HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Parsnip Fritters -Scrape and boil
tender, rub through colander to get
rid of the tough and stringy portions,
beat in egg, n tablespoonful of milk. a
tcaspoonful (heaping) of prepared flour,
with little pepper and salt; make into
small, flat cakes, flour and fry in good
dripping or lard.
Hominy-Soak a cup of small homi-
ny for two hours in enough cold water
to cover it. Drain. put over the fire in
q farina kettle, with quart of warm
water slightly salted and cook for half

has not soaked up all the water, pour it
off and supply the place with a cup of
warm milk. Bring it to a boil and
serve. Eat with sugar and cream.
Baked Halibut-Buy piece of hall
but cut square and thick, not in slices,
put it on the wire frame for roasting in
the dripping pan, and pour pint of
well-salted water into the pan, lay the
halibut on the cut side, and on the
other or upper side, lay enough slices

done, half an hour at least, occasionally
basting it with the sailed water.
Broiled Shad-Make your market
man split the shad down the belly; this
brings the thickest part over the great
est heat of the fire, and it is nicer to
help served in this manner. Put it on
a well creased gridiron and turn quite
often; to know when it is done separate
) the flakes of the thick part with knife,

NAPoLEON'S DREAM.
He Longed to Follow In the Footsteps OF
Alexander the Great.

He Longed to Follow In the Footsteps of
Alexander the Great
Bonaparte was child of the Medi-
terraneau. The light of it's sparkling
waters was ever in his eyes. and the
fascination of its ancient civilizations
was never absent from his dreams of
glory. His proclamations rang with
classic illusions, his festivals were
adorned with classic ceremony. In in
fancy he had known of Genoa, the
tyrant of his island, as strong in
the splendid commercial enterprises
which stretched eastward through the
Levant, and beyond into the farther
orient; in childhood he had fed his
imagination on the histories of Alexan-
der the Great, and his conquest of ORR
entail empires; in youth he had thought
to find an open door for his ambition,
when all others seemed closed. by TAX
ing service with England to share the
renown of those who were building up
her eastern empire. Disappointed in
this, he turned with the same lack of
success to Russia, already England's
rival on the continent of Asia.
1t is perfectly comprehensive that
throughout his early manhood his
mind should have occasionally revert
ed to the same ideals The conqueror
of Italy and Austria might hope to
realize them. Was he not master of
the two great maritime common
wealths which had once shared all
eastern trade between them? En-
glands intrusion upon the Mediterra-
mean basin was q never-ceasing irritar
ton to all the Latin powers Her
commercial prosperity and her mastery
of the seas aggravated the exaspera-
ton of France, as threatening
even her equality in their an
cient rivalry. From the days of the
first crusade all Frenchmen had felt
that leadership in the reconstruction of
Asia belonged to them by virtue Of
preoccupation- Ardent republicans.
moreover, saw Frances mission incom-
plete in the liberalizing of the CONT
nent, and the department OF marine
under the directory stamped It's paper
with the mottos Liberty Of the Seas"
Imaginative forces, the revolution
airy system, and the national ambition
all combined to create ubiquitous en-
thusiasm for tho conquest of the Medi
terranean To this the temperament
and training of Bonaparte were as tho
spark TO the finder. Il was with will
ing cars that the directory heard his
first suggestions about the Venetian
isles, and subsequently his plans for
the capture of Malta, which was to be
followed By deaAh-blow to England's

HANDMADE BASKETS.
Ono OF Them VIII Outwear Ten of Those
Made by Machinery.

