Some Good Recipes.

The following excellent recipes are
from the pages of Table Talk:
PRUNE PUDDING. Soak one pound
of prunes over night. In the morning
remove the stones, put the prune' in a
porcelain lined kettle with sufficient
water to prevent burning, cover the
kettle and cook slowly on the back part
of the stove until the prunes are per-
fectly tender. This will take about an
hour; then add cup of sugar, and
through colander, or, if you have a
Keystone" beaten, few revolutions
will reduce them to smooth pulp.
Beat the whites of three eggs to a stiff
froth, and add them TO the prunes.
Have quarter of box of gelatine
soaked for half an hour in half cup of
cold water; stand this over the fire until
the gelaline is dissolved, stir into the
prunes with the whites of the eggs, turn
into mold and stand away to harden.
When ready to serve, turn on to pretty
dish and pour around it a custard made
from one pint of milk, two tablespoon
fuls OF sugar and the yolks of three eggs.
This cuslard may be very delicately fla
vored with bitter almond, but be very
careful only to add few drops or you
will destroy the fl .vor of the prunes.
CHOCOLATE WAFERs.-This recipe
requires care to bring about the proper
results: Beat ne.quarter of cup Of
butter to a cream, add gradually one
cup OF graduated sugar; beat until
white and light, then add two table,
spoonfuls of cocoa, teaspoonful of va
nilla and one cup of -four. This batter
must be exceedingly stiff II you use
pastry flour, this will be quite sufficient;
if you use bread flour, you may have to
use little less. Grease the bottom Of
a good sized baking pan; spread the
mixture at the bottom of the pan as
thin as paper. Bake in moderately
quick oven, and while hot cut into
squares and roll on the pan. Now, this
is the part that practice only can make
perfect. They must be handled in
stantly or they will crack in rolling. IT
you wish to use them in small squares,
you will find it much easier. Simply
cut them on the pan, and with timber
knife loosen and put aside to cool.
THE USE OF CREAM Very few
housekeepers can realize the nutritive
value of cream, and understand its
superiority to any other solid fats, in
permitting the gastric juice to mix with
it in the most perfect manner, and in
this way aiding and Fastening digestion.
1t is invaluable in the case of invalids,
for it serves as the nutriment in very
available form. 1t is superior to but
ter, because it contains more volatile
oil than butter made from it. 1t is
frequently ordered by physicians for
persons consumptively inclined, for
those with feeble digestions, for aged
persons, and for those who suffer from
impaired circulation, cold feet, and who
feel chilly from want of nutriment.

Sometime.

[Can any of our readers give the name o
the author of this little poem2]
Some day when the winds are soft and the skies ar
clear,
And the fresh Tipped flowers are everywhere.
And the bird songs float on the balmy air,
Perchance III see
Ger the troubled waters CLEAN Of sail
And you will know that The boatman pale
Has come for me-
It may be at noon on a summers day,
Mid the heat of toll shall pass away,
And sweetly rest through the lvelong day
Forgetting all care.
And the sheaf shall drop from the reaper's hand
And lie unbound where the stubbes stand,
And therel be grief in the family band
shall not share.
Perchance when the sheaves are all gathered in,
And the corn is drawn to the waiting bin,
And the golden apples are stored within,
And the bright leaves fall
shall look my last ON the sunsets gold
And joyfully pass to the heavenly fold
At the Masters call.
1t may be at noon of winters night,
I'll slip from the darkness into the light,
And join with the angels clothed in white
On the other shore.
1t matters not where the place may be,
Or the time II the Savior waits for me

Religious Sentiment In the Army.

William Swinton, the famous war
correspondent and historian, relates this
anecdote of General Couch, the sue
cessor of Sumner, who, with the cour-
age of a lion and the tenderness of a
child, first commanded the Second
Army Corps; Never" said Swinton,
" shall forget how General Couch re-
piled to a question which put to him
as to whether he was ever afraid in
battle. 1t was on that dark December
day when the plains of Fredericksburg
were lit up with baleful fires, and the
placid severity of the general prompted
the question. | should strive in vain

Don't Get Chilly.

Do not allow yourself to feel "chilly."
1t may indicate circumstance or phys
ical condition, either of which can be
modifit by prompt attention. If you
are chilly from a draft, move away
from it, stop it off or put on more
clothes. If the GOODNESS arises from a
physical condition, you are probably
taking cold. Heat brick and sit with
your feet upon it until you are heated
through. This will do much to prevent
cold taking hold Of you.

