Curious Springs,

There are several springs along the
range of the Allegheny Mountains
that are great curiosities From these
springs a very considerable current OF
air passes constantly, sufficient at any
time to blow handkerchief out of II
persons hand, unless it is held very
tightly. These phenomena have never
been explained, but it is generally be-
lieved that they indicate caves, and
that the breeze comes from the inter
nal air passages. The best known of
these is called Blowing Springs, and it
is at the foot of Lookout Mountain,
about six miles from Chattanooga.
This is visited by great many Curl
osity seekers and scientists. Others

Carolina and Georgia. Chicago Her.

p. ii. Hurd, out of the two or three

of no account, got clear off the track
when he patented his whirligig,
which was supposed to teach the baby
TO creep, and later to walk. There
was never any litigation in regard to
infringement of this patent; its life
was as short as That of saud-fly,
and it didn't take the inventor much
longer than that to find out that the
million dollars or so which loomed up
on the horizon the day he made ap-
plication had taken wings.

Cucumbers are seldom used except
raw, and yet they are both delicious
and digestible when cooked. The peel
should be removed and the cucumber
drained and sliced and simmered in
good brown gravy, to which very lit
tie Chile vinegar has been added, for
seven or eight minutes. Radishes,
like cucumbers, can be served hot as
well as in salads. They should be tied
in punches and boiled for eighteen or
twenty minutes, then placed on toast
and covered with white sauce. Peas,
French beans and sprouts are greatly
improved by being tossed for few
minutes previous to sending to table
in a saucepan containing lump of
fresh butter, tablespoonful of cream,
q pinch of caster sugar and seasoning

The drst American production,
really the genesis Of the cradle, was
never patented. though 1t was used
extensively in some portions Of the
country. This was the sugar trough,

sturdy father was literally hcwing a

stripped Of its bark and followed out
that was all there was to it, but,
crude as it was, it served the purpose
and allowed the mother to attend to
other duties in this busy time of
homcmaking. In spare moments,
the father constructed a more elab-
crate affair, boX-shaped and fitted
with roughly fashioned rockers, and
then the trough was relegated to its
former service of holding the sweet
sap from the sugar tree. At this
stage the inventor got firm hold on
the idea, and it was no time at all
until there were enough articles in
this line to make two generations OF
babies miserable.

TO BOIL AND SERVE SWEET CORN.

Half the sweet corn is spoiled in
cooking. The earG should not be
broken before cooking unless it is i'm
possible to get them into the kettle.N
Have the water boiling. Throw in a
tablespoonful of salt to every quart of
water. The corn, if not hard and
very full, should be cooked in from
twelve to twenty minutes. When the
corn is done q silver fork thrust into
a kernel should break open the skin
and release the inner kernel. Don't
let the corn stand after it is done in
the water in which it has been cooked.
Place it in double steamer.
A good plan is to boil more ears
than are wanted for dinner and cut off
the remainder to be heated up for
breakfast with milk, butter, pepper
and salt. These ears should be left
in the hot water until ready to be
scraped.
The ears which are to be served
should be broken into two or three
pieces, as they can then be eaten
without disturbing the comfort of the
rest of the table and making every one
who tries the corn on the cob appear
like hogs while eating. The pieces
should be small enough to be held
with one hand without soiling the tips
of the fingers.
Corn tastes best and looks best if
brought to the table in corn dolly,
or wrapped in plain napkin.-New

Baking is one of the cheapest and
most convenient modes of preparing

: In roasting meat turn with spoon,
instead of fork, as the latter pierces
the meat and let's the juice out.
One teaspoonful of cornstarch to
cup of table salt will keep it from
getting hard in the salt shakers.
To tell good eggs, put them in
water; if the large ends turn up they
are not fresh. This is an infallible
rule to distinguish good egg from
bad one.
Never bite or pass sewing silk

In an hour or two rub this off, and if
not clean, repeat the process.
An English way to cover flower pots
