The Railway age says: The 2-cent-
fare law in Michigan goes into effect
October /, and will result in material
reduction in passenger rates. Whether
or not business viii be sufficiently in
creased to counterbalance the re-
duction of one-third in the rate per mile,
as some claim, remains to be seen.
Meantime the legislature of Ohio, Hi
nois, Indiana and other states in which
the passage of a similar law is threatened
can well afford to wait and see what the
effect is in Michigan. If the rev.
euues of the roads are increas ed !,
or even not decreased, the railways will
be very willing to acknowledge it and
adopt the reduced rate. But a large
share of the passenger business of most
roads is already Improbable or barely
TemuneratIve. the companies depending
mainly upon the freight earnings for
existence, and in fact using the
freight receipts largely to enable them
to furnish still more COS thy and luxurious
accommodations for the passengers. No
where in the world does the traveller re-
oeive so much for his money as on the
railways of this country. It would be
great injustice to compel the roads to
carry for less than cost, and beside would
be poor policy, because it would tend to
lower the character of the accommoda-
tioDs furnished

Cooking Vegetables.

The cooking of vegetables is too little
studied by American housekeepers in general
With the exception of localities high upon
tie mountain divide of the continent, where
tie altitude affects the boiling of water, too
long time is usually allotted to the boiling of
tie common varieties of roots and garden
produce. The recollection of one simple fact
would go far to obviate this fault of treat
ment the fact that all vegetable substances
are properly prepared for food as soon as
they are tender enough to be eaten Were
Il is remembered we would have no more
OF watery potatoes or i'll odored cabbage; and
all the strong scented alliaceous family could
b. made ready for the table without impreg-
mating the house with their characteristic
flavor Turnips, onions and cabbage are the
most popular of winter vegetables, and we
dssire to call attention to the usefulness of
carrots as a dinner dish. Most housewives
know them only as one of the usual soup
vegetables Let them test our recipes for
stswing and frying them, and then thank us
for enlarging the dinner list.
As most winter or hardy vegetables are
kept long in cellars or storerooms, they are
greatly improved by being laid in cold water
for an hour or longer after they are washed
and prepared for boiling. All varieties con-
tain more or less water, which they lose by
evaporation, thus decreasing in weight and
size; unless this natural proportion of moist
ure is restored by immersion in cold water
before cooking, the cooked vegetable will be
sn aller and dryer than when in normal con-
diiion; there will be perceptive loss in sub
Sta nee and nutriment. Whether the natural
moisture of food substances is nutritious OF
not, the moisture certainly is a vehicle for
nutriment; and the fact is conclusively
proven that dish containing fair average
OF water Is both more digestible and more
satisfactory to hunger than one dry or con-

Plants in Witchcraft.

Occasionally, when the dairy maid churned
for long time without making butter she
would stir the cream with a twig of noun
tain ash, and beat the COW with another, thus
breaking the witchs spell. But, to prevent
accidents of this kind, it has long been GUS
tomary in tho northern counties to make
the churning staff of ash. For the same rea-
son herd boys employ an ash twig for driv-
ing cattle, and one may often see a mountain
ash growing near a house On the Continent
the tree is in equal repute, and in Norway
and Denmark rowan branches are usually
put over stable doors to keep out witches, a
similar notion prevailing in Germany. No
tree perhaps, holds such a prominent place
in witchcraft lore as the mountain ash, its
mystic power having rarely failed to render
fruitless the evil influence of these enemies of
mankind.
To counterfeit the spell of the evil eve,
from which many innocent persons were be-
leved to suffer in the witchcraft period,
many flowers have been in requisition among
the numerous charms used. Thus the Rus
sian maidens still hang round the stem of the
birch tree red ribbon, the Brahmans gather
rice, and in Italy rue is in demand The
Scotch peasantry pluck twigs of the ash, the
Highland women the groundsel and the Ger
man folk wear the radish. In early times
the ringwort was recommended by Apuleius,
and later on the fern was regarded as a pre-
sentative against this baneful influence The
Chinese put faith in the garlic; and, in short,
every country has its own special plants Ii
would seem, too, that after a witch was
dead and buried precautionary measures
were taken to Illustrate her baneful influence
Thus in Russia aspen is laid on a witch's
grave, the dead sorceress being then prevent
ed from riding abroad.-T F. Thiselton
Dyer in Popular Science Monthly.

Color in Furnishing.

