' It is a well known fact that a lctter nnd
Snore delicious cofTee is Hindu by pouring the
boiling vvuter over tlio ground coffee than by
boiling the coffee itself, as unfortunutcly is
yet so often done.
The boiling water that is poured over tht
coffee ceases to IkjII the instant it leaves the
lettlo in which it was boiled. Through evap
oration it is alr-ady somewhat cooled on the
wny to the cotreo pot, and by further contact
with other bodies the. tcniieriituro is still
further lowered until it is evident that the
temperature in tho coffco pot is several do
groes below tho boiling point. Tlio coffeo 13
consequently not mudo with boiling but with
warm water.
It is, therefore, but natural toconchidotlmt
other victuals may bo prepared in tlio same
manner, as it is the heat, not the boiling,
tliat causes the necessary chnnges to convert
them into pro;r food. Tho boiling only
transforms some of tho water into steam,
tho livelier it boils the moro Is evolved; but
tho tcmieraturo is not increased thereby,
it is 212 (legs, when it commences to boil, and
remains so if you boil it ever so hard. All
tho suiK.'rlluous heat is used to inako stenm,
and leaves us steam, without doing any good
to tho ingredients to bo boiled.
It is u mistake to supoj thatnpiecoot
well lulled" soup beef has been heated to
212 dogs, throughout. Tho heat ieiictrates
90 slowly that a good sized piece of lieef may
Tcmnlu comparatively cold insido after stay
ing in boiling water for an hour or moro,
and if you actually monsuro tho lcmicraturo
of tho inner parts of tho loef tho moment it
is rnkcu out of tho pot and pronounced "well
done," you will bo surprised to find that it
ooldom reaches over 170 degs. It was, thero
lore, cooked ut u teniernturo considerably
Qiclow the boiling point.
Thero is, furtherniore, good reason to sup
jposc, thnt, if it is po:fflibio to prepare tho food
properly by simply heating it to tho Iwlllng
point and then ceasing, then wo havo found n
"way to make our food moro nutritious und I
-savory. True, it Is mostly vintortluitoviijior-1
'atea during tho long continued Ixiiliug, but
"our smell tells us that Hoinethiiig else Is also
being ht, mid it lb but fair to supx.;o that
this "hoinethiiig" might improve tho flavor of
tho food If pruveuted from eseujifng. It is 1
moreover a common known fuct that tho I
longer mi egg is boiled tho less toothsome and I
digestible does it become, but it is not so
commonly known thut tho most nutritious
part in me
meat Is identical to that in tho egg,
aily spoiled by long continued boil-!

'Tlio nliovo should Ixi r.ufllodmt to causo nny

' Uiii country unused process in cooking; ono
'that, moreover, K.is-oase:i tho advantage of
"considcralik) mving in l.ilxir anil fuel, anil,
'furthermore, makes it iniposiiblu to scorch
vor burn anything.
Tho pr.Ksiui i:i as fo'dow.i: Tho food is
lirought to u Imi.I, anil allowed to boll for n
few minutes. Tiio k'-ttlo is then removed
from tho (in) and carefully protected in n
iieat Kafo . as to prevent, Uio heat from os

The boat nafo uoeoti'iiiry for tho foregoing
Tirocoss cun ho easily constructed by any
body, and at a merely nominal cost. First
get a common packing box of a Hiiitablo size,
cover tho bottom with a layer of picked wool
or cotton two or three inches thick, then
from a piece of ziuo or it'.ioot Iron make a
hollow cylinder a little hrger than tho ket
'tlo used, place tho cylinder in the box, and
'fill the interval between tho cylinder and
'tlio box witJi cotton or wool two to three
Inches this!:. A t-o:u..i i pillow will un
tswer for tho lid, and the ifo is ready for use.
When tho kottLi is iv i vod from tho lire
varo should lx taken not to raise the lid,
which should ilt as clo .ely as possible, and
when placed in tho s..ij the pillow must bo
tucked well down nil around. After remain
ing in tho heat safe for from two to four
hours, according to c ivuinstaiices, the food
"will Iw done, and you Wnl In astonished to
:flnd what a well c(mUc.1 and toothsome dish
5011 have prepared with m little trouble.
1 liny or cow hair, being chcaier, can bo
mil st I tutcd for wool or cotton, but do not re
tain the heat ipiito as well, especially in ap
paratus of smaller size. Tho safe can, of
course, lie made to contain several vessels ut
one time, and meat, potatoes, beans, etc., can
11 ho prepared ut the same tune.
( Potatoes, Ihuiiis, rice, (was and liken can Iw
placed in tho Mile us toon us they boil, but
largo pieces of meat should Iw boiled for
iubotit half an hour, so us to allow the heat to
penetrate them better.
With a llttlo practice and use of common
cn.se anybody will soon lie ublo to prepare
their food by this process, and thus savo

