Cooking Recipes.

SALAD.-A delicious salad is made by
boiling new beets without scraping them.
When they are tender, drop them in
cold water, remove the skin, slice them,
and put in salad dish in layers, with
slices of hard boiled eggs; season with
pepper and salt, little butter and vine
gar.
LEMON PIcKLE.-Put in jar one tea.
cup of common salt. pour over it one
pint of boiling water, and put the lemon
into this; cover it over with plate, and
leave it for five days. Drain off the salt
and water and add fresh, and at the
end, of ten days let the lemons drain
again. Then pour over them as much
hot vinegar as will cover them. with
plenty of cayenne pepper and ginger.
Tie down the pots, and look to them oc-
casionally as the vinegar wastes.
RASPBERRY FLoAr-One quart of rasp-
berries, whites of four eggs, coffee
cupful of sugar. Beat the eggs white
and light, add gradually the sugar and
berries till you have the dish heaped up
like massy mountain with the delicacy,
which will be light purple tint.
CAuLIFLowER SALAD.-Boil cauli-
flower in salted water till tender, but
not overdone; when cold (having set it
on ice), cut it up neatly in small sprigs
Dress it either with mayonnaise or with
The plain French dressing Of pepper, salt,
oil and vinegar.
DREADED EGG-pLANT.-Slice nearly an
inch thick; pare each slice and lay in
salt and water one hour. Wipe dry; dip
in beaten egg, then in rolled cracker,
and fry to fine brown in salted lard or
dripping.
Red raspberry pudding is made in
this way: To two ounces of butter allow
three ounces each of sugar and flour;
beat two eggs very light and mix with
the sugar; then add the -four and the
butter, which yon have warmed so that
twill mix readily; a little salt and grated
nutmeg may then be stirred in. But
ter some coffee cups, and in the bottom
OF each one put tablespoonful large
one-of jam, or two tablespoonfuls Of
fresh berries; then pour the pudding
mixture over them. Leave space at
the top SO that the pudding may rise a
little. Bake for half an hour, and serve
with cream and sugar.

A Word to Girls.

Many girl is careless as to how
much money young man spends for
her. Three dollars and five dollars for
a horse and carriage he can poorly af-
ford, perhaps, yet she will go with him
week after week, with no particular in
terest in him, unmindful apparently
whether he earns the money or takes it
from his employers drawer. He makes
her expensive presents. He takes her
to concert, in going to which horse
car ride for ten cents would be wiser
than carriage ride for several dollars.
A youn man respects young woman
all the more who is careful of the way
in which he spends his money and will
not permit too much to be used for her.
A thoughtful and well'bred girl will be
wise about these matters.-Presbyter-
inn

FARMERS COLUMN.
Farming Notes.

Don't work too hard in the sun during
the heat of the day. Avoid drinking
much cold water, Especially ice water.
Oatmeal water is very good for this time
of the year.
Washington territory promises to raise
great quantities of hops. Sixty farmers
in the Puyallup valley last year raised
l,5O0, 900 pounds of the cured article. In
King and Pierce counties there are 100
acres bristling with poles, and the busi-
ness is rapidly increasing.
A member of the Elmira Farmers
Club, as reported :n the Husbandman,
says that he cut field of oats when the
grain was in the milk and..it Was estima-
ted by the one who fed them as worth
as much as tgood hay. Mr.. Armstrong
estimates oats cut green for cattle feed
ing as worth more for COWS in milk than
any other fodder. Cattle and horses eat
the whole-the last bit of straw 1t i'm
parts color to butter the same as it takes
from fresh pastures.
A pure short horn steer can be brought
to weight of II 90 pounds when one
month under two years old, or rate of
increase equal to 1-2 pounds per day.
Hereford grade steer calves can be made
to average Gil pounds in 23S days, on a
rate of 2 9.4 pounds per day. Aber-
deem Polle1 grade steer calves can be
made to average 720 pounds in 273 days,
or rate of 2 2.3 pounds per day.
If your land is rich, keep it rich; if
poor, make it rich. Your best profits
will be found in good crops, and your
worc+ 1ocuau in poor opoS rood oron
there is the profit on the amount raised,
and, second, on the price received for
it. Don't buy costly commercial fertili-
zers until you have exhausted the COM
mon methods of manuring, to wit: green
manuring and barnyard manure. Then
find out by experiment what your land
wants, and if it will pay. supply it. New
er buy what you can raise for yourself

