FROM ,A, PRIVATE `NOTE BOOK.
To make a lemon pie with» rice flour
two eggs are required, a cup of sugar,
2 small lemons or 1 large one, a lurap
of butter and a heaping tableepoon of
rice flour. Put the rice flour in a
cup, mix it with a littls cold water
aeld then fill tip the cup with water
which is actually boiling. It will not
tbacken like cornstarch, but wilt cook
enough to keep it from settling at the
bottom of the pie. Add to this a tea-
spoon of butter, stirring until it is
m.elted. Beat, together the sugar
and. eggs, add the juice of the lemon
and. its grated rind, lastly the prepared
rice flour. When cool, bake in one
crust. The chief advantage of this
recipe is its monomy of materials and,
time; although it is creamy and de-
lectable it does not pretend to vie with
those mering,ue-covered pasties which
contain five or six eggs.
Asparagus tips previously cooked and
seasoned. make a very delightful scat -
bap. Roll cracker erumbs to an BX-
ceeding fineness; while rolling add
salt, pepper and a trifle of mace. But-
ter the crumbs amply and place a lay-
er in the bottom of a buttered dish.
Wet with sufficient railk. Put alter-
nate crumbs and asparagus until the
dish is full. or the ingredients exhaust-
ed. Dot batter over the top, add» a
final baptism of milk -for all scallops
should be freely moistened -and, bake
until the scallop is well risen in the
middle, round and brown.
Why throw away the water in whiola
macaroni is boiled? It is rich in glu-
ten, nutritious, and adds to the value
of other food. It may be teemed into
the soup stock; it: may, while still boil-
ing hot, be used. to scald the flour with
which you are about to set your
spunge for bread; or it: may, with, the
addition of more hot water, be used
to »Wash calicoes in place of soap, to

To' make pepper toast for invalids
who need food the reverse of laxative,
cut stale white breati into slices of

of black pepper, upon which pour a

cover the toast. Dip the slices in

a plate, buttering each slice as» you re-

A,. navel but simple soup is made of
onions and oatmeal. It is easy to snake
econornioal and much mere savory than
might be supposed. They who wish
to experiment may fry two large cups
of chopped onions with a heaped table-
spoou of meat drippings or butter in
the bottont of the soup kettle; when
quite brown, add two cups coarse oat-
• meal, and this must also be stiered
red until well browned; it is the
browning or parching which flavors
the soup pleasantly. Now add suffi-
cient boiling water to well cover, and
let it boil at least a half hour, adding
more boiling water ehould it thicken
too much. Se.ason while cooking with
salt and. pepper and at the last min-
ute add a cop of hot milk. Have dice

upon them pour the hot soup.

HOW TO MARE SROES WEAR -
Considerable difference will be
found in the wearing qualities of two
pairs of senes of the same quality and
naake woru by different persons. No
shoes worn continuously in the hone()
and outdoors will give as much wear
as a pair of shoes worn ona dey and
them left to rest a day. It
saves money to wear cheap house
shoes within doors and lot the shoes
worn outdoors rest and get back into
shape while the owner :is within doors.
Keep an old pair of shoes to wear
under India rubbers. The perspira-
tion of the feet which India rubber
excites ruins good leather. Select
strong' calfskin, end keep it well oiled
in winter fax outdoor shoes.
LOW shoes are better fax houae wear,
because they give the foot a chance to
be ventilated, as the hand is. In spite
of its continual exposure, the hand is
not afflicted as the foot so often is
with corns, callous place's and chil-
blains. This is because rt is continu-
ally exposed to the air. Even when
kul gloves are worn they do not com-
press the hand. so much as the average
boot does the foot; and they are not
worn continually as a boot is. .
• CENTENARIANS IN SPAIN.
Mere to be Found There Titan In Any
• Country isit the World.
Would you like to live to the age
of Methuselah? Then according to the
latest authority on the subject of long-
evity, you shaold spend the remain-
der of your days in the south of Spain.
According to statistics which have
just been published in Madrid, Spain,
is wonderfully rich in centenarians.
The compiler, indeed, estimates that'
there are twenty-five centenarians to
every millioa inhabitants. Moreover,
this proportion has been constantly.in-
creasing during the last half century.
In 1857 there were twelve centenarians
to every million; in 1867 there were
113.97 and in 1877 the number rose ate
high as 29.87, Fax a few years efter
1877, the proportion was not as great
as usual, but since 1889 it hes recov-
ered almost all ot its lost ground.
Centenarians thrive better in, some
parts of the country tban in others.
In Andalusia there are More than any-
where else. In Magda the propor-
tion is something like one hundred to
every n:tillion of inhabitants.On the
other hand there is not a single cen-
tenarian in the province of Soria, Ala-
va and Teruel, Broadly speaking, it
may be said that centenarians flour-
ish best in the country south of the
Sierra Morena, the proportion there -be-
ing approximately from fifty to sixty
to every million of inhabitants. In the
north, on the contray, it is very rare,
nay, almost impossible, to find e.sin-
gle centenarian.
USE FOR VOLCANO DUST.
Volcanic dust carried by the wind
from the mountains of Puy in Auver-
gne enriches the soil of Limagne with -
phosphoric acid and potash. Accord-
ing to M. Nivois, Inspector Genera/ of,
Mines in France, it is owirig to this
naurtal fertilizer that the soil is so
rieh. A tield at Gerzat, Clermont-
Ferrand, has yielded a fine crop of
ernp 18 years running without arty
other manure.

