Drying Herbs.

The good housewife of olden days
madea great point about the drying Of
herbs for culinary purposes; it was a
solemn but pleasant duty that house
keepers Of the present day are apt to
shirk, buying rather the boiled herbs
at twice the price that they would pay
if they dried and bottled the leaves
themselves. It is important that
herbs should be dried when in the
best condition for that purpose. In
May, chervil, elder flowers, fennel,
orange flowers and parsley are fit to
be dried, and the process Of drying is
very simple one. Anyone fortunate
enough to have kitchen garden
planted with herbs would have the
herbs gathered on dry day and
washed Immediately. 1t is then
necessary to have them dried in the
oven, Or over the fire, upon a thin
sheet Of iron or tin. When quite dry,
the leaves should be picked off,
pounded and sifted, and put away in
stoppered bottles distinctly labelled
with the name Of the herbs they con,
tain.

I,nOOrtinc Cuisances.

Australia is overrun with rabbits,
the descendants of hall q dozen i'm
ported from England some years ago.
They have become so numerous that
the agricultural interests OF the coun-
try are seriously threatened. Devices
OF all sorts have been employed in the
effort to get rld OF them, but thus far
without avail Disease germs have
been scattered among them, but this is
dangerous, as the rabbits die, and do
mes!ic animals may devour them. 1t
is matter Of common remark that the
English sparroH has become nvl-
sance. Brought here originally to de-
stroy caterpillars, it is more annoying
and destructive taan the insects it was
supposed to prey upon. The danger
of importing creatures OF thls sort IS
nowhere more aptiy shown than in the
efforts now being made in Massachus-
etts to exterminate the gypsy moth.
This insect was brought to this coun-
try by an entomolosist. BY some &C.
cident number OF them escaped, and
within the past four years half q mill
ion dollars have been expended in try
ing to get rid Of them. It is thought
that some millions may be required
before the gypsy moth is entirely de-
stroyea, If this can be done at all,
which very many persons are strongly
inclined to doubt. Some years ago a
hyacinth, brought from some foreign
country, took root in Florida and
spread to several Of the rivers, which
have become so choked by the growth
of it that navigation is difficult, ano
considerable sums Of money are re-
ouired to keep the channel open. AL
Of which furnishes an excellent reason
for the greatest care in bringing for
eign plants and animals into new 10

Railway Accidents.

The returns Of accidents as reported
by the railway companies Of Great
Britain and Ireland during the year
1895 have been published. It is stated
that accidents to trains caused the
death of eight persons and injury to
$40 persons, as compared with II
deaths and 4s7 persons injured in
1895. OF the passengers by the trains
5 were killed and 38S injured in 1895,
against killed and 300 injured in the
year previous. During the twelve
months there were reported % col
lisions between passenger trains and
40 collisions between passenger trains
and goods trains. The small number
of accidents is to be attributed to the
general prevalence Of what is known
as the "bloek system on English
railways, term used for q well known
system Of signal.

Butter Instead Of Cream.

Instead of butter few tablespoon
fuls of cream is delicious addition to
vegetables. If young, tender peas are
boiled in very little water-cold
water, mind-till this has all evapor-
ated, if salt, pepper, and a dash sof
cream be put to them, and the whole
just boiled up once, the result will be
revelation to those who have eaten
them cooked according to any printed
recipe. Our cooking-school teachers
concur in directing the boiling Of peas
in plenty OF hot water, and draining
when done; this process makes them
about as savory as SO many chips. The
fresh vegetable taste has entirely dis
appeared. String-beans, CT course,
require more water, but it should be
all boiled away,-not drained off at the
last, and then the cream be added, as
to squash, to Lima-beans, or to new
potatoes. These last are another fde-
lightful surprise if scraped, instead Of
pared, boiled, drained, and dished be-
fore pouring over them little cream,
and sprinkling with salt and pepper.
The dish should be set in the warming
oven a few moments only. The farm
ers' wives who, once upon time, were
the "good cooks" Of this. country,
learned the cream method of serving
vegetables. No better way Of cooking
those particular ARTICLES Of food has
ever been discovered, with all the i'm
provements Of |fin-de-siecle scientific
cookery. New York Post.

The case Of burial long delayed
has recently come to light at Revel, a
Russian town near the Gulf of Fin.
land. The body thus tardily inferred
was that Of a Belgian soldier of for.
tune, the Due Charles de Croy, who
had been commander-in-chief of the
Russian army at the historic battle Of
Narva in 1700. Made prisoner during
the nsht, De Croy took up his resi-
dence at Revel, where he died in the
course Of events; his creditors dsmur.

debts were paid. So the soldier was

WHERE AMBER COMES FROM.
ihe supply Nearly Exhausted and tho
Price likely to Rise.

News comes thatthe greatest deposit
OF amber in the world is on the point
OF exhaustion, SO that this substance,
SO largely used in connection with
pipes, is likely to rise greatly in price
before long The deposit in question
is on the Samland peninsula, which
juts out into the Baltic Sea. In that
locality, many thousands Of years ago,
there were great forests Of huge cone.
bearing trees, long since extinct as a
species. From their bark exuded
quantities Of gum, which formed &C.
cumulations about the roots OF the
trees. Though the trees themselves
disappeared the gum was preserved in
fossil shape. How extraordinary was
the amount Of it yielded by the trees,
to be kept over through the ages, may
be judged from the facs that the mines
OF the Samland Peninsula have yielded
during many years past an annual
harvest OF about four hundred thou
sand pounds. The diggings are below
the sea level, and the amber is found
iu small and large Jumps, the biggest
ever discovered weighing thirteen
pounds. Along the shores of the Bal.
tic nodules of the gum are so thickly
scattered that many vessels ore en-
gagged in dredging for them by means
OF chains Of buckets dragged along the
bottom. Much amber is also obtained
by divers.
When the gum was fresh and soft it
was very sticky, like that Of modern
trees Of the pine family. Insects were
caught in it, and thus it comes about
that bugs of numerous species are
found inclosed in the Jumps Of amber.
In the same way fragments Of twigs,
leaves, buds, flowers and even pollen
grains Of plants are embraced in the
substances of the fossil gum There
has been found q piece Of amber that
contains catkin Of an oak tree as dis
tinct and perfect as when it grew.
Likewise the hairs OF animals and the
feathers of birds were caught in the
sticky rosin now and then, and wood
pecker and q squirrel have been ident-
! flied as contributors.
Pieces OF amber which contain in
sects or fragments Of plants bring
fancy prices for mouthpieces Of pipes.
But the finest specimens do not reach
the United States; they go to the East,
where rich Arabs, Turks and Persians
are willing to pay extraordinary prices
for them. The ruby-colored amber is
precious, and the green also is partic-
ularly valuable. The blush and per-
feet yellow are highly appreciated by.
amateurs. In the fourteenth century
amber was made into knives and forks
with one prong, which were used by
princes and church dignitaries, the
gum fetching more than its weight i'll
gold. At present it is worth from s.
to $50 a pound, though exceptionally
large and beautiful pieces bring almost
any price. The mouthpieces for pipes
are made with turning wheel and a
very sharp chisel. The dust and scraps
are melted and supply the "a'nberine''
of commerce.
Just as the catlinite which furnished
the. finest Indian pipes was obtainnble
only from single locality, so the
meerschaum which is recognized as
incomparably the choicest Of materials
for modern pipes is got from one
place and is found nowhere else.-Bos
