sBroited Steak. There ought to be law
making it crime punishable by imprison-
ment, to fry beefsteak. Broil it; it is just
as easy and when 1t is broiled it is delicious.
Fried beefsteak is not fit for wild beast.
You can broil even on stove. Shut the
front damper, open the back one, and then
take off a griddle. There will be draft
downwards through this opening. Put on
your steak, using a wire broiler, and not
particle of smoke will touch it, for the rea-
son that the smoke goes down. If you try
to broil it with the front damper open, the
smoke will rise. For broiling, coal, even
soft coal, makes better fire than wood.
Baked Hsmimy Grits.-One quart of milk,
one cupful Of hominy, two eggs and little
salt ;salt the milk and boil, then stir in the
hominy and boil for twenty minutes; set
aside and fully cool. beat eggs to stiff
freth and them we'll and hard into the hom-
imp Bake half an hour. . 4aa
TO Scramble Eggs.-Put teacup of sweet
milk into stew pan; rub a teaspoonful of
flour into piece of butter the size of an
egg, add this to the milk salt to taste. Beat
half dozen eggs light stir into the milk.
AS soon as the eggs are well set, pour over
buttered toast. Serve hot The toast may
be omitted. This is mach more delicate
way of cooking them than to scramble them
in lard or butter without the milk.
Marvels.-Six eggs, two and half cups
OF sugar, half cup of sour milk, half
cup Of butter, a teaspoonful of soda (dis-
solved in the milk wineglassful of wine,
one grated nutmeg, flour enough to form
dough. Roll out about one-half of an inch
thick, cut in long strips, and fry brown in
boiling lard. The wine may be lett out if
desired.
Making Wheat Cofee.-Wheatc coffee, when
properly prepared, makes wholesome and
nutritious beverage. Wash the wheat
through two or three waters then boil un-
til quite soft; brain the water off and brown
in skillet stirring all the time, till the
wheat is a dark brown color. If one-fourth
genuine coffee is added, it is superior coffee,
both rich and finely favored.
Eggs are said to be healthier poached
than any other way they can be cooked.
Alexandria Pudding-One pint of sifted
flour, three gills OF milk, ono Gill of rich
cream, six apples, four eggs, a salt-spoon of
salt: pare the apples, and take out the cores
without cutting them. Beat the batter very
smooth, and pour over the apples. Bake
enc hour; serve with cream sauce.

| We would state in reply that it is a little
difficult at this age of our country to say
just what variety of timber is best to grow
on timber claims. The cottonwood is the
cheapest and easiest grown of anything that
has yet been tried, and it is of considerable
service when grown. But we would not a6-

/ able to grow better variety. The cot
tonwood is regarded by many writers as the
poorest tree in the forest, although in tim
berless country it does first rate. We be-
lieve that Usage orange or locust would
grow we'll, and the seed could be easily pro-
cured from western nurserymen. Elm will
also grow very luxuriantly, and we have
seen black walnut growing in Montana gar
dens, but it winter kills. As to growing
these or any other trees without irrigation.
we are not prepared to say that it will be
success We believe it will require water in
starting any variety that may be selected.
After several years growth has been attain
ed, it will require but little water, and when
the trees are large enough to thoroughly
shade the ground no water will be required.
There are few localities where timber can
be started and grown without irrigation,
but they are few indeed. The object in
growing timber should be to get the most
serviceable variety, provided it is sufficiently
hardy to stand our climate. The Russian
mulberry, introduced into Nebraska by the
Menonites, is poving to be just the tree tor
timber claims in that State, and from what
is said of it we believe it would be the tree
for Montana. 1t is servceable wood,
grows rapidly and is very hardy, and we
would recommend its trial. We cannot Sc
lect for our correspondent, not knowing his
means. Russian mulberry would be our
first choice, locust, Usage orange or elm sec,
ond, aud our native cottonwood, generally
designated as "Balm of Gilead." last This
may be planted by laying poles and branches
of the fresh-cut trees in burrows and cover
ing them with plow. The others may be

rour nurseryman can supply Usage orange
and locust seed, and most any Nebraska
nurseryman can supply or give information
in regard to the Russia. mulberry. The
elm can be had of any nursery east or west,
north or south If any OF our readers have
had any experience on the subject that is
worthy of mention, We would be pleased to
hear trom them.

