Snakes as Articles of lliet.
Italians, as is well known, are partial
to harmless snakes, an<l liavo no ob
jection to eat thorn cooked. A frittnra,
composed of the common wood ser
vient's flesh, is even regarded as a dainty
by the lower orders in Koine, Florence
and Naples, and is often served up to
them in their dingy restaurants.
Parisians of the inferior classes are
also great eaters of fried snakes, but
unwittingly so, for the reptiles are
palmed off on them as eels. Thus the
apparently appetizing dishes known as
matelotte d'aiiguille and anguille a In
tartar are often in low eaten houses
nothing but harmless snakes, caught
in the wilder part of the Vinceiinon
wood and brought up to a special
market neiir the Plaeede laßepublique.
It is probable, however, that even it
the members of the poorer classes here
who occasionally indulge in fried or
stewed eels were apprised of the fraud
practiced at their expense thsy would
evince no loathing nor even lack of
appetite, seeing that they are ready to
devour not only horse flesh, but meat
of mule, donkey and dog any day in
the week.—London Telegraph.
Tore Down Homes to Buy Fowl.
A Methodist missionary at Pekiu
writes to the Missionary Society's head
quarters in this city that the famine
in North China reduced the people in
some sections to such straits that iti
many cases they tore down their
houses to sell the lumber for food.
"I have never witnessed such abject
misery," he says, "as 1 have seen in
the Pei-Yin district the past- winter.
The people have largely subsisted 011
the 'shin-pai-t7.il' or darnel or tares.
After partaking of it one has a feeling
of satiety, but it does not nourish or
satisfy hunger.
"I have near nie as I write a piece
of bread such as is found in their
homes, made of tares grass.
"The almost annual suffering
throughout this district is caused by
the Hung-Ho, or Muddy River, the
bed of which, on account of constant
silting and dikings, has been raised
some fifteen or twenty feet above the
surrounding country. A break in its
banks causes widespread suffering."
By means of funds sent him, this
missionary was able to give some relief
to 110 families. —New York World.

CTRING HORSK HAIR.
For the curled hair used for mat
iresses the following process in used:
The hair is first washed iu hot water
and softened, and it is then spun into
ropes while wet and warm and kept so
until it gets the required set and curl.
Jt is prepared for use by picking it
apart. The ropes are hard twisted, so
that when they are taken apart the hair
curls up and becomes quite elastic. It
will hardly pay to curl one's own hair,
as it may be purchased more cheaply
than it can be gathered by any person
not in the business. Most ot the
"horse" hair in the market is the pro
duct of horned cattle, the switch of the
tail being used for this purpose.—New
York Times.
AN INDEFATIOABI.F INSECTICIDE.
A crow had a nest in the woods just
before my door, and drew his mate's and
young ones' food from my pasture,
writes K. S. Gilbert. He would walk
along picking up insects or something
right and left, often having to make
quite an effort to swallow them. A few
minutes, and he spread his wings for
home and the squawing of his mate
showed that she was being fed. Then
back he came for more. How many
trips he made per day I do not know,
but a good many. I often tried to see
what he was picking up, and he allowed
me to come within three rods; but he
was so quick I couldn't see and my big,
shiny telescope was just an bad as a gun
in his opinion; lie started for the
woods the moment he saw it coming.
Thus he worked steadily day after day,
and though it seems incredible that
Ixis big mouthfuls were all cut worms
or white grubs, I do not know what
else they could have been.—New York
Tribune.
FOOD FOR POVIJTRY.
The most expensive of nil food we
find to be barley, an naturel. Not
only is a considerable proportion
thrown about and wasted but much
that is swallowed is never digested,
We therefore give it as a change and
an indulgence, and by no means as the
staple of their food. Indian meal is
the best staple, according to our ex
perience. It is well scalded, that the
swelling may be done before eating,
instead of after, thus avoiding various
maladies and perils from overeating.
Broken rice, well boiled, is good to a
certain extent.
Malt dust is a valuable resource.
