of sugar and one teaspoonful of saleratus,
and one OF salt. Stir all together. Then

in deep tin in q moderate oven for hall
an hour, or till done.
COOP PLAIN CAKE.-One egg. one cup
sugar, butter size of hens egg, one cup
sweet milk, two cups -four. and two tea
spoons baking powder. Beat the yolk OF
the egg. sugar and butter until it creams ;
stir 10 the milk, slit the -four and baking
powder together, stir in your batter, then
add the white of the egg beaten stiff; stir
all we'll, turn into buttered tins and bake
thirty minutes in hot oven.
NOURIsHING DISH for children or others
affected with diseases of the bowels
Take one-half pint thick sweet cream. set
on the stove to boil. Put into a saucer
two tablespoonful sweet cream into which
stir thoroughly one teaspoon flour.
When the cream on the stove is boiling.
add the cream in which you have stirred
the flour, and let # come to a boil. Set
off. Salt and pepper little if preferred
GINGER SNAPs.-One cup sugar, ore
cup molasses. one cup butter, one table
spoon ginger, one teaspoon soda dissolved
in little water, and as much flour as can
be stirred in. Pinch off pieces as large
az a good sized marble. roll in the hands,

ing room for them to spread. Bake in a
moderate oven and watch closely. as they

will Keep any length Of time, if locked up.
POAcHED EGGS AND TOAST FOR AN In
vALID.--Io poach an egg delicately and
in the most digestible manner use a low
saucepan, putting into it two or three
inches of water, sailed. Break the egg
into cup, just before the water reaches
the boiling point, slip the egg from the
the cup carefully into it, draw the sauce
pan to the side of the range, where it can
not even simmer. and allow it to stand
until the white becomes a soft, transpar-
ent, jelly-like substance. evenly cooked
through. This will require about ten
minutes. The result will be tender and
delicate, and easily digested. The per-
lection of egg poaching is to keep the egg
in water at the temperature of 1909 for
half an hour, says W. Matthew Williams,
in The Chemistry of Cooking" When
the egg is done take it out with perfo-
rated ladle, and slip it carefully on to
thin slice of delcately Drowned toast. If
moist toast is preferred pour some hot
water into dish and, holding the toast on
edge, run the crust only around quickly
in the water. The egg will moisten the
center sufficiently. Each egg required
should be cooked separately. They must
be served and eaten at once

Head Work.

A half Indian was looking on at
some workmen in the employ of Governor
Dudley, of Massachusetts.
"Why don't you work and get yourself
some clothes?" asked the governor.
"Why don't you work?" reterted the son
of the forest.
81 work head work. said Dudley, point
ing to his head.
The Indian said he was willing to work,
and agreed to kill calf for the governor.
Having done so, he came for his pay.
But" said the governor, ''you have not
dressed the calf
No." said the Indian; 81 was to have a
shilling for killing him. Am he no Dead
GOVERNOR"
Finding himself outwitted. the governor
gave him another shilling for dressing it. 1t
was not long before the Indian came back,
demanding good shilling in the place of
the bad one which he declared the governor
had paid him. The governor paid him
another.
Returning second time with still another
brass piece to be exchanged, the governor.
convinced of his knavery, offered him half a
crown if he would deliver letter for him
The letter was directed to the keeper of the
prison, and ordered him to give the bearer a
certain number of lashes.
The Indian, suspecting that all was not
right, and meeting a servant of the governor,
induced him to take the letter to its address.
The result Of the Indians stratagem was
that severe whipping was administered to
the unfortunate servant. The gov.
ernor was greatly chagrined at being second
time outwitted by the Indian.
On falling in with him some time after, he
accosted him with some severity, asking him
how he had dared to cheat and deceive him
% many times.
"Head work. governor, head WORK." VA

esque style Of writing, which shows that
he has missed his svocation If he il not an
ink-slinger on some Connecticut paper
that dares 70 call spade spade. He
has lately been the victim Of neuralgia at
his home, 50 Grand street, and describes
the disease and his cure in this lively
fashion:
After suffering all the terrors of an
imaginary orthodox hell for two weeks
with indammatory rheumatism and daily
growing worse, was induced to try Ath-
loPhoros. The effect was like magic. 1
was relieved Immediately and would like
to say to all who are suffering with the
dread disease, Don't wait; try Athlo-
phoros."
Those who have suffered from infiam-
matory rheumatism will appreciate the
force Of Mr.. Moriey's remarks, and will
also agree with the estimate which Mr..
George L. Pease, another citizen of w ater-
bury, puts upon the value of Athlophoros:
II would have Athlophoros," he says,
"ifI had TO pay ten dollars dose for it,
After fourteen years Of intense suffering
it has done for me what our best physi-
sicians could not do. During that time
took every known medicine for neuralgia of
the stomach, but found no relief at all I'M
til took Athlophoros. The effect was
wonderful. All pain disappeared and my
general health was so much improved as
to cause general comment. Icannot speak
too highly of the merits of Athlophoros,
and cheerfully recommend it to all who
may be troubled with rheumatism or neu-
ralgia."
From Pigeon Cove, Mass, susannah
Brown sends these words Of good cheer to
those afflicted with neuralgia:
~ had been troubled with neuralgia in
my head for four or five years, day and
night. Seeing an advertisement of Ath-
lophoros in Gloucester paper, thought
l would try it and so sent year ago for
some. i have taken eight bottles and
since last March / have had no neuralgia
at all. My head, think, is entirely well.
l consider Athlophoros a great remedy
for neuralgia and shall recommend it to
any one troubled with it,"
Mrs. Sarah J. Cross, of Monroe, NH,
says of her experience:
"Athlophoros has done wonderful cures
for myself and all those who have used
any that let them have. As for myself
the rheumatism is thing of the past to
me, and feel like new person."
"When / first tried Athlophoros," says
Mrs. Mary T. Hart, of Pennington, Ct,
Il was SO afflicted with rheumatism in
my knees that they were badly swollen,
and suffered great deal of pain. Three
doses began to have an effect, and when
had used two bottles the pain left and the
swelling and stiffness disappeared and
have never returned About a year later
my shoulder troubled me- One bottle of
Athlophoros cured that and | have not
had rheumatism since. | recommended
its use to one or two neighbors, who tried
II and were relieved"
Ifyou cannot get ATHLoPHoros Of your drur
gisi we will sent it express paid. on receipt Of
regular price-one dollar per bottle We prefer
that You buy it from your druggist but If he
hasnt it. DO not be persuaded to try something
else, ont order at once from u.s. as directed.
