now TO COOK A HUSBAND.
Union Herald.l

A good many husbands are utterly
spoiled by Encouragement. Some
women so about as if their husbands
were bladders, and blow them up.
Others let them freeze by their careless
ness and indifference. Some keep
them in a stew. by irrating ways and
words; others roast them; some keep
them in pickle all their lives. 1t can
not be supposed that any husband will
be tender and good, managed in this
way, but they are really delicious when
properly treated. In selecting your
husband, you should not be guided by
the silvery appearance as in buying
mackerel, nor by the golden tint, as if
wanting salmon. Be sure you select
him yourself, as tastes differ. Do not
go to market for him, as the best is al
ways brought to your door. 1t is far
better to have none, unless you will pa
tiently learn to cook him. A preserv-
ing kettle OF the finest porcelain is best;
but if you have nothing but an earth
enware pipkin. it will do, with care.
See that the linen in which you wash
him is nicely washed and mended, with
the required number of buttons and
things tightly sewed on. Tie him with
cord called comfort, as the one called
duty is apt to be weak. Make a clear,
steady fire of love, neatness aud cheer
fulness, Set him as near this as seems
to agree with him.
If he sputters and fixes, don't be snx-
ious; some husbands do this until they
are quite done Add little sugar in
the form of what confectioners call
kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on
any account. A little spice improves
him, but it must be used with judg-
ment. Do not stick any sharp instru-
ment into him to see if he is becoming
tender. stir him gently, watching the
while lest he lie too fiat and close to the
kettle, and so become useless. You
cannot fail TO know when he is done.
II thus treated you will find him very
relishable. agreeing nicely with you and
the children, and he will keep as long
as you wish, unless you become care
less, and set him in too cold place.
Put this in your scrap book.

A QUEER CALENDAR COMPLICATION.
Thomas Jefferson Was Not Born On April 18Th,
The Day Set For His Birthday Dinners.

There will be many dinners in honor
of Thomas Jefferson, April 18th Yet
he was not born on that day. He was
born on April End, l743, old style, but
owing to the new style of time compu-
tation beginning with the introduction
of the Greeorian Calendar, 1852, at
which time the Equinox had retro
graded eleven days since the Council
of Nice 10 A. ID 325, when the festival
of Easter was established and the equi-
nox occurred on March 81, the dates Of
anniversaries originating prior to Pore
Gregory's Calendar are determined by
adding eleven days. hence Thomas
Jeferson's birthday is properly OBJ
served on April 18th. This interesting
fact is pointed out on pages "a and 80
OF the New York World Almanac a
most interesting statistical book CT over
500 pages. That newspaper offers to
send the volume postage paid for 25c.

fectly dry, and a finger dipped into the
liquid would he withdrawn dry, but
uncomlortably cold. A quantity OF the
air thrown on the floor made a heavy
sound like melted lead The liquid
scattered in all directions, throwing off
a gray vapor and being rapidly consum-
ed. 1t left the floor dry.
Mr.. Tripler said that he had received
letters from scientific men all over the
United States questioning his state
ment in a recent number of McClure's
Magazine, to the effect that he could
produce liquid air with liquid air that
is, with a start of two gallons of the sub
stance lie could go on producing any
quantity of the air for any length of
time. The inventor said that though
this assertion had been questioned by
scientists from Harvard College and
from several other eminent institutions
of learning it was literally true, and
was demonstrated daily in his labOra-
tory. He said that it was strange that
these scientists were not surprised
when, with few gallons of ammonia,
large ice factory was kept in opera
ton. He said that he had actually
made 10 gallons of liquid air in his
liquifer by the use OF about three gal
Ions in his engine, a surplusage that
would go on Indefinitely.
The inventors theory is that liquid air
at 3l2 degrees below zero, being warmed
by contract with the atmosphere,
throws off a vapor or steam which, if
confined, could be made to operate any
engine now operated by steam. He
held up glass of the liquid when he
dismissed his audience to night and
remarked that if the small quantity Of
liquid at 3l2 degrees that he held in his
hand were warmed 100 degree-that is
to 2l2 below zero-it would throw off
force that, If confined, would operate
1.OOO-horse power engine. The inven
tor said that he proposed not only to
utilize liquid air in place of the water
now used in boilers, but that he pro-
posed to heat the air with The natural
atmosphere, thus operating engines
without water or fuel.

l04 counties.
WHEAT.
The absence OF growing weather dur
ing the month of March has left the
solution OF the fate of the late wheat
to the future. The condition of early
wheat is still reported excellent, and
in a few counties, where the major por-
ton of the crop was sOwn early, the
prospect for full average crop is good.
A number of correspondents report
that the acreage will surely be reduced
by blowing up and sowing to other
crops. We would advise that ample
time be given for development before
reEorting to this measure. All vegeta-
ton is fully one month late, and the
prospect should be judged accordingly.
The condition April LIST averages a
as compared with normal years, loss
of three points since March LIST. The
average condition on this date for the
past three years has been as follows ;
1898, 1Ol; 1897, "a; 1896, 90.
The western section shows the low
est average condition, 60 In the cen
trail section the average condition is
10; in the eastern the condition is IS.
The condition in the western section
has suffered loss of point since
March LIST; the central loss of points
and the eastern a loss of points.
OTHER CROPS.
Dat sowing is hardly begun in a ma
joritity of the counties, and for this sea-
sou no attempt is made at an estimate
of the acreage. A few counties report
about one-half of the acreage sOwn in
the mud. The burning and sowing o.
tobacco plant beds is likewise much
delayed. Very few growers have
plants above ground at this date. Clio
yer has wintered fairly well, portion
of the old clover only being frozen out
Pastures have made no growth worth
naming up to the present.
SHEEP AND LAMBS.
r The number of spring lambs, com
pared with the number in 1898, is s.
per cent, the loss being probably the
heaviest ever sustained. The absence
OF the usual amount Of grazing at thi
season causes further loss in condi
ton. The character of the winter ha
been opposed to thrifty condition q
sheep, and the loss Of old has beef
correspondingly heavy. The loss iron
ravages of dogs is slight, averaging
little less than per cent.
FRUIT PROSPECTS.
Owing to the backward season tn
development of fruit buds is not sufIi
GENTLY advanced to judge accuratel
the fruit prospects. There appears I
be no doubt that the peach crop will b
a total failure Many of the peac
trees also are dead. The heavy rain
and continued cloudy weather nav
been exactly suited to enable both fru
and forest trees to recover from Ia
effects of the terrible freeze during tn
month of February. The condition
fruits, as far as present development
show, averages as follows: Apples, s.
