At a lecture in New York a popular
cookery teacher hesitated perceptibly
while debating the recipe for her de-
licious lobster Columbus.
Il know l may expect a groan from
the bottom of all your hearts, but real
ly the dish will be twice as fine if you
will only have the courage to add a
penknife's point of powdered asafetida.
It smells horribly, l know, but there is
nothing that gives such afavor to made
dishes.
DO you aver use it on beefsteak, "
asked a pupil.
Indeed l do! And ISM it delicious!
1 never dare to put it into my books,
but when 1 find an audience that can
appreciate it l always give them the
benefit of my experience. You will find
asafetida in my recipe for catsup, for
women are used to putting little messes
into catsup and pickles that they would
never think Of putting into anything
directly for the table. l always give
those other recipes privately to those
who ask for them. Boston Globe.

N D THE MISTLEToe.

drandmamma, in your frame on the wall,
Beautiful maid of the long ago,
Stately and slender, blond and tall,
With the pinched in waist and the foot 60
small,
Prithee tell-for / fain would know
What did you on that Christmastide
When MISREPRESENTATION made you bridei
Handsome and courtly and debonair,
With his powdered cue and his Roman nose,
As richly dark as his bride is fair,
He rests a hand on your straight backed chair
To whisper to you, l suppose
To whisper again as in long ago
When he kissed you under the mistletoe.
Say, beautiful bride in the antique dress;
Say, beautiful bride In your bridal white.
Did you let him gaze on your loveliness
Till lifted eyes did your heart confess
As you led the dance on your wedding night
Did he press your hand as he bent to say
Sweet words-as the lovers do today?
Ali courtly groom of the vanished years.
Beautiful bride of the days long fed,
Dust, but dust are your hopes and fears,
Cold your kisses and dried your tears;
But l hang here, over your head,
A sprig OF such Christmas mistletoe
As you kissed beneath in the long ago.

As to Giants.

There has been no subject concerning
which more lies have been told than
about giants. Until it was found that
modern men could not be squeezed into
the arrnor at the Tower, it was taken
for granted that we had degenerated in
size. This is not only not the case,
but in the matter of giants we have the
advantage of our predecessors. The En-
peror Maximinian indeed was said to
have been 81 feet high, but ancient
mensuration, especially in the case of
an emperor, is not to be trusted; in
deed, from its not having made him
taller, it is certain that there was no
one else nearly SO tall. Orestes, it is
true, we are told, was 10 feet long-aft-
or death, but he was not thought so
highly of when alive; we may reasona-
bly, take 8 feet as his ultimatum.-Lon-
don News.

A Stag Steam Generator.

A Stag steam generator. for utilizing
the waste heat contained in the furnace
Stag for the production of steam for mo-
tive power purposes, has been designed
by an Australian inventor. The ma
chine consists of a steel shell in the
form of a strong egg ended receiver,
having fattened faces on the top and
bottom, and through these flat portions
a number of Galloway tubes arranged
in two rows and tapered from 5 inches
at the top to 10 inches at the bottom
are passed, secured to the shell by
fanges- The lower or larger end of each
tube is closed by means of a cast iron
door manipulated by means of a con
venient lever, and the upper end of each
tube is provided with a funnel for CON
veying the Stag into the tubes, a pair Of
iron rails also passing across the upper
face of the boiler and all the tunnels,
thus serving as a track for the Stag
pots. At each end of the boiler a bin
is provided, into which the skin of the
Stag is dumped, which always sets on
the cast iron pots from which it is pour
ed, and this redhot material lying
against the ends of the boiler plates
serves to conserve the heat.-New York

The Salt In the Sea.

The amount of common salt in all the
oceans is estimated by Schafhautt at
3,051, 342 cubic geographical miles, or
about five times more than the mass of
the Alps, and only one-third less than
that OF the H~imalayas. The sulphate
of soda equals 633, 644.36 cubic miles,
or is equal to the mass of the Alps. The
chloride Of magnesium, AL, 611.80 Gu
bic miles. The lime salts 109, 339. A
cubic miles. He supposes the mean
depth to be about 900 meters, as est
mated by Humboldt. Admitting with
Laplace that the mean depth is from
four to five miles, which is more prob
able, the mass of marine salt will be
more than double the mass of the Hima-
layas. The weight Of water in the oceans
equals 2,494, 800. 600. 600, 600 Of tons,
and the percentage of common salt in
the oceans is 81. Therefore. the amount
of common salt in all the oceans taken
together is about 673, 515, 600, 900, 600
of tons. Were all the salts of the oceans
precipitated and spread out equally ever
the land they would, it has been COM
puted, cover the ground one mile deep
over an area of 1000, 600 square miles,

