tender corn, says a Ynukeo housewife; but If
not qulto as tondcr as you would like, do not
cut too clono to the coo. Uso u sharp lull fa

though sometimes string benus nro used for
tho purpose. When this is tho enso string
them nnd cut in small pieces. When Limn
beans nro ufd they should bo boiled somo
tlmo first, as tlioy requlro longer time to
cook than corn. Uoll till both are qulto
tender, tl-oii cover closely and add a pleco of
butter, n teaspoon ful of salt and somo cp

A New Kind of Stousu Trap.
Ono of Bt. Nicholas' young peoplo, In n

Dear Jack I want to tell you about n now

not think tho slow tin tlo could havo caught
thom, sho asked her boys to watch.
Bo ono day thoy put n mouso iu tho room,
nnd thuy wit uou n table. Pretty soon tho
mouso enmo up and ran upon tho turtle's
luick, nnd, whon It wns near tho head, the
turtle's head camo out in n hurry nud caught
tho mouso. Hut I don't bollovo tho turtle

and ono pint aqua ammonia; put in a bottle

a flunrnisi.fo trick.
Now, supposing the doublo dcuco is tht
domino selected, you toll the person who hai
chosen it that you will count around tb
circle, and whon you havo counted twonty.
including tho uumbor of spoU on tho selected
domino, bo must tell you to stop, and that
your flngor will then rest on tho domino
chosen. The secret is simply this: You
count carelessly around, 1, 9, U, 4, 0, 0, 7, or
any of tho dominoes; but at tho eighth count
you always manage to point to tho doubl
six, and after that you contlnuo counting
around regularly to tho right.
Do suro and remember this, for it Is thi
koy of tho trick. For example, as wo have
before said, wo will suppose tho doublo deucs
to bo the selected domino. We follow th
abovo instructions, and count and point at
tho dominoea promiscuously tho first sovon
counts; but at the eighth count wo point ttt
tho doublo six, and contlnuo to the right on
the six-five, doublo flvo, and so on In succes
sion until wo arrive at tho double deuce,
when wo will ba told to stop, becauso by that
tlmo Wo will havo counted sixteen, to which,
if wo add the fciwts on tho domino chosen, we
will hnvo twenty. This rulo holds good, no
matter what domino happens to bo solocted.
It U porhaps useless to Inform our reader
that bo must not count out loud, or appear to
couut mentally, but lot It soom as if ho were
only jxjlnting at tho dominoes by clianco.
You must let tho person who selects thodom
ino appear to do all tho counting.

Jarvis' California Pear Cider.
This delicious summer beverage is made in California, from very ripe mellow
Dartlett Pears. In the height of the ripening 6cnion many tons of penrs become too
ripe for flipping or canning purposes, (hey can then be utallzcd by pressing them Into
elder. The fresh juice Is boiled down two gallons Into one, and is then strained through
pulverized chnr coal. This hcutlng, condensing nnd straining completely destroys fer-'
mcntntlon.nnd the elder ever afterwards remains sweet and good and is n most healthy
nnd nutritious article for family use.
Knowing there are many spurious ciders sold In this market we offer the abov
explanation with the eminent testimonial of Prof. J. II. Long. Very Respectfully,

I hnve mode made n chemical examination of the sample of Jnrvls' Pear Cider
submitted to ine n few days ago, and would report these points among others noted.
1 he liquid Is noiwilcohollc and has n specific gravity of 10.65. The total extrac
tive matter amounts to 10.35 per cent., containing only .025 per cent of free acid. The
tests show this ncld to be malic acid as usually found In fruit juices. I find no other
ncld or foreign substnnce added for color or flavor.
I believe It, therefore, to consist simply of the juice of the Pear as represented.
Yours truly,
