and quite economical, too they are

and soak them in milk, sweet or sour,

up fine with a spoon. For Il quart OF
the bread and milk add a beaten egg,
half teaspoonful of salt. and a tea

other way, without the use Of lcayen.
If YOU fail the first time, heat your
oven better, and try again. Almost al !
who have tried this bread like it, if
they are not hopelessly prejudiced
against graham in any form. Cold
mush, oatmeal, Graham. or corn
meal, kneaded stiff and baked in this
way, is relished by some more than
the first, but it is not SO universally
popular as the hard ssrolls.

DREAM.

Bend down to me closer, mother dear,
and let me whisper in your ear.

In q sweet pale gold that lit the blue;
So lovely light | never knew.
And | thought at the foot ct way-"orn

And over river deep there ran
A bridge of this light in single span.
And dreamed and dreamed

AS it seemed to me.
Over this river, across It's blue,
Were lambs that cleaned.
They were as white as the frozen snow
So white that they seemed to SHINE, you
know.
But now dear mother. hear the rest,
For this is the part love the best:
Down to the river shepherd came:
y And he called your little boy by name

But | cannot tell the half to you
His dear face beamed,
And his eyes, how kind they were. and

How sweet it seemed!
And he pointed me to the golden span,
The bridge that over the river ran,
And he said, Sweet lamb, dear little lamb,
Venture across, the river is calm
The sunshine streamed
And touched the shaft of the wayside cross,
And the white lambs seemed
To wait for me as came across.

Boiled Potatoes.

But few cooks put upon table y
plain boiled potato that is fit to be TAX
en- into the stomach. This rule, if
followed. makes a potato not only
palatable, but digestible: Peal and
put into cold water say one dozen
peachblowirotatoes, and let them stand
an hour Qonger will not hurt them j
wash them out of the water and put
them into boiling water enough to
cover them in saucepan with close
fitting cover throw in tablespoon
full of salt, and let them boil half an
hour turn off the water, and stand the
saucepan on the back of the range or
stove for five or ten minutes, keeping
the cover tightly closed, as herein
lies the secret of having potato look
like a SNOWFALL. Serve in a covered
dish. and keep them covered until
wanted for the plate. Most cooks lift
the cover off the saucepan to let
the steam escape. This makes the
potato heavy and indigestible.

The story goes that q young couple

to procure license, and, while they
were waiting the arrival OF the proper
functionary to issue it, the bride
asked leave to enter ''the closet to
fix her dress. The request was grant

that perhaps it might be better to have
her repair to the Sheriff's residence TO
arrange her toilet. He therefore
asked leave Of the sheriff, and, receiy-

about to inform the lady that he had
found more convenient place for her

bride and bridegroom within the
depths of the fire-proof vault, the lady
