Barley Water-A very safe and
nutritious drink in summer, and one
that is pleasant as well, is made by
boiling tablespoonful of barley or
rice -four for fifteen minutes with q
quart of water; then let it get ice cold
and add lemon juice and sugar to taste
Pearl barley or rice may be used in
stead of the -four, but it requires to be
cooked in a double boiler, and for at
least an hour, and then strained.

The Color Of Electricity.

At meeting Of the British Meteor
illogical Society ut London, Sheltord
Bidwcll made n remarkable expert
mcnt showing the effects of electricity
upon steam. 1t is II Wrll-known fhct
that the shadow Of II jet of steam cast
upon any white background under or
binary circumstances Is of feeble III
tcnsity and of neutral tint. But
however, if the jet he given dis
charge of electricity just nj the mo-
ment when il comes i'll contact with
the air, the density of the shadow Is
amazingly increased, rs II result of
condensation, and it ussuncs pccllI-
inr orangc-hruwn hue with lines and
waves merging into inky hInckness
Mr.. Bidwell, the only person to my
knowledge who has ever made these
experiments scientifically, suggests
that the electricity promotes II coales-
cence of the exceedingly minute pnr-
ticlcs of water contained III the Jet of
steam, thus forming drops large
enough to ubstruct the more refrHug-
lille rays of light but why the color
of the shadow should change from
neutral To shades of mt least three we'll

explain. From one Of his late articles

TOMATOES RIPE AND RED.

1t Is not SO very many years since
tomatoes, or Glove apples" rs they
were then called, might be seen ranged
along the country mantelpiece, divid-
ing the honors with shell flowers and
wax wreaths.
They were considered then as rank
poison, unfit for the proud position
they now occupy on the table. Even
after that belief was disproved, they
were widely suspected of being the
subtle cause of cancer, and their pop.
ularity suffered not little thereby.
But now they are recognized MS one of
the chief of vegetables, and new ways
of preparing them are being constant
ly devised by knowing cooks.
To make "tomato eggs cut three or
four good sized and not too ripe to-
matoes into halves. Take ont little
of the inside, lay them in II pan con
tanning two ounces of heated butter,
and fry them lightly; when nearly
done carefully dropa raw egg from the
shell into each tomato; watch till it
has set perfectly, then take each one
separately from the pan and lay it on
slice of buttered toast cut to the side
of the fruit Dust over them little
coralline pepper, and sprinkle little
finely grated ham on the white of each
egg. Serve on hot dish, and garnish
with the leaves of the tomato.
Here is another way Of making Il
dish that will be feast to the eye as
well III to the palate: At the blossom
end of six ripe tomatoes make n small
hole of sufficient size to hold dice
shaped piece of butter that has been
dipped in pepper, salt, and grated nut
meg (mixed) Place them iii cup
shaped mushroom, previously souscd
in heated butter and slightly busted
with pepper. Arrange them on we'll
oiled dish and set them in hot oven
to cook. Take the soft roes from six
bloaters, season them with OIL and
pepper, curl them round, and grill
quickly on buttered paper over clear
fire. When the tomatoes and mush-
rooms are cooked remove them from
the oven and place roe on each one.
Round the whole pour GIL OF ham
coulis
TO make tomato fritters, boil, peel
and pound to pulp four tomatoes.
Beat this pulp up with the yolks Of
four and the whites of two eggs, four
tablespoonfuls of cream; season with
little grated nutmeg and dash of
cinnamon. Beat the whole till the bat
ter is very light, then divide it into
small frltters, and fry quickly in n pan
of heated butter. Drain ON kitchen
paper and send to table with the fol.
lowing sauce: Melt an ounce of butter
in clean saucepan, skim it well, add

WHAT MAKES ANARCHISTS.
Too Much Law in Some Instances, as
Shown BY Chicago Case.


CHICAGO, September 28.--A morning
paper contains the following:
One fine morning in August last Mat
thew Manski started to his daily work
in Chicago packing house. He kissed
his wife and two children and went of
in the best of humor.
During the day Msnski was rolling
out barrels at the packing house that
were ready for shipment. On the floor he
saw little piece OF picked pigs foot.
Picking up the tempting morsel, ManSki
ate it and went on with his work. This
was against the rules and the man was
arrested. He could not give bail and
was sent to the county jail, where he re-
NAMED four weeks.
The grand jury looked into the case
and found that the value Of the meat
eaten by the prisoner was Ia cents,
This being the case, the jury refused to
find an indictment.
Manski said that he was hungry when
he saw the piece Of meat, and he had a.
most unconsciously picked it up and
eaten it. A freeman at last, he hurried
to his little home. But the wife and
children had been unable to get along
during the months imprisonment Of the
husband. The woman had been sent to
the insane asylum and the two children
had disappeared.
Msnski feels that he has been badly
treated. He cannot find bis little ones
and his wife is q lunstic for life. He is
under q cloud, and the fact that he was
once in jail will always make it difficult
for him 10 get employment.
The poor fellow is one Of the victims
Of our strange civilization. In his case
justice made q mistske,and yet it is hard
to point it out. The officer who arrested
him, the committing magistrate and the
grand jury were not to blame. They
simply obeyed the law. The packing
company had the right to enforce it's
rules. And yet there is something wrong
somewhere. MRnsd has become an an
