GARDEN VEGETABLES.
When They Should he Gathered, and How
Cooked

Next to the fruits i've eat, no other
part of our food is more healthful than
the succulent green Vegetables of the
garden. We can notfall have gardens
at our back doors, and the next best
thing is to insure as regular a supply
of fresh vegetables as we can com
mand.
With modern facilities of transporta-
ton, our supply of frSsh green vegeta
bles throughout the entire year is now
assured. Even for people of very linn
tied means, a supplysmay now be had
from March to Deceus Der. In proper
supply of the commsrci vegetables,
we may find relief fsom many of the
disorders which impose suffering and
misery, whose intenaity 20 drug will
permanently relieve and no nostrum
guarantee complete exemption from.
The numerous kitchen garden plants
enable the frugal housewife to serve
as many tempting khes as her rivals
in France and sunnySpain.
All the kitchen kgarden dainties
known to the well-saIpplied city mar
kets of the Atlantic sseabo are cap
able OF greater vaSiety of treatment
than they ordinarily receive in the
average household. If no great diver
sity of cooking should be practiced on
asparagus, caulifioYer, spirach, peas
and Brussels sprouts, more simple
sauces might be made with cream, egg
and salad oil thanlis now made with
butter and -four. Itlis about time that
crude -four In any foSm should cease to
be used for these purposes.
In the selection ofsgarden vegetab BILE
growers of their own stock are always
careful to take such. pease only as are
ready. Nearly all the market pease
one finds are mixed gas to age and size
so hopelessly that they are not at all
enjoyable. Pease reed to be gathered
as they ripen, and bot in the mechan-
zeal routine in which they are usually
taken from the fieldsfor the purpose of
clearing the land s6y the acre in
strictly consecutive order. Here lies
all the difference between the Euro
pean and the American grower.
Another importa4t feature of the
kitchen work is thelpredominaut prac-
tice of having the svater in which the
green stuff is to be cooked at a lower
temperature than b'oiling. and not soft
ening the water Sith little soda to
preserve color
One reason why BRUSSELS sprouts aud
broccoli do not recsive more attention
is because so few PEOPLE know how to
gather and market fhem properly, and
to cook them in water properly pre-
pared. These things need water at
boiling point and softened with soda
as for pease; beanS, carrots and ten
der-leafed cabbage require just as
careful treatment fs the other arti-
cles Whatever of Tenderness and en-
joyment there is I'm fine vegetables
must depend mairsy on the cooking.
1t is the touch of skill which makes,
and its absence destroys all possibility
of enjoyment. -BaS imore American.

THE RYELAND SHEEP.
A breed Whose History Goes Rack Mar
Hundreds of Wears.

A breed whose History Goes Rack Many
Hundreds of Wears.
There Is not another breed of sheep
In England that can trace its history
and origin so far back, or whose value
10 the sheep industry has been so con-
tinuous and sharply defined for so
many centuries as the Ryeland. The
accompanying illustration of a Rye
land eve suggests the origin of the
breed, as there is considerable resem-
blance between her and the Merino
eve. This, with the peculiar character
of the wool, leads, according TO Will
liam Youatt. to the suspicion that the
Ryeland breed may be of foreign ex-
traction. The Merino breed in Spain
was one of those valuable gifts with
which the Romans were accustomed to
propitiate and enrich the people whom
they conquered; they were never sat
isfied until they had effected both the
introduction of sheep and the estab-
lishment of manufactures. IL is a
historical fact that ten years after the
invasion of Britain by the Romans. in
the year rs Il c., the victors estab-
iished a wooden factorY at Winchester,
and such was the character of the fab
rics that they were in great estima-
tion at Rome. 1t Is easy 70 believe that
these fne-wool sheep were already
in the country. but it is possible that
they were benefaction from the eon-
querors 1860 years ago.
1t Is believed by Bishoff that the
Herefordshire sheep, now called the
Ryeland, were the wool bearing sheep
of England that gave such value ard
interest to the wool industry of Eng