The demand is becoming so great that
probably it will soon cease to boa
cheap food; but while it remains so it
is a real boon both to the fowls and their
owners. They will eat almost any
thing that is sprinkled with malt dust,
and a six-shillings sack of it goes a
long way. A certain proportion of
green food, and also of animal food, is
indispensable. Lettuce leaves, turnip
tops, cabbage leaves, celery, should be
thrown to them. They should have
access to grass, to pick seeds and in
sects ; and it is well to put a fresh sod
into the poultry yard whenever such a
valuable thing may be spared,
All the worms and insects that come
in the gardener's way should be pre
sented to them ; and when insects are
scarce scraps of raw meat minced as
fine as pin's heads should bo given.
Add finely chopped eggs for infant
cbieks and I think the bill of fare is
complete. As for the pepper corn,
which old wives recommend as the first
thing to be swallowed, we reprobate
the notion as we should in the case of
any other newborn creature. In fact,
it irritates t lie crop very mischiev
ously if it gives out its savor, anil if it
does not dissolve it is nothing.—
American Poultry Yard.
WHICH IS TITE BEST COW?
Every once in a while some dairy
man remarks that he docs not need a
i test to tell him which are the best
dairy cows; he can tell by looking at
them. He just sells the fat ones and
keeps the thin ones. Quite often this
is the standard by which cows are
judged: the thinner they are when giv
ing milk tlio better dairy cows they are
considered. There is, of course, some
reason in this. We know that a cow
that uses her food to put flesh 011 her
back, instead of putting milk and fat
into the pail, is not the most profit
able cow for the dairy. But to jump
to the conclusion that because a cow
is poor iu fiesh she must of necessity
be a good dairy cow is drawing a con
clusion that is not justified by facts.
There are some beef cows that will
eat a good ration every day and keep
in just fairly good condition, while
there are others in the same herd that
on the same feed keep their ribf
and backs nicely covered with fiesh.
The latter are good feeders and the
former poor feeders. The latter havt
the nntual ability to make better use
of their feed than the former ; they
have feeding quality.
It is just the same with dairy cows,
some are good feeders and some arc
poor feeders. Some keep thin in tlesli
because they are using the greatei
part of their food to make milk and
fat while others stay in poor flesh sim
ply because they have not the natural
feeding quality to assimilate and digest
tlieir food. It is folly to judge of the
dairy qualities of a cow by the amount
of flesh she carries. There is but on*
accurate way to determine the valm
of a cow for tho dairy, and that is ti
ascertain the number of pounds o
butter fat she yields in a year from s
given amount of feed.
The cow that yields the greatest
amount of butter fat per year for tin
least cost per pound is the most valu
able cow for the dairyman, and ii
does not matter whether she keeps fa'
enough for the butcher or so thintha
her ribs can be counted. It does no'
matter whether she weighs five hun
dred pounds or a ton; whether sin
has the beef form or the so-called dain
form ; whether she is black or white
spotted or fawn colored, red or briu
died. Performance is the only reliabh
standard.—Rocky Mountain Husband
man.
THE BEST BEANS.
C. 13. Hunn, of Geneva, N. Y., writ
ing in Garden and Forest, says:
"Few vegetables have been hybrid
| ized or selected with greater care than
the bean, and varieties suitable for
| several purposes have been developed,
| until little improvement now seems
! possible. Among snapbeans, the new
! yellow-podded wax varieties, which
1 are almost cylindrical in shape, solid
yet tender, and of the finest fibre and
| flavor, are quite superior to.the old
time flat, green-podded and' stringy
varieties. Among the beat,'varieties
are Wardwell's Kidney Wax, .Yosemito
Mammoth Wax, Golden Wax (and Per
fection. Of shell beans, tho < best are
Dwarf Horticultural; Golden 1 Cluster,
which is very productive mid'bears flat
beans about two-thirds as large as
Henderson's Bush Sieva, meaty and
well flavored ; Hemisphere, a bean al
most round, but solid and of extra
quality, half of it being light brown in
color, splashed with red. This color
would detract from its value as a mar
ket variety, but iu the processof cook
ing the color to a great extent disap
pears, so that it is one ofithe very best
j for the kitchen garden. On the sta
tion grounds, as the main- experiment
crop for the past four years, a pure
white beau has been grown which has
proved of extra quality, and produc
tiveness. It is very hardy and isproof
| thus far against the awthraenose, so
prevalent throughout this section. It
j lias been called the Hatt beau, after its
originator, but I am not aware that it
| lias been offered for saletunder any
J name, although it should lie more
j generally known.
