GenneSarGt

The lake of Gennesaret Is about the
size of Windermero, but rather broader.
1t lies $50 feet below the level of the
Mediterranean, ana ia hordered on both
the east and west sides by steep declevi-
ties. from no pavt of the western shore
csn its whole length be seen, but whed
well out in the middle of il, near the
northern end, 1t seems to prolong itself
southwark to jninity, the low land where
the Jordol leaves it not being visible
The rocks which surround it are not es-
pecially beautiful, and there are hardly
aGy trees on the bank Seen undera
gray northern sky it would seem very
commonplace. We have all of US visited
numbers Of lakes which in very many re-
spects are it's superiors. Atmosphere,
however, is a marvellous beautifer, and I
can not imagine there being two opinions
about the lOvliness of the scene which
was presented to US on the Both of De-
Cember. As we streeched out into the
lake cur eyes and thoughts were given to
the bread features of the laudsoape-to

The plain of Gennesaret is small piece

of which makes 1t two miles and a half
long by one broad. Well watered and
fertile, 1t enjoys a climate very superior
to that of the ragged uplsnds which hem
it in, and Josephua, with what craze for

To Make Gotta oc Cheese

Cottage cheese is best when made AS
soon as the milk is thick and firm. before
1t becomes disagreeable acid. Heat the
milk by placing the pan over boiling
water, or by pouring water slowly into tn
milk, string constantly i'll both cases.
Heating to 95e Fahrenheit, or, if you
have no thermometer. about as warm as
new milk, will coagulate the albumen
sufficiently tu separate it from the whey.
Pour In cloth to drain. To each pint of
the drained curd, add butter one-half the
size of an egg, and one half pint of sweet
cream; then add salt or not as suits your
taste. Place in molds or bowls, which
should be previously dipped in cold water,
and when wanted, turn out and serve.
Made in this way, it is as much superior
to that which has been heated till the
albumen tough, as a nicely-boiled one.
The principle is the same with both these
articles of food. Too great heat renders
the albunen tough, insoluble, unpleasant
to the taste and difficult of digestion.

Hop Growing in Washington Territory.

Puyallup Valley, the center of the hop
industry of Washington territory, has
recently completed the harvesting of an
enormous crop, and its farmers are con-
graduating themselves on the price OBJ
tained-22 cents per pound. The total
cost beied and delivered ct the railroad,
was nine cents, and the yield exceeded
one ton to the acre. The climate and
soil of the territory and of this particu-
lar Wiley ere too well adapted to the
growth of the plant, and its freedom
from tie pests of lice, m!ldew and other
drawbacks experienced elsewhere is here
so uniformly complete, that a maximum
annual yield can be depended upon with
the san certainty as the summers sun.
The only glorious uncertainty" about it
is the market price. As This fluctuates
from five cents to 1925 per pound, &C
cording to the supply and demand, the
business is truly exciting. An extensive
grower with hops at Eve cents per pound
finds himself unable to meet his iiabili.
ties, While the following year the same
yard may pay proit of $500 per acre
if marketed st 81 per pound. As the
land cleared of timber and planted with
vines, in rows seven feet apart and prop
erly pollsd, costs $500 per acre, to
which must be added d kiln Or oven for
drying and other paraphernalia, man
with small means can Only begin on an
extremely small scale. The pickle z
which constitutes one-ha lf of the expense
of raising, is dona by hand, and must be
paid for in cash every night. 1t furnishc
light and agreeable employment, for men,
women, children, Indians and Chinese.
The two latter excel thu whites in rapid
ity and thoroughness. One dollar per
box holding ten bushels is paid for
gathering, and uimb'e fingers are nso-
cessary to fill two boxes per day. The
drying of the herb in INC oven is deli.
cate operation, requiring the experience
of an expert, as It's proper performance
gives value to the commodity.

