PINEAPPLE CREAM.-Take tin of pre-
served pineapple, pound the contents in n
mortar, add SIX ounces of sugar and half
pint of water; boil for quarter Of an hour
and press it through a fanny. Dissolve
one ounce of Nelson's or seven sheets of the
best French gelatine in little milk; whip
to troth one pint of cream. Mix the gel
atlne with the pineapple pulp, then quickly
work into it the cream. Pour the mixture
into mold and put it upon ice to set. When
wanted dip the mold in hot water and turn
out the cream.
For FISH without much flavor make
caper butter, simply done and inestimable
at table. Chop one tablespoonful of capers
into mince and with wooden spoon rub it
through fine sieve, add saltspoonful of
salt, quarter of that quantity of pepper
and an ounce and one-half of butter; mix
together thoroughly. Make a foundation
of this on a dish and let the fish be served
upon it. For Mayonnaise beat the yelk
of raw egg into foam, adding few drops
or purest Lucca OIL, in quantity half pint,
beating together until perfectly amalga-
mated. Mix in large bowl teaspoonful
or ground mustard, one of salt and one-half
of viaegar; add this to the above and beat
1t all into thick creamy batter. Flavor
with vinegar or lemon juice and cover it
very closely. The quantity can be doubled
for present and future use, as it will keep
sweet and pure for weeks in cool place.
WHEN summer days are long and white
heat lies over the earth, the appetite Graves
something cooling and refreshing in the
way of sauces Hot meats or other steam
ing food are revolving. If there is cold meat
of any sort place it in delicate slices, minus
fat, on fiat dish lined with leaves of crisp,
cool lettuce. Over this bed pour cucum-
Der salad prepared carefully. Pare six or
more fine fresh cucumbers cut lengthwise
into four pieces; lay them for one hour into
cold water Then place them on the bed of
lettuce. When there is no dislike TO onions
slice two large Spanish onions of the mildest
and mix with the cucumbers. 1t is usual to
have the onions placed separately On an
other dish, sliced, with vinegar and pepper.
Raw tomatoes are frequently sliced, sea
soned and sent to table after the fashion of
cucumbers

The most blase fish that ever wore scales
and Stunned a baited hook will draw near
in thrilled wonderment to an electric light
submerged in his native element and so be
allured to his fate. The United States
steamer hlbatross has been fitted with cleo
trio fishing lights for the conduct of scion
titic research, and preliminary experiments
with these lights have revealed the fact that
the curiosity of fish to investigate thus un-
wonted radiance brings them to the light III
shoals.
At recent meeting of the Physical So
ciety, London, C. Y. Boys described and
performed some experiments on soap bub-
bles, and by their aid demonstrated ina re-
markable manner the phenomena of surface
tension, diffusion and the magnetic proper
ties of gases. By blowing one bubble inside
another he showed that there is no electro
cal force inside closed conductor. A pc
culiar property of soap bubbles is their re-
fusal to come into contact when knocked
against each other; they may receive VIC
lent shocks and still remain separate II,
however, an electrical body be brought in
the vicinity they Immediately coaIesce. SO
sensitive are they to electrical attraction
that potential difference due to one LIE
clanche cell between the two Bubbles causes
them to unite. They may thus serve as a
very delicate electroscope.
In a recent work by Prof. Burggraeve, of
Client, the prominent theory maintained is
that salt is the great regulating agent of
| life, and on the proper use of which human
longevity largely depends. Among the in
teresting facts recited Ivy Prof. b. is that
about the end of tho last century terrible
epidemic, bearing some analogy to scurvy,
broke out in Saxony, making such rapid
progress among the poorer classes that the
| government ordered an inquiry into its ma
| ture aud course. The result was the estab-
lishment of singular fact, viz, that min
erS, although reduced to the same misery as
other workmen, remained with their fami-
lies completely exempt from the malady.
The diet of the miners differed from the
others only in one point, viz, that being
employed by the State they were supplied
with salt gratuitously. Salt was then pre-
scrihed as a curative measure and the cpl
| demic disappeared.

Popular Science.

Scarlet fever is at it's minimum from
January to May, and at its maximum in
October and November. Diphtheria is
more evenly distributed through the year
and is most dangerous little later than
scarlet fever. Measles and whooping cough
seem to be somewhat aggravated by cold
weather. but are most fatal IN May and
June. Hot weather is adverse to smallpox
and favorable TO disorders Of the bowels,
particularly IN children.
Railway brain" is a term applied by Dr.
Thomson TO a neurosis Of general derange-
ment of the nerves produced by shock re-
ceived by the head on a railway car. In
the particular case described no wound was
received and consciousness was preserved
at the time of the injury. Afterward the
patient became melanchoic aud complained
of insomnia, headache, spinal pain, weari-
ness and failure Of appetite. A hygienic
and palliative treatment was given.
The average daily supply of water deliv-
cred from the Thames to London consumers
during the last month was ", 1856, 1872 gal
Ions, from the Lea, 81, 047, 49s gallons; from
springs and wells, 10, 1927 gallons; from

Small Grain and Hay for Horses.

