HINTS ON CHEESE.

Most housekeepers quail before that
part of the family marketing which re-
lates to the purchase of cheese-and wish
the man of the house, who is usually the
chief consumer as we'll as the connois-
seur, would always buy it. Such may
find the words of an authority of value
ga cheese with an indication of good
ness will stand square on the shelf, and
will have an even-colored not mottled
rind. The moment you press your finger
tips on the rind, you can begin to judge
of the interior make up of cceese. If
it yields readily to the pressure of the
fingers, and the rind breaks, or does not
spring back readily when the pressure is
withdrawn, you have struck soft arti-
Gle, caused by the slack cooling of the
curd, want of acid, or both. At best
it will have an lnsipid flavor, and will
go Off as it ages. Cheese which feels
so hard that you cannot press it on the
rind is either sour, salted too heavily,
cooked too much, skinned, or suffering
from touch of all these complaints. A
good cheese will be mellow to the touch,
yet firm; its rind will be of an even tint,
elastic and free from puffs; and the
sample will reveal firm, close grained,
buttery cheese of nutty flavor. New

WASHING SILK STOCKINGS.

The proper washing of silk stockings
is matter of moment, row that they
are commonly worn. White silk stock
ings should be washed in strong lather
made of CASTLE soap or any good white
soap and warm water. Lay the stock
ings in the lather and rub the soiled spots
gently with the hands. Then rinse them
very thoroughly to free them from all
soap. Wiring them dry in a cloth, turn
ing them wrong side out. When they
are almost dry stretch and rub them in
the hands to make them smooth and
bring them in shape, but do not irou
them.
Black stockings may be washed in the
same way, but should be kept separate
from white stockings in the washing.
Some people go SO far as to rub their
stockings when they are dry with cold
iron, always making the passes one way
to make them smooth and glossy. 1t is
a great mistake, however, to iron any
stockings. 1t always makes an ugly
crease down the centre and does not add
to the appearance. It is far better to
rub them into shape, fold them up and
allow them to fit themselves to the limb.

The Gar Rescues a Pet Cat.

The Cars long visit in the Danish
capital, distance from threats and fears
of the Nihilists, is said to have been
most beneficial to his health and to have
put him in mood for less belligerent
views of the European situation. But
one fright has marred the serenity of his
life in Copenhagen and that concerned
his guards more than himself. Early
one morning guards in the park of the
castle at Fredensburg saw door leading
to the garden burst open and the Gar,
shouting and gesticulating, ran out in
slippers and shirtsleeves. An attempt at
assassination was the immediate conclu-
sion, and the guards ran to the rescue,
half of them fastening to the deserted
apartment and the others after the Gear.
The latter found the Gar beating two
large Siberian bloodhounds and saw
big Tom cat scooting off, tail up and
head down. The Gear. explained to the
astonished guards that as he sat at his
window he saw the dogs chase the cat,
the lavorite pet of King Christian, into
corner, and, fearing delay would be fatal,
ran to the rescue.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

MILK TESTS.

The relative composition of milk gives
us an idea of the amount of nourishment
obtained from it. There is usually about
eighty-seven per cent. of water, with
about thirteen per cent. of solids. These
solids are the nutritious part of the
liquid, and they consist of fat or butter,
casein or cheese, milk, sugar and certain
salts. Milk is thus naturally more valu-
able when it possesses greater quantities
of these solids. We often speak of the
richness of milk, and this means that it
contains a larger proportion of fat solid
than any of the other substances. AL
though this fat is the most valuable COM
mercially, the casein has as much real
nutritious value.
The value of milk, however, is rated
by its amount of fat or cream, and this
has been brought about largely by the
general production of butter, to which
most milk is used. The other solid
substances scarcely receive any rating at
all. Milk that will show test of twice
as much fat as another lot is valued at
just so much more. Some cows, and
even herds, vary in the amount Of this
fat produced in the milk, and the ami
mails and breeds have come to be rated
according to the amount of fat which
they produce in their milk.

USEFUL RECIPES.