land In the year 1343. 1t was recorded
by the earliest writers that the Rye
lands stood at the head of the short
wooded breeds. Mr.. Herbert, who has
studied the subject, is Of the opinion
that the Ryelands extended through
England from the Thames to the Tyne,
and even intimates that the COtSwold
were produced by cross of the Rye
land with some heavy sheep The
counties of Hereford, Shropshire, Sta
fordshire and oxford sheep were only
varieties of the Ryeland breed. 1t was
the work of years. but in the evolu-
tions of the sheep industry. potential
factor in good husbandry, the Ryelands
were gradually forced to give place 70
heavier. earlier-maturing sheep until
conditions were reached that the
heavier sheep could not supplant them.
Until this time they were known as
Hereford sheep; but when they were
confined mainly to the southern p TT
of the country, where it was the Gus
tom to SOW great quantities OF rye, and
to pasture fiochs thereon in the winter
season, they received their significant
name Ryeland. That there were two
breeds of Hereford sheep we are led to
infer from the writings of William
Ellis in I747, for he shows there vas
"a dark-faced sheep that was much
sought for by graziers ana feeders in
Hertfordshire," where he lived and in
other counties which were then re-
garded as feeding sections of England.
Youatt describes the true Rveland as a
small sheep, seldom exceeding more
than fourteen to sixteen pounds 70 the
quarter in the wethers, or than ten to
thirteen in the eve. They have white
faces and are polled, the wool growing
close to and sometimes covering the
eyes. The legs are small and clean,
the bone altogether light, the carcass
sound and compact and peculiarly de-
veloped on the loins and launches. The
Ryeland has that form which at once
bespeaks il to be patient of hunger and
capable of thriving on scanty fare. 1t
scarcely admits of a doubt that old
Ryelands would endure privaticns Of
food better than any other breed. Sir
Joseph Banks, who was well acquaint-
ed with their constitution and habits.
used to say that the Ryelands deserved
a niche in the temple of famine. The
weight of fleece rarely exceeded two
pounds, but 1T possessed a degree of
fineness unequaled by any other Brit
ish breed. 1t was finer than the South
down of one hundred years ago, but
not so fine as the Saxony. The Rye
land mutton was always spoken of as
Of the best quality. The sheep was at
it's best at five or six years old.-Orange

A TEST OF ASPIRATIONS.
Fancied Figures Produced by Ocular De-
fects.

Among the curiosities of thought
which the physician meets with, un-
expected perceptions suddenly appear
ing before the mind with the same
vividness as ordinary perceptions, but
without any accompanying external
excitant, are not uncommon. A per-
son may look at an empty chair and yet
see familiar form seated in that chair,
and may even hear remarks made by
this imaginary figure and not doubt
for moment that the figure is an
actual entity.
/ have seen persons taking with
such imaginary individuals, and have
had them assure me that they were
as sure of their presence and of their
voices as they were of my own.
have seen persons manifest the great
est alarm at the presence of animals
about them, and refuse to believe from
assurance that those animals were not
there.
A young women, having once been
frightened by the sudden presentation
to her of white mouse, has been trou-
bed for years by seeing this mouse
running about her, upon her clothing,
upon anything she is handling, and
even upon her food; and. as a result,
she is in state of constant agitation
and perplexity. though at times con-
vinced that this is the product of her
mind. She washes her hands and her
clothing frequently because she is con-
viuced that this animal has made them
dirty; and she can not divest herself OF
the belief that it is real.
have sometimes been able to con-
vince persons that such fancicd figures
were not real by asking them to push
one eyeball up little with the finger.
This makes all objects about them
seem double, as anyone can prove to
himself, but it does not double the false
image-the product of the mind. The
young womaL just mentioned was
much comforted by this device.-Prof.

it thus for three minutes, and let it

A TRIBUTE PAID.
Omaha Business Men Express Admiration.
for Coy. Hnlcnmh.s Cnurse.

for Gov. HOicOmbs Course.
OMAHA, Neb., July 1.-The Omaha
Commercial club gave at their rooms
Friday night one of the most brilliant
banquets in the history of Omaha
The object of the banquet was two
fold. Ii was first designed to cele-
brate the wonderful prosperity which is
dawning upon this state as a conse-
quence of the bountiful crops which
are assured To the state this year, and
which will be by far the greatest in
the history of Nebraska. On account
of the widespread tales of restitution
in Nebraska which have been known all
over the land il seemed fitting that q
public event should he the medium to
notify the country of the great con-
trast between this and last year, for
there is not now even one county of
the state in which the brightest pros
poets for plenty do not obtain, the
drought section of last year being
especially favored.
The second object of the banquet
was to express the sentiments OF the
business men of Omaha in admira ton
OF the administrative course and acts
of Gov. Silas A. Holcomb. This fact is
of peculiar significance on account Of
the fact that last year the candidacy
of Judge Holcomb was opposed by the
leading business men of Omaha for the
reason that it was feared that his cleo
ton as populistwoul be detrimental
/ to the interests of the state. This
banquet was to show the governor that
his public acts had been such as
TO receive the warm commendation of
the business men Of this city, and that
the credit of the state has not in any
way suffered through his public course.
