How to Work While You Play.

A French collaboration of Thomas
Edison has just invented a sewing
machine which is also piano. It's
mechanism is SO arranged that every
time the operator strikes a note on
the keyboard, she completes one
stitch A single waltz will hem three
handkerchiefs-Bee symphony
will sew an entire trousseau. Thus,
the dressmaker can work and play at
one and the same time, and the more
they play, the more they work. To
bring the invention into the vogue 1t
so fully merits, schools will be es-
tablished in many parts Of France
for the training of young women for
the degree of NJ. p. M.-"master piano
machinists." Music with its charms
will thus be given an undoubted utili-
tartan value, and all the roundabout
societies for the furtherance of mu-
steal appreciation" will be left in the
shade by simple mechanical con-
trivance.

PREPARING SHELL FISH.

After the rest from oysters during
the warm months, one comes back to
them with a new relish when the cool
days Of fall are here.
BroiIed oysters With Brown Sauce.
Dry and season the oysters as for
frying. Have ready wire broiler and
good clear fire; arrange the oysters
lon the broiler and cook minute on
each side. Put them on a hot dish,
add a tablespoonful OF butter, one Of
lemon juice and a sprinkling of salt
and red pepper to each oyster The
brown sauce il usually that which is
made from the liquor of the oysters
that are cooked on a cake griddle, add
ing -four and butter for thickening
\ A delicious bouillon to. serve for
company is prepared thus: Chop fine
fifty oysters, put them in a double
boiler and cook slowly for an hour;
add pint of water, teaspoonful OF
celery seed, and strain through two
thicknesses of cheese cloth. Reheat,
add butter and salt and serve in cups.
Planned Oysters Served on Toast
Drain and wash the oysters. Have
ready smoking hot spider, throw in
the oysters and add tablespoonful Of
butter to each two dozen oysters.
Shake often, season with salt and pep
per and add ten drops of onion juice.
When boiling hot serve on squares of
toast.
1t Is always wise to throw away the
water in which the oysters are re.
ceived.
A green tinge in an oyster does not
denote decomposition necessarily, for
often the green food on which they
feed gives them that color.
When preparing oysters, put them
into a colander and pour a quart or
two of cold water from the faucet
through them. BY handling each one
the bits of shell may be discovered
and removed
oysters, Escalloped.-When prepar-
ing escalloped oysters, 1t is well to re-
member that more than two layers OF
oysters in the same dish will not cook
well. Butter the dish and add layer
of oysters, then layer of crumbs, and
another layer of oysters. Season wei
and have the crumbs well buttered
Pour on enough milk to be seen be
tween the oysters and bake until the
crumbs are brown on top.

LATE WORK WITH
STRAWBERRY PLANT
Cultivation Should Be Continued
Until Compelled to Stop
by Cold Weather.
(Ry NJ. N. EDGERToN)

We should still continue to keep the
cultivators going in the strawberry
bed. In fact we discontinue tillage
or freezing weather.
We consider this work of special
importance If the fall season be in any
wise dry Not only is this tillage nee
essary in order that proper moisture
conditions be preserved, but the sur
face should be kept loose, so that air
may be freely admitted. conserving
those conditions favorable to the pro-
cesses OF soil life which change the
elements of plant food from an insolu-
BILE to a soluble form, that is to say
put 1t in such shape that 1t may be
assimilated by the plants.
There are many who fail to recog-
nize the importance of this late tillage,
or recognizing its Importance, fail to
put their knowledge into practice.
Having started in well we believe in
running well to the end.
Stray weeds should be kept out
also. They are nuisance. Even I'M
der the best of culture they will creep
in, seeming like "Jonah's gourd" to
grow up in night.
With the matted row systems weeds
are likely to give no end OF trouble IL
the soil is badly invested with weed
seed.
This small late growth, though
seemingly not of any significance, as
sumes great proportions during the
spring months If not removed, and
there is no time quite so favorable as
the late fall months in which to do
the work.
There is another task in connection
with strawberry growing that should
not be neglected at this time OF the
year: surplus runners should be re.
moved. An unnecessary plant is as
much out of place in a strawberry bed
as a weed.
All of this work and care calls for
stick-at-lt-iveness. The grower must
not become weary in well doing IL he
would reap the greatest rewards.
