To Make Cottage Cheese.

Cottage cheese is best when made as
soon as the milk is thick and firm, be-
fore it becomes disagreeably acid. Heat
the milk by placing the pan over boiling
water, or by pouring boiling water slowly
into the milk stirring constantly in both
cases. Heating to ninety-fiye degrees
Fahrenheit, or, if you have no ther-
mometer, about as warm as new milk,
will coagulate the a.bumen sufficiently
to separate it from the whey. Pour in II
cloth to drain. To each pint of the
drained curd, add butter onc-half the
size of an egg, and one half pint Of
sweet cream; then add salt or not as
suits your taste. Place in molds or bowls,
which should be previously dipped in
cold water, and, when wante I, turn out
md serve. Made in this way, it is as
much superior to that which has been
heated till the albumen is tough, as n
hicely boiled egg is to a hard boiled
one. The principle is the same with
Doth these articles of food. Too great
beat renders the albumen tough, in
soluble, unpleasant to the taste and
difficult of digestion. --Prairis Farmer.

Laughter Once a MIsdemeanor.

Because a man is the only animal that
can laugh we would naturally conclude
that he has always laughed, but su h is
not the case At least laughter as our
expression of merriment or pleasure, has
only been in vogue for "a short time as
compared with the age of the race. The
Puritans and Quakers who came to this
country q couple Of hundred years ago,
held it TO be a mi,demeauor TO laugh
boisterously or heartily, and even TO this
day their descendants legard. laughing as

JAR OF ROSE LEAVES.


Myriad roses fade unheeded, -a
Yet no note of grief is needed,
When the ruder breezes tear them, :.
Sung or songless, we can spare them,
But the choicest petals are
Shrined in some deep orient jar,
Rich without and sweet within,
Where we cast the rose leaves in
Life has jars of costlier price
Framed to hold our memories.
There we treasure baby smiles,
Boyish exploits, girlish wiles,
All that made our childish days
Sweeter than these trodden ways
Where the fates our fortunes spin,
Memory, toss the rose leaves inl
What the jar holds, that shall stay;
Time steals all the rest away.
Cast in loves first stolen word;
Bliss when uttered, bliss when heard;
Maiden's looks of shy surprise;
Chances from a hero's eyes;
Palms we risked our souls to win;
Memory, fling the rose leaves in!
Now more sombre and more slow
Let the incarnation growl
Cast in shreds of rupture brief,
Subtle links 'twixt hope and grief;
Vagrant fancy's dangerous toys;
Covert dreams, narcotic joys
Favored with the taste of sin;
Memory, pour the rose leaves inl
Quit that borderland of pain!
Cast in thoughts of nobler vein,
Magic gifts of human breath,
Mysteries of birth and death,
What if all this web Of change
But prepare for scenes more strange;
II to die be to begini
Memory, heap the rose leaves in

Good Bread a Family Necessity.

The health and happiness of family
depend, to a certain extent, on good,
well baked bread. At all events, our
enjoyment would be greater if bread
were only better prepared The best
bread is made from mixture of flour
such as is generally sold in our markets
water, salt aud yeast; nothing else.
To make good yeast, take as many dry
hops as you can grasp in your hand, boil
in two quarts of water for twenty min
utes; peel and crate four good ed
raw potatoes; strain the hop water
while boiling hot over the potatoes,
stirring until well cooked or the mix
ture thickens like starch; add one half
cup of sugar, one fourth cup Of salt, and,
when cool, one cup of good yeast. Stir
in one quart and half of Indian meal
set to rise about six or seven hours is
sufiicient) in a warm p ace, and when
light mix in more meal, press into cakes,
put in the sun to dry. Dry as quickly
as possible. When perfectly dry put up
in air-tight pals. This yeast is much
more handy and quite as reliable rs tho
liquid yeast
To make the bread take three quarts
Vi HouT' lehSpooHlul ol s"lI anu ouo Cu L
of yeast dissolved in quart of water
mix into dough. Knead this until it is
perfectly smooth. Set in a warm place
to rise at night. In the morning divide
into loaves and put into the pans; let
it rise light, about an hour. Bake one
hour in a steady oven. To tell when
bread is perfectly baked break off one
loaf after 1t has been baking one hour
and press with the finger; if it springs
back quickly it is done; if it retains
the impression like putty it is not. To
keep bread from running o er, pin a
narrow strip of brown paper round the
pan, letting it come an inch above the
edge. The bread should be cool when
put in the bread box, otherwise it will
mould. -Neo York. World.

Reorganize the Central Fair.

There is movement on foot looking
towards the reorganization of the Central
Fair society. 1t is proposed to dispose OF
the present grounds of the society, and
purchase piece of land nearer the bust
ness centre than the present location.
But before any steps are taken an effort
will be made to increase the number of
stock holders. More must become interest
ed in the fair to insure its future success.
Every merchant and business man in the
city should be willing to take stock, for
if 1t does not benefit them, who is benefit
ed The farmers, also, of this vicinity
should be willing to take stock in aid of
the purchase of new grounds and build
iDgs.
1t is very evident from the patronage
the Central fair received this year, and
for that matter for several previous years,
that some actien must be taken to keep
it's affairs above water. We hope this
project will meet with encouragement
and the Central Fair enterprise placed on
a safe and permanent foundation.
