EightIng the Fire Damp.

This mine, while one of the largest,
was also one of the most DANGEROUS
n the valley. In order to keep the
workings supplied with pure air, in
quantity sufficient to render harmless
the explosive gases released by open
ing the coal seams, an immense ian
had been constructed which, during
Bvsry minute that it was IN action,
drew forth from the mine over two
hundred thousand cubic feet of i'm
pure air. Even with this great air
current, there were very dangerous
parts Of the mine, requiring the ut
most vigilance from the miners. To
hear Of some miner or labOrer firing
the gas IA his chamber and being
burned thereby was a matter of al
most weekly occurrence. In pits
OF this character, where is a
plentiful air current, it Is
often a custom with miners to
''hre' the gas IN their working places
before q quantity sufficient to render
It's combustion dangerous accumu-
lates. When this Is done the gas will
take fire with a noise not unlike that
made Ia lighting a common gas let.
There IS such an excess of air that the
explosion Of the gas IS very weak and
harmless. The flame, often three or

Canned Goods.

The Grocers' Chronicle insists tina {
the fact that canned goods are cooked
goods cannot be too widely known or
carefully remembered by users. They
are not put up in vessels from which
they are to be eaten when convenient
to consumers, but are only packed IN
tins IN order to preserve them. No
canned goods are guaranteed to keep
fresh and remain sound for any num-
Der Of days after being opened. When
opened the contents Of the tin should
be Immediately turned out and eaten
as soon as possible. IF the food
must be kept at all, cover it up and
keep in a cool place, always, however,
turn out Of the original tin. The

prawns are improved by be-

with clean cold water. Never on any
account add vinegar, sauce, or any
kind OF COndiment to timed goods
while they are in the tins, and never
leave such mixtures to remain an
hours or two, If from forgetfulness it
is done.
All timed goods are put up as fresh

tion; as long as the oil is good the fish

days is long enough to trust these be-

buy larger packages of canned goods
than they can consume quickly; if
they should, most Of the fish and
meats can be ported after recoOking,

it is as impossible to partake of an

Some light is thrown on the question
WneGner cOrn-fed pork IS best, by q.
remark OF one lady to another recent
": Chow much more gravy you get
out Of your pork than we do" The
latter used corn-fed pork, whose
recommendation is that it does not
''fry away" Bnt the users OF such
pork always complain of it as too fat.
They are eating in the pork what the
good housewife carefully puts away in
a crock to use for shortening for pies.
1t Is not lost to have the fat fry out
of the meat. It is still as good as
lard. Which it really Is mixed with
enough salt to season it.
Prof. Shelton, OF the Kansas Agri-
cultural College, states that corn
planted thickly in drills, and shocked
when the ear has fairly passed the
milk stage, is the best and cheapest
fodder. This is agreed to by Wis
cOnsin dairymen who have used larger
and larger quantities every year.
Dairymen in Dakota should make q
note of this, and learn to appreciate
the value OF the corn crop, as their
neighbors do.

Care of the Head.

DR.. Nichols, senior editor OF Popular
Science News, in an article in that
journal, attributes the early badness
Of men, which is now so noticeable In
churches, theaters, Iecture-rooms and
political assemblies, to modern false
methods OF treatment of the hair and
scalp. There is too much washing,
shampOoing and rubbing done, too
much soap, ammonia and alcohol
used for the good Ofthe hair. He says:
Women do not sha mpOO or wash
their hair as often as the other sex
and consequently they are in q large
degree exempt from badness in mid
die life. 1t is true, however, that
mas-y women In cities make frequent
visits to the hairdressers, and subject
their tresses to the securing process.
If this becomes common, 1t WillnOt be
long before badness will overtake the
young mothers as well as the fathers,
and the time Will be FASTENED when
the children even will have no hair
to destroy with ammonia or other
CaustiC cosmetics.
The advice we have to offer to
young men and maidens is: Let your
hair alone; keep at a sale distance
from hairdressing-rOOm and drug
shops, where are sold oils, alkaline
substances, alcoholic mixtures, ETC.,
for use upon the hair. The head and
the hair may be washed occasionally
with soft, tepid water, without soap
of any kind. AS a rule, the only app
planes needed in the care Of the
hair are good combs and brushes; and
they should not be used harshly, so
as to wound the scalp. Avoid all
electric" and Wire-made brushes.
No electricity can be stored in a hair
brush; if it could be, it is not needed.
The hair is a beautiful gift OF nature,
and it must not be destroyed.

Hard and son

Hard and Soft Water in Cooking
All cooks do not understand the
different effects produced by hard and
soft water in cooking meat and vege-
tables. Peas and beans cooked in
hard water, containing lime or gyp-
sum, will not boil tender, because
these substances harden vegetable
caseine. Many veget ables, as onions,
boil nearly tasteless in soft water, be-
cause all the flavor is boiled out. The
addition of salt often checks this, as
in the case OF onions, causing the veg
etables to retain the peculiar flavor
ing principles, besides such nutritious
matter as might be lost in soft water.
For extracting the juice Of meat to
make broth or soup, soft wafer,
unsalted and cold at first, IS best, for
it much more readily penetrates the
tissue; but for boiling where the Juices
should be retained, hard water or
soft water sailed is preferable, and
the meat should be put in while the
water is boiling, so as to seal up the
pores at once.
