CnInr and Warmf fh.

The color of materials has some in- f1uence on the warmth of the clothing. Black and blue absorb heat freely from without, but white and light shades of yellow, etc., are far less absorbent. This difference can be demonstrated by experiment. The same material, when dyed with different colors, will absorb different amounts of heat. In hot coun- tries white coverings are universally worn, and sailors and others wear white clothing in hot weather.
 With regard, however, to heat given off from the body the color of the ma terials used as clothing makes little if any difference. Red flannel is popu- larly supposed to be warm, though it is no better in this respect than similar materials of equal substance, but white CT gray in color. Dark clothing is best for cold weather, because it more freely absorbs any heat that is obtainable.- Fortnightly Review.

A NOVEL RAGING MATCH.
Tobogganing Down Run Rocking
 Horses to Decide Wager.


 Horses to Decide n Wager.
 There is no knowing what an Eng lishman will not do to decide bet. Men have jumped across dining tables, mounted upon untractable steeds-yea, and even kissed their own mothers-in- law-in order to settle wager. In fine, it ought to be an established maxim among us by this time that, given a cer tain number of impossibilities and an equal number of young Englishmen, those impossibilities will not long re- main such, provided they be made the subjects of bets.
 One of those incidents which go long way toward justifying the reputa tion which as nation of madmen we have earned among foreigners occurred at St. Moritz when, lin order to settle a bet" Lord William Manners and the Hon. H. Gibson agreed to go down the village "run" mounted on rocking horses in place of ordinary toboggans. A feature of the race was that both competitors were "attired in full hrnt ing kit, and as elaborate preparations had been made for the contest and ru nor of the affair had been industriously noised abroad the crowd which had as sembled to witness it was both large and distinguished.
 The start was fixed for 12 o'clock, and shortly before that hour the shouts of the spectators announced that the horses were off. Unlike the custom i'll toboggan races, both started at the same time. In the first course Lord William Manners led as far as certain angle of the "run' called Casper's Corners, from the fact that hotel of that 4;une is situated close by, but taking it rather high MT. Gibson passed cleverly on the inside, which he maintained to the fin ish, ' Lord William being sumnlarily dismissed from his tractious steed $ back some distance to the bad from the winning post.
 In the second course Lord William Manners again had the advantage as far as Casper's $ Corners, where MT. Gibson again tried to pass him on the inside, but being jockeyed by his opponent his horse swung round and s1oceeded down the run tail foremost, but leading. The merriment of the spectators at this stage of the proceedings may be more easily imagined than described, nor did it abate in the least when MT. Gibson, dismounting, seized it unceremoniously by the nose and turned it into the way it should go.
 Meanwhile Lord William Manners had suffered disappointment second time, for in attempting to take to use true hunting term--a particularly awkward part of the run" called Bel vedere Corner his horse refused to re- spond to its riders exe1tions to get it successfully over the obstacle, and horse and jockey came down to the ground in one tumultuous somersault together.
 Lord Williams discontinue proved to be MT. Gibson's opportunity. The time and ground that the former had lost by his involuntary flight through the air were never recovered. MT. Gib- son, with the position of his horse re- versed and his legs thrust scientifically in front of him, rode easily and trium- phantIy forward and eventually reached the winning post some seconds in ad- vance of his opponent. nt.-Alpine Post.

Lyonnaise Potatoes.

For lyonnaise potatoes chop an onion fine, fry it brown in tablespoonful of butter, add another tablespoonful to the iron spider after the frying and let the butter become very hot. Then cut 6 whole boiled potatoes into seven slices and lay them in the spider, which should be ample enough to hold them without tapping over one another. Let them fry brown on both sides, tossing them occasionally to prevent them burn ing. Sprinkle a tablespoonful of parsley over them and serve at once. They should be very hot when brought on tho table

HOW TO CLEAN QUAIL
1t Can Be Quickly and Neatly Done With

1t Can Be Quickly and Neatly Done With
 Scissors.
 To clean dozen quail in six minutes, and to do it without even selling your fingers, you need pair of scissors. The long handled, short bladed scissors used by taxidermists are best, as they cut bones with less exertion of strength. Take up one of them, remove the head, wings and feet ill five brief clips, cut ting off the wings pretty close to the body, and the legs above the knuckle joint, just where the feathers begin. Then tear the skin off the breast, roll it back from the sides and strip it down along the back almost ill one piece A few plucks at the remaining feathers leave the bird bare except the tuft of feathers on the tail.
 Again taking up the scissors, insert a sharp point through the flank of the bird up near the shoulder and make a clean cut back through the ribs to the thin part of the belly under the end of the breastbone. Repeat for the opposite side. Of course the bird ta II falls near ly apart, the viscera being all exposed. Now place the points of the scissors we'll up ill the cavity of the body, just above where the heart lay exposed, make one neat clip and cut the liza. ments which bind the upper viscera to the backbone; then, still using the scis. sors and not the fingers, ill one move ment rake back all the viscera, which hangs quite free of the abdominal cavity and is attached to the tail, or ''pope's nose." One more clip close up the body sewers the ''pope's nose,' and viscera and tail feathers fall at a stroke the bird remaining ill the hand clean and free from blood.

