D. H. RUSSELL, School Com. COOKED CUCUMBERS. Delicious Dishes to be Mads From Vegetable Usually Eat?n Raw. As the warm weather advances, lighter foods are required, and as many fresh vegetables and fruits as can be added to the bills of fare are desired to cool the heated diners. The cucumber is classed among the con demned vegetables, as it is regarded by many as indigestible when eaten uncooked. Few know that the cucum ber may be made healthful and nutri tious. To make stewed cucumbers, take four good-sized cucumbers, peel them and cut into halves lengthwise; then quarter them and take out the large seeds with the end of a pointed knife; pour a little lemon juice on each piece, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cover with a slight dusting of flour. Put the pieces of cucumber in a spider and nearly cover them with a good stock. Cover the dish ard cook the cucumbrs slowly three-quarters of an hour, or until they are tender; lift them carefully out and place on pieces of fried bread cut the size of the vege table and put them where they will keep warm. Add to the stock a tea spoonful of browned flour, four tea spoonfuls of stewed and strained to matoes, a dish of mace, salt and pep per to taste and a gill of sherry wine. Pour around the cucumbers and serve at once. A favorite English dish is stewed cucumbers with cream sauce. Peel the cucumbers and lay them in ice water for an hour; then cut them into half inch slices and put in a saucepan of boiling water and let them timmer 15 minutes. Drain off the water and turn over the cucumbers half a cup of boiling water, one teaspoonful of butter and salt and pepper; cover and let them steam a few minutes over the back of the fire while the sauce is be ing prepared. Melt one tablespoonful of butter in a small pan and stir into it a spoonful of flour, gradually .?tir in one cup of cream or rich milk, season with salt and a little cayenne pepper and flavor with lemon juice. Turn the cucumbers into a heated dish in which have been placed little squares of but tered toast and pour the sauce over the whole. Serve immediately. .For fried cucumbers, peel the cu cumbers and cut them lengthwise in slices half an inch thick, and let them lie, in ice water half an hour. Then wipe them with a soft cloth and rub with salt and pepper. Dip each piece in beaten egg and then in fine crumbs. Fry them in hot fat in a spider, brown ing one side, and then turn with a broad-bladed knife and brown on the other side. The slices should never be pierced with a fork. Cucumbers may be fried also ia but ter. Cut the cucumbers crosswise in half-inch slices and lay them in ice water. Make a batter of one cup of milk, one beaten egg, a generous salt spoonful of salt, a little pepper and about one and one-half cupfuls of sift ed flour; stir until it is free from lumps. Drop the pieces of cucum bers in this batter and see that all parts are well covered before dropping a few at a time, into hot lard. Cook until a golden brown. Then take them out with a wire spoon and drain on brown paper in a hot oven until aliare cooked. Another delicious way is as follows: When the slices are taken from the ice water and dried, rub with salt and pepper and dredge with a little flour and fry them brown in melted butter. When all cooked, pile on a hot shal low dish and serve the following to mato sauce with them : Peel three to matoes, remove the seeds, chop the pulp fine and drain. Mix together three-fourth s of a teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of sugar, one-fourth of mustard, a dash of pepper and a lit tle onion juice if desired, and moisten ?$ith a little lemon juice and oil. Mix . : 'h the drained tomatoes and keep ft cold p^ace until Ber?Sia??^T jj* ? HKQ attractive way/T^ TtV -^JV.VM^-j servi! the Bee rs rffrffffrSWe from a cucum agf To prepare the boat, take a large ||||?mber, and after it has been wash . horoughly, cut a piece from one and scoop out enough of the in to leavo a wall around a half-inch gp.. Fill the shell with thc tomato ?*5S:e and stand it on a dish covered with lettuce or curly parsley. Baked cucumbers are delicious. Peel good-sized eucumbers, cut them in two lengthwise and remove the seeds and soft part, keeping the shape perfect. To three cucumbers take three-quarters of a cup of fine, soft bread crumbs and rub into them a piece of butter the size of a small egg and a little finely-chopped onion; sea son with pepper and salt and a dash of cayenne pepper. When thoroughly mixed fill each half of the cucumbers heating it; sprinkle browned crumbs over the top with some tiny bits of butter and place them in a baking pan with a little water and bake in a mod erate oven about three-quarters of an hour or until they are tender and a niee brown. Garnish the dish with parsley. Cucumbers may be stuffed with a filling of veal, ham or chicken and served for a meat course at a luncheon. Prepare the cucumbers, and for a filling have one-third the amount of crumbs that you have chop ped meat. Moisten the crumbs with a little hot milk and then stir in the meat and a small piece of butter; add some chopped parsley, salt and pepper and onion juice if you choose. Mix together with the