How to Sew on Buttons.
ELLA G.

Nothing is more vexatious Ito either
sex) than to have buttons continually
coming off, and the following hints from
the Youths Companion regarding the
best way to sew them on are well worth
passing along:
''When | get a bright idea I always
want to pass it along" said a lady, as
she sat watching a young girl sewing.
DO your buttons ever come off, Lena ?"
'FEver? They are always doing it. They
are ironed off, washed off, and pulled off,
until despair. / seem to shed buttons
at every STEP"
Make use of these two hints when you
are sewing them on, then, and see if they
make any difference: When you Begin
before you lay the button on the cloth,
put the thread through so that the knot
will be on the right side. That leaves it
under the button, and prevents it from
being worn or ironed away, and thus be-
ginning the loosening process.
'Then, before you begin sewing, lay q
large pin across the button so that all
your threads will go over the pin. After
you have finished filing the holes draw
out the pin, and wind your thread round
and round beneath the button. That
makes a compact stem to sustain the
possible pulling and wear of the button
hole.
''Tt is no exaggeration to say that my
buttons never come off, and I'm sure
yours won't, if you use my method of
sewing"

Have the crust already baked on a deep
pie plate. You can bake it the day before
you use it if you choose. Fill the crust
with the mixture and pour over top the
beaten white of the egg, sweetened a lit
tie. Place it in the oven a few minutes for
a delicate brown. If | want my pie lit
tie extra use two, or even three eggs,
but one egg will do for us plain folks.

A Help for the Kitchen Maid.

We have made the discovery lately,
which it seems now we ought to have
made sooner, that the top of the av-
erage kitchen stove is too little elevated
above the floor, and that there is in con-
sequence a good deal of backache and
other discomfort inflicted upon the cook
because SO much of her work has to be
done in a STOPPING posture. Rather we
should say. perhaps, that we have discov-
cred a remedy for the trouble which we
have borne for SO many years, and which
we hasten to make known to Others in the
hope of lessening their troubles. Our
remedy is simply lifting the stove upon

Cinnamon Rolls for Luncheon.

Ella G. writes the following from Ma
rion county:
Editor Household Department.:
] am glad to be able now and then to
send a contribution to your valuable De-
partment of the AGRICULTURIsT. This
one for cinnamon rolls is easily made:
When you are making bread reserve
one pint Of very light bread sponge; beat
three eggs, add one cup of sugar, a trife
Of shortning. Mix and let rise very light
.as for bread. Then roll out thin with
rolling pin; spread with butter, sugar and
cinnamon. Roll up as for Jelly roll. Cut
in slices, put in well-buttered pan and
bake in moderate oven.
This same recipe will answer nicely for
bread dough cakes, with the addition of
more shortening, raisins and currents,
spices and vanilla. Bake in a loaf.
LEMON PIE.
There are many recipes for lemon pie
given, but am sure you will like mine.
1t is the best and most economical one /
ever made CRATE the yellow rind of one
lemon and squeeze out the juice, removing
all the seeds. Add one cupful of sugar
and the yolk of one egg, well beaten to-
gether; pour upon this one cupful and
half of boiling water into which has been
smoothly stirred two tablespoonful of
-four (corn starch is better, but -four will
do,) cook until it is like rich clear jelly.

Centennial Notes.

One would certainly think that for the
great supper of the late Centennial Ball
the viands used on that national occa-
sion would have been in all propriety
purely American. We are inclined to
think that our national dignity was con-
siderably set aside When we learn on
the contrary that the bill of fare con-
tanned more than fifty dishes and all
Frenchy at that. What nonsense? Why
couldn't they at least have had one table
set in the old fashioned way, with chicken
pies, baked pork and beans, roast turkey
and all the old fashioned good things
with which Washington regaled his appe-
tite when he ate his Inauguration dinner
one hundred years ago?
Instead of that, Harrison was obliged
to choke down all sorts of purees, ''pot-
au-fen, maitrie de something, squash and
salmon au-gratein, and SO on. Even his
plain beef tenderloin, must be fillets au
bonef? What would his dear old grand
mother have said?
SPEAKING of the Centennial supper and
the various French dishes on the bill of
fare suggests the idea of advanced
thought regarding modern cookery.
1t has been said that these modern con-
cOctOrs make up recipes as musicians
write music They set down and think OF
all the things that can be used as condi-
ments and bases of dishes, and they just
make the whole business up and never
try them, not even on a dog. Take a
pound of -four and bucket of water and
cupful of yeast and half pound of su-
gar and little lemon. Add a tablespoon
fdl of Worcestershire sauce; mix well and
stir for fifteen minutes Then add glass
ofporter and teaspoonful of ice cream
and heat over slow fire, and you will
have something nobody knows what
but the chances are that it will be just as
good as much that is found in cookery
books. OF course they will give it a
French name!

