HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
COOK IN ~EARTHENwARE.

The favor of food baked or boiled in
earthenware is far superior to that Of
vegetable or animal food cooked in the
same way in iron vessels, for the reason
that iron is a conductor of heat, while
earthenware is a non-conductor; conse-
quently, food cooked in the latter is
rarely ever burned, the degree of heat
not varying perceptibly during the pro-
cess of cooking, thus preserving the
favor of what is cooked, as we'll as uni.
formity throughout the substance of the
meat, vegetables or grain, until the pro-
cess of cooking is completed.-New
York World.

The Oldest University.

The prevalent idea that the oldest uni
versity is in Europe is incorrect. In
the Tenth aud Eleventh centuries the
university at Fee, Africa, was almost
the only seat of Arabic and Christian
learning in the world. Before universe
ties existed in Paris, Oxford, Cambridge,
Padua or Bologna, students locked to
Fee from AndaIusia, France, and even
England, and Fee is to-day the prlncipaI
western seat of Mahometan theology.

Silk worms are not the sole source of
the production Of silk; it Is also obtained
from several vegetable substances, but
of an inferior and less durable descrip-
ton. Excellent colored silk is obtained
from the prepared and finer 6bers Of the
bamboo, which is much in demand for
clothing In tropical countries from its
ightness and porosity. Another form of
silk is obtained from the pods of the silk
cotton tree, Of which there are several
varieties in existence, the material OBJ
tanned from them being known as vege-
table silk.-Brooklyn Eagle.
