Mining for Coffin Planks.
Harper's Weekly.

One OF the most curious industries
in the world is the business of mining
for coffin planks, which is carried on
in Upper Tonquin, portion of the
French possessions in Southeastern
Asia. In a certain district in this
Province there exists great under
ground deposit of logs, which were
probably the trunks of trees engulfed
by an earthquake or some other con-
vulsion of nature at Il comparatively
recent period.
The trees are Is species Of pine
known to the natives, and also to
some extent to European commerce
as namhou." The wood is almost
imperishable and has the quality,
either through its nature or as the
result of its sojourn underground of
resisting decay from damp. This
quality makes it particularly valuable
for the manufacture of collins, and
for this purpose it is largely exported
to Europe.
The trees are often a yard in diam
eter. They are buried in sandy earth
at depth OF from two to eight yards.
and are dug up by native labor as de-
mand is made for them.

The Biffest Of All Nests.

The nests of the jungle-fowl. So
called, in Australia, are not only the
largest of nests. but the heaviest as
well.
These nests are built in the form OF
great mounds. the average measure
ment in height being fifteen feet. in
circumference they are one hundred
and fifty feet. They are constructed
in secluded. sheltered spots and are
skilfullyinterwOven with leaves. grass
and twigs, together with such other
suitable material as the fowl has been
able to obtain.
The bush turkey employs a similar
system in the construction OF nests.
though its home is more comprehen-
sive in design. The shape is pyramid
al. Australian naturalists aver that
the nests of the turkeys are some
times so large that the services OF
several men are required to move
them

Building Materials and Noise

n German scientist named Nuss-
baum has for long time been study.
ing the question of the suppression of
noise In dwelling houses. He has ex-
perlmented both in the laboratory
ana IN private houses. One point he
has ascertained is that the more solid
and tough and strong the building
material is. the more quickly and
loudly it conveys sound, and its con-
ductlvity can best be teste by strokes
with piece of metal. The higher
the tone the greater the conductivity.
Nussbaum has made many expert
ments with partiron walls. He has
found that those of tiles and cement
transmit sound most and those of
solid clay least. Between the two
comes the wall OF ordinary brick, and
the more the brick is burned the more
noise it transmits. a quickly hard
ening lime mortar is to be preferred
to a clay mortar. One experiment
showed that when a floor was covered
with sand and cork mats spread over
it barely any noise penetrated to the
room below, but that when the cork
mats were joined together by any
material underneath noises were at
once preceprible.
10 the question. How are the
sounds of the piano or the violin in
the neighborhood apartment to be ex-
cluded? Nussbaum has returned the
suggestion that the ceiling be treated
rs he successfully treated his tele-
phone cell, namely. to line thom with
layer OF zinc or lead.

HOME HELPS.

Jellied veal can be deliciously sea-
soned with lemon juice and celery salt.
A delicious jelly is made of gelatine,
favored with grape juice and served
with blanched nuts and whipped
cream.
For spring suppers, sliced oranges
and shredded cocoanut, put into a
dish in alternate layers, is very
appetizing.
If fancy-shaped croutons are used
for garnishing, touch the under side
with white of egg. They will then
stay in place.
A variety may be secured by bak-
ing potatoes with Il slice of bacon in
side. The bacon is put into hole
made by an apple corer.
A frying basket should be dipped
in boiling water or heated in the oven
before being put in the hot fat. 1t
will thus not reduce the temperature
of the lard.
When preparing potatoes for bak-
ing cut one pairing around the largest
side of the potato lengthwise, and
when baked the skin will slip off from
each side very nicely.

The members Of political party in q
certain county were holding a cOnven.
ton to nominate a candidate for treas.
urer. The leading aspirant was a man
who had formerly been noted a. q
baseball player. He had made q great
record as q batsman. but was noto-
ricusiy slow IN running bases. The
men who had placed him in nomina-
ton made a speech eulogizing him as a
man and citizen. He was followed
by others In the same vein. and things
seemed to be going smoothly enough
when one Of the delegates rose and
said:

0dors that Workers Hate.

