About Pillows for Beds.

The use of pillow is not matter Of
mere blind usage. l. has physiological
basis. We sleep for the most part on
the side, and without pillow the head
would be uncomfortably and harmfalls
lower than the body. It will be re-
membered that Jacob, when fleeing from
Esau, took stone for pillow. He
needed something for the purpose, aud
nothing better than stone presented it.
self. Such practices are common in
Africa al the present day. Some peoples
rest the neck instead of the head on hard
pillows.
In Africa extraordinary headgears
make this practice necessary, and many
| civilized woman has been compelled by
| a somewhat similar couture to forego
both the pillow and the recumbent pos
ture. A consideration of the physiologal
reason for pillows will suggest their
proper thickness. They should merely
bring the head to the natural level. Some
| pillows are much too thick. BY bend.
ing the neck unduly they interfere with
| the outflow of the veuous blood from the
head. The pillow that just fills up the
space above the shoulder best suits its
| end.
Again, pillows of feathers are objec-
tionable. While they furnish the needed
support for the head, they are too heat
ing. as they have remarkable capacity
for holding and accommodating heat.
1t should be remembered that more
blood, and hence more heat, goes to the
head than to any other part of the body.
| Head-heating pillows are against the
wholesome maxim, "Keep the feet warm,
but the head COOL" There is nothing
better than the hair pillow. Further,
the pillow il .or the head, not for the
shoulders. 10 rest the shoulders on the
pillow defeats the very end for which it
| is used. New York Advertiser.

PLANTS FOR WINTER.

The fall is the time for preparing
those plants that are chosen to brighten
the home with LEAKAGE aud bloom during
the winter. The first point to be con-
sidcred IS the choice of the plants.
Young breathing plants arc always to be
preferred rather than those that are ex.
haustcd with bIossomipg during the
summer. 1t seems almost heartless to
leave tall, thrifty plants to the mercy of
the frosts, but not only their prolonged
blossoming has weakened them, but
their rapid growth under summer suns
has rendered them less hardy. Feeble
plants should never be taken into the
window garden unless 1t be to save some
favorite species.
Examine the earth carefully and see
that it is free from insects aud erubs. 1t
is good plan to put panfuls of loamy
garden earth aud leaf mold mixed into
the oven, and bake 1t half an hour.
This will kill all insects, and when
the earth is cool is is ready to use. Cut
off all water-soaked roots, and then press
the earth firmly around the plants, using
always the common red earthen pots
with separate saucers for each pot.
Keep rcpotted plants in shady place
for week or so, until the roots are well
settled in their new homes. Do not let
these plants bloom for month or two,
but pinch off all buds, that the strength
of the plant may be concentrated in the
roots, in order to produce q new, vigor.
&ous growth of branches.
In choosing the windows for plants
during the winter those with gay-colored
s,blossoms need all the sunlight they can
have, and for them a south window is
the best. A southeast window is the
next most desirable, then western
window, while a north light is worst Of
all.
There are few plants, like pansies,
primuas nnI coruelias, that like the shade
aud thrive in northern light, aud north.

COMFORTS FOR SERVANTS.

Certainly the hardest working woman
in the house should have at night rs
comfortable bed as anyone, but very
often this is not the case even in lux
urious houses, springless cot being
thought good enough for the girls
room. Though in city home, the
room of the maid of-all-work is small
hall bedroom on the top floor. This
may still be neat, even fine IN its ap,
pointments, with dainty spreads, con-
venient toilet articles aud a whole look
ing-glass. There should be bureau Of
some description, with draw reserved
for her towels and bed linen, so that she
need not call on the mistress for these
things common enough in the rest OF
the chambers, but luxuries here. A
very good way to appreciate a girls
WEAKNESS by those who seem never to
dream that she can get tired, is to try
some day to take her place. After get
ting thoroughly tired out with half the
work undone, the mistress begins to
understand what day after day of do
mestic toll means. When on Tuesday
an ambitious girl is hurrying to com.
plete large ironing in one day, it is
hardly fair to call on her repeatedly to
do something else, as often happens
when there is only one servant.

OklnhOma's Water Trhr.

The people of Saltwater, o ilahona,
are greatly mystitie over remarkable
phenomenon which exists near that town.
In the field OF Robert Copper, south of
that place, stands large cottonwood
tree, with its branches leaning out over
the bed OF little creek. few week
ago a party of picnickers stopped under
the tree and were startled by finding
that there was a continual shower OF
water falling from its leaves and branches.
1t is ia the shape of fine mist or drizzle,
but can be plainly felt and seen at all
times. Although it had not rained in
that part of the territory for weeks, the
fall of water from that tree has kept up
continually, aud crowds Of people come
from distance every day to view the
wonderful curiosity. Those scientifically
inclined speculate, theorIze and give it
up, the superstituous ones shake their
heads ominously, but the tree keeps
right on sending down Its sho wer, and
whenever the sun is shining a beautiful
rainbow can be seen under it's branches.

COWS IN WINTER.

Feed to q considerable extent deter.
mines the quality and quantity of the
milk and butter. 1t does not pay to
keep a COW on half rations aud hardly
get good milking at any time during
the winter. In most cases both the milk
and butter are Of more value during the
winter than at any other time, and
generally enough more to make it worth
while to give the COWS good treatment
during the winter. They must be fed
enough to live, at least, and they ought
to have enough to keep them thrifty, as
there is no advantage in letting them
run down during the winter and then be
ooh hged to take the best part OF the
spring to make up what has been lost.
A little additional feeu will not Gully
keep them thrifty. but in many cases in
sure good flow of milk, and this i'm
plies profit rather than loss, as is so
often the case when the cows arc fed on

AN ELECTRIC INCUBATOR.

