MAcARoNI, FARMERS STYLE.

Boil half a pound Of macaroni, and
meantime stir together over the fire one
ounce each of butter and -four until they
begin to bubble; gradually add to them
a half pint of boiling water, stirring the
sauce with an egg-whisk until smooth;
season with a t~easpoonful of salt and a
quarter Of q saltspoonful each of white
pepper and nutmeg. Drain the macaroni
and heat it in this sauce. Peel and slice
an onion and fry in very little drippings.
Put the macaroni on a hot dish and pour
the onion over. To serve with a bechamel
sauce, merely substitute milk for the
water and omit the onion. To bake,
put the macaroni, boiled and drained, on
a baking dish, pour over it half a pint OF
the white or bechamel sauce mixed with
a quarter of a pound of grated cheese;
dust over the top with fine bread crumbs
dot with one ounce of butter cut into bits,
and brown in a quick ven.-Y YANKEE

An Old.time Timekeeping Problem.

Standard time, it seems, is not a new
thing. In the twentieth chapter of II.
Kings it was applied with far more than
modern facility and variety. Hezekiah,
who was a contemporary of Homer, was
sick unto death, and was advised by the
Prophet Isaiah to put his house in order.
On being thus admonished Hezekiah
turned his face to the wall and weps,
then prayed for recovery. Soon after
ward he was assured by the prophet that
the prayer had been heard, and that If
teen years would be added to his life,
Hezeklah asked for g sign that he would
thus happily be healed. Isaiah answered
that the shadow on the sun dial should
be moved forward or backward ten de-
grees as the desired sign. And the sacred
history continues thus:
$40. And Hezekiah answered: 1t Is
a light thing for the shadow to go down
ten degrees; nay, but let the shadow re-
turn backward ten degrees
"11. And Isaiah the prophet cried
unto the Lord: and he brought the
shadow ten degrees backward. by which
it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz."
Thus the first known mention of the
sun dial is coupled with a more difficult
problem in timekeeping than any now
agitating the publlc.-LsNetsrs' Weekly.

scALLoPED FISH.

Break one pound of boiled Oh broiled

pudding@dish, then a layer of fish,
seasoned >ith salt and pepper, then an
other layer M sauce, and another layer
of fish. Finally, cove with the bread

TEARS.

4 FASTENED home one winters eve,
j when dark the dropping shadows fell;
T fslt my soul disposed to grieve.
VET what about I could not tell;
pnt grim forebodings filed my mind
Of some disaster near at hand,
Nv bosom to despair inclined,
NV fears to fever-heat were famed.
Il hurried on with rapid pace
To reach my home and darling wife;
! ionged to see the loving face
Which cheered and frightened up my life,
and vet there was a nameless dread,
/, A strange ~misgiying in my breast,
That ] might find my darling dead,
Or by affection sore oppressed.
Fen was it as I thought; for when
/ reached the house and sought my prize,
i found her plunged in sorrow then
The tears were streaming from her eyes.
I clasped her in my arms awhile,
begged her to explain her fear;
She answered, with a humid smile:
eI've just been peeling onions, dear"

POTATO CRoQUETs.

This is my favorite method of serving
potatoes for tea, writes Miss Pollock in
the Prairie Farmer. 1t also makes a very
nice breakfast dish, as mashed potatoes left
owe from dinner the day before may be
used, but fresh mashed potatoes are best,
so I prefer the dish for tea. Allow one
egg for about half-a-dozen potatoes
mash them well, beat the egg, stir it
with the potatoes, season with salt and
white pepper, add enough butter and
nice sweet milk to make them soft
enough to form in fat balls, make them
pretty firm and perfectly smooth on both
sides; dip each n in egg, then in fine
cracker or bread crumbs and fry a deli
cate brown in hard lard or suet. Drain
the grease from them and serve very hot.

Horrible Accident.

Charles w. Howard, Of Evans.
ton, who has been employed ~
brakeman on freight train No. 80,
Of the Union Pacific, met with a
fearful death at point about twelve
miles east Of Ogden, yrsterday
morning, at or near DEVILS Gate.
Where the accident occurred, the
road has numerous curves and .
downward grade. As the accident
was not seen by anyone, the exact
manner in which the unfortunate
man was killed will probably never
be known. 1t is supposed that he
was thrown from the top of q box
car by lurch of the train in round
ing a curve while in the act of ap-
plying the brakes to the train,
which was heavily loaded, and rum
ming at the rate OF thirty miles an
hour. Howard was not missed
from his post by the trainmeu until
Ogden was reached, where . search
was mt once instituted for him,
and his mangled- remains were
found dangling between the
couplings of two box cara.
The limbs of his body were hanging
downward, and the flesh torn from
of the fingers Of both hands, and
the toes Of one foot until the bones
were exposed to view.
Scarce anything remained Of the
body but the trunk. One leg he'd
been torn completely from its socket
and was discovered by some railroad
men, at q point near Uintah. II
was so mangled and bruised - TO
be difficult TO tell what itfeally was.
The remains were taken charge
OF by Undertakor Preshaw, Of Og.
den, and sent to Evanston last ey-
ening, ut $50, to Howard's vile
who had been appraised Of the fear
full fatality.
The deceased was Is yeaEs old and
q member Of the Painters Union,
until recently followed The
trade Of painter.