MONTANA land usually produces better the
second year than the first particularly if it
is soddy. Loose sage lands, of course, pro-
duce as well the first year as any, and sod
lands plowed the fall previous also yield
well. But the majority of our farmers who
put in new land do not have time to plow it
before seed time, and sften fail to get the
sod sufficiently broken, hence the failure to
yield as it otherwise would. Yet new sod
lands yield better than land that has been
cropped half dozen years in succession in
the same grain. They will yield from twen-
ty to twenty five bushels of wheat and thirty
bushels of oats:

EARLY in May is unquestienably the best
time to set strawberry plants. The most
successful growers set them i'll rows about
three feet apart in the row. The runners
are all kept off and large hills produced by
fall. They are then covered in November
and tull crop obtained the following June.
A new bed is set each spring and the old
one plowed up after fruiting unless plants
are wanted, when the straw covering is re-
moved and the plants left to run for another
year. A large crop of fine young plants are
thus produced at small cost.-Seedtinae and

The Clever Women Of Mexico.
Exch anGr

Spanish tradition respecting the fair sex has no, entirely died out in Mexico. and it is with some difficulty thzf a woman is able to do any work except that of teach ing.
 The stand taken by Senorita Aontova, of Puebla. IS worthy of notice. At the age of thirteen years th,s remarkable girl had finished the course of study at the young ladies academy where she at tended. but she was refused fznai ex- animation because II was never given to pupils under sixteen.
 Resolved to waste no time, she pursued alone the studies of bo,any. philosophy, chemistry and other subjects preparatory to the study of medicine, upon winch her whole mind was bent. Before she was fifteen her father. an officer in the army. died, leaving the family penniless. and she at once. assuming the support of her wid- owed mother, took up the business of nursing. making a special study of the disease of her own sex.
 Under private tutor she studied Greek, Latin. and mathematics, and at length applied for admission to the medical col lege at puebla. After much opposition she succeeded in obtaining permission from the government, ,o enter as srec;a! student While pursuing her studies she has supported herself by teaching and by acting as physician in the Woman's hos pi,al. She has recently passed an ex- animation with high honors. and will soon receive her degree as doctor of med icine. She IS now about twenty-five years old.
 Art culture is also weH developed among Mexican women. At the recent exhibition of painting held to celebrate the centennial of the ac cademy of me arts in the City of Mexico. the second prize was awarded to Senorita Elena Barre,ro, the hrs, having been given to Felix Para, young Mexican artis, of remarkable genius, now pursuing his studies in Ell rope.

Are creeds Changing ?
Harrisburg Telegram. ]

In order to get expressions of opinion upon this important subject from persons who might be expected to have the lar gest data upon which to form valid ludg-
 ments. the NovM Amevicas R<siesv re gently sent out inquiries to six clergy
 men. who represent different phases of protestant christianity, and published their answers in full The authors of these six contributions are Dr. Henry C. Potter, Dr. Howard Crosby. Dr. l. B. Thomas, Dr. ]. O. Peck. D.. C.. F. Krosel and Dr. T. W. Chambers. One of the most notable of the replies Is that of Dr. Peck. He begins boldly by saying - Creeds are human. fallible and unin- spired statements concerning the doc trines and truths of an inspired book. Y
 He says. also, the largest valve of creeds. except the apostles creed, Is in their his toric record of the progress of the human