On this subject Prof j. E. Willet, of Ma
con, says in the Southern Cultiuator: For
several years past l have planted a small
quantity of barley or oats in city garden
as winter food for a horse. l found the
profuse beard of the former Objectionable,
and the latter has been frequently killed or
crippled by our "cold snaps brother
ln-law suggested rye, drilled in rich ground,
as good substitute for both. have drilled
few rows of rye, in my garden, for two
years past and have been greatly pleased
with the result. The soil is unusually sandy
but has been well MANFRED for a dozen
years. The seed were drilled in November;
the first cutting occurred in February and
two good cuttings were made by the middle
of April. The plants were almost as stocky
and well-tillered as barley. The amount of
green food obtained was surprising. The
only labor has been the putting in of the
seed and the cutting of the grain.
l write this note for two reasons: First,
to recommend rye for winter grazing and
winter cutting. Oats are becoming quite
unreliable, in consequence of the "cold
snaps which seem to have become chronic
with us. Every two or three winters the
thermometer drops down to TO- or its neigh
borhood, for one night OF more, and the fall
oats are badly injured. Many arc abandon-
ing the planting OF oats in the fall in conse-
quence. Barley is Objectionable from its
beard and from requiring very rich soil.
Rye is more hardy than oats and, when well
manured, will give satisfactory returns.
Secondly, to encourage the growing of
cheaper food for the horse. Horse food, at
the South, outside of city stables, is almost
exclusively Indian corn and fodder. When
we remember that it takes five months,
with plows, hoes and wagons, to put this
corn and fodder into the barn, we may see
some of its expensiveness as food. l only
repeat what has been said many times be-
fore, that we alone of the civilized world
indulge in such expensive food. Every
where else horses are fed on oats and hay
The livery stables in Southern cities have
found this out and eschew corn and fodder.
In the Northern States Indian corn is com
ing to be used largely for green food. Here
is good lesson. But the great lesson we
are to learn is pasturage, small grain,
grasses, hay, for all our stock. Don't cult
vate broad domain to feed a horse or mule
or COW. They will delight to live on cheap
er rations than that if you will allow them
to do So

Hot Water for Plants.

1t is fortunate circumstance, says Weeks
Magazine, that all plants will endure a
scalding heat that is fatal to most of its
minute enemies. Water heated to the boil
ing point, poured copiously over the stem
of an enfeebled peach tree and allowed to
stand about its collar, will often have the
happiest restorative effects. Trees showing
every symptom of the yellows have often
been rendered luxuriantly green and thrifty
again by this simple means. The heat is
presumably too much for the fungus which
had infested the vital layers of the tree i'm
mediately under the outer bark.
The London florists recommend hot water
up to 145' F. as remedy when plants are
sickly, owing to the soil souring, the acid
absorbed by the roots, acting as poison.
The usual resort is to the trouble job of re-
potting. When this is not necessary for
any other reason, it is much simpler to pour
hot water freely through the stirred soil; it
will presently come through tinged with
brown. After this thorough washing, If the
plants are kept warm, new root points and
new growth will soon follow.

PLUCKY LITTLE WOMAN.
| How She Captured a Burglar and
Held Him For Two Hours.
From, the CHICAGO NelC

