How to Use Stale Bread.

Slices of bread, no matter how stale,
make good toast, if held for an instant
over glowing Goals. Pile them neatly
on plate and send to the table hot; or
dip each slice quickly in dish of boil
ing water to which has been added u
large lump of butter and a little salt
This is called water toast, and should
be served in heated, covered dish. If
milk toast is preferred, pile these dipped
slices in deep dish; boil pint of
milk, stir in teaspoonfnl of corn
starch moistened with cold milk or
water, large lump of butter and lit
tie salt. Stir all together until it be-
gins 10 thicken, then pour over the
toast.
Slices of stale bread are delicious
spread with butter and Drowned in a
quick oven, with thin slice OF cheese
laid on each, and put back in the oven
long enough to melt the cheese. They
are nice also dipped in batter made
OF one egg, one cup of milk, one cup of
flour and one-half teaspoonful of salt !;
fried in hot butter or dripping until a
light brown, and used as a breakfast or
tea dish, or eaten with molasses or sugar
as dessert
Slices of toast are appetizing with
poached eggs on top, or a spoonful Of
hash, minced fish, Welsh rare bit, as
paragds, etc. Or they may be cut in
small squares and added to the soup as
it goes TO table.
Croutons, used with strained soups,
are small squares of stale bread fried
brown.
Slices of bread spread with butter may
be laid on top of a good custard and
baked in the usual manner. Or they
may be laid in dish alternately with
stewed or preserved fruit, a custard
poured over them, and baked.
Bits and broken pieces of bread should
be spread Oh pie plate or baking pan,
and Drowned slowly in an oven, with the
door open; rolled (while still hot on a
bread board, and put away in tin boxes
or air tight jars. They will be found
far nicer than cracker crumbs for dip
ding oysters, chops, outlets, small fish
or anything else which is fried in egg
and cracker.
They are also delicious stirred in
Drowned butter, and sprinkled over the
top of meat dLmplings; or used for
potatoes au gratin, tomato farci, etc.
They also make delicate and delicious
puddings. s.-HouSeoDe.

A Talented aud GarruIou, Crow.

Five and forty years ago Mr.. Adams,
of Georgetown, Ky, had crow that
was next to Henry Clay in the affections
Of ITS people. Though wholly self
taught, it could talk well enough to
outswear the army in Flanders, answered
to the name of Pete, went to every race
meeting thereabout and shouted "Go,"
so naturally that the jockeys often took
a false start In addition, he delighted
equally in musters and hog killings,
would hover over the soldiers or the
porkers in equally e'tish glee, and if
anybody displeased il would scream out.
Pete was also a terrible thief and an
inveterate drunkard yet, withal, such a
merry sprite, that when he was shot by
accident he was given the largest funeral
ever seen in Georgetown. He was buried
in a small, handsome coffin with tolling
bells and minute guns--and all the chill
dren, far apd near, wore mourning for
many days. - loplnlfrcial AdgsrtissS

IN THE WINDOW SEAT.

One evening in an autumn old
We in the cushioned window seat
Sat side by side in converse sweet.
As that old tale our young lips told
We watched the shadows sway and greet
Upon the walls. The burning logs
Lay cracking on the big brass dogs
Far back within the window seat,
Half hidden by the curtains fold,
You sat and swung your dainty feet
Our brown eyes tenderly did meet
AS low we talked, the story told,
That evening in an autumn old.
Things did not chance as they were told
Within the cushioned window seat
That autumn time Our story sweet
Is like some vague romance of old.
Here in the after years we meet,
When shadows oft from burning logs
Have lain athwart the great brass dogs,
And chung about the window seat
Half hidden by the curtains fold.
The paths we trod have led our feet
Apart till now and years full fleet
Have drifted by. Since we are old
We smile at that old tale we told.
But hist Within the window seat,
Half hidden by the curtains fold,
Your daughter swings her dainty feet;
And, madam, hear my boy repeat,
With eqger lips, story told
One evening in an autumn old.

The Pulse of DomestIcatod Animals.

The pulse in all animals varies some
what even when in full health and at
rest. A full stomach may increase the
number of beats and so will high tenn
perature, but, as a rule, we must say that
the pulse OF a healthy horse when at rest
should range between thirty-six and
rty-six-about forty beats may be con-
sidered normal. In the OK and COW
about forty to forty five, but after a full
meal it may increase ten beats or even
more without indicating disease. In
sheep, goats, and PIGS the pulse is from
severity 10 eighty beats, and in the dog
eighty to one hundred The pulse may
be felt wherever large artery crosses a
bone, and in the horse it IS generally eX-
amined on the cord which crosses over
the bone of the lower aw in front Of its
curved position, or on the bone ridge
over the eye A rapid, hard, and full
pulse is an indication Of high fever OF
Inflammation. An irregular pulse indi
Gates heart disease. -Nw Hork Sua.

soup kettle with two quarts of cold water
and some salt to three pounds of head,
and set it on good fire. At the end of
half an hour, the scum will haze risen to

boil. Set the kettle back: add a gill of
cold water aud take off all the scum.

nip, one onion, with two cloves, one leek,
one stalk of celery, one of parsley, one
bay leaf and two cloves of garlic. Sim
mer until the head is cooked, but is not
too soft; strain the broth and set the
calf's head aside to cool When cool cut
four ounces of the skin into dice. Put
two ounces of butter into saucepan and
set it on the fire. When melted add one
tablespoonful of flour, stir, and, when
turning brown, add three pints of broth
and boil for five minutes; add the -four
ounces of calf's head dice, four ounces
of tru-lles or mushrooms cut into dice,
or two ounces of each, and boil five
minutes. While boiling cut two hard
boiled eggs and half lemon into dice
and put them in the soup tureen, pour
the boiling broth over them and serve.

Home-Made Lamp Shades.

Lamp shades are made now in all sorts
of designs and variety of colors. Some
of the prettkst are home made. They
are made of a plainly c9lored shade, those
of dark back ground being the better.
On this ar. pasted figures cut from vari-
Gus engravings. Human figures have the
Bess-etfect. Met, women, horses, dogs,
or anything in various positions neatly
cut out, look very pretty when shown up
with a light underneath them. They
remind one very much aithe old shadow

curely pasted on the shade the figures may
be colored or not, according to the taste
of the designer, but they must be covered
with shellac or some fine varnish. An
old lamp stand that has grown shabby
may be made to look very pretty, and
old work boxes, or screens, on which
larger figures can be used, will look ar

THE SURPRISE

Joy met Sorrow in place
Where the branches interlace.
Very secret, still and sweet,
Safe from all profaning feet.
'Why art herep Joy, startled, cried;
"Why art here" gray Sorrow sighed.
81 came here to weep, said Joy.
"1ears are ever my employ
Murmured Sorrow. ''Yet see
Tears as grateful were to thee.
Come, young novice, and be taught
How to ease thy heart o'erfraught."
Joy sat down at Sorrows feet.
And was taught a lesson sweet.
Fain would he make kind return;
'Sorrow, art too old to Learnt
Nay! Then tarry yet while,
Till I've taught thee how to smilem
Since that hour the two have Teen
Bound as by mysterious kin;
Since that hour they so exchange
Tears and smiles, 'tis nothing strange

Most pcoplo regard it as n healthy
