for some time totally blind, and his educa-
ton abandoned. Before his parents knew
that his sight was yet sufficient for study he
taught himself to write by copying script
letters from signs and large circulars. His
mother was a ~favorite English singer and
actress and his father an Italian, and he was
educated with a view to becoming an artist
in short, his career has been more romantic
than anything he could write. He was born
in London in 1928, and at an early age began
to write for Charles Dickens, Household
Words. About 1861 he formed the; connec-
ton with The London Telegraph which has
continued ever since. He visited the United
States in 1868, 1879 and 1882.

George Augustus Sala.

George Augustus Henry Sala, whose re-
cent marriage to his a~manuensis, Miss Bessie
Stannard, has attracted attention anew to
him, is by no means the greatest of living
journalists, but he certainly has had the most
remarkable experiences in the way of hap
pening at a place just before a great event
occurred. He made a little visit to Paris in
1851, got into the city just as Napoleon III
was inaugurating the coup d'etat and saw the
worst of it. He went to Mexico, got caught
in the disputed zone between the bandits Inc
the French, and escaped to the capital just
before Bazaine's army entered it. He saw

Hints to- HOusekeeperS.

CLoTHEsPINs boiled a few minutes
and quickly dried once or twice month
become more durable.
AN excellent way of cooking eggs is
to break them in boiling milk without
beating; cook slowly, stirring now and
then. When done soft, pour into dish
and add little pepper, salt and butter.
SHRUNKEN, half-worn bed blankets or
comforts, past using on a bed, make
good pads to put under stair carpet.
They will answer the purpose just as
well as the boughten pads, and be a
great saving in the wear of the stair car
pet.
PAINTING the kitchen walls enables
one to wash them off, and in general
tends to neat appearance. The paint
should be good oil paint, applied as for
outdoor work, first sizing the surface to
be coated with solution of one-half
pounds of glue to gallon of water.
WITH little care every part of stale
bread can be utilized. All the odds and
ends of crusts should be spread evenly
on pan, and allowed to dry in a warm
oven. When quite dry, put them in q
small bag made of ticking or canvas,
and pound them fine with matlet. Sift
them, and put them in empty fruit cans.
They will keep for months, and can be
used for breading meats, fish, cro-
quotes, omelettes and making dressing
for fowls.

I should call it catching them on the fly. !"
And the story went down on the min
utes. you can tell your story now,
Frank, suggested the President, as soon
as order had been restored. Frank is one
of the younger members, and his tale was
as follows:
Some years ago was in British Co
lumbia at Chinook camp on one of the
rivers there. The Chinooks are tribe
of Indians there who live by hunting and
fishing, and so plentiful is the supply of
fish and game that they do not have to
work very hard. They are clean Indians
for Indians-and had pleasant visit
of several weeks among them. In the
rivers there, when the salmon are run
ming, it is really an indisputable fact that
the water rises eight or ten feet in height
to make room for the salmon to ascend
the river, and when they are returning
down stream after spawning they push
solid wall of water in front of them.

myself. To catch these salmon, many Of

mined we would kill few for their skins,
and to brighten them little, as they were
beginning to be a little too familiar on
such short notice. We set out about
o'clock in the afternoon, and got three fine
males in about two hours withizs mile
of our prospective camp. We soon came
across another fellow, the biggest we had
yet seen, and got quite close to him
in order to make sure work of him. We
fred together at him, or rather intended
to do so, but my rifle missed fire for some
unaccountable reason, and the bullet
from the scouts rife only wounded the
grizzly in one of his fore paws. He was
onto us pretty quick, can tell you, and
we made for trees in a hurry. / got up
all right, but the scout missed his grasp
and fell to the ground. Before he could
get up the grizzly was onto him, and a
terrific tussle ensued. The brute Rugged
and Rugged and bit 6ercely, and the
scout kept stabbing and slashing with his
knife. I got an opportunity finally and
fred, taking chances. Fortunately 1 shot
the bear through the brain, and the scout
was saved, and, do you know, he was not
much hurt after all. I asked him how he
liked the hugging, and, do you know, he
actually said he did not mind it very
much. He said he was used to something
of the kind. ] asked him how that was,
and he replied that he had been married
seventeen years in Utah, and had eight
wives.

