A Cooking Ilox of Wood. The various experiments made with solar engines by tho French in Al geria, where the sun whines at all times and with great power, have been attended iu some instances with marked success. The best apparatus is stated to be a simple arrangement of boiler aud concave mirror, the steam generated being condensed in coiled tube rnrronnded by water, this being intended for distilling water merely. lSut iu India an in ventor named Adams has contrived some machines by which more varied results are accomplished. One of these is what is termed a cooking box, made of wood and lined with re flecting mirrors, at the bottom of the box being a small copper boiler cov ered with glass to retain the heat of the lays concentrated by mirrors upon the boiler. In this contrivance any sort of food may be quickly cooked, the result being n btew or boil if the Bteam is retained, or, if allowed to escape, it is a bake. The heat, with this device, may be augmented indefi nitely by iucreuKiug the diameter of the box. Philadelphia Ledger. Hlavee at Cape Town.

No dandru . - eW Ma i few J A Keeping Mineral Ferllllters. There ought to be no trouble iu keeping mineral fertilizers nntil spring iu good condition for drilling or put ting in the hill if yon put it in a dry place. So far from losing its effective ness we think the phosphate will be more effective than when it enmo from the factory. We hnve often used now phosphate ami have generally found it so moist that it is hard to drill, but when kept six months the phosphate will be dried out, and while less in weight will for that renson have its fertilizing properties in more concen trated form. We usually kept bags or barrels of phosphate in a room adjoin ing the horse stable. No doubt the sulphuric acid in phosphate united with the ammonia from the horse manure, lint if we hod this to do over again we should mix the phos phate with either cow or horse mnuure, trusting thnt its sulphuric acid would unite with the nmtnouia of the manure pile and with the lime of its original compound. It is possible every win ter, we believe, to thus mix phosphate and manure together and reduce them both to a condition of fine powder. Such a fertilizer will, we believe, be more effective on any crop than either the manure or the phosphate nsed separately. Drawing Sand on Gardens. That the texture of heavy soils may be greatly improved by intermixing them with sand has long been under stood. It is not much practiced, how ever, because even where sand can be had near the field to be benefited by it the work of loading, drawing and spreading it is enormous in proportion to the benefit. Most of the advantages of milking clay soil more mellow and less retentive of water ore secured by running underdraius through the piece, let it is a fact that melons ill crow much better m sandy soil thau they can be made to do on cloy, however mellow the soil be made. A half a load of sand brought and dumped where a melon hill is to be, and prop eriy fertilized, will bring better melons than con be grown without, it. Whether this will pay is more doubtful. e saw it done once, the man making the experiment having plenty of sand thirty rods away from his garden, which was heavy soil, Ihe work was done mostly iu the wiuter, and each load of sand was spread into two quares of seven by eight feet each, in the middle of which the melon hill was plauted the followiug spring. But though a good many loads were drawn into the gardeu, the addition of so much sand did less to moke the gar den soil friable than did the good tin derdrain which the farmer's son after wards put under it. milling Waste Ueans and Peas. We seed dealers at the beginning of every season nave more or less of beans aud peas on our hands, whose perceutuge of vegetation is too low to make thorn of auy value for seed pur poses, while they are too good to throw away. These are usually util ized either by selling them to the grocerymeu, who handle them as col ored beans, or to the farmers to feed to sheep. In my own disposing of them I hove usually hud them ground and then fed to my cows and horses, As beans are apt to cling to the mill stones (so my miller tells me), they are ground with two or three times their bulk of corn. My horses will not eat tho beau meal, while the cows relish both bean aud pea meal. Either of them is exceedingly rich feed, hav ing a larger proportion of the flesh forming constituent (protein) than corn, while peas are also valuable, for fattening animals, as our Canadian neighbors well kuow, though inferior in this respect to corn. The fnt made from peas is whiter iu color than that from corn, as can be readily seen by comparing. Caunda