About Roas'n' Em. The Indians taught the hungry' colonists how to make use of roast ing ears. They took the ears in its green shuck, covered it with hot ashes and coals and promptly produced the best dish of corn possibly made. They had no salt wherewith to savor the corn, but thoy had a substitute in hickory ashes. The colonists Improved upon that treatment of the ear by the use of salt, pepper and but ter. And so it came about that the nice, tender ears selected for table usecamo to bo called "roas'n ears" though as time went on they were of tener boiled than roasted. The roasting process had pretty well gone out fashion when the Civil War came on, and when the "reb els" and "Yanks" both found it convenient to revive it Southern soldiers were nearly always uponthe verge of starvation after the first year of war, and over and over again they were compelled to supply themselves with food from the growing corn; sometimes they ate it raw; noth ing could please them better than to have time to roast it There was much simplicity in this cookery. No cooking utensil was required; all that was needed was a camp fire and the ears of green corn. The old stager cannot be made to believe that any cooking is so good as that which used to bedone by the campfire, or in thespacious open fireplaces, when a whole log was thrown on at one time. Cer tainly they were mighty fine for barbecuing meats or fowls, for roasting corn and potatoes, and for baking ash cakes. Alas ! mod ern bills of fare "menus" do not include such dishes as these.

For example, out of 22,735,661 people ten years of age and over engaged in gainful occupations in 1890, 8,396,534, or more than one third, were engaged in agricult ural labor. Statistics lately gathered by the agriculture de partment indicate that while agri cultural laborers that is those who work for hire a decreasing elements as compared with the entire body of agricultural work ers in the United States, their wages have latterly been on the the increase. It appears that farm wages by the month, by the year and by the season were higher in 1898. Estimating on the basis of the rate of wages with board a month in a year, gains ranging from 7 to 10 per cent, are reported from the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Washington, Michigan.North Da kota, and Wyoming, the states be ing ranged in the order of rate of increase. It is noted that in the United States as a whole wages by the month.by the year or sea son, both with and without board, reached their maximum in 1866 and their minimum in 1879. Bradstreets.

Stellar Heat Radiatton. i As if it were not enough to have measured theeuormous distances of those few stars whose parol laxos are determined by triangu lation upon the only ovailablo base line of the diameter of the earth's orbit, and later to have discover ed by moans of the spectroscope the general constitution of many suns, together with the rate and direction of their motion, astro physicists propose to ascertain the quantity of heat they radiate to the earth across the immense spatial abyss. In this connection Professor Ernest F, Nichols, of Dartmouth College, has recently contributed a new and interesting chapter to the story of the heav ens. So long ago as 1869 Sir William Huggins, the eminent English physicist, attempted this particu lar investigation, and published the results he thought he had se cured with his thermopile and galvanometer, and -the following year his conclusions were prac tically corroborated by so well equipped an investigator as Dr. ' E. J. Stone; however, astrono mers in general were disposed to attribute the disturbances of the extremely sensitive apparatus employed to extraneous and acci dental causes, and this suspicion apparently received confirmation in the utter failure of Professor C. V. Boys, of Oxford, in 1888-90, to observe the slightest indication of stellar heat radiation with his radiomicrometer an instrument of such intrinsic sensitiveness that without the aid of concentra ting mirrors and lenses it exhib ited a deflection of 60 mm. when a candle was placed at a distance of inches, and when in conjunc tion with a reflector of 16 inches aperture showed a deflection of 38 mm. produced by the heat of a candle at a distance of 250 yards, being fully capable of detecting so minute a degree of heat as 1-150,000 of the amount radiated by the full moon to the mirror. Notwithstanding this circum stance, the American electrical genius, Edison, believed that with his micro-tasimeter he succeeded in detecting heat waves coming from the star Arcturus, but this now seems quite improbable, be cause of the comparatively small capacity of his apparatus. Professor Nichols's experi ments, which were carried on at the Yerkes Observatory,with the aid of thoroughly qualified assist ants, were made with his torsion radiometer, a tiny, air tight case with a fluorite window, contain ing a suspension of quartz fibre, with vanes of mica but 2 mm. in diameter, coated with lampblack. The Yerkes 24 inch silvered glass mirror, fashioned by Mr. G. Willis Ritchey, was employed to collect and supply the starbeams and the deflections were read at a distance of several feet with a telescope. The full description of the apparatus, with the min uties of the experiments as pub lished in the AstrophysicalJourn al would occupy more than a page but it is sufficient to state that the radiometer is at least twelve times as sensitive as Boys' radi omicrometer, which would indi cate the one one-millionth of a degree rise in temperature. Two well known stars, Arctur us and Vega, respectively prob ably 150 and 1000 trillions of miles distant from the earth, and plan ets, Jupiter and Saturn, were selected for the experiment. All the processes involved were dainty and arduous, and as usual, mech anical and atmospheric difficulties supervened, but the investiga tions was highly successful, and the average of the observation, ex pressed in terms of many million th parts of the heat defloction of a candle stationed at the distance of a Bingle meter, showed that Vega's radiation is only half as great as that of Arcturus, while as to the planets, Jupiter's deflec tion doubled that of Arcturus, while Saturn's was only one-sixth as great as that of its congener. As a matter of course, the ob servations, though conducted with the greatest care, must still be regarded as "rough," but so approximately successful an at tempt will doubtless be improved upon in the near future, with in struments of vastly greater ca pacity, with a high resulting val ue to astrophysics, for it will be noticed that, while the photome tric brilliance of the two stars is nearly equal, their tints are quite dissimilar, and herein may yet be discovered some surprising expo sition of the conditions of star life.

