skeptical over the notion of cabbage
being properly cooked in halt hour
as any one of you can be; but my
first experiment corrected me, and
all who tasted this maligned vegeta-
BILE served after the new method de-
clared themselves surprised. Have
plenty of sailed, boiling water, in
which a teaspoonful of soda has been
dissolved, plunge the cabbage in, top
downward. leave it uncovered and
let it boil until tender; that will be
as given in the timetable, from
twenty minutes to half an hour.
Take it out iuto a cOlander, drain
well, put into a hot dish, put in bits
of butter, some salt and pepper, and
serve at once. 1t will be as delicate
as cauliflower; the color will he re-
tanned, and there will not be an I'M

as is always associated with boiling
cabbage. Try it once, and then see
if the school kitchen learning has not
gotten several steps in advance OF

I'm THE BLACK COUNTRY.
A Sad Picture OF Woman Life In
England's Darkest Corner.


Zone woman at work in shop be-
hind clean and tidy cottage had been
making nails for thirty years. She got
I'D. for making 1000 nails, and by
working long hours she could make Sd.
a day net" One little shop, from ten
to twelve feet square, was in full
swing, where were four young women
hard at it," and if they could keep it
up for six days at fifteen hours a day
their gross earnings would amount to
the surprising sum of 6s. Sd. each
But the clear earnings of these young
women-skillful, persistent unweary-
ing workers; their arms thin, but
hardened by unceasing toll; their
chests fiat, their faces pallid, and their
palms and fingers case-hardened by
bellows, hammer, oliver and rod-will
run to IS. sd. per week when in full
work.
The "oliver," it should be explained,
is spring tilt-hammer operated by
the foot of the worker and discharging
the duty of a mechanical striker. Its
weight varies from ten to thirty
pounds. 1t is a very striking sight to
see clever girl at her work making
leone" or "cOuntersunk" nails, or
''pipe" nails, "spoonheads'' and gut
ter spikes" Her left hand holds the
rod which is red-hOt at one end, out
of which the nail is fashioned. With
her right hand she yields the forming
hammer, and with her left leg she
works the lever; while her eager face
is all the time bowed to the anvil eX-
cept, when Strengthening herself up,
she turns from the anvil to the bellows
to blow up the fire. But when these
girls are aged or about to become mo-
theirs the sight is still more striking
and makes one wish that one had never
seen it or heard of it, it is so pitiful
and sad, not TO say unkind and unna-
tural. 1t would seem to be next to
impossible in the present state of
things to regulate the hours of labor,
for the nailmaker's shop is his house,
and his house is castle. But that the
nailmaker's sanitary surroundings
should be so shocking there Is no
reasonable excuse. Saturday Review.

Telegraphy on Trains.

Telegraphy from moving trains,
which was invented by Mr.. w. w.
Smith, is about to be put in service on
the work trains on Lehigh Valley Road.
1t has been doing service on passenger
trains on that line for the last eighteen
months and has proved very popular.
Each train is accompanied by an
operator and messages are sent and re.
ceived at ease while running at the
rate Of fifty miles an hour. During the
great blizzard on the Atlantic coast
last year this was the only telegraph
line in that section that was not affect
ed, and in consequence proved very
valuable. The officials claim that by
putting it in use on work trains where
they employ hundred men, If train
is delayed they can tell exactly where
it is and do not lose any time running
to stations for orders.

Too Much Good Form.