Poisonous Stockings,

Ina communication to the Lancet,
DR.. Woodland states that, having had
his attention directed to a number of
cases involving great irritation to the
feet and legs, causing small pustules to
arise and the skin to subsequently exs
foliate, and suspicion being fastened up
on red stockings which the patients
wore, he carefully analysed a number
Of the hose, to ascertain the precise ma
ture of the difficulty. He found tin

the dye. He succeeded in obtaining as
much as twenty-five and three-tenths
grains of this metal in the form of diox.

washed the salt in question is Of course
rendered more easily soluble; the result
;s that the acid excretions from the feet
attack the tin oxide, and an irritating
fluid is formed.

FOLLING AN ASSASSIN.
A Kentucky Lawyer Who Does Not
Fear to Meet the Hardest Criminal.

A Kentucky Lawyer Who Does Not
Fear to Meet the Hardest Criminal.
From the Philadelphia Times.
George Denny, Jr., who will stump
southern Kentucky in the interest Of
Morrow, is Garrad county boy. He
married blue grass girl. and first made
his reputation as fearless and bitter
prosecutor in the thirteenth judicial dis
trict. He was one of the bravest
men ever saw. AT one time he was
attending court at Somerset, and had
prosecuted in his usual aggressive man
ner vile wretch named McFerrin for
some petty offense. McFerrin was one
of the celebrated Bridgewaters gang,
and had murdered four men. Ali the
mountain tiger in the man was aroused,
and he determined to make Denny his
fifth victim. George was going to
ped from the @ court }a house door door
when he heard stealthy footsteps behind
him Wheeling, he caught McFerrin
with uplifted knife in his hand. Catch
ing him by the throat and arm he flung
him down on the ground and exclaimed:
You ID little viper, am tempted to
kill you'll" Then he turned and walked
away.
Several years ago Samuel Holmes of
Stanford, who belongs to one of the
richest families in the state got drunk,
and when Sheriff Napier attempted to
then fed the country. After wandering
iu Europe for 10 years Holmes came
back, was arrested and had his trial
Sam was remarkably handsome man
tall and slender, with shining brown
eyes and pale, feminine face, hut a
fiend incarnate when aroused. The trial
was the sensation of the day. The court
room at Somerset was filled with the
tonicst ladies and gentlemen, Curiosity
was worked up to the highest pitch as
to how Denny would prosecute Holmes.
Denny is great tall, deep.chested,
curly-haired, bull-necked, fellow, with
peculiar way of working his wicked d-look-
ing gray eyes, and voice like distant
thunder: When he began talking there
was dead silence in.the room. Gradual
ly he warmed up. His broad bosom
heaved. his big. white hands were con-
vulsively closed and his voice began to
tremble.
Finally his dreadful passions seemed
to completely master him. Writhing

almost shrieked: 81 am told that l will

on with this prosecution-that the
Holmes gang will shoot me if he is con-
victed. Let them come on! Let them
rally their cowardly gang of midnight
cut-throats! I will prosecute the prison
er though all the devils in hell oppose
mew
At that moment, as he stood with
blood-shot eyes, livid face, and froth is
suing from his purple lips, and his form
quiyering with passion, he was the most
superb specimen of physical manhood I
ever saw. 1t was dramatic moment.
Mrs. Holmes almost tainted; her daugh-
ter's sobs alone broke the terrible 81
ence, while the prisoner sat calmly by
with marble face and cold, glittering
eyes. The verdict of the jury was death,
but change of venue and a new trial
was obtained, and Holmes was SEN
fenced to imprisonment for life. He
was afterward pardoned by Governor
Blackburn.

