GOOD BREAKFAST DISHES. ,

A List Of Delightful Recipes for the
Spring Time lieakfast Table.
It is your horne woman with a prac-
tical knowledge of the advar rtares OF
genuinely good living thu knows the
first meal of tie day should be a
nutritious one. The breakfasts should
be well cooked, the dishes appetizing
and good to look at.
For all well-appointed breakfasts
fruit, either raw or cooked in some
way, generally begins this repast.
Apples cooked in this manner as a
breakfast dish are welcome varia-
ton: For a family of six take eight or
ten fine soft tart apples, peel, core,
slice and set to soak for at least three
hours in sugar moistened with brandy
and lemon juice. Drain from this and
fry to a clear brown in butter, sprinkle
well with powdered sugar and cinna-
mon; then serve.
1t is to the southern housekeeper
that we owe the cooking of hot breads
in all their perfection. To make what
is called pone, upon one quart of white
cornmeal pour just enough boiling wa
ter to scald it through. After stirring
it thoroughly, let it stand until cold;
rub into it piece of butter about the
size of q small egg and add little
salt. Beat two eggs until light, with
out separating, add them 10 the meal,
mix well, add one pint of sour milk or
buttermilk, beat until smooth. Dis
solve one teaspoonful of soda in a
tablespoonful of boiling water, stir
in the mixture, turn into creased bak-
ing pan and bake in quick oven for
35 minutes. This is fine corn bread
for either breakfast or tea.
Baked eggs as adelicacy for the early
meal is unsurpassed. In good hot
oven on stoneware platter melt q
large lump of butter. When thor
oughly softened shake it all over the
dish in order to grease it well On
this hot butter drop six fresh eggs as
if for poaching. When the whites are
set they are done. This should be
served with long and narrow pieces of
toast without crust, which will act as 3
garnish for the edge of the dish.
Boston can boast of fine brown
bread, and equally SO the Boston brown
hash, which is an excellent breakfast
dish. Chop up the remains of any
cold meat, either beef or mutton. At
the bottom of the dish put a. layer OF
mashed potatoes (cold ones will an
swer). Then a layer of meat, then a
strata of stale bread crumbs, season
with salt and pepper, here and there q
few bits of butter, and moisten with q
half cup of beef gravy; then another
layer of potatoes. Drop knife inte
milk and smooth over the top. Bake
in moderate oven until nice brown.
Serve hot.
For cheese omelette break IL eggs
into bowl, beat lightly with q fork for
minute only; add one cupful Of milk
and two ounces of American or Par
mesan cheese grated, season with salt
and pepper. Put in frying pan two
ounces of butter, when melted pour
in the eggs. When they thicken sufi-
GENTLY, fold in two and serve imnne-
diately. The best made omelette will
spoil if kept waiting.-Detroit Free
Press.

The Best Advice.

| am more and more convinced, the
longer l live, that the very best advice
that was ever given from friend to friend
is contained in these four words, "Mind
your own business" The following of it
would save many hesrtache. It's OBJ
servSnce would insure against every sort
Of wrangling. When we mind our own
business we are sure of success in what
we undertake, and may count upon a
glorious immunity of failure. When the
husbandman harvests crop by hanging
over the fence and watching his neighbor
hoe weeds, it will be time for you and
me to achieve renown in any undertake
ing in which we do not exclusively need
to mind our own business. If had q
family OF young folks to give advice to-,
my early, late and constant admonition
would be always and everywhere, to
"mind your own business" Thus should
they woo harmony and peace, and live
to enjoy something like completeness Of
life.--A Wise Man.

Love Of Country.

Love Of country is as spontaneous and
God-given an affection and principle as
love Of home, Of father and Of mother.
Yet much is due the young people OF
our homesteads with respect to these
holidays. They should be made the most
Of. Parents and employers should make
them holidays In very truth, relaxing
all possible claims on the time our rulers
have wisely decreed shall be devoted TO
freedom Of action, to mirth or the OBJ
servance OF such exercises as q holiday
may bring. The man who exacts un-
necessary toll from boy on Memorial
day or the Fourth of July represses his
patriotism, defrauds him Of his legiti-
mate right as a subject Of legislative law
and takes from him Joy that after years
will fail to indemnify.
A holiday always points back to an
important history. 1t is not necessary
or judicious to prate too long even Of
very important events Of the past. But
Memorial day as long as it lasts must
always be an anniversary to bring many
weary sigh and start many a bitter
memory. II was the youth, the beauti-
ful, hopeful, courageous youth, that in
all the glory OF their fresh young lives
went forth in large numbers in those
mournful days to do battle for their own
dear land. And it is to many Of them
who yielded up their precious lives in
the cause OF unity, freedom and justice
The advocate., 1896-05-27

