Molly Puffs: One cupful Of Indian

water; when it cools add two cupfuis
Of rye meal. two eggs, one tablespoon
full of brown sugar, and small half
teaspoonful of soda, little salt; fry
them, dropped from a spoon, i'll boiling

Baked Eggs: Butter tin or old
saucer, and on to 1t place raw egg;
bake 1t for about ten minutes, or till
the egg is nicely set. A novel way
of baking eggs is as follows: First
prick several holes in the large end Of
two eggs to allow the escape Of the
confined air, rs it expands from the
heat; place on a small tin, and bake
about ten minutes. Mercury.
Time to Cook Meat: A beefsteak
cut an inch thick will be cooked rare
in ten minutes. A mutton chop cut
three-fourths of an inch thick will
cook in eight minutes. Veal and pork
must be broiled slowly and for long
time. There should not be a trace Of
pink in the fbers when the meat is
done. The chops should not be cut
more than half an inch thick. They
will be we'll done with twelve minutes
cooking. Rural.
Pork and Beans: Soak one quart
dry beans over night, pour off the wa
ter in the morning and cover with
fresh in which is pinch Of soda. Let
the beans boil in this five minutes.
drain and pack in bean pot. Put on
the top one pound of salt pork that
has been slightly parboiled, cover with
water in which half cup of molasses
has been stirred, set in the oven and
bake slowly until the beans are soft
not mushy. A dyspeptic can eat beans
cooked in this way and feel no bad eff
fects afterward. Mrs. Boardman, in
Farm and Home.
Orange Souf1e: Four large oranges,
six eggs, three heaping tablespoonfuls
of sugar, a pint and a half of rich milk.
Peel, slice and seed the oranges and
place them upon the bottom of a dish
you wish to send to the table, and
sprinkle over them a heaping table
spoonful of sugar. Make custard of
the yolks of the eggs, the milk and the
remainder of the sugar. Set aside to
cool, and when cold pour over the
sliced oranges. Beat the whites of the
eggs to stiff froth, add spoonful of
powdered sugar; spread this over the
pudding and set in the oven and brown
slightly.-Boston Budget.

There's eight hundred dollars in cash

SCOTCH FARM WORKERS.
The Glass That Has Furnished Many Emil
nent Men.

The agricultural laborers of Scot
land are, as a class, healthy and tenn
perate; they receive small wages. The
Scottish peasantry have played an i'm
portant part in the development of
their nation. They are thrifty, re-
ligious, and we'll educated-thanks to
the facilities for education provided
for them through the liberality OF the
church of Scotland. 1t is from this
class that many of Scotia's eminent
sons have arisen. They are, however,
very poor, and when their children are
young, they are unable to provide for
sickness or death. They work twelve
hours a day, receive fourteen shillings
or fifteen shillings a week, have free
house, with a small garden. As the
children grow up they are sent into
service to relieve the burden that rests
upon the parents. From their we'll
stocked gardens, the Scottish agricul-
tural laborers obtain potatoes, green
vegetables, and fruit.
Many of them get their milk either
free or at a nominal cost from the
farm. The family breakfast consists
of porridge and milk; dinner of broth,
meat and potatoes and tea; at six p. m.
they have porridge and milk, followed
by tea, with bread, butter and jam.
The wife of one of the cottars, who
furnished the facts through DIR. Wylie,
Stewarton. Ayrshire, for me, states
that her husband receives fifteen shil-
lings q week and the allowances al
ready alluded to, and that she is able
to keep the household Il. e., her hus'
band, self and FIVE children) on twelve
shillings to thirteen shillings week,
the remainder being required for
clothing, boots, etc. The cottar, prac-
tically, can make no provision what
ever for sickness and death, unless in
q few eases only, where he pays PEN
nv or two-pence a week into burial
society. 1t is when his children grow
M and enter service that he may be
able to save e little money.-Fortnight-
ly Review.

During the ten years from 1888 to
1898 the colleges of Oxford have lost on
an average 100000 year of income
through the prevailing agricultural
depression-3O per cent. of their total
income. This has been made up in
part by increased receipts from other
sources, so that the total decrease is
about 5 per cent. The diminution,
however, has affected individual col

The Methodist ministers of Cleve-
land are very much in earnest on the
question of dancing in the public

the reason given being that the prac-

time that it has become rooted in the
system. Now the ministers say they
will again demand that 1t be discontin-

with, they will appeal to the courts for
decision.

NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.
New Dress Materials Women Will Wear in
the Coming Season.

New Dress Materials Women Will Wear in
the Coming Season.
The new crepons are so varied in de-
sign and beautiful in coloring that
they battle description. One of the lat
est novelties has an ecru ground which
resembles canvas, with crinkled silk
stripes of two or three subdued colors
woven on its surface, crossing and re-
crossing to form a large plaid, which
is all very modest in coloring, but
snowy in effect. Many shades of one
color are prettily blended on the sur
face; two colors in strong contrast are
woven together, while other crepons
have dots and spots of bright-colored
silk to further emphasize the deep Grim
kles.
Summer silks show the creped effect
which has come to be reigning fea-
ture of all dress goods, and are either
crinkled in stripes of various widths or
all over.
The new taffetas are striped with
satin and covered with dots and pretty
chine designs, and those Of neutral
tint on pale grounds have pretty Wat
teau patterns of sprays and garlands
of flowers scattered over their surface
Watered grounds are also fashionable.
Among the novelties in washable
goods are robe gowns of grass linen,
deep ecru in color, and beautifully en-
broidered in open-work scroll and
lowered designs. There are also dam
ty colored batistes embroidered with
white in deep points, which lap over a
wide hem of batiste of q contrasting
color, such as tan over pale green,
pink over blue. These robe gowns are
very stylish for seaside wear. and
where applique embroidery is en-
ployed cost as much as forty-fve dol
lars, but simpler patterns can be
bought for twelve dollars.
Diagonal materials of both plain and
mixed colors, and in great variety as
to the width of the diagonal, are to be
worn for spring gowns, and wooden
goods, in canvas and basket effects,
are to be made up in tailor dresses.
Round waists will continue in favor
through the coming season, except
perhaps for stout women, to whom
they are not very becoming, and all
sorts of beaded yokes, spangled and
finished on the edge with jet caboch-
ons, are used for their decoration.
The latest bonnets for evening and
afternoon wear are, in most instances,
all black, made with black crowns or
shapes of net closely spangled, and
trimmed with rosettes of net and nous
seline de sole beaded on the edge. and
gauzy wings of wired mousseline, with
spangles. Where flowers are used they
are made in the from of rosettes.
Ostrich-feather tips are used at the
side of collar bands, instead of the
loops of ribbon, with great effect.
Pretty tea jackets are made OF nuns
yelling in pale colors, lined with silk
and trimmed with open work en-
broidery over the silk and the Yelling
fitted on below makes a charming
jacket.
Large butterflies of jet and spangles
are worn on the front of bodices at the
belt so large that they will reach from
side to side and reach well down the
skirt.-N. Y. Sun
