One Way to Dress It and a Royal Way
t o Grow It
If ever an anthology of the foods of
the earth comes to be written quite an
entertaining chapter could be made out
of the cucumber And some of the ex
tracts would provide material for much
mental exercise to decide whether they
are humorous or serious For exam
ple what did the Greek poet mean
when he said of a certain woman
She was to me
More tender than a cucumber
Only one meaning would have been
taken from that equivocal statement
by that famous doctor who used to de
clare that the only way to dress a cu
cumber is to cut it into very thin
slices sprinkle it with the Gnest of oil
pepper it plentifully cover it with vin
egarand then throw it out of the
window On the other hand Thack
eray tells how he had delicate cucum
hor5 Rfnffpfi with forcemeat while
Dickens refers to salmon Iamb peas
innocent young potatoes a cool salad
sliced cucumber a tender duckling
all there Both novelists were evi
dently men after the heart of the Em
peror Tiberius who was never with
out cucumbers and had frames made
upon wheels by means of which the
growing cucumbers could be moved
about and exposed to the full beat of
the sun while in winter they were
withdrawn and placed under the pro
tection of frames glazed with mirror

Yet two or three centuries ago the
vegetable was looked at suspiciously

FEAR OF LIGHTNING
It Is Hardly Justified by the Number
of Deaths It Causes
Why are so many people brave un
der all other circumstances so deathly
afraid of thunder and lightning
It is not because lightning is so dan
gerous for it isnt half so dangerous
as going out of the houso on an icy
morning walking down the cellar
stairs or a hundred other things we
do every day without a thought of
personal harm More people are killed
each year by falling building material
more die from fright than are killed
by lightning The census bureau shows
only 1G9 people killed by lightning in
this entire country during a given
year and only thirty of these people
were killed in the cities Heat and
the sun killed 7G3 during the same
year 203 died from cold and freezing
and 4395 were drowned
But you will find it quite a waste of
time during a thunderstorm to try to
ease the fears of a person who is
afraid by telling him or her that the
chances of being killed by lightning
are less than two in a million they
will remain just as frightened for all
this mortuary knowledge And after
the storm has passed and nerves are
steadied the woman who was so
frightened a few minutes before will
start getting supper on the gas stove
smiling through her tears that the
danger has all passed and only laugh
ing if you venture the remark that
twice as many people are killed by gas
stoves as by lightning Country Life

PUFFED THEIR OWN WARES
Authors In the Good Old Days Threw
Bouquets at Themselves
Authors in the good old days were
not above writing their own puffs
Charles Reade wrote a long article on
himself for Once a Week in which he
said
It Is impossible to speak too highly of
The Cloister and the Hearth It is ono
of the most scholarliUe and learned as
well as one of the most artistic and beau
tiful works of fiction in any language
Read him Resign yourself to the magic
spell of his genius The effect of Foul
Play is perfectly marvelous It leaves
the stories of every other sensational nov
el writer far behind
Nor was Balzac in France above
praising his own works If you have
not been born a story teller he wrote
in a review you will never obtain
the popularity of M de Balzac And
what a story teller What verve and
wit How the world is dissected by
this man What passion and cool
ness
But the height of literary advertis
ing in the first half of the last cen
tury was reached in the case of Eu
gene Sues famous novel The Wan
dering Jew Every little while the
daily installment in the newspaper in
which it was appearing would be miss
ing and in its place woijl be an an
nouncement that M Sue was suffering
from a slight indisposition and read
ers would be obliged to wait forty
eight hours for new developments of
the narrative So well did these meth
ods succeed says Mr Tassin that it
was impossible to buy outright a copy
of the journal but instead copies were
rented out at 10 sous for half an hour
the time thought necessary to read the
installment And all the while Sue
himself was industriously abetting the
publishers by posing overdressed and
with spurs to his boots at the Cafe de
Paris in an attitude of deepest ab
straction as if wondering what the
next installment would be about

