an offer. When engaged the ring
passes to the third finger of the right
hand. When married the third finger
on the left hand receives the ring.
When a young lady desires to defy all
suitors she places rings-one on the
first and one on the fourth finger. A
writer on the subject of rings SAYS;
Though the ring of gold has long
been looked upon as necessity in the
marriage ceremony, it is by no means
indispensable, and civil marriages
may be contracted without it. The
Puritans abolished the ring, or, rather,
tried to do SO; they looked upon its
use as superstitious and Oh heather
origin. Quakers generally OBJECT to
the ring on account of its heather
origin, but the ladies of that persuas-
ion have shown decided preference
for it's continuance on account of the
invidious position in which a married
lady might be placed for the want of
it. Wedding rings are placed on the
left hand to typify obedience. The
converse is probably the reason why
the engaged band is placed on the
third right-hand finger of a fonce,
who still possesses large amou 1T of
freedom, and frequently exercises her
power in an arbitrary manner"

= Never in the history of KANSAS aud
Nebraska has there been a larger or
better crop of strawberries, cherries,
mulberries and dwarf Juneberries
than the present season, while the
prospects for a large yield of apples,
pears, plums, grapes, raspberrles and
blackberries are equally as promising.
Surely the fruit grower has much to
encourage him, and we look for an
increased effort from all who are en-
gagged in or propose to enter upon
the pleasant occupation of fruit Gull
ture throughout the west. We are
now led to believe that hog and hom-
ony have had their day, and must
give way to the luscious, health-giving
fruit which our western friends are at
last so literally planting around their
homes. We are also inclined to smile
as we think that those few who have
looked so wise, shook their heads and
said we could not raise fruit here, are
obliged to eat crow. Again let me
urge you to push forward with renew
ed zeal until every table in our great
west shall have an abundant supply of
choice fruit during the entire year

The King Snake.

The king snake, says DR.. Louis, Of
n orth Carolina, is the master of
snakes, as its name applies. When
full grown it is about an inch and a
half thick and six or seven feet long
its color is jet black, with regular
cross-bars of white from head to tail.
1t IS of handsome appearance and is
the most active and powerful of all
other snakes. 1t, like man, is at
enmity with all the serpent tribes. 1t
does not hesitate to attack the largest
rattlesnake or copperhead. Its attack
is made with great skill, commencing
by making a circuit of the enemy,
who at once forms his deadly coil of
defense, contracting the circle at every
evolution, passing SO fast that he
seems to form spotted ring around
his adversary, who is dazzled by the
splendor. The king continues his
lightning like speed, seeing its chance,
leaps suddenly, Selling the enemy by
the neck, and, with great skill, winds
itself around the latter, drawing its
folds closer and closer, breaking its
bones and crushing out the life of its
foe. 1t then slowly unfolds itself,

Merry WORK by a Girl.
Cincinnati Enquirer


Miss Ella Mccall, a young lady of
this city, has suddenly become hero
inc, having performed feat requir
ing such bravery and endurance as
few men possess. She lives at 220
LongWorth street, near Smith. Satur
day afternoon, as she sat at her sew
ing she was startled by piercing
screams coming from the side yard.
Rushing to the window, she was in
time to see frankie Parr, the 4year
old child of the servant employed in
the family, disappear down the els
tern, the cap of which had inadvert-
emily been removed. 1t took her but
an instant tn reach the opening where
she could see the little fellow found
ering about eight feet below in four
feet of water. Unfortunately, she
was alone in the house at the time.
The little boy sank below the surface,
and there was no help at hand to sum-
mon.
It was time to acc rather than to
think, and without taking into consid
Grafton what might be the consequent
ces to herself, Miss Mccall, without
moments hesitation, grasped the rim
of the cistern and lowered herself
through the orifce Hanging suspend
ed at arms length for a second, she
dropped into the water, barely raiss-
ing the struggling and exhausted
child In striking the bottom she
lost her footing and was herself sub
merged in the chilling water. She
managed to get the boy into her arms
in time to save his life. She cried
for assistance, but no one being at
home no one came. She tried to at
tract the attention of passersby on
the street, but failed. Courageously
she stood in the water, which reached
above her waist, and held up the boy,
who was much too heavy a. load for
her. She stood there for half an hour.
She was almost fainting away and
was chilled to the bone when help fin
ally came IN the person of her mother,
who had beer away on an errand.
| Help was quickly brought, and a
ladder was lowered into the cistern.
Miss Mccall scarcely had strength
left to hand Up her charge and had to
be assisted to the dry ground. Res
toratives were at once applied, and
yesterday she was as well as usual
and able to receive the many con-
gratulatory calls from admiring neigh

Baking Bread.

