Tor sosAe time past Messrs. Yarrow
& Co. Of Poplar, have been making
practical trials TO ascertain the effect Ct
feeding the Yarrow boiler WITH salt
waser. As is well known, this boile-
is Of the small-tube type, having tuoes
about l ! inches in diameter, as COM
pared to the 4l-inch or fge-inch tables
Of the Belleville and similar types. 1t
has always been considered that the
small tables would be quickly stopped
up in case salt water should gain ac-
cess to them, through leaky &C n
deaser or ether contingencies. It
would appear that Messrs. Yerrow's
experiments tend to dispro7s this
theory The trials have been made
with a torpedo boat fitted vita Var
row boiler having tnbes oas ineh in
diameter. The vessel YVES steamed off
the month of the Thames for FIVE coz
secutive days fo- eight TO ten hours a
day. Sea water only was used for
feeding the 5ciier. The boiler was
continuously blown off, the adjust
ment being such as to maintain Che
water in the boiler at density of
3-32d, !. e., three times the density of
sea water. The diff ulty anticipated
in using salt water was not only from
incrustation CT tubes, but frcm prim-
ing; it was found, however, that the
vessel could be run at three-quarter
speed without any difficulty from this
cause. The boiler has been opened
up after each trial, and has been found
to be in excellent condition. Indus

Mayonnaise dressing is made by
Miss Colling, the well-known teacher
of cookery. as follows:
Put the yolks of two eggs into a
cold soup plate, beat or stir moment
with silver or wooden fork, then add
half a teaspoonful of salt, a dash ofcay-
enne, aud, If you like it, half a tea
spoonful of mustard Work these
well together, then add, a few drops
at a time, from half to pint of olive
oil, stirring rapidly and steadily all
the time Stir only one way, as re-
versing the motion may cause it to
curdle. While adding the oil add also,
occasionally, few drops of lemon
juice or vinegar. If too thick when
finished, add vinegar or lemon juice
until it attains the consistency you de-
sire. The more oil you use the thick
err the dressing. If the dressing
should curdle, begin again with one
or two more yolks in another plate, and
after stirring well add one teaspoonful
at a time of the curdled mayonnaise,
and when all has been stirred in con
tinue adding oil as before until the de-
sired amount is obtained. Everything
used in making the mayonnaise dress
ing, dish included, should be ice cold,
especially in hot weather.

In front of a window where worked
last summer was butternut tree. A
humming-bird built her nest on limb
that grew near the window, and we
had an opportunity to watch her closely
In fact, we could look right into the
nest. One day when there was a
heavy shower coming up we thought
we would see if she covered her voung
during the rain. Well, when the first
drops fell she came and took in her
bill one of two or three large leaves
growing close by and laid this leaf over
the nest so as to completely cover it ;
then she flew away. On examining
the leaf we found hole in it. and in
the side of the nest was small stick
that The leaf was fastened to, or hooke l
upon. After the storm was over the
old bird came back and unlocked the
leaf, and the nest was perfectly dry.

What novelty it would have seemed
for modern doctor to have been d
physician to King Solomon and boxed
after the health OF his thousand wives.
And not q whit less novel is the stua-
ton OF DIR. William S. Vanneman. born
and reared near Salem, n. j., ana edu-
Gated at Princeton and the University
Of Pennsylvania. who is court physi-
clan to the shah Of Persia, having I'M
der his care the shahs COO wives and
servants. And If one of the f1gorite
wives should die through the Doctors
negligence-well, the consequence is
not pleasing to contemplate.
DR.. Vanneman was born thlrtgthrec
years ago on a farm near Salem. DR..
Nanneman went to Persia as a mission
airy under the direction of the Presby-
terrain board Of missions. When the
cholera ragged in Persia DR.. Vanneman
rendered valuable service. This ser
vice brought him under the notice of
some of the highest officials in the Tur-
klsh empire. During the summer time
the court officials and their harems
pass their time at Tabriz. Here, In
1895, DIR. Nanneman made the aequain-
lance of the shah's youngest son, and
on several occasions attended the
prince and the members Of his harem.
His skin quickly made the prince his
friend, and when the latter's father
was murdered by fanatic last May.
DIR. Nannenan was one of the first to
extend sympathy. At the time the
prince was named to succeed his broth
err as shah. instead of an elder brother,
the new ruler sent for the American
and offered him the position Of court
physician.
On August 10 last DR. Vanneman and
his wife set ont for Tabriz, accompany
ing the shah's harem to Teheran. Thu
caravan consisted of twenty carriage
the majority of the few in the land, and
500 horses laden with men, women and
children and baggage. The journey
was expected to take three weeks, the
caravan travelling from twenty-five to
thirty miles daily. DIR. Vanneman and
his wife occupied one of the carriages,
and they had three tents for camping
at night In addition to furnishing the
physician with retinue of servants.
the shah gave him $500 to buy food
along the route. A native Persian ac-
companied the caravan as assistant

At Cheltenham, England, there lives
retired Admiral and his wife, who
have fsvorite monkey. One day re-
Gently the lady, hearing a strange
noise in the dining-room, looked in to
see what it was. The sight which met
her eyes was ludioTous one. Seated
in the armchair, with the Admirals
smoking cap on his head, and the
Admiral's spectacles on his nose, was
the monkey, and in his hand was the
open newspaper, which he shook aud
patted, while he jabbered and gestic-
ulated with great emphasis at the cat,
which lay blinking on the hearth rug.
1t was a clever and carefully studied
imitation of the testy old Admiral's
tone and manner when reading to his
wife some passages from the news
paper which excited his wrath or in
dignation.

Boiled rice - the substitute for bresl
in Eastern countries - is cooked to
perfection in the following way The
grains are washed again and again,
until perfectly free from all the starchy
matter clinging to them. Water is
then heated TO boiling point and
kept in a perpetually bubbling condi-
ton, and the grains are then carefully
drol pod in and kept in a constant
state of action by the volcano-like
bubbling of the boiling water, which
keeps them well astir. When single
grain can be crushed between the fin
gers the rice is done, aud is then taken
off the fire and drained, being ready
for consumption. A little lemon added
while boiling blanches the rice beauti-
fully, and dish of it thus prepared
is delicious Each grain lies apart,
aud is of snowy Wilderness, and its
taste so pure that to add favoring of
any kind would be pity.

After all the teachings of ou,
statesmen, both dead and living
after all the years of waiting and
suffering from the Ubiquitous re-
publican doctrine CT protection, is
it not the very irony of fate that
there should now be member of
the United States Senate accreGit-
ed to South Carolina teaching and
voting for protection? It IL none
the less strange that this Senator
should hold his seat by appoint
ment by a governor recently elect
ed by the people of this State and
elected from that class of our peo-
pie upon whom this burden has
rested most heavily.
1t is useless for Senator McLau-
rim to talk about his democracy
after espousing the most abomina-
BILE and hated of all republican
doctrines. The late war effectually
sbelved the good old democratic
doctrine of States rights, and
about all there is left in the plat
form, besides the monetary ques-
lion, is the power to tax the people,
and all economical administration,
