IN LOvE-APPLE SEASON.

Tomatoes are healthy and tomatoes
are growing cheap. Therefore, the
New York Recorder concludes, rules
for tomato cookery are in order:
Tomato Eggs-Cut three or four
good-sized tomatoes in half. Take
out a little of each inside. Fry the
tomatoes lightly in a pan containing
two ounces of melted butter. When
almost done carefully drop raw egg
from the shell into the hollow of each
tomato. When the egg is perfectly
set take each one separately from the
pan and lay it on small, round slice
of buttered toast; dust with little
coraline pepper and sprinkle little
newly grated ham over the white of
each egg. Serve on hot dish, with q
garnish of nasturtium flowers and
leaves.
Tomatoes and Shrimps-Choose a
dozen smooth-skinned, medium-sized
tomatoes; cut piece off the top of
each and scoup out portion of the in
terror. Scald, bone and fillet three
snchovies; pound in mortar with q
half pint of freshly-skinned shrimps, a
tablespoonful of ham, one of taragon
leaves, a pinch of salt and dash of
cayenne. Mix together and nearly
fll each tomato with the mixture !;
then pour into each a little oil and
vinegar, seasoned with prepared mus
tard; lay the tomatoes in a bed of
freshly picked and washed cress.
Tomato Fritters-Boil, peel and
pound to q pulp four tomatoes. Beat
up with this the yolks of four and the
whites of two eggs, two tablespoonful
of cream, two tablespoonfuls of white
wine, seasoned with little grated nut.
meg and dash of cinnamon. Beat until
very light then divide into small fritz
ters and fry in a pan of heated butter ;
drain on paper and send to the table
with a sauce made of an ounce of
melted butter, the juice of two lemons
and tablespoonful of caster sugar.

F. Foreigners are wont to classify Aus
tria among the German countries. As
q matter of fact her German speaking
population is but limited, and annually
losing ground. The increase in popu-
lation among the German inhabitants
of Austria is but 5. II per thousand per
year the increase with the Italians in
Austria is 5. 80, and with the Slavonic
races 1893. OF 100 marriageable wo-
men in the German districts of Austria,
forty-one find husbands; among the
6lavonic races the percentage is fifty
EYo. One of the reasons for this show
ing is that in the German districts of
Austria the economic management of
affairs is almost prohibitory to mar
riage among the younger sons and
daughters of the peasants. The home
stead goes to the eldest son, whose
brothers and sisters become his SER
wants. Among the Slavs the family
property is equally divided among all
children after the death of the father,
and each one is allowed to begin house
keeping on his own hook.

1.-THE Government of Japan has in
hand plans for the construction OF
fourteen new railway lines. Atpresent
Che railway mileage of the empire
reaches some 1900, of which S94 be-
longs to various companies. These, it
lis said, will be taken over by the State.
Formerly the lines were built by
British contractors, with material sup
piled by the United Kingdom, and
were operated by foreign engineers,
but now the State and private COM
panies have their own Japanese en-
gineers, and a great part of the railway
material and rolling stock can be fur
nished from the National shops at
Ehinbasi, although there is still room
for considerable foreign importation
In this line.

Saws the New York Independent on
the subject of irrigation: The earliest
agriculture of Europe, Asia and At
rica began in arid lands. Turning to
America it is discovered that this fun
damental art began everywhere under
like conditions of great aridity, on
sandy plains and hot deserts. In the
southwestern portion of the United
States, the very last district of the
country to be settled by white men, In
some portions of Utah, Colorado,
Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and
California, where natural vegetation is
so rare that it scarcely gives character
to the landscape, where sandstorms
drive over the country, where naked
plains spread under lurid sky, and
where the landscape is often one OF
naked rock, and where adamantlne
forms stand in groves, and the trees
are fossils buried in the rocks, the
most ancient agriculture is found. Fs
in the country thus described, the In
Alan tribes in centuries lost to history
cultivated the soil by artificial irriga-
zion, and developed corn, cotton, po-
tatoes, and other vegetables useful to
man, while the rich valleys to the
north and east were yet untouched by
agricultural labor.

HOW TO WASH DISHES.

Do you know how to wash dishes?
Not merely SO that you get them off
the kitchen table into the china closet,
but SO that the despised and dreaded
task becomes almost pleasure. This
is the way to accomplish that result.
As soon as the cooking is done, fill
all the cooking utensils with water and
leave them to soak When the meal is
ended scrape all the plates clean-not
with knife, for that scratches and
nicks-but with soft piece of left
over bread Put the plates in one
pile, the saucers in another, the cups,
emptied of their DRAWINGS, together,
and the glass and silver together.
Have bowl of water cool enough to
allow your hand to remain in it few
minutes without scalding, but hot, and
wash the glasses with soap in that.
Dry them as fast as they are washed.
If you let them stand upon tray the
air dries them, and does it in streaks
where the water is trickling down.
Have soft, clean, lintless cloth for
this purpose.
Then wash the silver; the water
should be very hot for this. If there
are any crevices, clean them with a
brush kept for the purpose. Dry on a
clean towel and polish with silver
powder.
Next wash your cups and saucers.-
one at time. Use mop with ham
die, and don't, in this day and genera
ton, be without one of those wire
kitchen conveniences known as soap
shaker. Wipe each cup and saucer
before putting it out of your hand, or
it will dry partially and streakily, and
be rough to the touch. After the
cups and saucers, wash the plates In
the same way. Then clean the tins,
and then the pots and pans.
To clean knives, rub with soft
flannel dipped in powdered bath
brick, or in wood ashes. Never let the
ivory handles be dipped in hot water.
Tins may be kept in state of daz-
zling Brightness by being rubbed
with sifted wood ashes or with whiten-
ing.
Copper utensils should be secured
with brick dust and flannel.
The dish cloths and mops should be
washed, scalded and dried after each
using. The towels should never be
thrown aside in damp lump, but
should be hung to dry, and then
dropped into the kitchen hamper
against washing day.
The dishpan should be thoroughly
washed with soap and water, secured
and -rinsed with scalding water, dried
and hung on its own hook. Then the
sink should be secured and rinsed with
scalding water, in which common soda
has been dissolved. New York World.