Tomato Catsup--Take three cans
Quart size) of best tomatoes, and put
them into porcelain or bell-metal kettle
with one pound of brown sugar, one
pint of vinegar, one tablespoonful of
salt, two onions chopped very fine, a
tablespoonful of celery seed bruised, and
teaspoonful of powdered cloves. Boil
for three hours very slowly, then strain
through fine sieve, bottle, and it is
ready for use.
Tomato Figs-To eight pounds or
one peck of small tomatoes put three
pounds of brown sugar. Peel them, aud
let them scald until the sugar penetrates
them and they look clear, but are not
broken. Take them out of the syrup
with ladle, and spread them on dishes
to dry. The next morning fiatten them
with spoon, and add some of the syrup
to them. Do this until all the syrup has
been consumed and the tomatoes are
thoroughly we'll dried. Then pack them
in jar or box thus: One layer of to-
matoes, then layer of granulated sugar,
until the receptacle is full. Cover
closely, and lay a weight on them. With
ONE persons this is a favorite conserve.
Cucumber Pickle-If the cucumbers
are large, slice them in pieces an inch
thick, and pack them in a jar-a layer
of fruit and layer of seasoning. To
two gallons of cucumbers allow five
pounds of sugar--uness you prefer
genuinely sour pickle, when the sweet
ening may be omitted-two ounces of
allspice, two ounces of cloves, two
ounces of nutmegs, two ounces of mace,
four ounces of celery seed, two ounces
of black pepper, one quart of onions
peeled and sliced. When the jar is
nearly full, pour in enough vinegar to
cover the cucumbers. Set the jar in a
kettle of water, and let the pickle cook
long enough for the cucumbers to be
we'll done. To test this, see whether
you can stick straw through the fruit.
This pickle is ready for use at once. Tie
up securely, and it will keep well.--

Rabbit.Killing "Industry."

In New South Wales the Government
expended over 81, 900, 900 from 1883 to
1890 endeavoring to exterminate them.
Besides that greater sum has been ex-
pended in private moneys. In one year
25, ,230, 600 skins had royalty paid upon
them, Now, there is another side to
this question of determination, and that
is the rabbit killers and the rabbit skin
dealers interests. The rabbit killer gets
two cents head royalty from the Gov
ernment for destroying the animal. He
then sells the skin at from four to six
cents. On the meat at the canning fac
tories, he averages from two to four
cents. 1t is nice easy way of making
money. The skins are bale-pressed and
exported to London. In that city there
is general auction sale of skins every
six weeks. The sales average from fif-
teen hundred to two thousand bales, and
the average to bale is two hundred
skins. Pasteur endeavored TO exter-
inmate the rabbits by innoculaton with
chicken cholera. 1t is we'll known to
those behind the scenes that he did not
get fair trial, and, in fact, was so him
dered and hampered that he withdrew
his agents from further experiment. The
question has come up before the Gov
ernment again, and bill is now be-
fore the Sydney Legislature asking for a
vote to build brick wall entirely
around the agricultural boundary of the
colony of New South Wales. Rabbits
will not burrow lower than two and
half feet, and it is proposed to sink the
wall to that depth. The wall being once
built, general determination of the rab-
bits within the lnclosure will be COM
menced and carried through. The other
colonies will watch the experiment with
great interest, and if it succeeds will
probably all follow suit. Such course
would confine the rabbits to the great
Australian bush, in whose sandy deserts
they would soon die out. What use is
made of all these rabbit skins2 Why,
the hat on your head is made of them.
The hair is plucked off the pelt by
hand. A fortune awaits the man who
can invent machine to do it. A fine
blue fur is then left on the pelt. The
skin is then pared away from the fur by
delicate machinery so fine that when the
last pairing is cut off the fur sometimes
hangs in one 6lmy section. This is
worked up into ielt. Ordinary hats are
made from rabbit skin. A better class
is made from kind of water rat trapped
in Buenos Ayres, and then come beaver
and musquash, obtained in the United
States and Canada. -Bost on Transcript

The Dog Market OF Paris.

