RECIPES.

Baked Bauanas--Simply peel Of one
section of the skin, place the bananas in
baking pan, skin side down, dust them
with graduated sugar ard bake them for
about thirty minutes, or until the banana
is thoroughly cooked.
Coffee Blanc Mange-One quart of
milk, one-third box of gelatinc, one cup
of strong coffee, four eggs, one and a
half cups of sugar. When the milk boils
add the eggs and sugar; stir well; then
let it come to a boil and add the coffee.
Put in little vanilla, as it is an i'm
provement. Then pour into large mold
or two small ones. This makes enough
for eight or ten people.
Sweet Picked Cabbage-Shave thin,
or chop fine, two small cabbages; add a
teaspoonful each of powdered cloves,
cinnamon and allspice, two teacupfuls of
vinegar, two teaspconfuls of salt, small
teacupful of dark sugar, pinch only of
red pepper. Scald thoroughly all to-
gether. The cabbage must be cooked,
not left tough. Stir constantly. Don't
eati for at least week. Spices may be
used Sat discretion" The above may
seem too much for some tastes.
Curry of Mutton-Cook one onion cut
fine in one heaping teaspoonful butter till
yellow. Add two pounds lean mutton
cut into small pieces, and when slightly
brown cover and let cook one-half hour.
Add two teaspoonfuls curry powder, one
teaspoonful salt, one saltspoonful pepper
and one tablespoonful flour wet with
one-third cupful cold water. Ada one
cupful stewed and strained tomato, and
simmer till tender. Just before serving
add one hesping teaspoonful grated
cocoanut, and serve with boiled rice. Be
careful that the onion does not burn,
which it will do easily. In putting meat
into this hot butter it sears slightly,
then cover, and let it cook half an hour.
Mutton, lamb and veal are better than
beef to curry. 1t will be necessary to
have half can OF tomatoes to make the
cup. This is very nice.

Az OLD MAIDS LUNCHEON.

A few days ago twelve young women
received daintily-w written invitations TO
attend San Old Maids Luncheon"
Whatever that might be evidently some
thing extremely pleasant, from the alac-
ritv with which those invitations were
accepted. At all events, on the appointed
day dozen pretty faces, belonging to
girls with dainty toilets, were gathered
around 4 table loaded with delicacie'.
In the centre of the table were banked
LARGE punches of field daisies, but alas.
their former companions could scarcely
have recognized them, SO changed had
they become. Each blossom had been
converted into the head Of little old
lady by clipping the white petals, with
the exception OF two, cap and string
we're formed, while pen and ink nae
placed eyes, nose, and mouth in each
yellow centre. At each plate were placed
a few sprays of pussy willow, strangely
suggestive of old-maidisrn.
Ia spite of this the faces were unusually
boamiug and the tongues as lively as oaly
girls can be on such occasions.
After the luncheon the sold maids
left the dining room, and as each one
passed through the doorway she receive
q nretty be.ribboued basket containing

RAISING COLTS.

The lest results in raising colts are

to keep her IN good, healthy condition.
If there is any inducement to raising
colts, it certainly is in the money that
can be made out of the business. Then
pursue the work in way that will guar
antee the best results in money gain.
Take no risks that can be avoided.

the expense of SO in the growth of a
colt; 90 not turn the msre out near foal-
ing time in field or lot where she can
get into creek or slough. There are
horse owners who talk horse fuently,
drive good teams, pay high prices for
stallion service, yet they are always re-
porting accidents which clearly point
out neglect and carelcssness in the little
details in the management or care Of the

The Wires on Brooklyn Bridge.

Thousands of people cross the Brook
Ign bridge every day, but comparatively
few Of them know much about the wires
that are trained across the big structure.
They are there in great numbers and OF
almost endless variety. Their resting
place is on the girders. Through them
countless messages, telephone and tele-
graphic, are transmitted at all hours of
the day and night.
Some OF them resemble ropes, but they
IRE not, for each contains 500 telephone
wires. OF these there are five. Besides
them are many other black, spakelike
strands, which arc other means Of COM
munication with Brooklyn and points
beyond. OF course nearly everybody is
aware that the land ends OF the Atlantic
cables Of the Commercial Company also
cross the bridge, but their location is
generally misunderstood. raey are Sc
curely fastened to the under side Of the
promenade flooring, in plain view of
passengers on the trains. --Mp Y0rk

LADIES' COLUMN.
A ROYAL wIG-MAKER.

