Fish With Lcrs Found in Colorado.
Much consternation and still more
wonder was created in the State House
yesterday morning by .the discovery in
the office of Mrs. Martha A. Shute,
Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture,
of an axolotl, or fish with legs,
which had become metamorphosed into
a salamander. All kinds of theories
to account for its presence there were
broached during the day. Of these
theories the strangest appears to be the
most tenable. This is that the evolut
ed axolotl was taken up by evapora- |
tioxi from a mountain lake near the :
City of Mexico, where its species is i
abundant, to come to earth again in i
Denver with Thursday afternoon's ab- j
normally heavy rainfall. Yesterday
morning, when Janitor Smith opened
the windows in order to air the office
against the arrival of Mrs. Shute, he
beheld an object on the sill outside

I >r Farms in Practice.
It is not generally known, perhaps,
that the Salvation Army has, in Contra
Costa oounty, not very far from Oakland,
a 325-acre farm maintained for
discharged convicts. Fifteen ex-convicts
are now laboring on this farm,
and they have plowed 125 acres, hav<
pruned fruit trees and vines and.havt
poisoned 10,000 squirrels. It is saic
in the official report that the men ar<
working faithfully. At Cotati, in Son- |
oma county, the Salvation Army if j
maintaining thirty men, who are chopping
wood, which will be offered foi !
sale next year, and a farm colony is j
about to be started. These efforts to !
solve the problem of the unemployed j
by giving permanent employment occupy
a plane higher than the mere giving
of temporary employment, like the I
boulevard work in San Francisco, com- I
mendable as that is in its way.?Oakland
(Cal.) Enquirer.
Criminal Finders and Toeg.
Dr. T. Penta lias studied the fingers
and toes of 4500 criminals, and finds a !
deficiency in the size or number of !
toes quite frequent among them, although
very rare among ordinary men. I
He has also observed that prehensile !
toes, marked by a wide space between j
the great toe and the second toe, is a j
condition quite common among criminals;
also a webbed condition of the j
toes. The little toes are rudimentary I

I At the mouth of the River Nervion,
which flows into the Buy of Biscay, between
Portugalete and Las Arenas, a
curious engineering structure has been,
erected within the last few years to
transport passengers, cattle and vehii
cles without interfering with the river
>' traffic. It consists, according to the
Manchester Guardian, of a couple of
towers 200 feet high, one on each bank;
from these a bridge is suspended by
chains at a height sufficient to clear
I the masts of vessels?that is, nearly
150 feet above the water level of the
spring tides. This bridge carries a
line of rails on which a trolley is
pulled to and fro by an engine on the
Las Arenas or northern side. With
it goes a car, hung by steel cables, in
which the passengers take their seats.
This is not wound up to the top, but
stays at the level of the quays. Thus
the transit is effected quickly and regularly,
without the delay inseparable
from a swing bridge. A similar "pont
transbordeur" is to be set up over the
: Seine near Eouen by a French com?

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
How to Make Tea.
Speaking to a member of a large
China house, who was the taster for
his firm, I asked him the proper way
to prepare our tea. "Well," he replied,
"the kettle should just reach

the leaves put in, and the boiling
water poured upon them. They should
stand from five to six minutes to
draw."
Franglpanl.
Frangipani is a pastry cream or custard,
such as is used for the filling; of
eclairs. Take one quart of milk, onehalf
cup of sugar, three tablespoons
flour, two pats of butter and the yolks
of five eggs. Boil until it thickens,
and when partially oool place in it the
pulp of one orange, out in small pieces.
Take a dee^) glass dish and stand lady
fingers upright around the inside, and
in the center lightly heap the frangipani.
Place in ice cheat.
Stewed "Plceons. Served in a Nest.
Skin, clean and joint three nice
pigeors. Place in a pot three slices
of salt pork, cut up fine, brown nioely,
and add one carrot, one small onion,
one stalk of celery, all cleaned and cut
up into dice. On the top of this lay
the pigeons; sprinkle them with one
saltspoonful of pepper, half a teaspoonful
of salt and a blade of pounded
mace; add water enough to cover the
game and simmer gently until tender.
It will probably take three hours.
Make a sauce by rubbing one tablespoonful
of flour into two of melted
butter, and dilute the same with the
pigeon liquor. Boil up. In meantime
have boiled one dozen of macaroni
stalks (broken into two-inch
length pieces) in slightly salted water
for twenty minutes; drain and pour
over them one tablespoonful of melted
butter; heap on a platter to look like
a nest; place pigeons in the nest, pour
over them the strained sauce and serve
immediately.
At this time of year pigeons--can be
purchased, costing less than 12} cents
apiece. Therefore, in preference to
roasted meat, it is a very palatable
dish.?Chicago Kecord.
Baked Ice Cream.
Baked, ice cream, so a cookingschool
teacher demonstrates, may be
made by beating the whites of six eggs
very stiff and dry, and stirring in, by
degrees, six tablespoonfnls of powdered
sugar, all whipped together to a light
meringue. If a brick of very hard
frozen ice is set in this and covered
thickly, entirely, and speedily with
the egg, it may be set?working very
fast?into an oven piping hot and
browned over without the ice cream
melting perceptibly. It will then be I
found to be a most delicious compound j
of soft hot meringue and the firm ice
underneath, but the preparation is
only possible to a rapid yet thorough
worker, since if the meringue falls at
all, or if it does not cover every part
of the brick, the whole is ruined. Another
way of concocting baked ice
croam is to envelop the brick in a
sheet of pastry of paper-like thinness.
This may be baked in the same manner,
in an ovon so hot that it requires
but a second's time to brown the
outer shell. It is less bother to make,
and more apt to be successful, but the
meringue is the better in result, if it
succeeds.?New York Post.
Household Hints.
'Much coal is wasted by keeping
draught on unnecessarily.
Sterilized milk is safer for infants
than is milk simply warmed.
All cold vegetables left over should
be saved for future xiae in soups or
salads.
People of small means can live well
if care is taken that there is no waste
in the kitchen.
Wealthy people spend double as much
as is necessary from lack of care in domestic
matters.
Cold water put into glasses or dishe3
from which eggs have been eaten will
soften the egg and make washing easy
To have a custard pie of an even,
nice brown when baked, sprinkle a little
sugar over the top just before putting
it into the oven.
Carpets and rugs can be as thoroughly
beaten spread on the grass as hung
over a line, and with much less danger
of injury. Id either case they should
be beaten on the wrong side first.
A good jelly may be made from
i rhubarb by boiling to a pulp, strainI
inrr onil nft.p>r uridine ft r>ound of cut
; sugar to each pint of juice boiling,
skimming often, until it jellies on the
skimmer.
All things considered, a solution of
ox gall and warm soft water, in the
proportion of one pint of the former to
two gallons of the latter, is the best
deausing and freshening agent for
carpets. If spots are obstinate, use
white soap also.
Often very rich cream will not whip
up readily; it should have a little milk
added to it. Cream should be very
cold to whip easily and quickly. If it
is well chilled there is not the danger

