7ioo Western inventors have recently
obtained patents for the use of sawdust
instead of sand in plastering compost
tions, ard this, it is conceived, may be
a matter of considerable importance to
the owners of sawmills in the principal
numbering towns. One of the patents
is for the use of nearly equal parts of
plaster of Paris OF cement and sawdust,
with the ordinary amount of plastering-
hair and water; the other calls for the
use of about four and a half pounds
each of slaked lime and sawdust to one
pound of plaster Of Paris, a quarter of
q pound of glue, and a sixteenth of a
pound of glycerine, with plaster's hair.
Whether OF not either of these described
plasters would be cheaper than those
made in the ordinary way, they would
certainly be lighter, and it is believed
that they would better adhere to the
walls, and not be so liable to chip, scale
and crack. SIfted sawdust has before
been used to some extent by expert
enced workmen for mixing with mortar
for plaster walls exposed to the alter
nate action of water and frost. as a
preventive of scaling. Certainly the
experiment of introducing sawdust in
place of sand in mortar is worth trying,
for in many places sharp sand suitable
for the purpose is difficult to obtain.

The ways IN which an omelet may be
made to vary are almost without num-
Der. The omelet with fine herbs is a
fayorite with those people who like high
seasoning. Then the most %fastidlous
delight in an omelet with mushrooms.
These, of course, must be chopped, or
be broken in fine bits, before they are
mixed with the omelet; parsley alone,
rubbed very fine, imparts a delicious
favor to a plain omelet; tomatoes added
TO the omelets just before 1t hardens,
those having been already cooked, give
an excellent relish to it,; later in the
season oysters chopped fine, or the Lit
tie Neck clam, render an Omelet a dish
to be longed for and to be eaten with
inlescribable gusto.

In a Solid State.-Solidifed whisky
is one of the many new things which
the enterprise of this progressive age
promises to bring into full realization
and actual use in the near future, and,
if Dame Rumor does not prove tickle,
the day is not far distant when the ever
thirsty man a carry a plug of whisky
in his pocket, just as a plug of tobacco
is carried now. 1t is said that a Mr..
Peterman, living in the village of
Verona, on the outskirts of Pittsburg,
this State, has discovered a process by
which he can take whisky in its pure
state and make it a solid mass. The
inventor has already applied for a
patent, and several New York capital
lists have expressed a desire to go into
the enterprise with him.

For several years past experiments
have been in progress with the electric
light in French lighthouses. The re-
suits are sufficiently satisfactory to
encourage a more extensive use of cleo
trio light for this purpose, and of the
$50 lighthouses which are scattered
along the French Atlantic and Medi-
terranean coasts forty-two will receive
electric lights Immediately. The exper-
iments show that when provi-ed with
the electric light the lighthouses on the
English Channel and on the Atlantic
coast will remain visible for at least ten
months of the year.

TOMATOES cut into slices and baked
make a delicious entree, but to serve
with braized fowls and In highly sea-

cut into slices, be dipped in flour, and
then be Drowned in butter, with salt
and pepper scattered on each slice. This
process imparts an indescribable flavor

could give, and a new joy awaits the

MILK should enter largely into the
diet Of children. 1t contains caseine, OF
llesll-f0rming material; cream and SUI
gar, which are heat producers; mineral
salts, for the bony structure; and water,
as a solvent for all the other materi ais
necessary in nutrition. 1t should be
used with discretion, however not
drunk immoderately, but taken slowly
as food after the pattern given by ma
ture. Milk as taken is a fluid; but as
soon as it meets the acid of the gastric
iuice it is changed to a soft, curdy,
cIeeSelike substance, and then must be
digeSted, and the stomach is overtaxed
il too much be taken at once. A large
glass of milk swallowed suddenly will
form in the stomach a load of dense,
cheesy curd, which may even prove
fatal to a weak stomach. Under the
action of tie stomach this cheesy mass
will turn over and owe like a heavy
weight, and as the gastric juice can
only attack its surface it digests very
slowly. But this same milk, taken
slowly, or with dry toast, light rolls, or
soft dry porridge, forms a porous lump
through which the gastric juice
easily pass, and which breaks up every
time the stomach turns it over. Milk
should be slightly sailed and eaten with
breadstutfs or slipped by the spoonful.
Cows milk produces less heat than hui
milk; n child would grow thin
upon it unless a little sugar were added.
Wheat flour has such an excess Of heat
producing material as would fatten a
unduly, and should have cows
milk added TO it to reduce its fattening
power.

Realism and Dirt.

A man denouncing realism in literature
because it must be filthy, makes himself re-
ally absurd. 1t is proper to reject lola, yes;
not, however, for the reason that he is real
istic in his drawings of character, but be-
cause he is nasty. Nature is strong and
grand, and clean and sweet. The dirt of
cities is the dirt of man. The soil and sweep
ings of civilization are as valueless as chips
Of marble that have fallen at the feet of the
sculptor who is chiseling beautiful statue.
They are real but they are not to be pre-
served. Walt Whitman, good gray crank,
once got so near to nature in his mind that
he thought human beings might do as cattle
do, be indifferent to publicity and dead to
shame in all acts. He had the soul OF a poet
and wanted to be beast. OF all things Gre
ated man is nearest to God. He must look
up. Let him writer or painter be as
real as he will; but let his realism picture the
real things that are worthy. He need not
turn away from the perfumes of apple bios
SONS in sweet lanes to inhale the zoul stencil
of narrow, crowded alleys in Whitechapel
quarters. There is no reason why the realist
should stoop lower than the beautiful roses
that grow along the hedges that he may stir
realistic waters of rotten and reeking gut
tiers. Clear skies and mountain tops are
more ennobling than Pickering tallow dips
and basement lodging wretchedness, and
quite as realistic. 0, you writer's be real if
you will; be clean if you can.-New Orleans
Picayune.
