A Suhfttltuto for Hydranllo Cement.
Mr. Miles, n well known engineer, makes
tho stntcmont that ordinary brick dust,
rnado from hard burned, finely pulverized
bricks, nnd mixed with common lltno and
sand, is universally and successfully cm
ployed as a substituto for hydraulic cement.
Mr. Miles says that during on engineering ox
pcrionco of somo six years in Cuba bis op
portunities wcro nmplo for testing its merits,
nnd ho found it in all respects suierlor to tho
best UoKcndalo hydrnulio cement for culverts,
drains, tanks or cisterns, or ovon for roofs.
In an oxjicrimcnt to test tho strength of this
product, it was found that a block of it, half
a mluuto in thickness, without sand, and
after immersion in water four months, boro
without crushing, crumbling or splitting a
pressure of llfteon ixninds per square inch. It
is thought that, by thonddltlon of pulverizing
mills to brickyards, to utilize the waste and
broken bricks, a prolltablo manufacture
might bo carried on.
Why Gold In Jewelry Chances Color.
It is well known thnt tho human body con
tains humors and ncids, similar In action to
and having a llko tendency townrd baser
metals, as nltrlo and sulphuric ncids havo,
namely, to tarnish or dissolvo them, varying
in quality in different icrsons. Thousands
wear continually, without any ill effects, tho
choopor clnss of jowolry, with brass car
wires, whllo if others woro tho samo nrtlclo
for n fow days thoy would bo troubled with
soro ears, or, In other words, tho acids con
tained In tho system would so net on tbo
brass as to produco ill results. Instances
havo occurred in which articles of jowolry of
any grndo below eighteen carats havo been
tarnished in a fow days, merely from tho
abovo named causo. Truo, thoso instances
aror.ot very frequent; nevertheless, it is as
well to know thorn. Every caso is not tho
fault of tho goods not wearing well, as it 1
generally called, but tho result of tho partl
ular constitution of tho wearer.
Turn Air Indlcntor.
It is estimated that tho air in u room bo
comes distinctly bad for health when its car
bonic acid oxcoodslpart In 1,000. An ap
paratus has boon recently patented by Pro
fessor 'Woljicrt, of Nuremberg, which affords
a moosuro of tho carbonic acid present. Bcien
tlflo American gives tho following informa
tion concerning it: From a vessel containing
a rod liquid (soda solution with phenolphtha
loin) thoro comes ovory 100 hoconds, through
a siphon arrangement, a rod drop on a pre
pared whito thread about a foot and n half
long, and trickles down this. Behind tho
thread is a scale Iwginnlng with "puro air"
(up to 0.7 per 1,000) at tho bottom, and end
ing nbovo with "oxtromoly bad" (t to 7 ior
1.000 and mora) In puro air tho drop con
tinues rod down to tho bottom, but it loses its
color by tho action of carbonic acid, and tho

Ilrlok Layers In Vrotty Wcuthcr.
A writer in Tho London Building Nows
thinks ovory bricklayer ought to know that
mortar mndo in tho following maimer will

Ono bushol of unslaked llmo, thrco bushels
of sharp sand; mix ono pound of alum with
ono pint of linseed oil, and thoroughly mix
tills with tho mortar when making it, nnd
uso hot. Tho alum will counteract tho action
of tho frost on tho mortar.
To Keep Ilrais Itrlght.
To keep highly polished brass, absolutely
bright and f reo from tarnishing, it is thluly
coated with n varnish of bleached shellao
and nlcohol. Bo long us this varnish remains
Intact tho brass will coutiuun to bo bright.
Much of tho decorative brass now used is

