Kitchen KnIyes.

Not one person in thousand under
stands how to select good steel kitchen
knife. 1t is false economy to provide
kitchenmaid with cheap, inferior tools.
She will appreciate your consideration If
she is provided with suitable tools to do
her work with, and will equally appreciate
your niggardliness or ignorance if she is
provided with iron bread knives and po-
tato knives that act as saws. The differ
ence in cost between good tools of this
kind and inferior ones is not very great
The method of testing them is simple. A
good steel knife is elastic and bends readily
and easily when the point is pressed on the
table.
A good bread knife will cost about seven
ty-five cents and upward French knives
S1.25 and upward. 1t is always wise to buy
these knives of an experienced cutler, who
is thoroughly trustworthy. The knives of
the most distinguished makers of kitchen
cutlery have been initiated even so far as
the name; so unless you are judge of a
good knife yourself it is better to depend
on trustworthy dealer. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to add that such valuable knives
should be kept away from the fire or their
temper will be lost, and they will be of nc
more value than an iron knife This should
be explained to the servant, and every
kitchen should be provided with at least
two cheap iron knives to use around the
stove.
A scraping knife good enough for the pur
pose will cost about twenty cents, and is q
convenient article to use about the stove
It is short knife, with broad, fan shaped
blade, with keen edge that answers the
purpose of scraping pots and pans admira

Baron Hirsch,s Fortune.

Baron Hirsch, the well known Jewish
philanthropist, is said to be worth $780,,
100000. He made his wealth chiefly out Of
contracts for building Turkish and Tran
sylvania railroads. The Rothschilds were
his financial hackers when he assumed the
contracts, bEt they got the idea that the
railroads wohM not succeed and therefore
withdrew their support. He then secured
assistance from big banking firms of
Frankfort, which he wns able to influence
through his marriage, and thus obtained
funds enough to carry on the great under
taking.
European financiers have been surprised
by the enormous success of these railroads.
They paid from the day they were opened,
and they made one of the greatest fortunes
III Europe for the bold contractor who
pinned his faith to them when others
thought him foolhardy. Everything he
has since touched has turned to gold. He
is a large holder of landed estates and
French rentes. 1t is said his benefactions
for several years psSt have amounted to
81, ,000 900 annually. Railroad Review.

Cocoa for Soldiers Breakfast.

The youth and health of our home army
are an important study. It has been
pointed out by Lieutenant Colonel Allsopp
and others in our columns how it is posi-
BILE at a minimum of cost to do much to i'm
prove the physique of the young lads who
compose it. Free rations do not include
tea and breakfast; these the soldier finds
frog his pay, All our readers are aware
that no one in civil or military life COM
mences an excursion with "a sinking stom-
ach"
Experience enables Lieutenant Colonel
Allsopp to state that few things promote So
briefly and discipline, improve the health
and physique of our young soldiers more
than an early ration of cocoa and biscuits
before the morning drill. The best cocoa
must be used-iJ goes the farthest. We
recommend cocoa; it is easily prepared, as
similates in the stomach without milk or
sugar and is very nutritious. This is a
modest and practical reform. We invite
the war minister to consider it's adoption
as an additional incentive to recruiting, a
sure and certain method of ameliorating
the physical welfare of the British soldier,
and thereby promoting contentment in the
ranks.-British Medical Journal.

Sailors, 1yenther Wisdom.

Birds are very largely associated with
the weather by seafarers. In the English
channel the fishermen regard the flight Of
the curlew on dark nights as the certain
precursor Of an east wind. The gales of
the spring equinox are called Gowk storms,
because they follow the cuckoo-almost
everywhere regarded as a weather prophet.
The appearance of the seamew promises
rain and high southwest winds. Seagulls
in the field mean storm from southeast.
The stormy petrol is a bird of ill omen.
But all these and other bird traditions may
be traced to old Greek and Roman tradi-
tions, and possibly even still further back.
Then as to fishes, the appearance of
dolphins and porpoises around a ship is an
old sign of storm. Shakespeare refers to
it, as do several of the old play writer's.
And again we may find the explanation in
the ancient mythical character of the dol
phin. In old mythology the dolphin typi
fies the moon, and the moon is the weather
maker. An old belief of sailors that to cut
the hair and nails during calm would
certainly bring on a storm is plainly re-
ferable to the Greek maxim that the nails
must not be pared before the gods.

Neglect of Duty.

Willful neglect of duty on the part of
any employee, in whatever capacity, is
nothing less than especially when
that carelessness endangers life. Michael
Connolly was arraigned at Liverpool for
having neglected his duty in such way
as to endanger the safety of the steamship
City of New York. He had allowed the
water in one of the three boilers of which
he was in charge to become very low; in
fact, so low that there was no water in the
gauge glass at all. This Of course greatly
endangered the ship. The defendant in
sisted that he had been instructed to work
on not more than two inches of water, and
that the water ran out in q very short
time, so quickly that it had escaped his
notice.
The result of the trial was that Connolly
was disrated to the station of an ordinary
fireman, which, considering that his care
lessness had endangered the lives of hun
dreds and property to the value of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars, was a very
light sentence indeed. Just as the small
est wheel Of watch is absolutely neces-
sary to the perfect working of the chro-
nometer, so the most insignificant employee
on board ship is essential to the welfare of
the ship. A slip of the tiny wheel may
ruin the watch, and bit of criminal care
lessncss may result in great calamity

Ksm.,y AmbrOsiA.


