BREAKFAST CAKES.
Aunt Chloe Tells Her Sisters How to Pre-
pare Four Toothsome Varieties.

auub SniOe lflis htF SlstcTb HOW 10 HTe-
pare Four Toothsome Varieties.
Potato Cakes: Put two pounds of
boiled potatoes into basin-any re-
naming from the previous day will an
swer the purpose quite as well as fresh
cooked ones-and beat them to a per-
fectly smooth mass; add two ounces of
warmed butter, a teaspoonful of salt, a
good seasoning of pepper, two table,
spoonfuls of finely-chopped onions, one
of minced parsley, and two well-beaten
eggs. Mix the ingredients thorough
y, and form the preparation into
small, round cakes, about three-quar-
ters of an inch thick. Brush these
slightly over with beaten egg, sprinkle
them thickly with tinely-grated cheese,
and fry in plenty of boiling fat until
sufficiently Drowned. Drain carefully
from the fat, and serve crisp and dry,
tastefully-arranged on napkin.
Savory Rice Cakes: Boil breakfast
cupful of the finest rice in plenty of
milk or white stock. When the liquid
is absorbed, and the rice swollen out to
the full, turn it out into a basin and
add to it an ounce Of butter, two we'll
beaten eggs, one tablespoonful of
finely-minced boiled onion, and two
tablespoonfuls of grated cheese-a
piece which has become too hard and
dry for serving plain will do very
nicely for this purpose. Mix these
well, and season rather highly with
salt and pepper, then allow the mixture
to get quite cold. Thus far the dish
can be prepared the previous night.
Cut the rice next morning into small
square cakes about three inches each
way, and three-quarters Of an inch in
thickness. Egg and bread-crumb in
the usual manner, fry them in boiling
fat, drain carefully, and serve very
hot
Fried Bread Cakes: These are ex-
tremely simple, yet those who have
never tried them have no idea how ex-
ceedingly nice they are, and certainly
they form dainty within the reach of
most of us. Cut slices of bread, half
an inch thick, from stale loaf; soak
these for half an hour in milk, then
sprinkle them thickly with a mixture
of minced onion, herb powder, pepper,
salt and chopped parsley. Press this
firmly into the cakes on both sides,
and fry them in boiling fat. Serve
them as hot as possible, on hot dish
covered with napkin, and garnished
with parsley. If the bread can conven-
iently be soaked in good white stock,
it renders the cakes still more dainty.
Plain Savory Pancakes: Put six Ia
olespoonfuls of flour into basin with
a teaspoonful of salt; form this into a
batter of the proper consistency-a lit
tie thicker than really good cream
with three large fresh eggs, well
beaten, and little milk. Beat the
mixture briskly with a wooden spoon
until every tiny knot is bruised out;
then stir in a tablespoonful of minced
onion, a teaspoonful of herb powder,
and a good dust of pepper. Let the
batter stand a few hours-over night,
weather permitting-then fry small
tescupful at a time in boiling lard. A:
the pancakes are finished roll them UP
bolster fashion, sprinkle pepper and
SAT- ever. and serve as quickly after
being cooked as possible CsssiFs

POULTRY-YARO ERRORS.
Seemingly Small Matters All-Important
to Success in Chicken Raising.

