Brandied Pineapple,

Branded pineapple does not require
to be cooked and is exceedingly nice to
serve with ice creams, custards or corn
starch buildings. After pcciing the pines
and removing the eyes begin at the stem
end, and with silver fork pick the fruit
from the core. Take self sealing jars and
pack them with tho picked pineapple
and graduated sugar, allowing as much
sugar as you have fruit. Pour very slow
ly over them white brandy until the jars
are filed. Screw. the covers downright
and keep the jars in dark place. II one
does not wish to use so much brandy,
the fruit can be prepared thus: After
picking the pineapples into pieces, for
every pound Of fruit take a pound Of
graduated sugar. Put them in alternate
layers in an open mouth stone jar or
porcelain kettle. Cover and stand in o
cool place over night. In the morning
put the fruit in jars and fill with the
strip, letting the Jars overflow to remove
all the air. Add tablespoonful Of
sherry to every quart jar. Before filling
the jars stand them with the tops down
in hot water; keep the lids and rubbers
also in water. Keep the filled jars in q
dark, cool place.

How Cold Metals Sometimes MIX.

Professor Roberts Austen 8 Giseoy- erles on the subject of the interdiffusi. bility Of metals is most interesting reading The facts have teen to some extent known to savants before the meeting of the Royal society, at which :nore public attention was drawn but on that occasion the results were rande more clear 1t was then shown that solid metals may he made to mix them selves as if the atoms were living erea- tunes.
 Professor Roberts Austen has, in fact discovered pieces af metal engaged iD the very act of mixing themselves up one with the other. Of course the inter- est of this is that the interditYusicn of which we speak has been found to take place when the metals were cold, and, though this property iu metals, to be capable of attaching themselves one to the other when cold, has been talked about before. nothing so clearly proved has hitherto been at the. service of metallurgists and chemists as the facts adduced by Professor Roberts Austen lie shows that when clean surfaces of lead and gold are held together in the absence of air ut q temperature of 40 degrees for four days they unite firmly and can only he separated by a force equal 10 one third of iAe breaking strain of the lead. The professor has also proved that if a plate Of gold ht laid under one of lead about three. tenths of an inch thick III three days gold will have risen and diffused itself to the top of the other metal i'll very appreciable quantity. --Colliery Guar diam

CUBE ROOT MADE EASY.
How Any Bright scholar May Learn to
 Tell U Ohhand.

l
 Tell It 0Hhand.
 To find the cute rect of any given number of figures effhand seems all al most impossible feat. but yet 1t is sim 1 pie enough when one knows how to do it--so simple, indeed, that any bright hoy can learn to do it in few weeks.
 First he must know exactly what a cube is--namely, that it is the result of multiplying ono namber by itself and then multiplying the product by tho original number Thus, multiplied by equals 2, and 2 multiplied hy 3, the original number, produces 27, which consequently is the cube of B The cube root of 27 is the original number, 8, and to find the cube root is the reverse of finding the cube. The would De adept at this art should first study carefully the following figures:
 l2<l%l== eM2>2- 3x3x3= 2 4><4>St# 64 5ss5>s5@125 6>s6>se=2l6 7><7s7=sl48 s><8><s-5l2 9><9>s9472a
 A close study of these figures shows that , multiplied in 3his manner by it. self results ill s, that multiplied by itself has as q final figure, that 3 null. siplied by itself has as final figure that multiplied by itself has as . 1 final figure. and that 4, ). and 9 null l tiplied by themselves have their origi nal figures as finals. Hence the artist knows that any sum given to him the final figure of which is must have } as a cube root; that if the final figure be 3. the cube root must be 3, and so 1 on
 For example, give him the figures f4, 088, aud he can at once tell that I2 is the cuhe root, for the reason that I has 1 IS :; cuEe root. as the cube of is 64. while the cube of is l25, much more than 74, and 0Ss has as cube root
 Or give him moro q lifieult problem, as, fur example. the figures 324, ,369. Then he will see at t glance fhat 324 is more than 26. which is the cube of C but Is less than 3A3, the cute of z Therefore the cube root of these three i figures is 6. In like manner tho final figure of 369 heing 3, Il follows that the 1 cube root of these three figures is 9, and i thus the euhe root of tue six figures has been shown 10 he t0
 Any ono can test this method for himself, and little praeti"e is all taai is needed to make one as deft i'll such jugglery of figures as the best light ming calculator
 Of course skilled arithmetieian could easily frame problems that could not be solved in this offhand fashion. but such difficult tests arc seldom offered by public audiences and as a rule, the artists are easily able to answer all the questions asked of them. New York Herald

