licious.
For small luncheon, cloth yard
and half square is a good size, with
napkins twenty-four inches square.

Breakfast Sausage.-One pound of
sausage, one tablespoonful of pounded
crackers or grated bread crumbs and two
well-beaten eggs. Work and make into
little cakes. Roll in grated crumbs
Put in hot pan, without grease, and
fry brown.
Instead of ironing the fringe of
towels, doilies, etc, comb them out
straight, while damp, with a new coarse
toilet comb. 1t is well to secure one for
this purpose, though you can whip the
fringe out by beating it lightly over
your hand.
"A stamped border on linen is finished
with white silk floss in buttonhole stitch.
Sometimes the outline is worked over
gold cord and the leaves veined with
gold on mats and fine doilies. The linen
is cut away from the outside of the bor-

hour in two cups of molasses, one cup of
raisins, one-half cup of citron, four scant
cups of flour. This makes two large

juice for making jelly by straining
through a white strainer and using it

a bint of boiling water and pint of
sugar: add sufficient orange juice to
flavor it we'll and enough more water to

ECONOMICAL BUYING.
Be Guided More by the Quality Than BY
the Price of Goods.

Be Guided More by the Quality Than BY
the Price of Goods.
There are two golden rules in buying.
The first is familiar: ''Do not buy
thing because it is cheap" This is APP
plicable in more ways than one, but l
would place beside it another: Do not
buy a thing because it is high-priced.
The sum of both rules is: Be guided by
quality and not by price. Cheap goods
are, as general rule, of poor quality.
Let the shopper remember always, she
can not get something for nothing"
To be sure there are quite often bargains
in goods, and it is part of the art of shop
ping to look out for these, but one must
be wary and use careful judgment here.
If one be not sure of herself she would
better avoid them altogether.
1t is poor policy to buy things that will
soon look shabby. Better have one dress
of good quality than two of poor quality.
1t is bad economy also. and worse taste,
to buy cheap limitations of costly goods.
Better buy a good wool dress than
cheap silk. Better buy no embroidery
at all than that which is coarse and on
poor material. 1t will add no beauty to
the garment on which it is placed, and
it certainly will not be durable.
Again, high-priced goods are not al
ways the most serviceable. Dress goods
at dollar and a half per yard are often
no more durable, and sometimes less so,
than those at dollar. The extra price
is often charged for fineness of finish or
novelty in style. This is especially true,
also, with reference to shoes, hose,
handkerchiefs, etc. If one can afford to
pay the extra price for finish or style,
no doubt she will take pleasure in so do
ing, but we are now considering the
subject of economical buying for fam
lily. If one is in the habit of buying ex-
pensive goods, only such ones will be
shown her by the clerks who know her
taste, but no false pride should prevent
her from asking to see the cheaper
articles.
The habit of rapid calculation is valu-
able in shopping. For example, we are
shown piece of goods at a dollar and
another at dollar and a quarter per
yard, the difference in quality being
slightly in favor of the latter. If no
calculation in the matter is used, prob
ably the first piece would be taken, the
difference in quality not covering the
difference in price; but when we stop to
consider that the first is only thirty-six
inches wide, and that it will require
twelve yards, while the second piece is
forty-four inches wide and only nine
yards will be required, thus it is really
cheaper to buy the better piece.-Good
Housekeeping.

How the Mink Catches Fish.

While engaged in geological work on
the Cedar river, Iowa, my attention was
attracted by mink engaged in fishing
for her young. On the ripples in the
center of the stream, where the water
was not more than two feet in depth,
was a fat bowlder risi, G few inches
above the surface. On this rock the
mother mink took her position, and
watched for small fish to approach, when
she would dive into the water, be gone
for moment and reappear usually with
a fish in her mouth, which she would
deposit in the center of the stone, stop
ping its struggles by quick, sharp
bite back of the head. The process was
repeated until seven fish were deposited
on the rock. Then, taking one of them
in her mouth, she swan to the shore,
climbed the steep bank, and ran hastily
to her young in burrow under an old
stump.-C, L, WebstAr.

