LaborerS In the Employ OF the District
Get Their Hard Earned Dollars.
The corridor outside of Auditor
Pctty's Office at the District building
this morning resemblcd, on small
scale, Pennsylvania mining town
where strike is on. Hundreds of
stalwart, roughly-clad men stood idly
around, with their hands thrust deep
in their pockets. From time to time
small groups Of them emerged from the
office, but there the resemblance ceased,
for instead of the scowling faces which
generally result from an unsatisfactory
interview with the superintendent, the
visages of all who came out were
lighted up by the broadcst kind Of smile.
and each man held in his hand instead
of a walking ticket check for sub
stantial amount. 1t was pay day For

A Plate of Stale Bread.

When you make a bread pudding OF
your stale crusts, my dear young house
wife, you fancy youhave done an econom-
ical thing, although half the pudding is
thrown away, because "John" doesn't
like plain pudding. 1t would be better
economy to throw the bread away in
stead OF wasting your time in making
something no one wishes to eat.
Now, although no one need throw away
q plateful of stale bread, it is sometimes
the most economical thing to do with it,
especially in hot weather, when it is apt
to mold. At other times cut Off any
brown crusts, break in small pieces, and
dry, not toast, it in the oven when the
fire is low. Then pound orrOllit very fine.
and put it in paper bag, which should
behung in cool, dry corner ofyour pan
try. You will find it very convenient to
use in preparing scalloped oysters, meat,
eggs, or tomatoes for bread sauce, and
many other things.
The bread may be used i'll various
ways. If the slices are not broken or too
thick, they make delicious Drowned sand
wiches. Spread each slice OF bread with
chopped meat, cover with slice OF bread,
and press together. Proceed in this man.
ner till the meat and bread are used, and
cut each sandwich in halves. Place them
ON plate and pour the milk and egg
over them until it is absorbed Put
heaping teaspoonful OF butter on large
frying pan, and when it begins to brown
place the sandwiches upon it, When
nicely Drowned add little more butter
and turn them, letting them brown quick
ly on the other side Serve as soon as
possible. This makes delicious break
fast dish, and may be used to advantage
to ''help out" a scanty dinner.
The stale slices of bread are often used
without meat, just soaking them in the
egg and milk and browning nicely. In
deed, q plate of stale bread is q perfect
mine OF culinary surprises.

A SONG FROM THE SUBS.

Queen OF my tub, merrily sing.
While the white foam rises high,
And sturdily wash and rinse aud wiring,
And fasten the clothes to dry;
And then out in the fresh air they swing.
Under the SUNNY sky.
/ wish we could wash from our hearts and our
souls
The status of the week away,
And let pure water and air by their magic make
Ourselves as pure as they
Then on the earth there would be, indeed,
A glorious washing day
Along the path of a useful life
Will heart ease ever bloom;
The busy mind has no time to think
OF sorrow, or care. or gloom;
And anxious thoughts may be swept away
As we busily WELD a broom.
I am glad d task to me is given
To labor at day by day.
For 1t brings me health and strength and nope
And cheerfully learn to say -,