There is one thing that has destroy
ed the first charm of the girl in New
York-the charm of simplicity" said
cynic, land that is her education up to
a routine observance of what she terms
good form. There is scarcely anything
more disagreeable than young woman
who is constantly guarding every
movement she makes, and by no acct
dent ever evincing the naturalness of
youth. This geometric propriety of
living has become a mania with many
girls. No matter what their normal
disposition may be, or their mental
caliber, they dare to base their claims
for attention, and even love, on the
grounds of their absolute knowledge of
good form. They know just the proper
clothes to wear on all occasions; they
know about the applicability of every
item of apparel, of household furni-
ture, of the use of words, of methods of
hair-dressing, of walking, of eating
they know it all. And Of course they
but the fact that they want to impress
on your mind from morning till night
that they know it all is what makes
them unpleasant companions. Etiquette
and form are their gods, and they wor-
ship at those shrines to the exclusion
of every thing that we love in girl
hood. Their precise gestures, their
conscious attitudes, their assurance to
you that So and So (whOm you are
especially fond of is such awfully
bad form, makes you hate them. You
get so you delight in the company of a
girl who is bad form, and almost long
for one who will wear cameo bracelets
and say darn it, and walk like base
ball player. While the refining infu-
ence of modern society in this city has
undoubtedly reared for us some of
the most delightfully."- sweet and magni-
fcent girls on the face of the earth,
nevertheless there is among them a
very large contingent which couldn't
stand the strain, who were, in fact, of
a quality not fine enough to absorb
gentility and have it an unconscious
part of themselves. So this sort goes
about making an exhibition of good
manners. They are what used to be
termed in old times nasty nice. They
serve good form up with soup, with
the coffee, with their songs; with
their dogs and with their men,
They indeed fall in love with a
man because he knows all the
niceties of elegant life, and if man
gets reputation for leading cotillons
and driving a tandem, never forget
ting all the while to wear exactly tho
tint of gloves requisite for each exer-
else, he is hero fit to rave about, be-
cause he is such awGully good form,
don't you know"
All of which, as any sensible person
will admit, is very, very tiresome.

A Terse Epitaph.

A cross on lonely Snake mountain,
All blackened and bearing the stain
OF seasons of sleet and sunshine,
Vicissitudes, landslides, and rain
A cross all rough wrought and battered,
Tt YEARLY leaned to one side,
Seen only by chance, or traveller
Who happened that tough trail to ride.
An inscription craven upon it
Told the story of who lay beneath;
There wasn't sign of a garland
No verdure, much less wreath.
That scroll was food for reflection
Rough-carver, but deep in the wood,
1t told the sad details briefly,
But as nothing more copiously could.
The crazy, ill-spelled inscription
Told why the deceased had gone higher
It said, without weak ming comment,
HE called Sandy johnson liar"

PARALLEL LINES.

Every student knows that in close
reasoning parallel lines of thought
are laid down and deductions educed.
1t is not our purpose at this time to
enter into learned discussion, and
we have drawn the above visible lines
simply to bring them prominently
before your eye and to ask what they
represent to you.
Arailroad man to whom we showed
them said, "To me those four lines re-
present q double-track railway"
A doctor replied to the same inter-
rogatory, "The lines are to me the
large arteries and Veins lying
alongside each other in the human
body"
AS will be observed the same lines
to either gentleman suggested differ
ent lines OF thought, as both looked
at them through eyes accustomed
to see only that which for the most
part occupied their attention. To
the writer both answers put an old
truth in fresh and original light.
AS every intelligent man or woman
knows, the blood of every living per-
son flows with almost railroad speed
through the arteries, forced by that
wonderful engine, the heart. From
the arteries it is side-tracked through
the capilliaries and veins, and every
drop OF blood goes through the kid
neys for publication no less than
$500 times every twenty-four
hours. Ifthe kidneys be diseased the
impurities of the blood containing
the worn out tissues, and deleterious
acids are not drawn out or eXcreted
as nature intended, but continually
pass and repass through every fiber
OF the system, carrying death and de-
cay with every pulsation. Unless
remedied the heart becomes weaken
ed, the lungs trying to do double
work break down, the liver becomes
congested, the stomach refuses to d.
gest food and the result is a general
break down.
Why?
Because the kidneys, the sewers of
the system, are foul and stopped up,
and the entire blood becomes nothing
more nor less than sewage.
Now isitnot criminal, nay, suicidal,
to allow such a state of things to
continue when a simple remedy is
within your reach, known for a GER
tainty to do as represented, which
will open the closed pipes of the kid
neys, allow the ef1ete matter to es-
cape, relieve the overworked heart,
lungs and liver, cause a healthy APP
petite, put the bloom of health in
your cheek, the dove of hope in your
breast and the light of life in your
eye?
You already have OWNED the rem
edy we have reference to; it's praise is
universal, it's influence worldwide.
Do not allow prejudice to blind you
to your best interests, but to-day
procure Warmers safe cure and be
put on the straight road to rude
health and correct living.
Our parallel and closing lines to
you are, take our advice and your
experience will Justify you in thank
ing us for bringing under your no.
tice remedy without a parallel.
