Scrofula is probably more general than any
other disease. It is insidiOus i'll character,
and manifests itself in running sores, pustular

FARM LABoRERs.

Why They Should BE Provided with
Homes by Their Employers.
Every good farmer furnishes some
sort of shelter for his domestic animals,
but there are very few who think of
furnishing house or houses for farm
help to live in. The dependence lie
mainly on hiring single men, for six OF
eight months in the year, who are
turned adrift at the expiration of Their
time to find whatever they may to do,
or to remain in idleness the balance OF
the year. If there is any married help
in the neighborhood, his family is slowed
away in some old rickety, tumble-down
building that nobody else will live in,
and his family would not live in except
by compulsion, because nothing better
is to be had. This is not right. II .
farmer is able to hire help, to any con-
siderable extent, he is able to furnish
the family or families of such help
comfortable houses to live in, attractive
homes which will attach them to the
farm, and make him reliable help at
all seasons of the year. With such
places for them to live in. much bet.
ter class of help can be secured than
can be picked up by chance. and than
is likely to drift out into the country
and occupy the forsaken old rookeries
for an abode. A little garden patch
in addition will cost but little. and
the pasturing of cow for tho
family would not be seriously felt. By
looking around and selecting an intelli-
gent, tidy and Industrious family, with
perhaps both boys and girls coming
up, help on the farm and help in the
house, that is efficient and can be de-
pended on, can be secured regularly
and for all emergencies. If the farmer
shows an interest in the welfare Of the
family, and has made good selection,
he will have in its members neighbors
and friends who, when in his employ,
will understand his way Of working,
and will look after his interests with
something like a personal solicitude. =

Natures processes OF cure are secret.
Il is in their depths that wounds begin
to heal. Gradually as months went by
the renovating principle worked in
Milly. She resumed her place at home,
the little duties and pleasures, and
took up again the burdens of life. She

sweet serenity which was no less
lovely than her girlish bloom. ''Milly
Graves was real improved since her
disappointment" certain severe old
aides asserted, and they were not far
from right. Stephen adored her more
than ever. Two years later he told her
so. To his surprise, she was neither
astonished or shocked, but looked in
his eyes with smile which was sad
and tender and sweet all at once.
"Dear Stephen" she said, ''this is
just like you. Do you recollect the day
in Love lane, and the rose you picked
up out of the dustp You are doing the
same thing now, but 1 am not worth
it, dear, not worth the picking up"
'.Milly." said Stephen, trembling
with eagerness, ''there never was day
since / first saw you, and that was
twenty-one years ago, when l didn't
love you beyond any other living thing.
Pick you up, indeed! You. my rose Of
all the world! l am not fit to touch
your stem, my darling, or handle one
of your leaves, but l love you, dearest,
with the whole of my heart. Can you
not love me a little bit in return?"
20, Stephen, do!' and the fair little
fingers closed over his. There's no.
body in the world like you. l always
knew that. It's only-the others are
so much fresher, you know-fresher
and brighter, and-they might make
you happier than can. You're quite
sure? You really want me-? Then I'll

Prof. Tuck's Submarine Torpedo-Boat
Trial Trip of the Strange Craft.

