They will not demand that they be

Kitchen Work n Proud Occupation.

Kitchening seems to be the only spe-
cies of work that no one need blush for,

the means? In the midst of that period

"a la puree de pintades?" Did you know
that it was to the elector of Bavaria that
we owe the "bavaroise," which was pre-
pared and made under his own eyes for
the first time at the Cafe Procope?
Modern history also offers noble ex-
amples to our admiration. The Empress
Elizabeth, Of Austria, that accomplished
horsewoman, that sovereign of court
where aristocratic prejudices are of the
strongest kind, glories in her talent as
pastry cook. Her daughter, the Arch
duchess Valeria, boasts of having pene-
trated all the secrets of the ancient and
modern cuisine. Queen Victoria is very
fond of making omelets, and it seems
she has several recipes. Her daughter.

DAVIS Resenrch &c.

Sir Humphry Davy was so much In
terested In electricity that he made
many experiments which have become
historical in their utility. His brilliant
discoveries so excited him that he could
repose. He would have killed himself
by his constant experiments and steady
application to the science had he not
become prostrated and his life endan-
gered thereby. His remarkable expert
ments, brilliant and triumphant, are yet
to be outdone by more modern philoso-
piers. Sir Humphry Davy's great bat
terry, composed OF 1000 cells. became
world wide and historically honored. II
was the origin of the first flashes of what
is now termed the electric arc. That
was eighty years ago, and note the grand
discoveries since then:
The idea of two pieces of charcoal, one
about an inch long and one less than n
sixteenth part of an inch In diameter,
being brought near to each other, till
they produce bright spark, for 20 they
did. One part Of the coal was imme-
diately ignited TO whiteness, and by
removing them apart Davy found con-
slant discharge of electricity took place
sufficiently strong to heat the air in a
given space three times their size. He
caught the idea In moment and studied
out the mystery which the two pieces of
coal had produced, u grand scheme
and discovery. He saw the most bril-
liant ascending light, like glowing
arch. broad and perfectly conical in the
middle.
The philosopher experimental to his
hearts content, each day bringing forth
new discoveries, and there is now no
higher scientific name known to men or
more honored for his great works and
discoveries than Davy, who, like Frank
lin, lived in his scientific experiments
and for humanity.
He, too, saw glorious discoveries TO he
made, and hoped to live to witness the
result of many of his own discoveries.

Do not neglect your paint brushes.
Dip them in an old can containing ben.
zine, kerosene or turpentine, then wash
thoroughly with soap and hot water.
Pearline is even better than soap; il re-
moves the color rapidly and does pot in
jure the bristles il they are well rinsed
in clear water afterward. Put your
brushes in jar, handles down, and
leave them to dry. One Of the oldest
sights in an artists studio is the number
of brushes disposed in various artistic
bits Of pottery in hooks and corners.
Some painters pride themselves ON
owning many hundreds of brushes of
every possible style and size. Handsome
brushes are ruined if lett dirty; itmakes
the hairs come out, but the large brushes
used in common work will not be in
jured by being left in water over night
IL you intend to use them for the same
colors next day.
Burn your paint rags when you have
done with them. Oily rags are very in
fiammable and sometimes take fire spon-
taneously when left in heap in some
corner.-Harper's Young People.

Among the Indians of North America
many strange beliefs are held respecting
demon heads that wander about, some
times harmlessly and Mt other times for
malignant purposes. Some of them are
Of gigantic size, with wings, while 9th
ers have faces of fire.
There used to be society among the
the Iroquois organized for the purpose
of propitiating these extraordinary ter
rors. The latter, according TO popular
conception, most commonly moved about
from tree to tree in solitary places,
where they were apt to be encountered,
much to the discomfort of hunters and
women who chanced to be alone in the
forest. Few things can be imagined
more disagreeable than to meet unex-
pectedly in the woods great head six
feet high, without legs, arms or body.
Occasionally these remarkable crea-
lures would talk, but it was chiefly at
night that they had fiery aspect, their
favorite nocturnal haunts being marshes
and pools. Members of the exercising
society wore masks in imitation of the
heads when they performed ceremonies
for the purpose of driving such demons
away. OF course the fire faces were
invented to account for the jack-o'-lan-
terms or 'ignes fatui" which haunt moist

IL was the lot Of u young parson to be
embarrassed by the appeals of two young
women who wanted TO marry the same
bridegroom. The first conner OF these

there TO discuss the business. Luckily
for him, it speedily leaked out that there
had been no legal residence in his par
ish, which afforded him at once suffi-
cient ground for declining TO perform
the ceremony.
On another occasion the awful dis
covery was made that the bride had by
accident been described in the marriage
license by her pet name. II was sug-
gested that an affidavit of identity sworn
at n neighboring police court might re-
pair the blunder. This was done just In
time to complete the ceremony within
canonical hours, but the accommodate
ing clergyman afterward received a
stern admonishment from high quarters
mot TO do 1t again. ."-Cornhill Maya
