KITCHEN COUNSEL.

IF you are baking bread turn the loaves top
side down in the hot tins and let them sand a.
few moments. This will make the crust tender
so it will cut easily.
HERE is a recipe for breakfast biscuit: Take
quart of sweet milk, one-haf a cupful Of
melted butter, little salt. two tableSpoonfuls
of baking powder, flour enough to make stiff
batter; do not knead into dough, but drop into
buttered tins from spoon; bake in hot oven;
unless the oven is hot the biscuit will not be
light.
A CORRESPONDENT furnishes this recipe for
scalloped potatoes: Cut raw peeled potatoes
into very thin slices; place layer of potato on
the bottom of the baking dish: cover with milk,
bits of butter, salt and pepper; then another
LAYER of potatoes, etc., until the dish is full.
Bake until the potatoes are easily pierced with
fork.
The very best ginger snaps are said to be
those baked thus: One cup of butter and lard
mixed, cup of sugar. cup of mOlasses, one
half cup Of water, tablespoonful of ginger,
teaspOOnful Of cloves, j teaspoonful of soda
dissolved in hot water. Flour for pretty stiff
dough. Roll out thin and bake quickly. They
keep well.
STEwED tomatoes. with onions and bread,
are liked by some people. Empty l can of to-
matOes INTO saucepan, place over fire. and
when hot add small onion shced, with salt
and pepper and little sugar; stew 20 minutes,
add tablespoonful of butter and one-half a
cupful Of bread crumbs: simmer 10 minutes
and serve.
PORK, with pigs liver, is French dish made
a. follows: Cut in dice quarter of a pound Of
fat pork or bacon with a pound of fresh pigs
liver. Frv the pork lightly, then add the liver;
season with salt and pepper and fry for five
minutes. Add pint of boiling water and
pound Of turnips cut in small dice. Simmer
for an hour.
THIS is the French way of cooking pork and
cabbage: Cut the pork in slices and freshen a
little if extremely salt. Cut in slices also firm
head of winter cabbage or two small ones. Put
a thick layer of the cabbage in a large stewpani
shred an onion very fine and scatter over it,
also few whole pepper corns, two or three
cloves, and, If liked, pinch of thyme and sum-
mer savory. Lay on ;he pork, then the remain
der of the cabbage, seasoning as above, Cover
with plenty of water ana boil for two hours.

scratch every night until was raw; then the
next night the scales, being formed meanwhile,
were scratched of again. In vain did con.

aid. After giving up all hopes of recovery,
happened to see an advertisement in the news
paper about your CUrIcURA REMEDIES. and
purchased them from my druggist. and obtained
almost immediate relief. began to notice that
the scaly eruptions gradually dropped of and
disappeared one by one. and have been fully
cured. had the disease thirteen months be-

After playing for halt an hour the referee
calls time, and :he sides reverse their posi-.
tions. The game ends with another hall
hours play. The count, of course, is by
goals and points. If no goals have been
made by either side, the one that made the
most points is the victor. The same rule
applies when each side has made the same
number of goals, but one goal will out
weigh any number of points, so that, if one
side got ten or dozen points but no goal,
and the other got one goal hut no points, the
latter would be the winner"
"Does not the game necessitate q good
deal of rough play?"
Mr.. Cullen smiled.
MAYBE" he said, "maybe it does. Let
ME read you the Irish rule on that point:
No player to catch. trip, push from behind
or butt with the head. No player to bring
his hurley Intentionally in contact with
another player Now the referee has the
greatest discretion possible in interpreting
this rule. He may disqualify PLAYER Tor
a breach of it, and in that case his side is
not permitted to substitute another PLAYER.
The referee may inhict various penalties for
undue vigor in play, such as suspending
hurler for short time, allowing the op-
posite side free puck, and so on. Never
theless it is not uncommon to get out of a
game with aching shins and any number of
bruises. The better the player, of course,
the less likely he is to injure his opponents,
but in the excitement OF play it is not to be
wondered at that some blows are accident
ally given"
'Are there any professional hurlers in
ireland, that is, men who make business
of playing the game?"
"Not one. No one plays for q salary or
any other remuneration than emblems of
skill and success. Nevertheless. I think
that the possibilities OF the game are so
highly developed as if there were a league
Of professional players. Everybody in Ire
land plays the game. from school children
to old men. The LOO clubs in the Gaelic
association represent not only upward of g.
500 active hurlers, but many thousands
more who are not deemed expert enough to
have position on county team. There is
mucn interest in our Weehawken games.
and look forward to seeing the sport Sc
cure a strong foothold in this country"

THE EARTH'S MOTION.
Some Interesting Information About the
Ball on Which We Live.