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.
Who First Used KiirkuT Tim OrefVs In
lllhlfl Dnjrs.
Forks nro distinctly mentioned In I Samuel,
xill, 1!1, In connection with the lllo which was
used to hnrHn tho .prongs. In tho Penln
tench mention is mado of "lhh hooks,'' evi
dently used for tnklpg tho moat out of tho
jtotsoroff the pans. Ateueus mentions iho
"fork," but It does not npenr whether it
meant a bldent or n trident, and It Is certain
thnt tins ancient Oreoks were Ignorant of Iho
tiso of tho fork whllo eating. Two branched
instrumcuti woro found ntllerculnueum, but
thoy were not known to Iks usM In nny period
of Homnii history, Tho Duko of Burgundy
used forks nt tnlilo nnd is said to havo had
two. In his tlmo tho loaves wens lnado round
and wrro placed by tho side of tho carver,
who had n pointed carving knife nnd nskosver
of silver or gold which ho stuck Into tho
joint of meat, and having cut off a pleco
placed It on a sllco of bread, which was
served to tho guost on tho oiut of tho carv
ing knife. This custom still obtains In timiiy
i tarts of KuroH Beforo tho revolution in
'Vnnco, when a gentleman was Invited to
dinner it wns customary for him to send his
servant with his knife-, fork anil soon, or, if
ho had no ncrvant, hoenrried them in Ills
breeches pocket as n carienter carries his
rule. Tho uso of forks was not introduced
into Kngland until tho timo of James I, hnv
ing boon brought from Italy. Their uo was
ridiculed by many as a suiterservlcnblo pleco
of llncry. Bon Johnson joined in tho laugh
against them in his play of "Tho Devil's
Ass." It Is not difllcult, oven now, to re
member when tho knlfo only, notwithstand
ing tho presence of tho fork, was used to con
voy food to tho mouth, showing how diffi
cult it was to got rid of old customs.
Luminous Clock Dints.
Thoro nro clock dials so coaled with n phos
phorescent preparation as to absorb sunlight
during tho day, and thus bo in n measuro
luminous at night, but in tho opinion of n
largo dealer in clocks nnd watches thoso dials
aro comparative failures, inasmuch ns thoy
io not retain their luminous power for any
rent length of timo, whllo tho effect of tho
phosphorus upon the movement is to tarnish,
corrodo and seriously impair its usefulness.
Phosphorus, as is well known, khscssos no
light in itself, but absorbs when placed in tho
sunlight tho luminosity which it nftorward
displays in tho dark, thercforo such dials
must bo placed during tho day whero thoy
can get tho sunlight. Tlicro is no prqiaration
on the market, so far as tho writer lias lccn
nblo to ascertain, which can bo applied to a
dial, unless it is tho simple phosphorus. Tho
latter Is readily obtalnnblo; but whether its
uso ti)on the faco of tho clock would sccuro
oven tho temiKirary result desired remniiiH to
bo proven. If it is to bo oxerlmentcd with,
care should bo taken to avoid touching tho
hands or the figures of tho dinl, tho phos
phorus lielng applied to tho plain whito sur
faco only, thus allowing, providing tho Illumi
nation is uchioved, tho hands and llgures to
bo sharply defined agalnst'tho light.
A Curiosity in Verse.
"Como, kiss me, sweet Phyllis," said Corydon
gny.
As ho walked with tho maid through tho clover
ono day;
"And tell 1110 you lovo me; thrro's nobody near;
No ono to look at us, no ono to hear."
"Prny tell mo what's growing, sir, Just over
there,
In tho field next tho clover," said Phyllis, tho fair.
" Wliycom and potatoes," said Corydon gay;
"Yes, corn nnd potatoes, now kiss mo, I pray,
And tell 1110 you lovo mo; there's nobody near;
No ono to look at us, 110 ono to hear."
"You'ro wrong," said sweet Phyllis, with confi
dent mien.
"You'ro wrong, for wo both can bo heard, sir, and
seen.
I can't Ray 'I lovo you,' nnd kiss you. Not hero,
Whero coninnd potatoes aro growing so near;
To know I am suro you'ro Htifllclcntly wlso
That corn has got ears and potatoes have eyes."

Tho art of etching was introduced about
tho mlddlo of tho Fifteenth century by
Thomas Finigucrra, a Florentine Its vnluo
met with prompt recognition in Franco,
Italy and Germany, but it wns reserved for
later times to enrry it to a state of perfec
tion. It is nu 0cu secret that etching is tho
conwivo action of certain ncids on metal
and glass, tho plates acted upon having been
covered with wax, bearing tho design thnt
has been wrought with tho etcher's nocdlo.
Etching ivns first regarded as an industrial
art, but it soon grow to a higher valuo, re
producing in graceful freedom and precision
of touch tbo very feeling of tho artist.
Cleopatra's Needles.
Thoro wero two so called Cleopatra's
needles. They stood originally at Ilellopolis
iu front of tho great Temple of tho Bun.
After remaining thero 1,000 years thoy woro