will ask that the subject receive the
earnest thought at every Canadian
farmer, so that, if possible, by taking
warning from the mistakes of the old
83 mittens, and even our forefathers in
our own country, we may place our
fair Dominion at the head of the list
among the agricultural countries of the
world., by- maintaining, and even in-
creasing her soil productiveness.
Original soils were but rock ground
up, disintegrated» by the action of the
eleraents, air, fire, frost and water;
also naore or less by microbio action.
This ground up rook, carried by the
floods and lesser flows, formed banks
or deposits, which the waters, reeled --
bag, left as a resting place for ani-
mal life to follow. The coarser parts
sinking earlier in the stera.ms, and the
finer parts being carried further • on,
accounted for the various grades of
soil. The kin.d of rook from, which they
came governed the class of soil, as, for
instance, the feldspathic rock -forming
clay. Tb,ese original soils were clearly
mineral only and would certainly be
eventing in one of the important ele-
ments necessary to the growth of such
types of plants as we mostly grow for
our use. I refer to nitrogen, which
seems to be entirely an element of
the atraoaphere, which is nearly 80 per
Cent, nitrogen, and can only be tak-
en up by plants after becoming fixed,
in some form in the earth. This is
worth nothing, for it suggests area -
son in nature fax such' a "nitrogen fix-
ing " class of paints as the clovers aaed
their brothers, the peas, vetches and
beans, which can flourish on the min-
eral elements alone in the soil and
get their nitrogen from corctparative-
ly low forms of mierobic life.
Before pursuing this line of thought
furtlaer it becomes necessary to im-
press upon our minds the elements en-
tering into plant and animal life, or
at least the principal ones as under-
stood. Plants and animals utilize some
thirteen of the elements of the air and
soil, but only four of them, cornpris-
ing about 3 per cent. of the make-up,
are usually considered. The reason_ for
this is that the rest of the atmospher-
ic elements can be easily acquired, and
that the rest of the mineral or soil
elements are in abundance in the soils.
By-and-by, when We know more Of the
science of plant life, we may- discov-
er that the availability of these abun-
dant mineral elements may require
consideration, as the necessities of an
expanding population on the world de-
mands morelood. e
'
Eta. the present, honrever, we will try»
and work within the hounds of what
we know. Of these four elements then;
nitrogen gives as what we term grotlie
iness or size.; 'Potash' induces • flashy

er substances during growth', finally

PLANING 'A DAIRY HOtTSE.
The, oldef points are ventilation; sun-
shine, drainage and insulation, writes
Mr. E. C. Bennett. Ventilation can be
secured by means of windows, and one
at least should if possible be on the
south side, • so as to permit the sun
to shine in when desired, yet SD ar-
ranged as to exclude the direct sun-
shine when rteeeS8a3'y. Sunshine is ab-
solutely neoessaky to keep the dairy
utensils sweet and free from mold
germs. Most of the utensils can be
carried outside and. exposed to the sun,
but the churn cermet.
To secure drainage experience shows
that an inclined floor with a glitter
into 'which all slop and wash water
will rum saves a great deal of work.
This gutter » conneets with a drain
which conveys the water to a distance.
If 11 is impossible to drain in this
way, the wash water can be caught
outside in a slop tub set on a stone
boat., and hauled away. Insulation is
necessary to prevent changes in tem -
of the outside air ifrom at-
fecting the milk and cream. This is

Farmers about to build a barn not
unfrequently' inquire if it is advis-
able ,to arrange for tile cows itt the
basement. By all mearts, no. In the
arrangement and construct:len of the
barn special» attention should be giv-
en to ventilation and eenligha. Fail -

sooner or later in decreased healthful-

MILLS IN THE SCOTCH HIGHLANDS,
The Preselect to Use Waterfalls to Generate
• Electrical Power.
Waterfalls are being used more and
more to produce electrical power.
Switzerland has no coal with which to
naake steam to run her industries, and
so. her waterfalls have been the tlriv-
ing force. They are now beginniug
to be used, still more effectively to pro-
duce electricity •as 'a motive power.
The rapids and falls of the upper
Rhine are now generating electricity
„which is used, in the mills of that re-
gion. •A large enterprise is also on
foot for the production of electricity, 1.
the Scottish Highlands by means of
water power. It raay not be sovery
long before the prediction of • Lord
Kelvin that "the productiou of elec-
tricity by means of waterfalls will
some da aer attract prosperous popula-
tion to • the Scottish Ili•glalands" will
OMB true. •
The British Parliarae,nt has before it
the project to obtain electrical power,
equal to 38,000 horse power, by means
of the chain a .10ohs along the bor-
der of Perth and Argyll counties to
the west of the Grampian Mountains.
The most important of these lochs is
Ericht, whioh has a length of about
seventeen miles, its waters discharging
into Loch. Rannoch and. then into the
Tay. It is proposed, to build a large
dam at the extreme south of »the loch,
turning it into a great reservoir, and
then to pass the accumulated war
tare fax below in the valley through
au aqueduct to the • electric plant,