II seems that the hair on the heads of
royal ladies turns gray quite like that oil
ordinary mortas. This discovery arises
from discussion over the guardianship
Of the Princess Of Wales, whom every
body here has grown to think Of as pos
sessing the trick of perpetual youth.
Mr.. Labouchere has, however, pointed
out that she wears a wig, and it appears
that this is constructed by au artist OF
fabulous craftsmanship, whose identity
is a profound State secret. The ex-
Queen Isabella is said, however, to have
obtained his address by frankly throwing
her@e.f on the mercy Of the gentle
hearted Princess, with the results that
her iron-gray crown of once raven hair
is now replaced by jauuty, short, chest
nut curls. Moved by envy cl these, the
present Queen Regent of Spain, the Aus
trian Christina, upon whose youth toll
and trouble have imposed premature
grayness, is said also to nave lmplored
the privilege of sharing the secret, and,
in consequence, will shortly dazzle Mad
rid with child.like locks.-Nelo Kor.5

Farm AND GARDEN NOTES.

Have the soil Of toe garden well loos-
ened and pulverized.
The land occupied by fences is as val
liable as that adjoining.
True economy in feeding does not
mean stinting the ration.
When more of our butter and cheese
is made by women it will be Of better
quality.
Young leaves for some reason are less
liable to injury from spraying than the
older ones.
Ducks do not have the cholera, Group
or gapes, and hawks do not bother them
they will lay more eggs and the eggs
will hatch better than hen eggs.
The best bred animals are the most
costly, but they bring the best prices
when stock is to be sold. Quality is a
factor that cannot be overlooked.
Such plants as okra, satisfy, endive,
kohl-rabi, and dandelion are seldom cul.
tivated in the garden, yet they are among
the bess of the list of vegetables.
The shorter the time between the COW
and the counter, the better the price of
butter, il it is good. Ripening and

1eIsphons Connection with ths Sun.

One of the most curious arrangements
contrived by this most curious man for
bis personal amusement and qualification
Is the arrangement which Mr.. Edison
calls his ''cosmical telephone" Edison
owns an iron mine at Ogden, n J. There
is bed of magnetic iron ore about
mile long and $50 feet wide which he
SAYS runs down into the earth for five or
six miles. He estimates the amount Of
iron in the mines at 1000, 900, 900, 900
tons. Around Ogden there is an enor-
nous intensifcation of the magnetic
forces of the earth. II IS a well-knowp
fact that the daily variations in these
magnetic forces, as shown by the needle,
are directly influenced by the disturb
ances in the suns spots. These varia-
tions are regularly recorded every day at
Kew, near London. Mr. Edison says
that at his iron mine near Ogden he has
more than million times the concentra-
ton Of magnetic lines that there is at
Kew. TO record the daily variation in
his own magnetic lines at Ogden, Mr..
Edison has constructed his cosmical tele-
phone.
"There are the most wonderful things
going on in the suns spots all the time,
he says. "Didn't you ever sec them2
Why, they are beautiful. The dis
turbances are tremendous. Bursts of
hydrogen fly out of these spots 500, 900
miles long. Awful things happen up
there. You can see them every day with
my telescope"
To construct telephone he has sur
rounded the whole bed of magnetic iron
with poles. On these poles he has strung
a cable of fifteen copper wires. The ends
of this cable run down into little house
and are connected with the ordinary re-
ceiyer OF common Bell telephone. The
idea is that the surrounding of this enor-
nous bell OF magnetic iron with the
copper wires will operate for the forma
ton of gigantic magnet such as is used
in the receiver of the every day telephone.
Through this tremendous receiver, Edi-
son says he will be put in direct tele-
phonic communication with the sun.
Only the communication will be one
sided. He can hear everything that goes
on up there, but he can't do any trans
hitting. He believes that every dis
turbance in the suns spot will cause
corresponding variation of his concen'
trated magnetic lines al Ogden, and that
this variation will be at once detected in
some way By the receiver OF his cosnical
telephone.
Eyes, sir" he says, 81 can hear them
with this telephone. The next time there
is any violent changes in the suns spots
which disturbs the magnetic lines on
earth | shall know it, and if 500, OOC
miles of hydrogen 90 chasing away from
the sun shall hear it."
The cosmical telephone IS not ye. com.
pleted as the wire stringing is not fin
ished; but scientific people other than
Mr.. Edison will watch with curiou:

THE CALF AT BIRTH.

