This will bo done by Prof. Wiley, chief of Iho Bureau of Chemistry of the Agriculture Department, who Is to test the physiological effects of the use of preservatives on meat. Tho work to be carried out to decide what ground there is objections of tho German gov ernment to American meats. Tiie twelve young men selected are volunteers, and all are young and vigorous.

Six will be fed on "pure" foods untreated meats aud vegetables, while the other six will partake of the same fare submitted to chemical treatment. This ar rangment will continue for two weeks, and then the government boarders will change their diet, at the end of another two weeks reversing their diet again. The men will be weighed before each meal and carefully notes will be taken of their appearance each day. Professor Wiley, in speak ing of the experiments, said: "Tho best food obtainable will be given to the boys. The fare will not be lavished, but will be above that of the average board ing house, and will include all the vegetables and meats of the sea son. "The experiments will be con ducted by the government to demonstrate what effects borax, salicylic acid, formaldehyde, ben zoic acid, benzoate of soda, sul purous acid and other chemicale used for preserving food-stuffs have on the health of tho consumers. A LITTLE NONSENSE. What the Wind Recently Accom plished In Michigan. A Wheatland farmer says that upon entering his pigpen immedi ately after the passage of tho cy clone a few weeks ago he was sur prised to find what he at first sup posed was a new species of swine. Ilia porkers had been driven so full of splinters a to Be scarcely rec ognizable. A ninn sitting in a back window of his residence just out of the path of the twister saw his cows, which were grazing in a neighboring field, go sailing skyward. They landed on an adjoining farm and. began grazing again. Ho has not yet recovered from his astonishment. . 'Do you know the reason thev couldn't find that piano?" asked a man in the barber shop. "I was standing in front of the hotel at Manitou Beach when I heard some thing that sounded like music di rectly overhead.

According to a gentleman who has spent many years in the gold fields, th average digger would bear comparison with some of our best debaters.

In airing beds the most thorough, careful housekeeper often em through her very thoroughness. She ill shako tho sheets, blankets, etc., and hang them out of the window and over chairs, having them all'ex- poscd as much as possible to the direct rays of the sun and in the strongest breeze, and this is just hat should be done. Then the pil lows will bo taken up and thumped until they are soft and Hairy end placed in . the very sunniest spot, and this is all wrong. The sun will draw tho oil from the feathers, and the pillows will have a rancid, dis agreeable odor. Exposo them to tho air daily, bo as thorough as you plouso in this, and place the pillow- lins in tiie sun if you wish, but do not make the mistake of giving pil lows, bolsters, cushions or anything containing feathers a long sun both or you will do them more harm than good. Exchange. Rolled Jelly Cake. Three eggs, one cupful of sugar, three tiiblespoonfuls of cream or one tablcspoonful of melted butter and one cupful of pastry Hour and one level tcaspoouful of baking powder sifted together. Beat the yolks of the eggs until they are thick and light, add the sugar and beat again. Beat the whites of the eggs until they are stilf, mix them with the yolks and sugar and beat all to gether until very light. Stir in the cream or melted butter and then sift in the Hour, adding it u little at time. Butter long, shallow pans and spread tho dough on them very thin. Bake in a moderate oven; when it is done turn it out, spread the bottom with jelly and roll it up while it is warm. Trim off the edges and put it away so it will not unroll until ready to serve. Novel Pincushion. Children's toy scales can be made into most novel pincushions at a ery small cost. Procure some verv thin pasteboard and cut it into the form of weights, the size varying according to the size of the scales. The pieces of card must be neatly covered with dark iron colored silk and joined together. Next make a silk pud to bo filled with wadding or sawdust and insert it on the top of tho weights, gluing it firmly ill. A tiny ring sowed in the middle gives tho weight a realistic appearance, and tho number of pounds it repre sents can be painted on the side. The pins arc placed in tho pad and the whole weight glued into the scales. The scales can be prevented from moving up and down by means of a little gilt wire fixing them in place. A Bedroom "8ettle." An ingenious and convenient sub stitute for a "settle" in a sleeping apartment where space is limited is made in this way: Have a broad, stout shelf with sidelike arms at tached by a carpenter to tho foot board of tho bedstead at. the samo height as tho regulation settle or corner seat. If the board be of tho same variety of wood as the heuV stead, so much tho better; otherwise it may be stained to match. Make a cushion for this seat or pile it with cushions and it will mako ft comfortable resting place. Homemade Porch 8creen. A porc.li screen can be made at home by covering an old frame or new one. on the inner side of which the cabinet maker has put a wide bookshelf, with denim, rice matting or Japanese calico. The screen of the poster collector is also a neat thing, made by the devotee herself, the posters being irregu larly arranged on a foundation of thin wood and protected by lengths of glaBS the exact size of the screen, each panel framed in oak or cherry, hand carved. Candles In the Room. It is always well to have a candle in the bedroom whether oil, gas or electricity is burned. In the case of an emergency it will always be just what is wanted, and at the same time it is clean, safe and cheap. Have low, pluin candlesticks, which are easy to keep clean, with a base broad enough to catch the dirt and be a safe receptacle for the matches. To carry a candle from one room to another is always a safer plan than to carry a lamp. New York Herald. An Artlstlo Screen. An artistic screen recently de signed for a summer cottogo is made of gray blue linen. It is a three fold screen and on each fold un in ner panel is drawn, leaving a wide margin. This is outlined irregular ly with Kilt. Within tho center panel a sketchy design of cedar branches is painted, starting at the bottom. A bit of gilt appears here and there on the foliage, and to tho entire panel a greenish blue wash lias been applicl.
