The Wonderful Esquimaux whip.

There was q contest between four
Esquimaux in the village at the Fair,
writes Chicago correspondent of the
New York World. The prize was a
contest for q five cent piece, which
some American willing to encourage
sport had buried in the soil 80 that only
fragment of its glittering rim was
visible. The men stood eight feet apart,
with whips forty feet long. Such
whip would have been terror in the
hands of an Esquimaux if it had had
real handle; but of the forty feet thirty
nine feet and half were lash. The
handle was a stout piece of white wood
six inches long, to which the lash of
rawhide was fastened. Such whips are
used by the Esquimaux upon the teams
of dogs which drag them over the snow.
The contest this afternoon demonstra-
ted the fact that it must be very un-
comfortable to be an Esquimaux dog
within forty feet of the driver. Tt
would be no trouble at all for the
Esquimaux to remove an ear or pound
of flesh, full weight, from any dog in
the team.
AAO ihosV OAPCAU WhuP uLohS eAo
Esquimaux was little man, not much
more than four feet high with slanting
eyes, and spiky, black beard, that
made him look very Japanese. A move
ment of his wrist sent the forty feet of
lash curving back in a straight line like
long snake. Another movement and
it came forward, noiselessly shooting
through the air just above the surface
of the ground until, with loud report,
the tip end of the lash struck the pre-
else spot where the coin lay buried,
dug it from the ground, and brought
it spinning back to the Esquimaux
artist. Such precision and such force
are certainly unknown to any other
whips in the world.
Cowboys with their vaunted cracking
of bull whips are small children COM
pared to these wonderful Esquimaux.
A man standing half way between the
contestants could certainly have been
hacked to death with the ends of their
lashes, in very few minutes. The
force with which the tip of the lash
struck the ground was so great that the
particles of dirt which flew about in
fiicted painful wounds upon the faces
of the spectators.

The Fading of Cut Roses.

To prevent the fading of cut roses,
those that are red or pink must be
kept where the light is not very strong.
Light is, however, beneficial to the
color of yellow roses, and they as well
as white ones may be placed in a strong
light, providing it is not sunlight,
without injury. When the flowers are
placed in fresh water, which should be
changed at least once day, add u
little salt and clip the ends of the stems.
1t is well over night to place cut roses
in a cool moist place. If FLOWERS arrive
before you are ready to make use of
them, lay cloth over the ice in the
ice-box, and lay the flowers upon it, or
set them on the ice in the box in which
they are packed.
The use to be made of roses must be
thought of i'll ordering them, as some
varieties beautiful for house decora-
ton are not hardy enough for corsage
bouquets. For the latter the Catharine
Mermet, the Bride, and the Perle des
Jardins retain their freshness longest.

SNOW CuSTARD.

Soak one-half box gelatine an hour
in one cup cold water. Then add one
cup sugar, two cups boiling water and
boil three minutes, then pour out.
When cool and on the point of con-
gealing stir in gently the well-beaten
whites of four eggs. Continue stirring
until it begins to stiffen, then pour into
mold. Put in cold place. Make
this in the evening. Next morning
make custard of four yolks, one cup
sugar and four cups milk. Boil until
rich and thick, and pour into glass
bowl. Flavor with lemon or vanilla.
When perfectly cold turn the snow
jelly from the mold carefully on top of
it.-Detroit Free Press.

SPRAYING APPLE oRcHARsD IN WET SEASONS

The time for destroying the apple
worm is Immediately after the petals
fall, and the spraying should be re-
peated once or twice after the apples
begin to hang down. Experiments by
E. G. Lodeman at the New York Cor
nell Station indicate that the first APP
plication of fungicides should be made
soon after the buds open and just be-
fore the flowers fall. Apple trees should
be SO pruned that both the sunshine
and the spraying reaches every part.
The Bordeaux mixture reduces the in
jury done by the apple scab fungus.
The addition of Paris green to this
mixture gave better results than when
London purple was used. More spray
ing applications are required during
wet seasons than during dry ones.
The trees should be sprayed once a
week during wet weather The results
show that the application of the COM
bination of the Bordeau mixture and
Paris green OF London purple was
valuable and practicable for the treat
ment of the apple scab fungus and the
apple worm even when over five inches
of rain fell during June. American

ARr1cHoKEs For SWINE.

Artichokes are excellent food for
swine, and especially for pigs and
shoats that are growing rapidly. If the
pigs are to be allowed to gather the
tubers for themselves, then the arti-
chokes should be planted on rather
light soils, because in roofing over the
soil to get at the tubers the ground
will be made more compact by the con-
stant tramping upon it, with the ad-
dition of the manure of the hogs in the
gathering of the crop, during the wet
weather late in the fall and early in
spring. This working over of the soil
by swine will greatly improve light
soils, but it has been found in practice
that it will injure heavy, tenacious
clay by making it more compact. New

Varieties Of Teas.

Throughout the greater part of
China proper the tea consumed by the
people is sun-dried. Thus prepared it
has much more delicate flavor than
that which comes to Western markets,
but people in this part of the world
demand something stronger and would
find it insipid. In the North and East
the leaves are mixed with jassimine
flowers. This is an expensive COM
pound for fashionable consumption.
It is sold in little packages, one OF
which is just enough for brewing sin

TO COOK SPINACH.

Put the washed spinach in sauce
pan with enough cold water to cover
it, and add little salt and a very small
amount of soda; bring the water quickly
to boiling point, then strain it from
the spinach. The spinach must have
as much of the moisture as possible
pressed from it, rub it through fine
wire sieve, then put it into saucepan,
add little flour, butter, pepper and
salt, and stir it over the fire until it
boils; let it boil for few minutes,
then serve it very hot with small tippets
of fried bread round it.-New York

There are many varieties of teas, and
the botany of tea plants has never
been well written up. One kind OF
tea that grows in the mountains near
Kialing has natural flavor of milk, or
rather of butter. It is found wild on

feet high, with a stem four inches

Inaugnration TnnetionarIes.

With the growth of the presidential
Inauguration into a matter of national
importance and participation there has
gone along a great increase in the
amount and compleXity of the work of
preparation for it. The old time COM
mittee of arrangements, consisting of
- Mr.. Mayor and two or three other
citizens, which got together a few
nights before the Inauguration and an
nounced the programme the morning
after the meeting, has given place to an
executive committee of from thirty to
forty members, with large auxiliary
committees on finance, decoration,
transportation, military affairs, civic
organizations, public comfort, inaugura-
tion ball, and, possibly, other important
matters.
1t is significant of the increasing i'm
Dortance and presence Of wums upon
public occasions that this year there is a
women's committee to look after the
welfare Of unattended women, and that
the committee has found dabundantwork
to its hand. Railroad lines recognize
aud deal with the necessity for eycur-
sion rates, the running of large and fre-
ueut trains and even the lodging of
visitors in sleeping cars parked on the
racks. Hotels and lodging houses take
