FRIED CUCUMBERS IN WINTER,—Last winter | B friend of ours made the discovery that even in the depth of winter she could have fried cucum- bers, which, if not quite equal to those prepared from the vegetable ireshiy gathered out of a fewy garden, were a most palatable change from the usual winter dishes, and were considered a luxury by all who surrounded her breakfast table. To prepare them, take large cucumbers which have been put down in brine for pickles, and soak them in tepid water until the salt is Well out of them. Cut each cucumber length- ‘wise into slices a third of an inch thick, roll in four, and fry in butter. As soon as one side is brown, turn and brown the other; season with pper, but unless the cucumbers have been le Very fresh, they will need nosalt, If none ut medium-sized clicumbers are to be had, they lay be used by cutting them in two instead of slicing them.— Harper's Bazur, Goop Doveuxvts.—Three pints of flour, but- ter the size of an egg, one cup of sugar, one egg, @small bowiful of milk or water, and four tea- spoonfuls of baking powder; flavor with nutmeg | oreinnamon.

The University of Pennsylvania Inves- tigating the Mediums. From the Philadelphia Press. Dr. Henry Slade, spirit medium, slate writer and table-tipper, recently found himself in a large, well-lighted room, surrounded by the learned men of the University of Pennsy who were appointed under the will of the Henry Seybert, a evmmission to investigate modern spiritualism. In the presence of this distinguished jury Dr. Slade performed his slate-writing trick. In doing this he takes two clean and apparently new slates, places them together with a scrap of slate pencil between, and holds them under the table. After an int Yoeation of so ascratching is heard, and when the slates are opened they ure found cov- ered with writing.

Mr. Seybert was one of the principal visitors of the Bliss spiritualistic tricksters, who were so completely exposed in this city. He was freely bled, finauelally.

About the time the Blisses were exposed they were pre- paring to materialize, as they asserted, the spirit of the Virgin Mary for Mr. Séybert’s declaration. The price of the seance was to be $100. When the conspirators were tried Mr. Seybert avoided service of the subpena, and in consequence of his great age it was not pressed. His valet testified that he had transported the poultry to the Bliss mansion. It was not known wheiher his faith was shaken by the exposure of the swindlers.

Hewasone of the most singularly attractive and handsome young fellows Iever met. When he came to my house he was nearly helpless from a terrible strain given to his back and side by heavy lifting on his last voyage. He had no money to fee physicians and he had a horror of being sent to the hospital. ‘Don't fret, Dick,’ I said, ‘T'll soon fix you.’ Getting out my box of Benson's Capcine Plasters, which I always keep on hand for just such uses, I put three plasters on Dick, one on hisside and two on his back; then told him to rest easy for a week or two. Within that time he bad a good chance toship for the West Indies and what fs better still, he was in condition to do his duty. I often give Benson's plasters to sailors to take to sea with them, for use in emergencies as wellas for all their aches and pains,and in returning they always have ayarn to spinabout what a benefit the plasters were.” We quote from Mr. E. Boudrot, proprietor of the, Cape Breton house for Seamen, No. 11 Tileston street, Boston, But Benson's plasters are equally good for landsmen, Hear two or three of the latter: “After twelve days of terrible pain In the back from lifting, one of Benson's plasters relieved me in 24 hours.” F, De Silva, 170 Salem street, Boston. “Istrained my back from heavy lifting in my busi- ness, A Benson's plaster relieved me entirely in 24 hours.” Philip Johns, Hardware Merchant, Kansas City, Mo. “Ihave used Benson's plasters on my sidle after frac- turing my ribs and found them excellent.” H.
