During Cholera EpidemIcs.

The epidemics of 1880, 1S45, and 1866
caused the people everywhere to adopt
preventive measures which were
thought to have great efficacy. Care in
diet was considered most important, of
course, and fruits were almost entirely
discarded. Watermelons and cucum-
bers were looked upon as poisonous, and
even ripe peaches and other harmless
fruit were permitted to rot. So heavy
were the losses by fruit growers and
dealers in the East in 1880, that for =
few years after the plague disappeared
no one would raise melons and other OBJ
jectionable vegetables and fruits for fear
that they could not be disposed Of
Boiled rice, mush and milk, and bread
and milk became the principal articles
of diet in many families, and meats and
other heavy foods were partaken of very
sparingly. Camphor came into universal
use as a disinfectant, and nearly every
body wore some of it on the person.
Flannels were worn all summer, and
plasters of various kinds were used on
the chest and back.

PlaG, the National Dish of Turkey.

There are many recipes for preparing
"Pilatf f'-rice-the national dish of
Turkey, some of which if followed would
furnish but poor representation of the
excellence of the dish when properly
prepared. The following formula is the
one used at the celebrated Sedgewick
Literary institute, Great Darlington,
Mass, and conducted under the princi-
palship of Mr.. +. j. Van Lennep. Mr..
Van Lennep is a native of Turkey, his
parents having for many years resided
there as American missionaries:
Pilaf requires the best of rice, with
full and perfect kernels, otherwise it
should be sifted and picked over. For
a pint of rice take about three pints of
nice broth. Wash the rice carefully; 4;
drain, and pour at once into the boiling
broth; watch while cooking and avoid
stirring. When you find the kernels
cooked through but not much swelled or
expanded, take the kettle off the fire
and pour its contents into a cOlander to
drain for few minutes. Meantime, have
ready teacupful ofHelted butter heated
to the boiling point. Return the strained
rice to the hot empty kettle, and pour
the scalded butter over it, distributing
it carefully over the streaming mass, but
don't stir! This process seems to arrest
its further cooking, beside improving
its flavor. Nice "beef drippings" can
be used with butter-half and half.
Lastly, a folded napkin must be laid
upon the surface Of the rice, to absorb
the steam. the kettle closely covered and
set back in warm place and the pilafI
is ready.
n. b, The test of good pilaH is
thorough cooking without any ten
dency of the kernels to adhere to each
other. Water may be substituted fo-
broth if more butte<4bsIGsed

Hunting for Elder Down.

A letter from Reykiavik, Iceland, to
the New York Sun, writes of the cider
down harvest as follows: The men who
get the down leave home early in the
morning, and visit the places to which
the elder duck resorts, and each man
hunts for the nests. The nests are built
IN clefts of the rock, sometimes near the
sea, and slippery from the spray, and
sometimes very high up, where a false
step would be death to the unfortunate
man falling down on the jagged rocks
below,
The down is plucked from the breasts
of the duck by the bird itself, and is
used to line the nests for the comfort of
the young ones. The hunter robs the
bird of all the lining it has provided for
the nest, putting it in bag that he car
ries along for the purpose, and then goes
on and repeats the performance at some
other nest. Everything must be done very
quietly, for n loud noise frightens the birds.
and if frightened away once, they will not
build there again. There is a law en-
forced that forbids tie discharge of fire.
arms within hearing of the breeding
places, and a stranger would probably
be mobbed if he disobeyed it.
Two crops of down are gathered. The
first crop is the best, for the duck uses
an abundance of her choicest down in
making the lining of her first nest. A
short time after the first is gathered the
hunters go over the same ground again
and rob the nests OF the second lining,
which consists OF all the down the poor
bird could rob herself of for her young.
l. Al
last energies of the birds, for they then
make new nest, and the drake lines it
with his breast feathers. In this nest
the young are Matched. The hunters
seldom disturb it, for the probabilities
are that the pair would go away and
never return.
After the down has been gathered, it
is taken into large room in the farmers
house, and each nest, for the lining re-
tains the shape of nest, is placed ON top
of primitive arrangement that looks
like harp laid fiat, with strings of
leather laid across it. The nest is then
rubbed over the strings, and the lichen,
moss, sticks, chips, and other parts OF
the framework Of the nest that are mixed
with the down fall through to the floor,
while she down remains in the operators
hands. The down is then packed and
brought to market, and from here shipped
to all parts of the world. The color of
the down is a surprise to many, for in
stead of its being white, as some people
imagine, it is blue slate color, glossy,
and very pretty. An immense amount
of it can be crushed into handful, but
it will resume its natural form when re-
leased.
The down taken from dead birds is
not as good as that from the nests. 1t
is not so light or so much like floss silk
to the touch. Iceland furnishes about
1000 pounds of the down every year
that is of a superior quality.

THE LORDS OF LABOR.

