Minced Veal and Eggs.

Take some remnants of roast or braized veal, trim off all brown parts and mince it very finely. Fry finely chopped onion to light brown in some butter; add a large pinch of four, little stock, and the minced veal, with chopped parsley, pepper, salt and nutmeg to taste. Mix well and let the mince gradually get hot; lastly add a few drops of lemon juice. Serve with sippets of bread fried in butter, and the poached eggs on top.

IN WOMAN'S BEHALF.
MEDICAL STUDIES FOR WOMEN.
Why Mothers Should Know Something of
 the Rules of Heultb

'S As"tSo oh ihtuian.
 If had only known few of the facts about simple medical practice" |" said a young mother, Il might have saved myself months of suffering and
 an enormous doctors bill. But l was
 brought up to think that girls should
 not know about such things and to send for the doctor whenever anything hap pened. Indeed, the stereotyped phrase:
 Send for the doctor at once,' is tackled on to all directions and advice of all
 sorts wherever one may find it I see
 no necessity whatever for this everlast-
 ing racing after physician, when little
 common-sense on the part of the mother
 of the family would set everything right and save money and misery as
 well as time and trouble. l think every
 woman should have at least limited
 course in simple medicine and surgery.
 Any girl who is old enough to marry
 and assume the duties and responsibil-
 ities of that relation is old enough to
 understand the fundamental rules of
 health, and should be expected to
 know what to do in ordinary emer- l gencies. Instead of this, the idea | is carried that she must under all cir
 cumstances call in doctor and follow
 his advice, with a goodly bill to pay
 afterward Of course, doctors have to
 live, and it is only natural that they should discourage household medica- tiOn. All the same, there ought to be young mothers school of medica-
 tion, in which physiology, hygiene and | the symptoms of the more ordinary 1 diseases could be so explained and demonstrated that the woman would know what to do in case of sudden ill-
 ness or accident It is not reasonab ble
 to say that such knowledge would in 1 any way prove disastrous The more | familiar one becomes with disease and 1 its indications, the more readily one
 can form an idea of the necessities of
 the case. No rational person would, of course, advocate neglecting those | who are sick. In most cases neglect | comes from ignorance of the fact that medical assistance is required. Some l one is ailing, but in the absence
 of clearly defined knowledge of the
 requirements of the situation, the disease is allowed to run on un- til it assumes some serious phase. If the father or mother under stood enough of existing condi- tions to realize there was danger ahead,
 many lives might be saved by the time ly application of suitable remedies It is, therefore urged, and with great show of reason, that very much more attention to everyday medical study
 be given Any person of average in telligence can readily master the pri- mary rules of the profession and can educate the eye and perceptions to such an extent that the symptoms of disease may be detected at once
 "Having gone that far, practical,
 everyday observations will supple
 ment the knowledge already acquired
 and enable the parents to understand
 when the necessity for calling in medi- cal counsel exists. It is often the case that for lack of this knowledge disease gets such a hold on the patient that all the skill of the best practitioner is powerless to combat it. ."-N. Y. Ledger.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The Capital
City IS at all times beautiful, but 1t is
never more attractive than at this sea-
son OF the year. It is true that congress is
not IN session, and hence one of the fea-
lures OF interest is temporarily missing,
but all the other branches Of the govern
mental service are here at work and may
be seen by the tourist or the casual Wis
itor. Of course the principal point of
interest to all visitors at the capital is
the White House. It is the first place
visited by every American citizen who
comes to the capital. The Building is