Prof. Tuck's Submarine Torpedo Boat
Trial Trip of the Strange Craft.
Persons walking along Riverside
drive at Eighty-sixth street the other
afternoon saw black object skim
ming along on the surface of the Hud-
son. Then they didn't see it for long
time. Then it would appear at a dis
lance. The object was a submarine
torpedo boat, the work of Prof. j. l..
Tuck, who showed it off to . few
friends. The boat is intended to APP
proach big naval vessel during war
times under water and. having left a
couple of torpedoes under her hull, to
withdraw to convenient distance and
fire them by means of an electric cur
rent from battery. The little craft
of iron and steel. weighing twenty
tons, is named the Peacemaker. She
is thirty feet over all, eight and
one-half feet breadth of beam and six
feet deep. Placed at each side of the
keel is enough lead to load the boat
to the waters edge. To sink the vessel
below the water there are compart-
ments which can be filed or empked
as required. Compressed air is held in
iron pipes, to be liberated as the air
grows foul. A common rudder steers
the craft, anda horizontal rudder, GEN.
trally hinged in frame at each side
of the stern, raises or sinks the boat
On top is little dome twelve inches
high and fourteen inches in diameter,
with glass windows for light.
When ship is to be blown up. as
the boat passes beneath her string of
insulated wire carrying two cartridges,
one at each end. is released. The cart
ridges are filled with a powerful ex-
plosive and are lightened with corks,
so that they will rise against the bottom
of the vessel. Then BY means of the
electric battery, after the boat has with
drawn, the explosion is effected. The
little craft Owed to depth Of forty feet
in the river, and then took subma-
rine trip up toward Yonkers, remain,
ing under water over seven minutes.
The trials were a success, and tn (
gentlemen interested in the boat well
pleased. Prof. Tuck said she had mad /,
twelve miles an hour, and that sho
could remain under water several hours.

sAvoRY DISHES.


Useful Suggestfons for Economical and
Careful Housekeepers.
Cold meat is often a concern to the
housekeeper. Meat is expensive and
no one likes to throw itaway, but what
to do with it is problem. In the first
place it must be kept cool during the
warm season. We will suppose there
is quantity Of cold roast lamb. Take
saucepan and put into it quart Of
water; in this lay all the bones after
cutting of the meat. Next, peel and
cut up two onions, put in salt and pep
per and half teaspoonful of celery
seeds. Then put the saucepan on the
Gre, and when it comes to boil let it
simmer. It will take about an hour and
q half to cook the onions and extract the
nutriment from the bones.
Meanwhile remove the fat and cut OF
chop fine the meat. About five min
utes before you wish to serve the stew,
put the meat in the saucepan. so that
1t can be well heated without being
long on the fire. At the same time
stir in carefully . tablespoonful of
sifted -four. previously blended in half
q tea-oup of cold water. Some chopped
parsley should be put in it If congcn-
lent. When celery or celery leaves
are in market use them instead of
celery seed. The seeds give the same
delicious flavor and nutritious proper
ties as the celery, and should be kept
in the pantry when the green celery il
not obtainable. A sliced carrot may
be put in with the onions and bones, as
carrots take a long time to soften.
Those who like the flavor Of turnip
and tomatoes may add these vegeta-
bles. Most persons prefer bread with
this stew, but some like potatoes.
A second dish which goes well with
this is q piece Of boiled bacon with
cabbage. Any cold fresh meat may
be served up in this way. Even cold
roast pork makes delicious ragout and
veal-mince is very delicate, Is veal is
90 young and sweet. When veal is
roasted thick jelly sinks to the bottom
of the vesselin which the suet is poured.
This jelly should be taken of the suet
and put into the mince. OF course tho
fiavoring may be varied to taste Some
like sage or sllspice- Then instead of
-four to thicken the ragout, barley,
rice or .coFnstarch may be used. In tact
endless varieties may, be made accord
ing to materials and taste. 1t can be
converted into an Irish stew by boiling
potatoes in it. Peas thicken the
soup and add to the flavor. II
there Is very small quantity Of meat.
use pint Of water or less and small
saucepan. Proportion other mgredi-
.ents to correspond. A meat pie is de.
licious Il properly made. II you like
an undercrust. be sure TO bake it before
you put in the stew. Then you are
certain the underpaste Is cooked. II
you mako pie, put the chopped meat
on this cooked paste, pour on the soup
or gravy. emitting the bones. ofcourse.
put cup in the center to hold mp the
upper crust. then put on the aforesaid
upper crust and bake. If you have Z
light paste you will have a delicious

The Church Army is an evangel-
