How to Test Flour.

Although flour is in daily use in
nearly every family in the United
States, comparatively few cooks or
housekeepers know anything about
the quality of the different brands
of -four, or can tell whether they
are using -four of choice or of an
inferior grade. There are various
methods of testing -four, but this
is one of the simplest: Take some
-four in the left hand, add little
water, and with the right forefnger
mix rather stiff dough in the hand
Let it stand few minutes, then
knead and work in the hand. II
the -four is good the dough will be-
come sitter and dryer with work
ing and have an elastic, rubbery
feeling. If it is of inferior quality
the dough will become soft and
sticky under protracted working
Flour that is Of a chalky or blush
white shade, or that feels soft and
salyy. and when halled together in
the hand remains in a lump should
be avoided.-Chautauqua.

Life Above the Clouds.

A hotel recently built on the top
of Pixies Peak, at height of IA, ;
147 feet above the sea level, has
been frequently referred to lately as
being the highest inhabited point
in the world. Although this new
resort is unique in many ways it
has not the particular distinction
here mentioned. The village of Ga.
lera, in Peru, 1885 feet above the
sea, has long laid claim to being the
highest inhabited spot on earth.
But Arthur E. Pearce, an engineer
who has been prospecting and max
ing meteorological observations in
the Andes, has found two mining
camps that are even higher than
Galera. These places are Vichar-
rayac, which is 1880 feet above
sea level, and Muscapata, at an al
titude of 16,15S feet. Each place
has a population of about 200 mi
ners the year round. The Peruvian
Andes have a good many high
things of interest besides human
habitations. Galera exists mainly
because of the Galera tunnel of the
Parana Oroya Railroad of Peru,
which pierces the mountain at that
place, the summit of the road. But
this railroad will be surpassed by a
narrowgauge railroad which is now
being built to connect with it. This
road will attain an altitude Of Is,
$50 feet at its highest point. There
are five mining camps near Galera,
all belonging to one concern, which
are connected by telephone lines
which are probably the highest tel
ephone lines in the world. The
lines pass over two SUBMITS OF
more than II 900 feet each, and the
mean height of the lines is over
10000 feet.-N. Y. Sun.

The Saber Played Out.

"The saber," said Colonel John
S. Mosby, the Confederate soldier
recently, sis about as useless in act
i've warfare as the fifth wheel of a
coach. 1t is only a tradition. Gun
powder knocked it out, and it has
been retained in the service largely
on sentimental grounds. On dress
parade and occasions of ceremony
the saber does we'll enough, but no
sane man would think of using a
saber in modern battle. During
the Franco Prussian war only seven
men were killed by the saber on
both sides, and you could count up
the men killed in our own war by
that weapon on your fingers. We
discarded it altogether in my COM
mand.
I'm the ancient days when King
Arthur was on earth the saber was
of some use, but it is entirely out Of
use in the nineteenth century. The
government could save money and
at the same time improve the eff.
cheney of the service by abolishing
the saber from the army. Fiction
writer's will, of course, cling to it, for
its loss would deprive them of one
of the chief articles of their stock in
trade. The paper hero must cut his
way through the ranks Of the en-.
envy just go often or he is no good
Then, it looks-on paper-for 9
regiment or army to charge on the
enemy with sabers drawn etc, AL
that kind of stuff may go in books
but it is supremely ridiculous tf
