Peculiar Architecture.

Not far from Bradford, in Yorks,
gentleman has a summer dwelling,
the whole OF the outside of which con-
sists of buttons fastened on boarding
or cement, and there are said to be
about 1000 900 of such buttons, with
about 10000 of them of different kinds,
says London Answers. AT one time
not very long ago, there was on the
Lancashire coast, near Lytham, cot
tage and boathouse that was made al
most entirely from the remains OF a
score or SO of whales that had been
driven ashore some years before. Inc
framework of the edifice consisted
wholly of whalebone, and the dried
SKINS OF the huge creatures were neat
~ and strongly fastened as covering
Tor walls and roof. There is another
building of exactly the same kind at
Feterhead, in Scotland, and in this
case the Skulls of the whales and some
OF the heavier bones are used with
great effect as outside ornaments.

engine boiler and gigantic pan, once

American-chil,ed Iron Forts.

Prof. r. H. Thurston of Cornell uni
Iersity calls attention to the fact that
since the Spanish war, the manufac-
ture of chilled iron turrets for coast
defense has been established in ~this
country. He regards the chilling" of
the surface of cast iron so as to give
It a hardness exceeding that of tool
steel as lone of the most remarkable
scientific achievements of the time.t'
The chilling of cast iron for car wheels
has long been practiced almost exclu-
sively in this country, but although it
is at bottom an American invention,
the use of the process for making tur-
rets for coast defense has hitherto
been developed only in Europe. Prof.
Thurston remarks that American iron

Cooking Onion.


There are many ways of preparing
onions, and one of the best known
ways is plain boiled" If the water
be changed once or twice while cook
ing, they will be more delicate, and
they must be thoroughly tender all
through. Be sure to drain well, sea-
son with salt and pepper and add plen-
ty of sweet butter.
AS change a cream sauce may be
poured over them just before serving,
but one would tire of this method if
repeated too often. Or, after being
boiled until tender, they may be put
into a buttered baking dish, busted
with salt and pepper, teaspoonful
of butter in the center of each onion,
covered with bread crumbs and, baked
slowly one hour. They may then be
served plain or with cream sauce.
The large Spanish onion is particu-
larly nice for slicing raw, and if served
with a little oil and vinegar, makes
a good salad. Onions are indispen-
sable as a seasoning for soups, and
in many cases if they are sliced and
fried brown in little butter before
adding them to the soup stock, the fla
vor is greatly improved.

Enhancing the Dignity of Words.

MI. 3. ID. Preston, of the coast and
geodetic survey, who has recently stud
led the language of Hawaii, calls at
tentlo to remarkable popularity in
which that language shows sharp
contrast to others. Usually when a
foreign word is adopted into a Ian
guage it is debased in it's meaning.
Thus, Saloon" meaning drinking
place, comes from the French salon, a
parlor, and the Spanish word hablar,
to talk. is transformed by the French
into word signifying babbler and a
liar. Many similar examples are found
in European languages. But in Hawaii
the opposite rule prevails, and words
that have been adapted from the
tongues of white men have been ele-
waited in meaning and designate bet
ter things than they did in their orig
inal language.

Mahogany Brings Big PRICES.

At recent auction sale at Liver
pool two logs of African mahogany
were sold for the unprecedented
amount of G1,536. These logs formed
one tree, and were bought for the
purpose of being cut into veneers for
the decoration of the palatial resi-
dences of some of the merchant princes
OF the United States of America. The
Veneers are used in the place of wall
papers. The prices realized for the
two logs were, respectively, los Sd and
rs Sd per superficial foot, which is a
record for African mahogany logs in
the rough state as imported. Dundee