| What is more delicious than the
odor Of essential oils? Yet they
are abominated by men at the docks
and elsewhere who work in an atmos-
phere that is impregnated with them.
Delightful though they are to the
stranger, they produce headache and
nausea with many who breathe them
hour after hour.
To some gardeners the odors of
certain flowers are no less detestable.
That from a varietyo OF the primula
Comprising the extensive primrose
family is positively harmful, and
there have been many cases of illness
directly traceable to this and other
flowers of like species.
Onion peelers equally dislike the
pungent OdOr of the bubous roots
they handle, not, however. because it
prejudicially affects their health, but
because it clings to them as the lin
pet to the rock. In some districts
where many women are employed in
peeling onions, this tenacity is curl
Gus v manifested. If some of the wo-
men go to concert or other enter
tainment, the odor of onion soon be-
came so powerful. Notwithstanding
the peelerS had changed their cloth
ing, rs to become distressingly OBJ
jectionable.
Fish-friers are troubled in much
the same way. Some of those who
live away from their shops make the
best of things by never introducing
their working clothes into residences.
At best. the odor of fried fish is OBJ
jectiOnable, while under some circum-
stances is positive nuisance, Every
thing smells of it, and unless special
precautions are taken, milk, butter,
etc, taste of it.
So Objectionable is the smell to
some of those engaged in q trade.
that a young fellow in England delib-
erately refused the succession TO a
f5OO year. His father proposed to
make it over to him when he came of
age. but he said he was sick of the
SMELL and emigrated to Canada.
Sailors dislike many odors that are
not Objectionable to ordinary folk.
Their chief abomina:ion. perhaps, is
Il cargo OF coffee, which makes a ship
hateful. The odor becomes burden
and gives the flavor of coffee to near
ly everything on board. Even the
water supply. they maintain, tastes
of coffee.

EGGS IN MANY WAYS.
Directions for Preparation OF Number Of
Timely Dishes.


There are about as many ways of
boiling eggs as there ara of house
wives; but the familiar one Of cover
ing the eggs with hot water and let
ting them stand covered. away from
the stove for requisite time is one
OF the best. An old rule says that a
quart OF hot water just below the
boiling point should be allowed for
two eggs and ten minutes of time.
Four eggs want couple quarts water,
and so on, according to the number
of eggs. II the water is increased
the time does not need to vary This
will insure the eggs with the yolks
and whites jellied and not hardened.
Another, still better way, is to cover
the eggs with cold water and let them
come to just a boil. When the boil
ing point it reached they should be
taken promptly from the stove if a
soft stage is wanted. But whether
the soft or hard egg is desired. this
method cooks yolks and whites evenly.
There is probably no egg dish that
is surer to please everybody than a
scramble with minced ham. This
scramble may be cooked in individual
shirred egg dishes and served with a
slice of very crisp bacon on top. A
tablespoonful of minced ham to an
egg, is the usual allowance Put a
level spoonful of butter into each dish
and when it bubbles turn in an egg
that has been beaten light without
separating the white and the yolk
and has been mixed with the ham and
seasoned with salt and pepper. Put
the dishes into pan of hot water on
the stove and stir and turn with the
point of teaspoon from the center
until the eggs are creamy.
For creole eggs put little butter
into the bottom of individual shirred
egg dishes, and when it melts drop in
an egg without breaking the yolk.
Cook in pan of water until the yoke
and white are set and then pour
around the egg the following sauce,
dot with butter, and dust with salt
and pepper: For the sauce. cook a lit
tie minced onions in butter until it
begins to look yellow and then turn
on three Spanish red peppers cut into
strips and a cup full of canned to-
mato pulp drained from the liquor.
Season with salt and paprika and let
the sauce simmer for 10 minutes or
more.
A tables pOonful of cheese to every
egg used in an ordinary omelet not on
ly contributes to the flavor but adds
to nutriment of the dish. The usual
rule calls for tablespoonful of water
or milk to every egg. Rich cream is
liked by many persons; others say
that water is better than either milk
or cream. as the latter has a tend
ency to tougher the eggs.
Poached eggs on toast with tomato
sauce covering them make a delicious
luncheon dish. Cheese may be sprink-
led over the sauce. For savory
dish. spread hot buttered toast with
anchovy paste and serve poached
egg on the top.
A plain Omelet served with peas
makes tasty and slightly luncheon
dish. Drain the peas for their liquor,
and when the omelet is ready to turn
put a couple of tablespoonfuls in the
center and fold and remove to
plate. Then turn the rest of the
peas around the omeIet and serve.