With the generality Of soft wooded
plants, such as geraniuins, abutilons,

THE BRANCH, THE SLIP AND CALLUS ROOT.
heas, etc., it is found that roots are emit
ted as well if the cutting is squared
that is, trimmed crosswise at the bottom
with sharp knife at any place between
joints, yet with the generality of plants
it is undoubtedly safe to square them
just below and close to joint, as shown
in the engraving. This, with trimming
away the leaves Of such lower joint, as
illustrated, and in the case Of large leaves
reducing the remaining lower ones some
whaS by clipping off the ends is all that
is required to fit the cutting for the sand.
For a medium in which to root cut
tings clean sand is preferred to any
other material. The quickest results in
roofing slips are obtained when the sand
into which they are set is kept some is
degrees warmer than the atmosphere
above. Where the means of providing
bottom heat are not at hand, then cut
tings can be rooted, If not so quickly,
yet nearly as well in an ordinary pot or
box filed with sand. A condition essen
tial to success in any case is that the
sand be well drained to obviate any ex-
cess of moisture. The cuttings should be
inserted in the sand from half to an inch
or moro deep, according to their size,
firming the sand closely about them
afterward. They should be sprinkled
over the tops several times daily, with a
view to keeping the sand moderately
wet at all times and the atmosphere
somewhat moist.
The real roots are preceded by forma-
ton at the end of the cutting known as
callus, the presence of which indicates a
favorable state for roofing, especially
while such callus is clean and white. AS
soon as the roots appear pot the slips in
light, fertile soil, and it is an advantage
to use rather small pots at first, shifting
into larger ones after the roots have
pretty well occupied the new element.

A MODERN CRUSADE.
New Movement to Recover the
Sepulcher Of Christ.

A new crusade for the rescue of the
sepulcher of Christ and all the other
holy places in Jerusalem from the grasp
Of the unbeliever is now being preached
by the Catholic church. The pope has
given it his sanction, and the Army of
the Holy. Cross is organizing throughout
all Catholic Christendom. Not with
sword and lance, however, will it's great
battles be fought, nor with the modern
EARNS of precision" that have taken the
place of those ancient accouterments Of
the soldiers of Godfrey de Bouillon.
Neither will there be clash Of arms and
bloodshed, nor boom of cannon and pow
der smoke. No armed mass Of moving
men will attack the infdel in his strong
holds; neither will hungry hordes of
zealots attempt the impossible task of
crossing hostile country in pursuit of
chimerical but sublime idea.
Children may join the new crusade
as they joined that preached by the
youthful Stephen in France and the
young Nicholas in Germany and as
thousands of them have no doubt
joined in spirit the gayly panoplied
throngs that followed Frederick of Bar
barossa, Richard Of the Lion Heart or
st. Louis when they read the doings
of those doughty heroes in the chronicles
of olden days. And in joining the now
crusade the children need not dread the
dangers of shipwreck and the horrors of
Saracen slavery, to which their youthful
prototypes were condemned, nor the
sometimes unpleasant results of the gal
liant hand to hand encounters so often
engaged in by their favorite heroes.

1 Other objects of immediate interest to
visitors here are the various depart
ments where the routine business of the
government is conducted. The build
ings are all large and imposing, and
there is much to be seen, especially in
the postofice, the patent Office and the
war and navy departments. The secre-
taries are seldom accessible to the visit

on any day Of the week and inspect the
models in the patent Office, view the
curios in the dead letter Office or gaze
upon the miniature ships and accouter-

apart for the army and navy. Under
the same rules and regulations as the

Poultry Manure.

Poultry droppings, like that from other
farm stock, varies in value according to
the kind or amount of food consumed,
and especially in the treatment given to
the droppings. If largely mixed with
litter, ashes, ETC., or is very wet, poultry
manure has lost much of its ammonia
and is of less value than where the accu-
mutation has been kept dry and mixed
with just enough dry soil to act as an
absorbent. Greiner says the buyer can
afford to pay 20 to s5 cents per hundred
pounds for well kept poultry manure.
Poultry manure is rich in available. nj
trogen and is usually kept separate from
stable manure to apply as special fer
tilizer to such garden crops as onions,
celery plants, spinach, etc. Mixed with
twice its bulk of dry loamf and applied
evenly it will do no harra to seeds or
plants. Greiner prefers to use it as top
dressing in the garden. and this is ia
vorite plan with many other gardeners.
