proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
. % When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
Scott's Emulsion is simply
a milk Of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
,eFor all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat

THE COOKING OF PEAS.
Particulars of the Process WITH
Which All HOusekeepers Are
Not Familiar.

Although it is generally believed
that the green pea-the unripe fruit
of the Pisum sativum-is less nutri-
tious than the dried, the green vegeta-
BILE is far more highly esteemed as a
delicacy, its fine flavor making 1T
great favorite. Who does not appre-
ciate that rare combination for q
spring dinner-lamb, with mint sauce
and fresh green peas. Young and ten
der green peas are easily digested, as
their gluten or vegetable casein is not
so tough and their particles are more
easily separated. Young peas also
have a higher per cent. of the tissue
forming element than the dried, as the
starch develops in excess to the nitro
gen in process of ripening, says the
Washington Star.
The Romans seem to have been lg-
norant of the use of green peas. which
were cultivated for food by the Greeks,
and grown in very early periods in
both China and India. The varieties
known to use were introduced into
England from the continent about the
eighteenth century. Sugar peas are
variety of peas of which the pods and
seeds are both used. These are very
sweet. and are gathered when the seed
is scarcely developed at all. They are
stewed same as young peas. and when
used at the right period are very tasty.
Marrowfat is late variety of peas,
growing very large, but of very tender
substance.
| Fresh green peas cooked in the usual
way contain from ~ to 16 per cent. OF
carbohydrate. of which considerable
amount is sugar, but they quickly lose
their sweetness after they are gath
cred. and when they are kept for "a
hours or over after they are picked
| teaspoonful or more of sugar added
| to the water in which they are cooked
will. in measure. restore their flavor
and sweetness. Stale. wilted peas may
be partly restored to their pristine
freshness Ii they are thrown into cold
water after shelling and allowed to
remain for an hour before cooking
On the other hand very fresh peas are
better if shelled when ready to cook
them, and Immediately covered with
boiling salted water.
The simplest and best mode of cook
ing fresh green peas is to plain-boi
them in above manner for ten or Il
minutes. and as soon as they are ten
der drain and dish with piece of but
ter. shake salt and pepper over them
This is called a .fAnglaise. la Fran
caise is to cook them with little bull
lion or broth, sugar and roux-
which must-be added sparingly or tn
mixture will be too thick. Peas tina
, have become little old had best b
cooked until they can be presse'
through a colander or coarse sieve an
then made into soup or crequettes o
. rarebit, as they will be more digestlbi
and palatable this way.

BRAINWEEHT AND GREAA
Evidence &dduced That There Re>
Ii a Relation Existing He
tween Them.

Within the last few years the impress
sion has gained ground that the weight
of a mans brain gives little indication
of his mental gifts, says the New 1 ork
Tribune. 1t has been suggested that
there might be some relation between
the thickness of the layer OF gray
matter which is believed to be asso-
ciated with the higher functions, ana
the quality OF the owners work IL
is sometimes conceded that the num-
Der of conyolutions, or small lopeS,
which are revealed by post-mortem eA-
animation NAV also have good deal
of significance. But that weight alone
is important has been questioned. IL
has been pointed out that the BRAINS
of idots are often as heavy as those
of sages and poets.
Dr. Edward \. Spitzka. of this city,
in a recent number of the Philadelphia
Medical Journal, discusses the ques-
ton in an interesting fashion. lie de-
clares that MANY of the brains of I'M
| beetles and criminals that have been
referred To in such comparisons were
unnaturally enlarged by disease. and
| therefore did not prove anything. lie
insists that only healthy brains ought
| to be considered. Again, in num-
Der of instances the brains OF really
| great men had shrunken considerably
| in consequence of wasting sickness IN
| the last wear or two of their lives. ana
did not fit the skull. The marked size
of the cavity. though, would give some
hint of the original size. When prop
er allowance has been made for such
alterations. d.: Spitzka is convinced
| that the testimony is decidedly in Ia
vor of the old doctrine.
Several other influences affect brain
| weight. Stature and build, nationality
and other factors enter into the prob
lem. DR.. Spitzka does not consider
these. though he has deemed IT neces-
sarv to remind his readers of them
He makes up table containing figureS
for 96 well-known men. At the hea"
of the list stands Ivan Turgenieff. the
Russian novelist, whose brain weighed
2.012 grammes. and at the foot r. d.
Gall. anatomist who is credited with
only 1.1gs grammes, though his skull
had a capacity CT 1862 grammes. The
table shows an average of 1,473
grammes, which is from IS to 125 more
than the weight of the average Euro
pean brain;
Carrying his analysis further, the
writer says that the greatest brain
weights on the whole are exhibited by
men devoted to mathematics and other
exact sciences. while natural science
comes next. art. literature and phi
: losophy third, and ..men of action in
politics and military affairs rank
fourth. That classification might be
; considerably altered, however, if the
weight of these mems bodies at the

