What the Market Affords

IT HE best way to cook green vegetables is to put them into
plenty Of fast boiling water. The opposite, however,
is the rule for winter roots, carrots, beets and parsnips.
They should be put into cold water and gradually allowed
to come to a boil. Rutabaga turnips will lose their coarse
rankness if cooked in this way.
IS Salt which renders water hard, should not be
added to it until vegetables have begun to cook. Some green
vegetables, like spinach, are put into sailed water to boil,
but peas and beans should be cooked in unsalted water until
they are just ready to be taken off. Carrots, beets, potatoes
and most vegetables are better for not being sailed until they
are half done. Do not add soda to green vegetables except
occasionally. It will improve the quality of some old peas
and beans, and a pinch Of it, the size Of a pea, is about the
fashioned. cook will add the soda: and then neutralize it by
adding the usual salt. In such a case the salt should be added
just as the vegetables are being taken up or to the sauce or
brown butter that is sometimes served with them.
Almost all vegetables are better for being blanched,
especially brussels sprouts, cabbage, turnips and c%aulifower.
them with. very cold water and let them remain in it for a
moment or two. Then pour off the water, cover them with
"a cream sauce and reheat them. Sometimes, if the vegetable
is of a particularly rank flavor, it will be better for several
successive b%lanchings in fresh water. When boiling onions
or cabbages, if you pour off the boiling water from time to
time and Immediately add fresh cold water, the odor will
never penetrate to the adjoining rooms. The vegetables,
too, will be delicate and in no way injured by the treatment,
This method is especially recommended for yellow turnips,
which require so many blanchings to improve them
If it IS, necessary to keep vegetables for a few days
spread them upon the cellar floor or where it is per-
sfectly cool and dry, but out of reach of air currents. Keep
each variety>by itself to save it from deteriorating in favor
Carrots, turnips, beets, potatoes and beans keep well in the
cellar if they are placed in dry sand. Cabbage if spread out
on earth in a good cellar will keep for several months. Gel
cry and leeks may also be kept several months in boxes of
earth. Onions should be hung in a cool, dry place. The stalk
ends OF asparagus and c%ucumbers are said to be better If they
are kept In about two inches Of cold water

BLAINE DIDN'T REMEMBER HIM.

STANWOOD'S new biography of James G.
l. Blaine says: "The. few glimpses we get of him at this:
the schoolboy, period of his life not only suggest the future
politician; they show in something like maturity the traits
for which he was afterward famous. He knew every boy in
school by name. Perhaps there was no accomplishment whicl
more endeared him to casual acquaintance than this marvel
GUS memory of names and faces, and his ability to recall the
circumstances of the first meeting. *.~r
=" His reputation in this respect sometimes led people to
expect too much, y the same account continues. 'He him
self related that he was accosted at a town in Ohio, after
one Of his meetings, in the travelling canvass Of 1884, by a
man who referred to his memory for faces, and asked if Mr..
Blaine remembered him.
evidently Mr.. Blaine did not, but before his tongue
made the confession already apparent on his face, the man
said, with unconcealed disappointment: Why, I was in the
crowd at the station when you passed thru here in 1876, and
stood right before you.'" ~:

Curios and Oddities
ANIMALS THAT REASON.
ITS p4Ssin1 s~fran9si''

THE president of a society for the prevention Of cruelty
l to animals is collecting instances of animal reasoning.
The following are instances he has authenticated:
A banker had a jackdaw that was interested in croquet.
AS soon as the bird heard the click Of the balls he would
swoop down, and watch the game attentively-from a hedge.
And when the players stopped, the jackdaw would begin to
play himself. He would take a ball, and push it with beak
and claws toward the "cage,' or middle wicket, and he
would not be content with merely putting the ball thru
he would work away till he had succeeded in ringing the
bell that hung from the cages top.
A Philadelphia elephant is fond Of cakes. Often, when
a cake is thrown to him, it will lodge under the bar of his
house in such a way that neither he nor the ,thrower can
reach it. In this dilemma the elephant always puts his
trunk down near the. cake and blows it out upon tie floor,
whence the thrower may again heave it. - "a
A Chicagoan has a retriever, Jack, who has been trained
to fetch slippers. Jack, one day, was bad, and they turned
him out of the room. Ashamed and detected, he went away.
He knew that he pleased his master by fetching slippers.
Therefore, to atone for his misconduct, he brought now all
the slippers and shoes he could find, and laid them in a heap
before the door. When his master opened the door, finally,
there sat Jack, looking up ~wistfully, and wagging his tail,
while beside him lay s%ome>thirty shoes and slippers. $780, -
An old bay mare had a field to herself. One day a lot
Of calves intruded upon her privacy. The mare looked at
the calves in amazement. Then she went slowly around the
field until she found the gap in the fence thru which they
had come in. Now she steered the intruders, one by one, to
the gap, and, taking, each by the back Of the neck, showed it
forth into the road again. * '
Birds that eat shellfsh, when they cannot open their
oyster or clam or mussel otherwise, fly towards a rock, and
lowering high in the air, break the shell by dropping il; on
the rock with accuracy. -

TO THE CRoUCHERINos.

NHEN your head is bowed in sorrow,
~ And your soul is out of tune;
When the Hope-Star of tomorrow
Is behind a cloud Of gloom;
When Morose Imagination
Leads you to Distraction s Brink
In your selfish dissipation
Did you ever stop to thinks
Man alive, or woman crazy
With your own Importance shirk;
You are sick, which means too lazy
To keep well-too strong to work.
Y Or, it may be you're addicted
To some devils dope or drink,
And alone must stand convicted
If you'll only stop to think.
I'm a broncho; my Pegasus
Is a cyclone on a tear.
But to ride with dope-fed asses
Makes me want to shed some swear.
Raise your head and fling your sorrow
To the dogs, with dope and drink;
And the sun will shine tomorrow,
If you'll hustle while you think.

ODD THINGS ABOUT BIRDS.

M ANY small birds when migrating cover immense dis,
lN1 tances, often, however, not by flying but rather by
being carried by violent gales. Many Of them arrive on
land in a half-dead condition. In fair weather small birds
make long journeys successfully over considerable tracts Of
ocean, but the reason is, according to an observer; that they
are carried on the backs of the larger ones. When passing
the autumn in Crete, a writer asserts that he distinctly heard
the t%wittering of small birds when focks Of sand cranes were
passing overhead on their way to southern shores. On an
other occasion, when firing a gun, he saw three small birds
rise from the. flock and disappear again among the cranes.
A native priest assured him that they came over from Europe
with them Small birds do not make their journeys in one
flight: They generally rest during the day, searching for

BURGLARS AS REVOLVER Statesmen.

heiress. ---

on the revolver trade. y i

have revolvers at hand; but they put off visiting the gun

episode like this to recall them to their duty. They per-

self some thousands Of dollars in silver and jewels. Ac-

reliable weapon. 49,