housekeepers frequently complain it
does.
If tinted willow furniture is very
dusty, wash in clear water, using a
brush in the crevices and dry in the
shade. Willow or rattan furniture in
natural color may be thoroughly
scrubbed with a stiff brush, warm water
and white soap. Dry in the sun andwind.
Military PigeonM.
Such important fortresses as Metz,
Strasburg and Cologne contain 600
pigeons, and the military pigeon or- i
ganiiiation lias been brought to the
greatest perfection in Germany. The
network of pigeon stations is so per- J
feet that even if every railway and
telegraph wire in the German Empire
were in the hands of an enemy, the
principal towns on the frontier could
communicate with one another, and
the capital, Berlin, could keep in
touch with them all by means of the
military carrier pigeon.

Summer Care of Blankets* 6Q
Blankets after the winter use are never let
clean, and should not be ptft away without
being washed. Many housekeepers in view
of the shrinking and discoloring caused
by washing, satisfy themselves with airing It
and shaking their blankets, but this i? th
a great mistake, for If the work Is prop- ^
erly done the soft appearance and whiteness
may be retained for years. -131
The most important consideration In gr
washing blankets is to have plenty of bli
soft water and good soap. An inferior cheap msoap
is really the cause of the injury done
woolen goods in washing, as it hardens and
yellows the fibre. When ready to begin the
work, shake the blankets free of dust, All
a tub nearly full of soft hot water, and dissolve
a third of a cake of Ivory soap in it. po
Put one blanket In at a time and dip up and m(
down, gently washing with the hands. Jr*
Never rub 6oap on blankets, or wash "
on the washboard. After the blankets m<
are clean, rinse them in warm water until
.free of suds. Add a little bluing to the last
water. Shake and squeeze rather than mt
wring, and hang on the line until dry. Then ye
fold and pack away in a box securely to no
exclude the moth. Blankets washed in this m,
way will keep their original freshness and ,

Jnut tike "Wlngn.
Louis Pierre Mouillard, a French
resident of Cairo, has invented a flying c|]
machine, comprising an aeroplane of ?*
concave surfaces, attached to the body
of the aviator and arranged to permit ^
movement of the planes in a horizontal
direction only with reference to the
body of the aviator, the apparatus depending
for support solely upon wind w
pressure, and not upon any downward
thrust upon the air, either by flapping
wings or revolving propeller wheels. le
To a breastplate, provided with an tt
artificial sternum, are hinged wings, tl
each on a vertical axis, so as to be w
capable of forward or backward motion,
the wine frames of aluminum tubing +T
being covered 'with silk or other suit- -w
able fabric. When the planes are ti
thrust forward the aerodrome rises; 01
when they are pulled back it descends. p<
The wings are controlled by a spring, fe
upon -which, the inventor says, "the
life of the aviator depends," and which fc
must be strong enough to holdj the two n(
wings with their edges on a straight ^
line at a speed of twenty-two miles an
hour. The aeroplane can glide upon
the air by a fall from a height suf- to

Noise Means Trouble.
Too often we find that the twin /|S
"silent ateed," as applied to a bicycle,
is something of a misnomer, and that .}
rattle or noise appears to develop in |