4 Boston Man Says the Combination Mag
 Eenust In Death.
 Never eat eggs while you arc an gry," saii A. .. Stewart Of Boston My attention was first ea1lel to this strange fact hy the tragic and sudden death of IA lady acquaintance in Boston several years age, l accepted fer krs. bands lnvitatioa to dine with the:S. Just as we were going i'll to dinner q servant did something that caused the lady to fly into terrible rage She had been irritable from some minor com plaint for several days, ana her bus. band callned her rutllea feelings stuff. cientlY for the dinner to be eaten in good temper. i noticed that she ate an unusually large amount of soft scram. bled eggs Fifteen minutes after we left the dining room she was corpse. She died i'll frightful eonvulsions be. fore the nearest doctor reached the house. The doctor was unable to ascribe the cause. A few months later I was visiting q. brother in Connecticut, and one of his sons died under similar cir cumstanees. Before breakfast one morn- Ing the boy, who was about , years old, had fight with & neighhor's s boy. Before his anger had subsided my nephew was called to breakfast. He ate four soft boiled eggs Had l known as much then as l do now I would have prevented 1t. In less than a half hour after breakfast the boy died with exaot-t ly the same symptoms that were present. when ny friends wife died. This set me to thinking about the matter.
 ''It wasn't long after this befo,E a Ecacon hill friend of mine expired sud. denly after meal The doctors, as usual, were divided in opinion on the cause of death. Some of them conttnd- sd that 1t was heart failure, whatever that is, and otheIs are still holding out that it was apoplexy. Inquiry by me developed the fact that my friend was very angry when ha sat down at table and that he ate fiyeaeggs. With these developments 1 searched no further for the cause of his death. He was angry, he ate eggs, and he died. If these are aot links i'll the chain of cause and ef- feet, the human intellect is incapable of logical thinking ''-St. Louis Republic.

A2n's Excessive Appetite and the Iloay'E
 Capacity for Food.

ksn's Excessive Appetite and the Iso&y4E
 Capacity eor Food.
 To the lay mind nathing seems to au- gur so strongly in favor of robust health as q hearty appetite. Furthermore, ts,ere would seem to be strong con- yietion in the public mind, sanctifed by tradition from time almost imme- morial, that the more man eats tlTe better he is. Tie quantity of fnod that many people aaturally eat is very large as compared with their actual physi- elogical requirements Add to this the many tempting forms in which food is presented sa the palate by our modern oaliEazy arts, the sharpening of the ap- G.v,i6e ny the anteprandial cocktail, the stimulus afforded the appetite by bot tls of good wine, and the result is often the consumption e an amount of food that simply overwhelms the assimila- tive organs. Sneh indulgence, if unre- stricted and habitual, taxes both tho as- similative and the exeretory organs to their highest capacity, especially when coupled with sedentary life. and. mere over, 1t lends an additional impetus to the evils springing from the use of i'm. proper quality of food
 The human elaborating and excretory mechanism was evidently adjusted for ordinary wear and tear to aa average limited period of about 7l years. Uh der 40 per eaut of extra Nol s we must naturally expect impairment or break. down of the mechanism much earlier. p4& tf .,s surprise that so large proportion of our we'll to do people lie from BIi. u : dis. ease, heart failuTe and allied diseases at 30 or 65 who should and under prop. erly regulated lives and habits would, have attained the natural age of 70 or over. Paradexieal though it may seem, such people usually spring from excep. tionally healthy stock and often point with prido to the fact that their ialine. diate ancestors lived to advanced ages of 80 years or more. This paradox, how ever, Is moro apparent than real, for in. vestigation will usually reveal the fact that for tie most part the parents in such cases were people of more simple habifq, such as corresponded with New England life 7; or 100 years ago.
 Tke truth is Chat the well to do man of today lives in faster age thar that of his father ant grandfather. He meets with greater opportunities and possi- bilities and therefore greater stimulus to all his energies. He more easily nc quires pecunisry resources, and in larger amountf. and therefore he pos tesses greater lexuries of domestic life. With these come greater temptations to sxcesS.
