Bow to Make Sauerkraut.

For the benefit of those who are
not familiar with the making of sauer-
kraut, we reproduce the following
from the New York ZribHHc Farmer.
"Sauerkraut is cabbage preserved
by fermenting. AT the beginning of
winter or when cold weather has be-
come assured cabbage is cut fine and
placed in barrel or other suitable
vessel. This vessel is filled in this
way: First layer of three or four
inches of cabbage, and on top heavy
sprinkle of salt: then with heavy
rammer the cabbage is well pounded,
to compress the mass. More cabbage
and salt and more stamping SO con-
tinued until the barrel is full. A fer
mentation at once sets up and con-
tlnues for probably two weeks, after
which the kraut may be used. 1t is
prepared for the table by either boil.
ing or frying. 1t has the advantage
over plain boiled cabbage in being
much more digestible, and has also a
peculiarly pleasant flavor. Sauer-
kraut is now to be purchased all over
the United States, at least wherever
there are Germans, and it is common
ly served in city restaurants

CONVERSATIONAL PARROTS.
brazilian Birds Break Out In UninteI-
1igibIe Tongue Immediately
Upon Seeing Each other.

Do parrots understand what they
say? A correspondent writes that a
friend with fine green Brazilian
parrot has been staying with her.
The parrot is a fluent and accom-
plished speaker, says the London
Chronicle. a gray parrot was intro
duced one day, but the Brazilian
haughtily declined to have anything
to say to the gray. Then another
friend, who had just been given a
wly-imported green Brazilian,
brought the newcomer to call. The
moment the parrots caught sight of
each other they broke into a torrent
of apparently articulate language,
consisting, as it seemed, of questions
and answers, but what the language
was no one present could tell. The
owner of the first parrot had never
during the years it had lived with
her heard it speak this strange
tongue. The two parrots talked to
each other without ceasing all the
time they were together, and a few
days later, when they met again, ex-
actly the same thing happened. Was
the first parrot-long exiled from its
native forests-asking eagerly for
news of it's people?

DESTRUCTION OF CITY MAINS.
age and Expense In Metropolis
tan Systems.

Destruction of underground mains
by electrolysis is rapidly nearing a
point at which il ceases to be phe-
nomenon of technical interest to
physicists, says the Electrical Review,
and becomes a commercial fact of
startling magnitude. Water, gas and
steam mains are being destroyed so
rapidly that within a comparatively
brief period renewals and replace
ments on vast scale will become
necessary. Their postponement in
the case of gas mains accounts for
the rapid destruction of asphalt pave
ments in many cities and imposes
grievous burdens upon municipalities
in the effort to maintain good road
ways. The eating off of service pipes
and the erosion of mains accomplish
rapidly what would be brought about
by natural causes much more slow
ly, and explain why the leakage loss
of water in distribution is so enor-
mously great, and why the building of
new reservoirs and the laying of new
lines of mains is constantly necessary
under conditions which seem to show
per capita consumption of five
times as great as the combined use
and waste of any city since ciyiliza-
tion began.

INSURANCE IN SURGERY.
Flnn Adopted by English People of
Moderate Means Whirh seems
to lie Good.

In Er~land people of moderate
means are beginning to insure them
selves against surgical operations.
The plan is that subscribers who pay
an annual fee shall be entitled either
to- free admittance to hospital or
nursing at home and free operation
or to fixed sum paid down to defray
the cost of an operation if one be-
comes necessary. In England, as
here, the cost of surgical repairs to
the human body has become oppres-
slvely great to persons who just man
age to pay their way. People who
are obviously poor get a great deal
of excellent surgical and medical
treatment in hospitals and elsewhere
for nothing, but for the next class
above them n serious illncss--espe-
cially ii it involves an operation--is
almost ruinous, says Harper's Week
ly.
IL would seem as if the time was
near when societies for insurance
against specialists might be profit
ably organized in the larger Amer
lean cities. The specialist has come
to be a very important-indced, an
jndispensable-institution, especially
to families in which there are chill
dren. The Office of the family doc
tor has now become simplifed to the
task of coming in and telling the pa
tient which specialist to go to. 1t
is not that specialists charge too
much, for their honorable services
are above price. 1t is that landlord,
butcher, baker, grocer, milkman, coal
man. dentist and trained nurse do
not leave you money enough to pay
them appropriately. To subscribe a
considerable sum annually and have
all the repairs and desirable improve
ments made in ones family without
further disbursement would be a
comparatively simple way out of a
troublesome predicament.