conception of divine truth. Dr. Peck dis cusses the doctrines of the inspiration of the scriptures, the atonement and future punishment. As to the first of these, he says that - any man who accepts the bible as containing an authoritative and in- fallible revelation from God, may hold the verbal, plenary or any other theory of inspiration with perfect consistency The vagueness of the "any other theory ? is to be regretted As to the afonement, he says: :" The governmental theory of the atonement most largely prevails A few may be inoculated with the Bush- nellian or moral influence theory As to the future punishment, he says: A layman could be admitted into the mem bership of the Methodist Episcopal church, SO far as our articles of religion go or his subscriptions to creeds is re- quired. who did not believe in future punishment Drs- Krotel and Cham bers both testify substantially that there gre no changes in their respective ortho- doxies. But this appears to mean that the laity profess the same creeds as here tofore. not that they actually hold them free from doubt. All these distinguished divines speak rather of clerical view, and of the changes of ereeds which they officially recognize. No account is taken of the apathy which all the pulpits of to- day are lamenting. No account is taken of that vast change of creed which is im- piled by loss of interest, by religious mat ters. torpor of rhe christian thought. and dwindl:ng of congregations. the diff hculty ofarousing religious revival such as cou'd te stirred a quarter of a century ago. Properly considered, there is no evidence of change of creed so impressive as the fact that there IS a loss of interest in creeds of all kinds. The distinction between bab,fss. presbyterian and methodist grows more instinct. and episcopalianism covers the whole ground between methodism and catholicism.

HER PICTURE.
ELvlRA SYDNEY MILLER.

By the curve of a road fringed and skirted, Half embowered in the greenness of leaves, Stands the manor house, old and deserted, With moss creeping over the caves. The glow of the sunlight illumes il
 Al the dawning and death of the day; The lilies sweet breathing perfumes il
 As they nod meath the blue sky of May. Through the doorway. half-hidden by grasses, walk down the dim hall alone, And a wind of the south softly passes
 Where the steps of the dancers are flown, And gaze on the strange, pictured faces That smile out from old taruished frames. While the breeze seems to rutfe their laces And whisper their quaint English names. There is one face that looks out serenely From a background all sombre with shade, With the small head so graceful and queenly, As fl for coronet made. The pearls on her low bod ee glis;en
 And rose lies asleep in her hair As she leans out half sm,ing. 10 listen
 The songs of the larks lingering there. stand thus before her and wonder
 What her rank and her hist'ry may be, For surely some secret hides under
 The sf4ilc she bestoweth on me What name had this beautiful lady.
 Was il Dorothy, Ellicc or Jane Did she walk through the gircen so shady, Down the path which she s,rIys not again : Ac;hinss can see her advancing
 Through the maze of grand mlnuei, While the viois made music entranciug. Whose echoes seem lingering yet: Like the breath of the past's faded roses. Sine brings back the glad days of yore, -a- Like l rose. too. her beauty clscioses
 Ill sigh that her blooming is o'er. No longer she fits through the g!oaming Where the stars and the red sunset meet, And the white Of the lilies lies ioan,ing Like spray meath her small slippered feet, The rich siken robes that enshriued her As the petals fold over a rose. She hath left them. all empty behind ter Like a nest at the years silly close. Though I stand here forever before her, She gives not the answer seek Still my fancy bows down to adore her Where her soft golden locks kiss her cheek may gaze on this beautiful mystery, As poet looks ou, on the sea- But the laughter and tears of her history She will never disclose unto me.

OHSS ot tWitC uNy oHu thc iittc Nailcy Tn which he was born-he would have found him man after his own heart. The.old bookseller long since passed out from ,oil and care and down to the dark waters of the unknown sea but whenever return to the village it seems to me that can still see his tall, thin form pacing
 about among the alcoves ot his stall, now kep, by another. At times the vision is so real that would fain ask him the na- ture of his last nights reading brt then something shadowy and etherial about the figure holds me speeches. and the illusion passes slowly and silently away. Though have often found the book seller friend in the best sense of the word, still l have learned, as all book buyers must, that he has his weaknesses. Taken in the concrete he is one of the very best of fellows, but when we take him in the abstract we are often com pelled to think that we have erred sadly in our judgment and that in pursuing hi. calling he is more often actuated by a love of gain than desire to disseminate knowledge. The reason Tor this is that two many men become booksellers jus, as they would grocers, and sell their wares utterly regardless of their instrinsis worth. Now, to my way of thinking, tho two most important men in village an the school-masser and the bookseller
 the one points the way to and the otheI dispenses knowledge. A volume nigh
