Cucumbers Not Notion.
Many people are under the impression
that cueunilier is very indigestible,
and when they eat it they do so under
protest and with apprehensions of possi
ble dire consequences. How this delu
hion can have arisen it is dillicnlt to say,
nnless it be that cucumber is often eaten
with salmon and other indigestible table
friends. It is not the cucumber, how
ever, but the salmon that sits so heavily
upon our stomach' tl rone. Cucumber,
in fact, is very digestible when it is eaten
properly. It cannot, indeed, be otliei
wise when it is remembered that it con
sists mainly of water, and thu those
parts winch are not water are almost ex
clusively cells of a very rapid growth.
In eating cucumber it is well to cut into
thin sliots and to masticate them it.or
onghly. liven the vinegar and pepper
that are so often aMed to itaieof service
to the digestion, if not taken in excess.
The cucumber, as every one knows, be
longs to the melon tribe, but in our
somewhat cold country it doo:i not grow
to any very lurge size! ami therefore is
firmer and looks less digestible than its
congener, the melon.

maneuvers on the pond lor a time, when

"At tho llrst movement of tho gander
when ho broUo the tranipiibty of the leeding
llock, my friend, the tanner, arose quickly
to his loot, and as ho turned toward tho
meadow, said:
" 'There's them dinged hayin' hands work
in' as if they had all the rest o' tho year to
get that hav m, an' here we're goin' to Ik)
ketclicd m a teann' old shower in loss'u an
hour, or elso there hain't no iiso in keopin'
glt'so.'
"The farmer hurried dow n to the meadow,
spurred up tho iu"ii, and lent a hearty hand
himself at tho hay. before iiiiuiy minutes
hud passed 1 saw clouds banking themselves
ill tlio horizon, and presently thu mutter of
distant thunder was heard among them.
The farmer was rigid. In an hour's time
one of the hardest thunder storms 1 ever saw
was raging over that part ot 'ew Jersey,
mid it caught the last lo.nl of the old man's
hay in transit. Alter supper that night 1
questioned my hoM on the geese, and found
that tho reason he kept iheui was to keep
him posted on the we.u her.
" 'They hain't never lulled mo yet,' hesaid.
'When 1 git up in the morniu' an1 see them
geoso out oa the pond a-divin' an' u-dressin'
down their feathers as if they was gettin'
ready to go to some party or other, I know
that we're sure ol cl-ar, warm, dry weather,
an' 1 make my eale'lations 'cordm'ly. If
they haiu't u-drossm' of themselves much,
but act kinder as il it wasn't o' much account
n-sprticin' up, then I keep my eye on 'em.
That's a wiirnin' that we're in danger of a
spell o' weather. Il the geco quits tho pond
an' don't go back much through tho day, 1
know that tho danger holds, an' 1 git ready
for u set ruin of a da.v or so. If th.y food

kinder chipjK-r h.'.e, and go to dressiu' them

they won't lo no set rain comniencin' that
day. If tho geese gits-tip all of a suddeut
un' tears around like ye see 'em this after
noon, thou there's a shower eoniin', an' it's
u-eomin' last, ye kin lot.'
"So you need never wonder why some
farmers keep gee:e around, and still wish
they were in Ihdilax. They are their
weather progiiostienior, and they lieliovu in
'em as firmly as th".'. do in the making of ap
plejack. This fanner told me another funny
thing about these cose weather signals. Ho
said that when thev prophesy a storm tho
bound.) they nitike arc not like their cries at
any other time. Consequently tho farmers
are never fooled by the cries of a llock of
goeso that may rise m the air troiii a place
where they were out of sight, if tho rise law
lieon caused by any I right tho geoso may
huvo lieou subjected to. An exjiort reader of
gooso slgnuls can toll tho frightened cry
irom tho prophetic shriek as far us ho cm
hear it.
"Never Kiw a gooso plucking, hoy? 'Well,
it isn't a sight that would give you much

