hour of the Day Law Takes
Effect.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has rendered an elaborate opin-
ion on question as important as it is
curious. On the I'd of July, 1870, the
town of Louisville, ILL.,, voted to issue
certain railroad bonds; but on the same
day a Constitutional Amendment pro-
hibiting towns from issuing such bonds
was carried by a popular vote and took
effect Immediately. The question as to
the validity of the bonds went to the
Federal Supreme Court.
1t has been held in many cases that
the law does not recognize fractions or
divisions of day, and hence that a
Legislative or Congressional act or a
Constitutional Amendment goes into
operation on the morning of the day on
which it was passed or adopted, and
consequently embraces the entire day.
Thus the United States Supreme Court
decided that President Johnson's procla-
nation Of June 10, 1865, removing all
restrictions on internal, domestic and
coastwise trade, took effect at the be-
ginning of that day and applied to all
the transactions of the day. According
TO LnlS pTluclplc tuc AouIosuc JULIUS
would have been invalidated by the
popular ratification of the Constitutional
Amendment on the same day on which
the bond-vote was taken.
Butth are exceptions to this general
rule. at is true" says the Supreme
Court, "that for many purposes the law
knows no division of day, but when
ever it becomes important to the ends of
Justice or in order to decide upon con-
fiicting interests the law will look into
fractions of day as readily as into the
fractions of any other unit of time Ii
necessary the courts will inquire at what
hour of the day an act was signed or a
proclamation issued by the Chief Execu-
tive, and hold that it had no effect pre-
vious to that hour. Applying this prin-
ciple to the Illinois case, the Supreme
Court rules that the Constitutional
Amendment was not adopted until the
polls were closed, and finds that before
that hour the entire vote on the bonds
was cast. The bonds were accordingly
held valid.
