MAN FROM MEMPHIS.
ais Opinion of Chicago Weather Was
Formed from Seeing n ftadia-
Tor Salesroom.

A stranger III Chicago trudged along
Dearborn street the other day with Il
yellow valse in one hand and Il tattered
ind trasel-worn copy of Il Memphis
paper in the other. At The corner OF
Lake street his gaze wandered to ore
of the big windows in the block, ana
he paused and sidled up to it. Eefore
him was the salesrooln or a steam radi=
ator company, and various styles
shapes ard sizes of radiators were
strewn through the rom at frequent
intervals; there looked to be enough
of them there to heat the Klondike and
a portion of Siberia.
The strangers eyes grew big and
round as he put down his valise, tucked
the paper into his breast pocket and
elasped his hands behind his bottle
green froekcoat. His gaze Travelled
down one vista of radiators and up
another. He tried to count them, and
got lost al $40, because the ones at the
far end began to jump up and down be-
fore his sight-or seemed to. Then he
shook his head slowly and reached for
his valise.
1--WE beard tell that Chicago is cold

went on, "but, dog my cats if | thought

THE FILIPINO MILKMAN.
His Outfit Is Rather Primitive--An
Enterprisinx Australian and His
Lucrative business.

The water buffalo or caribou cow sup
plies the milk used in the Philippine is
lands. An Australian has recently
taken so head of cows from his own
coaptry TO Manila and started dairy
lie has demand for more milk than
he can supply at so cents Mexican {
quart. The First Reserve United States
hospital pays him a milk bill of So, o0t
gold month. These were the first cat
tie, except the water buffalo, even
brought to the Philippines, and the COS,
of tie freight from Australia amounted
to twice the value of the animals in
the British colony.
The water buffalo, besides supplying
the natives with milk is slaughtered
for the meat, but very little is used IN
The Philippines. They are also the
beast OF burden and the family pet. The
children viii climb all over the ANNA
and it is as gentle as a kitten, except
when it is very warm and the dies ar,
Troublesome, when it will take a very
sudden notion to run for the nearest
river or mud pond, burying itself con
pletely and wallowing until coverea
with coat OF black sticky mud, which
serves to keep the flies from torturing
1t so effectively.
No Century begins en- sunday.
There are some curious facts about
our calendar. No century can begin On
Wednesday, Friday or Sunday. The
same calendars can be used every 20
years. October always begins on the
same Gay of the week as January, Aprii
pr July; September rs Deceirbcy. Feb,
quarry. March aud Noyemher begin on
the same days. May, June end August
always begin on different days from
each other, and every other month IN
the year. The first and last days of the
year are sl&ays the same. These rulss
do not apply " leap year, when com
parison is made between days before
and after February 90.

Hard or yon water for vegetable..

Hard or Soft Water for vegetables.
Vegetables are differently affected,
according as they are boiled in hard or
soft water The addition of salt hard
ems water, and a small amount Of soda
softens il. The supply Of water Tor
cooking purposes is usually hard; and
in cooking beans, peas and other legu-
minous vegetables no salt should be
used, as such Vegetables do not boil
tender in hard water A little soda,
of an amount about the size Of pea
to a quart of water, should be added,
and when the vegetables are tender
they should be sailed enough to make
them palatable. Most root vegetables
onions, heets and others-boil taste
less in soft water, and salt must be
added at the beginning of the cooking.
In extracting the juices of meat for
soup, use soft. cold water. In boiling
beef, where it is desirable 10 retain the
juices of the meat, use boiling salted
water Housewife.
