The Force of EyapOratiOn.

An average of five feet of water is
estimated to fall annually over the whole
earth, and, assuming that condensation
takes place at an average height Of 5000
feet, scientists conclude that the force OF
evaporation to supply rainfall must cqua,
the lifting of 100000 pounds oI
water 5000 feet in every minute, OF
about 800, 900, 900, ,OO0-horse power con
stantly exerted. Of this prodigious
amount of energy thus created a very
small proportion is transferred to the
waters that run back through rivers tc
the sea, and a still smaller fraction j:
utilized by man; the remainder is dissi
pated in space.

CUTTING AND ARRANGING FOOD.

1t pays to be nice about it. Never use
any but the bread knife to slice bread,
and if possible cut no more than Is &C.
tually needed.
1t is good plan to follow the modern
fashion of "slice as wanted," though
this may SAVIOR of stinginess to our coun-
try mothers. A lot of bread dry is not
economical. 1t does not add to the at
tractiveness of the table, especially if a
lot of crumbs are allowed to remain,
hence we say cut just enough.
See to it also that your knife is sharp,
or your slices will be ragged and irregu-
lar. Evenly cut slices, not too thick or
too thin, are more tempting.
In cutting a pie that is to grace table
before serving, it is we'll to bring
geometrical fitness to bear. The eye and
a little trained carefulness will generally
do it. A chicken pie so cut that some
pieces are a third larger than others is
not illustrative of this carefulness. In the
cutting of pies, as all other things, it is
q good plan to do it we'll. A pie that is
carefully, neatly trimmed around the
edges in making looks nicer upon the
table or plate and slips upon the knife
better.
Perhaps all housekeepers are not as
careful to have cake knife as one for
bread, but I consider it quite essential.
Only Yesterday I ate piece of cake am
sure was cut with knife used in peeling
onions just before, and it did not add to
the favor of the cake. And again, cut
cake into regular blocks; calculate lit
tie before beginning; You will have nicer
looking dish for your table.
We have not quite become accustomed
to "cat as you go'' in cake, but am not
sure but the day is fast approaching.
Sauces for tea in glass dish with glass
preserve plates beside adds to the tea
table. It may be less conventional, but
surely has cheerful look, especially If
the berry spoon rests near.
The butter plate also receives less at
tention in many homes than it should.
Glass is, think preferable, and should
have a good cover. Two covered butter
dishes are within the means of almost
every family. They should never be used
for anything but butter, and alternate
often. A tidy butter dish will sometimes
redeem poorly set table, and really there
seems little reason why we should ever
have a poorly set table, yet such is the
positive fact, notwithstanding many costly
luxuries are upon it.-Go0d Housekeeping,

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Don't use doubtful seeds.

Don't use doubtful seeds.
Milk, sweet or sour, is excellent for
fowls.
Good onion seed sinks when placed in
water.
The parsnip is root much relished by
cattle.
Fresh sprouts of onions are fine for
poultry.
Exclude light from potatoes and keep
them as cool as possible.
The shelter that shuts out both pure
and cold air is not a profitable struc-
ture.
Rust and rot do more for the imple-
ment maker in winter than wear and tear
do in summer.
The secrets of large yields always and
everywhere are rich soil, good seed and
thorough tillage.
The peach tree is easy to plant, easy to
remove, if it proves worthless, and of
great value when success.
Many people are prevented from rais-
ing asparagus by an exaggerated notion
of the labor involved. Its requirements
are simple.
If a hen will leave her nest when any
one approaches she should not be used
for setting purposes. She will generally
prove an unsteady sitter and breaker of
eggs.
4 good crop of both corn and weeds
cannot be grown on the same ground at
the same time, any more than two rail-
way trains can pass each other on the
same track.
Profitable feeding must be steady
feeding-in spasmodic feeding the feasts
may do actual harm, and the short rations
surely entail loss. Do not cram one day
and starve the next.
In buying poultry for breeding pur-
poses, 90 to some reliable breeder, who
has his reputation at stake. 1t may cost
little more for the birds, but the buyer
can depend on what he gets. Culls are
expensive at any price.
Some farmers think that they can
afford to spend frequent half-holiday
in town as their crops are growing. Sad
mistake! A farmer can not neglect his
business any time without loss, no better
than the merchant or mechanic.
Experiments in feeding milch COWS,
described in bulletin of the Massachu-
sets State Agricultural Experiment
Station, attest the great economical value
of corn-fodder, stover, and ensilage for
the production and quality of milk and
cream.
Where one cow only is kept there is
little trouble in obtaining all the butter
the milk is capable of producing. But
where there are twenty COWS this is quite
impossible, as the milk of different COWS
requires varied management and treat
meat.
1t is difficult to sow grain or grassseed
evenly on hillsides if the sower walks
sidewise of the hill; throwing down the
hill, the grain falls on broad strip
thinly; throwing up the hill, on a narrow
strip thickly. Also, it is difficult to
walk straight.

fits nearly all crops; can be applied at

How Mechanics Are Made
Now

"The way in which men learn
trades in this age Of the world" said
a man who has made study Of the
subject, lis at variance with the
way they used to learn. In the
old times when a man went to trade
he began and mastered it a piece at
a time. And by and by he could
make whatever he was working up
entire. I know a man who works
in a watch factory. He has been
there eleven years, and all he knows
is how to make a balance wheel.
Aside from that he knows no more
about the mechanism OF a watch
than a man who never saw one.
Another man / know works in a
wagon factory. He works on hubs.
Nothing else. Another man works
on spokes, another on the tongue,
and so on, but not one Of them
knows how to put up a wagon as
a whole. The result is if one section
OF the labor in a large factory goes
on strike it throws the whole shop
out OF balance. What affects d part
affects the whole. Labor has made
great strides in the last twenty years.
This thing of teaching one mechanic
one thing and another something
else was wisely schemed by some
body. By it, if the plan continues,
the mechanic will soon be master of
the situation. &C Chicago Tribune.

Don't Crowd Your Neighbor.

That it does not always pay to

.ly exemplifed in the following story
in the Boston Gazette:
A rem arkable case of ssdiamond
cut diamond occurred in Boston,
recently, not far from the Providence
railroad station. A druggist had
fitted up neat corner store and
had established at once fine trade.
One day another druggist entered
his store and said: II want to buv.
you out. How much will you take?'
Il do not want to sell, was the re-
ply. 81 expected that answer" said
the encroaching person, "and I am
prepared for it. Now if you don't
sell out to me, I will open a drug
store in opposition on the opposite
corner. How much will you take?"
The druggist, offended at this species
of brow-beating, said he would sleep
on it and report the next morning.
At the appointed hour the aspirant
was IN the store aud a large price
was named. The bargain was bound.
The druggist who had been thus GUST
ed from a corner which he had fitted
up with a view to years of piece and
profit, sought the owners of the
opposite corner which had been
held out to him as a threat, Sc,
cured from them long lease, worked
night and day, and now has a drug
store in which any community might
take satisfaction and repose conf
dence, What is more, he is doing a
better business than he did in the
former locality.