"The search and selection | necessary
for a true Dwarf Lima beau has been
successful, and it would now seem
hardly necessary to grow thcipoleLima
bean. The latter come to maturity a
trifle earlier than the bush"type when
both are planted together,\it is true,
but the dwarf varieties may, Ibe started
[earlier, either in common beds or iu
I inverted sods, or in pots in the kitchen
ior greenhouse. When planted out
they can be protected from early or
j late frosts with ease so that the season
I of bearing can be lengthened out by
the same method. Cheap ulotli pro
tection or wide boards can be used
against frost. Two distinct types of
these beans are now offered by seeds
men, Burpee's Bush Lima, with large
flat pods, well tilled with beans, and
resembling the old garden Lima, and
Dreer's or Kumerlv's Dwarf Lima,
with shorter pods and beans resembling
in shape Dreer's Improved Lima.
| Either of these can be grown in the
kitchen garden, and for market they
j will certainly crowd out tho climbing
! varieties, since many more can be
J planted on the same area and no cx
| pense is necessary for poles."

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
For chapped or scratched teats ap
ply cream or fresh butter.
| Give the colt some nice, bright oats,
where it can get at them handy.
| The colt should have a good yard,
| lot or pasture to feed and exercise in.
ft. is not necessarily true that "skim
; milk calves make pot-bellied ear
! suckers."
If you raise sheep for wool, breed
1 merinos; if for mutton, breed the
j heavy type.
Market only the best of your pro
; duce and put it up in the most attrac
tive manner.
Pet the colt, so it will learn to know
j that you do not mean to hurt it. Do
j not scare nor tease it.
Do not skim-milk your calves too
■soon. Let them have some new milk
i I'or at least two weeks.
A cow abused will not do her best.
I To make you money each cow should
! be allowed to do her best.
A nervous cow will "give down"
j milk better if in a quiet place securely
j fastened and milked very gently.
[ Early shearing is very desirable. It
| relieves the sheep of ticks and enables
the owner to take precautions against
scab.
Halter break the colt while young,
so that it will stand quietly tied. If
' you have been kind to it, it will soon
learn to lead.
It requires grain to make pork or
beef, but mutton of the finest quality
can be made of nibbles here and there
| of such stuffs as would otherwise be a
j waste.
Pack your fruit honestly if you want
j to succeed. When you think you have
j secured a good customer don't palm
j off an inferior article on him. If you
! do you are sure to lose him.
In buying or exchanging sheep give
I a thorough examination for scabs,
ticks, lice and foot rot before turning
; them into the flock, or you may be
getting more than you kuew of.
A Feat in Carving.
- I In all branches of sport beating the
; previous record is a performance of al
■ most every-day occurrence, and no
matter how excellent the achievement
j it is not likely to remain long unclial
i lenged and unconquered. The estab
lishment of a new kind of record, al
■ though not strictly within the realms
of actual sport, cannot therefore fail to
1 interest that large class of speculators
who are ever ready to discover some
• thing new 011 which to stake their spare
I cash.
t A wealthy young Cuban recently
made a bet with the carver of one of
the leading night restaurants on the

i make 2000 complete sandwiches in
[ twenty-four hours.
t The carver won the bet easily, ac

TREATING SII.VER AVI) PLATE.
