Long COOKING.

OF fresh foods the elephants foot
needs cooking the longest time. as it
does not acquire its proper tenderness
and succulence till 1t has been baked
for about thirty-six hours. Next comes
tripe, which requires from ten to If
teen hours of boiling before it becomes
thoroughly digestible. Next come
hams Of good size, which require from
six to seven hours OF roast meats, a
haunch Of venison takes longer than
any other joint-about three and half
hours. OF puddings, the Christmas
pudding comes easily first, as 1t is boil
ed over and over again. Sometimes it
is kept for months or years and under
goes several boilings. The average time
is from six to eight hours. The veg
etable which takes the longest time to
cook is the onion.-London Mail.

On. sheridan,. podse..

1t is re.ated of Richard Brinsley Sher-
fdan, the dramatist and statesman,
that, always in debt, he had among
his creditors the brothers Chalie who
were the partners in a wine firm In
1775. One day when he was giving q
dinner party to some distinguished
people Sheridan sent for one Of the
brothers, told him he was now able to
settle his account and invited him to
the dinner party, asking him to come
before the hour for some private con-
versation. Chalie arrived early, and
he was no sooner in the house than
Sheridan sent of a servant with a note
to the clerk desiring him, as Mr.. Chalie
was favoring him with his company,
to send as soon as possible three dozen
of burgundy, two dozen Of claret and
two dozen Of port, with dozen Of old
hook. The unsuspecting clerk sent the
wine, with which the guests were so
pleased that they asked where 1t came
from. Sheridan, turning toward Chalie
said, II am indebted to my friend here
for all the wine you have tasted and
am always proud to recommend him."
1t was not until the following morning
that Chalie realized the double mean
ing in Sheridan's words. The debt was

The Lonely Lfbrary.

At the English universities the libra
ries are SO little used that they have
become famous as places Of unbroken
solitude. One yarn told to illustrate
this is to the effect that an elderly fel-
low Of Caius college, Cambridge, got
tired Of life and determined to put him
self quietly and unostentati<sxsly out OF
the way, so that the world In general
and Caius college in particular should
know him no more. Being a man with
a great love for his university and a
greater love still for his college, he
made up his mind that no scandal
should be caused by his sudden depar-
ture, so he debated in his mind the
ways and means. His decision was an
inspiration. He bought decent length
Of rope and hanged himself in the col
lege library. But his hopes were DOOM
ed to disappointment. He was discov-
cred year and half later.

THE ART OF BUDDING.
The Season, Necessary Materials and
Details of the Ouerntfou

The Season, Necessary Materials and
Details of the Operation.
The cut quite plainly represents the
details of the operation of budding.
The points may be given In brief as
follows: Budding is performed In the
north from the beginning of July to
the middle Of September, beginning
earlier in the southern states. Stocks
should be at least three-eighths of an
inch in diameter. Eeaves should be
rubbed Off from the base Of the stock
just before budding. On young stock
buds are inserted as low down to the
ground as the budder can work. On
trees Of considerable size the new
growth of high branches is selected.
The north side of the tree Is generally
considered best, as it is shielded from
the sun.
The scions from which the buds are
to be taken are cut from shoots Of the
seasons growth, usually on the outside
of the tree where they have been ex-
posed to sunshine, as they must be
strong and well hardened. The growing
end Of the shoot IL cut of. The leaves
are removed, but part Of the stalk Of
each leaf is left Thus the "stick of
buds" is formed.
In preparing the stock two cuts ara
made, one vertical, about an inch and
a half long. and one horizontal, across
the top Of ,the vertical. At the same
time the bark, If 1t is in the right con-
dition aud the operator is expert, is

''and the average working negro in
this great southland of ours seems to

as criterion. Did you ever see gang

lovely night it was. IL only Louise

in a pretty white frock. She sang

He turned, and his face glowed with
pleasure when he saw Miss Kane was
carrying his flowers. He noted how
happy she looked, but attributed the
fact to the success her pupil had
scored

The Human Neptune.

1t is doubtful if there ever was a
sturdier human Neptune than Captain
Webb, whose memorable exploit In
crossing the English channel will al
ways be remembered. 1t was mere
Ill luck-a fatal chance-which tossed
him against a rock in the Whirlpool
rapids Of the Niagara river and ended
his life. Lord Byron was marvel in
the water. He equaled the feat Of
Leander in propelling himself across
the Hellespont without aid or relief
from any quarter and before him
beamed no beckoning signals, glances
and smiles from an incomparably beau
tiful Hero. But even Byron never
swan across the English channel. AS
the champion Of the silver streak Of

A Courageous Soldier.