From the CHICAGO NeiOS
II pride myself I've got as nervy a wife
as there is in the city," said a jolly, fat con-
ductor on the Illinois Central, 'and she's
proved it over and over again. The first
time 1 noticed it was several years ago.
We had Just been married, and | was
breaking on a freight train. / used to get
home at II AS O'Clock at night, and my sup
per was always waiting for me. Generally
my wife would go to sleep after she had
prepared the meal, and ] would come in,
light the lamp and eat alone. But one
night as / approached the house, i saw the
lamp was burning brightly, and my wife
was sitting by the window On the oppo-
ste wall was a mans reflection. | didn't
like the looks of things. | couldn't imagine
who my wife would have for a visitor at
midnight, and | was further put out when
she refused to turn her head as | walked up
the stairs. | whistled and stamped my
feet, but she didn't turn round, and was
obliged to open the door with my latch key.
| tell you | was just boiling, and was just
going to open my mouth to her, when she
said:
MY dear, here is gentleman who has
been waiting for you for about two b urs "
| looked at the visitor. He was rather
tough-looking man and he seemed terribly
II don't know him. Who is hes"
"'Well, she said, I've enjoyed his CON-
pany for two hours, and found him very
entertaining
II turned on her savagely, and then ]
noticed for the first time that she was in
her night-clothes. l was furious. | began
a terrible TRADE against her and the fellow
edged around nervously on his chair. She
interrupted me:
"Come off, she said, this man is a burg
lar. He broke in here and | caught him
Then | saw she had the poker in her hand,
and it flashed over me III a second. Ny
first impulse was to kill the scoundrel, but
my wife interceded, and began to deliver
him a lecture on the idiOcy of burgling the
| house of a married man who only got $40 a
month. | never saw a man suffer so in my
life. He was terribly frightened. His
teeth chartered, and his jaw dropped, and
the sweat and tears poured down bis
checks Then l got mad again and was
about to slug him when he began to beg
for mercy. He told me he was st. Louis
boy of good people, but had come here and
got into bad company, lost his money and
his honor, and took to thieying. guess he
was telling the truth. At any rate be-
lieved him and ran him out. Then my
wife fell over in dead faint. She had
been awakened in her first sleep by the man
breaking in, and she had risen, lit the
lamp in her room, taken the poker and sur
prised him. He was evidently new at the
business, for he was not armed. She held
him there for two hours till she heard me
coming There aren't many women who
could do that"

Sores on Cattle.

There are many sores on cattle which if
kept constantly washed clean with cold
water and kept free from dirt would heal
Of themselves. A very careful herdsman
says his practice of curing hoof rot is to
thoroughly cleanse the affected parts with
warm water and soap, and then apply warm
tar between the hoof. In very bad cases
there will be a large core come out; remove
it carefully with the thumb and finger,
cleanse the cavity as above with soap and
water, and then use warm tar. Keep the
parts thoroughly covered with tar, even if
it is necessary to use bandage. Keep the
animal in a clean, dry pasture. 1t is no
more liable to affect the whole system than
any other ulcer. When once cured there is
no danger of its appearing again unless
from the same cause.

Feed the Cows Well.

The PrGiTie Farmer says: Some farmers
and dairymen reason that when the price of
butter is low it does not pay to feed well.
They say: "There is no money in the bust
ness any way. The cows will come out all
right in the spring when they get on grass. y
Guess l won't put any grain into them and
no more hay than they will get along with. :"
So they feed lighter, probably do not shell
ter well, and the cows give a very small
quantity of poor milk from which the wo-
men folks can get but little butter and that
of inferior quality. Any farmer pursuing
this course virtually loses all the feed he
gives his cows just as an engineer would
lose all the fuel he used under the boiler if
he should keep only steam enough to move
the engine, but not enough to drive any
machinery. A certain amount of food is
necessary to maintain the life of the CO W
and it is the surplus beyond this flood of
maintenance" that returns profit LeaV-
ing plows to rust out in the last furrow, or
implements to rot in the field, is not more
ruinous than half-starving cows, under pre-
text that dairy products do not bring high
prices If there is any time when dairy
cows should have good care and good feed
it is when butter is low priced.

Drv Weather Farming.

The farmer who understands and attends
10 his business can make good crop no
matter if he does encounter a drouth. On
the subject of dry weather farming, cor
respondent of the Florida AgricuIttriSt
says: The proper way to manage crop
during dry spell is something every farmer
ought to know and understand, yet there
are comparatively few who know why they
should pillow or harrow, and where the plants
derive the benefit Not very many years
| ago the idea of draining ordinary land was
looked on as money thrown away, but after
years of thorough test this idea has changed
and now money invested in tile put under
IAe land is considered a profitable outlay.
%any farmers supposed that there was no
need Of working the soil unless there were
weeds that needed to be subdued.
Here again the observing and thoughtful
lsrmer has proven that cultivation not only
needed but that it improves the crop and
Increases the yield, even in dry weather.
we heard farmer explain the reason a
lew days ago, thus: 1.-THE cultivation keeps
ue soil loose so that it can absorb the dews
e''er." While he is partly right he does
uo' 90 deep enough to get at wherein the
Tu9 benefit is derived. The law Of capil-
AIRY attraction prevails to a more or less
'ggree in all soils according to their texture
except coarse gravel and clay, and the
eason that Florida can stand such long
routh with little damage is that her soil is
,ucn that capillary attraction is most per-

mulch was put on the land when wet it
would answer the same purpose, as it would
shade the ground and thus prevent evapo-