One OF Them VIII Outwear Ten of Those
Made by Machinery.
IL Is q poor and barren part OF New
England. indeed, that can not be turned
to some account In the stony valleys
among the hills of Connecticut, where
the powders lie too thickly for the
plowman ever TO disturb the soil, are
scattered the little hamlets where the
baslSet-makers spend their uneventful
but useful lives. The craft of basket
making has passed from father to SON
for many generations to come, for in
spite of modern invention the tough,
strong. handmade basket will proba-
bly, be as much in demand In the TWEEN
tieth century as now.
Quaint, shrewd and philosophical are
the easy-going people of little villages
of basket-makers, with such names as
Devils Dem" Hard Scrabble" Dan
town." "Woodchuck Hollow" and
"Shaving Ridge" These people look
with contempt on the baskets made In
factories, where the splits are cut by
machinery. And well they may, for
the machine often cuts across the grain
in the wood, causing weak place in
the baskets. Factory baskets are much
cheaper, and one can buy basket Of
this kind for thirty-five cents, when a
handmade basket of the same kind
would cost fully two dollurs. Yet one
of the latter will outwcar ten of the
former, and will weigh Eve pounds.
where the factory-made basket will
weigh ten or twelve.
The shop of the basket-malScr is al
most identical with the old-timc cooper
shop. There are wooden bcnch-vices
or horses, where the men SIT and shave
off the splints, and overhead are rows
of bent white hickory handles, look
ing FOR all the world like rows of
horseshoes In blacksmith shop. On
the walls are an assortment of draw
ing-lSnives. hung on wooden pegs, some
of them after long years of use worn
and ground down to a narrow strip of
steel.
Outside are piles of basket-wood,
logs cut about nine feet in length,
white oak, black oak, pin oak, hicll-
Org. white walnut, pignut, white ash
and black ash. The black ask is the
best. 1t grows so that when a
split stick is hammered across
fat stone the different layers
made by each years growth
will separate and lie in thin strips
all ready for the baslsct-mallers to use.
No little skill is required to split the
other woods so as to waste as little as
possible, to shave out the tough. up
right strips and bend them in proper
shape, to split out the filling and deft-
ly weave it in.
If the baskct-malxers could always
find q steady demand for their prod
ucts they might be able to accumu-
late snug little fortunes, but the trade
is precarious one, and its followers
generally make but bare living.
Still. there will always be n certain
demand for the handmade basket.
Shect-iron or aluminium, paper or trop-
zeal fiber, may do some part in solving
the basket problem of the future, but
alongside OF these modern makeshifts
will be found the tough products of
the almost irreclaimable stony forests
of the mountain regions--N. Y. Re-
corder.

Constltuen. Parts OF Cord of Wood.

A cord of fairly-seasoned wood
weighs about 1000 pounds. If sub
jccted to heat of between 700 and 500
degrees it resolves into three distinct
products-charcoal, pyroligneous acid
and gases In order to properly bring
this change about it is necessary to
plant the wood In a kiln and apply the
heat gradually for four or five days.
At the end of that time the rcsidu will
be 1000 pounds of charcoal. 1000
pounds of pyroligneous acid and 1000
pounds of uncondensed gases The
aggregate weight of the products is
exactly equal to the original weight of
the wood Louis Republic.

stray they were driven back into the
school by n large fish on one side or

approached one of the guardians rushed
at him and drove him of. Tho watcher

CREAM ron cHORN,No.

Each Dairyman Must Find Out the Bess
Temperature for Himself.
The warmer the cream IL up to 20
degrees, the more quickly will It churn
and the softer will be the butter. Tho
lower the temperature at which butter
will come in from 10 to 60 minutes, the
hrmer will the butter be. The right
temperature for churning each churner
must find out for himself. From SO to
60 degrees in summer will be fair
range for most cream. The tempera-
ture of the ehurn and room has quite .
marked influence on the time required
to churn. The warmer the room, other
things being equal, the more quickly
will the cream churn. The same n to
the temperature of the churn. To
at about that temperature when tho
cream is put in. In nearly every case
the temperature rises after churninR
for some time, due to friction. Tho
larger the churn or the smaller the
amount of cream to be churned, the
more quickly will the churning be fin-
ished. A box or barrel churn without
dashers of any kind ought not to be
filed much over one-third full AS to
the ripcness OF the cream, by raising
the temperature q few degrees sweet
cream may be churned in about tho
same time as ripe or sour cream. The
loss of butter will be considerable, as
requires a temperature of from so to SIS
degrees and one to one and half
hours to churn. Cream from shippers
milk usually takes q longer time to
churn than that from fresh cows. 1t
will pay to take a little more time at
the churning and have it completely
churned and the butter firm and gram
