Its Value as Food aud How to Cure-A

I am we'll satisfied that the real value
of alfalfa is not generally known, even
among very many who have raised it
for years, writes Ira Adams, in an ex-
change. Continuing. he says; Its nu-
tritive qualities are much greater than

ly on the time of cutting. My method
is as follows: In hot weather, if cut
early in the morning, / rake it into
light windows in the afternoon, as soon
as it gets thoroughly wilted. This will
generally be in few hours, unless the
crop is very heavy. The next day, as
soon as the dew is off put it into small
cocks, not over one hundred pounds
each, and shake it UP well while cock
ing, making the cock as light and as
high as possible. In this way the hot
air circulates through it, and it very
gradually settles as we'll as cures in the
best manner, being almost as green
when dry as before being cut. If cut
very early in the spring or late in the
fall, much more time is required in
curing, but never cock when it feels
heavy, even in hot weather, as some of
the bottom of the cocks will be sure to
be moldy. Haul it to your barn three
or four days after being cooked, especial
ly in hot weather. Salt freely, and you
will have alfalfa hay of first quality,
and your stock will think Christmas has
come.

STEEL-SHlRT BRAVES.
Gamblers and Detectives Who Have No
Fear of Bullets.


A little dark-complexioned man
walked into gambling house on Broad
way last night with parcel under his
arm. He found the proprietor and was
led by him into private room. When
the little man came out he had $3.50 in
his pocket and the gambler was the pos
SCISSOR of a mailed shirt.
Inquiry by reporter showed it to be
an astonishing fact that nearly all the
gamblers and private detectives in the
city are in the habit of wearing chain
armor, if not next to the skin, at least
very close to it.
The calling of these two particular
classes of society frequently places
them in the position of becoming tar
gets for friends and enemies. As no
gentleman is anxious to experience the
results of big pistol bullet blowing
through his vitals, or a keen knife
handled by an angry adept in carving,
the mailed shirt has been almost uni
versally adopted.
Why" said the gambler whom the
reporter saw buying the armor, Il get
shot at about once every six months,
and the sensation of looking into the
muzzle of pistol that seems as big as
barrel is not pleasant. / am generally
sitting at table when some crank who
has lost his money on sure thing
Jumps up and begins 20 pepper me. If
/ have my shirt i am invulnerable, ex-
cept in the head, and every body knows
that is 4 hard place to hit.
..Will the armor turn bullet"' asked
the reporter, incredulously.
The gambler led the way into a pri-
vate room. There lying on the table,
was the defense against steel and lead
The gambler picked it up, its steel rat
Ting musically against each other as he
allowed the folds to softly slip through
his hands. a careful examination
showed each link to be as fine as the
head of an ordinary pin. The whole
shirt was flexible, and could almost be
concealed in one hand. Each link was
welded to the next one, and all were
composer of the finest steel.
1t was sleeveless, high in the neck, and
was longer in front than on the sides,
which barely covered the points of the
hips.
You see,' said the gambler, going 70
n drawer and extracting garment,
This is a chamois-skin vest made &c go
next to the skin. Over this the armor
is worn, and then your ordinary gar
ments are placed above. 1t doesn't i'm
pede mans motions in the slightest,
and the links are SO fine that no rafting
can be heard, Notwithstanding the mo-
tions made by the body. 1t cost me
$3.50. and it is worth every cent paid
Further investigation showed that the
ermor was serviceable. The gam
bier, spreading the shirt on the
table. took a long dirk from
drawer. and raising the knife to the
height of his arm, brought it down with
all his force on the tiny links The
,oint of the knife snapped off, cleanly,
and a minute examination of the shirt
could not discover a single dent. The
rosewood table bore just scratch, evil

ALMOND FOUNTAINS.

Sure to Attract Attention.


Sure to Attract Attention.
This name provokes curiosity, and
possibly leads one to imagine it to be
that of some ACCOMPLISHMENTS spring
whose virtues might emulate the
Fountain of Life" but this nut-spray
can not claim any other attribute than a
dinner-table ornament. Its elements
are two-quills and almonds.
One dozen undressed quilts are taken,
and each is cut off with a sharp knife
just below the fea thered portion, leaving
the barrel of the quill clear and clean.
These are slit into narrow strips, leav-
ing enough of the rounded part uncut
to allow each slender division to be
firm: yet the cut must be low enough to
allow the strips TO bend gracefully
over. Each strip is then sharpened at
the top with scissors
Take pound of almonds, she'll them
carefully, so that the nut remains per-
feet in shape, cover them with boiling
water, and let them soak until the skin
can be easily slipped off. In this
blanched state the nuts are impa1ed
singly upon the sharpened quill-points
This will make the strips of quill bend
gracefully, like the branches of tree.
When the dozen quilts are thus fin
ished off with almonds. place the round
ed solid end of each quill into the open
end of another, and so build up sprays
OF considerable height.
The parts must be well fitted and
firmly pressed in, or the whole structure
will fall over. Then this curious-look-
ing device, which is often mistaken for
some unique exotic plant, is fastened
into an apple-first cutting slice from
the apple to make it stand evenly. Then
the apple is placed in the center of
dish, and covered with raisins, scatter
ing here and there some of the blanched
almonds
This fountain may be crystalized by
covering quilts and almonds with the
white of egg or thin mucilage, and sift-
ing isinglass over them.--Golden Days.
