cucumbers History.

A strange recipe was once given for
the use Of cucumbers. It stated, peel
of the cucumber, slice it, pepper It,
put vinegar to 1t, and then throw 1t
out Of the window. It is, Of course,
difficult to account for tastes; but this
rather suggests advice prompted by
an enfeebled digestion. The cucumber
has for centuries had a place in the
worlds dietary table. We have biblical
authority for the statement that when
the Israelites complained to Moses,
they said: "We remember the fish
which we did eat in Egypt; the cucum-
ber and the melons," There may be
imaginative minds who will see here a
link with that popular English dish Of
today, salmon and Chicago

This Monster Was Rattler.

The curators of the Launceston and
Tascanian museums have presented to
the Royal Society Of Tasmania the pre-
liminary account OF a nearly complete
skeleton of a giganticieXtinct monster,
recently discovered in the plelstocene
beds Of Tasmania.
The animal was oa large as the
largest existing rhineaaeros. The new
discovery shows clearly that 1t was a
rhinoceros-like animal, with a skull
built for aggressive warfare, and at
least one powerful horn on the snout.
Evidence of the gigantic battles IL
which this animal engaged is to be
found in the complete smashing and
partial mending of the collar-bone,
and in the crushing and subsequent
repair of the bones of the nose an6
snout.

POINTS OUT HUSBANDS DUTY
Writer Insists No Man May Stand In
the LiehtNof His Wife's Domes-
tic Ambitions.

"Puzzled husband" writes us that
he is sorely tried by his wife's ambi-
lion to bake the family bread, and
other things. His domestic affection
and spirit of chivalry will not permit
him to tel, his wife the truth-that
the bread is almost as heavy as a paw
ing stone and quite as indigestible. So
he goes TO work every morning with
a heavy heart and an even heavier
stomach. and is hedeviled with gripes
and abdominal pains all day, Greene
al. Farley writes in the Seattle Post
!ntelligencer.
Not only that, but his wife IS a con-
slant reader Of domestic science de-
eartments and she uses him as an eX-
pertinent station. This last week. ne
says, he had biscuits that would do for
sinkers on a fish line emil an angel
cake that could not be differentiated
from old putty. The heartrending fea-
ture is that she asks him with a
bright smile how he likes it all, and he
cannot find it in his breast to tell the
ruth about it; so he lies frankly and
yholeheartedly.
All this is getting on his nerves ana
on his stomach and IN his conscience
In the course of a little time he
feels his life insurance Is going to be
due.
Should he tell her the truth, or
should he suffer IN silence and let her
go ahead and collect the life ipsur-
ance?
If life is worth anything to him he
might conclude to tell her the truth
and let her go ahead and procure her
divorce. She might find a second hus-
band with a cast-iron digestive appa-
ratus and the present husband ought
not to stand in the way of his wifsfs
career as a domestic scientist.

COURT SETS VALUE ON TREES
Decision That Will Be of Interest to
Many Communities Throughout
the Country.

In Salem, Mass, a resident sued the
town gas light company for damages
caused by the killing Of five shade
trees through the escape Of gas from a
leaky main. A verdict for $1,000
against the company was rendered.
5000 a tree. The decision is said to
have been awaited with a, good deal
of interest by surrounding towns, for
tree killing from this cause is a COM
mon thing. 1t has happened many
times in Indianapolis, according to re-
port; though complaints have not been
heard lately with the frequency that
characterized them rack in the days
when natural gas was piped through
the streets, hastily and no doubt often
c%arelessly.
Tie killing Of a thrifty, well-grown
shade tree is usually a distinct loss to
any property, commonly lowering its
value. In view of the time required
for the growth of such trees $500 is
a moderate sum in the way of damages,
and no amount of money, when it
comes to that, can really recompense
the owner Of the trees. They have to
him, especially If he planted and cared
for them, a sentimental value that dol
lars cannot measure. They have added
beauty to his home and he has counted
them among his treasures. To a real
tree lover, a beautiful tree, whether
his own or not, seems almost to pos
sess a personality of its own and to
see it struggle for life and gradually
die, brings real sorrow. 1t Is to view

Embroidery Arseent Art.

The art of embroidery has been
sracticed from time immemorial-it is
said to be as old as the art of dress
ing. The mummy clothes Of ancient
Egypt show the earliest eXtant en-
broidery and the "pome-granates of
blue and purple and scarlet" of the
book Of Exodus were of embroidery.
The art reached it's height in the
early middle ages. In Greece and
Rome laws were made to moderate its
use, but without success. The most
distinguished artists did not count 1t
ceadescension to make the designs
from which the highest ladies in the
hnt executed their embroideries. No
workers were more skilled In tho art

Quickly and Successfully.

formulas in having in most instances
a larger percentage Of potato, in the
absence Of beans and peas, and in
having various minor additions, such
as beets, celery, radishes and toma-
toes.
In making up combinations of dried
vegetables, the housekeeper should re-
member that the mixture must subSe-
quently be soaked and cooked as a
unit, and only vegetables that absorb
water and cook at approximately
equal rates can be successfully COM
bined in q dry condition. Such mate
rails as the root vegetables, cabbage,
celery. tomatoes and onions behave
alike both in their absorption of water
and in cooking, according to special
lists OF the United States Department
of Agriculture. Any desired COM
bination can be made from them.
Dried corn and mature peas and
beans absorb water very much more
slowly and must be cooked from two
to three times as long as materials in
the list Just given. For this reason
they cannot be mixed with other
vegetables before soaking. Instead.
they should be separated, soaked, and
partly cooked. Then the other vege.
tables desired in the mixture, after
previous soaking, may be added and
the whole cooked until done.
How to Dry Vegetables.
Practically all vegetables, after be
ing sliced or otherwise made eeady
for the drier, should be hlanched from
one to three minutes in boiling water
or steam before drying. They should
then be drained and spread in a very
thin layer on the shelves Of the drier.
From time to time the trays should
be withdrawn and the contents care
fully stirred so the product will dry
evenly.
When thoroughly dry the product
should be removed from the drier and
placed In a dark airy DON free from
insects. Stir occasionally during the
several days It is left there to IRE.
Then heat carefully again for a few
minutes and store in tin cans, heavy
p%asteboard boxes, or parafined bags.
Cover tightly to exclude insects and
store in a room which is warm and
dry.