Of great benefit to their organization.
None Of the delegations can be induced
to talk Of the probable methods to be

several delegates they DO no feel kindly
toward the Burlington road and the man

convene here today. Authority is vested
in this committee to settle the present

New HAVEN, Conn, Dee. 26.-Mrs.
Henry Nipple, a widow So years old, was
burned to death in her home on Grand
avenue yesterday afternoon. About !
o'clock Grocer Stein, who occupies the
store under the old lady's apartments,
smelled smoke. Rushing up stairs he
found Mrs. Nipple living on her bed amid
a mass of flames. Hastily wrapping her
up in the clothing, he attempted TO
smother the flames, and finally carried
her out into the street, where She was
laid on the frozen ground and water
thrown upon her before a crowd Of 500
people. Samuel Rothchild and others
stripped the smoldering garments from
her person. An old blanket was thrown
over her to hide her from the curious gaze
of a gaping crowd. Soon che became un-
conscious, and died at the hospital at 3
o o'clock. The flesh was burned TO a crisp
on her limbs and back. While cooking
dinner her clothing took fire. She jumped
into bed TO smother the flames. This in
turn took fire, and she was roasted alive.

CHICAGO, Dec. o. -Richard Berry saw
a bottle OF red liquid standing on Of the
shelves of the cupboard in his house, 1906
McHenry street early this morning. He
thought the bottle contained wine and
drank all the liquid it contained. The
stuff left a disagreeable taste in his mouth.
He became alarmed and asked his wife
what kind of wine he had been drinking.
The woman screamed and sent friends for
a doctor. Then she told her husband
that he had been drinking embalming
fluid that had been left over after fixing
his cousin Charles body. The under
taker had left the bottle on the shelf.
Berry groaned and went 70 bed, He be
came feverish and his pain made hlm de,
lirous. A doctor came with a stomach
pump ana emetiCs but he could not re
lieye the suffering man who rolled and
screamed upon the bed. After lingering
in agony nearly five hours Berry ceased
10 breathe. The doctor said the mans
stomach had been burned ort by the
fluid.

condition that he should be ipoculated
with leprosy by way of experiment. The
incubation took place three years ago,

fold, is now a tubercular leper. The ex-
pertinent was perhaps hardly necessary.
The fact that Father Damien has become
a leper since he went to reside in a settle

the disease is contagious. Now, however,
there is no longer room for any doubt
which may have been felt upon the mat

Another Nebraska Bank Failure,

National bank this morning announced

agent. Drafts made by the bank on
Omaha and Kansas City were protested
Saturday and unpaid. The bank affairs
are in bad shape, caused principally, il is

A Providence paper tells a yarn which
will be credited at least by all the psych-
ical societies. A lady of that city, who
is a strong Democrat, consulted the Bible
the night before election for a divina-
ton on the result. Closing her eyes she
opened the book and placed her finger at
random on the page. 1t fell upon the
passage: Benjamin shall raven as q
wolf; in the morning he will devour the
prey, and at night he shall divide the
spoils." Whatever hopes she had of
Cleveland's success were dispelled by
this proFhetic text. Benjamin devOured
the prey, and although he did not divide
the spoils at night he is snow actively at it.

A petroleum engine is . being ex'
hibited in England, and is attracting a
great deal of attention. The petroleum
is placed in a tank to the bed of the en-
CINE and is forced through a pipe into an
apartment where a blast of air turns il
into a fine spray. A small battery in the
rear supplies an electric spark, and the
spray coming in contact with this cleo.
trio spark furnishes the motive power.
The engine works with admirable regu-
larity. The piston needs no oiling, the
petroleum vapor filing this necessity.
