THE HOME COMFORT RANGE.

The manufacturers of the Home Con- fort Range, who have been doing busi- ness since 1864, have an advertisement in another column. From what we see in our exchanges the salesmen and repre- sentatives of this company are honorable in their dealings with the people and the ranges give the best of satisfaction. The Otsego Farmer of June l, says the editor of that paper has written to sev- eral parties who have been using the ranges several years, and they all speak iu the highest terms of the desirability and convenience of the range. The fact that the company have been doing busi- ness so many years and have rating of more than $1,000,000 speaks we'll for themselves. The Wrought Iron Range Company received six highest premium. on "Home Comfort" goods exhibited al the Worlds Columbian Exhibition From the above recommendation the public cannot fail to be we'll satisfied with the range and need not fear to deal with the representatives of the Wrought Iron Range Company.-[The Delaware Republican.

DELIGHTFUL LECTURE IN PROSPECT. The ladies of the Long Hill Methodist church have planned an entertainment of unusual interest, to be held in their church. Tuesday evening, May 21. It will consist of lecture on the Hawaii an Islands by Mrs G. A. Shelton. Dr and Mrs Shelton spent last summer on those islands, which are attracting so much attention in commercial and re- ligious circles at the present time, and Mrs Shelton's description of what they saw and heard there will doubtless be a rare treat for those who are priv ileged to hear it. A choice collection of curios from that country will also be exhibited. Should Tuesday evening prove to be very stormy the entertain ment will be held on Wednesday even- ing. The lecture will begin at 7.45. The admission will be 20 cents, children 10 cents.

The chatting dish is the fashion of the

a practical institution of the cuisine, in
even the humblest household.
Five years ago the average individual

the light and economical housekeeper
Like all new things this popular uten

said that in the early Grecian days the
women cooked in Il sort of a pan, be
neath which burned a pot of oil, and
the children of Israel made toothsome

manner
1t was a common utensil with the
Assyrians and-the Phnnicians, accord,
ing to history, and from the excavation
of Pompeii we learn that the early Ro.
mans used it extensively, the dishes
and lamps being made of bronze, with
much enrichment after the fashion of
the age. The lamps were filed with
olive oil, which was smokeless and had
not unpleasant odor.

Here are some savory recipes, easily
made by the merest novice in any ordi

First of all, the Welsh rarebit, which
requires for four people pound and a
half of cheese-cream cheese in no way
strong-a tablespoonful of butter, tea
spoonful of dry mustard, pinch of
salt, sprinkling of cayenne, two eggs
beaten well, and half pint of clear ale,
together with about eight slices of dry
toast. Put the butter into the chatting
dish; when nearly melted add the
cheese cut fine, the mustard, salt and
cayenne; stir constantly, and add the
eggs when the cheese is nearly melted,
and the ale slowly, to prevent burning.
Serve hot on the toast. Some people
prefer cream in place of the ale, and
the eggs may be omitted, although the
rarebit is said to be less indigestible
with them.
-.-Beefsteak la mode: Take pound

two tablespoonfuls of butter, three
slices of lemon, gill of stock or gill
of port wine. Put the butter in the