CATCHING COLD
Due to Infection and Not at All to
Changes In the Weather
Have you ever noticed in church
Immediately after a prayer or a ser
mon is finished some one starts a
cough and then a whole battery of
roughs explode The modern physi
cian will tell you by wiy ot explana
tion that microbe emanations from the
breath of the coughors find their way
into the respiratory tract of others
who thereupon cough too Not alone
in church but in theaters and other
indoor places where people gather in
large numbers is this coughing habit
noticeable
In an article dealing with this sub
ject published in the Independent it is
explained that colds are slight infec
tious fevers which spread particularly
among the population of cities and
which are due to contagion and not at
all to changes in the weather These
may predispose by lowering resistive
vitality and by disturbing the circula
tion in mucous membranes but it Is
the presence of an infectious germ
that gives rise to the symptoms of the
cold When one of these bothersome
affections gets into a household usual
ly more than one person suffers from
it and it spreads in offices and schools
and the like It is much more fre
quently caught in a crowd than any
where else
The people who have a succession of
colds during the winter time and
those who have to work where many
people come and go during the day
are particularly susceptible to them
It Is not to some sudden change in the
weather that the physician looks for
the origin of a cold but to some rath
er intimate contact with other suffer
ers from similar affection
FAT AND FLOWERS
Extracting Their Dainty Perfumes
From Odorous Blossoms
By a process known as enfleurage
which is the exposure of beef fat to
fresh flowers in closed boxes until it
is thoroughly permeated and charged
with their odors the perfumes of va
rious flowers are obtained which could
not otherwise be so effectually pre
served apart from the fresh petals
Those flowers are violet jasmine tube
rose rose orange flower and cassic
cinnamon flowers From those six
there are fifty or more combinations
made for the simulation of the odors
accumulation of a kind of seaweed
which upheld at the surface of the
water by innumerable little air vessels
that act as floats is continually re
newed by the breaking up of its fronds
and the growth of the broken parts
Many fishes have established their
homes in it as well as numerous swim
ming crabs small cuttlefish and quite
a variety of other creatures
Most remarkable of all Its inhabit
ants is the mouse fish which has pec
toral fins developed in such a way as
to resemble arms By these it holds
on to the fronds of the weed a crea
ture of solitary habits highly carnivo
rous and always waiting for some
prey to come within reach It is a
fish of very peculiar appearance with
ever so many queer looking appen
dages and In color it imitates closely
the plant that affords it shelter being
green with white spots
The flying fishes that inhabit the
floating meadow make ball like nests
out of fronds of the weed as big as
two fists Such balls are found float
ing and appear as if knit together
with elastic threads They are filled
with eggs Professor Louis Agassiz
mistook them for nests of the mouse
fish but Dr Theodore Gill an emi
nent authority has proved this to have
been an error Each one of these
nests is composed of a single frond
which by commencing with the slen
derest outer branchlets and peeling
them successively off can be spread
out entire New York World
Magnets In Needle Factories
In factories where needles are made
the grindstones throw off great quan
tities of minute steel particles al
though the dust is too fine to be per
ceptible to the eye Breathing the dust
shows no immediate effect but gradu
ally sets up irritation usually ending
in pulmonary consumption and for
merly almost all the workmen died be
fore the age of forty Ineffective at
tempts were made to screen the air by
gauze or linen guards for nose and
month At length the use of the mag
net was suggested and now masks of
magnetized steel wire are worn by
workmen and effectually remove the
metal dust before the air is breathed

1 happened to meet an organist
from Edinburgh who told me that in
the throes of that electoral fight Mr
Gladstone soothed and steadied him
self with music Having arranged a
time for the organ practice he was
provided with a key by means of
which he could enter the church quite
privately Silently and alone he would
sir in one of the pews with his fore
head resting on his hands while the
organist played over a number of fa

The listener ueither looked up nor
spoke until the hour compelled him to
move Then with a Thank you he
passed out to throw himself again Into
the bustling political contest
