USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Fish cakes for breakfast are just as
| good or even better made with the rem
nants of shad, bluefish, weakfish or other
warm weather catches, as they are made
with Goldfish. Fish cakes with cooked
rice and bread crumbs, made with
drippings, are also very good, though
the usual "com bine" is with mashed
potatoes.-Springfeld Republican.
Oatmeal Biscuit ounces of
flour, two ounces of fine oatmeal, two
ounces of butter, one ounce of sugar.
one egg Mix the dry ingredients melt
the butter in a pan, break in the egg
and mix. Roll out on a board and cut
into shape. Should the egg not make
it quite soft enough, add very little
milk. Bake on Toured baking sheet.

Put crude borax into a large bottle
and fill with water When it has dis
solved add more to the water, until at
last the water can absorb no more and
particles are seen at the bottom. TO
the water in which the hands are to be
washed pour from this bottle until the
water is rendered very soft. 1t is
cleansing and healthful and will heal
scratches and chaps, besides keeping

A very pretty fat frame for small
engraving can be made of plain pine
covered with enamel paint in white,
cream or any pale tint; a narrow bead
ing painted in gold or silver adds to it's
attractiveness. Some very charming
frames are simply covered with soft
silk in any delicate plain color, slightly
shirred or with fullness enough to cover
the joining of the four strips of silk at
the corners.-N. Y. World
Soap bark is said to be excellent for
cleaning wooden dress goods. Ten
cents worth is sufficient at one time.
After soaking the bark over night in
pail of warm water, add two-thirds of
the solution to the water in which the
goods are to be washed. If they are
very much soiled, add also little am
monia. Put the remainder Of the solu-
ton in the rinsing water, which should
be warm. Dry quickly out doors, but
in the shade, and iron, when nearly
dry, on the wrong side. Good Health.
Light Dumplings. We have at las,

Egg Sauce for Desserts. in
gradients for this delicious sauce are
three eggs, one cupful of powdered

A SECRET understanding has been ar
rived at between the powers of the
triple alliance to stem as far as possible
the tide of Jewish emigration from
Russia, and to force the Jews back into
Russia, The motive is supposed to be
that the Jews are an element of weak
ness in Russia, and that it is not desira-
bic to have them foisted on other ma
tons, especially the members OF the
alliance. Both Italy, Prussia and Aus
tria, as if by common understanding
are taking steps to drive immigrant
Jews back from their borders.

Trying to Invalidate Her Marriage.

A Georgia woman is trying to prove
that she was not lawfully married, in
order to get pension from the state aa
the widow of confederate veteran
who died in 1864. The word lawfully"
was inserted in the affidavit of the wit
nesses, so the sworn statement was
that she had never been lawfully mar
ried' since the death of her husband.
Capt. Harrison sent back the pa
per and asked for an explana-
ton, which appeared in the shape OF
an Endorsement on the certificate
by ordinary bill that the applicant mar
ried soon after the war, but found out
in very short while that the man had
been married before, whereupOn she
left him. This satisfactorily accounted
for the insertion of lawfully" but to
Capt Harrison's mind it did not make
the case much, if any clearer. He is
very much inclined to hold that the
woman married again within the
meaning of the pension act, and is GER
tain that she must furnish the depart
ment sufficient legal evidence to show
the prior marriage of the man who
sought, and at least attempted, to mar
ry her.
