TO THE BISHOPS TASTE.
Nutmeg That Wasn't Nutmeg Pleased
His Prelate Just as Well
Nutmeg.

The late Bishop Green on one of his
diocesan Vlsltatlons stopped with an old
friend at Sewanee, Tenn, relates Lippin-
. colts Magazine.
At the early supper of the south, al
ways a most informal meal, the bishop
said he would have nothing but dish of
bonny -clabDer, little nutmeg sprinkled
over.
There amt bit of nutmeg in the
house. exclaimed the maid when the re-
quest was repeated to her.
Dear me, said the hostess, soto yoce:

her to lend me nutmeg"
Mrs. Darlington also was "out" of nut

side, we can't all be out at once; then

The hostess kept up a rapid fire of
bright talk to cover the hiatus in the
service until the maid appeared with the
desired dish
What an addition is the little sprinkle
of nutmeg. said the bishop; what fine
relish it gives"
When the good guest had retired the
mistress said to the maid:

turn the nutmeg to Mrs. Harding and

JUST FROGS.
Some Suggestive Remarks on an In
dustry Which Farmers Have
Neglected.

It seems as if there ought to be a
good opening for young man with
gumption, patience, and half acre or
SO of swamp land, raising frogs for
the city markets. Several years age
we printed an article on this very
subject, with directions for preparing
ponds, guarding against fish, snakes
birds, etc., and urging some of our
readers to try it.
We can not find, however, that any
one has done so. To the best of our
knowledge, all the thousands of pairs
of hind legs consumed by epicures
are from wild stock, caught in the
marshes and streams. The result is
that the water supply never equals
the demand, and prices vary widely
between winter and summer. A man
with a steady source Of supply, from
which he could draw most heavily
when prices are high, ought to do
profitable BUSINESS. Dealers in frogs
say they would be only too glad to
learn of frog farms" that would ship
regularly to them, as they are always
unable to meet the demand.
Like all new enterprises, it would
be necessary to begin in small way,
and TO go slowly at first. There would
be lots to learn about care and feed
ing, as well as the habits of the live
ly creatures, but there seems little
doubt that the business could be es-
tablished on firm basis.
The frogs could be bred for size and
flavor, just as they are in France,
where the industry is an old one. Per-
haps. says the Farm Journal, In time
we shall even hear of bench shows,

All women work; some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the .never-ceasing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature OF
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, ovarian
troubles, liberation, falling and dis
placements of the womb, leucorrhea,
or perhaps irregularity or suppression
of monthly periods" causing back.
ache, nervousness, irritability and
lassitude.
Women who stand on their feet all
day are more susceptible to these
troubles than others.
They especially require an invigorat
ing, sustaining medicine, which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day, to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is SC
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due t.
some arrangement of the female or

Donnd Succeeds Where others Fail

These two facts make it impossible for
a 17.6 C. m. milk pipette, which deliv-
ets 18 grams of milk, to measure out
this weight of cream into test bottles,
in order to determine accurately the
percentage of fat in different samples
of cream. The last legislature passed
a law making weighing of cream sam
pies obligatory in this state, wherever
payments of cream are made on basis
of the fat content of the cream.
Manufacturers have been placing
cream-te test bottles on the market for a
number of years. They are made of
the same length as the milk-test bot
ties, and while the bulbs of the two
bottles are about the same size, the
neck of the cream bottle is much larg-
er in diameter. This gives an oppor-
tunity for testing as much as 80 per
cent fat in the cream-test bottles when
Is grams of cream is used. For some
unknown reason the manufacturers
have been gradually increasing the
diameter of the neck, thus contracting
the length of the scale on the cream
entire graduation, from to 80 per
cent. occupies space of only two
inches in length. This brings the lines
of the scale very closely together, so
that the graduations which represent
One-half per cent. of fat are not much
farther apart than the width of an or
binary lead pencil mark. With such
fac hot Sc, oil
read a test accurately to much less
than one per cent. fat.
Realizing the difficulty thus intro
duced, a cream-test bottle made of the
dimensions shown in the diagram has
been suggested by harrington. This
bottle is of the same length as milk
test bottle, but in order to give it a
longer neck than cream-test bottles
usually have, the capacity of the bulb
has been reduced to As C. cup to the
zero mark of the scale, instead of SIS c.
c.. which is the capacity of the bulb of
the old cream-test bottles. This size
of bottle is amply large for mixing
the cream and acid before whirling the
test bottles in the centrifuge. The
necks of many cream-test bottles on
the market are only about three inches
long, while those of the new cream bot
tie are at least four inches long. The
graduations of the neck on this bot
tie are so far apart that it is easy to
read one-fourth per cent. fat The
scale representing one per cent. on the
new cream-test bottle is as long as
that of two per cent in the old bot

New Design Which Will Make the

The increased interest in cream test
ing during the past two years has
brought out several new cream-test
bottles, says Prof. F. w. VOL, of the

largely caused by the extensive use of

cream instead of milk to the cream