How to Make NOugat.

Peel pounds of small sweet al- monds, dry them well, put them ill a warm place; put into copper pan pounds of pounded sugar end about 13 ounces of white honey; put the pan over the fire and let the contents boil, skim ming it the while. After the first boil put in four tablespoonfuls of rye sirup and few drops of citric acid. When the sirup has cooked enough, take it off the fire, flavor it with any desirable essence, add a few drops of vegetable carmine to tint it, pour it on to an oiled piece of marble, and with wooden spoon bring it all toward the center to form pliable mass. Work the paste by pulling it lengthwise for about two min utes. This must be done by two persons, and briskly, so that the material has not time to get cold In this mass mix the warm almonds and two handfuls of blanched pistachios; arrange it in a wooden box, lined throughout with strips of wafer. Smooth the surface of the nougat. It should be arranged in pieces about two inches deep. Cover this also with wafer; put OH the lid weigh it down so as to press the contents close ly together. After 10 minutes take off the weight and cut the nougat ill thin strips.

How to Remedy Brittle Hair.

A remedy for hair that is brittle and falls out is to pour a gallon of cold rain water on an onuce of sulphur and half all ounce of sugar of. lead. Let it stand, covered carefully, for a week, stirring occasionally. Strain it off and wash the hair with it every day, and when dry brush it with stiff brush. The cost of this is but 10 cents gallon, and my ex- perience has been an entire cure fo1 these evils. The sugar of lead is poison ous, so keep it where no animal can drink it.

STATE NEWS,

The state board of health held
meeting Tuesday at. Burlington. Ii
view Of the number of cases of small
pox in the country, especially in New
York state and city, and since it ha,
been some time since there has been any
general vaccination, especially of school
children, in Vermont, it was deemed
necessary by the board to recommend
that all local boards in the state should
take up the matter and urge vaccina-
tion, especially of school children.
The state board of health has made
arrangements with the national vaccine
establishment at Washington, ID. c.,
to supply all local health officers with
fresh virus at reduced rates. The Sec
retary of the board will soon send in
structions to this effect to each local
board OF health in accordance with act
so of the laws of 1892.
There has been less diphtheria in the
state than during any recent year, and
there has been no serious outbreak of
any epidemic disease during the fall
and winter, although there have been
scattered cases of typhoid and scarlet
fever. Just now the most serious out
break of diphtheria that has occurred
during the past year is reported at
Calais.

A careful canvass of the House by
The Press indicates that the Wilson
bill will pass on Thursday, with the
income tax amendment, by fair ma
jority.
The income tax, which is opposed
solidly by New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut Democrats, has
brought every Populist and crank in
the House over to the bill.
Jerry Simpson said tonight: "We
Populists have got what we want and
we will give it ten votes. Without the
income amendment we should have vot-
ed against it.
Several polls have been made by
Congressman. Themajority in its favor
is set down at thirty at the lowest esti-
mate, and at seventy as the highest.

Republicans will vote to put the income
tax amendment on the bill. "If we can

tax is the best thing for us out West"

sylvania, 2; making %.
Congressman Cummings said the
New York delegation will hold meet

decide on their plan Of action. Many
of the Democratic Congressmen from
the East frankly say that the income
tax will destroy all hope of carrying any
Eastern States for any Democratic
nominee in 1896.

The Vermont Fish and Game
League are making an effort to raise
money to stock the State with black
game from Norway and Sweden and
sharp-tailed grouse from the north
west. The League says:
The Black Game, which are the
largest of the grouse family, thrive in
countries where the fora is similar to
ours and the winter climate much
more severe than in any portion of
our state.
The Sharp-tailed Grouse are very
hardy game bird, as they are found in
large numbers north of the Saskatch-
evan river, where the winters are ex-
tremely severe. They are bud-eaters
and would do as well as our native
Ruffed Grouse in any part of our
State.
1t is believed the common Virginia
Quail can, with a very slight expense,
be helped through our winters, and is
very desirable game bird for oul
lake and valley towns.