Robinson Crusoe's Island To- Day

The sun was bathing the beautiful
island with food Of golden light ss we
neared its picturesque harbor. In little
boats we went ashore, and landed in the
primitive manner of running the boat
aground and pulling the boat up on the
shore. 1t was difficult to realize that
we were, indeed, on this historical,
mysterious island that Imagination had
pictured from childhood's early hours
in so many fanciful forms. The books
tell you that it was on this lovely island
that in 1704, the celebrated English nav
igator, Dampier, landed his coxswain,
Alexander Selkirk, with whom he had
quarreled, and left him alone on this un-
inhabited spot with small quantity OF
provisions and tools. Here he lived four
years, till he was picked up by passing
ship, and brought back to Europe It
was from the notes he made during his
solitary residence that Daniel Defoe
composed, his incompatible work of
Robinson Crusoe." No book, doubt
less ever held the childish interest
with greater fascination than
that which describes his wander
ings on this mysterious and enchanted
lSlAllu. lIldL WHICH llAQ ALWAYS Se6uleu
but dreamy romance was now before

wondrous experiences were described

A Splendid Egyptian SpLynx.
3 Brewster's Rome Letter to
Boston Advertiser.

From Anne Brewster's Rome Letter to the
Boston Advertiser.
l must add few lines to tell YOU of
the superb basalt sphynx discovered
lately in Via st. Ignazio, near the trib-
une door of st. Maria sopra Minerva.
That erudite archeologist, Prof Lancia-
nj, who knows the topography Of Rome
as few others do, drew chalk mark on
the ground, and said to his workmen,
dig here" The immediate result was
this fine Egyptian spynx. IfProf. Lancia-
in the United States on recent Roman
excavations and the ancient Topography
OF the city, what a privilege and treat it
would be to our students. He is the
best auth ority on those subjects, and. q
most attractive speaker, not only in his
own language, but in ours.
The sphinx just found has the inscrip-
ton defaced, the nose and symbol of
power on the head broken off; there
are also traces of these last having been
rest 'red in ancient Roman days. Egyp-
tian scholars have deciphered the de-
faced inscription on the base, and tell
this curious history: 1t is the portrait of
Amasis, the Pharaoh who reigned Just
before the conquest of his country by
the son of Cyrus, in 525 B. G. We all
remembered the sad story told by Herod-
otus Qii ~ Cambyses sent to Amasis
demand for the Egyptian King e
daughter to be sent to adorn his harlem.
Amasis dared not refuse, but sent in
stead the daughter ofAprees, the Phara-
oh he had dethroned. Cambyses dis.
covered the fraud, invaded and con-
quered Egypt six months after Amasis'
death. The Persian king took the body
Of the dead Pharaoh from tho tomb,
had it whipped in the public square and
burned, the crullest wrong and harm that
could be inflicted on an Egyptian. He or
dered also the defacing of every image of
Amasis, the inscription to be scratched
out, the noses and symbols of power to
be broken off. Centuries rolled by.
In the time of Nero this sphynx was
brought from Egyptto adorn q temple Of
Isis that stood back of the temple of
Minerva (on the site of the last named
temple now stands St. Marie, called sop
ra Minerva.) The Romans of that day
repaired the broken nose and head or
nament; probably they were ignorant of
what precious indications Of history
these broken parts afforded. Now the
beautiful basalt effigy Of the Egyptisn
Sovereign appears to us as it did to his
poor, conquered subjects when they saw
their country in the power of the Per-
SLAMS, and their dead King lost forever
to the land of the immortals. gg
The workmanship is remarkably
beautiful, The fine cutting of the neck
lace, ornaments, .drapery, in that hard
est Of sll stones, black basalt is marve-
lous. This valuable relic of history and
art will be placed in the new Capitol
Museum.
