EARTHLY pARADlses.

Climatic Perfection.

Portions Of the Earth That Approach
Climatic Perfection.
For an inhabitant Of the north tenn
perate zone the most nearly correct
climate would probably be the island
Of Tasmania. which enjoys warmth
without heat and freshness without
cold. and moreover possesses a climate
so equable that the average tempezH-
ture ranges from a to So degrees, Civ
ing q mean Of about 80. In addition
to this, or possibly in consequence oft,
and the purifying effect Of the sea
breezes. there Is practically no disease
save what the inhabitants are RESPONSE
Bile for. There are many groups Of Is
lands In the South Pacific which fully
deserve the name Of earthly paradise,
hut they have the fault OF being too
much like paradise. The valley Of CASH
mere in northern India and Of Quito
in Ecquador possess climates which
are almost perfect, but they suffer the
disadvantage Of a great distance from
the sea, Australia Is too dry and New
Zealand too damp to approach perfec-
ton; but Tasmania possesses the happy
mean which affords health and comfort
without the danger Of degeneration
which is the penalty Of more luxurious
chimes. OF places near home. the lsle
Of Man probably most nearly fulflls
the conditions Of the question. Al
though so much farther north, It's aver
age temperature Is almost as high and
quite as equable as that Of the Isle Of
Wight but II possesses the additional
advantage Of freedom from the fogs,
which are the greatest disadvantage
Of the shores Of the English channel.

peratures varying from 50 degrees to
90 degrees, as o rule, but some makers
especially in Fnnce-cool them down
to zero, and often they are heated to
100 degrees. Beyond this point 1t Is
dangerous to heat them, as the oil
would be liable to injury, and even the
works might suffer.
Pocket watches are adjusted for tenn
peratures varying from IS degrees to 95
degrees. The process consists in put
ting the watch in close-ftting case,
and placing this in cold room, or
refrigerator with Ice, and leaving II
there for some time, altering the works
so as to make II keep regular time
Then it is very gradually heated, great
care being taken not to let the moisture
in the warm air condense upon 1t.
Next 1t is put in specially con.
structed oven, and heated to 90 or 100
or 100 degrees, the machinery being
again adjusted to go regularly. Chron'
ometers are usually kept week in the
cold chamber, then a week in the hot
and again q week in the cold chamber
After that they are ready to make voy
ages to any port between the equator
and the poles without losing or gaining
a minute.

HOW TO COOK ASPARAGUS.

Asparagus, the queen of vegetables
is new as priced by the physicians for
it's curative virtue as by the epicure
for its incompatible daintiness of
flavor and melting tenderness. Have
a shallow, preferably oblong, saucepan
into which pour boiling water, adding
a lump of coffee sugar, an egg-spoonful
of butter, and a spoonful of sea-
salt. Let the asparagus lie as low as
possible and boil from twenty to
twenty-five minutes. Take out with
tongs or wire spoon and lay upon a
hot wire strainer on the stove, then
place it upon toast in the serving-dish
with appropriate sauces; appropriate.
for many sauces are not at all allie
to the asparagus. Asparagus should
have no dressing of a distinct flavor
except it be sauce Hollandaise Or sauce
cOquette; because the result desired
is to preserve the delicious flavor of
the vegetable over and above all, and
the sauce or dressing must be only a
background to it, as would not be the
case if any of the highly favored sauces
one sees quoted as being proper to as
paragus were served with it.-Demo-