tho chief requisite of good carving. A suf
ficiently high seat and a good sired platlor
facilitate thn carver's work very much. For
nny thick joint nnd for a ham, a long, sharp
pointed knlfo should Iks used; for gnmo or
jsoultry n shorter knlfo is profornblo. (lood
Cheer gives wnno useful suggestions In this
artas follows 1
In enrving n turkoy, cut off tho wing near
est first, then tho lot; and nooond joint; then
slice from tho breast, after which insert tho
knlfo liotwoen tho txmon and nearnto them.
The sido bono lies lcsldo tho rump, nnd tho
desired morsel can Ixs taken out without oei
arntlng tho wholo hone.
Ducks and chickens should bo placed on
tho dish with tho broast uppermost, nnd tho
fork should Iks put into it, taking off tho
wings and legs first, without turning tho
fowl; then tho "wlshlsono" should Iks cut out
so as to leave tho well browned skin over it,
and a portion of tho moat. Then thosldo
bono should Iks cut off, nnd tho fowl which is
loft In two, from tho nock down; tho joints
may bo divided also.
Partridges may bo carved llko other fowls,
but thn breast and wings aro not divided
Pigeons may Iks cut in two.
A sirloin of beet should Iks placed on a dish
with tho tenderloin underneath. Thin cut
slices should Iks taken from tho sldo next tho
carver first, then turned ovor to cut tho
tenderloin.
A shoulder of mutton should bo cut across
to tho miildlo of tho txsno first, nnd then from
tho thickest iart till it comes to tho gristlo.
In n forequarter of lamb scparato tho
shoulder from tho ribs, then dlvldo tho ribs.
To carvo n loin of veal, begin at tho small
end and scparato tho ribs. A Allot of veal
should bo cut first from tho top, Iu a breast
of veal tho briskot and breast must bo sep

A ham may Iks carved in several ways.
First, by cutting long, delicate slices through
tho thick fat in tho ccntro down to tho bono,
or by running tho point of tho knlfo In tho

Delicious Oyster Pie.
Lovers of oysters will read tho following
rcclpo with approval: Lino a buttered linking
dish with pantry, and placo iu it n layer of
flno largo oysters. Rub two tablospoonfuls
of butter smooth with as much flour, and
placo small bits of it hero and thero on the
oysters. Bprinklo with pepper nnd salt.
Follow this with anothor layer of oysters,
dotted witli butter nnd soasoned as Iscforo.
Continuo this process until tho dish is full.
Pour in enough oyster liquor to fill tho dish
to within nn inch of tho top, and cover all
with a rich pastry. Bako until a delicate
brown.
Points In Making Angel Cake.
Success in angel enko dcjicnds upon tho
manner of making nnd baking. Miss l'nrloa
directs that tho whites of the eggs should bo
beaten to a stiff, whito froth, then the sugar
beaten gradually into them, nnd finally tho
flour and cream of tartar should Iks added
and tho mixture beaten thoroughly. Now
placo in n very moderate oven and bako
slowly. Thorough lcatliig nnd slow liaking
aro what givo n flno, moist texture. Tho
cream of tartar gives tho cake that pearly
whiteness and neutralizes tho peculiar flavor
of tho whites of tho eggs.
Chicken ninotcs.
Tako cold baked chicken loft from dinner;
freo tho meat from tho bones and chop flno.
Rubnlittlo dried bread into flno crumbs, and
to this add any heated liquor of chicken, or
hot wnter, and moisten tho bread thoroughly.
To a pint bowl full of crumbs and meatr-tho
proportion may Iks as necessity makes it
allow ono teasxxnful of salt, ono of eppcr,
ono of sifted sago and ono heaping teaspoon
ful of butter. Mako into littlo cakes, dust
with flour and fry to a light brown.
Prlzzleil Ileef.
Frizzled beef is ono of tho best of slmplo
breakfast dishes. Bhave very thin half a
pound of dried beef. Melt ono largo tablo
spoouful of butter in a frying pan, add tho
meat, stir over tho flro for alsout twomlnutos,
or until tho butter begins to brown; dredgo
in a littlo flour, stir again, add half a pint of
milk, a very littlo ieppcr, and stir till it
bolls. Add tho beaten yolk of ono egg just
as you tako from tho flro. Sorvo immedi
ately. Cleuiuliig fluid for OIots, Laces, i:tc.
For cleansing kid gloves, laces and ribbons,
tho following is recommended by Hnrper's
Bazar: To two quarts of deodorized benzino
add two drams of sulphuriu other, two drams
of chloroform and four drams of alcohol.
Pour tho fluid in n bowl and wash tho articles
as if in water, rinsing in a fresh supply.
Worth Trying.
American Dmggist tolls how to prepare a
blotter that will wholly romovo ink spots
from paior. Tako a thick blotting paper
and stoop it several times in a solution of
oxnllo acid or oxalato of potassium. Wliilo
tho spot is still moist npply tho prepared
blotter and tho ink will bo entirely removed.
To Wash Pino Illnnkets.
For washing flno blankets tako two gal
lons of wnter, add a half cup each of alcohol
and ammonia, mixed to a suds with castlle
soap. Thoy should bo sopped up nnd down