An English water Witch"

A young man of the name of Rodwell,
in the employ of the Grinton Coal COM
pany in north England, has shown Won
derful powers in his occupation as pro-
fessional "water finder or water
witch" Professor E. R. Lancaster, the
great English scientist, stated very plain
ly in n of the journals that he doubted
the attributed powers of either the
"witch'' or the "divining rod" with
which he is armed in all professional
operations. This evoked the following
from DR.. Mcclure, the chairman Of the
Grinton company: II deny emphatically
that the lad is an imposter! He has been
tested time and again and has never
failed to locate veins of eit&er mineral or
water, depending upon what the search
was being conducted for. The 'divining
rod which he holds only moves in obedi-
ence to the muscular contractions of his
hands and arms, and he can use a rod of
any kind of wood or material, providing
it be what is known as a good conductor
of electricity Another oddly about the
lad, and one of which I have never heard
in connection with water witching,' is
this: The lad habitually walks with his
hands clasped behind him, and as soon
as he steps upon the ground directly over
a mineral or water he is powerless to un-
clasp them until he moves away from
the region of the lode or conduit st.

WHY THE JUROR HELD OUT.
The Extraordinary Secret Impaired to .
Chief Justice In England.

~ btCFct mP0TLeU 70 =
Chief Justice In England.
The most remarkable case of a jury
standing out" against what seemed
irrefutable testimony, and all through
the resolution of one man, occurred be-
fore Chief Justice Dyer many years ago.
He presided at a murder trial in which
everything went against the prisoner,
who ON his part could only say that ON
his going to work in the morning he
had found the murdered man dying and
tried to help him, whereby he had be-
come covered with blood, but when the
man presently died he had come away
and said nothing about it, because he
was known to have had a quarrel with
the deceased and feared he might get
into trouble. The hayfork with which
the man had been murdered had the
prisoners name on it. In other re-
spects his guilt appeared to be clearly
established, and the chief justice was
convinced of it, but the jury returned a
verdict of mot guilty."
This was Chief Justice Dyer's case,
and he put some very searching ques-
tons to the high sheriff. The of
the acquittal, said the official, was un-
doubtedly the foreman, a farmer Of ex-
cellent character, esteemed by all his
neighbors, and very unlikely to be OBJ
stinate or vexatious. "Then," said the
judge, 81 must see this foreman, for an
explanation of the matter l will have"
The foreman came, and after extracting
from his lordship a promise of secrecy
proved at once that the prisoner had
been rightly acquitted, for" said he,
sit was I myself who killed the man."
1t had been no murder, for the other
had attacked him with the hayfork, and
as he showed-severely injured him,
but in the struggle to get possession of
the weapon he had the misfortune to
give the man a fatal wound. He had no
fears as to his being found guilty of
murder, but, the assizes being just
over, his farm and affairs would have
been ruined by a confession. through
lying in Jail so long, so he suffered mat
tiers to take their course. He was hor-
riied to find one of his own servants ac-
cused of the murder. He supported
his wife and children while in Jail;
managed to be placed on the jury and
elected foreman. He added that if he
had failed in this he would certainly
have confessed to his own share in the
business, and the judge believed him.
Every year for Is years the judge
made inquiries as to the foreman's ex S.
tence, and at last, happening to survive
him, he considered himself free to tell
the story.-London News.

Court Martial Witnesses.

All court martial witnesses who are
Professionals are sworn by laying their
right hand, ungloved, on the Bible,
closed, or open, while the oath is re-
cited. Kissing the book is frequently
required in addition to the laying on of
the hand. Raising the right hand and
keeping it raised during the recital Of
the oath is also a form adopted by a
number. There are many who prefer to
affirm rather than to swear, and those
are accommodated by saying: You do
solemnly affirm, instead Of '%'solemnly
swear" the right hand being raised
or placed on the Bible as before. Form
erly it was required to place the right
hand on the open Evangelists.
In swearing Roman Catholics, the
Bible is closed and has marked on the
outer over a cross, generally cut out of
white paper and pasted on. Sometimes
a orucifx is placed upon it, which the
witness, after the oath IS recited, kisses
when there is any suspicion in the mind
of the president of the court martial, OF
in that Of any of its members. The
witness, if a Roman Catholic, after
kissing the cross, is frequently directed
to cross himself.-New York Times.
