A Valuable Relic.

IN the last month of her life Mary
Queen of Scots amused herself making
a bed quilt. Upon a background of
red. green and black silk she worked
various designs with silk thread of
bright colors. In several places she a.
tempted embroidered portraits of noted
characters of her time. The resem-
dances. however, are striking This
quilt was the gift of the queen to a
maid of honor who remained with her
through loss of power and friends.
The quilt has been carefully treasured
by the descendants of the one to whom
it was given. Ii was brought by them
to this country. and one of them, Sen
ator John Bidlake, of South Dakota
sent il to the fair.

FRUIT PANCAKES.
Recipe for a Delicious Dessert Familiar to
Europeans.


Europeans.
The fruit pancake is dish almost
unknown in this country. Yet it is a
delicious dessert i'm familiar use among
the Germans. and'one very easily made.
The European pancake, however,
which is baked in sheet-iron frying
pan, does not compare with our Ameri-
can griddle-calxe. The griddle Is dis
tinctively American institution. The
batter used for the European pancake
is quite similar in consistency to our
American griddle-caSe batter, possibly
little thinner.
Make plain batter of half pound
of wheat flour, add three eggs. yollxs
and whites, and a tablespoonful of
powdered sugar. Stir the mix
Then add slowly cup of cold
milk. Beat the batter thoroughly UNI
til it is perfectly smooth AMI light.
For an apple fruit pancake pour enough
of the batter into thin frying-pan 20
cover the bottom, and spread layer of
stewed apple over it. Let it cook for
about three minutes on top of the
stove. and then set the fryingp pan in
hot oven to bake for about five minutes.
For an orange pancake prepare the bat
ter i'm the same way. Cut the oranges
i'm thin, round slices, erosswise remove
the seeds, cover the bottom of the fry
ing-pan in the same way, and spread a
layer of oranges over it, masking each
slice with little of the uncoolSed bat.
ter. Finish it in the oven in the same
way as the apples
mixture in equal parts of oranges
and bananas, sliced and treated in this
way. makes nice pancake. Peaches
make a delicious pancake. Strawberry
pancakes are best prepared in the fol-
lowing manner Bake the batter as
before, but without adding the fruit.
When it Is baked, spread it with fresh
Strawberries, slightly crushed and
sprinkle them lightly with powdered
sugar. All fruit pancakes should be
eaten with powdered sugar, and the
Germans and French often add slices
of lemon, the juice of which they
squeeze over the pancake. 1t is not de-
sirable to serve these pancakes in rolls
like a French pancake, but spread ont
fiat as they are bal1ed.-N. Y. tribune.

WOMEN SHOULD KEEP BOOKS.
1t Encourages Habits of Economy and
Good Indictment

Whether woman is poor or rich IL
behooves her to acquire methodical
business habits. keeping her little ac-
counts accurately and knowing to
cent just what she does with her money,
whether she has ten cents or ten dol
lars to expend on her own little per
sonal wants. An allowance is the first
step toward this end, if at the same
time it is impressed upon her that every
sum spent should be set down with I'M
falling regularity. In black and white
one notes how much more easily the
money can be spent, how quickly II
goes and Just what foolish little moth
ings have lured il from our pockets.
Without setting down each item it is
ten chances to one that you will con-
clude that you must have lost some
money when you can not see how that
ten-dollar bill went when you only
bought such few things The neat
little figures are genuine restraint,
besides instilling a habit and system
that viii be of great value if fortune
ever smiles and a great estate comes to
your hands, and still greater if
economy is a necessity, and the dollar
has to be forced into doing duty for
two.
Unless the accounts are kept ac-
curately, and cash made to balance
every evening, you had better not at
.empt any bookkeeping at all, for slip
shod methods are worse than none. and
only confuse everything rather than
help matters. If anything is worth do
ing at all, it is worth doing well, and
there is nothing so productive of future
good as the habit of looking carefully
out for the pennies when school days are
the only trials, and the allowance of
fifty cents a week goes for candy and
pickles If this plan is once established
in childhood, the girl will grow to wom-
anhood with a clear knowledge of
where her money goes and what she
has TO show for it.-Baltimore Herald.

scribes the nature of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters than any other. The medicine has
specific qualities, of course, as in cases of

qualities invest il with a health-endowing

The Englishman In a Town Of the French
Canadians.

Over the New France broods the
spirit of an earlier century and race
with which the English can not inter
mingle, and evidently can not over
come. In the parishes outside the two
cities the cure rules, and in many %
them there dwells not single English
family. The priests utter incanta tions
over the potato-bugs and grasshoppers.
The auction for souls is regularly held.
The grain is annually brought to the
church for blessing. And not single
Protestant is there in the community

that which is under the charge of the

How Walt whitman Lived.

The facts concerning Walt Whitman's
source of revenue in the last years OF
his life have never been told. II is
well known that he was always poor:
that few magazines would buy his work
that the royalties on his books were
small, and that he was partly incapaci
tated by paralysis. He might have
died in actual want but for the action
of few of his admirers. mostly resi-.
dents of New York and BROOKLYN, who
agreed to pay, and did pay, a certain
sum apiece every month that insured
his comfort. Whitman was sensitive
to anything that appeared lik charity
and this generous giving was kept Sc
cret, but he was very grateful for this
timely aid, and those who fur iished il
have autograph letters i'm his heavy.