UnBIIli Servant GlrU Faulti.
Tho modern servant girl does not know
her work, and, worse luck, thero is 110 one to
teach her, and that is the plain truth of tho
matter. No public Institution, however good! ,
can really fit a girl for "domestic service.
Jn a largo institution a g ri learns noiuing 01
1110 uiiiieuiues uiii. w.uia ui . Dili. 11. wauiu-
lishmeiitw here, instead of lieing a member
of 0110 largo body, with distinct und clearly
defined duties, sho finds herself thrown on
her own resources nnd obliged most difficult
task of ull to think for herself. I remem
ber very well tho cxjierienco of a friend of
mine, who took a girl from a largo "homo,"
where orphans wero taken caro of and
trained as servants. Tlio girl came, a neat,
gentle laced lais, resiectful, willing and
obliging, in short, a treasure, whom mistress
nnd maids were, for a wonder, unanimous in
praislnj. Ono day I missed her and asked
t!.e cause. "Oh, sho has loft; nald the work
was too hard."
Never, never ngaln will I t.iko a girl from
one of thoo institutions. Tho girb uro good,
well trained in manners nml mind, iinytuing
you like, but they nro not tuught to think.
Why, that very girl used to leave tho nur
sery brooms und pails outsido tho door, und
when cheeked for it said naively: "Oh I I
thought tho girl whoso turn it was to clear
up would put them away." Anothor timo
imrso found her wandering around tho
IIUI'-
wy rcgloiw looking for tno lift to convey
1 10 J 'd shoes downstairs to bo
cleaned, und she fiuiilly gavo mo warning,
dissolved in tears, because sho could not
really manago tho work, und on her return
"homo" 1 had a sharp letter from tho mntron
in reply to mine, wondering "how I could
think of overworking a child so shamefully 1"
liecnuso I askod hcr to do work ull my other
nurse girls had done easily, and which her
successor, the dnughfer of nn old serwmt, of
her own freo will, supplemented by taking
tho mending of some of the house linen oil'
my hands. Until mistresses uro prepared to
teach their servunts themselves thoy will not
havo good ones, or in fuct servants at all in

"The man who goes to housekeeping after
having lived In a boarding houso most of his
life, naturally rejoices at thochango, becauso
after all, there is nothing like putting one's
feet under one's own mahogany, don't you
knowf" remarked 11 benedict; "but those who
nro not so privileged should not imagine vain
things. The man of tho house has a thou
sand moro responsibilities than the man who
Ixiards, and these, in 11 measure, balance tho
advantages. For instance, it not infrequently
happens that tho servant becomes obstreper
ous nnd has to Ikj discharged."
"Then ho finds that thero la coal to carry

Hint fur Therm Who Travel.
Tho journey Iming over nnd tho first resting
plnco reached, comes tho unpacking. Now
it will bo seen if brains havo Iteen used in
filling tho trunks und ull possible contin

the tired traveler will find ull sho needs with
out diving to tho IkiUoiii of oven ono trunk.
Now tho housekeeping talent will como into
play; everything that l.i left out of tho trunk
for f uturo uso will Iw put as nearly as possible
in the same Ksltion 111 tho strange room thut
it would occupy in tho familiar led chumbor
nt home. If handkerchiefs nro usually kept
in tho left hand corner of tho upier bureau
drawer, iu they go in tho same place in tho
hotel bureau. Thus 110 timo is last iu looking
for things; wo know by instinct where to go
to llnd everything, und our tired heads nro
saved worry und trouble. Hut ono caution
011 leaving tho temporary resting .place:
Don't rely on "feeling sure" that a certain
drawer or closet has not Ivon opened. If tho
owner put nothing in there, perhaps tho
chambermaid did, and thero is no thought so
comforting, when seated (n tho train "gain,
us to reflect that every spot bus lieen ox
uuiiued leforo the room was left and that
nothing remains behind. Mario Uozzaldi iu

