THE SCHOOL LUNCH BASKKT.
Boggfttlonfl Which Servo u Pleu
ant Surprises.
In packing the lunch basket lei
Xruit come first, and this never t\v<
days the same, unless later an apple
is taken for "stony."
To-day let there be a cluster of
grapes wrapped In oiled paper, a luscious
peach or pear, a plump banana,
an orange separated In sections,
leaving a bit of the rind to hold them
together, a couple of plump figs
ateained and sugared, a handful of
dates or cluster of fat raisins. To
morrow change the hill for a trio of
meaty plums, a handful of nuts or a
carefully baked apple with its core
of sugar and cinnamon. Of course
this latter must bo carried in a cup
mid ho oaten with a spoon.
Fillings for sandwiches are legion.
Meat llllings are usually better,
minced line and seasoned. Exceptions
are wafer thin slices of fowl or
rare roast or a piece of tender, Juicy
steak shaved crosswise in thin slices.
If the meat is minced leave neither
gristle, chunks of fat nor slivers of
bone in to discourage appetite.
Nut sandwiches are always timely,
nnd a Jar of nut butter kept on tap
will prove useful many times. Any
nuts may be used. The easiest way
to prepare them at home is to run
them through the meat chopper.
Then they may be moistened with
cream, olive oil (and this specially
line for a child with any tendency to
pulmonary troubles,) melted butter
or mayonnaise. Add salt, to season
mid muko more digestible, and
spread.
Cream choose mixed with chopped
Tint* makes an excellent sandwich,
while a moist gingerbread sandwich
with a filling of cream cheese and
nuts Is something to remember.
if posblble, hake patty pan cakes
for the lunch basket. They are so
easy to pack, so tempting to eut, especially
when their brown sides support
a lovely frosted top.
Automatic Door.
Still another road pointing to laziness
is a door which opens automatically.
Why anybody should lie relieved
of the little exertion necessary
to open a door Is hard to explain. Of
course, it is useful in a few ways. If
n person Is burdened with an armful
of articles, it would be very advantageous
to step on a button when approaching
the door and have it open
Without further effort. When about

Directions for Making Bread.
Do not make the dough too stiff, if
'necessary add a little flour from time
to time while kneading, until it becomes
smooth and elastic.
Be careful not to scald yeast. It
should be dissolved in lukewarm water.
To be good, compressed yeast
should be light, and not too moist or
oggy.
% Dough should bo kneaded at least
three times, as long handling at one
time kills the life of the dough.
When set to rise, f lie dough
iphould be covered with cloth and a
tightly fitting cover, bo that no hard
crust may form.
The time of rising depends upon
the yeast, the consistency of the
idough and the temperature of the
yooiu, which should bo 7 5 degrees.
The dough must not become chilled
Hvhile rising.
There is more danger of letting it
rise too long than baking 100 soon.
The oven should at first bo hot
(enough to brown flour in five minutes
without burning it, but should
toon bo given a stronger heat. Do
#>ot allow bread to remain in oven
filter it is thoroughly baked.
GUIDES TO HEALTH.
A pinch of salt on the tongue, followed
in ten minutes by a drink of
cold water, Is said to cure a headache.
If you would get rid of rheumatism
do that which will cause free
perspiration without subsequent
Chilling. If you would get rid of
gout, make your liver as active as
possible.

LONGEVITY OF WILD BEASTS.
Lowrr Animals' IJves More Uniform
Than Ours.
One of the Smithsonian scientists
calls attention to tho fact that the
duration of the lives of tho lower
animals differ froin that of men's
lives in being far more uniform.
Whllo human beings die at all
ages between infancy and senility,
among tho lower animals, on the
contrary, all individuals of the same
species live to very nearly the same
age, unless killed by violence.
Some examples of remnrkablo
logevity among animals may be cited
For instance, there is the story of
tho elephant Ajax. which Alexander
captured at his victory over i'orus.
The conqueror aflixed an inscription
to the animal and set it at liberty.
Three hundred and llfty years later
Ajax Is said to have been found still
living. Hut little dependence can he
placed on most stories of long life
among animals.
Where to Hive Hong.
A Germ,an statistician lias made a
careful Investigation to discover In
which countries the greatest ago is
attained. The German empire, with
55,000,000 population, has but sevents-oight
subjects who are more
than 100 years old. France, with
fewer than 40,000,000, lias 2 12 perwlwi

