The Brazilian Vesper Bell.

In Brazil, all journeys are suspended
at the Ave Maria, that is, the vespers to
the Virgin, which commence after sun
set. Instead of curfew, very simple
and pleasing circumstance announces
this period in the country. A large
beetle, with silver wings, just then issues
forth, and, by the winding of it's small,
but solemn and sonorous horn, proclaims
the hour of prayer. A coincidence 80
striking, and so regular and frequent in
its occurrence as this. was not likely to
escape the honor of religious supersti
ton to account for it. Accordingly, the
inhabitants of that country regard it as
sacred insect, supposing that it is her
aid expressly commissioned by the Vir-
gin to announce the time of her evening
prayer. Hence, it is called the Ave
Maria Beetle. "Oh the hill of Santa
Theresa says modern traveller. II
have heard it often in the evening, hum
ming round the convent, and joining it's

NapOleon's Heart.

A great deal has been said about the
heart as we'll as the head of Napoleon;
but / do not remember to have seen the
following anecdote until quite recently
When Napoleon died at st. Helena. it is
we'll known that his heart was extracted,
with the design of being preserved. The
British physician who had charge of
that wondrous organ. had deposited it
in a silver basin. among water. and re-
tired to rest, leaving two tapers burning
beside it in his chamber. He often con
fesses to his friends. while narrating the
particulars, that he felt nervously anxi-
GUS as the custodian Of such a deposit.
and though he reclined. he did not
sleep. While lying awake. he heard,
during the silence of the night, first
rustling noise. then plunge among the
water in the basin. and the sound of an
object fallingwith a rebound on the floor

HORTICULTURE.

The objection to seeding down an
orchard to grass is that it takes from the
soil the moisture needed by the trees,
and when allowed to grow close to the
trees seems to choke them. Clover does
not have this effect, nor does it usually
make a rank growth under the trees. 1t
rather tends to retain moisture by it's
shade.
An objection to shade trees along the
roadside is that they iniure the adjacent
crops. This injury is done by the roots
rather than by the shade, as the same
soil can not nourish two crops at the
same time. Sever the roots on the field
side by digging a trench. The ground
can then then be successfully cultivated
with almost any crop.
In trimming trees this fall bear in
mind that all wounds made by cutting
limbs an inch or more in diameter
should be covered with paint, grating
wax or shellac varnish. This should be
done at the time. for the processes of de-
cay are prompt and varied.
II the hedge fence is little defective,
run two or three barbed wires through

cal purposes with the added wires. 1t

For Modern Co oking j..

AS a matter of useful information it may be
stated that whenever cooking receipt calls for
a baking powder the Royal" should be used.
The receipt will be found to work better and
surer. and the bread, biscuit, rolls. cakes
dumplings, crusts. puddings, crullers or what
ever made, will be produced sweeter. lighter,
finer favored. more dainty palatable and
wholesome. Besides. the Royal" will go far
Their or have greatet leavening power, and is
therefore more economical than any other pow
der.
Many receipts as published still call for cream
of-tartar and soda. the old-fashioned way of
raising. Modern cooking and expert cooks do
not sanction this old way. In all such receipts
the Royal Baking Powder should be substituted
without fail.
The greatest adopts in the culinary art are
particular to use the Royal only, and the authors
of the most popular cook books and the teach
ers of the successful cooking schools with whom
the best results are imperative, are careful to
impress their readers and pupils with the i'm
pOrtanee of its exclusive employment
The Royal Baking powder is the greatest help
of modern times to perfect cooking. and every
receipt requiring quick-raising ingredients
should embody it.

The Family Log Brook

Perhaps one of the most amusing and
absorbing diversions is the keeping of
family log book = not an egotistical
diary, but big open volume in which
the family doings are recorded-each
member of the family taking. in turn,
the duty of setting down the days
events, and each vying with the other in
making this family history as gay and
pleasant as possible. An endless series
of interests and amusements will arise
from this practice, and the book will
gain infinitely in attraction if it is illus
trated. II some one in the household
is clever with the pencil SO much the
better, but occasionally the crude at
tempts of the unskilled are quite as
amusing as if better done, and in any
event one always has the illustrated pa
pers and magazines to fall back upon.
It will astonish those who have never
tried it to find how completely and
cleverly any story can be illustrated by
clipped pictures. The whole picture
need not be used: horse, man, dog,
a house, or tree may be taken out of
some complete story and made to fit in
as appropriately to the text as if drawn
specially for it.
Let the log-book lie close at hand
with ink and pens always ready; box
of clipped pictures. gum bottle and
scissors always in place, and before long
the family history will be growing into
delightful illustrated story.-Elisabeh
Bisland, in Ladies' Home Journal.