SOLDIERS BUDGET.
Hetty McEwen.


This spirited poem describes an incident
II the occupation of Nashville, Tennessee,
n 1852
Hetty MCEwenl Hetty McEwenl
What were the angry rebels doing
That autumn day, in Nashville town.
They looked aloft, with oath and frown,
And saw the stars and stripes wave high
Against the blue of the summer sky;
Deep was the oath, and dark the frown,
And loud the shout Of " Tear 1t down"
For over Nashville, far and wide,
Rebel banners the breeze defed
Staining heaven with crimson bars;
Only the one old stripes ans stars"
Waved where autumn leaves were strewing,
Round the house of Hetty McEwen.
Hetty McEwen watched that day
Where her son on his death bedlay;
She heard the hoarse and angry cry
The blood of 10 ran high.
Out flashed her eye, her cheek grew warm,
Up rose her aged stately form;
From her window, with steadfast brow,
She looked upon the crowd below.
Eyes all ahame with angry fire
Flashed on her In defiant ire,
And once more the angry CALL
Tear down that flag, or the house SHAH fall"
Never a single inch quailed she;
Her answer rang out firm and free;
Under the roof where that flag flies,
Now my son on his death bed lies;
Born where that banner floated high,
Meath Its folds he shall surely die
Not for threats, nor yet for sueing,
Shall 1t fall" said Hetty McEwen.
The loyal heart and steadfast hand
Claimed respect from the traitor band;
The fiercest rebel quailed that day
Before the woman stern and gray.
They went in silence, one by one
Left her there with her dying son,
And left the old flag floating free
Ger the bravest in Tennessee,
To wave in loyal splendor there
Upon that treason. tainted air,
Until the rebel rule was Ger
And Nashville town was ours once more.
Came the day when Fort Donelson
Fell and the rebel reign was done
And into Nashville. Buell. then
Marched with hundred thousand men.
With waving flags and rolling drums.
Past the heroine's house he comes.
He checked his steed and barred his head;
Soldiers salute that flag" he said
"And cheer, boys, cheerl-gve three times tire
For the bravest woman in TENNESSEE"

In this tower he had his chapel. his bed

Montaigne preserved, without faint of
sanctimoniousness, a deep reverence for
religion, and died strong in faith. But like
Louis XI, when attending religious ser
vices in his chapel he always endeavored
to keep himself out of sight, and this he
generally managed to do.
In the vauIting near the entrance of the
tower is a small opening. communicating
with a narrow passage, by means of which
Montaigne could leave mis- bedroom and

GOLD IN MINNESOTA.
The Recent Discovery Not Far From the
Canadian Border.

The story of the discovery of gold on the
islands in Rainy lake, Minnesota, not far
from the Canadian border line does not
come as a surprise to old settlers of the
Red River valley, for nearly ten years
ago there was much talk among them of
new Ell Dorado in that region. No gold
was found, however, until August of this
year, when a miner washed out a pan of
1t on an island In Rainy lake about a mile
south of the Canadian line With fifteen
years experience as a miner in Colorado,
this prospector began an exploration of
the Rainy lake country last May, start
ing from Rat Portage as soon as the
ice was out of the Lake of the Woods.
His equipments were a canoe weighing 125
pounds, the common implements of a
proSpector heavy revolver and a hunt
ing knife. For weeks at a time he did
not meet a human being and was Obliged
to trust entirely to the instincts of an
explorer At one time he was completely
| lost in the wilderness, wandering blindly
from lake to lake, the face of that country
being a network of waerways. At the end
of the fortnight he came out on the Daw-
son route, which once extended from Port
Arthur far up into Manitoba. In old days
the route was used in conveying supplies
to the Hudson Bay company and also a
military post road. Then the portages
| from lake TO lake were carefully cleared
and on each portage were kept teams to
transfer the supplies The building of the
Canadian Pacific made the old trail use
| less and it is now abandoned BY this
time he was some distance from Rainy
lake. his destination. and many miles
north of the boundary line. but the Dawson
route started him in the right direction
again. With the aid of an Indian guide
he reached at last the south branch of
the lake and then followed along the
shore Finally, when he had covered
NEARLY half the distance on the shore line
he came upon the tale formation for which
he had been searching. In less than
twenty-four hours he found quartz rock.

gold discoveries of Minnesota from a
special agent who states that he is firmly

country, unfit for any other purpose. The