4 Singular Wellin Colorado.

The curious scientist has q wide field
for speculation before him, in 4 we'll
which the Denver Republican says is To-
Gated in the eastern part OF Arraphoe
county, Col. A few years ago some
pioneer settlers put down pipe we'll for
artisan water. They struck, at 400 feet,
not water, bat gas. Visions of Pitts
burg of the west confronted them. Pres
emily the presumed gnome laborers who
were working the blow fan at the bottom
of the we'll quit work, and another shift
commence to reel up. Instead of send
ing gas high into the air the well began
.ucking in air, and it continued for 36
hours. Ever since The well has spouted
gas so hours and then became powerful
suction pipe for So. OF course il is use
less unless it could be harnesBed 10 some
mechanical continuance that would run
by gas power part of the time and con
tinue to operate by u reverse wind mill
until tho gas comes again. This reads
like tho wild Imagining of some fevered
brain, but the Denver paper says 1t is IN
existence.

English Farming Not Prosperous

An English exchange states that a sad
illustration of the abnormal depression
through ~hich the country has been pass
ing is afforded from Heckington. Two
farmers were summoned before the local
magistrate for not contributing 10 the
support of their parents. Both we're
single men, and lived together. They
owned about s acres of lard, which, how
ever, WAS mortgaged for considerable
more than it would fetch in the market.
In addition to this they rent about 90
acres OF glebe land. They stated that
they worked early and late, aud were only
Just able 70 get bare living, and never
knew what it was to have fresh meat in
the house. They were unable TO earn
more than a shilling a day, and had not
sufficient clothes. They were anxious to
contribute to their parents maintenance,
but from poverty were unable TO do so.
The magistrates refused 10 make an or
der, not being satisfied as to the means of
defendants.

ICELAND,S METROPOLIS.
Little Trading City in the Far Away North
crn Island.

Reykjavik, poor little metropolis of
1000 inhabitants, has, nevertheless, its
sights and sounds. Its houses, with but
few exceptions of wood, consist usually
OF single story, but in isolated Instances
rise to the dignity of two. Through the
town runs wide and toierahly straight
street, on which live several of the digni-
tariss of the island-the bishop, the gov
ernor, the chief justice and other mem
bers of the government. Upon one side,
surrounded byswooden palings, Is the pub
lie square, in the center of which stands
a bronze ss2tue of Thorweldsen, presented
by the Danish government 10 the native
country of the sculptor.
At the farther end is the little cath
edral, which contains g marble font by
the artist himself. Around the different
sides of the square are gtouped the new
parliament house, the postotfice, and a
school for girls, which draws its pupils
from all parts of tbs country. One of
the most imposing buildings of the CAPT
tai is the jail, and two of the most awe
spring of her citizens are the police
men, who in turn patrol the streets in
felt helmets aud Uniform.
1t was not discovered, however, that
they ever arrested anybody, because no
body ever so far forgot himself as to
warrant arrest. The jail consequently is
always empty, fact that can be but i'm
perfectly understood when one sees its
manifest superiority to all other dwellings.
One of the policemen exercises in ad-
dition to his function OF guardian CT the
public seal, that of librarian of the Ice
land Literary Society, which was estab-
lished as long ago as 1916, and has pub
lished many many works. He is also an
author and has written at least one valu-
able book.
The streets of Reykiavik are unpaved,
but at certain corners, wide apart, stand
lam posts, whereon burn kerosene lamps
to light the belated citizen 20 his door.
One of the most characteristic OF street
sights is the long lines Of ponies that al
most continually come and go, bringing
loads of dried fish and carryitg back the
| necessaries of life, and almost all OF LIES
| necessary demands for Iceland must be
supplied from without. Even the WOOD
with which the houses are framed comes
from Norway, and must be taken into the
| interior on the backs of horses. w. Il

Facts Collected to Show the Length of Time
Occupied by a Dream.
London Globe
The question of the duration of dreams
has recently been discussed IN Germany.
among others by d.. E. Schclz, who has
given some striking examples from his
Owe experience and observation. Ii Is
not pos>lsle 10 give definite answer,
and probably many dreams vary very
much in point OF duration, iast as they
vary IN force anG yiyidness. A. one time

are as reGi SIS III life, the sorrow is even

only in pale moonlight, and VS. watch
the scanes rather ihan participate in
theO. Il Is very certain, however, that
the us Iority of dreams are emily of no
measar. duration, though extended &C
casiously TO the length of minute.
In proof of this DR.. Schclz tells the
following story frtm his experience:
after excessive bodily fatigue and q dsy
of mental strain OF no. disagrseable
kind, betook myself TO bed after had
wound my watch and placed it on the
tab'e. Then lay dosn beside burning
lamp. Soon found myself on the high

