our experience in feeding this mate

fattening steers. and to cows giving
milk. and In both cases the results
have been very satisfactory. II was
compared with clover hay in both in
stances. The steers made good gains
when receiving vetch hay as the only
dry food, except the grain. Two steers
were fed AZ days on the vetch hay,
and gained 3,07 pounds and 2.0I
pounds respectively, per day Those
fed on clover hay gained ZIG pounds

Apples with Sausage.

Shape the sausage meat into thin,
round pats, as large in circumference as
the apples to be cooked and arrange the
pats in a frying pan. Wipe the apples
and remove their stems and cut then,
in halves crosswise, without removing
the cores. Place the cut side of: each
half upon pat Of sausage, cover the pan
closely and place it on that part of the
stove where its contents will cook with
moderate rapidity. In Is minutes UNI
cover the pan, lift out each piece OF ap-
pie, turn the pat of sausage over and re-
place the apple. Cover the frying pan
once more, and when the apples are
done the .sausages will also have cooked
long enough. Lift out the apples and
sausages together, arrange in an orderly
way on q hot platter and serve. This
dish is very attractive in appearances,
and the acid Of the apples not only i'm
proves The taste Of the sausage, but also
makes it more wholesome. 49, Boston

Aluminium coalns.

n Aluminium coffins are the latest, and
the New York, Pittsburgh and st. Louis
undertakers carry them in stock. They
are made of uniform width, square ends
and vertical sides and ends, such being
the accepted shape of the modern burial
casket. They are finished with heavy
molding around the bottom and at the
upper edge, and with pilasters at the
corners and with a round nodded top.
They are provided with extension
handle bars. Aluminium caskets are
not covered, but finished with a metal
surface FURNISHED. They are lined in
the same manner. The noncorrosivc
qualities of aluminium, as well as thu
lightness Of the caskets, recommend
them. "A six-foot aluminium coffin
weighs but 100 pounds; an oak casket OF.
the same size 100 pounds; cloth casket
with metal lining about IT'S pounds.

1 THE NEW OLYMPIC GAMES.
Purpose Of the Movement and Some Of Its
'#t 5t& Probable Results. ~ Es

Purpose Of the Movement and Some Of Its
' Probable Results. f.s.a
It is the purpose Of the new Olympic
Games to revive the genuine old spirit
Of Olympia, adding to athletics In all ma
tions real elements of life and interest.
It il hoped to stem the tide that has
been setting SO strongly Of late towards
professionalism and turn it back in the
direction Of legitimate amateur sport.
We in America especially need such an
influence. We do our athletics too
much by proxy, hiring men to play
baseball and football for US, while we
sit by in ruinous inaction. Even in our
colleges but. . small fraction Of the
students take more part in athletics
than to pay their subscriptions and at
tend the games. Every one of our out
of-door sports has been debased to the
service Of the professional athlete,
whose object is to develop not a sym
metrical and healthy man, but a distort.
ed animal machine fitted by long train
ing for the performance of this or that
particular feat of skill. Athletic and
gymnastic sports are absolutely essen.
tial to the physical salvation of q race
as tensely strung and nervous as Amer.
leans, but their renewal and popularity
depends on their rescue from the con.
troll of those whose goal is the almighty
dollar and not the simple olive branch
When athletics become trade their in.
auence for good is dead. We in Amer.
lea do not need more hired athletes, but
we do need a general revival of interest
in out-of-door sports, an interest that
shall be personal and universal, without
age limit. The new movement proper
ly managed and adequately supported
cannot fail to have a powerful influence
in this direction.
But the greatest good in this first
meeting of the Olympic Games will &C
crue to Greece herself. It will be O
great rallying time for the people OF
Greater Hellas.
Of her absent children thousands will
flock to Athens. The 9Th of April is the
18th anniversary of Greek indepepd
ence, and the fires of patriotism Will
blaze high in Greek hearts. It will BIZ
no strange thing if the Cretan shall gt
back to his island more than ever in
tent on revolutions; if the Macedonian
Greek with eyes more full Of longing
shall look across the mountains to his
happier Thessalian brothers; if the
Greeks throughout the sultan's realm
shall wait with yet greater impatience
for the time to come when the enslaved
half of Hellas shall be free.-Prof. vii
