aud are about 300 miles long and
from one mile to thirty wide.
The eastern entrance Is twen-
ty miles wide and for many
miles the width remains the same,
but about $50 miles from the en-
trance the channel becomes SO mar
row that two vessels would find it a
difficult matter to pass each other.
This is one of the reasons why 1T Is
so little used by large sailing vessels,
few of which ever attempt the pas
sage. Violent gusts Of wind also
sweep through the channel and make
navigation not only difficult but
dangerous Storms OF hail, rain and
snow come in from the Pacific, and
when they are met by storms sweep
ing in from the Atlantic, there is a
clash of the elements which means
destruction to the vessel that is
caught in the straits. But despite
the dangers attending a passage
many steamers 40 through the chan
mel, and there is a regular line Of
steamers between England and Val
paraiso which uses it as part Of its
route. The straits are neutral waters,
being open to all countries.
There are several good harbors
along the straits, but the only settle
ment is Sandy Point, penal colony
founded by the Gillian Government,
which has a population of about
600

SPANISH Satisfy.

A vegetable that promises to be OF
considerable value, if once generally in
troduced,is the so-called Spanish satisfy,
native of Southern Europe. L. H.
Bailey, OF the Cornell Station, who has
grown this satisfy for two years, has this
this to say aboutit:
"Spanish satisfy MAKES a root much
like satisfy, except that it is much
lighter colored and considerably longer
Its flavor is less pronounced than that OF
the satisfy, but when carefully cooked it
possesses very agreeable quality, which
is somewha intermediate between that
of the satisfy and parsnip. 1t is adapted
to all the methods of cooking employed
for those vegetables
The particular value of the vegetables
aside from afording variety in the
kitchen garden, is its large size and pro-
ductiveness as compared with the satisfy.
About twice the crop can be raised upon
given area that can be secured from
satisfy, and no doubt it could be sold for
that vegetable in the general market.
The seeds are much easier to handle
and SOW than those of the satisfy. it is
sown and cultivated in exactly the same
manner as that vegetable, and can be dug
either in the fall or spring. Perhaps the
greatest disadvantage of the plant is the
very prckly leaves, which may make it
unpleasant to handle. But, upon the
whole, it is worth introduction into
American gardens. Seeds are offered by
some American seedsmen.
The plant was brought to the attention
of American gardeners nearly thirty years
ago. The American horticultural An
nual for 1871 said OF it: cit does not
seem to be quite as hardy as the satisfy,
some plants which were left out for ex-
pertinent being found partly decayed in
the spring. tits less troublesome to pre-
pare, and does not require so much care
in cooking as the satisfy, and has milder
favor. On the other hand the roots be-
ing longer and more brittle, are more diff
fcult to dig, and the centre is somewhat
fbrous. The last difficulty is overcome
by the French by first boiling the roots
and then splitting them and removing
the tough centre, which readily separates
from the outer portion, which is very
tender" Mr.. Baily, however, has not
found tough centres in the plants he has
grown.-New York World.

TO CONCEAL TIE EYES.

An exquisite species of embroidery
peculiar to Persia has its origin IN
utility, and utility such as one would
never dream of in this country. The
ladies of Persia must completely conceal
not only their faces, but even their eyes,
when walking abroad. But as it is also
indispensable that they should be able to
see, net work has been devised for
them to wear before the eyes, through
which they can see without being seen.
It may be said here that they do not OBJ
ject to this apparently severe law of the
land; for law it is as we'll as custom. By
means of this veil they are so absolutely
disguised that they can go where they
please without being followed or
molested. Not even woman's husband
would dare to lift the veil, or chuddah.
He would be cut down on the spot with
out mercy.
Now it is in the embroiderlng of the
lattice work designs of the chuddah that
Persian women display marvellous skill
with the needle. 1t is made of white
cambria, drawn and worked in geometric
designs in white thread or silk. Some
of these patterns display exquisite beauty
and delicacy; those which arc old are
almost like gossamer, and are Of a soft
creamy tint.-Harper's Bazaar.

Possibilities of Tree-Planting.

Seventy-fve years ago Thomas L.
Walker, then mere boy, planted four
walnuts by the roadside opposite his
fathers house in the Eleventh Civil
District, near Cedar Bluff, and some ten
miles west of Knoxville. He died not
ten years ago, yet he lived to see four
walnut trees grow to measure of four
feet in diameter, worth, if cut and
properly seasoned, at least $500 each.
Had he planted 800 wa!nuts on an ad.
joining acre of ground his heirs when he
died would have been S120, 900 bette r
off. Had he planted ten acres they
would be worth at least So, 000,0
Had he planted hundred acres, and all
the trees had reached an average size OF
three feet in diameter, and there is no
reason why they shouldn't, as the land
is fertile and impregnated with lime, his
heirs, and there are only three living,
would be worth altogether $500, 900, 900.
If, like old Johnny Appleseed, who
planted thousands of apple trees in the
Northwest, he had planted all the worn
out fields in Tennessee it walnuts, it
would be the richest State in the Union
by far.-Knoxville (Tenn.) Journal.

IN PRAISE OF THE BLAZER.