Popular Science Monthly.
The bakers old -fashioned method of
testing the temperature of az oven is
instructive. He throws flour on the
floor. If it blackens without taking
Ere the heat is considered sufficient
1t might be supposed that this is too
high a temperature, as the object is to
cook the flour. not to burn it. But
we must remember that the flour
which has been prepared for baking
is mixed with water, and the evapora-
ton of this water will materially
lower the temperature of the dough
itself. Besides this, we must bear in
mind that another object is to be at
tanned. A hard shell or crust has to
be formed, which will so in case and
support the lump of dough as to pre-
vent it from subsiding when the
further evolution of carbonic-acid gas
shall cease, which will be the case
some time before the cooking of the
mass is completed It will happen
when the temperature reaches the
point at which the yeast cells can no
longer terminate. which temperature
is considered below the boiling point
of water.
In spite of this high outside temper
allure, that or the inner part of the
loaf is kept down little above 212
degrees by the evaporation of the
water contained in the bread; the es-
cape of this vapor and the expansion
of the carbonic-acid bubbles by heat
increasing the porosity of the loaf.
The outside being heated considera
bly, above the temperature of the
inner part, this variation produces
the differences between the crust and
the crumb. The action of the high
temperature In directly converting
some of the starch into dextrln will
be understood from what [ have al
ready stated, and also the par ial con-
version of this dextrin into caramel,
which was described in Nos. Ii and IA
of this series. Thus we have Ia the
crust an excess of dextrin as compared
with the crumb, and the addition of
variable quantity of caramel. In
lightly baked bread, with crust of
uniform pale-yellowish color, the
conversion of the dextrin into caramel
has barely commenced, and the gum
my character of the dextrin coating is
we'll displayed. Some such bread,
especially the long stoves of life COM
mon in France, appear as though
they had been vanished, and their
crust is partially soluble in water.
This explains the apparent paradox
that hard crust, or dry toast, is more
easily digested than the soft crumb OF
bread; the cookery of the crumb not
having been carried beyond the mere
hydration of the gluten and the
starch, and such degree of dextr.n
formation as was due to the action of
the diastase of the grain during the
preliminary epriod of rising

A RACE WITH A WHALE.
The Experience of a Swordfish1ng Par
ty i'm the Rriny Blue Sea Off Block
Island
Boston Herald.


Tuesday morning the schooner
Hattie Rebecca, Capt. Edwin A.
Dodge, sailed from Block island with
a swordfshing party. About $50,
when some two miles Off Southeast
point, Capt. Dodge called out, ''There
she blows" and pointed to a whale
spouting mile or SO to eastward He
soon disappeared, however, and while
all were scanning the waves in the
distance a white cloud of spray was
blown upward from the surface of the
ocean not more than five hundred
yards away, off the starboard quarter
His huge black bulk could be plainly
seen for about a minute, and then,
diving, he disappeared just in front of
the bowsprit, with his head toward the
vessel. A column of water shot up,
as from the explosion of a small tor
pedo, but only for an instant, for as
soon as he realized his close proximity
he plunged directly under the schoon-
er, the water closing above him ia
swift-moving eddies of foam, while
under water this time he turned COM
-,letely around, and soon came up,
cutting and blowing, less than fifty
feet to the larboard. He was headed
in the same direction as the schooner,
and moved leisurely along for more
than minute, apparently intending
to give those on board full opportu-
nifty to inspect him closely. He ex
tended a good distance beyond the
vessel in both directions, some of the
party thinking that he was fully twice
as long The length of the Hattie Re
becca is forty-six feet. All agreed
that his total length was not less than
seventy feet, and in view of the splen-
did opportunity afforded for making
fair estimate, and the character of
the spectators, it is safe to accept this
report as correct. Capt. Dodge puts
the length at from seventy to seven
ty-fve feet.
AS the schooner, sailing under an
nearly half a minute with her living
competitor, the party began to specu-
late as to Which would beat in the
race. But the whale had been SWIM
ming lazily, for as soon as his fukes
began to quicken their motion it be-
came evident that it would not be safe
to bet on the schooner. In about two
minutes the water closed once more
above the black, moving mass, and
when next he showed himself 1t was
at the distance of more than a mile.
He disappeared in the direction
whence he came. One can not help
wondering if he saw the schooner and
made this trip for the purpose Of ex
aiming thing that had excited his
curiosity.
The party was still further favored
beyond what is usually the privilege
of amateur fishermen, for they saw
shoal of porpoises, two shovel-nosed
sharks, two very large sunfshes, and
captured a swordfsh which weighed,
when dressed, 2e5 pounds.

