They say it is tho home of the evil spirits. The country is rucscd and rockv mountains with deep valleys and precipitous cliffs.

Victoria Weeps for Ireland. According to an "absolutely unim peachable authority," a writer in tho Westminster Gazette relates how the Irish song, "The Wearing of tho Green," was very receutly sung in Wiudsor Castle. Queen Victoria, it appears, requested a young Irish lady who was visiting the castle to sing an Irish song. She went to the piano and sang "Tho Wearing of the Green," and, according to the story told, Her Majesty was touched by tho pathos of the song and burst into tears. The writer continues: ' 'Ah!' said my em inent informant, 'you little know the depth of the Queen's sympathy for the Irish and the tenderness of her heart." An Ideal llouae Itobe. Mrs. McKiuley wrote to her modiste for an ideal house robe, and in reply received a design that had been made tor a young woman upon her convales cence from a fever. The materiul was ladies' cloth of a woolen texture. It was in one piece and belted below tho waist, with a loose girdle of passemeuterie. Over the gown was a long robe of ladies' cloth edged with passementerie and provided with sleeves long enough to slip down over the hands on a cold morning. It was lined with thinnest pink flannel for warmth. ouch a dress could be worn in one s room nicely over the thinnest cambric sups. Or it is pretty enough for call era.

A Woman With ltecord. 11 The case of Mrs. Addie W. Buzzell, a young woman of Clinton, has set all Eastern Maine astir. Although but thirty-four years of ago she has been married and divorced five times. In each case she has been the libelant. Her five ex-husbands are still living, and are most of them neighbors of Mrs. Buzzell. She ia now iu sole pos session of a large farm that she tills with the aid of a hired man. Mrs. Buzzell is a very advanced type of an independent woman, and frankly states that when she has found that a hus band has not come up to her ideas of industry, thrift aud congeniality, she has promptly set him aside. She also says that she is still looking for the right man to handle her farm and make her happy. A statement to this effect appeared in a local paper recently, ana since then the woman farmer has been sub ject to a singular siege. From a radius of fifty miles suitors have flocked to Clinton. One man who rode up to her door was a prominent Cauaau man, worth about $!000, and he urged Mrs, Buzzell to go home with him and take cure of his property. He is also a di vorced muu, aud explained to the Clin ton womau tuat a married experience of seventeen years he had found that his wife ''too slack" around tho house, Mrs. Buzzell's neatness attracted him. Other upplicauts have coma iu teams, on toot una by tnuus. Many are cranks, who wauted to work on the farm two or three months on trial with out pay. Home brought their ward robe iu extra valises aud parcels; others came iu ligut marching order, iuis weea the womau has been so pestered by attention from suitors that she ha hitched her yellow watch dog jiint outside the door. If a mau braves the dog Mrs. Buzzell lifts a shotgun across her arm aud, with the self reiiunee oi Maine taruier women, threateus to "let daylight" through the peibibteut suitor unless he leaves the premises. So far the woman has driven away all suitvrs, aud has an swered no letters. She secured a di vorce from her last husband only three mouths ago.

If you have no ice box, a fairly good way to keep butter is as follows: Put tho butter in a porcelain howl, and sei this bowl iu a soup dish which is filled to brimming with cold water. Turn over this bo that it will sit on the edge of the soup plate iu tho water a large cheap nnglazed flower pot, which has been dipped In water, lay over uie op of it a folded wot cloth. Ihe con- tant evaporation of water oozing through its pores will keep the buttet several degrees cooler than the outside emperatnre. The flower pot must ue cpt wet all the time. A I'lrnle llrlnk.

It should not bo strong. Taken without milk or sugar, it is very refreshing. An old woolen stocking leg, if such t thing can bo found, or a piece of flan ncl sewed up to lit tho Dottle, is voiu able to cool the tea, if there is any water in the vicinity of the picnio ground. Dip tho bottle with its wool covering in the water, hang it on a tree, or even standing on the ground will do, and as the water on the out side evaporates the contents ot the bottle will cool.

To Make a Good Cup of Tea. Have good too to begin with; then be sure that you have freshly drawn Dure aud filtered water of which to make tho beverage. The water must not have been standing for hours ex posed to the weather nor simmering on the range. It must be fresh, and then, if you have a brisk fire or the hot flame o'a spirit lamp, bring it quickly to the boil. A fiat-bottomed kettle is to be preferred, as it has a broad sur face to expose to the boat, and the boil ing is soon accomplished. Water is boiling when it bubbles and the steam comes in white puffs from the spout of the kettle. It does not boil when it begins to simmer ' and sing that is only the sign that it is near to boiling. You must make your tea when the water has just boiled. A kettle which has been standing on the back of a stove all day, filled up now and then by a dipper or two more of water, will not make good tea. You must boil the water on purpose. An earthen pot is better for tea than a metul one. Four a little boiling water in the pot to heat it, and after a minute or two pour it out. Now put a teaspoonful of tea for every cup of hol water an even, not a heaping, spoon ful and add an extra one for the pot. Pour on as much water as will fill the number of cups you wish to make. Let it stand two minute, then with long-handled spoon stir the leavei once through the water and instantly cover the pot again. Three minutes more and your tea is done. Never lei tea steep or boil or stand a long time. It is a quick, neat, nice process from beginuing to end. New York Journal. ROOFING lrr- JAufcl Jto CO.Xsu.dru.N .

