Delicious Canned Peaches.

Mrs S. T. Rorer gives her popular
formula for canning peaches in the
August Ladies Home Journal. "Pare
and remove the stones and throw the
peaches into a pan of cold water,
she directs. "Weigh, and to each four
pounds allow pound of sugar and a
quart of water Put the sugar and
water over the fire, boil and skim.
Drain the peaches, put them in the
syrup, bring slowly to boiling point,
then simmer gently until tender, not
soft. Lift each piece carefully, ar
ranging it in the jar, fill quickly with
syrup and fastep at once. Or pare
the peaches and pack them at once
into the jars. Fill each jar with cold
water. Place them in a boiler and
as soon as the water boils around the
jars adjust the rubbers, fill to over
flowing with boiling water and seal
without delay. Pears may be can
ned in the same way. Apples being
more difficult to keep than the other
large fruits, should be cooked at once
in syrup.

WHAT SHE NEGLECTED..


He Was . Student q Human Nature, oD4
He Caught Her.
Albert Bloodgood gazed long and
earnestly into his young wife's eyes. It
was evident that serious doubts had

married to Sylvia BlOodgood for three
days and had thought that he was hap

the saloon of the pluneing steamer. q
horrible thought suddenly forced itself
upon him.
The sweet girl who had given her life
into his keeping noticed that something
was out Of whack with him. and. look

look mt u parent than as a wife contem-
plating the features OF her husband, she
asked:

Color blindness.

The term color blindness implies an
entire absence Of the color sense, and
there are few persons who are in this
condition. but 1t also includes all the
forms Of partial color blindness in
which the perception Of one Of the
fundamental colors red, green and
violet-is wanting, and which nre
known as red blindness, green blind
Dess and violet blindness. The line be-
tween these various kinds of color blind
pess and o perfect perception Of colors
Is not sharply drawn. go that large
number of persons have what is called
O feeble color sense, which falls short
Of actual color blindness. There is no
doubt that color blindness in its vari-
GUS forms Is much more common than
is generally supposed, and it is more
common among the imperfectly than
the we'll educated claaaes, and it is, Gu.
riously enough, still more common
among Jews and Quakers, probably
from hereditary causes. 1t is ten times
more frequent among males than fe-
males In the general population. but
among Quakers it is nearly the same
in both sexes. In the general popula-
tion 4-16 per cent, or about / male in
every 90, are color blind.-New York
Ledger.

The 6caiy Ant Eater.

An animal made of tin plato. Of tha
shape of IN elongated fr cone, about
three feet In length, which crackles and
rustles with every movement, is one OF
the latest acquisitions Of the Geological
society Of London. Its name is the pau
COLIN, or scaly ant eater. and 1t belongs
to the same family group as the arma-
dillo and platypus. It has excited great
attention at the ZOO, for it is--if wo are
correctly informed-the first animal OF
the kind which has been exhibited
there. Its home is where the termites,
or white ants, are found. for the animal
feeds OH these destructive creatures and
possesses claws which are designed to
break down their strongholds. The
claws are also necessary for burrowing
in the ground. for the pangolin exca-
Yates q cave for himself and bis mate
eight feet or 70 below the surface Of
the earth, and in this strange home one
or two young are produced every year.
The pangolin at present at the zoo u
fed upon ants and their eggs. and also
exhibits a partiality for oockroaches
scalded in milk The scales with which
Its body is covered are hard and sharp
as steel, and it can give terribly out
ting blow with its powerful tail. It can
roll its body up into ball like hedge
hog when it so wills. Opinion

PLENTY OF CHALK.


Great Block That Was Once ~ Largo -
the Csntinent Of Europe.
The small piece Of chalk which is In
constant use in the schoolroom, the feo-
ture room. the. billiard room and the
workshop has strange history, the un-
raveling Of which through all its COM
plexities is one Of the most difficult
problems With which the science Of the
present day is called upon to deal. This
piece is in reality chip of an immense
block OF chalk that once filled an area
the size of the continent Of Europe, and
Of which even yet several gigantic frag-
ments remain, each hundreds Of square
miles In extent These patches are scat
tered over the region lying between Ire
land Oh the west and China ON the east
and extend In the other direction from
Sweden in the north to Portugal in the
south.
In the British Isles the chalk Ia found
in greatest perfection and continuity in
the east and southeast Of England. A
sheet Of chalk more than I, 900 feet In
thickness underlies all that portion Of
England which IL situated to the south
east of line crossing the island dag
onally from the North sea ut FlambOr-
ough Head to the coast on the English
channel in Dorset. This enormous sheet
Of chalk Is tilted up slightly on tho
west and its depressM eastern portions
that dip toward the waters of the North
sea are usually buried from sight by
means Of everything sands and clays.
Where the edges of the chalk floor come
upon the sea the cliff scenery is strik-
ingly grand and beautiful Any one
who has once seen the magnificent rocks
CT Marlborough and Beechy Head, the
Jagged stacks Of the Needles or the diz
zy mass of Shakespeare cliff, near Do
yer, can understand why 1.-THE white
cliffs Of Albion" has grown into a stock
phrase.
This massive sheet Of chalk appears
again in France, In many other pats OF
Europe as far east as tho Crimea. and
even in central Asia beyond the sea OF
Aral. How far 1t stretched westward
into what is now the Atlantic may nev-
er be known, but chalk cliffs Of at least
200 feet in thickness are secn ut An
trim, in Ireland, and less ccnspicuou:
formations are found in Scotland. In
Argyll and Aberdeen. There can be lit
tie question that all these now isolated
patches We're once connected IN u con
tinuous sheet, which must, therefore
have occupied superficial area about
5000 miles long by nearly 1000 broad
an extent larger than that of the pres
ent continent Of Europe. - Pittsburt