Among the queer institutions OF Paris,
of whose existence the ordinary Ameri-
can visitor with all his zeal for explora-
zion has no notion is the Dog Market,
which is held every Sunday in corner
of the Marche aux Chevaux. 1t is duly
authorized market that brings into the
exchequer of the city an annual sum
equivalent to $500. This, says CORE
spondent, proves that great deal of
business is done by the sale of dogs in
the course of the year. A tax of fifteen
centimes is levied upon the head of each
animal that is brought to market. The
number of entries averages Ia, 900 aunu.

injuriously affected the dog business, fol
there was marked decrease last year
The market is also said to have suffered
from the competition of those who sci
dogs in the streets and take large
families of them every Sunday into th'
Champs Elysees and the Bois de Bou

air and exercise, but really in hope o
negotiating their sale.-New York Tri

WISE WORDS.
Cupid has no brains.

Cupid has no brains.
Most old maids are heroines.
A woman can lie with her eyes.
Few know fame when they see it.
Ambition outgrows its possessor.
They always talk who never think.
Ideas are often choked up with words.
Friendship is more reliable fhan love.
Poverty may be useful, but it's not Or
namental.
Lack of air and lack of thought keep
mans mouth open.
The luxury of doing good surpasses
every other enjoyment.
To give pain is the tyranny; to make
happy, the true empire of beauty.
Few people disparage distinguished
ancestry except those who have none of
their own.
A babe in the house is wellspring of
pleasure, a messenger of peace and love,
resting place of innocence and love, a
link between angels and men.
When man sits and looks dreamily
out into the night, it is not near so
likely that he is thinking of his girl as
that he is calculating something about a
dollar.
Love exalts foibes into excellences
and blemishes into ornaments; envy
turns admiration into animosity and
pleasure into poison. Thus the trans
formations made by virtue beautify and
ennoble, those made by vice befoul and
degrade, what they change.
Once woman had taste aud a tact
for discriminating the incest shades OF
personality and character; and they en-
joyed nothing more than the employ
ment of their ample leisure in gratifying
this faculty. But now they are victim
lied by the same distracting buzz of am
bilious hurry and worry as the meu, and
in their eager attention to the differ
ences of social rank seem scarcely to
notice the differences of spiritual rank.

For NIoulting Hens.

Many people have learned by experience
that Sheridans Condition Powder given
once daily in food will supply the needed
material to strengthen and invigorate sick
chickens or mouting hens and get the
young pullets to laying earlier than any
thing else on earth.
Mrs. Edwin Brown, East Greenwich, K.
l., says: II could not do without Sher-
idan's Powder when hens are moulting. L
use it when chickens are small, as they often
droop and die when young. To pint OF
clabbered milk add teaspoonful OF the
Powder mix we'll and let the chicks eat all
they will once day; it does seem to be just
what they need; they soon become vigor-
ous.'

dicating the very finely divided state I

dicating the very finely divided state of
the poison and the extreme small guam
tity which is used to each tree, Professor
A. j. Cook, of the Michigan Agricultural
College, has conducted some striking ex-
periments. A thick paper was placed
under an apple tree which was thoroughly
sprayed on windy day, so that the drip
ping was rather excessive. After the
dripping had ceased, the paper Covering
space of seventy square feet was
analysed and four-tenths of grain of
arsenic was found.
| The whole matter was we'll summed up
by Professor Riley in recent lecture
before the Lowell Institute in Boston, in
which he said: "The latest sensational
report of this kind was the rumor emana-
ting from London within the last few
weeks that American apples were being
rejected for fear that their use was un-
safe. If we consider for moment how
minute is the quantity of arsenic that can
under the most favorable circumstances
remain in the calyx of an apple we shall
see at once how absurd this fear is, for
even if the poison that originally killed
the worm remained intact one would have
to cut many barrels of apples at meal to
get enough to poison a human being.
Moreover, much of the poison is washed
off by rain, and some of it is thro wn off
by natural growth of the apple, so that
there Is as rule nothing left of the
poison in the garnered fruit. Add to
this the further fact that few people eat
apples raw without cutting away the
calyx and stem ends, the only parts
where any poison could under the most
favorable circumstances remain, and that
these parts are always cut away in cook
ing, and we see how utterly groundless
are any fears of injury and how useless
any prohibitive measures against Ameri-
can apples on this score.-New York
World.