Sinco so much sterling silver and
plate enters into some part of the table
cutlery it is necessary that one should
also keep in mind the best methods of
treating it, says the Ladies' Home
Journal. A perfectly safe substance
for cleaning this metal will always be
found in French whiting. For all
ordinary purposes such whiting, wet
with water, is all that is necessary;
but if the silver is very much dis
colored it should be wet with alcohol.
This will give a brilliant polish. It is
important that the materials used to
clean silver should be perfectly free
from any gritty substance. The whit
ing should be sifted through a hnir
sieve or a piece of muslin to insure
against anything that might scratch
the plate. Silver, as well as steel,
must bo washed perfectly clean before
being rubbed with the polishing
material. A soft silver brush will be
required for brushing the chased and
repousse work which is found on nearly
all the silver-handled knives.
TO BANISH DUST.
A weary and perhaps ultra-fastidious
| housekeeper, who was asked what her
j idea of heaven was, promptly re
| sponded: "A place where there is no
! dust," says the Baltimore Herald. As
j long, however, as we do remain on
this earth dust is a more aggressive
and ever-present enemy than either
moths or rust. At least every fortnight
walls and cornices, the tops of windows
and doors should have their entire
services gone over with a clean broom
encased in a bag of cotton flannel.
Pinning a cloth about the broom is an
unsatisfactory makeshift, besides which
the fuzzy nap of the cloth catches and
retains the dust better than old muslin,
and does not force it to fly about the
room only to settle somewhere else, as
is the case when the work is done with
a feather duster.
l)on't let your love of the beautiful
tempt you to the use of colored
flannel, because you want to see when
it is dirty and send it to the wash.
Three of these bags will not be too
many, as a broom covered with one
is the best means for removing the
dust each morning from polished or
stained doors.

A dark, handsome gentleman, with
Hide-whiskers and a foreign air, stepped
into the telegraph office on the Co
lombian Fair grounds at Chicago, ami
asked courteously:
"Is this the office of the telegraph,
senor ?"
"It ain't anything else," carelessly
replied the operator, one of those
choice essences of Chicago whose only
perfume is crudity.
"I would send a telegram," said the
stranger, quietly.
"Would you?" drawled the op
erator; "well, why don't you send it?"
The visitor's heavy eyebrows raised,
but he said quietly: "How manj of
the words have I permit to send foi
twenty-five of the cents?"
"Ten," snapped the operator,
shortly.
"Only so few as ten?" asked the
stranger. "They gave twelve to twenty
abroad, senor."
"Ten words for a quarter, or she
don't go," snarled the operator. "How
much do you want for twenty-five
cents?"
The visitor's dark eyes gleamed dan
gerously and his firm lips closed.
"I send but ten of the words for
that money, then senor?"
"Yes."
"And the name, does it go free,
senor ?"
"Yes."
A strange smile chased itself around
the corners of the haughty mouth, and
picking up a pen the stranger quietly
wrote:

Farmer Versus Itaker.
A certain baker in business in a
small town in Normandy obtained his
supply of butter from a farmer in the
neighborhood. One day he discovered
that the pats, which were supposed to
weigh three pounds eoeh, were not up
to the standard, and further examina
tion revealed a steady diminution in
the daily provision. At last the baker
lodged a formal complaint against the
farmer, and the affair was brought be
fore the local court.
"Have you scales?" inquired the
magistrate.
"Y'es, Monsieur le Juge," was the
reply.
"And have you any weights?" con
tinued the Judge, An answer this
time in the negative was as promptly
given.
"But how did you manage to weigh
your butter?" asked the magistrate.
Then the farmer related that evei
since the baker had taken his butter he
had returned the compliment by buy
ing his bread. The baker supplied
him with three-pound loaves, and lit
had used them as weights for his but
ter. "It is his fault, not mine, if the
weight is not correct," added the
farmer, who was speedily acquitted
and left the court in triumph with an
escort of friends anil admirers. Sinct
this trial the farmer is said to have
been supplied with more than his due
provision of bread; but he has taken
good care not to fall into the opposite
error, and the baker has now his three
pound pats of butter, full weight, but
not an ounce more.—London Tele