-self-indulgence Sometimes, ike
the coral bed, it is formed of many min
ute PARTICLES, that combine to founder
the adventurous bark; and again it is
the single rock against which the vow
a9er is dashed with sudden tempest.
A young couple who had rented q coy
fat and were making their first essay at
housekeeping, found it impossible,
they said, to make both ends meet A
wise friend bade them put down for two
or three weeks every cent of their dis
bursements, even where the money
went for postage stamp or a ferry
ticket, and to bring him the list at the
end of that time. He heard nothing
from them for month, and went to see
them. The man and his wife both
laughed as he brought up the subject,
and said frankly that the expense book
was an unexpected revelation. They
found that more than half the amount
of their earnings had been spent for
things that might just as we'll have been
omitted, and a little sober self-denial
had made them self-supporting, for
the wife brought out a little wooden
bank, the contents of which already
jingled with the two or three weeks
savings.
The great bane of the poor, by which
We mean those VINO live from hand to
mouth, is their want of resolute self
denial in the use of their daily or
weekly earnings. And this runs ali the
way up to the man of business, who
wastes his thousands year through
self indulgence on the part of himself
or his household. and finally goes
down in credit and pocket for want of
the capital which might have been
gathered in the exercise of a proper
self-restraint. Young clerks, whose
salaries have been deemed by them to
be insufficient for their decent support,
would find surplus left, if they would
practice a little self denial, and would
soon be able to lay by something, how
ever small, of stipend that seemed so
inadequate. If every person who has
failed to accumulate any savings from
his annual income would put down on
paper an accurate account of his dis
bursements, he would soon find where
little judicious self denial would en-
able him to begin the long neglected
fund for n wet and wintry day.-Neu

THE KITCHEN.
Cake Baking,
for fowls.

It has become the custom of late to
bake almost all cake in a layer, and the
delicious loaf cake of our childhood has
almost entirely disappeared. 1t takes
less time and thought to make layer
cake, and there is danger that genuine
loaf cake making will become lost art.
Young cooks are found wondering how
it is possible to give to cake the tender
ness and lightness it used to have be-
fore the days of baking powders. Some
experiments was recently made, and 1t
was shown conclusively that stirring
and beating are more to be depended on
for producing fine grained and delicate
cake than any quantity of butter, or
eggs, or powder. A cake was made IN
this way: One cup of sugar and 10 half
cup of butter were stirred together until
light and creamy; one fresh egg was
then broken and put in without beating.
The three ingredients were then rapidly
beaten for four minutes, teacupful of
sweet milk was added, with favoring to
the taste; nearly two cups of sifted flour
were then put in, and one heaping tea
spoonful of baking powder. These
were all beaten together for i've min
utes. The dough was baked in but
tered tin, in one small loaf; the oven
was hot and in a little over half an
hour, with steady heat, the cake was
done. When it was cold it was cut in
square pieces; it was lemon yellow in
color, with q golden brown crust, and it
was then submitted to a committee who
did not know of what it was made, nor
the process of making, and it was pro-
nounced delicious and of exquisite
quality. There is one thing about cake
making that is not generally known. A
quantity of -four is given in a receipt,
and you follow the receipt closely, and
the result is not what you expected, for
the reason that there is a vast difference
in -four. Some kinds of -four seem to
possess almost fourth more thickening
power than other kinds, and it is wise
precaution to bake spoonful of dough
before you bake the cake, as you can
then add more -four if it is necessary, or
can thin the dough with little milk if
| that is needed

cents pound, while your neighbors
butter brings from twenty i've 50 thirty
cents But he uses the modern appli-
ances, feeds his COWS well, and goes to
lots OF trouble, which costs lots OF
money. If your wife wants cans and 9
tank for settling the milk, don't get
them, as they will cause her less work
and improve the flavor of the butter.
She may think the old dash-churn too
much OF a back-breaker, but don't mind
that; women are unreasonable creatures
at best; your grandmother and mother
used dash-churn, and what was good
enough for them is good enough for
your wife; there will be plenty of
women after she is dead, and some or
them may be foolish enough to marry
just such man as you are. Don't be
annoyed if your neighbor gets twice as
much for his butter as you get for
yours; it is not because it is any better
than yours; it is only matter OF preJu-
dice on the part of the consumer, and
you should let the world know that you
will not cater to anybody's taste for ff-
teen cents q pound extra on butter. AS
YOU don't believe in winter dairying you
won't need to use butter color. Let the
cows 90 mile or so to some creek or
slough to drink in winter, it gives them
exercise and makes them hardy, and
what you want is a regular rustler. >"
Avoid the use of all modern methods IN
the dairy, for such things increase the
fortunes of all who use them. Keep
right on in the old rut and don't thank
any man for Offering to help you into
better methods. Don't improve or beau
tify your home. Let the boys and girls
go from home for that comfort and
pleasure which you have always denied
them. AS the years go by and the farm
is sold to pay the mortgage, you may sit
by a desolate hearth with your gray
haired wife and say, We'll, ma, this is
hard luck"
But there is better way for the
dairyman. 1t is the broad road of
progress. The first step is, read the
best dairy papers. You will soon be-
come acquainted with the best dairy
breeds, and the methods of men who
have been successful. You will see
that his COWS have warm barns, that
they are kept warm, clean and comfort
able; that the corn is cut and carefully
saved in shock or silo, and jndiciously
fed, we'll mixed with oats, bran and oil
meal. And that good pasture, pure
water and good hay are regarded by
such men as necessity, that the best
dairy utensils are used, and that no old
fogy notions are followed. You will
observe that the methods of their an
cestors cuts no figure with them.
