Selection of Colors.

Our apparel may be either kind Or
cruel, according as we choose and COM
bine its colors, those in headgear being
most important. If one has a pale COM
plexion, the most trying tints are the
light grays and tans, which impart a
sallow, yellow tinge to the face. If,
however, one of these shades must be
chosen in the hat to match coat or
gown, the brim should be lined with
velvet in some becoming dark color.
Before your family lose their appetite
for potatoes occasionally omit them
from dinner and serve hot boiled rice
with the roast. The rice will be better
still If it is cooked nearly tender and
then put in the pan with the roast to
brown in the juices Of the meat.
Burns from steam and scalds should
be treated the same as those caused by
dry heat. For slight burn that simply
feddens the surface apply thick layer
of cooking soda wet to q paste. Cover
with bandage made of old cloth and
keep it wet with cold water. When the
pain subsidies, remove the soda dressing,
and if anything more is required use
vasehne.

This is a very popular breakfast dish
in various localities and is prepared as
follows: Soak tho kidney for three hours
in cold water, changing the water
whenever it becomes discolorcd-four
or five changes will usually be suff1-
cient Place the kidney on the fire in
cold water, and just as the water begins
to boil change it for fresh cold water.
Change the water also VIXEN it begins
to boil, and in the third water cook the
kidney slowly for an hour. This chang
ing of the water and tho previous soak
ing are necessary to remove the strong
taste peculiar to the meat. This part of
the work should be done the day before
the stew is to be eaten, and the cooked
kidney should be set away in a cool
place. When ready to prepare tho stew,
separate all the cords and veins from
tho meat, cut the lean part in small
pieces and stew as directed i'll tho pre-
ceding recipe, doubling all the quanti-
ties mentioned for a kidney that will
yield three cupfuls of meat.

ceive that in almost any other and more
worldly pursuits, even if only moderate
ly successful, they would be able to do
better from financial point Of view,
and yet the percentage of those who
abandon the calling to enter one in
which there is money to be made is SO
small as to be hardly in evidence at all.
If you cannot explain this, can. The
country ministers as class are men
whose lives are ordered according to
strict Interpretation of what they con-
ceive to be their duty. This, coupled
with trust in the powers above that Is
positively sublime, is what keeps them
at their posts. That their influence does
not make for good and for the better
ment Of their fellows is q proposition
that is not borne out by the facts. Con
sidered simply from a temporal view
point, leaving things spiritual cut Of
the question, the labors of the country
ministers in behalf Of morality, of right
living, of uprightness in business and Of
the gentler graces in everyday life ar.
worth to the community many time
more than the cost.
For 1t is in many remote communltle;
the minister who keeps alive the aspira
lions Of the entire population for thosl
things which make for refinement, fcr
education and for manners. 1t is the
ministers to whom the family troubles,
the financial tangles and the penitences
Of the entire neighborhood are carried.
If there is a bright young man Or clev-
er girl in his congregation who has as
pirations for the education of the schools
and the broader life of the wide, wide
world that looks so alluring to youthful
eyes, and that may be reached perhaps
through the college gate, it is the minis
ter who is consulted. When there is Sc
rious sickness, the minister is called in,
and when there is death it is he who
attends the last services over the body
Of the departed one, and who comforts
the living. When there are marry

How to Make Nut Bars.

Peanuts, almonds, English walnuts
or pecans may be used for this candy
Prepare the nuts by removing the inner
covering and chopping them. Grease the
bottom and sides of broad shallow tin
pan with fresh butter and put the nuts
into it, spreading them evenly. Put
pound of granulated sugar, with half
q teacup of water and pinch of cream
Of tartar, into kettle and boil until
thick, but not too brittle. Pour the strip
over the nuts and set aside to cool.
When slightly stiff, mark off into wide
bars with sharp knife, and let stand
several days, when it will become soft
and delicious.

country ministers, If you have at any
time spoken of these men as working

Of circumstances they have to receive

do not mean to assert that all coun-

imperfect. If they were not, they would
not be human, and so would not be suit

fellowmen Of the tidings of the gospel,
the reception of which they and their
supporters believe will bring peace to
every troubled soul and eventually

Quade has long been actively identified
with Tammany, but is practically un-
known outside Of that organization. He

When there is wedding, the country
minister is joyful. 1t is quite possible
that there is some element of selfishness
In his joy, for after the ceremony comes
the fee, and though ministers do not sub
sist on fees alone they form a not to be
lightly regarded fraction of the total
yearly income. 1t is small wonder if
some country ministers whose salaries
are small occasionally preach from the
text, 1T is not good for man to be
alone" nor that some ministers are
prone to encourage the extreme develop
ment of the feminine trait of match
making i'll their own worthy spouscs.
1t will be readily understood by the
discerning reader that the accomplished
matchmaker who is the wife of a coun-
try minister may, by slzillful use of her
talents, help materially in keeping the
flour barrel filled. 1t must be stated,
however, while we are upon the subject
of wedding fees, that they sometimes
fall short Of expectations. To look for

