.sCuttinr the GOrdian Knot. y

"The Gordian Knot" is phrase re-
ferring TO one of the celebrated Gre
clan myths. The name is derived
from that of Gordius. a legendary
king of Phrygia, and the father Of tha
Midas who was tabled TO turn every
thing he touched into gold. 1t is re-
lated of Gordius that he was originally
peasant, until one day it chanced
that while plowing an eagle alighted
upon his yoke of oxen and stood there
until evening. Determined to unravel
the meaning of this sign he went TO
consult the soothsayers of Telmessus,
and was informed that his family
should become great. A prophecies
whom he met at this time became his
wife. When their son Midas had
grown TO manhood the country was
rent with civil dissensions, aud an
oracle declared that car would bring
the country a new king, and with him
the end of their Disturbances While
they were celebrating Gordius, with
his wife and son, Unexpectedly APP
peared, riding in rude wagon, the
yoke of which was fastened to the pole
by complicated mass of cordage.
Gordius, being hailed as king, at once
consecrated the yoke of his team to
Jupiter, in the Acropolis of Gordium.
An oracle now declared that whoever
should unite its artfully made knot
would become master of Asia. 1t is
said that Alexander the Great, in his
march toward Persia, assembled to the
citadel, amid the eager expectation
both of the Macedonians and the in
habitants of Asia Minor, and to have
fulfilled the prophecy by cutting the
famous Gordian knot asunder with his
sword.

How Gold Rings Are Made.

A Syracuse IN. Y. } Herald reporter
has been watching the process Of
making plain gold rings at factory
in that city. After describing how bars
of gold were obtained from a handful
of cd rings, chains and watch cases,
all thrown into crucible the size Of a
coffee-pot, he continues The bars
seen were nine and fifteen inches long.
a bar fifteen inches long, about two
inches wide and three-siXteenths of an
inch thick, was worth 81 900. 1t would
make 800 four-pennyweight rings. A
dozen processes and twenty minutes
of time are required to change the bar
into merchantable rings. A pair Of
shears, invented by Mr.. Howeth, the
proprietor of the factory, cuts the bar
into strips. BY the turn of wheel
one, two or three times the guillotine-
like blade of the shears chops the bar
into slices one, two or three-siXteenths
of an inch wide. A rolling-machine
presses out the strips and makes them
hat or grooved. Each strip is then
put under the blowpipe and annealed.
The oxide of copper comes to the
surface and is put into a pickle Of
sulphuric acid. The bit of gold is
stamped with its quality and the name
of the maker and is put through a
machine that bends it to the shape of
ring, the same machine making a
ring of any size. The ends are soldered
with an alloy of inferior fineness to
the quality of the ring. "Many
people imagine" said Mr.. Howeth,
"that rings are run in a mold because
they can't see where they are soldered.
The ring spins through the turning
lathes, is rounded and pared and pol
ished, first with tripoli and then with
steel filings and rouge. One handful
of old jewelry has turned into fifteen
shining rings. They are now ready
for the market and matrimony."
The waste of gold is surprising. A
pine floor laid in gold workers shop
in ten years becomes worth $3.50 per
foot. Mr.. Howeth once bought for
less than $50 some sweepings that gave
S20S worth of gold. A tub in his eel
lar, into which is blown the dust from
a polishing lathe, aecumulates fifty
dollars year Nothing is destroyed
from the coke which heats the cruel
bic to the towel on which the workman
wipes his hands.
Almost daily Mr.. Howeth puts into
the melting-pot rings that have the
names of lovers and sweethearts
Women bring plated family "heir
looms" and when nitric acid has
shown their worthl6ssness accuse the
tester of not knowing pure gold wher
he sees it. A workman in Mr.. Howeth'S
shop carried off on the tip of his moist
ened finger thirty dollars of filings in
few weeks. Workmen sometimes
oil their hair and then run their fingers
through it, leaving a deposit of gold
particles which they afterward wsst
/ out.

Costly Tapestries.

The municipal authorities of Paris
own tapestries reckoned to be worth
$507, ,623. Unfortunately many of
them are in deplorable condition.
Some have lost their borders, which is
greatly TO be regretted, for the sigma
ture of the artists to whom they are
due, the date of their manufacture,
the place where made, were commonly
in the borders. Others have been so
often used as hangings that they are
rent in many places. The municipal
authorities intend to have them photo
graphed (cost $1,522) and mended
(cOst $lO,376) by Leger, the famous
tapestry mender. When mended they
will be hung in "A room of the new
Hotel de Vile, all except five, which
came from st. Gervais church. These
five were made in the Louvre; the
designs were by Lesueur, Philippe de
Champagne and Sebastian Bourbon;
the tapestry was made by the most
celebrated makers Of the early part of
the seventeenth century; they are the
only tapestries in the world of which
no second copy was made. They are
to be hung in Musee CarnaYalet. the
municipal museum, which has estab-
lished,in the mansion owned and long
tenanted by Nine. de Sevigne.

The " WHY . in Vegetable Cookery.

Why should beans never be put
into cold water to soak. as is often re-
commended? Because all the nutri
tious portion Of the bean is extracted
by the process. They should be washed
in warm water, then in cold, he tied
loosely in clotn, be put into b fling
water, with Il spoonful, of dripping and
a little salt in it, and be kept boiling
Cor four hours. They are then excel.
lent If served with gravy, and not with
melted butter. They serve as garnish
around roast mutton or beef. aud are
excellent eating served whole or rs a
puree. To make the latter, when the
beans are done throw them instantly
into cold water, when the skins will
! slip off. Rub the beans through a
colander, and mix lump of butter
with them. 4 little stock, or milk,
or cream is excellent mixed in.
Why should plenty of fast boiling
water be used in boiling vegetables,
potatoes eXcepted2 Because the
greater the boGy of boiling water the
heat. If only little water be used,
the whole affair soon cools, and the
vegetables become tough, so much so
that no length of time in boiling them
will render them otherwise. Broccoli
sprouts in April if properly cooked by
boiling them for eight minutes in
boiling water, will be tender as mar
row; but, if not properly done, hours
will not cook them.
Why should onions be always cut in
round and very thin ringsP Because
the fiber is thus cut across, and in so
cutting them, whether for frying or
for making sauce, they are rendered
very tender when cooked. With tur-
nips and carrots it is just the same I;
neither of the three should be split or
cut in any other way.
Why should parsley never be boiled
with soda-only boiling water and
salt? Because parsley, having no oil
in it, would be spoiled with soda and
all flavor would be extracted. All
parsley should be pickeL free from the
stem, be put into plenty of boiling
water with salt and in summer be
boiled only one minute, and in winter
two minutes, and be strained and
chopped on the back of plate. If
only little water is used in boiling it,
the water becomes brown, and the
parsley tough and i'll favored.
Why should vinegar for picking
with never be boiled? Because boil
ing takes all the strength from it.
Whatever vegetables are to be picked
should first be made soft with boiling
water strong with salt and then be
well drained and the vinegar poured
over.
Why should two ounces of salt and
bit of washing soda always be put
in :he water to boil greens in? Be-
cause the salt crisps the greens and
favOrs them, and the soda extracts the
oil, which is greatly injurious to the
digestion. n.-Germanto1on Telegraph.
