ABOUT THE HOUSE,

When melting glue for use it is
good plan to add little finely pow
dered chalk to it. This will greatly
augment its strength.
II milk boils over onto the stove a
very unpleasant smell is the result.
This may be cured by .sprinkling a lit
tie common salt on the stove.
When flower vases are stained they
should be washed with vinegar mixed
with very hot water, or ammonia may
be used instead Of the vinegar.
A frying pan, however soiled. may
be rendered beautifully bright if it be
cleaned with ammonia. Make strong
solution of ammonia and water and let
the pan soak. in it for several min
utes.
Leather-covered chairs, when dull
and shabby-looking, may be greatly
improved in appearance by being
brushed over with the white of an egg.
Leather portmanteaus and trunks may
also be treated il the same way. Beat
up the white of an egg until it is stiff
froth. Then dip into it a piece Of old
linen or other soft rag and rub the
leather well, but without using too
much force. The article must then be
left until dry. .

Jumping Cocoons.

Very remarkable are the jumping
cocoons,'' recently described by DR..
Sharp in the Entomologist, and found
in South Africa. The cocoon is formed
by the mother insect, and is very hard.
The pupa, when ready to emerge, must
cut it's way out. The front of it's head
has "a sharp chisel edge," and by driv-
ing this against the inside Of the she'll
it gradually makes hole. The violent
motions of the pupa within cause the
cocoon to leap so that one has been
seen to spring out of a small glass
tumbler. ~ f.,. g, ,-.=..s-

States careful attention should be given
the selection Of breeds, says Poultry
Keeper. It should not matter to the
farmer whether some particular breed
may lay a few more eggs during the
year than another, as his object should
be to keep only those that are hardy
and able to stand the cold winters In
making selection, the proper course
to pursue is to visit the yards of those
who have fowls that have given good
results in his section, and in purchas-
ing stock aim to select the most vigor-
Gus. Breeds that have small combs
and which are heavily feathered should
thrive better in winter than will 9TH
ers, but such breeds should have also
been bred for vigor. It is of no ad-
vantage to buy special prize-winners
when the awards have been for special
points in the showroom, but the birds
should be pure bred, however, having
stout limbs, deep breasts and eyes in
dicating health. It is the hen that lays
every week in the year, except when
Matching chicks eor undergoing the
process of moulting, that pays the
most, but such hens can only be had
by careful selection and due considera-
ton given climatic conditions and
proper management.
Milk, Pure or Otherwise-It is a difl.
cult thing to determine by the appear
ance of milk whether it is pure or not.

that a plan is on foot to form a milk

Z FoR the past four days a party of
soldiers have been on march east
ward from Fort Sill, l. T., and back
again. and they are expected 10 arrive
today on their return. On the trip
they carried no food but the "emer-
gency ration" with which the war de-
partlnent is now experimenting, and
which consists Of 10 ounces OF bacon,
10 onces Of hard bread, ounces Of
pea meal or other soup material, and
ounces Of coffee or half An ounce of
tea
Such experiments are necessary in
management OF the army, and il
would also be good thing II they
could be more frequently undertaken
in behalf of common people. twould
also be public benefit If by sclentih,
experiment and yfsearch the people
could be taught what to eat and how tc
eat, and could be taught what article
OF food TO select with reference bott

They Are BsInE Put Ia wide CirculA-
tIon.
The fact that counterfeit silver coins
containing more silver than the gov
ernment's output were being made and
circulated has been confirmed by An
drew Mason, superintendent OF the
United States assay ofhce in this city,
says the New York Herald. Coins Of
the size. shape and general appearances
OF the legal tender dollar have been In
wide and successful circulation in this
country and coins have been received
at the offices of the secret service IN
san Francisco, Chicago and Buffalo,
which were found to be spurious by
their excessive weight and a defective
milling process. The other features OF
the counterfeit coins were well exc
cuted and baffied detection except on
close inspection. The profit in using
even silver in counterfeit coins can be
realized when one considers that sill
yer bullion is worth today 65h cents
an ounce, OF 4SO grains and that a sill
yer dollar contains 4121z grains OF sill
YER The head OF this successful and
clever band OF counterfeiters is be-
lieved to be man who was an under
superintendent OF a silver mine in
Montana, who was well known for his
daring and eleverness. In a San
Francisco saloon one night about two
years ago he declared that a silver
counterfeiter could reap a harvest by
using the genuine metal In chs coins
he turned out. Two men. who Were
known 10 be San Francisco crooks
we're with him. There were two San
Francisco detectives present at the
time and the miner was followed to
Montana, where he disappeared and
has since been lost sight Of. The secret
service agents in Chicago received IN
formation that counterfeit plant was
In operation In Montana and that the
coins were being circulated widely IN
San Francisco. chicago. Buffalo and
New York A man named Schuyler
was arrested in Buffalo In March, 1895
for passing counterfeit coins. He wa
convicted and sentenced 10 a term o
imprisonment A San Francisco crool
was arrested shortly after charged viii
being implicated in the output OF thu
spurious coins. but no evidence coul'
be procured against him and he wa
discharged. Since then the secret-serV
ice detectives OF several cities havl
been looking for the Montana mine
and his two companions.
