FIRESIDE FRAGMENTS.

Smoked ham should boil fifteen
minutes for each pound.
Canned String Beans: String fresh
butter-beans, break in two, and cook in
slightly safted water till tender, pack
boiling hot and cover we'll with the
sailed water and seal. For use, drain
them from the water, heat, and season
to taste.-Farm and Home.
Orange Syrup: Use ripe, fine fruit,
squeeze out the juice, and to every pint
add pound of sugar, boil slowly ten
minutes, skim, and when cold, bottle.
Two or three spoonfuls of this are suffi-
Gent for glass of water. This is also
an excellent flavor for sauces.-The
Household.
Some housekeepers keep bottle of
alcohol with which to rub their looking
glasses. This, applied with soft cloth,
and the mirrors afterward polished with
a chamois skin, does make them look
beautiful, but the wetted paper does
about as we'll and is much less expeG-
sive.-Christian at Work
Cherry Nectar: Select nice cher
ries, pound we'll with the stones in
them, press through sieve, add little
water, and boil up, filter through jelly
bag, one made of flannel is best. Mix
little sugar, water, and lemon juice,
then add cherry juice to suit the taste,
but do not make too sweet.-The House,
keeper.
An attractive way to serve cold
mashed potatoes is to heat them over,
the fire with little milk and stir until
smooth, then add two well-beaten eggs.
Butter an agate or earthen pie-plate;
arrange the potatoes in mound; rub
over with the white Of an egg, and bake
in hot oven to delicate brown.
Cold beef cut thin can be warmed in
various ways so as to have an entirely
different flavor: Melt heaping table,
spoonful of butter and add to it two
tablespoonful of any sour fruit jelly,
and teaspoonful of mixed French
mustard, and salt and pepper. When all
are thoroughly warmed together, dip
the slices of meat in one by one, and
when all are warmed place on warmed
platter and turn the remainder of the
sauce over them.-Rural New Yorker.
Minced Mutton with Poached Eggs:
Chop cold boiled or roast mutton quite
fine. Put two cupfuls Of this into the
frying pan with half an onion minced,
and half-cupful of good gravy. II you
have none, use instead little hot water
and lump of butter the size of an egg.
just before taking the mince from the
fire, stir into it a tablespoonful of
Worcestershire sauce or two table,
spoonfuls of tomato catsup. Heap the
mince on small squares of buttered toast
laid an hot platter, and place poached
egg on top Of each mound. Serve very
hot.-Harper's Bazaar.

When changing teams at veldt

ward and asked for places in our mail

for which they rendered the required

European passengers against being

who, flush with money from the mines,
chose to discard their ordinary means Of
transport-an OK wagon. But the six
teen sovereigns were too much for our
driver; the kafirs were thrust in, the
team started off at it's usual wild gallop,
and we could only solace ourselves with
invectives.
Bydegrees, however, the circumstance
assumed a fresh complexion. 1t was
palpable that one of these natives was

he is employed, whether willingly or
not, as Satan's decoy to betray the weak
and tempted to disease and death.
The same reasoning applies to society
at large. The evil of intemperance
stands to-day like the pyramid Of
Cheops amid the evils of the world.
Especially in our own land, owing to CHI
matte influences, the nervous tempera-
ment of our people and the skill and
abundance with which alcoholic bev-
erages are produced, the burden upon
society has become vast and insupport-
able. No one denies the unutterable
woes that the curse entails. Tho only
question is how they may be removed.
experience has developed one thor
oughly practical and effective method,
namely, the complete disuse of intoxi-
eating drink. Alcohol as q beverage
can, if all agree, be driven from the
lsid. No great evil could come from
sub course. Neither the public
hslth nor wealth could suffer. To do
without it has been proved over and
oSr again to be perfectly feasible and
pefectly safe. One thing only keeps
th destroyer in our midst, to-wit, the
sef-indulgence of the drinker. Under
Suh. circumstances the obligation to
AEessnence would seem to be almost
bbundless. The moderate drinkers of
our land have power of themselves to
stanch this stream of sin and woe.
Without their patronage the traffic
could not endure. To neglect such an
to heedlessly suffer such
limitless good to escape is incapable Of
justification. But the moderate con-
sumner not only neglects the good, he
the evil. Every glass that
he takes tends to perpetuate and multi
ply these miseries. He does what he
can to maintain the drinking habits of
the community and make the use of
the cup prevalent and popular. How
can he escape the disapproval of his own
and the condemnation of
mankind?-Rev. William Kincaid, D..

And pulled out plum,
And said: What big boy am n"
That is tho old story. l never be-
lieved that Johnny Horner did such a
silly thing. Did you? This, which l
tell you. is the new dress of the story,
and it is true. Johnny-not Johnny
Horner, but Johnny Wilbur-sat at a
lunch table in a large restaurant. The
others were in the back parlor eating
oysters, but Johnny wanted no oysters,
and was allowed to go into the other
room and order ''buns and milk" The
walters were flying about briskly. One
of them knew Johnny, and liked him,
so on his way through the room he
halted long enough to set down, not a
pie, but dish of pudding, close to
Johnny's plate, with a nod and smile
which said: THAT is for you"
The pudding had a great many
'piums" in it.
Johnny smiled back, said: "Thank
you" softly, and put in his thumb and
finger exactly like the Johnny of old
for plum. He bit it in two, chewed it
for few minutes, then quietly took it
from his mouth and laid it beside his
plate.

he came back, 81 thank you very much
for the pudding, but will you please to
take it away? l can not eat it."
"Why not?" asked the waiter, aston.

Yes, sir; but hasn't it got brandy in
it?" said Johnny.
"Why, only few drops in the sauces
it won't hurt you"
