I (us SLOW GROWTH

Mistletoe Develops Slowly in First Years of Existence. Parasite Occurs on Wide Rang of Trees and Is Common on That of the Apple, but Rarely Appears on the Pear. IiOndon. The very plow growth made by the mistletoe plant In the first few years of its existence haa been a causo of anxiety to thoso. who have fondly hoped to grow largo bunches of mistletoe in their gardens in a short space of tune. In support of your correspendei.t s views 1 am sending a photograph showing two large bunches of mistletoe on a whitethorn, says a writer in Country Lift. It Is very curious, for the mistletoe is obviously older than the host plant. This, however, has been accomplished by removing the mistletoe with a portion of the tree on winch it was growing and grafting upon the whitethorn. Your correspondent's success in growing mistletoe on the Glastonbury thorn raises the question of suitable host plants for the parasite It Is most often seen growing upon the apple, but in certain districts it Is cqmarion on the poplar, while it is also found on hawthorn, willow, lime, maple, mountain ash. and even cedar of Lebanon and larch. There is a popular impression that mistletoe has a great liking for Mistletoe's Host Grafted on a Whitethorn. the oak. At a matter of fact, the two are very seldom found together, and the rare occurrence of ruistietoe growing upon oak was held sacred by the Druids and regarded as a divine gift. A most singular thing concerning mistletoe is that, although it occurs on a wide range of trees and is so common on the apple, yet it is hardly ever found on the pear. The writer has never seen mistletoe on the pear, and such instances must be extremely rare. Attempts recently made to grow mistletoe on pear have led to such remarkable results that the subject has since been brought before tho scientific committee of the Royal Horticultural society. Mistletoe seed was nun rn a niimhor nf trees and in ' many Instances germination took place. In no case, however, did the mistletoe get beyond the stage of germination, and no leaves w ere made. The effect upon the pear was noticeable, for the mistletoe in its attempt to establish itself killed the tissue of the tree stem Just within the bark, completely encircling the stem, all growth being killed above the point where tho mistletoe had germinated.

LIGHTNING BALKED BY ROPE Saves Cow's Life After Bolt Had Melted Heavy Chain Holding Animal. LentsvUle, N. C- Lightning ,erpetrated quite an unusual freak ncre during the electrical storm. Haiden Kvans had a cow tied with a chain which had been lengthened with a piece of rope some three feet in length and this piece of rope was fixed to tho halter. The lightning struck tho post to which the chain was tied, completely shattering it. and followed the chnin down to where the rope was fixed. The chain links were melted into a solid mass and could easily he broken apart with the hand. The rope being attached Is the only reason the cow escaped b dng killed Instantly.

COOKED CHEESE BEST

DAINTY TITBITS THAT AH t NOT INDIGESTIBLE Toasted and Served on Sultme Crackers With a Dash of Worcester shire Is an English Favorite Variations of the Rabbit. ( hies,, ih credited with containing as much nutriment In one pound as continued in two pounds of beef. It bothers the digestion of home, but the melting or cooking of it does away with this trouble, and there an who believe that the merits of clue are all on the side of ease of digestion und that is one reason why il has ,1 ways remained tho last dish of till dinner. In the old days when heavy ffed.i . and many bottles of port were dinner fashions, the dish of cheese was of immense importance. It was uot a mor sei then us it is now to give zest to the meal. Huge chooses were brought whole to the banquet board and went carved and served with a great flour ish I'.lg Stilton cheeses were scooped out and filled with champagne for sp ciai occasions, and many mixtures were made of the softer creams with butter and wine, forming a paste to spread on crackers. Toasted cheese is a great fclnglish delicacy, but for some reason it is tu t much in favor In this country exec : in the "rabbit." The old London tavern on Fleet street, the t'hesbir cheese, got its name from the excel lence of its toasted cheese. A hauc'.v way to cook cheese in the mania r called toasted is to chop or grate S quantity of It the mild American cream is best and then spread it neat ly on saltino crackers l",.ie tbea side by. side on a I!at pan and put teem in utider the broiler long enough to melt the cheese. With a drop of Worcestershire these are very dainty ai.d appetizing. The ordinary rabbit much ;th me!" ed cheese blended with ale or beer and poured over buttered toast salines 'uost people, but there are varin tions One ay is to boil large onions, chop them und mix them with butter, 'un. salt, mustard and a small cup of grated eheese. This can be poured r toast or crackers. Broiled sardines also mix nicely In a rabbit. They are placed on the toast, skinned and boned, and the cheese is poured over them. A Mexican way is to use tomatoes. Ilreak up half a cupful of American cream cheese and rub It to u pasto with butter, mixed mustard, a little t ream and tabasco sauce. Stir this as It melts and have this sauce ready a It melts. Three peeled tomatoes, an onion and a chopped pepper cooked together. Treating a Smoked Wall. If the celling nf your wall Is smoked or even, as In the case of kitchens, the entire surface Is befogged from the acI cumulation of cooking fumes, It will be 1 well to go over the surface with lime water first before applying a 1 1 .it i f ' paint Walls done this way will be reI newed with one coat of paint, whir two would be needed to eradicate the damage from smoke and grease. The lime water may be applied hastily with a whitewash brush, and a five-cent piece of lime will make enough t cover the surface of any good sw room, while the cost and labor of applying an extra coat of paint would be considerable. Pineapple Cocktail. An economical cocktail is made of pineapple hulls. Cut the pineapple In slices and place the outside and all portions of the pineapple that are not good enough lor th table In a porelain kettle. Holl 20 minutes. Strain and cool. Add to this the Juice of a lemon and some of the Juice from Um fresh pineapple. Four this over MMN I fmtih ,...., I. mi vliiuue Do not ii..,, i 1 1 i i i i ... n - - - make it too sweet.