A novelty in the Matching of eggs has
appeared in the shape OF an electric in-
cubator. The special feature of this
machine is that the heat of the egg
drawer is automatically regulated to the
tiftieth part Of degree Fahrenheit. 1t
consists of a tank incubator, heated by
radiation from the bottom of water
tank, which is constructed on tue multi
tubular system. When the egg drawer
reaches the temperature Of 104 degrees
Fahrenheit an electric thermostat cou-
meets dry battery with au electro mag.

the heat to escape through the open air
instead of passing through the fues of
the water tank. This entirely automat.
ic device is said to effect a saving Of
thirty per cent. in the fuel used for heat

ciently strong enough to float an egg,
and stand aside for twenty :our hours;
then drain and wash them, put the pep

The MUSES..

Tho MUSES. were demi-gods, or, rather,
demi-goddesses, the patrons of litera-
ture, music, poetry, dancing aud the
fine arts generally. They dwelt upon
the three sacred mountains, Helikon,
Parnassus and Pindus, in Greece, aud
there were nine of them.
Clio was the muse of history. She is
generally represented carrying roll Of
manuscript. Melpomene was the muse
of tragedy aud is made to wear mask
and sometimes carry sword or club.
Thalia was the muse Of comedy and bur
lesque. She wore a mask and carried a
shepherds crook. Then came Calliope,
the muse of heroic poems, sometimes
called the chief of the MUSES.. She
carried writing tablet and stylus.
Urania presided over the study of as
tronomy. In the representations she
sits beside globe, holds compass
with one hand, while with the other
she points upward to the stars. Euterpe
presided over music. She was figured
as playing the flute. The muse of song
and oratory was Poly hymuia, or Polym-
MIA, generally pictured in an attitude Of
contemplation and wearing laurel
wreath. Love and marriage songs had
Erato for their inspiration. Erato wore
wreath and played on large Tyre with
many strings. Terpsichore was the last
of the muses.. She presided over dane
ing, and is represented as wreath crowned

plants in from time to time, thus pro-
longing the short life Of the sprays of
flowers.
The best success in indoor plant growth
comes from uniform tenn perature of
fifty to sixty degrees at night and from
sixty to seveDty-ive degrees during the
day. A higher temperature is only needed
by semi-tropical flowers.
Plants not only need cooler tempera-
ture in the night, but also darkness, and
it is neglect of this fact that is one Of
the causes of the lanky growth of house
plants. Shield plants with newspapers
in the evening if the gas in the room is
lighted. The paper will keep both heat
and light from the plants.
Another cause of spindling growth is
lack of air. Plants shut up in the house
get sensitive, and are liable to suffer il
there is sudden fall in temperature,
but if they are given plenty of fresh air
daily, unless the day is very luclement,
the plants will thrive and be sturdy.
Do not open a window directly on
plants in winter weather, but rather let
the fresh air filter in more gradually
through distant door or window.
Plants in windows should be turned
once or twice week. A fiue form,
which is half the beauty Of plant, eau
not be attained without this. Plants
should also be shielded from the dust
which arises in sweeping and dustiug
rooms.
A newspaper is suitable to prevent the
settling of dust over them, but this care
is not enough. Each plant must be
washed thoroughly and frequently to
keep its pores unclogged, for plants
breathe through them. They cannot
grow if their means of inhaliny carbon
and exhaling oxygen is taken from them.
Showering plants over a tub or sink is a
good way to remove dust, but hold the
plant sidewise, so both sides of the
leaves will be reached by the water.
Large plants which cannot be easily
moved should have their leaves washed
gently with sponge on both sides.

APPLE BUTTER FOR MAnKsr.

Why do not farmers who have large
amounts of apples that do not pay for
drawing long distances to market try the
plan of turning some Of the surplus into
apple buttsra 1t requires considerable
labor, as it is branch of manufacture;
but the farmer who has invested labor
in this way is surer TO get pay for it
than he is for most of his work on the
farm. As far as possible the farmer
should put the product Of his farm in
the forin where it will bring him most
money, and if he thereby turns his farm
at some seasons into a factory he may be
none the less prosrerous.-Ne York

CHEMISTRY OF THE BAKED POTATO.

Usually the first vegetable prescribed
by the physician for the sick person VINO
is beginning to use solids is bakel
potato. A baked potato, however, may
be no better than boiled unless it be
done in so high temperature that the
starch is affected. Boiled potatoes
cannot be subjected to higher temper
ature than 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
Baked potatoes may be done in such
way that they are little better than
bolled-for instance, done in slo
oven. On the other hand, if they are

manner that the conversion of starch
will in degree take place aud the po-
tato be consequently palatable aud easily
disested. Potatoes roasted in hot en-.
bers are delicious and for the same rea.
son. The high degree of heat cooks
the starch properly, but it must not be
understood that by cooking potatoes in
a high temperature the starch which
they contain is all changed into dex-
trine. This does not usually take place
except in slight degree; however, by
the high temperature it is better pre-.
pared for this change in the processes
of digestion. Probably what does take
place is sort Of hydration of the starch,
resulting in the complete swelling and
final bursting Of the granules. Just at
the m oment when this takes place the
potatoes are done and should be imlne-
diately taken from the fire aud served at