Many physicians are now pre scribing Kodol Dyspepsia Cure regularly, having found that it is the best prescription they can write because it is the one prepa ration whichcontainstheelements necessary to digest not only some kinds of food but all kind and it therefore cures indigestion and dyspepsia no matter what its cause.

According to an estimate of the United States fish commis sion, 2,000,000 frogs are annually caught for the market in this country and the sum paid out to the hunters each year is about $100,000. The United States con sumes five times as many frog legs as France, and the industry is becoming of such importance that the fish commission has long been considering various plans for the artificial breeding of frogs for the market. Geo. W. Lane, Pewamo, Mich., writes: "Your Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is the best remedy for indi gestion and stomach trouble that I ever used. For years I suffer ed from dyspepsia, at times com pelling me to stay in bed and causing me untold agony. I am completely cured by Kodol Dy spepsia Cure.

There Is one class of citizens In Clevelnnd that I always cool, no mat ter how warm the rnye from the sun may make their neighbors feet. In the warm spoils the Chinese residents of the city are never heard to complain; and while all other nationalities seem ed to be represented In the reports of doatha and heat victims the Celestial alone seemed to possess Immunity. Ills coolness Is due to the fact that he has an antidote for the beat tn tho shape of tea from his native land, and ho knows how to tAke It The hotter the day the warmer will be the tea which he drinks in unstinted quanti ties; ' One of the followers of Confucius who has an extended reputation for his dexterity tn mixing chop sooy for the cultivated taste of actors and people with Thespian tastes explained the reason why none of his people ever suffer with heat lie also said that daring the hot weather none of his people ever eat any meat, and even the odor of yokomal has no temptation for him. The philosophy of the Chinaman Is that the abstinence from Tneat and the Indulgence In the boiling tea act In conjunction to keep him .from feeling the heat. The tea Is supposed not only to relieve all thirst, but to Induce a perspiration that In turn brings about a lower temperature. The Chinaman also eschews any at tempt at bathing during the heated season and declares that this also con tributes to his general chilly tempera ture. He never hampers himself with extra clothes and above all has never learned to read a thermometer. Cleve land Plain Dealer. Orunital Lv TAaek.

Buttermilk is an excellent drink for people with muddy complexions, being full of a mixture of acids known collec tively as lactic acids, which are good for the skin. Pigs fed on It thrive and give an especially well flavored bacon. It also makes lovely boe cakes.