A scientist has boon patiently watch ing the snails in one of the large Lou don gardens, and has discovered the reason by which they show their affec tion for each other. "The snail," says this scientist, "carries its eyes in telescopic watch towers. They are iu the extreme tips of its horns, uud as soon as another snail approaches these horns are drawn iu, aud the little animal awaits for his lady love to get close by before surprising her. "The emotional natures of snails, so far as love aud affection are con cerned, seem to be highly developed, and they show plainly by their actions when courting the tenderness they feel for one another. If another snail comes along they immediately retire to the shelter ot a dead leaf or hide be hind a paling. I have noticed, too. a lovesick snail fetching dainty bits of green for his sweetheart from dill'er cut parts of the garden." This scientist also declares that snails have a manner of putting their heads together that is not uulike the general uWe of kisiuug. Answer, lteclpes. Pineapple Fritters Half a cup of flour, half a cup of milk and two eggs. Beat together the flour, half the milk aud the yolks, seasoned with half a saltspoonful of salt. Add gradually the balauce of the milk. Stir iu a tea- cupful of tiuoly chopped pineapple, and lastly the whites of the eggs beaten stiff. Drop by spoonfuls on a hot but tered griddle. Cook till a delicato brown on both sides. Egg Puffs Take one egg for each person to uo served. separate the whites from the yolks, keeping the yolks whole. Add a saltspoonful of salt aud a dash of pepper to the yolks. Add a pinch of salt to the whites and beat stiff. Drop iu teaspooufuls ou hot buttered griddle, atl lay a yolk on top of each spoonful. Cover each with another teaspoonful of white. Turn quickly to brown tho other Bide. They will be almost balls.

Bishop Spalding of Teoria, 111., says: "Intoxicating drinks are not necessary to health, since women and children, to speak In a large sense, do not use thorn, and their Health Is quite as good as that oi men WHO I drink. They are not necessary, and often they are harmful, bringing ruin upon countless Individuals, despair to the hoarts of Innumerable wlvos and mothers, ohang- I . i l . I . . .... I K.. 1 ....

Nor will any good or wise man say that all this concerns others, not himself. "What I am I owe to a thousand influ ences not in v own. and I am the shallowest ' of men If I Imagine thut It Is possible for I me to take care of myself without caring : for others.

Alcohol Lower the Working Power. Professor C. F. Hodge, In rovlowing some of the work of the Committee of Fifty, In Appleton's Popular Science Monthly, gives tho following deductions regarding the effect of alcoholic liquors on brain workers; "Helmholtz has said, in describing his methods of work, that slight Indulgence In alcoholio drinks dispelled instantly his best Ideas. Professor Oaule once told the writer, as an experiment during the strain ot his 'ritaatsexameu' that he suddenly stopped his wine and beer and was sur prised to Had now muen oeuer ne eouia work. An eminent professor In Lelpsh) once said that the German students would do 'twice tho amount of work' (kosnnten zwolmal so viel leilten') If they would lot their boer alone. Dr. August Hmitb has found that moderate non-lutoxlcant drsos of alcohol (forty to eighty cubic centime ters dally), lowered psychio ability to memorize as much as seventy per cent. Lexiner observes 'dass der Alcohol den Mensuhen giestlg so hcrunterbringt, dass er schliesslloh ulchts mehr kann, wis polltlsleren,' that the alcohol so subdues man meutally that he Dually can do noth ing but go into politics. Possibly tha trouble with a good deal ol our politics is this country." Knocking Out tho Props. One after another have the props that supported the aluoholio treatment of dis ease been knocked out or shown to be utterly untenable. It was long strenuously maintained that it gave strougth and was an aid to digestion; but the fact has boon abundantly established that few so-called remedies so elfeutually sap vitality and strength and Impair the digostlve powers as the alcoholics. It was then confidently asserted that it was to some exteut con sumed in the system aud so contributed to animal heat; but It hits been aDunaanny shown that much of It passes out of the system as it enters it, simply as alcohol, and it has never been shown that any part ot it undergoes combustion or contributes to animal beat, aud the universal testimony of polar navigators is that those resist eold best who make no use oi spirits.