Hints Concerning Corsets-Two Charming
Tea Jackets-The Latest Whim.
Rodin, the great French sculptor, adj
mires the figure which generations of
corset wearing have produced in wom-
an. Sarah Grand says that ''tho waist
is an infallible index to the moral worth
of woman. Very little Of the latter
survives the pressure Of a frightened cor
set.' Well, there is comparatively lit
tie tight lacing nowadays. An abnor-
mally long-not a tight-waist is what
is cultivated. 1t is pity fashionable
women do nOttakG more interest in statu
airy. They would then realize that too
long waist is the most hideous thing
there is. The proportions of well built
woman of average height are: Bust,
"a; waist, "a; hips, IS inches.
The French corset is not becoming to
English women. 1t makes the figure be-
tween the bust and waist look so square
and long. Shot coutille, it seems, is the
newest material for stays. The kind of
stays which make ones figure look less
"staysy' than any other kind are made
chiefly Of a perforated elastic material
which gives with every movement of the
figure. They are just the thing to wear
with tea gown. Good stays are cXpen
sive, but cheap ones, like cheap gloves,
are false economy.
The mention of tea gowns brings to
mind novel French tea jacket i'll strip

describing this jacket it may be we'll to

some people are so fond of calling fin de
siecle) Oh discovering that the damage
to her home belongings has been greater
than the net result of the donation party.
The personal popularity of the minister
is pretty accurately gagged by the size
Of his donation, and when it dwindles
he might about as we'll make up his
mind that his usefulness is thing of
the past in that neighborhood, and it is
time for him to go a-candidating. If he
be popular with his church and the
worlds people, too, his donations will
be satisfactory and the attendance SO
large that the parties will be held in
the town hall, where, though there
can be no dancing at donation, there
is room a-plenty for those curious
games known as SNAP and catch EN-, :"
"ncedle's eye" and ''pillows. -
1t is the going a-candidating that
tries the soul of tho country minister.
Maybe lie has offended some member Of
his church by an allusion to the vice of
stingines&, OF perchance he has rcproved
q deacon's daughter for "sparkin her
best fellow right i'll meetin," possibly
the youthful exuberance of her compan-
ion; i'll the current couplet the minister's

the conference, even though they have
to move every two or three years.
1t often happens that the country min
lister who has knowledge of some meth
cd of earning money will seek to add to
his slender il@omc hy labor Of some
sort. To really rural pastors there are
few opportunities for the getting Of en-
ployment in any intellectual pursuit.

BORDENTOWN'S MYSTERY.
Some New Features Which Only Compli-
cate the Case.

cate the ease.
BoRDENTowN, May 25--Lizzie Hollo-
way, the young girl who was assaulted
here while sleeping in her ROOM is dead.
A partial statement was made by her to
Mayor Hudson in which she said that
William Massey, who had boarded with
her family for four years, committed the
assault. A hammer handle was found in
the room occupied by Massey. who will be
held to answer the charge Of NJ urder.
By the autopsy performed here Z mo-
tive fer the murder CT the girl was discov-
cred. The skull was found to have been
fractured, and death had resulted from the
blow which the girl had received. A fur
thcr examination revealed the fact that
the girl was in a delicate condition and
that she had been that way for some time.
So far the police have not been able to
find any evidences of the guilt of William
Massey, whom they arrested in connection
with the case. The case itself is q very
mysterious one, and there are now num-
Der of conflicting theories i'll regard to it.
Massey, on examination by the police au-
thoritias stated that he was in the house
at the time the assault was committed,
but that he had seen no one or had met
no one when he ran to the assistance of
the girl.
The police, after a close investigation,
have arrived at the conclusion that it
would be impossible for any one to have
committed the murder without being be-
spattered with blood. A search of the pris-
oner's room in the Holloway House led to
the discovery Of nothing but a handle of q
hammer, to which they attach no impor-
lance. They believe that if they can find
the man who is responsible for the ruin
of tke4 girl they will have the man who
committed the murder.

four men in Tammany Hall the situa-
ton is full of potential possibilities.
They are John McQuade, chairman of
Tammany's finance committee; Mayor

tin, each one OF whom hopes in his heart

It is not surprising that there should

with it the Craftsmanship of the finance
committee of Tammany Hall, fiduciary
position without an equal in the civil

todian of funds aggregating millions, OF
which he keeps no accounts whatever,
and for which he is responsible to no
one. To a man who loves political
power, too, the position is eminently de-
sirable.