beaten yolk of an egg. Fill the halves with the prepar ed meat and tie two together with a fine string and lay them in a baking pan, in which put three covers, a bay leaf, a slice of carrot and two generous cups of stock; water will do if you have no stock. Cover the pan and bake until the cucumbers are tender. Serve them hot with a little chopped parsley and melted butter poured over them, or make a sauce with the stock by thickening it with a little flour and adding a little lemon juice. Strain over the cucumbers and garnish the dish with triangularpieces of buttered toast. Another way is to stuff each half of the cucumber very full of the prepar ed stuffing and round it; over the top sprinkle crumbs browned in butter. Place the filled cucumbers in a baking pan and pour around them stock enough to come almost to the top of the vegetable. Bake in a moderate oven three-quarters of an hour. When cooked they should be arranged on a heated platter. Thicken the stock with a little corn starch and pour it around thc baked cucumbers and serve. Cucumber sauce is a delicious relish for cold meats and broiled fish. Peel and chop two medium-sized cucumbers and let them drain; add a good half teaspoonful of salt and a dash of eay enne pepper to six tablespoonfuls of whipped cream and mix with the drained cucumber; add a little lemon juice or vinegar and serve at once. If it is liked, a little onion juice may be added. Another cucumber sauce is made thus : Peel and chop the cu cumbers and drain them in a coland er. To one pint of pulp add a gener ous half-cup of vinegar, half a tea spoonful of black pepper, a speck of cayenne pepper, one and one-half tea spoonfuls of salt and three tablespoon fuls of onions chopped very fine. This sauce will keep some time if put in a cold place. It is exceedingly nice to sprinkle over chopped cab bage. The following ?alad makes a very attractive dish and is exceedingly good : Peel three ououmbers and cut them into halves lengthwise. With a teaspoon take out the seeds and soft part. Lay the shells in ice water while the filling is being prepared. Peel two tomatoes, remove the seeds and chop the solid part with one slice of onion and a few sprigs of parsley; season with salt and cayenne pepper. Wipe the cucumbers with a soft cloth and lap them slantingly upon a bed of lettuce leaves on an oval platter. Place thin slices of lemon around on the lettuce. Mix equal parts of lem on juice and oil together and put three tablespoonful? over the filling of each cucumber. Scatter lightly over the whole two finely chopped un peeled -radishes and a little parsley. Serve cold. Why the Water of the Sea ls Salty. Very many years ago there lived in Europe a wise man who was all the time trying, in his own way, to make new discoveries in nature. He had noticed, as perhaps many of you have done, that in old tea-kettles which have been used for a long time there is often a crust of stone about the sides and bottoms. "It is certainly stone," said he. "Now, there has been nothing but wa ter put into this kettle, and whence has this stone come ?" He studied the matter carefully and for a long time, aud then he came to the conclusion that the water had, by boiling, been changed into stone. To prove that this was true, he took clear, fresh water frem a spring, and boiled it in a clean, new kettle. After a time, just as he expected, the sides and bottom of the kettle were covered with a layer of stone. "No one can new dispute the fact," said he. "Stone is made from hot wa ter. Could we only produce enough heat, all the water of the ocean might be turned into solid rock." This was avery strange conclusion, you will think ; and so it was. But where did the stone in the tea-kettle come from if it was not made out of the water ? Put a little salt into a basin of wa ter. After a little while-you will see no salt in it, but all of the water will taste salty. The salt is so nearly the color of the water that one cannot see any change in the liquid-it looks as pure and fresh ?is when it was first drawn from the spring. But taste the smallest drop of the water and you taste the salt also ; for the salt has been divided into a great number of little particles, which float all through the water-thousands of them in every drop-and make it salty. If you had put indigo instead of salt into the water, every drop of the water would have been bluish, because it held many particles of indigo. In the same way a little sugar will sweeten a great deal of water. The sap or juice of th i sugar-cane or the sugar-maple is noshing but water, with many fine particles of sugar in it. When the water ia boiled away, these particles remain behind as so much su j gar. By boiling salt water we also ob tain salt. The water goes away in the form of vapor or steam, and reaves the solid matter behind. If you had weighed the water before you put the salt into it, and had caught all the steam and held it until it had cooled into water again, you would have found, on weighing it a second time, that no water had been lost ; and you would have found that it did not taste of the salt. Also, if you had weighed the salt before putting it into the water, and then again after