handful of -four is 10 be reserved for the
purpose of beating in the biscuit The
dough is to be beaten until 1t becomes
perfectly smooth. Roll the biscuit very
thin, and bake in quick oven. The
regu ar beaten biscuit Is more often
made up into small cakes with the hand,
pricked with the fork, but not cut out.
Many kitchens are furnished with
stout cedar log tor this purpo'e, as a
very substantial table would otherwise
lie needed. An axe is considered the
the best beater. The snowy whiteness
of these biscuits alone recommends them
to popularity.
The nervous system Is telegraplIIc
network whose ramificatlOns extend
from the brain to every part of the body.
Unlike an ordinary telegraph, its wires
convey messages In ouly one direction.
A double line is therefore provided; the
moto-nerves which transmit orders from
the brain to the muscles; and the senso-
nv nerves, which carry to the brain
information of impressions made upon
the organs of sense. 1t is remarkable
that the two sets of nerves do not "con-
duct" with equal rapidity. The average
rate of conduction in human motor
nerve. is found by experiment to be
about ono hundred and eleven feet in a
second. while that of the sensory nerves
is about one hundred and forty feet.
ALEXANDER PUDDING.-Have ready a
dish of stewed apples, sweetensd and
seasoned with lemon peel. Put layer
of bread crumbs on the bottom OF your
baking dish, with bits of butter mingled,
then a layer of apples.--COntinue In
this way until the dish Is evenly filled.
Bake long enough to allow the butter to
be well melted. When it is Drowned,
take off, and soften the surface with
some of the syrup of the apples, left out
for the purpose. Beat up the whites OF
six eggs, sweeten and season with vanilla.
Spread this over the pudding and let 1t
brown in the oven. 1t is very nice eaten

cream.
