z Chinese Notion.

\ Chinaman dislikeS to say that
his friend is dead, but will tell you
that: His name has been added to
the muster roll of ghosts, y" or that "he
has become one Of the ancients," ''he
has returned to the shades" ''he has
taken farewell OF the world" ''he has
gone on long Journey" are express
sions all very frequently used when
speaking of the dead. The matter is
not always treated with reverence,
however, for they will sometimes say:
He has swallowed his BREATH or
"slipped his skin" The mountain
has collapsed refers to dead Emper-
or, and the dream is over means that
a Prince is dead.

The housekeeper's department IN
many of the magazines and papers Is
full OF recipes for the preparation OF
French dishes, and it is a popular bellel
generally that the French are the only
good cooks. There arc some thing about
their cookery that we must admire, that
is their ecOnomy-no scraps going to
loss-also their delicacy OF preparation;
vet we must admit that no cook can sur
pass the trained American cook. II we
are inexperienced in the preparation OF
dishes from scraps left from one days
diuner-too much to throw away and
still not enough for an attractive dish
we certainly have IN eager desire Tor
knowledge in this direction. We will
give few recipes for some OF these
dishes.
Very delicious little croquettes can be
made OF either fish, flesh or fowl; yes,
even cold vegetables, rice and bread. 10
make chicken Croquettes, chop any old
chicken fine, season with salt and Il little
pepper. TO one and half teacupinis
Of the chopped meat add one egg, we'll
beaten, and tablespoonful OF cream or
milk. Mix well together, make into
little cakes, about half an inch thick, DIP
them into rolled cracker, and fry deli
cate brown. Butter and nice pork drip
pings mixed should be used, il one does
not wish to use much butter to Try them
in. Cold beef, lamb or veal is nice made
in the same manner.
Croquettcs Of cold boiled rice are made
as follows: To each cupful ofrice add an
egg well beaten, season with pepper and
salt, and il YOU have it add little cold
meat chopped fine. Make it into cakes,
dip into cracker crumbs and fry. Cold
boiled potatoes chopped very fine and
made in this manner make an excellent
dish.
CroQuettes of cold bread are very nice
and is an excellent way Of disposing Of
the dry bread which will accumulate i'll
most families. Chop the bread very
fine, removing all the dry, hard crusts,
pour over it n little hot water, just
enough to soften, and chop and stir
with knife until well mixed. 10 a pint
allow heaping teaspooniul of butter,
one egg well beaten, salt, pepper and
siited sage to season well. Make up into
little cakes and fry u light brown. Care
must be taken that the bread is not made
too soft, the water being added a very
little at time and the mixture made
stiff enough to-make into the cakes cas-
lily. Serve hot.
The seasoning OF croquettes may be
varied in many ways. Celery, parsley,
sage, a slice or two OF onion or u bit Of
spice il one likes. OF course but one
should be used at q time.

The modes OF deaths approach arc
various, and statistics show C0nClusivcly
that more persons die from diseases Of
the Throat and Lungs than any other.
1t is probable that everyone, without eX'
ception, receives vast numbers OF Tu-
bercle Germs into the system and where
these germs fall upon suitable soil they
start into life and develop, ut first slowly

ton in the throat and ii allowed to con-
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing Consumption and to
the head, causing Catarrh. Now all this
is dangerous and ii allowed to proceed

The fair season is once more here, and
we trust that all readers that breed
thoroughbred poultry will exhibit,
especially when the judging will be done
by the Standard. In this way you will
find out whether your birds are what
they ought to be or not. The judge will
tell you in all probability whether or not
it is any use in you going to a tirst-class
poultry show expecting to win. More
than that, it is great advantage to you
TO show ut the fair, us the expenses nre
not nearly SO great and you can show to
the people the kind OF stock you breed
without paying double lirst-class express
bills Tor hundreds OF miles to let the peo-
pie know you are a poultry breeder OF
course you will not understand me to say
that n country fair record is worth MS
much to you as a record would be won
in Il large poultry show, but Il premium
won at fair carries with it a certain
value, let it be what it will. 1t will do
YOU no harm and may do you much
good. Go and win it. Win all you can.
Keep up the interest. ShowtO the world
that thoroughbred poultry is by far
superior to the dung hill in every
particular.
Right here we wish TO touch on an
other point, and that is the judging.
We know by experience there are many
drawbacks in showing at the fairs, but
we consider this the worst OF all. Where
the old committee business is still prac-
ticed. satisfaction among the exhibitors
is an entire stranger. We have seen
committees pass judgment that didn't
know one breed from another, and the
only way they could tell was to look
on the, entry tag. This is all wrong.
But they are cheap judges and do VERY
cheap Job, which. ! am only too sorry to
say, suits great many fair managers.
But we sometimes think the managers
are not wholly to blame, as the expert
Judge system is something new to them.
They can't see wherein it will pay them
to employ man to pass Judgment on Il
few chickens when they have always
been getting it done for nothing. We
would advise the readers OF the SiOcL-
man that have found this difficulty to go
to some one OF the managers and show
them wherein it would be to their adj
vantage to employ some one; that by so
doing they will in Ull probability save
much more than the judge would cost
them. We know OF one fair last season
that saved over $50 over and above the
expenses OF the Judge. The old way nj
most every specimen wins premium,
no disqualilicOtionS as where the new

With other childhood relies, out