Admiral Wilson of the British navy
won his Victoria cross Mt the battle Of
Ell Teb in 1884. There was a gap in the
square, and five or six of the enemy
made vicious rush forward, attempt
ing to get inside. Captain Wilson, who
was present with the naval brigade,
advanced to meet them alone, but his
sword broke in the endeavor to cut one
Of the intruders down. Hereupon the
officer, instead of beating a hasty re-
treat, stood his ground and began
bowling over the enemy with his fists.
Either from the nature of the ground
or, as the record puts it, "the surpris-
ing nature of his attack" Captain VIII
son escaped with a few wounds and
was rescued by the square closing up
round him. Sir Redvers Butler de-
scribed the act as the most courageous
he ever witnessed.

Caterpt11ars and Grubs.
1t is altogether surprising what cater
pillars and grubs can survive and ap-
pear to like it. Some mites live on
strychnine. eating 1t with avidity.
Professor Attfield tried the same fare
on cheese mites, and up to so per cent
of strychnine they lived and thrived as
perhaps only mites can be expected to
do. Over so per cent of poison they
found to be an error of diet and
promptly died. There is sort of cater
pillar which lives on magnesia; one
wonders vaguely whether a perpetual
course of magnesia is not found some
what ting. But, then. the cater
pillar is a being wholly depraved,
which nothing can kill. The grub of
the fur moth particularly is an indis-
criminate feeder, liking wool as readily
as fur and horses hide as well as
either, and will dine heartily on such
poetic fare as butterflies wings. And
1t is destruction personified, taking a
wanton pleasure in cutting of a multi
tude of hairs more than it can possibly
require. and nothing seemingly can kill
It. Turpentine, sea salt, tobacco and
sulphur fumes-these remedies" only
drive 1t away, that is all. as the pas
sengers in Hans Andersen's coach used
a sprig of myrtle to drive away the
fies.-London Globe.

When the bark does not slip freely, it
Is raised by sort Of lifting and push
ing motion with the thin bone scalpel
at the end of the budding knife. Many
builders use the rounding point Of the
blade.
The bud is cut about an inch long
and taken away at the deepest point,
about one-fourth of the diameter Of
the twig. Some growers strongly rec
ommend removing from the bud the
little bit of hard wood that Is thus cut
out with it from the stick.
The bud is inserted at the upper end
Of the long incision on the stock and
pushed gently down to place. If the
upper end Of the bud extends above
the transverse incision, 1t Is cut or to
fit.
The bud is tied Immediately, begin
ming at the lower end, winding up
ward, covering the incisions securely,
but taking care to leave out the foot
stalk and the bud. A string for budding
is cut about a foot long. The lower end
is secured by wrapping over it the Sec
ond time round, and the upper end is
finished with a knot.
Woolen yarn, candle wick, narrow
strips of muslin, Eastwood bark or the
imported raffia may any Of them be
used for tying.

Near side and on Side.

When horses were first hitched to
vehicles the driver never thought Of
riding himself, but walked by the side
Of the road as he held the lines. So as
to have his right hand always ready
he walked on the left side, and conse-
Quently the horse on the left side came
to be known as the near" horse, and
the one on the right side was called the
''off'' horse. In that manner the terms
near horse" and "off horse" became
general and still pertain to horses
hitched as a team.

There never has been a more active
demand for market turkeys than dur
ing the past ten years, and there Is no
reason why this should not increase
very materially in the next few years
as a result of the growth of popula-
ton. The census of 1900 shows that,
with a little over 100000 farms In
the United States, not much over
6,500,000 turkeys were produced.
Among the states Texas is in the lead,
having produced almost 66O.000 tur-
keys. Following Texas come Missouri,
Illinois, Iowa, Ohio and Indiana in the
order named. The state Of Rhode Is
land produced less than 5000 turkeys.

ity as those produced in Rhode Island

intrusion In our snug parlor, one lady
knitting, the other netting, and the
gentlemen winding worsted, when to
our unspeakable surprise mob ap-
peared before the window, a smart
rap was heard at the door, the boys
hallooed and the maid announced Mr..
Grenville. Puss-one of the tame hares
was unfortunately let out Of her box,
SO that the candidate, with all his good
friends at his heels, was refused ad-
mittance at the grand entry and re-
ferred to the back door as the only pos
sible way of approach. In minute
the yard, the kitchen and the parlor
were filed. Mr.. Grenville, advancing
toward me, shook me by the hand with
a degree of cordiality that was ex-
tremely seducing. When the confer
ence ended, Mr.. Grenville squeezed my
hand again, kissed the ladies and with
drew. He kissed likewise the maid in
the kitchen and seemed upon the whole
most loving, kissing, kind hearted
gentleman"