At a meeting of railway employees in

At meeting of railway employees in
Chicago recently Eugene V. Debs, long
connected with labor movements, said
that out of 1000, 600 railway employees
in the United States but $50, 600, less
than one-sixth of the entire number,
were members of the various existing
unions of railway employees. Probably
this is about the proportion of union
.nd nonunion men in other trades and
employments, suggests Public Opinion.

The trials of the rainmaker are, in
deed, numerous, remarks the Wash
ington Star. For long time it has
been asserted that a rainmaker is a
myth. People may think they pro-
duce rain, and they may make other
people think so : but, according to the
doubters, it is case of imagination
purely. Under conditions like these
the rainmaker might comfort himself
with the thought that genius very sell
dom secures prompt appreciation and
go his way, feeling sure that posterity
would see his vindication. But now
comes grief of an entirely opposite
character. A Kansas rainmaker boast
ed that cloudburst, which came quite
unprotected, was the result of his pro-
fessional endeavors. Thereupon a
Kansas farmer arose with a CLAIM for
damages because the oioudburst had
destroyed his crops, and the wife of a
man who was killed in awashout wants
liberal damages. The dilemma is a
painful one. The rainmaker must
either repudiate his science and de-
clare that his assertions were empty
boasts, or else he must assume the
moral and financial responsibility for
this devastating storm. 1t Is an inter-
esting problem, too, for the courts to
handle, and the public will wait with
interest for light which the judicial
mind may throw on the question of to
what extent it is possible for rain
maker to be responsible for rain.

The Southern States Magazine OBJ.
serves: "There appears to be an inn
preston among those who have seea
bet little of the South, particularly
during the past two years, that the
Southern planter or farmer is SO abso-
Iutely dependent upon cotton that i
that single crop fails, ruin and desola.
tion to the entire farming community
will follow. While it is true that
certain number of cotton planters still
hold to the time-honored plan of plant
ing nothing but cotton, the time when
this could be called q universal con-
dition in the South has happily passed,
and new and broader farming indus
trY has taken it's place. In 1892 the
cotton crop of the South was valued at
about $315, 900, 900. The corn crop
was valued at $24s, 900, 900, wheat over
$40, 900, 900 and oats about $25, 900, 900.
These three products then were Of
equal value with the cotton crop. Add
ing to them the value of tobacco raised,
over $22, 900, 900; of rice, about $10,.
900, 900; Florida oranges, about $3,-
500, 900, and of garden truck, fruit and
vegetables shipped North, between
$40, 900, 900 and $50, 900, 600, the total
<>f4 4ha a1 -,
to about $40, 900, 900. It was only in
the years Immediately following the
war that cotton was raised almost to
the exclusion of other products This
was because the people were almost
penniless and cotton was the one crop
upon which advances could be secured.
The condition of things has been stead
lily improving, and within the past two
years the lesson taught by planting too
much cotton has been so impressed
upon every one engagedin in it that there
has been general effort to raise more
foodstuffs, and particularly to provide
the food needed on each plantation or
farm. The Southern farmer to-day is
not solely dependent upon his cotton
crop for living. In western Tennes-
see, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas, while some few are follow
ing the old plan of purchasing food and
planting cotton, the vast majority are
raising diversified crops, and each sue
ceeding year will see this plan carried
out in greater degree. In Georgia
and the Carolinas cotton-raising will
soon hold second place, as to value,
among the agricultural products of the
States, not necessarily because less
will be raised, but because of the in
crease in the production of cereals,
fruits and vegetables Through the
western part of the coston belt such
condition will not be likely to exist.
but cotton will never again be raised
in place of food products, as has been
done in the past

TO ICE FRUTT.

To ice any fruit, dip first in Che
beaten white of an egg, then in pull
verized sugar. DO this until the icing
is sufficiently thick. Peaches should
be pared and cut in halves, and sweet,
juicy pears are treated in the same
way. Cherries, strawberries and other
small fruits are iced with the stems on,
only the largest being chosen. Pine
apples should be cut into thin slices,
and these again divided into quarters.
Oranges and lemc2s should be pared
and all the white skin removed, the
lemons cut into horizontal slices, the
oranges divided into quarters.-New
York Times.