fattened turkeys with those raised iu the btates. As milk producer, bean meal is a great favorite with those dairymen who are so fortunate as to be able to obtain supply of old beans at as low a figure ax corn sells at. I. ike all very rich foods, beau meal should be fed with discretion; a wise proportion, I incline to believe, la but little more thun can be safely fed of cottouseed meal if the feeder intends to keep a good cow. There is another kind of bean and pea waste which I have been using more or less for the Just forty years that I believe is but rarely used to the best advautage; indeed, in many cases it is not used at all, but con signed to the dung heap. I refer to the waste from new beans and peas. Thut of which I have spoken previously is the waste caused by age, the peas and beans being as sound as ever, but simply too old; that which I now speak of is the wai- ) picked, riddled and wiuuowed out i . them to make them iu co ml it ion to be sold as seed. This waste is made np of the half beans and peas, aud that small grade which passes through the wires of tho sieves used in racking aud wiu now ing, and the sprouted, skin cracked, rotten or otherwise defective ones whkdi are hand picked out. ThU eluss of waste is confined mostly to the growers aud the wholesale dealers in beaus Mho contract for the crop just as wiuuowed, aud do their own sorting and baud picking. Knch waste cunuoi oe ground, as there is too much foul stuff among it to muke it healthy food. There are two wavs by which it cau be utilized, by feeding to sheep just as it is, leaving it to the instinct of the annual to reject the rotten peas, or by feeding it to pips, iu which case it re quires some inuuipulutiou. My first experience in utilizing beuue was with the huud picked woste of tho wholesale grocers. l'lii'diiiMing about twenty bushel of these at about twenty-five cei Is a bushel, 1 put the quantity net led for tho next day's, feeding in sou. over night, the next day cooked them with u quantity of beef scrup uu til tuey were suit, ana while the muss was scalding hot thickened it by tttir ring in meal. I fed several pigs through the winter wholly on this, with the exception of a doily throwing in of nncooked Hubbard squash. The animals did fairly well under this reg imen, but the gain from the invest ment was not sufficient to warrant a repetition. The beans, after soaking for twenty-four hours, were so im proved iu nppenrance that with very little hand picking they were usually in good condition for family nse, the defects being mostly but stains on the surface, which were removed by the water. When, therefore, beaus are high-priced, tho poor man might save a penny when he can buy this class by the barrel at the usual price nt which they are sold, viz, about one cent a quart. The pea wnHte which is left from those I roise for seed purposes, a moss of halves, small sized, Bkin crocked or rotten peas, I have been able to utilize with results that were much more satisfactory; for whereas hogs, if not brought pretty near to the borders of starvation, will not eat beans unless accompanied with other food, they always welcome peas. My way of preparing them is first to soak, or rather sink them in water, when the rotten ones rise to the sur face and are easily skimmed off. By pouring the peas into the water rather thau water on to the peas, and in either case giving them a little stirring, I find I am able to secure a large pro portion of the rotten oues. After soak- lug the peas twenty-lour lionrs tae water is drained off, aud I boil theiu to a soft, pulpy condition. In the pea-growing countries I miderstnud it is the practice to feed after tliey are soaked and swollen without cooking, but as the waste I am handling is old, oud as I utilize heat that would other wise be wasted, I prefer to cook them. My hogs, which average 200 pounds live weight, eat heartily six qnorts each of this waste, measured when dry daily, aud grow like weeds, weighing considerably more thau one of the same lot kept by my neighbor, who feeds his on the mixture of cornmeal and shorts. As the peas fed would otherwise be thrown on the dung heap, the cost of feeding them is merely the labor ottending it. J. J. H. Gregory, Marblehead, in New lork Tribune. TRICKY FALCON ISLAND. It Hat a Way of Disappearing Soon After Its Annexatlou Far away out iu the deep Pacific Oceau exists a email strip of laud which shows that it has a decided spirit and sweet little will of its own, for it will not undergo allegiance to any country. Governments often ex perience considerable trouble iu pre serving the allegiance of peoples they have conquered, but as a rule a piece of property or real estate has been