Sweden 10, and Norway, with 2,000,000
inhabitants, 22. Switzerland
does not boast a centenarian,
but Spain, with about i s.ooo,ooo
population has 4 10. The most
amazing figures come from that
troublesome and turbulent region
known as the Balkan Peninsula.
Servia has 07 2 persons who tire
more than 100 years old; Koumanla
1,084, and Bulgaria 3,883. In other
words, Bulgaria has a centenarian to
every 1,000 inhabitants, and thus
holds the international record for
old people. In 1892 alone there
died in Bulgaria 250 persons who
had exceeded the century.?lCxchange.
Increase of Leprosy.
Leprosy 1h increasing In both
North and South America. Columbia,
where there were only 100 lepers
forty years ago, Is said to have 40,000
now, and many find their way
Into the United States. Such a medical
authority as Dr. Ashmeail, who
was formerly chief medical adviser
to the Government of Japan, says
the increase is alarming. When leprosy
is brought into a new country it
takes fifty years for tho seeds to take
root and it becomes epidemic after
some 200 years. It has been shown
that mosquilos are active in transferring
leprosy bacilli.
Uggs a Hundred Years Old.
In felling a large tree some days
ago in Cirencester, Gloucesershiro, a
bird's nest, containing four eggs was
discovered enclosed in a hollow non*
the heart of tho trunk. The sap rings
Hhowed that nearly a century has
elapsed since the eggs we-e laid, and
It was obvious that the hollow had
closed automatically. Tho eggs were
intact, but slightly faded.?London

Supplied Willi Snuff.
Tt la not generally known, says the
London Express, that a genorous
country supplies members of the
House of Oommons with gratuitous
snuff. "Formerly," the Express says,
"snuff was described lu t.io estimates
as such, but to ward off the objection
aroused by improving habits the
charge of ?200 a year was raited up
or covered in the estimates as 'lamp
oil.' "
Earth's Hottest llrglon.
The hottest region on the earth's
surface Is on the southwestern coast
of Persia, on the border of the Persian
gulf. For forty consecutive days
in the mouths of July and August
the mercury has beeu known to
stand above 100 degrees in the
shade, night and day, and to run as
high as 130 degrees in the afternoon.
Making Space Pay.
The Japanese do not like lo spare
the square foot u fence would take
tip. If a border around a Held is necessary
it is made of mulberry trees,
the leaves of which are good for silk
worms. It is said that lk,000 acres,
that would otherwise be taken up
with fences are used in this manner.
The largest and costliest building
thus far undertaken in New York,
the city of Immense structures, is
tlie magnificent $10,000,000 Episcopal
cathedral of St. John the Divlno,
now being erected on Morningsitle
Heights. This will be the greatest
sacred edifice in America, and tho
fourth in importance in the world.

About 800 species of mosquitoes

Meant the Account.
William Jones, who keeps a shop
in Sussex town, is always known as
"Rill" to his Intimate friends. Rust
spring he came up to London to order
a stock of goods.
The goods wcro sent immediately,
and reached home before fee did.
When the boxes were delivered at
his shop by the carter his wife happened
to look at the largest; she uttered
u loud cry and called for a
hammer.
A neighbor, hearing the screams,
rushed to her assistance, and aaked
what was the matter.
a
, The wife, pale and faint, pointed
to an inscription on the box, which
read as follows: "Rill inside."

his difficult examination questions.
One of the youthful students, after

nous llt>L of questions in geography
came upon the following query,
which completely stumped him:
"Name twelvo animals of the polar
regions."
Tho youngster scratched his head,
thought hard for many minutes, and
finally, after the spell of a sudden
inspiration, wrote:
"Six mi rils and six polar bears."
The professor was so pleased with
ids pupil's cleverness that he marked
him 100 per cent.?Lipplncott's,

