How to Make. HrpadatickA.

Mrs. Rorer's formula for making
breadsticks says Pour half pint of
boiling water into half a pint of milk.
Add teaspoonful of warm water.
Now stir in sufficient whole-wheat
-four to make a stiff dough. Turn it
out on the board, knead until soft and
elastic and free from sticlsi2ess. Place
in a bowl, brush the top lightly with
butter. and stand aside for three hours.
Then turn out on the hoard, cut off a
small portion and roll il out under the
hands about ten inches long and twice
the thickness OF lead pencil. Place
in creased pans, stand aside one hour,
and bake in quick oven ten minutes.
Special pans come for these sticks, but
they are not necessary, as they will
bake in any bread pan.

the winter bouquet. Now it Is almost
q rarity. Then there are several colors
of acroclinums, very graceful in out.
line. The amobiums, nelichrysum or
eternal flowers, the rhodanthes, xeran-
themums or straw flowers, all were
common garden plants few years ago.
Drying these flowers consists simply
in cutting Mt the proper time, which is
when in full bloom and before seeds
have formed. Where practicable the
whole plant may be cut or pulled and
hung bottom up in a partially darkened
room or shed. Usually, however, the
flowers come ont at different times
and must be cat as ready, leaving
on as much stem as possible.
Tie in punches and hang up. The
immcrtellcs imported in such quan.
titles from France and Germany,
originally yellow, but now to be
had in various coiors, are charming
herbaceous plants. Unfortunately they
are not hardy with US. There are,
however, several natives Of the same
genus, guaphaliums, in English, cud-
weed or common everlasting, which
may be preserved in similar manner.
There are also the purple cudweeds
and the pearly everlastings, often
found in dry, gravelly or sandy soils,
which may bs had for the gathering.
All the work necessary is to hang up
in the spare room until the whole col
lection is harvested or the material is
wanted for making the winter bou-
quet.
As flowers in themselves will have
somewhat stiff appearance alone,
dried grasses of various kinds will be
found very useful. Hang bottom up
to dry. as directed for flowers. for the
reason that all plants when first cut
wilt and are unable to hold their parts
erect. They soon become rigid and
when fully dried have a quite natural
appearance.
If flowers are allowed to even par
TALLY ripen seed, they will fall to
pieces when taken into 4 warm room.
Among the best grasses are foxtail,
cat-tails, bcnts, feather grass and nu-
merous marsh grasses and sedgcs..
The many brizas OF qualsing grasses
are all well known, Even wheat, rye
and oats, If collected early enough, are
quite desirable, as are also a number of
summer grasses.-Edgar Sanders, in

best Of his ability, and in response to
requests explained as well as he could
the workings of the government of the
greatest republic on earth. But he was
anxious TO get away to his friends and
also to solve the riddle of his wonder
full reception. At last he met an old
friend, whose first greeting was the
German for: "Why, Felter, what sort
of a racket are you playing on them?"
Felter asked for an explanation, pro-
Tossing to be in the dark as to the
meaning Of his friends inquiry. He
explained: Don't you know that these
people think you are a United States
senator? The steamship people an
nounced the arrival of Senator Felter,
and our townsmen have attempted to
receive you with the honor which they
consider due your station" This was
enough for Felter. In half an hour he
left the town, and he never reentered
it. When he had concluded his visit he
started for home by another line of
steamers and paid his fare like gentle
man.