looked npou as likely to remain in the same place for a considerable period of time. This little island, which has received the name of Falcon Island, proves nn exception to the rule, however. No sooner has it been annexed than it disappears off the face of the globe, leaving only a dougerous reef to indi cate its former whereabouts, and com- iug np iu a few years' time, when the country which has performed the an nexation has given up all claims. Our old friend, Johu Bull, always on the watch to iucrease the imperial empire, was the first to encounter it. In 1889 the British corvette Egeria was sent on a cruise among the South Islands, with orders from the British Admiralty to seize upon any islands or coral reefs that had hitherto been unclaimed, aud to tuke possession in the name of the Queen. Cruisiug around shef noticed from afar off a prominent island, toward which she sailed. Tall palm trees were growing on its southern extremity, which was a commanding bluff, rising 150 feet from the level of the sea. Having reported the results of his voyage to the Admiralty, next year they sent out a transport ship with orders to muke further discoveries and reports. What was the disomy of tho Captaiu of the Lgeria, who hap pened to be iu command of the trans port, on arriving at the place where he had the year before left the island sporting the uuiou jack, to find that it had disappeared from view! Instead of the beautiful island standing out so romiueutly from the oceou, was a ow and dangerous coral reef, with the sea beating aud surgiug up against it. 1 wo yearB later I ranee, also seized with the inordinate desire of annexing new territory, sent the cruiser Du- hatlault to the ran ho. Cruising around she fouud her way to Falcon. There, instead of finding a suuken reef, whitened with the foam of the breakers, the vessel's crew discovered an island the exact shape of the island fouud by the Euglish corvette in 188'.). Scarcely two years had passed awav when a brig scut out by Frauce to revisit her possessions found her way to Falcon Island. It had again dis appeared, it being simply a reef dan gerous to navigation. Whereupon France was obliged to give up all rights of possession. New York Her ald. Versatile blr Claude.

For the stuffing of a six-pound fowl nse a quart of stale crninbs of bread rubbed into fine crumbs and seasoned with a tablespoonfnl of salt, a scant tonspoonfnl of pepper, one each of summer savory and chopped parsley, and half one of powdered sage. Knb half a cupful of butter lightly through the bread crumbs. Fill the bowl with this stuffing at the vent and crop and truss it into shape. Rub it rather (hickly with butter, dredge it thickly with flour, Biid roast it on ft rock in a hot ovou or in a roaster. It will re quire two hours roasting if it weighs pix pounds. Baste it every fifteen minutes with the liquid in the pan, and dredge it lightly with flour aud a mere dash of salt aud popper. To make the giblet gravy place in a quart of water the neck and tips of the wings, which are usually trimmed off; the skinned legs, the heart, the liver and gizzard, and let them sim mer while the fow l is roasting. When tho liquid is done it will be reduced in luantity about one-half. Strain this iu tho dripping pan nfter the fowl has been removed and add it to the giblet water. All the giblets except the liver are properly the portion of the cat or dog. The liver should be chopped aud ad ded to the gravy with two even table spoonfuls of flour mixed to a thin paste in cold water. Stir the gravy after adding this thickening and let it boil for five or six minutes; then pour it into a saucebontand serve. New York Tribune. Preparation of Tripe. Tripe is inexpensive, nutritious and easily digested. Though it has been spoken of as "the poor relation of the meat family, " it is as acceptable as beef steak to many people, aud is a favorite breakfast dish with the English. When it comes from the butcher's it is boilod or picklod. Monk it in salt ana water, wash it thoroughly, then simmor until tender. After it if cold, it may be prepared in various ways. Plain tripe needs more cooking thau tho honey comb variety. Tripe Fried in Butter Make a bat ter by mixing gradually oue cup of sweet milk with one cup of flour, half a teospoonful of baking powder, tho same amount of salt, and oue well beaten egg. Dip the pieces of pre pared tripe in this batter aud fry them to a nice brown in hot fat. Lyonuaise Tripe Cut tho tripe into narrow strips or small squares. Fnt two tablespoonfnls of butter oud two slices of onion, finely chopped, into s spider, and, as soon as the onion be gins to brown, odd the tripe and a dessert-spoonful of vinegar. Stir the