follow the same course with all the

In our Western mining regions the

utilization of water power to produce

convinced at last of its economy and
merits, and electric street cars are
beginning to appear on the streets of
a few cities. In January last the ex-
perimental line that has been build-
ing in Liverpool was started. It is
two anda half miles in
length, has a double track,
and, as Ibe» lite is already successful,
it is expected that electricity will sup-
ersede horse power on the entire street
railroad system. Electric street cars
were also introduced on the streets of
Glasgow in October last.
Germany has bean rauch wider
awake, and. while electric street cars
in, England are still 18 the experimen-
tal stage, sixty-eight cities of Ger-
many have introduced them with great
success, and in thirty-five other cities
o.r districts these railroads are now in
course of construction. Most of the
industrial cities of Westphalia and the
Rhine province are connected by a
network of electric roads which serve
not only fax passengers, but also for
freight traffie.
PLANS NAPOLEO.NIC.
A. erratic French, soribbler comes out
in the Revue Des Deux Mondes with
a »new scheme to take Westminster Ab-
bey. It is no less than a project to
embark some 500,000 men in jolly boats
and hurls them across the channel in
a body. Torpedo boats having clear-
ed the way, winde and weather being
propitious, and no stupid Albion on
hand to repel, it is believedetbat • the
thing might have chance,s of success.
Quick -firing guts are to be the only
artillery besides the torpedo tubes.
,Just what the Channel Squadron of the
British navy would do is not said.

• A CHINESE PRAYER.
12 Was Inotred By the First Sight ot 11
Iltcycte.
A Baptist missionary once sent home
an account of a prayer offered •by
Wang Cheng Sui on the occasion of
the visit of two Americans who were
on a tour around» the world on bi-
cycles. After the bieyelists had rale
den to the mission station Wang pray-
ed;
"We thank Thee, Qtir heavenly Fa-
ther, that our eyes have this day seen
the real pattern of the 'eeliagoing
cart' of the ancients. What myster-
ious wisdom is Thine ! How willing
ThOu art tO itapart knowledge Lo
men! But our eine hinder The, reve-
lations I, how stupid have we become
through serving Satan 80 long I Dearly
years have we tiered, and yet to -day
for the first time lutve we seen this
marvel of Thy skill; 'which llas enabled
Thy servants in» Lbe West to under-,
stand. Forgive bur Sine. Restore us to
Thy ta.Vor. Communicate to tie, also,
Thy mysteries, and let us share in the
wonderful inventions by which • Thou
dust, make Thy munu glorious amongst
those who serve Thee. Let 1.4S be in+
trusted with Tby secrets, and possess
the power of the ancients; se will all
our countrymen come to know taa
we have found, the right path, arta are
eervents ot the true God."
The missionary taillike it very likely
that suob p re ye r wili pro yoke eml le
but Lie bide us believe that Wang was
itt red -bot earaest, and that he simply
felt that he had witmeseed a miracle
and was giving Goa the glory.

SPANISH GARROTE.
Rolle of Modern rarbarism Unearthed
Front Au Old novana Prison.
Among the many relics of the Span-.
isle war taken to the Governor's pal-
ace, for cataleguing, none is attraot-
ing more attention. in Havana just now
than the old official garrote. The ma-
chine has been in active service for
more then a century, the last execu-
tioner, an aged negro convict, having
presided at 70 ceremonies. The garrote
itself is a shabby enough old trap, con-
eisting mainly of rusty iron and an
planed board or two. The Done are
awfully punctilious in regard to form,
but scandalously careless of appear-
anee: A judge who might have sev-
en of fits if he should omit one
eyllable 6T Ilea enterminebly long ha-
rangue deliVered at the soene of the
judielal murder, would calmly, offici-
ate at the same time in a ooudition
whion to the untrained °Rectories of
the Yankees might savor of the hum-
ble animal the Dons have deelared we
resemble. Thus it is that the garrote
is simple to excess. It is about 10feet
high all told. The platform, which is
four feet from the ground, is some
six feet square. Attaehed to the iron
column W114.011 TUI1S tbrougb and min -
ports this is tan iron elan.. Two feet
above this is the fatal screw. The eel- •
pxit (a) is seated in this eltair with
his hands and feet firmly tied, and
his eyes blindfolded. Al, the proper mo-
ment, a twirl is given the screw, which
pentratees his neck and breaks his spin-
al column. The operation may or may
not be very paluful. If it were., not
for .the peculiarly fiendish mahner 111
which the affairs were conclueted there
is reason to believe Lien the garrote
is less inhuman, than either the rope
or the chair. It is the Spanish wha
have thrown the method into odium.
