Few animals seem more impassive
than the tortoise, but those who have
ever watched its movements know that
the creature is really very sensitive.
A few drops of rain will send it home
with all speed. Even the distant APP
proach of a shower makes it uneasy.
Hence Gilbert White remarked that his
tortoise showed "as much solicitude
about the rain as a lady dressed in all
her best ATTIRE
The bright light of the sun seems
especially grateful to tortoises. They
rarely stir out at night, and the APP
proach of winter drives them into their
retreats. This physical constituencies
shows their temperament to be less
sluggish than is commonly supposed.
The animal also learns to recognize
persons and remembers those who feed
it, instantly distinguishing them from
strangers.

THE COOKBOOK.

In baking bread it is better to overdo
rather than underdo the work.
To make a good digestible pie crust
use cream instead of lard, and it will
be light and healthful.
If there is not batter enough to fill
the gem pan, put cold water in the
empty space before setting the pan in
the oven.
The rich cheeses. which have the
largest percentage Of fat, are those
which blend well with bread in sand
witches or with macaroni or rice.
For a quick cake beat until thick
four eggs. Add four tablespoonfuls Of
sugar, half cup of flour, little Gin
namon and lemon rind. Beat well and
spread on a baking pan. Bake in quick
oven and cut at once.
Sweet potatoes are much richer twice
cooked. Baked or boiled merely, this
vegetable is good, but when the bak-
ing or boiling is followed by a subse-
quent cooking in the pan or in the
oven they are far better.
A fine cheese pudding is made by
grating five ounces of bread and three
of cheese. Warm two ounces of butter
in a quarter of pint of fresh milk and
mix thoroughly. Add two we'll beaten
eggs, salt and bake half an hour.

Things borrowed.

Along with the habit to pronounce
peoples names correctly, to reply
promptly to notes and the like another
mark of the regard for the rights of
others which indicates inherent refine
ment is the practice of returning bor-
rowed articles. In cities and large
communities there is comparatively
little of the kitchen borrowing that
has come to be proverbial in stories,
but there are few households which
do not find fairly good list of Dor
rowed articles accumulated in the
course of the year, a book from this
friend, an umbrella from that, writ
ten recipe from another, a bit of fancy
work as a model from another, and SO
on. The use which the borrower has
for the loaned articles is temporary. 1t
is therefore purely a selfish laziness
which retains them after such use
from the owner, who may be in posi-
tive and continuous need of the thing

THE CIRCLE CUT OUT.
1t will Not Appear Upon the Ballots
This Year.

One of the measures passed by the
last legislature changed the election
law, the most salient feature being
the removal of the circle from the
top of the ballot The first section of
the new measure provides that the
ballots must be white in color and of
good quality of paper and the names
must be printed thereon in black
ink The ballots in any county must
be uniform in size, and every ballot
must contain the name of every candi-
date whose nomination has been GER
tilted or filed in accordance with the
law, and no other name. The list
of candidates of the several parties
shall be placed in separate columns
on the ballot in such order as the au-
thorities charged with the printing
of the ballots shall decide. The form
set forth in the law is the same as
at present, with the exception that
there is no circle at the head of each
column. 1t is also provided that:
Every ballot must also contain the
name of the party of principles which
the candidates represent, as contain
ed in the certificate of nomination.
Below the name of candidates for
each office there must be left a
blank space large enough to contain
as many names as there are persons
to be elected. There must be mar
gin on each side of at least half an
| inch in width, and reasonable space
between the names printed thereon,
so that the voter may clearly indi-
cate the candidate or candidates for
whom he wishes to cast his ballot"
It is provided further that when
ever the secretary of state has certi-
fed to the county clerk any question
to be submitted to the vote of the peo-
pie, the clerk must print it on the
regular ballot in such form as will
enable the elector to vote upon the
question in the manner provided by
law. The county clerk must also pre-
pare the necessary ballot whenever
any question IS submitted to the
electors, except that as to all ques.
lions submitted to the electors of a
municipal corporation alone, the city
clerk must prepare the necessary bal
lots.
AS to the method of voting, the
new law says: con receipt of this
ballot the elector must forthwith
without leaving the polling place
and within the guarded rail provided
and alone, retire to oen of the places
booths or compartments, if such are
provided, and prepare his ballot. He
shall prepare his ballot by marking
an X before the name of the person Of
persons for whom he intends to vote
in case of ballot containing con
stitutional amendment, or other ques

HOLES IN THE AIR.
Invisible Pitfalls with which Air
ships May Have to Contend.

Invisible Pitfalls with Which Air
ships May Have TO Contend.
Some very terrible accidents may be
expected to befall aerial navigators
should aitships ever become sufficient
~ perfected to make this species of
travel at all common owing to the fact,
well known to all aeronauts, that there
exist in the earth's atmosphere at GER
tain places and under certain condi-
tons verita1le holes or pits of vast
depth. An airship sailing unwittingly
into one of these aerial craters would
sink with far more certainty and far
greater swiftness than would a leaden
ship of the same size and shape in an
ocean of water.
Accidents of this nature have actu-
ally happened to aeronauts in the past,
but of course the ordinary balloon is
not nearly so much affected by the
sudden descent as an airship would be.
Nevertheless, an experience of the kind
is sufficiently disconcerting even to the
stoutest hearts and strongest nerves.
M. Tissandier, ballooning with two
friends above the town of Vincennes,
some years ago, happened on one of
these invisible air holes, which proved
to be over a mile in depth, the balloon
falling that distance with such in
credible rapidity that the earth APP
peared to be rushing up to meet them
with the speed of an express train, and
the bags of ballast thrown out by the
alarmed travellers fell not downward,
as might have been expected, but up
ward. Luckily a denser stratum of air,
answering to the bottom of the pit in
| question, was encountered when they
were few hundred feet from the
ground, and the downward rush of the
balloon was checked as if by contact