Tremendous Rains.

The rains of last Saturday and
Sunday, according to the statements
of old-timers, were the heaviest
which have visited this section with,
in the last twelve or fifteen years.
At this writing the reporter Of the
BANNER has been unable to interview
only few country people, but the
few who have been seen report bad
washouts in every direction. The
roads have been very much dam
aged, several bridges having been
either swept entirely away, or the
approaches to them so badly washed
that they will have to be repaired
before they can be safely travelled
over. In places the growing crops
have been damaged and pillow fur
roughs converted into gulleys. The
rain of Saturday lasted all night
long, and according to the measure
ment made by Capt. j. G. Sloan,
United Stated signal observer, meas
ured LIS inches up to 5 O'Clock on
Sunday afternoon. This itself was
no Scotch mist, but was greatly ex-
ceeded by the rain of Sunday night,
which began shortly after dark and
lasted until nearly daybreak Monday
morning. It registered 2.13 inches
one of the biggest rain-falls ever
known in the same length of time.
The farmers will not need any more
moisture for many day now, and
all that falls in the meantime will
only delay farm work, which is al
ready much further behind hand
than it ought to be.

Planning an Excursion.

On Thursday Messrs. W. L. Leg
gett and ". G. Leggett, representing
Leggett Bros Western Immigration
Agency, with headquarters at
Wichita, Kansas, arrived in the city
to consult with leading property
owners and business men with re-
gard to bringing an excursion party
of capitalists and home seekers here.
They have been in this business for
ten years and more. By getting up
large parties they obtain cheap rates,
and as they are not purely pleasure
parties but intended home-seekers
and are never taken to any but de-
sirable locations where they are like
ly to invest their excursions nearly
always result in booming the towns
which they visit. While going from
Austin to Galveston Messrs. Leg
gett were SO favorably impressed
with the farms along the road in
this county that they stood all the
way on the platform viewing the
lands and were told by the conduc-
tor that they might travel the state
over and not find a better county or
town than Brennan. They were so
favorably impressed that after trans
acting their business at Galveston
they returned to Brennan. It is to
be hoped that their visit here will
result in much good. If people of
in search of homes and de-
sirable points at which to invest
could only be induced to visit this
city there isn't much doubt about
their investing.

Murphy's Turkey Eggs.

The following is clipped from the
Kentucky Citizen, published at
Paris, in that state: ''On Monday
last Rev. W. Dorsey shipped two
settings of celebrated Bronze Tur-
key eggs to W. H. Murphy, OF
Brennan, Texas. Mr.. Murphy is a
native of Richmond, Ky, and still
has love for Kentucky, Kentuckians
and Kentucky stock. In choos-
ing a life partner he captured a
Bourbon county lady Miss Lizzie
Wilson, and was pleased that he
now prizes his native State more
than ever. The turkey eggs sell at

For Stealing Lard.

An employee of Messrs. Fisher &
Weis' sausage factory, named John
Wagner, was quietly arrested at
three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon
while at work by Deputy Sheriff
league and Constable Boyd on a
charge preferred by his employers
for theft of lard. For several weeks
Wagner had been regularly and
systematically engaged in stealing
from them and selling to Mr..
Pfughaupt, the grocer. He stole as
often as twice or three times week,
and one colored drayman of the city
admitted that he had hauled three
large cases of lard for him at one
time to Pfughaupts. After Wage.
ner was arrested he was taken to
and identified and he
admitted the theft. Wagner came
to Brennan three or four months
ago in answer to an advertisement
of Fisher &. Weis in the Galveston
News, and his pilfering extends
through the whole time of his ser
vice. He was discharged about
three weeks ago by Mr.. Weis, the
junior of the firm, but he went to
MIR. Fisher and put up poor mouth
and was taken back in their employ.
