The Florida agriculturist., 1906-03-07

Of course the object may be only a
few hundred feet away, in which case
the sound will come back i'm less than
second, but you may determine the
distance, nevertheless, by calling a
single syllable, as 'Har' and calling it
again as you hear the echo, not before
or after it, but just with it.
With a little practice you can do
this. Repeat the call ten or twelve
times, counting the seconds between
the first call and the last echo. Sup
pose, for example, that the time is
seven seconds, and that you called the
syllable ten times; then each echo took
seven-tenths of a second, and the dis
tance, found in the same way as be-
fore, is about 394 feet
Having amused yourself with the
mathematics of an echo, you may find
diversion in it as a game.
Any number can play, one being
chosen to tell a story. The other
players have names given to them that
will be mentioned in the story, and the
stOry-teller musa not forget to call up
on them once or twice. If he calls a
name once, the bearer of it must echo
it twice; if he calls it twice in success
sion, the bearer must echo it only once
The story should be so interesting
that the players will forget to echo
their names, or echo them the wrong
number of times, and then they must
pay forfeit.
A bright boy or girl might tell a
good story of shipwreck, giving the
players such names as ship, captain,
mate, passengers, masts, sails, wind,
wave, rocks, sailors, lifeboats, ETC. If
it is about a wolf hunt, the name
should be hunted, gun, powder, bullets.
dogs, cave, tree, grasses, etc.
With a good story-teller, the game
would be very amusing.-Boston
Herald.
The Florida agriculturist., 1906-03-07
An Interesting Game,

There is scarcely anything i'm nature
that eXerts the fascination over every
one alike than does an echo, and, COM
mon as it may become, there is always
a feeling of mystery about it that
holds us as with a charm.
OF course. we all know it is merely
the reflection of sound from some OBJ
Ject, as the side of q house or a rock
or Il hill; but often we can not tell how
far away the object is that causes it.
Here is Il way to tell, every time, and
with a little care you may become
quite expert in reckoning the distance
Holding a watch in your hand. shout
Il single syllable, as Hot" or "Har'
and count the number of seconds from
the time you shout until the sound
comes back to you. Now, sounds
travel at about the rate of 1,125 feet
Il second. SO the number of seconds
that elapse multiplied to 1 ,125 will give
the distance in feet Travelled by the
voice in going to the object and back
to you again, and One-half of that
number will be the number Of feet
away that the object is.

THOUGHTS FOR THIS WEEK.
A Good Move.

In recent editorial in the MetrOpO-
lis. we find the following:
Teaching gilrs how to cook and do
other domestic work, as well as in
struct them in books, is one of the
features of Winthrop College, at Rock
Hill. S. c..
A correspondent of the Charleston
News and Courier says that a series
of dinners i'm which each pupil of the
department has place is now being
given.
The second of the series occurred
very recently, and is worthy of men
ton in many ways.
In these affairs everything is done
by the pupils themselves; the decora-
ton of the tables, the preparation and
serving The pupils are so trained
that they are capable of not only Sc
lecting the '.cut'' of beef, veal or pork
desired, but of directing the butcher
how to cut it to best advantage. They
are not only taught to make bread, but
wholesome bread, and to prepare vege-
tables as they should be prepared. In
short. to make raw material, prepare
it i'm the most appetiZing and health
full manner and serve it with taste
Attention is also given to the arrange
ment and management of the dining
room.
At the dinner just mentioned, the
second of the series, Section G of the
junior cooking class was in charge.
The guests were present, and the color
scheme was violet anl lavender and
was carried out in violet and lavender
crepe paper and fresh violets, with
violet place cards, and the whole was
a success.
Now is there anything better to
teach girls than how to keep house and
to cook? They may never have to do
such work after leaving school, but
they should know how it is done, and
not be dependent on others. 1t is a
great requirement, and will always be
found help in the years to come.
There are many girls who know all
about books, and society functions, but
nothing about preparing a meal or
keeping house,
When the education of our young
women along the above lines becomes
universal, then we may expect to find
the ideal home more prevalent.

Egg Remedy.

A Chicago doctor says that for the
last fifteen years he has used egg to
cure felon and has yet to see a case it
will not cure. The way to apply the
egg is as follows: Take a fresh egg
and crack the shell at the larger end,
make a hole just large enough to
admit the thumb or finger, whichever
it may be, and force it i'm the egg as
far as possible without rupturing the
shell. Wipe off the egg that runs
out and bind a handkerchief or soft
cloth around the finger OF thumb leav-
ing the egg on over night. This will
generally cure in one application.

Care of Hats.