clouds fioated around me. How long l

very lcng time. Then the seems changed.
was IN the country and my lOng-dead
parents came 10 greet me; they took me
TO church where the loud organ sounded.
l was delighted, but at the same time
wondered to see my wife and childrsu
there. The priest mounted the pulpit
and preached, but I could not understand
what he said tor the sound of the organ,
which continued to play. l took my son
by the hand and with hun assembled the
church tower, but again the scene was
changed. Instead of being near my son
stood near an early known but long
dead otficer-I ought to ex plain that
was IN army surgeon during the maueuv-
ers. [ was wondering why the major
should look 80 young, when quite close in
my ears cannon sounded. Terrified, I
was hurrying of, whea l woke up and
noticed that the supposed canrou shot
had its cause in the opening Of the bed
room door through some one entering.
1t was as if had lived through an ete1n-
ity in my dream, but @hsn l locked ct my

not more than one minute had elapsed
much shorter time than it takes to re-

Noufh'S Communion.

Giuttony is not the sin of this age, but
hundred years ago there were many
men and women who lived to eat. Their
god was their belly. One of them, p
Frenchmap, when a youth of 26, was
found sitting down, alone, 10 seven roast
turkeys, merely that ne might enjoy their
oysters" that delicious nCrsel found in
the depression of the eide bones This
glutton lived to be so, witt but one pur-
pose, to eat and drink.
Cereue, who cooked for George ". of
England and for Alexander l. of Russia,
said: Men who knew how to eat ere as
rare as good cooks. Look at the great
musicians and physicians; they are all
gastronomers-n
But Careme admitted that there vas
one great man who was neither great
eater nor judge of good eating. Ma
poleon ate very plain food, and little of
1t. though always with hunger and rap
idity. He drank little wine, for it excited
him, and ne had TO have 6 cool head.
There is an old story which relates that
London Alderman pronounced the
turkey IS a most unsatisfactory bird. 1t
Is too much for one, and not enough for
two. The Saturday Review giTes the orig
inal story as follows:
And then, sir, ~e topped off with

Wintering Tender Plants.

Those who do not want to take the
trouble to protect anything in winter
must, in this climate and further north,
be content with fewer Kinds of plants.
If they desire shrubs, such things as
lilac, snow ball, upright honey-suckle,
the common barberry, the fringa. the
Judas tree, bladder seuna, some of the
dogwoods, sumachs, mock-oranees and
robinis, or false acacia are all hardy
enough and will stand winter. Wizelias
are in the main hardy, and the burning
bush, swamp azalees, Carolina allspice,
or sweet-scented shrub, scorpion-senns,
dentzias, silver bell, rose of Sharon,
Japan globe-fouer, ard the privets ere
all liable to injury. Among climbing
plants, American woodbine, virgins
bower, yellow and scarlet hoIeysuckle,
can take care of themselves; but the
sweet scented honsysuckle and climbing
roses, except Ayrshire and a similar
class, are net csrtsin- Sometimes they
GO through all right, or just the tips get
injured; at other times they cut badly.
Among the border plants, some like the
phloxes, columbines, ascipeias, Solomon's
seal, bleeding heart, fraxiuelis. some of
the day lilies, karden-roeket, lychnis, pa
conias and vslerian are hardy enough to
stand almost anything.

Tho IhiSiln.

With ard 10 lie oiroum stances under
which the thistle was adopted as it. en-
blem by the Scottish nation, cores pom
dent in London relates the following:
Queen Scotia mad led her troops in g. well
fought field and when the day was won,
retired to the rear from her tolls. She
threw herself upon the ground, where rs
i'll luck would hsve it, the enviGus thistle
had selected TO grow at the very spot of
her reposc. Whether the fair Amazon
fought in the national custom, know
not, but tbs spines of the offending herb,
were sufficiently powerful to penetrate
the skin in o very painful manner.
Queen Scotia spreng up, and tore the
thistle up by the roots. She vas about
to cast it from her with a military ex-
preston, when it struck her that the
prickiy plant would henceforth bassociat-
ed in her mind with the glorious victory
she had Just gained. Her intention was
changed. So she placed the thistle in
her casque and it 5ecame the badge of
her DYNASTY.