OF all the garments ever invented,
designed and cut, there is none SO use
full, delightful, or that so thoroughly
fills the purpose of its being as the
blazer. 1t can be made at very slight
expense, or its value can be enhanced to
the limit of ones purse strings. 1t can
be worn by the Quakeress with perfect
propriety or by the giddiest butterfly of
fashion. Indeed it is the chief feature
of the summer wardrobe. 1t may be
made in every known color from black
to white, and has style of its own that
sets off to perfection every bit of grace
or chic the figure possesses. 1t has
absolutely developed with "mother's
friend" for no daughter, however given
over to the imprudence of setting round
in the dew, taking evening walks and
exposing herself generally to all the ills
resulting from cold, is ever known to
refuse or evade slipping on her dear
blazer. Matronly figures look we'll also
in blazers of modified cut, little less
puff to the sleeves and not so much cut
away quite to the skirt, and the blazer
is adapted to more sedate tastes at once
and becomes as useful and beloved by
mother as daughter.-American Dairy
man.

WOMEN MAY GO TO YALE.

In accordance with the report of 8
special committee appointed last year for
this purpose, the philosophical faculty of
Yale University at New Haven, Conn.,,
with the sanction of the Corporation, has
adopted a plan for greatly extending
postgraduate and more strictly univer'
sity work in the institution. The two
leading features which will be put into
operation next autumn are: Twenty
scholarships at 500, or enough to pay
tuition, and five fellowships of $500
each, all derived from tie income of
university funds. These scholarships
and fellowships are open to graduates of
all colleges. The other feature is be-
ieved to be one of the most important
movements as yet made in this country
for the higher education of women.
After the next academical year the
graduate course with the degree of doc
tor of philosophy will be open without
distinction of sex. 1t is not the design
to establish an annex or other rival Of
the colleges already existing for women,
but to receive graduates of these colleges
and give them as good opportunities for
the most advanced research and edu-
cation as can be found in Europe.
Other measures for increasing greatly
the number OF scholarships and fellow
ships open to all graduates for strength
ening Yale's mold upon the smaller West
ern colleges, and for increasing its means
for the higher professional education of
teachers, are in progress.-Boston Tran
script.

SPARE THE BEAUTY SPOTS.

One of the most valuable features of a
certain farm is piece of woodland, two
or three acres, thinks Dr.. George G..
Croft. The owner is now cutting the
trees, in order to cultivate the soil.
Though he has tillabIe surface in abund-
ance this small area, too, must come
under the plow, and the real worth of
his property be largely impaired In in
tense strife after the ''practical, with
desire to turn every foot of our hold
inss to crop production, are we not in
danger Of making something desert
like of our county; of destroying the
elements of native beauty Spare the
thickets and brambles, and the clumps
of wood, all fresh from nature. What
is farm, especially to the children,
when nowhere near it is any nesting
place for birds; no spot on which wild
flowers may grove A perfectly clean
farm is not thing of JOY, but painful
sight. In the wearing strife after a
livelihood, it is refreshing to ramble
through real bit of wilderness. These
thickets, desirable as they are, should
not, however, be scattered about indis-
criminately; there are place naturally
suited for them-steep hillsides, which
ought not to be cultivated, gullies that
might become things of beauty if covered
with trees and bushes; pieces of rocky
ground which cannot be plowed. On
such spots leave the trees and bushes
alone, or if they are too thin set out
more. Plant forest trees on all rough
ground of toe farm and protect them
few years until they are beyond reach OF
cattle. Let US keep ''near to natures
heart;' she offers joy and beauty to all
who search her haunts. New York
Tribune.

Cooking as O Science.

"Cooking is as much science as
chemistry" said Miss Parloa to Foster
Coates recently. cit is of the first i'm
portance that every woman who is to have
the direction and care of a household,
whether large or small, should know how
best to use money for what is wnoleso ne
and palatable, and understand the prin-
ciples upon which food can be most
economically cooked. No woman should
be considered as less accomplished or re-
fined because she has given considerable
attention to household duties, and can,
if need be, prepare dinner better than
the average hired cook. Mistresses
ought to be in every respect the superiors
of their servants instead of being at their
mercy, as they too often unfortunately
are.
every woman ought to study domes-
tic science. She may be SO placed later
as to have no occasion to avail herself of
the information acquired, but she will
have lost nothing by her effort to gain
the knowledge; for this homely branch
is really all-important, since it affects
the body, the mind, the purse and the
morals of the family. Where you find
high order of cooking, you will find also
refinement in other respects. While
we, as a people, ought to live better
than any other nation, we live
too many of us-on repetitions of
poor dishes, and the waste IN
preparing them is something that pains
one who stops to consider it. A French
peasant, with nothing more at command
than many an American housewife would
look upon as absolutely valueless, can
set forth most appetizng though sim
Pile meal, solely because of superior
knowledge of the way to cook food, and
a natural ability to give the dishes just
the right flavor.
''There ought to be somewhere in the
United States normal school of cookery
where teachers could be trained for their
work, and In every town there should
be room where girls could be sent at
least once week from the public schools
to learn the first principles of cleanliness
and of cooking. Such a course would
surely decrease the percentage of GRIM
inals and paupers, for uuclean homes

could not forever be blind to its own ill.,