Milk for III" liable
Tho reason why human milk agrees so
much better than otlur mill; with infants is
hecuuso it is so much diluted nnd tho cheesy
substance moro soluble, und it is on this ac
count that ass's milk succeeds so well; for ull
ordinary feeding cow milk answers very
well, provided that euro bo taken to have it
us nmr y like hunma nidk us pwlblo, Hu-
man milk contains little more than half the
quantity of cheesy mutter that is found in
cow's milk, und hence tho uevoity of free
dilution with wutcr-thut is, cow's milk!
should be mixed with half its bulk of pure
tepid witter. Dr. Haker finds that tho fol
lowing proportions of added ingredients ap
proximate the proportions and projKirties of I

' To begin with, tho waist is not a circle at
ell, but an oval; nor can thero lx nny greater
error than to imagine that mi unnaturally
small waist gives an air of grace, or even of
elightness, to tho whole flguiv. Its ciroct, as
a rule, is to simply exaggerate tho width of
theshoiildcrs und the hips; nnd those whose
figures possess that stnteliness, which is
called stoutness by tho vulgar, convert what
is a quality into n defect by yielding to tho
silly edicts of fashion on tho Mibject of tight
lacing. Tho fashionable English uaist, ulso,
13 not merely far too small, und consequently
qulto out of prajKirtion to the rest of tho
figure, but it is worn far too low down. I uso
the expression "worn" advisedly, for a waist
nowadays seems to bo regit n led as an article
of apparel to Iw put on when und where ono
likes. A long wuist always implies shortness
of tlio lower limbs, and from tho artistic
point of view has tho effect of diminishing
tho height; and I nm glad to seo that many
of the most charming women in Paris uro re

THE NORTHERN TYROL.
A LIGHT HEARTED, MERRY, SIMPLE
AND PICTURESQUE RACE.
Old World Cnstoins nnd Old Time Supor
olltliino Itellglon of tlio Tj rol Tlio

