NEw York, January 2l.-At half past
i've O'Clock Monday night the Arrow Lin

smoke and fame shot up, and soon eight
streams Of water were pouring into the
vessels hold. For half an hour the pump
ing was kept up without material effect,
when four men were sent down 20 invcs-

in black clouds, almost sitting
those on deck and the stencil was nor
rible. The men disappeared from view
and remained 50 long that a relief party
was sent down 70 find them. On going
down they found all four lying on tbs

Bogus Butter Dealers Arrested.

Warrants have been issued for the
arrest OF several Chicago grocers and
produce dealers, under the state law
against authorizations, charging them
with selling oleomargarine as pure but
ter. The attorneyfor thu prosecution
says, that the honest dealers and
members of the Produce Exchange
propose to see the state law enforced,
irrespective of the action of govern
ment authorities under thelaw recent
ly enacted by Congress. Heretofore
the state law has been practically q
dead letter, owing to the decision of
Judge Smith, in which he held that the
party purchasing knew that he was
getting oleomargarine, and vas working
in behalf of the prosecution. In these
cases +. f. Tyler, theplaintiff, did not
know that he was purchasing for the
prosecution, but bought what was
sold as genuine butter IN good faith
The prosecution has investigated a
dozen cases, and have found but two
| where pure butter was sold. One OF
the dealers arrested had advertised
that he would give 800 reward TO any
person discovering authorizations IN
his "butter." The State Inspector
found that So per cent of it was oleo-
margarine. The average amount OF
| foreign matter in the samples analysed,
has been fully fifty per cent. 1t is to
be hoped that the dealers in these
filthy compounds Will be taught a
| wholesome lesson.-Prairie Farmer.

yistakes of Vegetable Growers,

One OF the great mistakes which
American gardeners make consists OF
allowing green vegetables to grow too
large and rank before gathering them.
Turnips, carrots, beets, radishes, etc,
should be gathered while they are
small, and delicate in flavor. String
beans should not be picked after the
seed begins to form in the pod, or
they will be found tough and not very
digestible when cooked. Pick green
peas before the peas are fully grown.
When allowed to grow to large size
they acquire a strong flavor and be-
come less digestible. OF course, such
varieties as the marrowfats and cham
pions will be both large and tender.
Sweet corn should have the ears Just
filled, but the kernels should be tender
and juicy.-Maria Parloa, in Good
Housekeeping.

observation-disclosures

The scarcity of whalebone, its high
price, and demand for an article in
It's stead, led Mr.. E. K. Warren to in
vent "Featherbone," q substitute pre-
pared from the quilts of geese and tur-
keys. The factory is located at Three
Oaks, Mich, and, in the short space of
two years, the enterprise has grown to
a large industry. AS the discovery
brought to existence q new substance,
it became necessary to invent machin-
cry required in its manufacture. These
operations have passed the stage of
experimental existence, and Feather
bone" is now an article OF commercial
value. The quilts of turkeys and
geese only are used. The first process
strips the plumage from the quilts. A
set of revolving knives then divides
the quilts in halves. Rapidly revolv-
ING sand-paper rollers then remove the
pith. The quilts are then passed to
an ingeniously constructed system OF
interlocking knives, which reduces
them to fiber. These fbers are then
fed to q machine which twists
them into fine cord wrapped
with thread. Another machine
wraps four of these cords with
thread and forms them into a fiat
tape. A sewing-machine places a row
OF stitches between each cord, which
gives the tape increased strength and
adds to it's elasticity, and the whole is
then passed between two large rollers,
which gives it uniform thickness,
and makes it ready for market. The
article is said to be unbreakable, and,
if bent double, will retain it's strength
and elasticity. IN dressmaking it
possesses the advantage over whale
bone OF being lighter, cheaper, more
durable, and needs no castings, as it is
sewed to the goods. 1t is superseding
whalebone in the manufacture OF
whips, and a large whip factory is the
outgrowth of Mr.. Warren's discovery
The plumage Of thefeathers is used for
making a very good quality of mat
tresses, and the pith, being shown by
| analysis to be rich in nitrogen, is used
as fertilizer. About 800 iobbing
houses handle their goods, and the
factory gives employment to $50 per-
sons, and consumes 10000 quilts and
125 miles of thread daily.-The Car.

About Vegetables.

Spinach has q direct effect upon
complaints of the kidneys; the COM
mon dandelion, used as green's, is ex-
cellent for thesa trouble; asparagus
purges the blood; celery acts admira-
bly, upon the nervous system, and is q
cure for rheumatism and neuralgia;
tomatoes act upon the liver; beets and
turnips are excellent appetizers;
lettuce and cucumbers are cooling in
their effect upon the system; beans
are very nutritious and strengthen
ing vegetable, while onions, garlic,
leeks, olives and shallots, all OF which
are similar, possess medical virtues of
a marked character, stimulating the
circulatory system, and the consequent
increase of the saliva and the gastric
Juice promoting digestion. Red onions
are an excellent diuretic, and the white
ones are recommended eaten raw as a
remedy for insomnia. They are a
tonic and nutritious. A soup made
from onions is regarded by the French
as an excellent restorative in debility
OF the digestive organs. With vege-
tables as with everything else, much
depends upon the cooking and the care
and preparation beforehand. Wash
ing in several waters is necessary to
prepare nearly all kinds of green vege-
tables for the table, and great care
must be given IN examining spinach,
lettuce, green's and cauliHower, as
often very minute insects are lurking
in or under the leaves of these
american CultiVatOr.
