Before boiling smoked ham soak It

One of the errors of womankind,
particularly the busy housewife, is the
depriving herself of plenty of fresh air
and sunshine.
With nice, clear fire five minutes
is sufficient time for broiling beef

turned several times during the pro-

Wash your fannels when the sun

French toast is delectable item Of
the breakfast menu. It is prepared
in the following way: Beat two eggs
to froth, add half cup of milk and
in this dip slices Of stale white bread;
brown in butter and serve hot with
maple syrup.
For salmon patties, served in china
cases, take half a can of salmon, fake,
and mix with half pint of cream

Cover with water and cook till you can

one pint of granulated sugar; boil ten
minutes, very fast, and it is ready to
pour into glasses.
The outside fat of mutton and lamb
should be shaved away, after it is
cooked and before it coola, if the
strong taste that is peculiar to this
meat is not liked. It is the oil of the
wool, whose roots are in this heshy

flavor.
A sign of advancing age almost as in
evitable as the crease in the neck is
the gradual reoeding of the gums from
the teeth. To counteract this ten.
dency an astripgent tooth wash should
be occasionally used. The teeth should,
moreover, be brushed crosswise and
down rather than up.
Apple float is most appetizing. It
should be made of tart apples. After
they are stewed thoroughly press them

Every careful housekeeper has ON

King Lobengula's House.

OF Lobengula's house nothing but a
low heap of bricks remains. 1t is very pa
thetic to see the great deserted kraal, once
SO populous and now tenanted only by a
few screaming plovers flying round and
round over 1t. One or two miserable look

grubbing for few glass beads. Far away

of the people engaged in the war.
The Matabili seem absolutely quiet and
have no sense of the ignominy of defeat.
But their insolcnce before the war is al
most beyond belief They would enter an
Englishman's wagon, unbidden, pull the
book he was reading out of his hand and
throw it on the floor again and again, spit
into his water bottle, snatch off his hat,
and il he tried to recover it chuck knob
kerrie CLUB or knotted stick under his
chin SO as almost to shatter his teeth.
These insults had to be borne in silence,
as resistance would only have ended in
murder by overwhelming numbers. But
the forbearance and self restraints of the
white men when their turn came seem to
have been marvellous after such provoca-
tion.-National Review.

Tho Willy Plumber.

The following story is hardly credible
especially as it is laid out not far from
Evanston: 1t is said that one of the water
pipes was shut off to allow some repairs to
be made. Immediately some Of the fam
lilies supplied by that pipe imagined that
the house pipes were stopped up, so they
sent for plumber As soon as he received
the first call the plumber Investigated and
learned that the water would be turned
into the pipes again in about three hours.
During that three hours he received
seven calls and went to seven houses,
where he made a great deal of noise ham
mering on the pipes. AT each place he told
the family not to trifle with faucets while
he was away.
After the water had been turned into
the pipes he revisited the houses, did some
more mystifying work and succeeded in in
ducing water to run from the faucets.
Then he collected seven large bills for
repairs, and his victims were none the
wiser. Such is the estory.-Chicago Record.

ELECTRIC FIRE ALARMS.
Their Advantage In the Time When I'm
mediate Help Ii Most Needed.

The first few moments after the out
break of fire is the critical time in deeid-
ing whether or not it can be got under
control, and upon the prompt arrival of
the apparatus often depends the salvation
or the destruction Of the entire plant
While watchman may be thoroughly con-
scientious and alert and do everything in
his power under the trying circumstances
which confront him the appliances ut
hand are necessarily limited, and one man
Is seldom enough for the emergency. If,
after doing all he can, he finds the fire too
much for him to handle and must then
leave it to send In an alarm, much valuable
time Is lost, and when the apparatus final
ly arrives the blaze has obtained vantage
ground which often means the destruction
OF the property.
With the splendidly developed electric
fire alarm systems which are on the mar
kct ut the present day, affording every pos
sible means of protection and at the same
time reducing the insurance premiums
very materially, it seems decidedly short
sighted policy to pass them by and still de-
pend on the by no means infallible vigil
lance Of n human machine, which, however
good it may be- still has weaknesses which
the other Is not heir to.
Tho automatic fire alarm companies
: have made immense strides in the i'm
provcment Of their systems during the past
few years, and as their business has in
creased through the gradual appreciation
of its merits they have kept abreast of the
requirements presented and meet them at
every point. The insurance companies
have not been slow to recognize the addi-
tional protection to themselves as well as
to tho manufacturers, and have offered in
ducements in the shape of reduced pre-
miums on plants so equipped.
The manufacturer whose plant is de-
stroyed by fire, even though he be insured,
suffers loss which can hardly be estimat-
ed at the time, and from which it may
take him years to recover, and though it Is
q popularity of human nature to look on
such contingency as applicable to every
body but himself the sensible man is the
one who leaves no dangeeeels point I'M
guarded, especially against so ruthless an
enemy as Electrical Review.

The Deep Breath Habit.

Cultivate the habit Of breathing through
the nose and taking deep breaths. If this
habit was universal, there is little doubt
that pulmonary affections would be de-
creased one-half. An English physician
calls attention to the fact that deep and
forced respiration will keep the entire body
in glow in the coldest weather, no mat
ter how thinly one may be clad. He was
himself half frozen to death one night
and began taking deep breaths and keep
ing the air in his lungs as long as possible.
Tho result was that he was thoroughly
comfortable in few minutes. The deep
respirations, he says, stimulate the blood
currents by direct muscular exertion and
cause the entire system to become pervad-
ed with the rapidly generated heat.-Phil.

MANHOOD.

Not till life's heat has cooled,
The headlong rush slowed 10 quiet pace.
And every purblind passion that had ruled
Our noisier years at last,
Spurs rs in vain, and wea-y OF the race,
We care no more who loses or who wins
All, not till all the best Of life seems past
The best Of life begins.
To toll for only fame.
Hand clappings and the tickle gusts Of praise,
For place or power or gold TO gid name
Above the grave whereto
All paths will bring u.s. were to lose our days
We, on whose ears youths passing bell ha:
tolled,
In blowing bubbles, even as children do,
Forgetting we grow old.
But the world widens when
Such hope Of trivial gain that ruled US lies
Broken among our childhood g toys, for then
We win to self control!
And mail ourselves in manhood, and there rise
Upon as from the vast and windless height
Those clearer thoughts that are unto the soul
What stars arc to the night.
