He that shoots best may sometimes

Men are moral a1c&emists; it rests With
themselves to change their moments into

To find one who has passed through

Fried Potatoes.

Slice cold boiled potatoes very thin,
and season the slices we'll with salt and q
little pepper. For one quart of potato
slices put tablespoonful of butter into
a warm frying pan, and when the butter
begins to melt add the slices of potato.
Place over hot fire and stir with fork,
frequently tossing up the slices. When
hot, they will be light, dry and delicious.
Serve very hot. The slcing and season.
ing may be done the previous night.

Coffee.

There are many ways of making coffee,
saws Miss Maria Parloa in the fouth'S
CSmpanion, and most of them have good
points. To have coffee strong there
should be one teaspoonful of dry burnt
and ground coffee to every three pints OF
water. Should it be preferred weaker,
use half the quantity given of coffee with
the three pints of water.
Always use oue-t third of Mocha to two.
thirds of Java. When you are sure that
YOU can buy the pure article, burnt ana
ground, it is perhaps as well to purchase
i. at least burnt, because the burning IS
not always we'll done even at home.
The flavor of the prepared coffee is i'm
proycd if the dry coffee is heated very
hot before the water is added to it. Here
arc two simple methods for making good
coffee. .
Coffee No. 1-One teaspoonful of cof,
fec, on egg, three pints of boiling water,
one cupful of cold water. Break the
egg into the coifce-pot upon the dry
coffee, and mix then with spoon.
Then pour in the boiling water. Boil
five or ten minutes from the moment
when the boiling has begun in the coffee,
pot. Add the cup of cold water and sci
the pot back where the coffee Will keet
hot, but otboil, for ten minutes, or un'
til it is needed
Coffee No. 2-Make small tanne
bag, having string to draw the mouth
together. Put one or two teacups o.
ground coffee in the bag, and after placing
the BAG in the pot, pour boiling water upor
it. Then put the pot in saucepan of boil
ino water and boil half an hour; or have
the not made to fit into the tea-kettle
When you do not have cream, use boilee
milk instead of cold, for it is mucl
richer, and has the additional merit o
not making the coffee cold before yo'
begin to drink it.

Astounding F'1gures.

A Western paper gives the following, as
tounding figures: "It is said that the labor
ing men of the United States pay $500, O,OGo,-
OO0 a year for liquor and that the entire
banking capital of the country is SGT, 1,OHO,-
900. It follows that if the laCoring men
would stop drinking Intoxicating liquors Tor
one year and save the money which they an
nually pay for this, they would accumuiate
in the country, with Ss3, ,6OO, 900 over to start
a fund to buy up all the gold and silver
mines in the country next year. 1t is easy
to see how liquor men become so wealthy,
and Door men make them so.