the water had been all boiled away, you would have discovered that none of it had been lost. There is a great deal of salt in the ground. There are also many other things which dissolve in water. When the rain falls from the clouds, it sinks into the ground and takes up these substances in small particles, just as you have seen water dissolve sugar and salt, Wb?u? |bp,^^rJ^^bbjos nn "ffi^Bpnngs and runs down the rivers into the sea, it still holds the little particles of salt, or stone, or whatever they may be, and adds so much more however little it may be-to that which the sea already contains. Thus it is that the water of thc sea has become salty. When salty water is boiled, what becomes of the wi.ter ? It escapes in the form of vapor or steam. What becomes of the snit? It is left be hind in the vessel. When water that is full of particles of stone boils away, what becomes bf the stone ? You will have no trouble now in telling where the stone which is found in the tea-kettles comes from. You are wiser in that respect than the wise man of whom I have told you, for you know that stone is not made of water. What forces the water to leave the particles of salt and other matter which is gathered from the earth ? It is heat. It is by heat that it is driven off in the form of steam or vapor. This vapor goes up into the air. When it there becomes so thick that we can see it, we call it a fog or a cloud. The clouds are blown by the wind into cooler regions of air, and the va por condenses into drops and comes back to the earth in the form of rain. The rain drops sink into the ground again, and once more gather little par ticles of salt, or stone, or some other mineral, which they carry dpwn to the sea. Then they are again turned into vapor by the beat of the sun, and again driven over the earth by the wind, to water the parched ground and gladden the farmer's heart by making bis crop grow abundantly. And this change is going on every day, all over the world, yet not a-drop of water, not a particle of matter, of any kind, is gained or lost. Now you not only know why a layer of stone is found in old tea-kettles, but you have learned why the water of the sea is salty, what becomes of Rteam or vapor, and what causes rain. By thinking a moment, you will also be able to tell why we have salt springs and sulphur springs, and why tho waters in different springs and wells are so unlike.-Selected. Bccklcns Arnica salvr.

The host, not being used to having a clergyman at his table, looked at him with surprise. The guests used all their artillery of wit upon him without eliciting a remark. The clergyman ate his dinner quietly, apparently ? without observing the gibes and sneers of his neighbors. One of them at last, in despair of his forbearance, said to him : "Well, I wonder at your pa tience. Have you not heard all that has been said to you ?" "Oh, yes, but I am used to it. I am chaplain of a lunatic asylum. Such remarks have no effect upou me." - If a well could be dug to the depth of 46 miles, tbe air at tbe bottom would be as dense as quicksilver. - A dog is counted mad when he won't "take something to drink," and man insane when he takes too much, THE REVOLUTIONARY "BIKE. Ali Sorts of Shopkeepers' WVs Attrib uted to itt Influence. New York Evening News. It has been discovered simultane ously by the leaders in various branch es of industry, business and amuse ment that the real cause of the hard times is not the tariff, is not the cur rency, noli the uncertainty about Mc Kinley's financial position, but the bicycle. Theatrical managers say they have had the poorest Beason for many years, and that after patient and anx ious search for the cause they have found it in the bioyole orazc. They say that riot only do young men and maidens, but old men and women, save up their rooney in order that with it they may purchase wheels. This of itself is disastrous to the thea tres, but worse remains to be told; for having bought thc wheels they ride on them in thc evening instead of going tu places of amusement. They ride also on Sunday afternoons, and in Chicago they ride so universally on Sundays that theatres, which former ly gave successful performances on that day, .have discontinued them. The Sabbatarian might find encouragement in this fact were it not true that the churches are suffering almost as se verely as the theatres from the same cause. Business men are as loud in their complaints ar. the theatre managers. The watchmakers and jewelers say they are nearly ruined; that all pin money which young people saved for merly with which to buy watches and jewelry uow goes for bicycles; that parents, instead of presenting a boy with a watch on his 21st birthday, now give him a bicycle, and that all the family economy is now conducted with the object of equipping every boy and girl, as well as father and mother, with a wheel. The confec tioner cries" "me too" to this complaint declaring that about all the business he does in in chewing-gum, ice cream and soft drinks, while his candies find few customers. The tobacco manu facturer says he is the worst hit of all since few riders care to smoke on the road-for which there is reason for profound