sCHMIERKAsE.

Improperly schmierkase, or cot
tage-cheese as it is sometimes called, is
not fit to eat. When made in the fol.
lowing manner, our folks think it n treat :
Take thick "loppered" milk; set it on or
near the fire until il curds. Great care
should be taken that the milk does not
become hot, as that would harden it and
render it unfit TO eat-blood- heat is about
the right temperature for the milk.
When the milk has sufficiently curdled to
show like little islands in the whey, pour
into a coarse linen bag and hang up to
drain. This will take some hours. Do
no press the curd, but when the whey
has been all drained from the curd, re.
move from the bag and set in the cellar
till wanted for use. II will keep several
days. Serve with sweet cream poured
over it, and season with pepper and salt.
Some like sugar on it.-Prairie Farmer.

A STEAMER CUT DOWN.
The Polynesian Sinks the Gym
thia i'm the st. Lawrence.
Eight Men From the Grew of the
Cynthia Lose Their Lives.

Tho Donaldson line steamship Cynthia,
bound from Glasgow for Montreal was run
into by tho steamer Polynesian and sunk,
just after daylight, few miles below
Montreal, Canada, and eight persons were
drowned within one hundred yards OF shore
and help.
The steamer Polynesian had the mails and
cabin full of passengers aboard.
The two steamers arrived I'm sight of each
other near Pointe aux Trembles. ten miles bo-
low Montreal, nbout4slO. Through some mis-
pass ON the port side. IL is rule 10 keep TO the
right, but the Polynesian kept TO the left,
heading directly for the Cynthia. The coll
lision followed minute latter. Both vessels
had stopped their engines. The Cynthia was
struck a few feet abaft her stern on the star
board side and ripped open as IL she were
made of cardboard.
The Cynthia by the force OF the current
backed of the bow of the Polynesian and
the latter, finding herself clear, started up
her engines again, and without as much as a
hail or an inquiry.
The Cynthia's pilot, upon getting clear, at.
tempted TO run her into the shore only two
hundred yards distant, but before two-thirtls
OF the distance had been made the steamer
began 10 settle. Fifteen men who got into a
Hfebont were thrown into the water by the
fall OF mass of rigging. All of the crew but
Fefron and two seamen took to the rigging.

man, and about the only English speaking
person among over hundred who stood on
the shore watching the boats crew strug-
Cling for their lives put Off In n punt.
He reached the stern and told Fer.
ron and the two seamen TO get into
his boat but they told him to first rescue the
pilot, who was unable TO swim and was drift
ing away ON a plank. He did so. Then he
turned 10 get the other three men, Just In
time TO see the Cynthia's forward deck burst
up with n loud explosion and the
stern fly into the air and then sink.
Ferron never was seen again. His com.
panions were rescued. Most of the others
on board jumped, while several of them
were carried down with the steamer. Low
was killed while drinking his coffee In tho
forecastle forward the collision debris crush
ing him TO death
Both the Cynthia's pilot and Captain Tay-
lor lay the blame upon the Polynesinn.
The crew of the Cynthia say that II tho
Polynesian had stopped or lowered boat
the loss OF life on the Cynthia would only
have been that OF Low. The crew In
their wet clothes and exhausted con-
dition were compelled To walk the ten miles
TO Montreal, the French Canadian conductor
OF the horse car refusing to carry them for
nothing, or to take the Captains watch as Sc
curity for the Sl.5D worth OF fares because it
was wet.

Destruction Of the Birds.

There is a subject to which / would
call attention, says a correspondent Of
the New York Times, namely, the mania
for making collections of birds eggs. Il
has become great evil in this section
and unless checked soon will, think,
prove worse than the English sparrows or
anything else. Different writers have en-
couraged children to make collections Of
eggs and have dwelt on their beauty, and
the result is that swarms Of boys are
securing all the country in the vicinity Of
towns for eggs. Every egg is taken and
hardly nest escapes destruction A year
ago / determined to put a stop to il if
possible. I found that the law forbids
the robbing Of all nests other than those
Of crows, blackbirds, hawks, and owls,
making il a misdemeanor and also provid-
ing penalty of S. for each ofense. This,
added 10 the fine Of imprisonment or
both for the misdemeanor, makes rather
serious business Of egg collecting And
found several persons who agreed TO
help me, had the law published in the
local papers and also read in Sunday
school, along with a warning that all
found guilty would be punished. It
worked well. Only few were found TO
continue collecting. and a second personal
notice 70 them was all that was necessary.

To do ornamental frosting, such as
confectioners put on cakes, one needs a
frosting bag aud tubes or frosting points
The bag is of very thin rubber sheeting
and shaped like cone or funnel. At

The tube or point is put inside the bag
and pressed firmly into and through this
little aperture. Then the bag Ia partly
filled with frosting, which is squeezed
through the point on to the cake Some
points are simply round tubes, others
have got teeth that cause the frosting to
assume the form of leaves, crinkled lines
and other devices. A supply of points
of various shapes can be procured at any
housefurnishing store, and one can make