L'ATS 11 EAR CALL OF TUB WILD.
3oon Become Able to Give m Pack of
Dogo Trouble.
An Interesting study of animal da- ,
Lure is found by possum and coon
hunters of the Marmaton River bottoms,
says the Fort Scott Tribune. It
Is fou ud that many once lame
house cats are more ferocious
fighters when treed than any other
jpccies of animals which hunters are
atp apt to encounter in these woods.
N'eearly every hunting party spending
a night In those wood comes
up with a cat that has "gone
back to tlio wild." The supposition
is that these cats have been
tempted to the woods by the field
find wood mice and other prey upon
which cats like to feed, and that
they gradually becomo accustomed
to wild life and mako their homo
there. Frequently a party of hunters
has chased a cat half a night to
have an exciting tight when the dogs
finally cornered it. The cats thus returned
to the native life of the species
arc said by hunters to grow considerably
larger than their civilized
brothers and sisters and to bo able to
engage a whole pack of dogs single
banded.
Professions That Kill.
The latest compilations which
have been made show that the air in
cutlery factories Is laden with invisible
metal dust, and this being carried
into the lungs, causes asthma
and consumption. The steel grinders,
bending over their work, inhale
such huge quantities of metal dust
that they rarely live beyond the ago
of forty. All metal trades are very
hazardous,and phthisis or tubercular
affections and respiratory diseases
are the penalties of these pursuits.

A W riter's Personality.
Of Itobort l.ouis Stevenson a recent
writer says: :"\Vitk his dark
eyes looking as if they had drunk in
the sunshine in some southern land,
his uncut hair, his odd, shabby
clothes clinging to his attenuated
frame, his elaborate manners and
habit of gesticulating as ho spoke, ho
was often mistaken for a starving
musician, or foreign mountebank.
Continental ofllcials doubted his
passport's statement that he was a
111 iiDu. in r l'uucu no was imprisoned,
and Stevenson complained that
ho could not pass a frontier or visit a
bank without suspicion."
When "Pupa" Was Polite.
For some time after the "papa"
was taken into the English language,
in the seventeenth century, it was
restricted to courtly and polite
speech and was common even among
adults. Long after it had become
childish it was still accounted genteel.
Hood wrote of one who was
"genteelly taught by his mamma to
say not father, but papa." "Papa"
may ho comparatively a newcomer
into the English language, but it is
as old as. Homer. Nausica in the
"Odyssey," calls her father "papa
pliilo"?dear papa.
Artificial Waters.
Artificially aerated drinking waters
were the invention of the chemist,
Joseph Priestley, who in 1773
published his "Directions for Impregnating
Water With Fixed Air In
Order to Communicate to It the Peculiar
Spirit and Virtues of Pyrmont
Water and Other Mineral Water* of
a Similar Nature." Some one hae
calculated the consumption of aerated
waters In Great Britain and Ireland
to amount to 200,000,000 gallons
a year.
Practice and Theory.
Lord Kelvin paid a visit to the
British schoolship for navigating
oiiurrs ai I'ortsmouin, on wnicn are
several mechanical contrivances and
appliances of his own invention. The
practical working of these had to bo
demonstrated and explained to him.
Lord Kelvin understood the theoretical
principles of the mechanism, but
had never seen them applied and at
work before.
High Priced Orchid.
The highest price ever paid for
nny orchid was paid at an auction
sale in London for n heavily marked
form of Odontoglassum, $6,035, and
but for a small plant! It has enormous
heavy blotches of chocolate
brown on each segment of the flower,
occupying approximately one-half
the area.
Perambulating IUacksinlth.
In Northern China a perambulating
village blacksmith goes about In
the early spring making Implements

design in the various localities, and
are only sumcient to scratch the surface
of tho soil.

A few years ago road dust was an
almost Insufferable plague on windy
summer days in Southern California
Now the roads are sprinkled with petroleum
twice a year and even an
automobile raises no dust.

The air Is so pure in tho polar regions,
so free from harmful microbes,
that throat and lung diseases
aro unknown there. That section is
also entirely free from contagious