Seemingly Small Matters All-Impor tant
to Success i'm Chicken Raising.
Many errors are liable to occur with
beginners at poultry raising, for even
the veterans are not free from mistakes
ut times. In selecting the breed
large majority pay greater regard to
color and shape than to more desirable
qualities. 1t is we'll to know that the
characteristic of the breeds should be
understood If no mistakes are to occur.
But, after breeder has become per-
fectly familiar with all that pertains to
his choice of fowls, the common routine
Of the poultry yard next requires at
tention. The times of feeding should
be regular, certain hours being fixed
upon for that purpose. but they
are very few who systematically
feed their fowls. Water should
he kept in the presence of poultry
at all times, and it should not only be
clean and pure, but fresh, and yet this
important matter is overlooked by
many. Warmth in winter is very es-
sential to laying, being as important as
a full supply of feed, but every fowl
house is not warm and comfortable.
The prevention of dampness in the
house avoids roup, which is terrible
scourge in o flock, but the small leaks
here and there are not regarded as
dangerous matters by the average
breeders. Even the height of the roosts
and construction OF the nests have
more or less tendency to effect the
profits from poultry than many may
suppose, for high roosts cause de-
formed feet, and poor nests will not DO
occupied by the hens If they can
get better places in which to lay.
Those things are seemingly small mat
ters. which are usually overlooked,
but they are important to success
Why poultry should be expected to
prove profitable without care moro
than other stock is what we do not un-
derstand, and the fact that a profit is
derived from q flock that has been
overlooked. is strong proof that poul-
try raising can be made to pay well
when conducted by thoughtful, atten-
tive persons. 1t is the small matters
that should receive careful attention,
as the observance Of method and sys-
m is sure to prove beneficial at all

SPENDING CHRISTMAS.
The Days DOings Pleasant and En-
j0yable N Ghurch and Home.

( joyable IN Church and Home.
/ Our space would prove utterly made
quste TO the giving Of the most meageI
outline of the various Christmas obser-
vances in churches and homes through
out the city and the neighboring town
ships. Around every hearth and in
every tabernacle the day was remem-
bered in a manner both enjoyable to
the participants and impressive to any
who were lockers On.
The church exercises were carried
out as outlined in these columns Mon
day evening. The cantata at the Bap-
fist and Lutheran churches the vision of
Fairie land at the Presbyterian, the
concerts at the Methodist, Christian,
Grace Reformed, Evangelical and
Brethren, were all attended by large
congregations that filled the respective
audience rooms and all gave the most
hearty satisfaction both to the mana
gers and the listners.
Candy and inexpensive gifts were
distributed in all the sanctuaries to the
little folks and some of the children
of larger growth The poor were not
forgotten but received of the bounty Of
the more fortunate in ways practical
and pleasing.
In the homes were the usual gifts
and reunions. The bountiful year and
the pleasant fall and winter had their
effect in increasing the crOpof presents
and few indeed of Abilene's 5000 in
habitants were not remembered.
The stores were closed after the
early hours of the day and the city took
on quite a Sabbath appearance. To-
ward evening the streets were alive
with carriages and pedestrians. AL
together it was a day to be remembered
for the smoothneSs and pleasantness of
its passing and the spirit of friendliness
and goodwill that pervaded it.

Ordination Services.

st. Johns church was filled by an
attentive congregation yesterday many
of whom, even among the commune
cants of the church, witnessed for the
first time the solemn and impressive
manner, in which the Episcopal church
ordains her priests and deacons.
Rev. J. H. Lee, of Manhattan, read
morning prayer, after which Bishop
Thomas made some timely remarks
on the scriptural authority for these
orders; then Rev. w. D. Christian pre-
sented to him the candidates-Rev. II.
H. Morrill,, of Sa!ina, for the priest
hood and Rev. David Brooks, of Dwight,
for the diacOnaJe. The bishops
charge to them was most beautiful and
touching, especially to the latter.
After the ordination of the deacon,
by the laying on of hands by the bishop
and one clergyman, he was invested
with the stole, laid across one shoulder,
symbol of his office; after the ordina-
ton of the priest and the laying on of
hands by two clergymen with the
bishop, his stole was changed from its
former position and placed around his
neck. At the close of the service, the
Holy Communion was administered by
the bishop and rector of the church.
IL the evening service was read by
Revs. Lee and Brooks, and an edifying
sermon on "Priestly Absolution'' wac
delivered by Rev. II. II. Morrill,.

and Most WOrshipful Past Grand Mas

brought into the lodge from the adjOin-
ing rooms and over one hundred sat
down to an excellent banquet furnished
by the wives of the members. Toasts
were responded to by Judge Bassett,
Hon. John Johntz, Hon. V. 2. Wilson
and C. c. Biting, Jr.
