MAKE YOUR OWN SNOW.
Its Curious Formation In the Full Rays
Of .Iulv Suu


Two solid bodies, one yellow, sui
phur; the other black, carbon, unite
under certain circumstance to form a
colorless liquid, called sulphide of car
bon. which must be handled with
much precaution on account of IT'S
great explosive property. The soluble
property of sulphide of carbon renders
it valuable to take spots off of gar
ments. III its odor is more disagreed
ble than benZine or turpentine, il has
at least the advantage of being dis
peeled quickly in consequence of the
prompt evaporation of the liquid.
There is nothing equal 10 it TO
take off spots of paint on
clothes; IL does not do it, how
ever, without creating great fear in
persons who use it for the first time.
for they see on the very place where to
their great pleasure the pant had dis
appeared large white spot, the nature
of which is hard for them to define,
and the more they brush the more I'M
slightly and the larger the white spot
grows Is then the garment lost? No,
for fortunately after a few moments
the spots melt away never to show
again. II was snow and nothing more.
The sulphide of carbon in evaporating
take heat from the cloth and surround
ing air. and the result of that is a sud
den lowering of tempe nature sufficient
to freeze the vapor of the atmosphere.
Without operating ON your clothes
you may make the experiment in the
following way: Fill small via with
sulphide of carbon, taking great care
to do it far from all flame or heated
stove, then close the bottle with a
cork stopper through which you
have previously bored a small hole.
In this hole place piece of blotting
paper made up into a small roll. The
paper must reach to the bottom of the
bottle and about one inch above the
cork. Within fifteen minutes YOU will
see the outside of this paper COW
cred with snow, the quantity of
which gradually increases. The liquid
has risen through the pores of the pa
per as the oil of lamp through the
wick. When it gets TO the open air it
evaporates and the water contained in
the surrounding atmosphere, being
brought to temperature below thirty
two degrees, has been frozen. If you
divide the paper outside of the bottle
into several pieces you obtain flowers
and most charming IF cts. You may
make the experiment in summer and
in the full rays OF the sun. The result
will be obtained then more promptly,
evaporation being more abundant

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.
lie Missed IL and His Feelings Were Hur
In


The other morning a patrolman on
Grand River avenue was accosted by a
strapping young man on horseback
who wanted to know how to reach the
corner of Beaubien and High streets.
lie was given directions and then
asked:
"Was a man found dead on that cor
ner Yesterday"
Haven't heard of any such case
was the reply.
But if he had been you'd have heard
ofit?"
Most likely. No report has been
made at the station, and there was
nothing in the papers last night or this
morning about il.
do you think the sidewalk around
there is all covered with blood?"
mo, why should it be?n
Say. A Teller couldn't have been
murdered there yesterday and nothing
said about it, eh?"
mo, sir. You seem to have some
thing ou.your mind"

tramp came hoofing along and made

"What for?'
ooh! just felt that way. never
had real fight, you see. and wanted
to know what could do"
II see"
y peeled off my coat and vest to go
for him, when he squares off and says:
Don't monkey with me. for I'm all
teeth. I've just killed a man in De-
troit.
What for? says |.
Cause he just looked at me, says
he
How did you kill him?
Just swung my right at his jaw
and he died. More'n a bari o blood

you won't live three minits.
and he bluffed you down?" said the
officer.
Say! That's what came in to find
out" replied the young man. 81 lay
awake all night thinlIin' of how could
have made that feller's heels crack the
back of his head, and yet if he was
such fighter / might have been
licked"
well, he didn't kill anybody. 1
don't think he even had a fight"
And I'm blutfed man"
Looks that way"
And missed the goldenest opportu-
nifty ever had to lick somebody"
THAT seems to be the case"
"Wall, by the horn-spoon and dozen
knives and forks, but you listen to my
murmur. I'm goin' back home and sit
on stump and wait for tramps. The
first burned hyena who shows his head
in Sand IIill will find me climbin' over
him. ] don't lleer how many men he's
killed or how many bar'ls of blood he's
split, but I'll swarm for him and I'll
bang his head and I'll punch him so
full of holes that the man who finds
him will think he's come across some
thing new i'm the shape of horse

"You shouldn't feel so bad about il, -
observed the officer.