In furnishing, the matter of coloring is q
point that should be carefully studied A
confusion of colors Will spoil any room, and
this holds good even to the smallest appoint
ment and decoration. A chair covering or
even cushion can prove almost as complete
Disagreement as carpet which does not
accord with the paper, curtains or wood
work
Colors possess character, and that of the
most divers sorts. Some huessuggest warmth
and cheer, while others breathe of GOODNESS
and repose; Blue, gray, drab and fawn are
the proper colors for sunny chambers, while
red, pink and buff belong to north rooms or
any into which the light comes in stinted
way. Even gloomy places can be made
cheerful by employing right colors, especially
when there can be added an open fire with a
bright brass fender
There Is one rule IN furnishing which people
of moderate means ought always to obey. vet
they are usually the least inclined to carry it
into practice. This rule is. not to be ham
pered 10y the fashion of the moment or afraid
of making ones rooms look unlike those of
ones friends
The fact that several ladies in ones narrow
visiting circle possess a certaip style of car
pets, chairs, tables, etc, Ought to prove a
good reason for buying articles entirely differ
ent i'll shape or color. Furniture not So
pretty is far preferable to having ones house
so like that of the right and left hand neigh
Dor that a new acquaintance can scarcely tell
which of tbe three domicieS he has entered

Women of Modern Greece.

The Greek damsel understands the art of
making herself attractive far better than the
Bulgarian maiden does, She is, in fact, a
more desirable commodity of the matrimonial
market than the latter from various stand
points; for, in addition to her other charms,
her father, instead of requiring purchase
money at her lovers hands, gives a dowry
She is the object of good deal of chivalrous
attention from her male relatives, which sur
rounds her with an additional halo of ro-
nance, and suggests to some extent the devo-
ton and chivalry of ancient Greece Ii her
father be man of limited fortune, her
brothers consider it point of honor to CON
tribute their own little savings towards max
ing her marriage portion up to a respectable
sum- Although the Greek peasant woman
works less in the fields, this does not mean
that she is wanting in industriousness If
Ter hands are less employed with the hoe or
reaping hook, they are deft enough in weav-
ing and spinning the rude native textures for
clothing the family. She also acquires great
expertness In trimming and training the
grape vines, making wine, butter, cheese and
all the lighter work about the farm
The holiday costume of the Greek peasant
woman is picturesque enough, but in one
feature, at least, it seemed to me rather want
either a gaudily colored silk kerchief or a
small cap deliberately embroidered or strung
With coins. A short, rakish looking jacket of
green or blue cloth is profusely trimmed with
gold braid. Down the back, and often falling
within foot of the ground, are long, luxuri-
ant black tresses, usually in two braids.
From the waist down her costume is highly
suggestive of an inverted balloon. Whether
tn call the garment SKIRT or pantaloons was
always question with me. From the waist
downward it gets fuller and fuller until it ter
inmates in the bulge of the balloon" with a
hole in either side at the bottom, through
which the feet appear. When walking, the
"oagginess" of this garment waggles about
ike the tail of a duck, which few, believe,
have ever thought to be the poetry of mo-
ton. The Greek female, charming though
she is, and, moreover, a devoted wife and
mother, has her weaknesses. Thomas Ste

An Experiment with the Memory

Starting with the word Washington, write
down 100 words just as they occur TO you.
Let your second word be the one which Wash
ington naturally suggests toyou. Possibly it
will be capitol. 1t may be president Take
the word which first comes INTO your mind
In the same manner let the third word be
suggested by the second, the fourth by the
third, and so on. Be careful that the third
word is not suggested by both the first and
second. Drop the first entirely, and let your
mind so from the second alone to the third.
Having written this list of words you will
have furnished yourself with a cheap but
very useful mirror of your mind If you are
able to use this mirror, you may discover
some very serious defects in your mental pro-
cesses. You may discover that you think
along certain lines too frequently You may
discover that you are using superficial prin-
ciples quite too much to the neglect of more
important laws of mind. You will thus be
led TO avoid certain linkings and to encourage
others of a more philosophical nature-W.

Keep Warm and BE Happy.

'If you want to be happy keep warm, says
Rose Terry Cooke. women are eaten up
with neuralgia, say the doctors. No wonder.
They sit all the morning by a hot register,
then tie the five or six inch bonnet over their
back hair, bit of lace film over their bangs,
put on kid boots, with silk or thread stock
ings underneath, and dawdle along the pave
with bitter winds of winter shifting their
temples, their delicate ears, their threats and
the bases of what should be their brain.
Their outward nerves shrink and culver under
this barbarous exposure But no matter
their chests are well covered with fur cloaks
and sacques, but cold feet, the numb ears,
the Redeemed temples, the exposed neck, will
have their own story to tell. Then you won't
wear flannel next the skin. Why? Because
your waists will look too large, and it is the
the style to be as near in shapeliness to that
delightful and lovely insect, the wasp, as
humanity can be forced. Do you really like
to ache and groan and to be laid aside every
few days with agonizing headaches, or pant
ing, laboring heartsl Strange, if trueI'
