RELIABLE RECIPES.

HAM ToAsT.-SIix with one table,
spoonful of finely chopped ham, the
beaten-up yolk Of an egg and little
cream and pepper; heat over the fire. and
then spread the mixture on hot buttered
toast. Serve very hot.
DAINTY SANDwIcHEs.-D sand
witches are always acceptable on the home
tea table. The daintiest sandwiches are
those made of ported meats and other
pastes spread upon wafer-like slices of
bread, delicately buttered. An egg-and-
anchovy sandwich is a novelty of this
kind which will be generally appreciated.
Boil six eggs for fifteen minutes. Re-
move the whites from five, 'reserving
them to decorate salad, or for any pur-
pose you desire. Chop the six yolks and
the one white remaining, and pound
them to paste, adding a teasporful of
butter and about teaspoonful of an
chovy paste-or more if you like the fla
vor strong. Pound the mixture again
thoroughly, and spread it on slices of
bread and butter. To make an egg and
anchovy toast, spread this same mixture
to which little cayenne and larger
proportion of anchovy has been added,
on thin slices of hot buttered toast. Send
the toast to the table on one of those
convenient hot water plates, which will
insure its being kept hot when served.
If you wish for variety, little smoked
Gods roe or caviarc may be substituted
for the anchovy.
A sandwich of potted cheese is also
delicious. Pound together half pound
of cheese and five tablespoonfuls of but
ter. Add little light French wine, so
as to make thick paste; spread this very
delicately on Boston crackers which have
been split and toasted, on thin slices of
bread and butter, or on crisp slices of hot
toast

General Outlook for Corn Is Not Good
Oats I'm Fair Shape.
The farmers Review this week con-
tains the following:
CORN.
In Illinois the corn crop is In anything
but desirable condition. Out of the
alternate counties reporting, only one
gives the condition as good, all of the
other correspondents giving either poor
or only fair. This fair means below an
average, and in some cases 20 per cent.
below. The outlook in Indiana is some
what better, nearly 40 per cent. OF the
correspondents reporting the prospects
for the corn crop as good, the others re-
porting fair, with the exception of about
one in seven, which report poor. The
crop is behind on account Of lateness in
planting, but is making up for 1t in rapid
growth. In Ohio the outlook is little
below that OF Indiana, about one-fourth
Of the correspondents reporting the ont
look for this crop as good. The others
about equally report fair and poor. In
Michigan the crop is making rapid
growth. and in about half of the coun-
ties reporting is full average or above.
Of the remainder, two-thirds report fair,
and one-third poor. The corn crop in
Kentucky is in very fine condition, all
OF the correspondents except eight re-
porting fair and good, most Of the coun-
ties being an average or above. In Mis-
sissippi about one In five report the pros
poets as good per cent. report poor and
the others fair. In Kansas and Ne
braska the crop is reported as fair OF
good, with the exception of very few
counties, where the season has been
particularly unfavorable. In Iowa IL
per cent. report the condition as good,
AZ per cent. report fair, and As per cent.
report poor. In Wisconsin the outlook
Is very unfavorable, two-thirds OF the
correspondents reporting it as poor, and
In some cases less than half crop. In
Minnesota the crop is in from fair to
poor condition, while in the Dakotas
half OF the correspondents report good
and others fair 10 poor.
The oat crop Is in good shape over
most OF the country, all of the corre-
spondents, with the exception of about
10 per cent, giving favorable report.
In Illinois 43 per cent report the out
look as full average or above, 25 per
cent report it fair, and the rest poor.
In Indiana the crop is in fair shape,
with few exceptions. In Ohio about
20 per cent. report the outlook at from
fair to above average. In Michi-
gan and Kentucky the outlook IL
good, but In Missouri nearly one-half
report the outlook as poor to fair, the
rest average or above. In Kansas one
half report the crop fair to good, others
poor. Two-thirds in Nebraska report
fair to good, the others poor. In Iowa

combatants. An angry mob lined the street
on both sidos. As the men passed by. each
in charge OF two deputies, the mill men
and their friends kicked them and threw
some OF them down. The Pinkertons begged
for mercy. Some of them had pistol shot

LAfe 3 full Of broken measures,
Objects unattained;
Sorrows intertwined with pleasures;
Losses OF our costliest treasures,
Fret the heights bs gained
Every soul has aspiration
Still unsatisfed;
Memories that wake vibration
Of the heart in quick pulsation
At the gifts denied.
We are better for the longing.
Stronger for the pain;
FOULS at ease are nature wronging--
Through the narrowed soil come throoging
Seeds. In Gun and rain.
Broken measures, fine completeness
In the perfect whole:
Life Is bat day in flectness-
Richer in all strength and sweetness,
Grows the striving soul.

A OWNING Bottle.

In connection with the subject of curl
osities of patent offices, q well-known
technical and scientific writer mentions q
peculiar patent that was taken out in
England by an American in 1880. The
object of the invention was to enable
precious metal to be discovered by a
process commonly known as divina-
ton, and it consists in composition
which has strong attraction and affinity
for gold and silver, the attraction resem-
bling somewhat that of magnetism" The
composition, which was made up of gold,
silver, quicksilver and copper, was placed
in small vial or flask, with quantity
of dilute nitric or tartaric acid or pure
alcohol, and to the neck of the flask was
attached cord about twenty inches in
length. The wording of the patent pro-
ceeds: SIN using my gold and silver finder
the instrument is held, preferably by the
thumb and forefnger of the right hand and
steadied with his left hand. 1t should be
held steady, but not cramped. Then if
there are any precious metals in the inn
mediate neighborhood the flask will be
attracted by such metals and will move
toward them at first and will then vibrate
thus indicating presence Of the metal
sought for" AS the name of the Texas
farmer who took out the patent is not in
the recently published list of the million
aires of the country it may fairly be as
sumed, either that the divining bottle
belied the faith of its inventor, or that he
was wanting in discrimination in the
selection of his hunting grounds. But
the idea is not new. The bottle with its
hanging string is suggestive of the di-
vining pendulum, of which the Latin his
torians of fifteen hundred years ago spoke
reverently, and the divining rod is used
to-day in certain hands with great success
in the the location of mineral lodes.-