They come, they come, in n glorious march,
You can hear their steam steeds neigh,
As they dash through Skill's triumphal arch,
Or plunge mid the dancing spray.
Their bale 6ros blaze in the mighty forge,
Their life-pulse throbs in the mill,
Their lightnings shver the gaping gorge,
And their thundors shake the hill.
Hol these are the Titaus of toll and trade,
The heroes who WELD no saber;
Butmightier conquests reapeth tho blade
That is borne by the Lords of Labor.
Brave hearts like jewels light the sod
Through the mists of commerce shine,
And souls flash out, like stars Of God,
From the midnight Of the mine,
No palace is theirs, no castle great,
No prIncely pillar'd hall;
But they well may laugh at the roofs of state
Meath the heaven which is over ALL
Ho! these are the Titans of toll and trade
The heroes who WELD no saber;
But mightier conquests reapeth the blade
Which is borne by the Lords OF Labor
Each bares his arm for the ringing strife
That marshal the sons of the soil,
And the sweat-drops shed in their battle of
life
Are gems in the crown Of toll
And better their well-worn wreaths, trow,
Than laurels with life blood wet;
And nober the arch of bare, bold brow
Than a clasp of coronet.
Then hurrah for each hero, although his
decd
Be unblown by the trump of tabor
For holier, happier far is the need
That crowneth the Lords of Labor

MexIco's NntionnI DRINK.

What the Napa valley is to San Fran
cisco, the Western reservoir to Ohio, or
the Orange county dairy region to New
York city, are Los Llanos de Apam to
the city of MeXico-the principal differ
ence being that maguey is MIXED in lieu
of cows and pulque is the product.
Some idea of the magnitude of this kind
of agriculture may be derived from the
fact that two special pulquc trains run
daily into the capital city with the same
regularity that milk trains come into our
metropolitan cities, yielding the railroad
a revenue of $1,000 a day freightage.
The legend runs that somewhere about
the year 800 a Toltec Indian, whose
name was Papantzin, was first to discover
that the juice of the agave Americana
might be distilled into a beverage fit for
the gods. Desiring to bring the new
blessing into royal favor, he commits,
stoned his only daughter, Xoahiti (signi-
flying ''thc Flower of AnahuaO ,, as cup
bearer to the king. This ancient Hebe,
we are told, was young and beautiful,
and the monarch not only drank and
praised the pulque, but married the
maiden. And to this dav the beverage
of old "Pap"-as no doubt his dutiful
descendants called him for SHORTS the
universal drink Of the lower classes of
Mexico, and no doubt it is one of the
most healthful beverages in the world.

Cheating the Bees.

n wayne county farmer has succeeded
IN earning place in history along with
the Connecticut man who invented
wooden nutmegs. He lives between
Detroit and Dearborn, on Michigan ave-
nue., in vine-covered cottage back a
little way from the road. On the front
fence appears the sign "White clover
honey" Back of the house is an airy
apiary with all the modern inventions for
the care of bees, and nearly fifty hives
sound with the cheerful humming of the
busy honey makers.
A representative of the Free Fress
quite by accident, called at the house
and found no one at home, and while
sitting by an old we'll curb refreshing
himself with cool water from an old
oaken bucket, his attention was called to
the action of the bees. The cottage is
surrounded with roses in full bloom, but
these bees did not as bees used to do,
Leather honey all the day
From every opening flower"
but instead were swarming around a
large tray which stood near by, and
were flying back and forth to their hives.
In this tray was half an inch of sticky
mass that looked like syrup. Little
sticks were strewn over this substance,
and on these the bees were alighting,
and, after taking some, flew back to the
hives.
"What do you want O. them bees9"
The intruder started up and found a
barefooted lad standing before him.
"What are the bees taking 2" we
asked.
"What do you want to know for? Dad
said we wasn't to tell any one anything
about it."
'1ll give you quarter if you will"
said the reporter, now thoroughly inter
ested.
"Well, dunno what it is. Dad gets
it from town in bar'l. Here's what he
gifts it in, pointing to large cask.
On the end OF the barrel was the stem.
Gil mark: 5000 lbs. grape sugar from
Michigan Grape Sugar Mandatory"
''Is that glucose the bees are getting?"
ITS something that dad gets out of
that bar'l, that's all know about it."
The inquiring visitor tasted it. There
was an unmistakable gum drop flavor
to it,
"We had hard work to get the bees
used to it. Dad put in a lot of syrup at
first, but the bees take it straight now"
''How long does it take to fill hive9"
''Not near so long as it does when
they have to gather the honey from
flowers. We've taken out lot this year
already"
The boy brought out of the house a
box of glucose honey which looked as
clear and inviting as though the sweets
had been distilled from the purest
flowers.
''Do you eat it?" the boy was asked.
Sometimes. 1t amt so good as the
other kind, but It's just as good to sell.
Say, don't you never give me away to
dad, or he'll skin me. ."-DetrOit Free