1t Is the tendency to growth to which
We must look for advantages possessed
by our large breeds of cattle and not the
size of the calf at birth. A tree from a
seed OF nut much below the acorn in size
NAV lay the foundation for tree as large
as the oak. Nature violates no law when
she produces from the Shorthorn or
Hereford, weighing 1900 pounds, a calf
Of moderate size, less in size in fact than
is habitually produced by the scrub
weighing 600 Or 700 pounds.
Breeders, as a rule, dislike to sec their
large, fine bred cows drop large framed
calves, for the tendency Of all such is to-
ward coarseness. Men not conyersant
with the tendencies IN the direction re-
ierred TO often express surprise that the
calves of COWS of the large, beef-making
breeds are so moderate in size at birth.
But in this The Law under which tree
grows as great fro II a small seed as from
a large, can be taken as rule. The lit
tie difference in the weight at birth be-
tween the one sort and the other is COM
paratively triaing.
The size of the large COW and the capa-
oiousness of her abdomen and pelvis do
not necessarily go hand IN hand, but on
the contrary her size is dependent upon
thickness Of flesh. She is not, like the
scrub, mere shell, but on the other
hand may have a smaller womb space
than the scrub.
From a breed that grow uniformly
large there need lie no anxiety as to get
ting progeny having fair tendency to size.
We have more reason to be solicitOus as
to the tendency to grow fine. That is to
say, we seek progeny that will grow sym
metIical. A tree having a tendency to
great growth will fail in reaching its des
tiny in this direction if placed in thin
land where only stunted g!owths are
found; so likewise will the calf upon
which we base great expectations disap-
point unless We give food calculated to
make growth and weight, month by
month, of seventy-fve or eighty pounds.

WHAT FRUITS WITHDRAW.

Following may be seen the amount Of
mauurial elements withdrawn from the
soil by certain fruit crops each year;
these being, according TO all experience,
the only ones of which the replacement
need be ordinarily considered in fertiliza-
ton. These amounts are expressed with
reference to 1000 pounds of fruit, from
what, according to our best information,
may be assumed to be flair crop" per
acre. The figures represent pounds and
fractions of pound:
Grapes-potash, so, phosphOric acid,
1.52; nitrogen, 10.
Pears-potash, is; phOsphoric acid,
O.5; nitrogen, O.6.
Apples-potasb, O.SO phosphoric acid,
O.3; nitrogen, O.6
Peaches-potash, 1.7S, phOsphoric
acid, O.47; nitrogeo, IL.
Plums-potash, liz; phOsphoric acid,
GA; nitrogen, Az.
1t will be seen that for equal weights
of these fruits, grapes take from the soil
by far the largest amount of mineral mat
ter, of which nearly five-n inths is potash;
they also carry off the largest amount OF
phosphoric acid. For seedless grapes the
latter item would, however, be consider
ably smaller. Pears come next as regards
total mineral matter, but draw quite
lightly on nitrogen. Peaches come next
to pears. Plums Including prunes) are
conspicuous chiefly for their heavy
draught Oh the nitrogen Of the soil.
The difference between apples and
pears in respect to soil exhaustion for an
equal weight of fruit is quite striking,
the amount of potash in apples being less
than half, the phosphoric acid only
trife over half as much as in the pear

The Bright Side.

Cheerfulness can become habit, and
habits sometimes help us over hard
places. A cheerful heart seeth cheerful
things.
A lady and a gentleman were in a
lumber yard situated by dirty, foul
smelling river. The lady said,-
"How good the pine boards smell. "
"Pine boards" exclaimed the gen.
lleman, "just smell this foul riyer"
"No, thank you" the lady replied,
81 prefer to smell the pine boards"
And she was right. If she, or we,
can carry this principle through our
entire living, we shall have the cheerful
heart, the cheerful voice and cheerful
face. There is in some houses an I'M
conscious atmosphere of domestic and
social ozone which brightens everybody.
Wealth cannot give it, nor can poverty
take it away.