Protecting CottoIene.

The Y. X. Fairbank Company of Chi
cagO have lately brought suit in the | nlted
States Court against W. L. Henry, of this
city. for $4,000 for infringement of their
trade mark "Cottolene. The n. X Fair
bank Company sets forth that they origi-
mated, prepared, and put upon the market
a new food product consisting OF refined
Cotton Seed Oil and a small proportion OF
Beef Suet, making pale yellow material OF
the consistency and substance of lard, al
most without Odor and intended TO take the
place of lard in cooking.
In order to indicate the source and gen.
uineness of their new food product they
originated. coined, and used as a trade mark
the word s'Cottolener The healthfulness
and many other advantages of Cottolene
over lard were so apparent that Cottolene
became at once very popular and IS now
largely sold all over the country.
The new food product and its name Cot
tolene" have become widely known as the
product of The n. X. Fairbank Company.
The trade mark IS described as ''trade
mark for Oleaginous Food Substances,
&c" consisting of a head or neck of
Steer or other bovine partially enclosed by
sprigs and branches of the Cotton plant
The N X. Fairbank Company charges
that W. l.. Henry, of Macon, Ga dealer
in fresh meats and food products generally,
has been and is endeavoring unlawfully TO
avail himself of the benefits of the name
s.Cottolene'' and its popularity; that he has
been and is selling product similar in kind,
but inferior in quality, under the name OF
''Cottolenen to the injury of the original
and genuine "Cottolene." and to the loss
and injury of its manufacturers The \. *.
Fairbank Company.
The infringements upon the trade mark OF
SCottolene'' have become so frequent, and
so many dealers are selling an inferior
article and claiming it to be COttOlene that
Tie n. X. Fairbank Company are deter
mined TO protect their customers and pro
pose to sue every retail dealer who IS thus
imposing upon his customers and infringing
upon The n X Fairbank Companys trade

CHICKEN LIvERs IN MANY WAYS.
They Are Great Delicacy When Properly
Cooked.

A very common way of cooking chick
en- livers is en- brOchette the livers cut
in slices and put on long spike with
alternate thin shavings of bacon and
mushrooms. This is turned rapidly
over a broiler, and the result is very
satisfactory as breakfast dish.
saute of chicken livers is favor
lite dish with the French. This, made
with little butter and onion or garlic
and eschalotte, with the addition of a
little parsley. when it has been done
enough to serve, makes another deli
cious breakfast dish.
The most popular chicken liver COM
bination in New York is an omelet of
chicken livers. For this very light
omelet is made as the envelope and the
chicken liver is used for filling.
This, if made by anyone who has
given sufficient study to the subtle
science, is about as much gastronomic
richness as an ordinary uneducated
stomach would care to attack at one
sitting.
Nothing ''queers" chicken livers so
easily as poor pastry; and the same
may truthfully be said of the human
stomach. Surprising the pastry part of
the vol-au-vent to be all right, you
make an espagnole of heavy meat
gravies, with toma to and a suspicion of
garlic. Then, having cooked your liv-
ers in this sauce. you have a dish that
is EXTREMITY hard to beat.
Simple brown sauce and butter-or
what the French call rouX-is a good
medium for cooking livers, if You are
little afraid of overrichness.
To serve them on toast after cooking
in warm. vinous sauce, is a style very
much favored in certain restaurants,
but the brochette and the omelet are
by far the most persistent in popular
favor.
They are also prepared in olive oil,
which is like adding affiuence to opu
lence, and in some places they are
stored up Ike pates de foie gras. and
not few "astronomes have ventured
to hazard the opinion that pate de
foie lie Volatile is really a superior
delicacy to the liver of the pampered
goose.
The livers of very young chickens
are apt TO be mushy. Those about a
year old offer to the teeth just that
amount of resistance which an epicure
prizes i'm his food.
Another dish which will be found
unusually toothsome, made by some
housekeepers down in Maryland. is to
broil chicken livers mediumly. then
hash them and serve them creamed on
toast N. Y. World.
