Washing Lemons.

"Please put those lemons in a
dish of water and let them stay
there ten or fifteen minutes before
you use them," said a lady to the
neE housemaid, who was getting
ready to make pies.
The girl looked somewhat sur
prised. and the lady continued:
II do not suppose that many peo-
pie stop to think aboutit, but the
outside Of q lemon is anything but
clean. If gov will look at it you
will see some tiny black spots like
scales all over it. These are the
eggs of an insect, and if the lemon
is not washed they are very likely to
become an ingredient Of whatever
dish the lemon is used for.

tice Of cleaning all the lemons ! use

When One Sneezes.

The practice Of saying God bless
you!" whenever q person sneezes
must be widespread indeed when we
find a similar salutation, Mbuka
(literally, equals live) obtaining
among the Fijians of the South
Pacific, q race developed by the
blending of the Malayo- Polynesiana
with the Papuans, the Figi group
being the border-land between the
two. It has been said by London
physician that one is nearer death
at the actual moment of sneezing
than at any other period Of ones
life. Herein, perhaps, lies the reason
for the kindly wish, and may &C.
count for the prevalent idea that i
is dangerous to interrupt . person
in the act of sneesing.-Ex.

A Summer Without Nights.

To the summer visitor in Sweden
there is nothing more striking than
the almost total absence of night.
At Stockholm, the Swedish capi-
tai, the sun goes down a few min
utes before ten o'clock, and rises
again four hours later, during a
greater part of the month of June.
But the four hours the sun lies hid
den in the frozen north are not
hours of darkness-the refraction
of his rays as he passes around the
North Pole makes midnight as light
as cloudy midday, and enables
one to read the finest print without
artificial light at any time during
the might"
At the head of the Gulf of Both
MIA there is a mountain, on the
summit of which the sun shines
perpetually during the five days OF
June 10Th, Goth, 21st, 22nd and
23rd. Every six hours during this
season of continual sunshine q
steamer leaves Stockholm crowded
with visitors anxious to witness
the phenomena. At the same place
during the winter the sun disap-
pears, and is not seen for weeks
then it comes in sight again for ten,
fifteen or twenty minutes, gradual
ly lengthening its stay until finally
it stays in sight continuously fol
upwards of one hundred and TWEEN

Nutmeg Is Poisonous.

Cases are not infrequently re-
ported in which children, and some
times grown persons, are poisoned
by the free use of nutmegs, it not
being generally known that this art
icle Of common household use is
really q deadly poison. This is
true, in fact, of most common con-
diments; but the misuse of these
articles, such as pepper, capsicum,
ETC., is so obnoxious to the taste,
except when taken in very minute
quantities, that the consumer is
warned in q very positive manner
before he has had an opportunity
to do himself serious injury. This
is not the case, however, with nut
meg. This nut, which contains 2
poisonous principle of . very dead
" character, may be consumed
without tpeonvenience in quantities
sufficient to produce fatal conse-
quences; ead il is surprising, not

A Mountain Of Cinchona Bark.

A few miles from Mannheim there
is a village supported entirely by
its vast mandatory for changing
the cinchona bark into the quinine
of commerce. Several other medic
inal extracts besides quinine are
got from the bark, but after it is
put to every possible use there re-
mains substance, in bulk almost
equal to the original bark, for which
no possible use has been discovered.
Usually manufactures are able to
turn their waste products to some
sort of use-to fertilizers, to the
making of embankments, to the
filling of uneven ground. And if
they cannot use them in some pos
tive way, they may at least burn
them, and so get rid of the burden.
No so with the refuse of cinchona
bark. Years ago the mandatory
dumped this stuff into the river.
But the Government was called in
to investigate, and found that the
worthless stuff not only killed the
fishes, but so embittered the waters
that they were not fit to drink. So
it was forbidden to the manufacto-
ry to use the river to carry off its
waste products. Then ground was
bought, and they started to dump
ing, and now the village is under
the shadow Of great hill that is
rapidly growing and will soon be
q little short of q mountain. This
huge artificial mound is an un-
slightly, barren thing, covering
many acres of soil that might be
put to some use. Some day an order
might come to remove the noun
tain into the midst of the sea. The
manufacturers hope, however, that
science, which has touched so many
unsightly and useless things with q
magic wand, may enchant even the
bitter and worthless refuse of cin-
chona bark and make their noun
tain a gold mine.-N. Y. Sun.

He consulted a doctor one day
about his health, which was giving
him uneasiness, although Mr.. Os-

Jealous Wives.

