 Not long ago a case arising out of street accident came on for hearing at certain county court.
 An electrlc tramcar had figured in the col- lision, and when one of the witnesses stepped forward he was at once tackled by the face tious young gentleman engaged by the plain tifis.
 What are you?' he began abruptly.
 "An electric conductor" responded the witness.
 ''Indeed!" calculated the lawyer. "A living lightning conductor, 1 suppose?
 For one moment the witness hesitated. Then he boldly tackled the facetious one.
 "Look here, young man" he remarked, m fatherly sort of way. "You may not know it, but there are different kinds of conductors. For instance, I'm one and you re another, and if didn't conduct my car any better than you're conducting your case, l should earn the sack and get it!"

Berlin, April 21.-The gale of Sum- day wrought such havoc on the grounds at Potsdam that full report on the subject has been telegraphed to Emperor William. Many splendid trees, Gssing from the time of Fred erick tE-c Great, were uprooted. The imperial wild park was also serious1 damaged.
 |, The 36-hour snow storm over middle Europe ceased Monday at daylight. The snow is two inches deep in Ber- lin, increasing to a yard deep in the Hartz highlands. Snow lies drcp in east Prussia and Poland, where wires are down and trains delayed. The temperature in most parts of Ger many is barely at freezing point, so that the damage to the fruit crops may not be so serious as at first sup posed. The snow is melting rapidly and the streams are already flooding. The government has issued notices that telegraphic communication with Russia is interrupted and that the lines communicating with Pomeyania, Silesia and eastward of Berlin are al- so down.

A Wonderful Vine.

The great vine at Hampton court palace, which is 134 years old, and the main stem of which measures 4 feet in circumference, is now in full bearing. There are altogether 700 punches of grapes on the vine, and these will shortly be cut for use upon the kings table. In order to rest the vine and allow it to recuperate some of it's strength, the authorities decid- ed this year to reduce the crop from 1900 punches, which it bore last year, to TOO. For this purpose nearly 2,ooo punches were cut off earlier in the year.-Loudon Tit Bits.

Cover custard while cooling and a
thick skin will not form on the top.
Cakes will not stick to their tins
If placed on damp cloth when re-
moved from the oven.
Green vegetables preserve their
color better if they are boiled rapid
ly and left uncovered.
White kid gloves and slippers can
be cleaned with dry pipe clay. Use
stiff brush for the purpose and rub
till the spots disappear.
Very wet boots should be filed
with oats when they are taken off
and allowed to remain till the next
day. The oats will absorb the mois-
ture and keep the original shape of
the boots.
Clean your walls, whether tinted or
papered, with bread which is not less
than day old. Directly the piece
of bread you are using becomes
soiled take clean piece, for rubbing
with dirty bread only rubs in stains
| instead of removing them.
Borax is used in the laundry to
soften the water and thus make
washing easier and quicker than it
would be otherwise. Borax, dissolved
in a little boiling water and added
to the starch, prevents the iron from
sticking and gives fine gloss to
linen.
Don't keep food warm in the oven
for late corners to meals. A better
plan is to put it on a plate or in a
basin, cover it down with tin and
stand it over a saucepan of hot wa
ter. In this manner the food may be
kept hot without being dried mp, as
it is sure to be if put in the oven.
To cook sweet potatoes Mexican
style boil them until tender, peel and
cut in halves lengthwise. Put one
tablespoonful of butter and two of
minced onion into a saucepan and
brown. Add one heaping tablespoon
full each of green and red pepper,
minced, two tablespoonful of tomato
catchup, one of vinegar and tea
spoonful of brown sugar. Stir well
and pour over the potatoes.
Use newspaper for window clean
ing. Fold the paper into a pad wet
it and squeeze out as you would q
sponge. Rub vigorously over the
panes, taking care to have the paper
so wet as to let the water run in
streams down the glass. When you
have well rubbed the glass leave it
for few minutes and then polish it
with dry newspaper. Low-priced
newspapers are best for window
cleaning, as they are not so stiff as
the more expensive papers and the
use of them will not only save the
wear and tear of busters but will
produce better polish than the or
binary method of cleaning.

FOOD FOR THE SICK.
Should Contain All the Elements of
Proper Nutrition and BE
Easily Digestible.

