a Biood-Coiored Rose.

The so-called blood rose" is be-
lieycd to be indigenous to a small
area of country in Jefferson county,
Florida. The original bush, which
grows on the Grant homestead, near
the Aucella river, in the county and
State mentioned above, is still strong
and vigorous, and has leaves of Il
light glossy green. The petals Of the
flower curve slightly inward, and are
of the exact color Of bright, healthy
human blood. The odor of the flower
is said to be pungent and sickening
in a marked degree. One of the most
peculiar facts concerning the flower
is that the dew which drops from it
is of a bright pink color, a character
istic unknown in other flowers, no
odds how bri liant the colors.
In Jefferson county it is known as
the Grant rose" and its origin is
one of the mysteries of nature. Its
entire habitat is only in an area OF
five miles in diameter st. Louis
Republic.

Cost of a Pair of Shoes.

A Haverhill, Mass, shoeworko1
reasons it out that "a pair of ladys
medium kid boots costs, as they
leave the factory, about 81. After
passing through the hands
Of the middlemen, jobbcrs,
wholesalers, retailers, and other cor
nerers and grabbers, the man OF
woman at the other end of the line
buys them at 50; the consumer thus
pays 81 for commodity worth 81.
The labor cost of these shoes is
about twenty-five cents; the other
seventy-fve cents represents stock,
profit, risk, insurance, superintend-
ence, etc, so that the 81 which the
manufacturer gets, covers the whole
cost, except the expense of passing
the shoes along to the wearer.- De-

The Kings Cook.

The King of sweden popped in the

of the sailors to he their guest which
of course, they consented to. Sud
denly his Majesty exclaimed to his
chamberlain: "Why, look here, here's

such soup as this at my table. "
After this the King went into the
Kitchen and interviewed the cook.
This diplomatic proceeding ended by
the COOK being taken into the kings

TIE SAUSAGE,
One ef ths D~intiest and Moss Delicious


| Forms
Breakfast sausage as it commonly
appears in our markets is a very
coarse article, and has well earned
its reputation for doubtful ingredi-
ents Even where the meat used is
without doubt pork, the poorest cut:
and pieces, which would not be con
s:dcred fit for any other purpose, are
ground into sausages 1t Is a com
mon thing for butchers with an eye
to economy to use up their tainted
rork in this way. There are certain
farms, it is true, which furnish sau-
sages that are without suspicion;
but the price charged is about double
what the sausages would cost when
made at home. 1t no more trouble,
II there is a good meat-chopper In
the house, to make them at home
than it is to make croquettes or
hash. The meat-chopper, moreover,
is very useful utensil for other pur-
poses-chopping croquettes and meat
for salads and hashes; and 1t Is es-
pecially valuable for chopping raw
meats for soups These ought to be
chopped in order to extract the full
value of the juices Such meat
chopper for family use will cost about
$3.50 A weeks supply Of sausage
meat can be easily made at once.
When properly packed in a broad
mouthed jar, with layer Of lard on
top, it will keep perfectly In cold
place; but it should be made as often
as once week to be in perfection.
A simple rule for sausage meat
calls for seven and a half pounds OF
lean pork (Or sometimes, "for @
change" half lean yeaD: two and a
half pounds Of fat pork, three ounces
Of salt, half an ounce OF summer
savory, three-quarters Of an ounce Of
sage, and an ounce Of ground pepper
Chop the meat thoroughly, add the
seasoning mix in with the hands,
and chop again, Sausage meat like
this is much better than when it Is
packed in little cases, as it usually is
in the butchers shops.
The ordinary way Of frying sausages
is not the best way Of cooking them.
A far better one is to put them in
the oven on an ordinary baking tin,
turning them from one side to an
other until they are brown on both
sides In hot oven they will cook
in this way in ten or fifteen minutes.
If they are in cases they should be
picked thoroughly to prevent them
from bursting under the heat. When
sausage meat is used cut 1t into
squares or form II into round cakes,
about three-quarters Of an inch thick,
and let it cook in the same way. The
French use The richest Spanish and
Madeira sauces with sausages. A
little chopped onion, in the proper
tion CT a tablespoonful to a pound of
eaus0ge meat. may be Drowned and
sprinkled over the sausageS just be-
fore they arr put in the oven. If tho
bausages are then served with rich,
brown sauce and a sprinkling Of
minced parsley for a garnish, they
will be very delicate dish for break
fast.

CHAPTER Y

It took three days more to enlist the
men necessary to fill the ranks of the
Shenandoah guards, as the company
called itself, and while awaiting orders
from Richmond an election of officers
was held. Only few of the volunteers
were surprised at Royal Kenton's en-
listment. They were men who had but
one political beiief-state rights. They
were not looking beyond it to the south
ern confederacy, but had enlisted and
were going to the front to fight for Vir-
ginia. Why shouldn t he fight for his
adopted state? So argued the captain,
SO argued the rank and file and many
citizens OF the town, and, but for Duke
Wyle. Kenton would have been elected
second lieutenant of the company. When
no saw how things were going. he called
Steve Brayton aside and said:
Look here, Steve, You fellows are as
blind as young kittens. If that Yankee
hadn't signed the roll. what would have
happened to him!'

rail!' replied Steve.

as restraint, and the demeanor of the

pointed and chagrined. In another he
was encouraged and enthusiastic.
II can wait" he said to himself as
he walked down street. when the
news comes back here that Kenton has
deserted to the enemy, shall have the
field all to myself"
The reception of Royal Kenton half
an hour later may not have been more
cordial, but his visit was more prolong-
ed, and he appeared to CLEAN more COM
fort from it. When the act of his nom
election to position was incidentally re-
ferred to, he said:
~ did not seek for any position. In

decline, should have remained in the