MAKING TERRA COTTA.
rnrloiK 'Jt In Wlilrli tt:llied Tiny II
Turin il to Arcniint.
I was taken into the photograph room,
0 useful appendago of a terra cot t a fac
tory '."hero the molds and models aro
photographed and sent by mail to the
architects, who can revise them and send
them back. In tlio same way they pho
tograph tho entire, profile or elevation of
a building from the architect's drawing,
nnd as the successive parts .if the terra
cotta aro mode they are crossed out on
tlie drawing. Tlie owner of tho building
conies in and says "How tire vou get mg
along with tny t et ra cotta"'' They hand
out to him this tracing, and say "We aro
all finished up to there." At a glance ho
can see just w here he stnnds.
I asked if terra cotta when lu !
weighed more than in the clay
"That depends upon how dry theilay Is
before it is baked If most of the moisture
Is out of it, it will gam somewhat 111
weight after it is put in the lire."
I walked into one of the kilns They
are about fifteen to twenty feet perhi'ps
in diameter, and are a patent kiln devised
in the etensive pot t cries of Ureal Britain.
The old Woman open lire kilns were long
ago replaced there by Blashtield's mulUod
kilns. The color of these kilns is white,
and they nre made of lire brick. Within
tho pottery is piled up, and every few
feet you see a kind of shelf made of terra
cotta already baked, whit'ii stands upon
terra cotta bricks. This is to prevent the
weight of the molds pressing down
toward tho bottom, by which the bottom
pieces would be squee.ed out of their
shape. When the kilns tire burning and a
perfect hell of llanie worse than Nebuehud
nez.ar's furnace is going on within it
seems just as cool outside as if there was
no lire at all.
Among the objects at the factory I no
ticed the model of a Turkish girl, as it
seemed, bare to the waist, where hung
some kind of Asiatic fringe or drapery.
Thevsaid that a Hebrew had put up some
kind of a club house, and had supplied
his daughter for the model, considering
that her form was worth perpetuation.
15ut it is no tiiieoinnion tiling for a sculp
tor to employ his own family for model
ing, and 1 understood more than twenty
vears ago, when in Florence, that Hiram
I'owers modeled his statue of California
from one of his unmarried daughters.
Tho fuetorv has on tho lower Hour
washers, tuid;s. crushers, millstones to
tuako grit, pug mills, etc. Tho second
storv is tlio entrance to the kilns, which
aro iiurned aliout eight days, each holding
over twenty tons of terra cotta. Tho
third story is the studio and tho molded
brick factory. They burn a great many
architect tira'l bricks" hero as attributes of
the terra cotta. The pressing and finish
ing is done on the fourth ami fifth lloors,
and tho sixth story is tlio model and
mold department.
Architecture In the Tinted States is
now callable of almost any kind of repre
sentation through tho plant given by
biich factories as this, which has many
acres of s torn go room. The lloors are so
largo that they can lay down tho entire
cornice, belt course or outline of a build
ing of great sie and height in it. You
can in these Honrs show in your terra
cotta, already modeled or baked, a height
of about loO'foet and a width of over 170.
A few female laborers are used to go over
the tiles before they aro baked and sharpen
tho work.
An immense amount of terra cotta is
kept perpetually on hand to (ill pass jug
orders, for men'are changeable in buying
tilings of this kind and have a mood under
tlio influence of art which they may lose
tho moment they turn their hu-Its. Tho
public architecture of tho United States
lias been mainly executed in hard stono,
seldom suggestive of tho purpose in
tended. Terra cotta, with its indestruct
ible quality, alTonls the government all
sorts of possibilities, didactic, sentimental
and patriotic. (Sen. Meigs had a largo
order for terra cotta executed In Boston
which represents in costume as they lived,
with nil their wagons, batteries, launches,
row boats, ambulances, pontoons, infan
try, cavalry, etc., tho army in tho time of
tho civil war

Wur Time Clothes In tlio South.
A Raleigh gentleman has collected and
preserved an interesting souvenir of war
times down south, in tho sliupoof a scrap
book filled with samples of homo mado
cloth of every description. Tho sight of
these goods "forcibly carries one hack to
tho days when the old timo spinning
wheel and loom were to ho heard in every
hoiibo. IJverv grade and color of fabric
is represented, from the coarsest copperas
checked to the finest "silk mixed," which
was mado by carding nnniito bits of old
silk of any kind with cotton, about half

now looks st-ango that persons of wealth,

such clothing, but thero was no help for
It. We did wear It anil were proud of our
