FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. BEAN-SOUP. Soak a coffeecupful of white beans over night; in the morning boil "until tender—they should then be quite dry; pass through a sieve and add threo pints of water and one quart of rich milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter, three large potatoes chopped fine; par sley, pepper and salt to taste; simmer bout half an hour and serve hot. ROLLED BEEFSTEAK. Mix a teacup of stale bread crumbs, a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a teaspoon each of sweet marjoram, and thyme, finely powder with half a tea spooiiful of salt and a pinch of black pepper together; moisten with a table spoonful of melted butter; spread over a two-pound rouud steak, roll tightly, and tie with twine. Putin a baking pan with scraps of suet or fat from the steak, add a half cup of water and bako in a quick oven for half aa hour. Serve with brown sauce. BREAD PUDDING. There arc a number of ways to vary bread pudding, and this recipe makes the one best enjoyed. Take one quart of milk, one pint of bread crumbs, three eggs, one small cup sugar, a small piece of butter and one and one half teaspoon fuls vanilla extract. Boat the yolks of eggs and stir thera with tho rest of tho ingredients, reserving the whites for tho top. Bake the pud ding twenty-five minutes, then take it from tho oven, spread a layer of- cur rant-jolly over tho top; beat tho whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, with one tablespoonful of sugar, spread this on top of tho jelly, return to tho oven to brown on top.— Prairie Fanner. CHICKEN SALAD. One quart of chicken cut into dice, one pint of celery cut into dice. Mix well and sprinkle with salt. Marinate with a French dressing. When ready to serve add some of tho mayonnaise dressing. Cover with mayonnaise, garnish, and serve. Miss Maynard used three-fourths as much celery as chicken. The celery should bo scraped before cutting into dice. Season the celery with salt. If one has many people to servo, turkey can be used instead of chicken, and is very nice. After the | salad is thoroughly mixed, put it in a salad bowl, cover with mayonnaise, garnish with the white celery leaves, then take tho yolks of two hard-boiled eggs, rub through a sieve, sprinkling over the salad, aud add a few capers.

Hot fat or cutting bread will soon dull the edge of the sharpest knife. Tissue or printing paper is the best thing for polishing glass or tinware. Tho best of tea makes but an indiffer ent decoction unless the water is fresh. Eggshells crushed and shaken in a glass bottle half filled with water will clean it quickly. A damp cloth dipped in salt will re move egg stains from silver, or tea stains from china dishes. A sink or other home drain should be thoroughly washed out with boiling suds at every weekly wash-day. Kerosene is unexcelled in starch to give polish; also to polish glass; it will make your windows shine liko silver. A tablespoonful of ammonia in a gal lon of warm water will often restore colors in carpets; it will also remove whitewash from thorn. Yellow stains,left by sewing-machine oil, on white, may bo removed by rub bing tho spot with a cloth wet with ammonia before washing with soap.

I California farmers are beginning to use silos to preserve winter and spfing fodder fjr summer and fall u»e —a complete reversal of Eastern dairy , economy. | A Minneapolis inventor is about to I introduco to tlie public a slot machine | that for a nickel will present the player a photograph of himself in jutt three minutes from the time he drops in the five-cent piece. The hospital of St. Spirito, in Flor ence, Italy, is said to contain a table ; top of petrified human viscera, the I work of a Florentine anatomist, who i died without explaining the process so i ghoulishly applied. According to a recent paper read be j fore the French Academy of Sciences the temperature at the top of the Eiffel Tower is frequently much higher than at the ground, though tho contrary as a rule is to be expected. In the Cascade Mountains, Oregon, is to be found tho Great Sunken Lake, the deepest in the world. It is said to average SJOOO feet down to the water on all sides. The depth of tho water is unknown. It is fifteen miles long and four and one-half wide. Mr. Gntschett has just had published by the bureau of ethnology a grammar of tho Klamath language. It is intend ed to form not only a complete analysis and exposition of that language, but to bo a model of all subsequent grammars of the Indian languages. It is probable that the Engliih oak will bo tho hard wood of the future on the Pacific coast. This species is ap parently much better adapted to that region than are tho varieties of tho oak common to the Eastern states, which there make a slow and unsatisfactory growth. A soluble pigment has been found in the spines of tho South American treo porcupine. The quills are tinged with bright yellow