Some Interesting Information About the
Ball on Which We Live.
The Youths ompanion.1
The earth revolves on her axis in %
hours, Sc minutes, and seconds. This
time is required for one rotation from a star
round to the same star again. The revolu-
tion is therefore called sidereal day.
While the earth has been turning on her
axis, she has been advancing in her orbit,
and it will take her four minutes on the
average to come to the same position in re-
gard to the sun; thus, adding four minutes
to the length of the sidereal day, gives "a
hours for the solar day.
The time of the axial rotation has not
vare the hundredth part of second in
1000 years. 1t may, therefore, be considered
as invarable, and is consequently adopted
as a fundamental unit in astronomical
measurement.
The earth revolves in her obit around the
sun in 36526 days, giving another standard
measure Of time, the length OF the year.
The velocity OF the earth in her orbit is al
most incomprehensible, for the huge sphere
spins along at the average rate of 18 miles
in second. The earth's orbital revolution
and the inclination OF her axis to the plane
of the ecliptic cause the changes of the
season and the varying length of day and
night.
The earth has more complicated motion
known as the procession OF the equinoxes.
1t consists OF wabbling motion of the
pole of the heavens around the pole OF the
ecliptic in small circle requiring 25,0OO
years to complete. 1t is caused by the at
traction of the sun and moon upon the earth
at the equator. Consequently, ecliptic and
equator do not cross at the same point but
the equinoctial falls back each year 80 sec
onds Of a degree.
One effect of this movement is to change
the polar star, for to whatever point of the
heaven the pole points, the nearest star to
that point is the polar star. The present
polar star willn longer enjoy that distinc-
ton, 5000 years hence, and the brilliant
Vega will be the polar star, 1900 years
hence.
The earth is moving through space. The
sun, carrying with him the planets, satrl-
lites, comets and meteoric bodies following in
his train, is fastening toward point in the
constellation Hercules, at the rapid pace of
10000 miles an bour.
1t might seem that, travelling at this rate,
the goal must soon he reached. Such, how
ever, is the inconceivable distance Of the
stars, that more than million years must
pass before our sun and his family, at their
present rate of travel, have spapned the
depth of space that intervene between their
present position and the shining suns of
Hercules.

4 BIRD BATTLES A BURGLAR.
A Household Alarmed by the Fight Between
Thief and Parrot.

A Household Alarmed by the Fight Between
Thief and Parrot.
Cincinnati Enquirer.l
Mr.. Emil Rothe, who lives at 267 Browne
street has poll-parrot. The bird has been
with the family for a number of years, and
is highly educated and great pet. Its cage
is usually hung at night in rear room on
the second floor. A window of the apart
ment overlooks grape arbor, close against
the wall ol the dwelling. Night before last
no one occupied the apartment.
About o'clock yesterday morning Mr..
Rothe was awakened by the bird, which was
loudly shrieking. Papa! papaP The par
rot kept up these cries for several minutes.
until Mr.. Rothe, finally alarmed by the un
usual disturbance, determined to go to see
what was the cause. When he turned on
the light he saw poll sitting on the cross
bar of the cage. The bird Immediately re-
cognized him and set up chattering and
chuckling OF victorious cha ha's"
Poll looked like his famed predecessor
who had the exciting adventure with the
monkey. One wing was broken and the
Doll ON OF tne cage was covered with
feathers. The bird was rufied up gen.
orally, and, in fact, had the appearance
of having passed through threshing ma
chine.
There were blood marks on the wires of
the cage, and everything indicated that poll
had engaged in lively and desperate fight.
Looking around MI. Rothe found that the
window was broken. On the sill were the
bloody prints of a mans fingers A burglar
had made an early morning visit to the res
idence. Climbing up the arbor, he easiIy
raised the window and entered the room.
His movements must have awakened poll.
The bird evidently gave the alarm, and the
intruder, realizing that something had to
be done quickly, at once attacked the In
telligent parrot Thrusting his hand into
the cage the burglar tried to wiring the
birds neck. Instead of quietly submitting.
poll showed fight. With beak and claws
poll attacked the robber, sinking the sbarp
weapons into the flesh of the intruder's
hand. So vigorously did poll use natures
weapons, and at the same time utter
screams, that the burglar was forced to re- |
tire bafled and bleeding from painful
wounds. He must have dropped from the |
window just as help reached the door. As |
Mr.. Rothe heard the noise Of Q fall as he |
entered.

however, to enjoy considerable boom, and
by another season there may be hurling
league, with championship contests and big
audiences at the grounds to see the fun.
The Importance of this game on the other
side of the Atlantic may be inferred from the
fact that in the Gaelic Athletic Association
of Ireland there are 1900 hurting clubs.
Each club must have q membership of at
least q active players for that is the regula-
tion number of men to side in champion
ship matches. This tremendous league
manages to find the championship club
play is in full blast. As it would take sew
eral years of constant playing to play every
team in the II, 900 against every other, the
association has adopted system OF subordi-
nate matches in order to eliminate from the
"All Ireland" championship contests such
clubs, and that means the great majority,
as would have no hope Of winning. From
the LIST OF February to April 20 every county
in Ireland is alive with matches played by
its local clubs. Only such clubs as win the
championships of counties are entitled to
enter TOR the Gall Ireland" tournament

the privilege of puck that is. he may

he pleases, but he cannot throw it. When
the ball is on the ground it must not be
picked up by the hand. In case these rules,
or any others, are violated. the referee may
punish the offending side by allowing the
other free puck if he thinks fit, in which
case no player of the offending side may ap-

the game is to send the hurley ball across the
goal line between the middle posts and be-
low the crossbar The difference between
this play and football will be noticed, ior in
football it is the object to send the ball over
the crossbar OF the goal posts.
THE GAME DESCRIBED.
The chief implement Of the game is of
wood, shaped somewhat like a hockey,
though much broader and heavier. 1t is
called hurley. The Irish rules do not de-
fine the pattern to be used. The hurley
ball is made OF cork and woolen thread and
is covered with leather. 1t should be four
and half or five inches in diameter and
weigh from seven to ten ounces. How the
game is played may best be put in the
words of Mr.. Cullen, who told the writer all
about it recently.
''To begin with" he said, leach side has
an umpire, and there is a referee whose
judgment is final on all disputed points.
When the opposing captains have tossed
for choice OF positions the hurlers stand in
two lines in the middle Of the field, touch
hurleys across and then separate. That is
formal recognition that the players are
friendly and are ready to begin. The ref
cree, who stands little distance from the
end of the two lines, then throws the ball
between them, either rolling it along the
ground or tossing It higher than the players
heads. After that each side strives to get