There is no branch of the culinary
art which requires more skill than
that of preparing food for the sick
and feeble. The purpose of food at
all times is to supply material for
repairing the waste which is constant
ly going on in the vital economy; and
hence it ought always to be chosen
with reference to it's nutritive value,
says Good Health. But during ill
ness and convalescence, when the
waste is often much greater and the
vital powers less active, it is of the
utmost Importance that the food
should be of such character as will
supply the proper nutrition. Nor is
this all; an article of food may con-
tain all the elements of nutrition in
such proportions as to render it a
wholesome food for those in health,
and not be proper food for the sick,
for the reason that it's conversion
into blood and tissue lays too great
a tax upon the digestive organs.
Food for the sick should be palatable,
nutritious, and easily assimilated. To
discriminate as to what food will
supply these requisites, one must
possess sc ne knowledge of dietetics
and physiology, as well as of the ma
ture of the illness with which the pa
tient is suffering; and such knowl-
edge ought to be part of the educa-
ti2n of every woman, no matter to
what class of society she belongs.
Hot buttered toast, tea, rich jel-
lies, and other dainties SO commonly
served to the sick, are usually the
very worst articles of diet of which
they could partake. AS srule elab-
crate dishes are not suitable.
Scrupulous neatness and care in all
the minute particulars of the cook
ing and serving of food for invalids
will add much to its palatableness.
The clean napkin on the tray, the
bright silver, and dainty china plate,
with perhaps a sprig of leaves and
flowers beside it, thinly-sliced bread,
toast or cracker, and the light cup
partly filed with hot Cruel are far
more appetizing to the invalid than
coarse ware, thickly-cut bread, and
an OVERLOOKING cup of Cruel, though
the cooking may be just as perfect.
So far as practicable, the wants OF
the patient should be anticipated, and
the meal served surprise.

TREATMENT OF SCOURS.
BY Taking Timely Precautions Com.
siderable Loss Among the,Pfgs
Can Be Avoided.

When. little pigs get the scours, give
a heaped teaspoonful of copperas to
the SOW in her swill and feed little
lighter, says Texas Stock Journal.
After the first day, if it is not cured,
give a second dose the following morn
ing. L have never seen this fail where
given when pigs begin to scour, but
let the scours run on from three days
to week and they will likely be be-
yond control As the pigs get older
provide a place where they can get all
the shelled corn or ear corn they want,
clean out all they leave every morning
and give to older hogs. Give piggy
fresh corn. Sprinkle the floor where
little pigs eat with air-slacked lime oc-
casionally. AS the pigs get a little
older and want swill mix the swill of
clean shorts, a little oil meal, with
sweet milk and water, and add tea
spoonful of limewater for each pig,
which should be increased to table
spoonful as the pigs get older. Feed
this when they get their corn. Be
sure their troughs are kept clean. If
Uney are dcCoSSlDle TO the Ola SOW Gney
will not leave enough to sour. Con-
tinue limewater until the pigs are five
or six months old. Feed nothing sour.
If milk should be the least bit sour or
tainted even, throw it away if you have
no fattening hogs to feed it to. The
pigs will easily get along without milk
for one feed, while the dose of sour
milk might set the pig back for a
month or two. AS to the limewater, 1t
is easily made by putting piece of I'M
Stacked lime in an earthen jar or
wooden pail. Put a chunk about the
size of quart cup in two-gallon jar
and fill it with water. When lime is
AN Stacked and water gets clear, dip
off water and throw first away, refill,
and when this is clear dip off the scum,
when limewater will be ready. Don't
use any tin or iron vessel for limewa-
ter. You can keep filling and using out
of this month before you need to add
any lime. Don't rile it or stir; only

Attention to Land Pays.

The poor field is always the most
neglected, because it will not pro-
duce as much as one that is more
fertile, the farmer preferring to
place his manure on land from which
he can secure more direct and re-
munerative results, the consequence
being that one portion of the farm
becomes capable of producing all
kinds of crops, while the other por-
ton in time is abandoned as unprofit-
able. If such a condition of affairs
compelled the farmer to concentrate
his efforts on small area he would
be profited by the change. but the
cultivation of less land is intended
to improve the whole instead of only
a portion. No piece of land on farm
should be allowed to deteriorate in
fertility, no matter what The system
of cultivation may be, for the con-
centration of the labor and the fer
tilizers on one portion does not pre-
vent the other PORTION from being
improved.
