Good luck visits the poor as we'll as
the rich. Late London papers contain
a strange story about the good fortune
which has befallen Il miserable LOOKING
woman, presenting an appearance be-
tokening a hard struggle between gentil-
lty and destitution, who has for years
been selling cigars on the Strand. The
executors of the estate of q deceased
member OF the bar, after hunting TO.
three years, finally found in the wretch
ed street wait the former wife of the
dead man, and informed her that an es-
tate OF over f25, 900 had been left her.

At the inquest on the body of
William Everhart. of Philadelphia, the
Coroner's physician testified that the
man had been accustomed to eating his
food like wild beasts and that he had
died from strangulation. 1t was shown
that for twenty-five years he had re-
fused to eat either meat or vegetables
except in their raw state. When a
piece of raw meat was thrown him he
would pounce upon it like a hungry
wolf and tear it apart with his teetA-.

The houses of Honolulu are always
open, day and night, as the tempera-
ture is SO warm that one has to sleep
out of doors, as it were, to get enough
fresh air. They are built mostly of
wood, though many of the oldest and
more substantial houses are built of
coral stone, few of lava stone, and
many may yet be seen within the limits
of Honolulu made of grass and occupied
by the natives.
These native huts or houses are built
by making framework of bamboo
poles, covered with layers of the ba-
mana tree, the trunk of which can be
removed in layers. This, again, is COW
cred with grass and trimmed on the
corners and top by weaving TIE grass
into different patterns. One opening
or door usually admits enough light
and air for the average native, though
some huts are divided off into sagaral
rooms. with two and sometimes three
doors. A mat hung down or the ms de,
covering the opening. is the common
door. Mats made Of broad grass inter-
woven or braided, and sometimes flags,
form the carpets. and pile Of from
two to ten, and sometimes even more,
makes the bed on which the natives
and invited & nests sleep.
Furniture there Is none, the natives

legs crossed beneath them. CheiP

Some farmers find it al advantage
to plant corn on their clover sod with
manure, aud then follow with potatoes
the following spring. The potatoes are
less likely to be scabby than when
planted directly on clover lea, but in d
dry season are more likely to be in-
jured by drought. Where it is intended
to plant potatoes after corn the land
should be fall plowed and rye sown for
turning under in the spring. Chicago

as an excellent remedy where the skin
is unbroken,. care of course being taken

ALI cellars should be ventilated.
There is a great deal of foul gas that
accumulates from the decay of vege-
table matter in them that too often ia
allowed to pass into the, rooms above,
to the injury of the health of their oc-
cupants. The best way to secure ventila-
ton is to have communication between
the cellar and the chimney by means OF
pipe or other opening. The upward
draft will remove the foul air as il
accumulates, and render it nearly or
quite as pure as in the rooms above. -

Making Cider Vinegar.

The malic acid of the apple and the
acetic acid produced from the fermen-
tation of the sugar of the juice are both
wholesome and an aid to digestion, and
the natural desire for these acids, es-
pecially the former, which exists in all
fruits, may be considered as an instinct
i've craving for necessary article of
food, just as the appetite for salt and
sugar is. The formation of the vege-
table acids is one of the curiosities of
agricultural science which shows in a
remarkable way what very great
change is made in the character of
various substances by the mere adj
dition or subtraction of one or more
chemical elements contained in them.
Thus, the following table will show
how starch is changed into sugar,
sugar into glucose, glucose into alco-
hol, and alcohol into vinegar, or acetic
acid. which is the last stage of the
chemical change, excepting putrefac-
ton, when the substance finally disap-
pears in an explosive gas:

Fattening Geese.

Geese, like other fowls, by proper
management, may be easily fattened;
but it is we'll known that unless they
are killed, and put into market at their
latest period, they do not long hold
flesh, ana rapidly become lean. The
French method in fattening these fowls
consists in plucking the feathers from
the belly, in giving them abundance Of
food and drink, and in cooping them
up more closely than is practiced with
common fowls; cleanliness and quiet
ude, being above all things iadispensa-
BILE. The best time to begin fattening
is in the month of November, or as
soon as cold weather has fairly set in;
if it is longer delayed, the pairing sea-
son begins, and prevents them from be-
coming fat If you have not too many
geese to fatten, good way is to put
them into cask, with holes bored
in it, through which they can thrust
their heads to feed; and being natural
ly voracious, their love of food is great
or than their desire for liberty. SO that
they fatten very rapidly. By this meth

Here it is seen that by adding an
equivalent of water to starch it is
changed into cane sugar; one more
equivalent of water changes cane sugar
into glucose. BY breaking up one
equivalent of glucose into two parts
and taking from them four equivalents
of carbonic acid-which, it is well
known, escape in the alcoholic fermen-
tation--there are left two equivalents
of alcohol. One equivalent OF alcohol,
then, loses two atoms of hydrogen and
gains one of oxygen, and becomes
vinegar, or acetic acid; and it is exceed
ingly curious to see how, after all these
changes, three equivalents of vinegar
are precisely alike in composition to
one equivalent of glucose, or fruit
sugar.
Every one OF these changes occurs in
the production of vinegar from apples.
The starch and acids of unripe fruit are
changed into sugar as the fruit ripens
by the addition Of oxygen, chiefly from
the air; and. iadeed, this addition of
oxygen takes place in the exposure of
unripe fruit to the air during the grind
ing Of it in the cider mill and the airing
of the juice as it runs from the press or
rests in the watts or casks. And Just
here, in concluding these remarks, it
might be said that, while ripe fruit is
extremely wholesome and even nutri-
tious, the use of unripe fruit is positively
hurtful and dangerous, as some of the
chemical changes above mentioned
occur in the stomach and bowels, pro
ducing various injurious gases which
not only irritate the sensitive MEM
branes and produce cramps and severe
pains, but by being absorbed into the
blood may produce the most serious or
fatal disorders.-N. Y. Times.

A Ba d Speaker.

Archbishops are not made for their
eloquence, but on account of their
judgment and executive ability. One
of the archbishops of Canterbury,
Howley, who died in 1913, was distin-
guished as bad speaker.
The following anecdotes illustrate
what he could do in the way of spelling
a speech. With most delicate and
almost fastidious taste as to style, he
was always making corrections in his
speaking as some writers do on their
manuscript, fatal fault in speaker.
Thus presiding at an anniversary of
the Clergy Orphan Girls school at st.
Johns Wood, he delivered himself
thus:
mo one can see corrects hinsselG

looking girls (corrects himself these

He used to rub his hands anxiously
together while speaking, as if he were
washing them. have seen him twice,
and once saw a bishop initiate him to
the life.
There is story that he used to be-
wall his own nervousness as q speaker,
and that one of his chaplains recon-
mended him to shut himself up in the
Addington diningroom, and address
the chairs, imagining people in them.
."How did your grace get onP'' he
was asked after the first experiment
"Well, you see, think l got on very
nicely at first, but all at once l caught

: AT a recent meeting Of one Of the
English mechanical institutions, there
was examined some cast-iron chilled
tools, the exhibitor stating that with
such tools, the cost of which he showed
to be merely nominal, he was able to
turn cast and wrought-iron and gun me-
tai at from fifty to one hundred per
cent higher speed than with tools made
from steel. Surprise was expressed that
such tools were not in more general use.
