FRENCH ToAsr.--Beat 8 or 4 eggs.
season with salt and pepper; have ready
some thin slices Of bread; dip them
into the eggs, and fry them in lard Cor
after frying ham) until Of a light brown.
A SAvoRY DIsH.-Melt I 10. good
cheese in the oven. When this Is done
add l beaten egg and q wine glass Of
milk. Beat all these well together, then
bake in a hot oven till a light brown.
CURRIED CHICKEN.-Cut 1 chicken
in pieces and simmer In a pint of rich
stock. Add 2 spoonfuls curry powder
Ito be had at the grocer's), 6 spiced
onions, 4 ounces butter, 8 tomatoes, 4
cup of milk, grated rind and juice Of q
lemon, l ounce stoned r%aisins; take out
the chicken when nearly done and
brown in a fry-pan, in butter; then re-
turn to the stew-pan. Add the lemon
last. This is a delicious dish.
CRACKED WHEAT PUDDING.-Take
| quart of unskimmed milk, add to it 1
gill of cracked wheat, %uncooked, and !
gill of sugar and a small piece Of Gin
namon. Place it in an oven Of mod
crate heat. When about half done stir
in the crust already formed, and leave
it to form another, which will be suf-
~iiciently brown. Try when it is done
by tasting a grain Of wheat, which must
be very soft. This, when cold, makes
IA delicious cream~ pudding.
SPICE CAKE.-Take a teacup of but
ter, 2 pounds of brown sugar, and 8
eggs, beat all well together; then add 4
cup sour milk, with a teaspoonful Of
soda in; then 2 teaspoonfuls each of
ground cloves, cinnamon, allspice, and
l nutmeg; then % cups flour; last of all
2 cups chopped r~aisins. Bake in slow
oven, and you will have an excellent
cake, and one that will last through hot
weather. And here allow me to tell
you, if raisins are put in a cake the last
thing, and stirred only just enough to
mix, your raisins will not fall to the
bottom of the cake. Use the above re-
cipe-omitting the milk-dissolve soda
in little hot water, and you will have
very nice cookies.
CLEANING OILCLoTHs.-Wash with
warm water; $50 deg. hot cracks the
varnish. Soap is necessary in smoky
districts, though it can not be used with
out dulling the colors somewhat. If a
sponge is used, examine thoroughly for
shells; they scratch the varnish. The
dirt thus removed, rewash the whole
with sweet milk and water; then wipe
dry. The milk makes the surface
smooth; dirt does not catch readily to
it; the oil in the milk tends to restore
the colors. Gentle friction with an old
silk handkerchief will give a polish
which children delight to slip down
upon.
STRAWBERRY SHORT-CAKE.-1 quart
of flour, sifted; l t%easpoonful of salt, 2
teaspoonfuls of cream-tartar, a piece of
batter the size of a large egg; rub it in
the flour well; dissolve l teaspoonful
of soda in a tablespoonful Of water, and
put the soda.water in 2 cups of milk;
bake in a quick oven. Take 8 pints of
berries, press half, and then put the
other berries in save some of the juice
and mix some sugar with it; split the
cake, butter it, and lay mixture be-
tween. Peaches cut up, sugared, and
mixed with a little cream or milk; or
oranges cut up with sugar and laid be-
tween the cake, are also very nice.

RESCUED FROM A
4 Tale OF Southern Texas.

III VI SOutncfn IeIas.
There is no country in the world more
pleasant to the eye, in early spring, than
Southern Texas, particularly that por-
ton bordering on Matagorda Bay-the
level prairie looking like a beautiful
lawn, with long spaces of m~any-colored
flowers dotting the emerald expanse like
fragments of fallen rainbow. Clumps
of trees, suggestive of distant islands,
break the stretches of green away to the
north, while east and west the dense
growth along the river bottoms forms a
background to the beautiful picture.
At this season of the year the cattle
that have been feeding in the bottoms
during the winter, with its cold northers,
come out with their young, and in
peaceful herds revel in the short, fresh
grass. Deer by hundreds are constant
ly in sight, and the rivers and BAYS
swarm with iish beneath and wild fowl
above.
There are many beautiful homes bor-
dering Matagorda Bay to the north, but
none that, in elegance and surround.
ings, equals that of Judge Delmar. He
was once a wealthy planter, and is now
one of the richest stock-growers of that
wonderful pasture-land. A wife and a
son and daughterconstitute the Judges
family at the time I speak of.
To write "Belle Delmar was beauti-
full" would be simplyt to pen what every
body said who knew her. And even
the less favored maidens, who might be
inclined to envy Belle the attentions her
beauty brought, acknowledged, one and
all "she was rs good and accomplish
ed as she was sweet and beautiful"
And this must be acknowledged to be
nigh and certainly deserved compli-
ment, coming from such a source.
In Texas, where men hold land in
proportion to the immense size of the
state farms, or rather houses, are very
far apart, and, to one accustomed to the
densely populated East, 1t would seem
as IL the neighborly feeling could no,

Modern Women:

1t is a sad commentary upon our
boosted civilization that the women of our
times have degenerated in health and pbis-
ique until they are literally race of invalids
pale. nervous, feeble and back.aclly, with
only here and there few noble exceptions in
the persons OF the robust, buxom ladies char
acteristic Of the sex in days gone by. BY a
very large experience, covering period OF
years, and embracing The treatment of MANY
thousands of cases Of those ailments peculiar
to Women, DR.. Pierce, OF the Worlds Dix
pensary, Buffalo, N. Y, has perfected, by the
combination of certain vegetable extracts. a
natural specific, which he does not extol as a
cpre-all, but one which admirably fulflls q
singleness Of purpose, being Almost positive
und reliable remedy for those weaknesses and
complaints that aflict the women of the pres
ent day: This natural specific compound il
called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The
following are among those diseases in which,
this wonderful medicine has worked cures AZ
ifby magic and with certainty never before
attained by any medicines: Weak back. ner-
vous and general debility, falling and other
displaoements Of internal organs, resulting
from debility and lack Of strength in natural
supports, internal fever, congestion, inflam-
nation and liberation and very many other
chronic diseases incident to women, not pro-
per to mention here, in which, as well as in
the cases that have been enumerated, the
Favorite Prescription effects cure-the marvel
Of the world. It will not do harm in any
state or condition of the system, and by
adopting its use the invalid lady may avoid
that severest Of ordeals-the consulting Of q
family physician. Favorite Prescription is
sold by dealers in medicines generally.