What Kentucky BurgOO Is.

eff you should go out to Kentucky

''you would probably be invited to

burgoo accent on the last syllable) IS
grand, good thing. 1t is an all-day
picnic in the woods, with feast which
throws the clam chowder and the bar

In fact the burgoo usually includes
barbecue as q sort of incident. You 90
out to the corner of the woods, where
the thick underbrush has been care
fully cut away, and where there are
trees enough for shade, but not enough
for gloom, and there you sit and play
poker and smoke the finest tobacco in
the world and drink oily 10-year-old
sour mash and sniff the delightful ar
oma of the burgoo until along in the
afternoon, when the niggers pro-
nounce the burgoo ready aHd ladle it
out to you in big bowlfuls. The bur-
goo is delicious broth; which is a
perpetual reminder Of the aborigines,
who handed it over to our forefathers
when they began coming across the
mountains from Virginia. You take
or rather the darkies take-a gigan-
tic kettle and hang it over roaring
fire. A light broth is made; then they
throw in young chickens, young ducks
and all sorts of small game, with
fresh potatoes, green peas, string
beans, corn and every other vegetable.
Everything is cooked until the meat
begins to fall to pieces. Then the
walters, with shining, smiling, black
faces and snow-white jackets and
aprons, bear great bowIfuls of the
toothsome stew through the grove.
Oh, how good it is My mouth waters
as I tell you of it. Afterward there
is more burgoe, and then more bur-
goo, until everybody has had enough
Then the darkies satisfy themselves,

Observe how, when the shrewd pal
mist is reading the lines of hand he
scans the face with almost equal in
terest. These learned people know
how the soul dwells in the eye; and
the ability to understand it's language
is Unborn with most folks without hav-
ing to study it, though extremely SEN
sitive persons have told me- that more
power of discrimination rested in
their hands than they could read from
every feature of the face, the fingers
being so full of vision that they could
feel color without seeing it; so full
of nerves that an impression was in
Simultaneous and could be relied upon;
so full of life that when their possess
or was in love they tingled with atfec-
tionate intoxication.
1t is said that very quiet eyes that
repose signify self-command, but also
much complaccncy and some conceit.
Restless eyes that cannot look one
steadily in the face denote deceitful,
designing mind. Eyes in which the
white has a yellowish tinge and is
streaked with reddish veins, prove
much of strong passions and hasty
tempers Very blue eyes bespeak a
mind inclined to coquetry; grey eyes
signify dignity, intelligence and ex-
cellent reasoning faculties; greenish
eyes, falsehood and a fondness for
scandal. A malicious mind is often
indicated by greenish eyes. Black
eyes show a passionate, lively tenn
permanent, AMI oftentimes most de-
ceitful disposition; brown eyes are
generally tender and true, indicating
a kind and happy disposition.
Of the nose. A Roman nose denotes
an enterprislng. business-like char
acter; long nose if sign of good
sense; a perfectly straight nose indi-
Gates pure and noble soul, unless the
eye contradicts it; mex vetrousse
signifies q spirit of mischief, wit and
dash; large nose generally indicates
large mind and good heart; very
small nose good nature, but lack of
energy.
Thick lips generally mean either
great genius or great stupidity; very
thin Ii ps, cruelty, righteousness,

A lean face speaks more Of intelli-
gence than a fat face, generally speak

which stand out and throb under the