Can a wife afford to show jeal
ousy? is a question that many
wives ought to ponder. The jeal-
ousy that was so sweet, so piquant
and 80 fattering in sweetheart is
irksome and unbearable and not
to be countenanced in the wife. It
is too prohibitive, too autocratie
and too arbitrary, so the husband
argues, and in nine cases out of ten
the wife who is jealous and shows
it teaches her husband deceit, nay.
inspires him to . very mannish
spirit of opposition. The minute
you put fence around man and
tell him he must stay inside of it.
that minute he begins to scheme
how he can skin over it or else
creep through it.
Whatever his faults, no man is
improved in his virtues by black
looks, recriminations or martyr
airs. When he gets these for fool
ish, harmless offsnses-for men are
very weak and succumb to all sorts
of temptations-he says to himself.
Gall right; I'll just give her some
thing to be sorry for" He isn't
above lying to her, and to escape
surliness, fits Of temper, tears. by
sterics or an air of martyrdom to
which Joan of Arc in the flames
was as nothing, many other men will
say any of the sex is justified in
any sort of prevarication.
At any rate jealousy exhibited

over is as impolitic as it is futile.

Working on Mountain Tops.

geme practical facts are furn.
ished by the experience of the
worknaaa engaged in the construc-
ton of the new Central Railway
over. the main range of mountains
in Peru. The line starts from Lima,
in latitude II deg. The summit
tunnel Of this line at Galeria is at
the height of II, ,645 feet, or little
under the height of Mount Blanc,
but it must be remembered that the
climatic conditions are very differ
ent and more unfavorable in Peru
than in Europe. E. Lane, the en-
gineer in chief, finds that the work
men up to an altitude 5000 to 10
600 feet do about the same relative
quantity of work az at sea-level,
provided they have been Injured to
the height or brought up in the
country. At 10000 feet the amount
of work deteriorates, and at IA GOO
to 10000 full third has to be de.
Quoted from che amount that the
same man could perform at sea-
level.
Owing to the absence of ma.
laria the percentage of efficient Ia
Dor at the greatest elevation is
very high one. Men coming from
the coast are not found capable o1
doing efficient work for about two
weeks on an average when taken
to high elevations. The capacity
gradually increases and reaches its
maximum in few weeks or months
according to the constitution of the
individual. The majority of the
laborers are "Cholos," or Indians
born in the Sierra. They are found
incapable of doing efficient work
on the coasts or in the warmer al
titudes without a long course OF
acclimatization. If gangs of these
schools" have for special purposes
been taken down suddenly from
| the Sierra to work at attitudes O
from 1000 to 5000 feet, sickness
and fever have resulted from thu
change.
Mules and horses are found Il
do about the same efficient worl
proportionately as human beings
| up to about II 1000 feet in this dis
trict. Mules stand the climate best
but, again, require some weeks fo
administration, and if urged to un
due exertion at great attitudes the!
are libable to drop dead suddenly

Chemistry = Detector Of Forgery.

Chemistry = Detector Of Forgery.
Some years ago travelling sales
man related to me a curious as,ci-
dent Of detecting a forgery. lie
was travelling salesman when en-
ery wheels came intesear}y use, and
he sold quite q large wheel'in Prov
idence, r. l., and wrote thena sehst
speed it was warranted to run at
safely. In a short time the party
wrote to him that the wheel had
burst and broken one mans arm
and done .other great damage. 80
when he went to their city he>callea
at their place, and they eued lHam
for some thousands of dollars dana
age; and as he was out Of his state
lit caused him no little trouble te
secure bonds for appearance ut
court for trial of the case. This he
did, however. Then he commenced
to study how to get out of his
trouble. He had been rather care
less in not copying his letters, and
this one in particular; but happy
thought struck him, and he went to
their Office and inquired what ink
they used. They said Carter's ex-
|clusively. In looking at the letter
he thought that the figure ] in the
800 was of slightly different
shade than the 800, while the sales
man used Arnold's only sn his Of
fee. So in going home he 's4ent
and saw a scientific chemist in New
York City and paid him $25 to fur
nish chemical solvent that would
dissolve or remove either ink zafh-
out affecting the other. So in about
month came to him. by express,
two bottles, one marked to remove
Carter's ink and the other to re-
move Arnold's, with directions how
to apply and use 1t. He tested
4hem, and both we're q success.
The time for court came, and he
appeared there with CO ounsel. He
heard the evidence of propraetor
and beokkeeper. In cross-examin-
alton the bookkeeper swore that he
used Carter's ink only. The sales
mans letter was produced. The
Judge and foreman of the jury were
called to the table to see an expert
ment in chemistry. Defendant had
two bottles Of ink and two bottles
of solvent. The court was asked to
write his name with the two inks
ON two pieces of paper and dry
them thoroughly by the fire. Each
solvent was tested; one removed
the Carter ink and the other the
Arnold. Then the letter was
brought and the court asked te
carefully examine the shades Of
ink, and thought it discovered
slight difference.
Then the solvents were applied,
and the figure 1 completely removed
without affecting the figures 800.
The court said, ut is not neces-
sary to proceed in this case. The
Jury is instructed to bring in YER
dict for defendant, with costs Of
prosecution" Said the salesman
who related this to me, II was not
through with Them then. l made
them pay for that emery wheel, all
of my costs and time, and nay law
yer's fees, or risk suit for forgery.
