HOUSEHOLD FOOD TESTS.

A simple method of determining
whether one has purchased butter or
oleomargarine, is to put little OF each
in two small tins, and heat over a
burner The oleomargarine will boil,
while the butter will bubble up and
burn. Good butter has a sweet fresh
odor as it burns.
A test for coffee: When purchasing
coffee. gather little of it in the palm
of the hand, after it has been ground,
and press firmly; if it falls loosely
apart when the hand is opened, the
coffee is unauthorized, but when the
particles adhere, the fact that 1t cakes
denotes the presence OF some substance
other than coffee.
The mother who purchases the candy
she gives to her children can know
whether they are eating pure sweets or
not, by soaking a bit of the candy IN
clear cold water. If there is a sediment
in the bottom of the glass, the presence
of some sort of impurlty or adulteratlon
is indicated. usually terra alba, and
while the adulteration may not be ex-
actly harmful, the child is not taking
pure sweets into the stomach.
Since we are told that it is not the
candy, but the adulteratlon that is III
furious, it is well to have at hand sim
pie means for determining whether one
is eating pure sugar, with harmless
flavoring, or some one or more OF the
many ingenious authorizations winch
are sold under the name OF candy III

4 WORD TO FARM TOlLRRS.
/; The Home Friend of the
; Farmer and His Family.

After the labors and tolls of the summer time,
and harvesting of crops in the early autumn,
many of our farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in condition of
health demanding careful attention if suffering
is to be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in some form; with some the
liver is torpid; there is biliousness, nausea, and
vomiting, with loss of appetite and depression
of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling in
the harvest fields, now feel the twinges of
terrible rheumatism; others run down by
worry, overwork. and irregular dieting, are
tormented with the pangs of dyspepsia.
To the thousands of run down, sickly, and
half dead men and women in farm homes we
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the workers friend, Paine's Celery Compound,
the only medicine that can quickly and fully
restore strength to the weak body and vigor to
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tones
the stomach; it removes poisonous acids from
the blood which cause rheumatism; it feeds
the weak and diseased nerves and banishes
neuralgia tortures; it purifes the blood and
gives true vitality and life. The use of Paine's
Celery Compound in autumn means the estab-
fishing of a perfect physical vigor to withstand
the rigors of severe winter.

hold up their feet and show the ShanhS

young man as he entered the Office
was told to sit down and put his foot
IN on a corner of the desk where it
could be examined Then the head Of
the house put on his glasses and very
carefully scrutinized the shank Of the
shoe.
When all had been put through this
examination ne called the entire force
of clerks into his office and explained
to them why this unusual examination
had been made.

I have had good reasons for believing
that several of the young men before

Ont CT Door rducntio3,

We are glad To- see that out Of door
schools are multiplying. The summer
school IS a late invention. but it fits
itself well to our now social moods and
needs. 1t takes rs out of doors, either
TO leave our books behind or to make
them interpreters Of things. 1t is 4
happy fact that education Is at last
swinging about TO the conviction that
TO fill a mind with facts is not the end
of study, says the Independent. A
school must concern itself not only
with what a boy is getting, but what
he can do with it. so the summer
school takes in application as well as
acquisition and undertakes to show
that there is no branch of study, GER
tainly not one of the modern sciences,
which cannot be directly applied to the
great out of doors. 1t is teaching us
10 make less Of the building and more
of nature. Pupils are catching the
conception that the study of books is
only supplementary to the study OF
objects. Farming is the ideal concep-
ton and country life is the ideal life
because everything on the farm, if
rightly done, is applied science. Lei
rs become an out of doors people.

Not i'm the old world alone is to be

Virgirs two words have kept scholars
pulling for nearly 1000 years In
this United States, which we are wont
TO think so new, there are scores OF
dead cities" Nor are they prehistoric.
Many of them rose, flOurished, declined
and died within the memory of living
men. and most of them the spade OF
the eXcavatOr will never dig up. They
have vanished completely. In this era
are published some rambling notes OF
n score of these dead cities. Naturally
most of them were mining towns, ana
when the mines, producing a crop that
cannot be renewed, were eXhausted
they died. Some of them, such as
hammock and Virginia City, in Mon
tana. were even political capitals.
Now there are fewer than fifty people
in Bannock and fewer than 100 in Viz
ginia City. Then thereUWas Bodle'

had G.O00 people and whose mines had
paid in five years $22,0OOOOO in divi-
dcnds. The mines failed, the town was
deserted. and a few years ago ire
swept the site bare.
But the failure Of mines does not ac-
count for The death of all these dead
towns. Springfield, Kan, was once
large enough to build 4 $4,000 school
house and TO put in waterworks. At
last accounts there were 200 houses
and fewer than 100 people in the town,

KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS.
Why Most Cooks Always stir Their
Batter One Way only.

Batter One Way only.
Take a good lump of fresh butter
and roll it in -four. place it in a lined
saucepan with a half pint Of good, rch
cream. stir it gently over low FIRE, al
ways the same way, till it begins TO
simmer"
This recipe for the making of melted
butter is quoted from an old fashioned
cookery book of a century ago, but the
direction to stir always the same
way" is observed as religiously today
as it was then, and probably will be for
a thousand years to come.
All cooks of all nations stir rot only
the same way, but also from east TO
west. a sure indication that the prac-
tee originated with sun worshipers.
Speaking Of stirring brings to mind
that in most English observation-disclosures
try ones at least-the practice Of the
whole family joining to stir the Christ
mas plum pudding is still in vogue.
There are many peculiar, old fash
sioned supersdtions connected with
cooking.
For instance. in Scotland. when oat-
cakes are being baked it is still Gus
tomary to break off little piece and
throw it into the fire.
At one time, whenever a baking was
made-which was perhaps once a
month onlv-a cake was made with
nine knobs on it. Each Of the company
broke one off, and, throwing it behind
him. said, "This give to thee; preserve
thou my sheep" mentioning the name
of q noXious animal-fOX, wolf or eagle
4 roast pheasant is usually sent NJ
with the tail feathers. This practice Is
q memorial of the days when a pea
cock was skinned before roasting and
when cooked was sewcd into its plum
age again. its beak gilded and so served
Tossing the pancake is another inter
esting food superstition. Formerly the
master of the house was always called
unOn TO toss the ShrOye Tuesday pan
cake. Usually he did it so clumsily
that the contents of the pan found then
way to the floor, when a fine was De
manded by the cook The custom Is
still kept up at Westminster school
where a pancake is tossed over the bal
and scrambled for. The one who Sc
cures it is rewarded with guinea.
The origin of the cross on hot cross
buns is a matter of dispute. There il
little doubt that cakes partly divided
into four quarters were made long be
fore the Christian era. At one time i
was believed that bread baked on Coco
Friday would never grow mOldy, anC
a piece of it grated was kept in every
house, being supposed to be a sover
eign remedy for almost any kind O
ailment to which man is subject.