gratitude-and the journals of the trade say it is a fact that the consumption of cigars is decreasing at the rate of a million a day, the total decrease since the craze became gen eral averaging no less than 700,000,000 a year. Instead of sitting idle and smoking most of the day, hundreds of men .now ride, and smoke only when they are resting. The tailor, the hatter, the booksell er, the fihoedealer, the horsedealer, and the riding master, all tell similar tales of woe. The tailor says that so many men go about half tho time in cheap bicycle suits that they do not wear out their good clothes half as rapidly as formerly. The hatter says that so many of them wear cheap caps in which there is no profit to the mak er, that their hats last them twice as long as heretofore. The shoemaker says he is even worse off, for while they buy cheap shoes for the bicycle, they do not even wear these out, ana they refrain from walking in any kind of shoes whatever, so that his loss is al most total. The bookseller says peo ple who are rushing about on wheels, days, nights and Sundays, no longer read anything, and his business has become practically worthless. As for the horse dealer, stable keeper and riding master, it is notorious what has happened to them. They are no long er "in it," and, like the horse, are a drug on the market. Even the saloon keeper groans, for he says that while many riders drink beer, the number who take "soft drinks is much the larger, while the number who take "hard drinks" is constantly diminish ing, whicla must be the case in the pursuit of a pastime which cannot be followed with an unsteady head. Who are the gainers? An indig nant "Am'erban Hatter" writes to his trade journal that the only benefici aries are the bicycle manufacturers, "who invest in land and government bonds,* an"ihie'n',ckt,beir families to Eu rope, there to spe?cf-the^ money that .' should be diutributed upoi? -iki^side jj among om* own people." He thining! Congress should come to the rescue the hat trade and "pass a law COP^ pelling every bicycle fiend to weaj^| felt hat aiad buy at least two a sea'-^ son." McKinley will, in all proba bility, lend a willing ear to that proposition when he gets his millen nium in operation. But there are other occupations than bicycle manu facturing which prosper. Butchers and grocers are Baid to be doing more business than ever because of the in creased appetites and rejuvenated di gestions which riding has caused, and the wayside tavern keepers of the land have awaked from a sleep of half a century almost, to find prosperity once moro rolling in at their doors. But the greatest gainer of all is the American race. An eminent physi cian is quoted as saying that "not within 200 years has there been any one thing which has so benefited, mankind as the invention of the bicy cle," that; "thousands upon thousands of men acid women who till within a few years never got any outdoor exer cise to speak of, are now devoting half their time to healthy recreation, are strengthening and developing their bodies, and are not only reaping bene fit themselves, but are preparing the way for future generations, which will be born of healthy parents." There is no doubt about about this. As a people the Americans have never taken sufficient outdoor exer cise. We have been a nation of dys peptics, simply because we did not take nough physical exercise to devel op and strengthen our bodies. The bicycle is a wonderful builder up and purger of the system. It not only abolishes indigestion and dyspepsia, but rids the system of that curse of middle and old age, rheumatism, and thus adds enormously to the national good nature as well as to the sum of national happiness. As a social revolutionizer it has never had an equal. It ha? put the human race on wheels, and thus changed completely many of the most ordinary processes and methods of so cial life. It is the great leveler, for not till all Americans got on bicycles was the great American principle that every mau is just as good as any oth er man, and generally a little better, fully realized. Aliare on equal terms, all are happier than ever before, and the sufferers in pocketfrom this uni v< r sai fraternity and goodwill may as well make up their mindi to thc new order of things, for there will be no return to the old. The true philosopher under the new conditions was the watchmaker of the rural New York village, who, when he found the de mand for watches, falling off, gave up dealing in them and went into the bi cycle business. - Mrs. Sniverly is the wife of a captain of a New York military com pany. She attended a military review not long since, at which her husband was the commanding officer. Mrs. Sniverly laughed all the way home, and when, after she got home, she was asked what was the cause of her mer riment, she replied : "It was the fun niest thing in the world to see my husband, who never dares to open his mouth at home, ordering those men about, and, they just doing what he told them to do. Why don't he try that game on me ?" How Margie Died, The Illinois Central train was a half a hundred miles from Chicago, headed i for the city, and at a little station an J old farmer came