A young wOmans array of hat boxes
is Oftentimes a puzzle to know how to
hide, so we offer the following from an
exchange.
In the corner of bedroom occupied
by lovely young girl, stood tall and
slender piece of furniture whose size
and shape did not proclaim its uses,
for the reason that it was such a very
new invention.
The room was papered in mauve-
tinted satin paper, with broad band
of trailing wisteria below the cove of
the wall and narraw panels of was
teeria at intervals, most of them near
ly half hidden by the numberless odds
and ends which go to beautifying and
make interesting a young girls room.
This piece of furniture was covered
with pale mauve cretOnne, upon which
stood, in beautiful relief, sprays of
wistaria, in all the shades of heliotrope
known to that flower
On the top of it stood a picture
frame, of wistaria cretonne and gold
gimpe, which seemed just the light
touch needed to the frail looking ar
ticles which it decorated. A tall
was CONCICu VIII
creaonue, the pieces of the frame
scarcely wader than ones two fingers.
Fitted in the frame were five square
hat boxes, covered with wisteria-
fiowered cretonne and having a brass
handle i'm the middle of each. These
were fixed in the frame and had their
front sides made separate.
The cardboard had been slit three
inches above the bottom and, although
this slit was not apparent between the
two pieces of cloth which covered the
cardboard, it permitted the upper part
of the side to hang loose, showing the
inside of the box, which was nicely
lined and arranged with the oval piece
in the center upon which to rest hat.
An elastic loop and button on the top,
under a rusette of mauve ribbon, held
the flap in place when closed.
Five hats were snugly tucked away
in these pretty boxes, within easy
reach and kept free from dust and
crushing by each having home of its
own.
The woman with a large number of
hats could easily have frame made to
hold a double row of boxes and have
the pretty little articles of furniture
made taller to accommodate seven or
eight boxes in one row.

with two eggs and a small cupful of
-four to a pint of milk. Pour this over
the fruit. and bake. 1t should go at
once from the oven to the table and be
eaten with a hard sauce.
Orange Short Cake-iS one of the
best winter short cakes. and it is also
very good when made with orange
marmalade. Any favorite light biscuit
dough may be used for the cake. An
other rule calls for an egg and half a
cupful of sugar, with a small quart of
flour, teaSpOonful of soda and two
of cream of tartar, a pinch of salt,
large tablespoonful of soft butter rub
bed into the flour, and milk enough to
mix soft dough. Sprinkle the orange
well with sugar, if sour, and sour
oranges are better than sweet ones
for this and similar uses. Serve with
sugar and cream.
Orange SaIad-FOur oranges make
an excellent salad, cut thinlyi and
dressed with plain French dressing
of salt. pepper, vinegar and oil. They
are particularly good with poultry or
game.
For creams and ices, oranges are
among the best of fruits, and their
use is manifold, requiring a long pa
per to set it forth fully For jellies
and marmalade, the orange is also of
great value, and this is a good time to
put them up for future use, when less
full of flavor and also much more ex-
pensive. To initiate the flavor of the
Dundee marmalade, the bitter orange
is required, not always to be procured
RIIt for
cellent domestic product presents no
special difficulties. Two receipts are
offered, both of which have proved
Dundee Marmalade.-Wash the or
anges and slice thinly, peel and fruit,
the seeds. To each dozen
oranges add a bitter Seville orange
and the juice of a lemon. Cover with
cold water, and let them stand over
night in an earthen dish. Boil gently
the following day until the rind is
entirely tender; then add a pound of
sugar for each pint of fruit, and boil
until transparent 1t should form a
firm jelly.
Orange Marmalade.-Take off as|
thin a peel as possible from the or
angeS, and soak this rind in salted
water for "a hours. Boil it in fresh
water. changing once, until tender, and
cut fine with a scissors Pick up the
pulp of the oranges in bits, rejecting
seeds and all white fiber. Add this to
the rind, and allow an equal quantity
of sugar. Simmer until clear and
ready to jelly. Either of these will
keep indefinitely and add a very
piquant relish to the home stock of
sweets.
The candied peel is easily prepared
in much the same manner as indicated
in this last recipe. Boil down until
nearly dry, and finish in a warm Oven
1t has many uses as a decorative ad-
dition to cakes and desserts, and the
peels of fresh oranges eaten may be
utilized in this way. They can be
kept for several days in jar of salted
water while gathering.

application received by DR.. Hamilton
this morning for brick for a house at
Richmond, Mo. The request comes
from John P. Bramhall Of Richmond,
and the letter vas turned over to the
freight department of the railroad
company, which will make the rate
reasonable enough to effect the sale of
the brick. At the Chillicothe show the
Laramie brick were pronounced
among the finest ever shown in that
state, and the writer desired some to