If the stain is allowed to remain until
the garment reaches the laundry, the
process of washing will produce an
indelible brown mark, but for a few
cents any writer can guard against
little chlorinated soda will remove
every suspicion of ink stain almost in

rub the soda in and then rinse or wash

ENeLl8HMAN AND TURK.
How the Former Obtained Some Cash
Owed by the Latter,

How the Former Obtained Some Cash
Owed by the Latter.
An Englishman has just had d very
curious experience, says the London
Telegraph. He had lent q Turk some
money, but the man was unable to
pay and on his deathbed laid a par
ticular charge on his wife and chill
dren to meet the debt. The eldest son
was making arrangements according
Iy, but also died, and he, too, begged
as they could.
One day the Englishman received
visit from a member of the family,
who said that there were now four
members of it left, and they were
ready to pay, but one of the daughters
refused to subscribe her share, declar-
ing that the money was never really
lent. The others, however, wished to
settle the matter, and If the English
man would come to the house it would
be arranged. But" the Turk added,
'if you see there is any difficulty just
say that you leave it to be settled in
the next worldv'
Accordingly the Englishman went to
the house at the appointed time and
met the family in the presence of a
mollah, the ladies being behind a
screen. The mollah began by asking
If he had truly lent the money, how
much it was and If he would take any
less. One of the women behind kept
saying it was all fraud. The English
man then declared that he had lent the
money, that he had not asked for it,
that they had told him to come and
get it and if they die not want to pay
it he would leave the matter to be set
tied in the next world.
There was dead silence for a few mo-
ments, and then the women called
their brother, and each paid her share
without a word. 1t seems the prospect
of meeting the father in the other
world without having carried out his
wishes was too serious thing to face.

ton submitted to the vote Of the peo-
pie, by marking an X opposite the
answer to the question or amend
ment submitted.
THE elector may write in the
blank spaces or paste over any other
name the name of any other person
for whom he wishes to vote. No
elector is at liberty to use or bring
into the polling place any official or
sample ballot; the elector must hold
it so the face of the ballot will be
concealed and so the endorsements
stamped thereon may be seen. He
must then vote forthwith and before
leaving the polling place"
Then comes the provision that when
voter cannot read or write, or is
blind, or is physically incapable, he
may call an officer of election to
mark his ballot for him.

Death In Their Work.

elders, photographers and those who
handle the hydro and potassic cyanides
are liable to suffer from chronic poison
ing by hydrocyanic acid. They have
headache, giddiness, noises in the ear,
difficult respiration, pain over the
heart, loss of appetite-in short, show
all the evidences of mild poisoning.
Zinc workers, too, suffer. Zinc is used
as a pigment in calico printing, in dis
coloring glass, in polishing optical
glasses and in making artificial meer-
schaum pipes.
So men die in harness in these and
a hundred other occupations, killed by
the very air they breathe, and other

There are few persons who can tell
offhand just what positions they as
sumo to invite sleep, and yet there is
not an individual in the world who has
not some trick of distributing limbs
and trunk to insure slumber's blissful
spell which he practices unconscious

and immutable under normal condi-
lions as the succession of the seasons.
No sooner are we really off to the land
of nod than the night habit asserts its
dominion. Our hands and arms seek
the same parts of the bed or the same
portions of our bodies upon which they
have nightly rested since infancy. Our
feet and legs stretch at the same an

relaxation, as commanded by uncon-

1t is seldom of our own deliberate
volition that we place our bodies in
position for sleep, as you will find to-

these words. In truth, If you do not
seek to combat the instincts you will
be surprised at the dispositions of the

If you endeavor to sleep by a new ar

An amusing and pathetic story is

''Too Later and represented Fortune
and Glory visiting an artist just as he
had breathed his last. The artist was
lying on the bed. The figure of Death
stood near the door, through which
Fortune, carrying a box of money, and
Glory, bearing laurels, had just en-
tered.
The artist received many letters from
those who had seen the painting. One
was written by a professor of music,
an old man, who expressed in touch
ing words the emotion he had felt at
the sight of the artists work. He
asked Constant to visit and talk to him
about ''Too Later
The invitation was accepted, but as
soon as the old professor saw the artist
he uttered an ejaculation of surprise
and anger. "Why, you are quite q

The ooIoring Qualities of Pepper.

Canaries when fed with cayenne pep
per gradually change their color, pass
ing from yellow to red. Cayenne pep
per contains tinctorial substance, an
Initiative principle and an oil. When
the last two substances are extracted
by sleeping in alcohol, pepper loses its
coloring properties, but an addition of
olive oil restores them. From this fact
the conclusion is drawn that the oily
principle of pepper is the necessary
vehicle of color. Experiments made
with white hens gave similar results.
These hens have also the quality of be-

Got the Fish In.

On the occasion of the opening of
parliament during one of the years
when Pitt was prime minister the
lords and commons were greatly per-
picked by a reference to the goldfish at
Windsor castle which was introduced
into the kings speech and read by Pitt.
1t was not until after both Pitt and
King George were dead that the expla-
nation came out. The prime minister,
it is related, had come to the king at
the palace with the speech from the
throne fully prepared. He found the
king seated at the edge of the basin of
a fountain earnestly regarding his
goldfish sporting about in the water.
Pitt read the speech. Does your maj
esty approve the discourseY asked the
minister. 81 will approve it, but only
on one condition." said the king, "and
that is that you introduce in it some
reference to these fishes" The king
was obdurate and refused his author
ization of the royal speech until Mr..
Pitt had promised faithfully to say
something in it about the royal gold
fishes.