and tipped with dark brown. The yellow will dissolve in ordinary water, but tho brown roiistj the solvent action of alcohol and chloro form, though it yields to ammonia and potash. It is not a fact that new- born babies always have blue eyes. But it is true that in the majority of cases the eyes j of the newly-born are blue in color, and as age increases, change. This is owing to the fact that at the time of birth the pigmental structure of the choroid coat of the eye is not complete, with tho re sult that the blue and violet rayi of light are more fully reflected by tho iris. But in very many cases the eye has its normal color from tho moment of the child's birth, and we find grey, brown, or hazel eye among newly-born infants. What Bacteria Arc. JO great majority of thoio micro scopic plants are what botanists call bactcfia, the smallest form of vegeta ble life. So small are they that it would take, in some cases, as many as fifteen thousand of them arranged in a row to extend an inch. They havo different forms, some being round, some oval, some rod-3haped, ami others much the shape of a corkscrew, or spiral. Iu all cases they are so small that ono needs a powerful microscope to study them, and in no case can we perceive them singly with the naked eye. When countless millions of them are grouped together in a mass, or colony, wo can sec them about as we are able to sco at a great distance an approaching army, of which wo aro totally unablo to dis tinguish a single soldier. Wo havo said that these bacteria move about; and this is true of most of them, although there aro some which do not appear to movo at all, but re main fixed whore they find a good feed ing-place. Those that havo motion be have in a very peculiar manner; some wobble about in one placo without moving forward in tho least; others dart hither and thither, back and forth, at an apparently furious rate, rocking and twirling about, and turning a hun dred somersaults as they movo along. Bacteria multiply very rapidly, and they do this in a strange way. A single one breaks itself in two; then each half grows to bo as largo as tho first. Then these, in turn, divide up again, and so on, until from a single one wo have many thousands in a short time. To give you tho figures, such as they are, a singlo ono can multiply at so enormous a rata that in forty-eight hours it can produce something liko 280,000,000,000 of bacteria. Great consequencos follow this enormous in crease of bacteria; for, while one which is so small in itself can do little, tho vast army resulting from the mul tiplication of one is ablo to accomplish much. Turned Into a I'iii Cushion. There is in Georgia a Conlederate General who was literally shot full of pins during the late war. He was an ex temporized pin cushion, but the pins saved his life. On one occasion the General was lying in his tent at niglit. The Federals were near enough to shoot into the camp. It is said he had just finished a letter home and had thrown himself down for n few hours' rest before the hot work that would begin in the early morning, when ping! a minie bullet from a sharpshoot er's rifle sped through the tent and struck the General in his left side. The blow stunned him, and lie lay as dead for a few moments. When he recovered consciousness he felt a stinging pain in his breast, and, tearing open his shirt, found that the ball had struck a package of pins his wife had given him, thinking they would be needful in those days when there was no one to sew and patch, and had driven every one of them into his flesh. They had saved his life, but he was a walking cushion, bristling with pin-heads.— Atlanta Journal. Electrical Phenomena. Remarkable electrical phenomena are witnessed at the new observutory on the steep and isolated Santis in northern Switzerland. Thunder storms are ex tremely frequent; thus in June and July last year only three days were without them. As a rule, thunder peals from midday till evening. The noise is short, partly owing to shortness of flashes and partly to the small amount of echo. The thunder storms come on quite suddenly, in a clear sky. One of the surest indica tions of their approach is the bristling of tire observer's hair. During hail, the iron rods of the house give a hissing sound, associated with luminous effects. The Force of Evaporation. An average of tive feet of water is estimated to fall annually over the whole euth, and, assuming that condensation takes place at an average height of 3000 feet, scientists conclude that the force of evaporation to supply rainfall must equal the lifting of 322,000,000 pounds of water 3000 feet in every minute, or about 300,000,000,000-horse power con stantly exerted. Of this prodigious amount of energy thus created a very small proportion is transferred to the waters that run back through rivers to the sea, and a still smaller fraction is utilized by man; the remainder is dissi pated in space.