aboard. He was a j little weazened man, with a sensitive , mouth half concealed by an iron gray i beard. His ill-fitting clothes were ? evidently? his most uncomfortable 1 beat. He slid softly into a seat ocou- j pied by a grave stranger, reading a j newspaper. Two or three times the i old man turned his face toward the 1 brown flying landscape. The stranger j wa8 struck with the troubled expres sion, and glanced wistfully at his com panion. The latter spoke at last with a strange huskiness in his voice : 1 "I am going to the city for the sec- i ond time in my life," he said, half startled at his own words. "Yes ?" "Thirty years come July I went there for a wedding suit, and I am go ing back there to-day for a coflin and a shroud for the little woman that married me. "You don't know what it is, mister, to live and work 'longside a woman for 30 years, day in and day out, to find her always patient and willing and working-and then leave her lying dead and cold with her worn-out handys crossed on her breast. It was just a little after the turn of the night, and nobody but me was watching, when Margie kinder woke up. " 'David, says she, 'it's restful so restful, and I am so tired.' And so she went to sleep again and waked up in eternity. You know, stranger, these words of hers have set me to thinking. Poor, tired soul, I never knew how much she needed rest. We never thought of it while we were working and skimping and saving, try ing to lay up something for the chil dren. She never had any pleasure, she never took any holidays or visited the other women. She raised the chil dren and slopped the pigs, and milked the cows and churned and cooked for harvest hands. I never knew or thought how she did it all with those poor crossed hands of hers. "Some folks, say it won't do any good, mister, but I am going to see that she is put ?.way in something rich. We wasn't i kimping and saving for 30 years for th s, but I'm going to have the best monjy can buy. She's earned it, God knows." A flight of Trouble. "Talking of ghosts," said the man in the corduroy, according to the De troit Free Press, "I had an experience once that nearly turned my hair grey. I arrived late at night in a little val ley town out West, where the only hotel was one of those amateur gim crack places with worsted mottoes on the walls and plants in the windows, j The landlord himself lighted me to my room and saw that I was made comfortable. I was dead tired and sleepy, and dropped off the moment my head touched the pillows. I was awakened some time towards morning by a strange grating noise, and by the dim light I saw a man rise through the floor of the room. At first I thought he had come to murder me, but the longer I looked the more cer tain I became that he was no mortal man. I lay shaking until day light, with my head buried in the bed clothes." "And then ?" "Then I saw my own clothes, neat ly surmounted by my hat, disposed on . the frame of a dumb waiter, where I i had placed them when retiring. The ? landlord had hauled them down, brush ed them carefully and sent them up again, giving me a fright that nearly 1 turned my brain."

Food is set before lt, clothing burned to cover its spiritual body and money burned to pro vide it with cash in the spirit world. Otherwise it becomes a beggar spirit. Idol temples aro common throughout China, and under trees and near bridgea may be found idols for the aero m m od at io o of travellers. The way a Chinese man petitions for a favor is by standing be fore the idol and, after requesting what he want?, tossing into the air two divin ing blocke of bamboo, with one Bide con vex and the other flat. If either the two con vos or two flat sides are turned up the answer is unfavorable, but it one of each the worshipper goes away confident that his prayer will be granted. There in a thriving business in the manufacture of idols, many of which are made from cam phor wood and are very hideous and in artistic. After being used for somb time the idol is usually taken back to tho make- to bo repaired, guilded and freshly furnished with arms or legs. Many men are employed in making the wax candles used lu idol worship. Many of the Chi nese, especially the women, are devout worshippers, but others are either scep tical or careless. So long as things go well they are careless about their devo tions, but they believe the gods have power to help them when they are in trouble. A man who witnes-ed a festivity in honor of the god of medicine says that around a grass hut in which the cam phor wood god was placed a great crowd of some thousands gathered. In front of the but was pork, fowl, rice, eggs, tea and liquors. Incense was burned and a praying priest besought the god to be favorable and partake of the feast provided. Other men wore preparing two hundred dressed hogs ou frames, ranged in rows, with an orange in the month of each and a large knife stuck in the back of the neck. Torches, music and theatrical per formances were enjoyed in the evening. - The answer to the question : Why does a horse get up fore part first and a cow hind part first? is : The strength for the second movement of rising is posterior in the horse and anterior in the cow.