tripe lightly till it is of a delicate brown, season with salt and a dash of paprika, turn it into the center of a hotplattar, aud sprinkle chopped pars ley over it. Garnish with triangles of toast alternating with half circles of lemon. Pickled Tripe -Boil in a preserving kettle three cups of vinegar, an ouiou cut into quarters, holf a teospoonful of salt, two dozen allspice seeds, a dozen and a holf of whole cloves, aud a couple of blades of mace. Cut cold boiled tripe into medium-sized pieces and put them in a stone crock. Pour over the boiled liquid, using enough to cover the tripe well. Keep the crock covered and in a cool pluce. The tripe will stay in good condition for several weeks. Tripe With Cream Souce Put into a double boiler one cup of milk oud a blode of mace. When the milk is boiling, add a teaspoonful of buttor mixed with the same amount of flour, aud cook till the flour begins to thicken. Tuke out the mace, and add the tripe cut into small pieces. Stir the beaten yolk of an egg into a cup of creom, and add to the mixture. Season quick ly with salt, add a little pepper, serve iu heated dish with buttered toast, aud with chopped parsley over the top. Southern Tripe Put into a spidei a piece of butter the size of a small egg, aud when the butter is melted, add an onion cut into small pieces and cook until the onion is browned; therj stir in a spoonful of flour. Gradually add a cup of stock and one of stewed tomatoes. Add the tripe cut intc small pieces, and season highly with salt, pepper, aud a littU curry powder. As soon as the tripe is hot it is ready to serve. Fried Tripe Cut tender tripe intc two-inch pieces, sprinkle them with salt aud pepper, and dip. them into 8 beaten egg and then into cracker dust Drop them into hot lard and fry to nice brown, lirniu them a moment on brown paper before plueing upon a heated platter. Meanwhile make a dressing by creaming two tablespoon fuls of butter, and then stir into it oue tublcspoonful each of chopped parsley and lemou juice. Spread thie on the cooked tripe and serve as soon i possible Tripe Cooked with Bacon First cook the bacon until crisp, and wheu done fry a few slices of apples, and lost, take squares of tripe that hove been rolled iu flour, and cook them iu the same pan. Put tho tripe iu the center of a vilatter, And arrange the fried bacon aud apples urouud it. Stewed Tripe Cut cooked tripe iutc pieces, lor each cupim, sotteu out tablespoonful of butter in a frying puti, and stir iu a tablespoouful of flour. Wheu frothy and cooked, but uoi browned, pour iu slowly half a pint ol rich milk, stirring constantly. Season with half a teospoonful of onion juice, some salt aud cayenne. Add the pre pared tripe, toss it around iu the sauce till heated through, aud serve it iu o hot oovered dish. The Housewife. llearded llelles of Aucleiit Home.

A Word of Advice. In a sermon delivered in Ht. Andrew's Cathedral, Grand Itaplds, Mich., recently, the Hev. John A. Hehmltt spoke as follows: "Do not have liquor in your home in sight of tho children. You may say that you need It as a medlelue, but the drug stores are near enough in case of neeesslty. You do not need to make a saloon out of your homes for fear of a possible emergency. Give good example to the young. Take the pludge yourself, aud let the moat prominent place on tho parlor wnll be given to your framed pledge of abstinence. "Let everyone lend his influence to stamp-out this terrible evil of iatsmperanee. Do not merely bewail the general win wrought by the curse. Take an active part iu preventing, or at least opposing, the evil. Bay not, 'I can't.' You cau and must. Every word, every effort, helps, It is ouly by united and coutittuul ellurt that any good is accomplished iu this world."

He notified the tenants to vaoote by October 15th, but later decided to shorten tho time to July 15th. All the ooonpants of the building consented to move upon the payment of ft'200 apiece, with the exception of one man in the rear of the third floor. This tenant resolutely held ont to the original date, October 15th, as his just right. The gas and the water in the con demned structure were cut off, and all the floors above tho third wore demolished; the complacent man pro tected his domnged ceiling with a tar paulin. Wheu the stotrcases were re moved a ladder answered for the obsti nate gentleman's means of entranoo and exit. To add to the humor of the the situation he inscribed "Comfort able flat to sub-let" across the front of his flat. Finally tho contractor was obliged to stop work and the proprietor was forced to come to tho tenant's terms, by the payment of over $2500, which sum was claimed for the breach of the original contract.
