Russians and sunfiower Seeds.

A French physician, Doctor Mareou,
states that one of the first things which
struck him on his arrival in Russia was
the enormous quantity of sunAower seeds
consumed in that country, says Leslie ;
Weekly The seeds, which are oleaginOus
and have an agreeable taste, are constantly
ehewed by the people. The outer husk is
detached with the teeth and spat out
These husks are seen scattered about on
payements aud garden walks, in cabs, aud
on the floors Of restaurants and private
rooms On days of public festivity the
ground everywhere is covered with them
as thiekly as the streets Of Paris are strewn
with confetti during the carnival. At
every street corner brisk trade is done in
the seeds by old women A striking proof
of this pasSion--for il is nothing less-of
the Russian peasant Is the fact that the
Tsarina could think of nothing that would
be more welcome to the soldiers in Man
churia and she is said to have spent Sl60
in satisfying their craving for sunfower
seeds. As the seeds are very cheap, that
sum represents an enormous consignment.

The Stork.

The stork was held sacred by the ancient
Teutons, and is still piously revered by their
descendants in the Fatherland. In German
ie mythology sacred to Holla or Freyja, the
Goddess of Love, who receives the souls
of the dead in the celestial fountain and
sends them back to the earth as the souls
of children, the stork, the messenger Of
the gods, guides or carries the human
souls to their destination to be reincarnated
in the newborn babes. The heavenly
fountain is called 'quickbourn" German,
''queckborn' }, from quick, - ''alve"
(as the word IS still used in the Biblical
phrase, ''He shall judge the quick and the
dead and "bourn' German, s'born"
or ''brunnen J. There are still ''queck-
brunnen in Germany, from which transi-
tory habitations storks are believed to pro
cure the newborn children's souls. The
qneckbrunnen in Dresden, Saxony, for
instance, was sacred TO Holla before Christ
ian priests dedicated it to =. Mary, aud
the weather vane on the opposite chapel
still represents the stork with baby in its
bill The root meaning Of the word
''stork is doubtful. Interesting Is the
Scandinavian legend, according to which
the bird received its name from flying
around the cross Of the dying Christ crying
"Stryka lStryka' { Strengthen Strength
enr the last time its voice was heard,
for the stork has been voiceless ever since
In heraldry, as the emblem Of piesy and
gratitude, tbs bird is frequent bearing in
coat armor. The name "Adehar or
'.0debar. given to the siork in some
parts of Germany to this day, means
'soulbearer, and rejects the ancient
Teutonie myth.

Household Hints.

All canned fruit should be kept in a
cool, dark place.
Old newspapers are better than cloths to
rub the stove with.
A little sugar put in the cooking tur-
nips improves them wonderfully.
4 stone jar with close cover is a safe
match safe Keep it out of the reach OF
the children.
To brighten the isinglass in a stove, rub
briskly with rag dipped in vinegar and
water.
Gum arabic and gum tragacanth, IN
equal par is, dissolved in hot water, makes
an equal and excellent mucilage, always
handy and ready for use.
When you mop the floors, add to each
pail of warm water two tablespoonful OF
carbolie acid. 1t leaves the wood IN a
sweet and healthy condition.
Mush for frying should not be so thor
oughly cooked as that which is to be eaten
without frying. Pour into deep pan
when cooked sufficiently, and when cool
slice and dip the slices in beaten egg; they
will then fry crisp
A cloth rung out of warm skinned milk
and water is good to clean fly specks from
vanished woodwork or furniture. 1t not
only removes the dirt more easily, but it
makes the varnish look fresher
Carpets well sprinkled with salt and
then wiped with cloth squeezed out of
warm water containing a spoonful of spirits
of turpentine to every quart, will look
bright and new and will not be troubled
with moths.
To preserve the fresh, green color of
vegetables Ike peas and beans, the lid Of
the saucepaa could never be put on while
they a~e cooking, as this will ruin their
color, aal never leave vegetables to stand
in water aftsr they are cooked.
China. as soon as bought, should be
placed 10 aseSsel Of cold water, each piece
being separated from another BY little hay
or toFn-up newspaper, Gradually heat the
water until it becomes nearly boiling; then
let it become cold Remove the china
from the water and wipe This treatment
will render the china much less liable Il
crack than if used before being boiled.
