Those people who are skeptical a "a
the possibility Of setting really good
table on . vegetable diet should ex.
anime the following menu Is described
In the New York Recorder:
In this good, substantial meal meat
IL omitted, vegetables taking their
place, all well cooked, and pure milk ID
one Of the principal ingredients.
Cereals, corn. potatoes, potcheese.
good homemade bread and creamery
butter, with dessert of bread or GUS
tard pudding, forms this interesting
menu. For the first course, oatmeal,
rice or small hominy carefully prepared
Is the main dish, and served with
cream and powdered sugar.
For the piece de resistance. corn pre-
pared with milk. To prepare this dish
to perfection, the corn should be
freshly and carefully picked. and all
tho ears should be full grown and ten
der. After 1t has been stripped Of its
silk. split each row of kernels with u
sharp knife, then cut OF the outer
edge OF the entire ear, after which with
the point Of knife scrape out all that
remains, leaving the dry cob. Cover
with fresh sweet milk and boil for
fifteen minutes. Remove from the fire
and season with butter, pepper and
salt to the taste.
Potatoes can be scalloped, and when
done to a turn form a palatable dish.
Or they can be creamed and appear on
the table in all their snowy whiteness.
Not everyone knows the best way to
scallop potatoes To make the dish all
that is claimed for 1t. cut cold boiled
potatoes into small slices. Fill q pud
ding dish with layers Of these thin
slices, each sprinkled with -four and
with pepper and salt, and
plentifully supplied with bits Of but
ter. When the dish is full pour over
the whole one pint Of thick rich cream.
Dredge the top with -four, cover over
with bits Of butter. Bake in q moder-
ate oven for a full hour. When cooked
the top should be brown, and all be-
meath the top layer rich, creamy, deli.
cious.
The dessert for this milk dinner
should be bread or custard pudding,
which, II rightly made, is excellent in
It's way. Pitchers Of rich milk should
grace each corner Of the table. Pot
cheese made into small balls and rival
Ing even the Neufchatel cheese, with
crackers and cream coffee. Is the
ending Of this palatable meal.

SUBSTITUTE FOR STONE.

D1ildaag Material
The new kind Of building mat,ria1
some time since announced g . pro.
posed substitute for ordinary stone or
brick is now receiving special indorse-
ment on account Of its freedom, under
various and repeated tests, from tho
usual liability to crack or fracture. To
insure this property, with the other e.
sential adaptations, silicic acid is used,
powdered and cleansed from al i'm.
purities; i've to ten per cent. Of this IL
mixed In warm river or rain water.
and this is applied to Stacked or we'll
burnt lime or added to hydraulic lime,
the resulting product being mixed with
sand and small portions Of fiuorspar.
This mixture is.cast into mOlds in vari.
Gus shapes as may be desired, and after
removal the castings are left to dry
from twelve to twenty-four hours. which
brings them to a condition as dry as
atmospheric air. In this state they are
brought into q steam boiler and steam
blown through SO as to drive out all
air, after which the boiler is hermetic-
ally sealed up and steam let In under
q pressure Of ten atmospheres. In this
high-pfessure steam bath the stones re-
main from forty-eight to seventy-two
hours, afterward being submitted to a
bath Of boiling and saturated chloride
of calcium for six to twelve hours, also
under q pressure Of about ten at
m0spheres, in the same boiler, and the
condensed water may be used for the
bath. The stones are allowed to dry
In the open air, or, more quickly, by
circulating steam inside the boiler

CURB AND CONDUIT.

Chicago Scheme for 3urying Electric
Wires at Moderate Cost.
One OF the few corporations in this
country which, having occasion to run
wires through public streets, shows Q
disposition to put those wires under
ground furnishes electric light in Nor
wood Park. a suburb Of Chicago. And
It has decided to make use for this pur-
pose of an invention Of a man named
Sampson, consisting Of a combination
Of curbstone and conduit One advan-
tage of such a plan is that the drive
way may be left entirely to the gas and
water companies, and their pipes may
be entirely disregarded in laying the
conduit. Moreover, it will not prob
ably be necessary to dig SO deep a
trench as otherwise might be the case,
although it is proposed to lay a tile and
gravel drain, connecting with catch
basins and the city sewers, underneath
the conduit.
Blocks four feet in length and having
. cross section such as, is shown here
with are placed about two feet apart at
the edge Of the sidewalk. These blocks
are composed Of concrete, and the
tubes are Of vitrified tiles. Simila,

some other way than simply to get an the

can. He says also that there are men and
women who keep right at work when il
would be better for their health if they
would lay on day or two and have med.
ical attendance. Then again they will now
feel free TO consult the doctor when they
nave slight troubles, VIII ch heretofore theS
