The idea Of planting for honey has
s-eu gaining ground in this country.
HuG quite "A number OF bee-keepers
now SOW OE~iks clover. buclxwheat,
sweet clover, anu Chapman honey
plant for their bees TO Tvsd on. Even
the government has taken up the
question. and sent out Creas many
pounds OF seeds OF honey plants, and
the Inference Is that the bee-keepe RS
will plant for honey In the future more
than they have in the past But plant
Ing for honey alone will not pay. in
my estimation. but when clover or
plants sown can be used for hay or
some other purpose. there is indirectly
a double profit obtained. Tho average
colony % bees forage o-or thousands
Of ucres Of land 10 search OF their
sweets. and she bee keeper could not
calculate on more than ten pounds OF
honey per acre from honsy-producing
plants. This would not pay any one
for the trouble. unless only such plants
"cre grown that could be utilized for
other purposes.

When we wish TO extract Juices from
anything We put it in cold water, and
let IL gradually reach the boiling point {,
so when we wish the viands TO retain
their juices, and use the water only as
a medium for cooking them, the oppo-
site course must be pursued
Here are two things to remember
when cooking either veal or pork:
they should be cooked so thoroughly
that the lean part viii be white and
frm. and they should never be boiled
unless first we'll salted- With pork
there should be served some kind OF
farinaceous vegetable, like rice, pota-
toes or hominy.

moisture; the evaporation of the oil is
likewise prevented TO q great extent
Soft water should be used in cooking
vegetables. and the only way city folks
can soften water is to add a little salt
to it Six or eight potatoes will need
a teaspoonful OF salt to the water; tur-
nips and parsnips require about the
same, that Is, a teaspoonful of salt to a
quart of water. II any skum should
happen to rise to the surface when the
vegetables are boiling, IL must be care

4 A new process for the nanusacture OF
sAlt from brine which Is described as
simpio, automatic aud Continuous, has
been invented. While requiring only
nbout two-ffths Of the fuel at present
necessary for the manufacture OF sale,
Ihe procsss can be works ed with mini
mum OF unskilled labor. The system
Of salt manufacture at present in vogue
Ia that Of the evaporation Of brine in
open pans, keAted by nrss underneath.
The defects Of This systera are that il is
very slow, and that tha output is com.
paratively small IN proportion 70 the
area occupied and the quantity OF fuol
used. The life OF . s.lk pan averages,
too, only three yesrA the formation Of

carried on at the reduced temperature
due to that vacuum. The salt> rs 1t ia

tho brine, which ia carried forward

Customs OF the EsquimauI.

Like the Indians. the Esqui-
maux often kill the old. Often
the old are tired OF life and
beg to be dispatched. If food is scarce
they are turned out to starve, whether
they like 1t or do not The super
fiuous women are also disposed OF in
this way. Barbarism shows itself in
their treatment of the dead. The body
of a favorite wife or child is sometimes
protected through the winter and de-
Gently buriel in the spring, but as a
general rule corpses are dragged a
short distance from the village and
abandoned to the dogs.
The savagcs have no idea of the
marriage relation. Women are treat
ed ss chattels. The number Of wives
a man may have is regulated not by
his possessions. as among our Nor
mons, but by his ability to manage
women. One infers from this that
polygamy Is not carried on to any
great extent
