CREAM CHICKEN.

The first dish prepared was cream
chicken. What was necessary for this
dish was one chicken, two pairs of
sweetbreads, two and q half table,
spoons of flour sifted, two tablespoons
of butter, one tablespoon of salt, half
spoon of celery sauce. one saltspoon
of pepper and one pint of cream.
The chicken required'to be boiled for
two hours, the same length of time
was required to boil the sweetbreads.
The sweetbreads, after being cooked
sufficiently, were put in cold water and
the outside skin and gristle removed.
The cook had already prepared the in
gradients for the cream chicken. The
chicken and sweetbreads were chopped
or ground fine. She then put the but
ter ina pan; as soon as it melted, she
addedthe flour. The seasoning was
then put in and all stirred and allowed
to cook until thick, when the cream
was added. The chicken and sweet
breads we're then stirred in this sauce
and allowed to cook about minute. -

The nIere money oetter.

There is not in the world more
ignoble character than the mere
money getting American, lnsensible to
every duty, regardless of every prin-
ciple, bent only on amassing fortune,
and putting his fortune only to the
basest uses-whether these uses be
to speculate in stocks and wreck rail
roads himself. or TO allow his son to
lead life of foolish and expensive
ldleness and gross debauchery, or to
purchase some scoundrel of high social
position, foreign or native, for his
daughter Such a man is only the
more dangerous il he occasionally does
some deed like founding a college or
cndowing a church, which makes
those good people who are also foolish
forget his real iniquity.
These men are equally careless Of
the workingmen, whom they Cypress,
and Of the State, whose existence they
lmperil. There are not very many
of them, but there is q very great num-
Der of men who approach more or
less closely to the type, and just in so
far as they do so approach, they are
curse to the country. The man who
is content TO let politics so from bad
to worse, testing at the corruption of
politicians, the man who is content to
see the maladministration of justice
without an immediate and resolute
effort to reform it, is Sinking his duty,
and is preparing the way for infinite
woe in the future.
Hard, brutal indifference to the right,
and an equally brutal shortsightedness
as to the inevitable results of corrup-
ton and injustice, are baleful beyond
measure; and yet they are characters
tic of great many Americans who
consider themselves perfectly respect
able, and who are considered thriving,
prosperous men by their easy-going
fellow-citizens. = Theodore Roosevelt,
in The Forum.

PLANK sHAD AT HOME.

This is the way woman who knows
how "planks" shad in her oven. Take
a long, narrow baking pan aud put it
on the stove with piece of beef suet
to try out slowly. Split Your roe shad
as for broiling, dry it well outside and
in with a clean white cloth, rubit with
lots of salt and after rubbing the pan
with the melting suet lay the fish, skin
side up, in tho bottom and set it in
hot oven. Let it brown and sizzle till
it is pulled in tiny blisters all over the
top and then you can be pretty sure it
is done. Slide it out ON hot platter
and serve garnished with lemon and
parsley. Cooked in this way all the
rich juices of the fish are preserved
and there is not SO much odor through
the house. Washington Star.

The Dogs Bark Has Become More Elk.
pressive as His Culture Advanced.
The most curious limitations which
we find in dogs is as TO the measure of
expression to which they have at.
tanned. Among the savage forefathers
Of the modern dog the characteristics
OF all their utterances was, to great
extent Involuntary, and once begun
tho cutlery was continued in a me
chanical manner.
The effect Of advancing culture on
the dog, however, has been gradually
to decrease this ancient undifferenu-
nted mode of expression by bowling
and yelplng, and to replace 1t by the
much more speech-llke bark, says q
writer In Scribner's Magazine. There
Is some doubt whether dogs possessed
by savages have the power of uttering
the sharp, specialized note which is so
characteristic of the civilized form OF
their species.
1t Is clear, however, that If they have
the power of thus expressing them
selves they use it but rarely. On the
other hand, our high-bred dogs have to
d great extent lost the power to express
themselves In the ancient way. Many
of our breeds appear to have become
Incapable of ululating. There is no
doubt but the change in the mode of ex
preston greatly increases the capacity
of our dogs to set forth their states of
mind.
II we catch high-bred dog-one with
a wide range of sensibilities which we
may may find in breeds which have
long been closely associated with man
we may readily note five or six va
rietles Of sound in the bark, each of
which Is clearly related to q certain
state of mind. That Of welcome, of
fear, Of rage, of doubt, and Of pure fun
are almost always perfectly distinct to
the educated ear and this, although
the observer may not be acquainted
with the creature. If he knows him
well he may be able to distinguish vari-
GUS other intonatlons-those which ex.
press Impotence, and even an element
of sorrow. This last note verges to
ward howl.

ICING FOR CAKE.

To emboss: After the frosting is
dry, mark any design with pencil
and follow with the same kind of
frosting pressed through funnel
made of stiff letter paper, though if
the frosting is not firm enough to
stand, add little sugar and acid. A
grape vine with drops of frosting or
small balls of candy for grapes looks
nice. Cut shapes of hearts, stars, an
chors, Masonic emhiems, ETC., out OF
paper, lay them on the cake, mark the
outline and emboss; or, instead OF
enclosing, arrange, small fancy cam
dies, placed at regular spaces, either
inside or out, or the inside filled en-
tirely with seed candy is effective. Be-
fore the frosting hardens, sprinkling
crystals of rock candy is another way
to decorate. This is simple and by
lamp light quite brilliant. Frosting
