one and half pounds of sharp cooking
apples. Put them in an enamelled
saucepan with half cupful of water,
two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and the
grated rind of one lemon. Stew till
soft, and then beat well with an egg
whisk. Whip up half a pint of thick
cream till stiff and stir in.
Currant Tea Cake-Bake this in
sheets and use as hot bread. or as a
dessert with sugar and hot cream; or,
if preferred, handy sauce. Sift two
cups of flour with two-thirds of a cup
of sugar, one heaping teaspoonful of
baking powder and a pinch of salt.
Mix with one cup of sweet milk, add
one beaten egg, a tablespoonful of
melted butter, and one large cup of
currants previously steamed or SIM
mered for few minutes.
Cream of Corn Soup-Score six ears
of corn down the centre; press out all
the fieshy portions, leaving the husk
on the cob. Put a pint of milk over
the fire in a double boiler; add one
tablespoonful of butter and one of
-four rubbed together, and stir until
the milk is smooth and hot; then add
the corn, level teaspoonful of salt,
a dash of pepper and cook ten minutes.
This can be made just as delicious
with a good brand of canned corn.
Tomato Bouillon-Use one can of
tomatoes, add pint of water, slice
of onion. bay leaf, little celery
seed and boil rapidly ten minutes.
Press through a colander as much of
the flesh as possible. Add the beaten
whites of two eggs, boil for five min
utes and strain through cheese cloth.
Reheat the bouillon, add a cup of
whipped cream and serve at once with
strips of toasted bread. If one pre-
fers, twelve ripe tomatoes may be used
instead of the canned article.

EYES OF SHINING MOSS
Curious Organs Possessed by Phospn
Ascent Plant

Curious Organs Possessed by Phospnor-
escent Plant.
These eyes are not for seeing exact
ly, hut they serve no less important
purpose. They belong to plant called
the shining moss" which grows in
cracks and erannies in old stone walls
and rocky precipices. and appears to
take every precaution against exposing
itself to full daylight. Only within a
few years, says an expert at the Botan-
ical Gardens in Washington. has the
fact been learned that the property
Possessed by this moss of shining in
the gloom of its dwelling places is due
not to phosphorescence, but to the ex-
istence on the surface of the leaves Of
thousands of minute cells filled With
transparent liquid and shaped like the
lenses of an eye. These microscopic
eyes focus the faint light that reaches
them upon the green coloring matter OF
the leaves, called the chlorophyH and
thus enable the plant to live.
Shining moss appears first to have
been described in France, but recent
writer's on natural history have shown
that it abounds in some parts OF this
country also.
There are other plants that exhibit a
similar phenomenon. and the expert re-
ferred to includes among them the ice
plant and certain varieties Of begonia.

Three Packing Don,ts

Don't pack clothes in trunk which
has not been used for some time with
out airing the latter; it may have been
lying in damp corner.
Don't begin to pack before you have
collected together all the things re-
quired, else you may, at the last mo-
ment, be obliged to squeeze some heavy
article in the top of the trunk, and
thus crush lighter articles.
Don't forget that a dress bodice or
blouse must have the sleeves stuffed
with soft paper, and any crushabIe
trimmings, such as lace or chiffon.
should be stuffed out with rolled-up
tissue paper; otherwise all the fresh
ness will be gone when brought to
light again.-New York Mail.

Volcanic Dust and Red sunse,s.

The most disastrous volcanic erup-
ton known for many years occurred in
1883. The little island of Krakatoa,
near Java, in the East Indies, was
completely wrecked by single explo-
sion. Part of the fine dust which was
elected went upward from twelve to
fifteen miles, and was then distributed
all over the globe. 1t Travelled first
along the equator, near which Kraka-
toa was situated, but it afterward
spread slowly northward and south
ward For months afterward there
was a peculiar reddish glow in the
sky at the twilight hour in many
places, and the phenomenon has been
attributed to the presence of this dust,
which in other ways was impercepti-
bic. Reports of a similar consequence
Of the eruption of Vesuvius are now
coming to hand from Europe. Accord
ing to Nature, Professor Stanislas
Meunier has collected on the roof Of
his house in Paris dust said to be iden-
teal with the dust of the eruption of
G. Gibson has also collected dust APP
parently of similar nature. DR.. #. A.
Bather, writing from Wimbledon, de-
clares that on the evening of April Is
the sunset was strongly reminiscent of
the Krakatoa glows. 1t will be inter
esting to learn whether similar obser-
vations have been recorded in other
localities. The distribution Of the dust
would depend chiefly upon the upper
air currents, which are usually differ
ent from those at the surface. and, al
though the surface winds have recent
" been from north and northeast, the
dust may have been carried to North
west Europe by currents in the upper
air.

Home Made Nerve Pillow.

A nerve" pillow is something which
physicians are said to recommend, and
which can easily be made at home.
One needs only to gather or buy a
quantity of dry soporific herbs, such as
hops and catnip leaves, bayberry and
sweet fern, adding to them sweet
grass, balsam pine and as-many sweet
smelling, sleepy things as one can
think of. Dry and powder and mix all
together. Then fill your NERVE" pillow
with the summer-wood sachet powder
thus formed. Stuff the pillow with
down or cotton batting or feathers,
and either scatter the powder thick
through the filling, or, what is better,
make fat sachet bags and fasten them
securely to the inner seams of the
pillow.