The good housekeeper, who looks on the
outer world as a pitfall and on home as the
only safe place, relies largely on the deli
cacies Of the table 10 bring people home
and to keep them there afterward. And
%, also, does many another woman who
has no such poor opinion Of the outer
world. In accordance with this precau-
tionary wisdom she feels il necessary not
only TO have sweet sauces and honeYed dain-
ties for everyday use, but to establish a
sort Of sinking fund in the matter OF sup
plies, that she may be always ready If any
special draft Is made upon her capacity
there for the sake OF company. Woe be-
tide her, then, II she has let the summer
days go by without filling her preserve
jars, either because Of the heat or through
too fopd reliance on the supply of early fall
fruit, which any untoward accident, either
OF rain or drought, may bring to naughtl
Melons make, by the way, useful va
riety Of sweets. In Mexico one Ct the
choicest salads is made out OF the flower OF
the pumpkin vine, and our housewife
need not despise preserve made in the
same way as that Of the melon from the
large cucumber lying out to ripen its seeds
In the sun. Possibilities OF orange mar
malade, moreover, where the transparently
thin shredded peel that has lain all night
in salt and water is boiled with the sliced
seedless pulp and their combined weight

March.
Hot buttered biscuit and sweetmeat may
be unwholesome, but they are nice. A tea
table which offers them, and only them, is
always inviting, and our housekeeper's
point is to have the tea table q temptation.
Awhile cloth, such silver as there isspark-
ling, such table service neat, fresh tea and
hot, good bread and butter, and preserves

The Art of Sewing Among the jews

The Bible is full of allusions to the fem,
mime art of sewing. Striking examples are
the famous coat of Joseph and the little
coat that Hannah made from year to year
for her little son; the charitable work Of
Dorcas and the elegant embroidery of the
Hebrew women in ornamenting the Taber
nacle.
They made rich hanging for the door Of
the tent, ''of blue and purple and scarlet
and fine twined linen wrought with needle
work" Aaron's fine coat of linen was
embroidered, and his girdle was of fine
twined linen, and blue and purple and scar
let of needlework" There cannot be any
doubt that the women of Israel learned the
more elegant uses of the needle from the
Egyptians, who had for centuries excelled
in this work, and exported it to other coun
tries before the descendants of Abraham
sojourned among them. The Prophet
Ezekiel speaks of "fine linen with EN-
broidered work from Egypt. "-Woman's

THE GLoRIEs OF HEAVEN
Well, there is coming greater surprise
to every ChristiAn-a greater surprise than
anything | have depicted. Heaven Is an
old story. Everybody talks about il. There
is hardly hymn in the hymn book that
does not refer to It. Children read about
It in their Sabbath school book. Aged
men put on their spectacles to study it,
We say It is a harbor from the storm. We
call 1t our home. We say it is the house Of
many mansions We weave together all
sweet, beautiful, delicate, exhilarant
words; we weave them into letters, and
then we spell it out in rose and lily and
anaranth. And yet that place is going to
be a surprise TO the most intelligent Chris
tian.
Like the Queen of Sheba, the report has
come to us from the far country, and many
of us have started. 1t is desert march,
but we urge on the camels What though
our feet be blistered with the wayi We
are Fastening to the palace. We take all
our loves and hopes and Christian am
bitions, as frankincense and myrrh and
cassia to the great king. We must not
rest We must not halt. The night Is
coming on, and it is not safe out here in the
desert. Urge on the camels. l see the
domes against the sky, and the houses Of
Lebanon, and the temples and the gardens
See the fountains dance in the sun, and the
gates flash as they open to let in the poor
pilgrims.
Send the word up to the palace that we
are coming, and that we are weary of the
march of the desert. The king will come
out and say: Welcome to the palace;
bathe in these waters. recline on these
banks. Take this cinnamon and franklin
cense and myrrh and put it upon a censer
and swing it before the altar" And yet,
my friends, when heaven bursts upon us it
will be greater surprise than that-Jesus
on the throne, and we made like himi All
our Christian friends surrounding us in
gloryl All our sorrows and tears and sins
gone by foreverl The thousands Of thou
sands, the one hundred and forty and four
thousand, the great multitudes that no
man can number, will cry, world without
end, 1.-THE half-the half was not told usl''

The dog took the end of it between

trait asked him if he thought his dog
would lie quiet for time, as / wished
to sketch him.
"Oh, yes, mon" he answered, "he'll

AS the dog did not appear we went to-
gether to look for him. and found him
sitting before the kitchen fire with the
end Of the plaid in his mouth, holding il

of his intelligence, and the master re-
piled:
"Ah, he's canny creature, sirl He

So we returned to my ROOM and tht
handsome collie sat for his portrait.
