TO the Editor of the Isl. CrOir AviS."
Dear Mr.. Editor,

To the Editor of the Isl. Cr0jr AVi$."
Dear Mr.. Editor,
Allow us please through the medium
of your valuable paper to express or make
known our gratitude to the kind gentlemen
viz - Messrs. NelchiOrs, F~echtenburg,
Faber, and others, who so generously plan
ned and arranged to give us a trip, and
thus privileged us to go to Copenhagen to
attend at the Exhibition. We are indeed
thankful for this favour. BY this trip, we
were enabled to see a few other places.
Our treatment to and fro was very nice.
In Copenhagen we boarded at MesSrS.
Fechtenburg's, where the greatest care was
taken of us. During our short stay we gain
ed many friends, all Of whom we shall
remember. We regret having to leave
Denmark in so short a time. Our greatest
joy was to see the King and Queen, and
Crown Prince, who asked us many ques,,
tiOns.
May God bless Denmark's rulers and
people.

MAJ. rnvelope for Love1..

The very atest thing out in the WY OF
stationery is an envelope Of leather,
which can be locked and sent through the
rails without being tampered with by
post-office clerks. 1t will doubtless come
into general use as a safe covering for
lovers epistles. The locked envelope is
thus described: 1t is of leathsr-alligator
skin or morocco. Upon the back of the
envelope there is tiny staple of gold or
silver, over which fits snugly link OF
similar material attached to the flap. and
this is secured by a dainty little paddock
with Yale lock. Upon the face is an
open pocket for the insertion of card
bearing the address and the necessary
postage stamp. Two tiny keys accom-
pany each envelope. Having furnished
Phyllis with one of these, Corydon may
pour forth his hearts tenderest devotion
TO her upon paper, lock it up, and send 1t
on its way, rejoicing in the certainty that
she only to whom it is directed will be
able to scan its sacred pages. That the
envelope will supply a want long felt in
the world of courtship can not be
doubted

press trains whizzing along at the rate OF
sixty miles an hour. just think how our

GOOD THINGS TO EAT.
Notes for Housekeepers Familiar with the
Secrets of the Kitchen.

Secrets OF the Kitchen.
Stuffed and baked cod makes de-
lightful Friday dish. Choose a middle
cut. and make a stuffing of bread
soaked in milk. or oyster liquor. and
squeeze out. Add a small minced
onion fried in tablespoonful of but
ter, dozen oysters, little parsley,
and pepper and salt. Sew it up firmly
and bake, turning it frequently, and
basting with butter and water. A
neat slice of pork may be skewered
over each end, and will serve to keep
the stuffing in as well as to flavor it.
Serve with oyster sauce, or with gravy
made from that in the pan.
A mock roast" of oysters is an ex-
celent substitute where one can not
have fire suitable for a real roast.
Drain the oysters from the liquor, and
place them in a hot fryin g-pan over a
moderate fire. AS fast as the liquor
collects draw it off, and continue this
process until they are done brown,
when serve hot with little fresh but
ter on each.
Another nice oyster dish which is
more common in England than here
is made by wrapping good-sized oys-
tiers each in thin slice of fat bacon,
and fastening with small wooden
skewer. Heat. frying-pan well. and
cook until the bacon is crisp. Oar
E. glish cousins who indulge in such
appetizing names for their astronom-
ical dainties as "dog-in-the-b blanket"
and toad d-in-the-hole," call the above
',angels on horse back" and ometimes
''little pigs in blankets.
An oyster loaf is somewhat elab-
crate dish, but qu'te delicious enough
to pay for the trouble. Take stale
loaf of bread (baker's or very light
home-made) and remove all the crumb.
being careful that the loaf retains its
proper shape. Break the crumbs up
fine and dry slowly in hot oven.
Then fry three teacupfuls Of them in
as many tablespoonfuls of hot butter,
until they are crisp and light brown
in color. Put quart of rich milk
over the fire, and when it boils stir in
two spoonfuls of -four that has been
wet up with half cup Of cold milk.
cook well and season with pepper and
salt Put layer of this inside the
loaf then a layer of oysters. seasoned
with salt and pepper, and another Of
crumbs. Alternate until the loaf is
full, letting the last layer be a thick
one of crumbs. Bake slowly half au
hour. .---Rurdl New Yorker.

SCOT is very valuable fertilizer,

Some one has wisely observed that
the farmer who sends corn to market
in the shape of fat oxen. sheep and
pigs is always sure of getting paid for
his crop. The manure pays for the
cost of feeding. The man who sells

Melons can be started in hot bed,

An Ohio farmer, who has made
various experiments in fattening
swine states that he has tested the
feeding Of cooked and uncooked corn
for hogs, and also ground and un.
ground food. He claims that bushel
of corn fed on the cob will produce
nine pounds of pork, while an equal
quantity. ground and fed raw, will
yield twelve pounds. A bushel of corn
boiled made thirteen and half pounds
of pork. and bushel of meal cooked
made sixteen and ha'f pounds.

A FOUR FOOTED CLOCK.

Now in the dark it expands to circle and
nearly fills Il e surface Of the eyeball, so that
it collects and transmits to the retina the
faint rays of light that are in what appeart
to our more limited power of vision to bt
absolute darkness.
This popularity Of the cats eyes is turned
to account in curious manner by the Chi.
nese. The Able Hue relates that when he
was travelling in China he asked his attend,
ant what time it was The man went to a
cat that was quietly basking in the sun and
examining its eyes told the able that it was
about two hours after noon. On being ques
toned how he knew that he explained that
the pupils of cats eyes were largest in the
morning, and that they gradually grew
smaller as the light increased until they
reached their minimum at noon, that then
they began to widen again, until at night
they once more became large
The good able was filled with admiration
for the ingenuity of people who could use
cats as clocks. But it must be admitted that
this way of telling the time of day is rather
a loose one, and could OILY be trusted in very
serene clear weather. for temporary gloom
or the darkness of a storm would sadly de-
range the four footed clock and put it all
wrong,