known, and if the percentage of brain

HERO OF THE SHIPYARD.
One Man Was There Wko Knew What
to De- and He Fearlessly
Did II.

The heroes are not all dead yet, al.
though we may not hear so much of
them in this strenuous age. The Phila-
delphia Telegraph prints the story of
a man who risked his life deliberately
to savesa fellow workman whom he did
not know even by sight. The hero's
name is James Stein. He is foreman
of the riggers in a big shipyard in
Philadelphia. When he was praised for
his courage. he exclaimed: "Pshaw!
What's the use of making so much talk
about it? / did it to save the company
lawsuit The story is as follows:
A boiler weighing "a tons, was about
to be lowered into the hold of a steam
ship in the big shipyard. The crane in
use, which can lift weight of 100 tons
as easily as n college girl lifts a wood
en- dumbbe1f. was swinging its great
arms towards the monster boiler, IS
feet in circumference. Perched on the
top of the boiler was a workman, .
poor Norwegian who speaks little Eng
lish and understands less. His back
was toward the crane. He did not see
it. nor did anyone else until it was
within two feet of him. If the arm
Of the giant crane struck him 1t would
crush him as a hammer would an egg
shell, or brush him off. Twenty feet
below was the ground, strewn with
jagged pieces of iron, to fall on which
meant serious injury. if not death.
The workmen below saw the danger
and shouted. The Norwegian turned
halfway round and saw the crane COM
ing. 1t was death either way, and.
paralyzed with fear, he collapsed.
At this critical moment, when eve
eryone else had lost his head, one man
was there who knew what to do, and
did it. Although he was 20 feet away
when the impending doom over the
man was first seen, he cleared the
space in less than two seconds and
stood amid the jagged IRON
"Jump for your life! It's your only
chance!" be cried, and braced himself
to catch the falling man, while the
crowd held its breath. The two men
came together with an impact so great
that both were picked up unconscious,
but both recovered.
1t was an example of cool grit. clear
judgment and prompt action.

dent, where they had talked over the
geographic work to be done and the
participation which the society should
take in it.
A beautiful home for the society is
now approaching completion in WASH
ington. 1t was built by Mrs. Hubbard.
Prof. Bell and his family, and is a
memorial to Mr.. Hubbard, whose de-
voted labors in behalf of the society
started it on its prosperous career.
While Prof. Bell is much interested
in geographic progress. this branch
Of study has not been included in his
special scientific researches. and it is
his desire that geographic specialist
be placed at the head of the society.
He intends to devote much of his time
to the study of aerial navigation, and
will continue his experiments with the
kite-fying machine he has invented at
his summer home in New England dur
ing the coming months.

A MEAN ADVANTAGE.
John Was Pretty Smart. But When
Clint Came Back ut Him He

John Bruce and Clint Pease were
chums. Their stores adjoined, and
when business was dull the two
young merchants visited back and

customers were few, Clint sat behind
the stove in Johns store. A young
woman came in and John stepped
forward to wait on her, states the
Brooklyn Eagle.

himself when happy way out of his
present difficulty suggested itself to
his quick mind.
