ems, stewed and seeded, one cup Of
bread crumbs, one cup Of sugar. one cup
of molasses, one cup or vinegar, one
teaspoonful of cinnamon, one teaspoon
full Of cloves One-half cup Of butter,
can be added if desired.
NICE COOKIES Two cups OF sugar. one
Gun of sour cream, one teaspo0nful OF
soda, one teaspoonful of salt, mix soft
and bake quick. Flavor to suit the
taste.
MINUTE SoUP.-Excellent for supper
where something warm is desired, or
for the little folks when they return
from school "almost starved to death. :"
Light bread or crackers crumbled in a
bowl or deep dish, add lump Of butter,
half cup of sweet cream, plenty of
pepper and salt, if fond of onions cut a
few slices thin and lay over the top and
pour over plenty of boiling water, and
you will be surprised to see how good it
is. If not fond of onions, add an egg
well beaten, after the water is poured
over, and stir well.
SCRAMBLED EGGs.-Put butter and rich
milk or thin cream in your spider, and
when hot break in as many eggs as
wished for your family and stir them
gently till they set, then aid salt and
pepper and remove before they get hard.
SHoRrcAKEs, One cup of butter,
one quart of flour, little salt, three
heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
sweet milk enough to make a dough as
soft as can be well handled: roll out
quickly one-half inch thick, and bake in
pie plates or small square tins made for
the purpose: when done, split and
butter slightly, put on each layer u
generous supply of strawberries, rasp-
berries, blackberries, chopped pineap-
pies, sliced oranges or peaches; do not
mash the berries; sprinkle the fruit with
powdered sugar, and pour four or five ia
ble-spoonfuls of whipped cream over it;
pour over the whole cake whipped
cream mixed with little of the fruit.
WHITE BBEAD-Set rather thick
sponge at night, using two yeast cakes
for four common-sized loaves. Mix
with warm water, never with milk. In
the morning add to the sponge one cup
of butter and three tablespoonful of SUI
gar beaten to q cream, and one teaspoon
full OF salt, then add flour to make as
soft as can be handled, and mold one
hour. Let it rise till very light, then
mold again few minutes-not more
than ten Let it rise again, but not so
light, then squeeze it apart to make
loaves, Mold each loaf five minues.
When light rub a little melted butter
over the top Of each loaf and bake.
Bread made like this is deliciously ten

poses, but the land for pasturage is what
was rejected as unsuitable for any other
use. Sometimes piece Of land original
ly productive is devoted 10 pasture pur-
then sown to grain for period equally
long, and then laid down to grass suited
for moving purposes. After the crop Of
grass becomes so light that it scarcriy
pays for the work of cutting. the farmer
concludes that the only thing he can do
with the land is to devote it to support
ing stock during the summer when he
expects to make the most out of them.
There are no evidences of benefcieRt
design in most of the pastures in this
country. They are the work of chance
or neglect.-Eew York Times.

A Seaside Belle.

A watering place observer thus de-
'scrIbes a seaside belle: "She was tall,
slim, and, in herself, commonplace.
Her gown was made of light yellow sa-
teen, hugely lowered in olive. A long,
straight untrinmed skirt reached from
her feet nearly to her arm-pits, where
it met mere fragment of waist. A
belt went around her body a foot
above the usual place, and olive rib
boon, crossing her bosom and back, pro-
vided her support in the absence Of
stays. She was such an acute develop
ment of the esthetic craze, such reaii-
cation Of a figure from a painting of
centuries ago, that, to the eye of an ar
fist, she might have been agreeably
picturesque, but she found no favor in
the throng of contemporaneously fash
ionable women"

What angel VOL, effortless and sure,

That tremulous joy, so keen, SO pure
That all existence narrows to one sense.
Tapped round and round
In rapture Of sweet sound2
On, low It wins along the steep, and loud and loud,
Over the chasm and the cloud,
Swells in its lordiy tide
Higher and higher, and uudenjed.

Over the closing eyes,
Dies with my spirit away, afar
Swayed as on oceah's breast,
Dies into rest.

scandinavian peasants like grand names for
their little ones, such as Adolph, Adricin, Got
fried, Gustavus, for boys, and Josephine,
Thora, Ingeborg, for girls and if they have no

for the particular day of babys birth 1t IS
taken to church the next Sunday and taken To
church by the godmother, who provides the
christening garments, which are often trimmed
with coored bows, while the infant has beads
around its neck and wears a cap with
very little border The clergyman holds It
well over the font and pours water
over the back of the head three times, then
wipes with towel As the baby is swathod
in six inch -wids bandages so that II can not
move its legs and sometimes not even lts
arms ii Is obliged to lie very passive durlug
the ceremonial. The peasants have their rea
sons for this swathing, the first Of which IS
that they think It makes the limbs grow
straight; tie second, that it turns baby into
compact bundle to carry When ewathed thus,
infants have been said to resemble the tail OF
a lobster, or even its whole body. In the North
they are often hung from long sprlngy pole
stuck in the wall, to be out of the way: and,
being by nature quiet, they are sup
posed not to mind it. Their era
dies which re very primitive,
are also frequently suspended by spiral
spring from the roof which must be more
comfortable than the pole. Both IN swedish
and Norwegian Laplaud people take these
sswadilings' to church. But instead OF car
rying them into church thew make hole in the
snow outside III the churclyard and bury them
in it. leaving a shall aperture for breathing

building have their boards frozen to their fur

Preserved Butter.

This phrase has long been applied in
Germany and Dutch seaboard cities to
selected butter, Intended for export or
for use ON shipboard in long voyages. 1t
is suspected that such butter, for which
Denmark has the highest reputation,
will keep for two years under any wealth
err, when so packed. 1t has a golden
yellow color, much like that of fully RI
pened hat straw. When the flat side OF
q knife blade is gently pressed down on
its surface minute drops of clear brine
should appear, not in the least milky;
and no butter, but only droplets of the
same clear brine, should adhere to the
back side of the fryer when drawn out,
these qualities should be exhibited when
the sample of butter has stood long
enough in cool room at temperature
of 56 degrees Fahrenheit to take this
temperature TO the center of the mass.
The analysis of several samples of the
butter shows that it contains
an average of only two per cent.
of salt, four per cent. being usual,
ly added to the fresh butter and
halfof it worked out It's remarkable
qualities seem to be due not to large
proportion of salt, nor yet to an unusu-
ally small proportion of the heterogeneous
matters of the milk, in which matters
the decomposition ending in rancidity
is supposed to start; it keeps so well
largely because of the perfectly unre-
tainted condition of this matter when
the butter is first made. If, through
carelessness in the management of the
milk or cream, or untidiness in respect
to the utensils of the dairy, the smallest
quantity of tainted heterogeneous matter
is left in the butter, the seed thus sown
may soon spoil the entire mass. 1t has
been found that the long keeping butter
can be made from sour as well as sweet
cream. Those who handle it have also
observed that summer butter, and es-
uecialy that made in early autumn has
the best keeping qualities. Much care
in the winter feeding of cows and in
keeping their stalls clean and well-ven-
tilated is required in order to get but
ter from stall fed COWS in any season,
whether winter or summer. which
equals that from cows that run in past
ur6.