Tho Austrian Tyrol, though visited by
ninny, is by no means so well known ns Swit
zerland nnd many other parts of tho Euro
pean continent, yet no country is more beau
tiful, more rich in qunintlegendnry lore, and
certainly no jieasantry Is mora courteous or
moro picturesque than the Tyrolese.
Tho Tyrolean lieasnnts aro a light hearted,
merry race, very simple, very superstitious,
disliking innovations of ull kinds und cling
ing with wonderful tenacity to their old
world customs. In most villages, during tho
frequent nnd terrific thunder storms which
prevail during July and August, tho great
hell in tho church is rung first nsn warning
to nil who nro abroad to seek shelter as soon
ns possible, and secondly to drive the thun
der uwny. Any ono who did not believe in
the efficacy of tho Ml would bo looked ut
nskuneo nnd his ignorunco would Ikj pitied,
but Mm villagers would not try to convinco
him. On one occasion I was talking to a
group of peasants und inquiring what wild
animals wero to bo found in tho Kuiscrjo-berj-,
h range of nliuost inaccessible mount
ains iu the northern Tyrol. After tolling mo
thnt wolves, foxes, wildcats, vultures and
chamois in great abundance wero to lie found
there, ono peasant reinurkcd with a mysteri
ous look:
"Ah! but gnndigp frou, Micro uro far worso
things than thb beasts iu those mountains.
Thero are witches, many witches; but woplo
do not often seo them except lioforo an awful
storm; but onco thero was a jager (hunter)
who hud climbed up higher than uny ono
ever hud before, nnd ho came to n sort of
cave, and there sat u horrible old hag, bend
ing over a caldron full of somo loathsome
conqxmnd. He wns so terrified that he threw
away ull the skins ho wns carrying, and How
llko 0:10 possessed with a devil, und never
after ventured within many miles of tho
spot."
Another story is that a poor girl a servant
on a farm was so fond of dancing that sho
declared sho could dnnco forever, und had
even been heard to say that sho would dunco
with tho dovil himself if ho would ask her.
Ono evening 1 1 a dance at a lonely littlo inn
in tho mountains, whore this girl was pres
ent, u line, very tall und handsome man,
dressed as a butcher, came in. Ho asked tho
girl to dnnco und was ueeepted. On, on they
went till the girl was ready to drop with
fatigue, and begged him to stop, but no, on,
on she must, dance. Th story goes that sho
danced till she fell dead 011 tho floor, upon
which her partner stalked from tho room,
followed by some of the villagers. Ho wont
on till he came to u littlo stream overshad
owed by thick bushes. There ho stopped,
nnd planting one foot on tho rock (thus show
ing tho peasants tlw cloven hoof) ho sprang
with a fearful yell into the water und disap
jienred in a Hume of Uro. Tho mark of his
foot may bo seen on tho rock by the curious
nnd credulous to this day, and few caro to
pass the spot after nightfall; or if obliged to
do so they tell their beads with utisual de
votion. Tho religion of the Tyrol, indeed of Aus
tria gonernlly, is Roman Catholic, and in tho
more remote parts tho jieoplo nro very de
vout. Thero is generally u .sisterhood nnd
often n monastery near every village. Ono
in particular occurs to mo where thero was
und is u monastery of the Capuchins Theso
monks live entirely by charity, und gifts of
eggs, bread, milk und butter, uro freely
brought by the people, tho recipients giving
littlo sacred pictures, holy mediils, ora llower
from thoir lovely garden in return, nnd to
those who ask for, n?ul need them, their pray
ers. In Salzburg tho sisterhood of tho Capu
chins have u curious custom. Sometimes
thoy nro quite without food, and until tho
third day they must benr their privations pa
tiently, but then thoy ring their chapel boll,
and then tho townspeople come Hocking to the
convent, bringing the welcome and sorely
necdod provisions.
Tho costume of tho Tyrolienno is a pretty
one, consisting of n stuff dress, with a very
full skirt, the bodice cut square in front and
filled in with n silk handkerchief which
matches iu color; and a gay silk apron,
which is of pink blue or yellow, according to
tho tasto of tho wearer. Tlio hats nro not
unliko tho sailor hats worn by ladies, excopt
thut they havo 11 stilf, straight brim, and nro
generally adorned with tassels of gold bul
lion. Tho notional costumo of tho men is oven
more picturesque, consisting of knitted dark
blue or white stockings, kneo breeches, wnist
coat with two rows of silver buttons, a somo

A Tn Irllm; Stone.
There litis been discovered about half
a mile west of the Utirgytown ledges a
twirling stone of about five tons weight
It has always been regarded 113 a bowl
der, and from tliu way it is poised on
the rock beneath it no one could seo
why it should not rock. Hundreds
have tried to rock it in vain, nnd the
surprise of tlio man who first felt it
move under pressure may bo better
imagined than described. It moves
hard, of course, but it moves, the finder
informs us, round as if it was placed
upon a pivot. It has been carefully
examined, and while it looks like a
bowlder, several allege that it must be
a ceremonial stone set there by .some
prehistoric race. Norwich Bulletin.
Ills Iilcu of a Sermon.
Robert Morris, a man celebrated for
tho part he took in the American
Revolution, was once asked by D.
Rush: "Well, Mr. Morris, how did you
like the termon? I have heard it
highly extolled." "Why, doctor."
said he, "I did not like it at r.!l. It is
too smooth and tame for me. "Mr.
Morris," replied the doctor, "what sort
of a sermon do you like?" "I like,
sir," replied Mr. Morris, "thnt preach

corner of his jiew nnd makes him think
the devil is after him." San Francisco

This is the query per
What is petually on your little
boy's lips. And he is
It For? no worse than the big
ger, older, balder-headed
boys. Life is an interrogation
point. " What is it for?" we con
tinually cry from the cradle to the
grave. So with this little introduc
tory sermon we turn and ask: "What
is August Flower for ?' ' As easily
answered as asked ; It is for Dys
pepsia. It is a special remedy for
the Stomach and Liver. Nothing
more than this ; but this brimful.
We believe August Flower cures
Dyspepsia. We know it will. We
have reasons for knowing it. Twenty
years ago it started in a small country
town. To-day it has an honored
place in every city and country store,
possesses one of the largest manu
facturing plants in the country and
sells every where. Why is this? The
reason is as simple as a child's
thought. It is honest, does one
thing, and does it right along it
cures Dyspepsia.
