WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY IS.

A TERRIBLE BEDFELLow. Mrs. I. j.
Eby lives with her husband on farm near
Mahantango, Juniata county, Pa. They have
a three months old baby, and the youngster
had terrible experience the other night,
Mrs. Epy had been in the habit OF putting
the baby in it's carriage and placing it under
q tree in the yard. The child also slept in
the coach at eight. a night or Two ago MIS-.
Ely heard her baby uttering half'snppres-
sed cry. 1t was soon still, however; but la
ter in the night the mother Was again awak,
ed. This time the cid continued TO cry, and
Mrs. Eoy took it to bed with her. The next
morning the woman was about to put baby
10 the carriage again, when she was sur,
prised to find large black snake coied
among the blankets She killed and burned
the reptile. The child's neck was marked
with red streaks; which indicated that the
snake had coiled around the child's throat.
Mrs. Ely thinks that the reptile tried TO
suck the milk out of the childs throat. The
little one has nearly recovered, but was very
sick for q few days Gettysburg ( Pa.) Com

How TO EAT 4 WATERMELON. a watermelon,
even though it be 6O-pounder is not intended
to be devoured in public nor is one watermelon
no matter what its weight may be, more than
enough for one healthy person This fact is prob
ably well known to every country schoolboy. Inc
art of eating watermelon and keeping cool is as
simple now as it was in the days of long ago. The
ripd should be slit with short bladed knife, SO
that when the melon is divided the heart Of it
shall rest in one of the halves in one luscious,
Juicy lump The knife should then be carefully
wiped snd then put in the pocket. Then the coat
should be taken off and the sleeves rolled up.
Plunge the right hand under one end OF the heart
snd the Loft hand under The other; lift the drip
ping mass to the mouth and fall to. The juice
will trickle down your arms and saturate your
face, but what of it? There is plenty and to
spare, though the feast is the rarest to be found

Apple Butter.

About year ago, says 4 writer in HIcks
Magazine, you asked whether the making
of the above was among the "lost arts,
and to judge by the recipe for making it,
which writer gave you, | don't wonder.
l will give you the old Pennsylvania plan
that we used to make by, and which we
still follow here fifty years later. If people
will follow this, and they then say the art
is lost, | will quit given instructions; To
forty gallons of good sweet cider made
from sound, ripe apples, use three bushels
of select apples. The cider should be
boiled down to one-third, or a little less,
before putting in the apples, which should
be pared clean, all specks, bruises, seeds
and seed cavities removed. They may be
quartered, or cut into eighths, if very
large. If, in hurry, the apples can be
boiled in little water before putting into
the cider. Stirring should commence as
soon as the fruit gets soft, and kept up
carefully until done. At all times prevent
the flames of fire striking the kettle above
the line of contents. When boiled down
| to ten gallons it will be done, and it will
be an article fit for king. Put in earthen

a Word for Chicken Meat.

What flesh is better in the human diet
than that of poultry of all sorts? We
allude especially to common fowls, as they
are more easily raised in great numbers
than ducks, geese or turkeys, barring cases
of special adaptability. We wish some old
ideas about such things as this could be
dissipated. The common poor farmer of
this country, as a rule, does not consider
good, fat fowl as the appropriate thing
for the meat part of his dinner after hard
mornings work in the field He eats few
chickens except on Sunday, or when he
has company. Yet, as a matter of fact, a
fowl or chicken contains more that is nu-
tritious, digestible, as well as relishable,
than the same weight of bacon. We do
not speak by the book alone, but again
our personal experience supports our posi-
ton. We have for generations been load
ing our stomachs, as a rule, with hog flesh.
1t is one of the habits that have bee in
herited, like others that ought to be abol-
ished or more frequently varied. OF course,
the lean portion Of hog, or other animal
flesh, contains matchmaking nitrates, but
this constitutes only small portion of the
bulk of sidemeat, besides it has hardened
by salt. On the other hand the fat part
is purely carbonaeeous food, containing, it
is true, some healthful juices, but nothing
that supports the muscles, the brains or
the nerves of the body, Just the elements
the working man needs in the toilsome
labor of the farm Cotton Pant