Don't let doors squeak; oil them. Don'S
whisper. Don't make exaggerated and
noticeable efforts at being quiet. Don't
speak Of similar cases with fatal ter
limitations. Don't admit lachrymose
visitors of the Job's-comforter style.
Don't keep the room too hot. Don't
leave table near the bed loaded with
scraps of food, soiled dishes, and bits Of
paper Don't rock. Don't jar the bed.
Don't sit and stare at the patient. Don't
leave bureau drawers open and window
shades askew. Don't forget frequent
ventilation. Don't raise dust; brush
with a damp cloth on broom. Don't,
taste the patients food with his spoon.
Don't mssticate cheerfully and audibly
yourself while your patient is dieting.
Don't wake patient from a sound sleep
to administer medicine. Don't ask show
he feels' every few moments Don't
give stimulapts unless ordered by the
physician. Don't forget to bathe the
patients face and hands frequently, and
wash the teeth aud mouth. In word,
put yourself in the patients place, and
do unto him as you would fain have
done unto you when, with nerves un-
strung and perceptions painfully acute,
you lie dependent on another's care.

Teaching a Blind Child.

Think of a child at the age of 4 years
having been born blind, and having
lived up to that time in an ignorant, un-
wholesome atmosphere. In such condi-
tions are the majority of our blind
children found. To such a child the
world is blank. Hehas no imagination
In regard to shape, distance, size or
motion, and his sense Of touch and hear
ing are, comparatively speaking, dormant.
Place this child in the kindergarten and
notice his rapid growth in months
time. He is given the first gift-the six
worsted bals-Rnd for the first time his
attention is directed toward shape, and
his sense OF touch begins to develop.
Then with the second gift-the sphere,
cylinder and cube-he learns to compare
and to distinguish differences in shape
and size, and his mind is beginning to
make pictures of how the materials given
him may look. The child born blind
can, OF course, never have an accurate
conception Of the appearance of things,
yet, by careful teaching, he has his own
idea Of this and that, and who knows
just how correct that idea may be?
After the second gift, the four succeeding
gifts present to the child the whole, the
unit, and the fraction of the whole. The
kindergarten materials train the hand
Of the blind child, as they train the eye
OF the seeing child. Occasionally cases
will be found in which the hand will
discover differences that escape the eye.
Paper folding and cutting, weaving,
embroidery and knitting all teach care
and precision, and develop the sense Of
touch to an abnormal degree. The
games and songs are particularly de-
lightful to the blind child. Nature, ami
mails, birds are all reproduced in play,
and the child lives in an atmosphere Of
wholesome imagination. Nature appeals
to the mind of the little blind child in a
wonderfully clear way.-BOStOn Tran

Gowns for Little Girls.

A pretty gown for everyday wear in
the country is made from red polka
dot print of a good quality. This Is
cut with q short waist and full skirt.
The waist is tucked In front and row
of feather stitching Is made down each
tuck, with white AsistiC twisted en-
broidery silk. The sleeves are cut
mutton leg and have q row of the
feather stitching around them; a wide
frill extends from the bottom of the
waist in front, over the shoulders and
meets In the middle of the back of
waist. A ruffle hemmed on both edges
and gathered through the middle fin.
ishes the neck of this neat little gown.
Another one Is made of black ssteen.
There happened to be bit of old gold
colOred silk which was used for a yoke,
and black ruffles were put over the
shoulders. These were feather stitched
with gold Colored Victoria knitting
silk. The Mother Hubbard skirt Is
gathered to the yoke with ruffle and
this is stitched twice and then has a
row of feather stitching with the same
gold colored silk. The little sleeves
are cut bishop fashion and gathered to
a cuff which has two rows of feather
stitching with the Victoria knitting
silk. This makes good play gown
and certainly does not show the soil
as the lovely light ginghsms and per-
Gales do.
A beautiful little percsle gown Is Of
a hair line stripe in buff and white.
This Is cut with an embroidered yoke,
or part of yoke. The edge of the en-
broidery Is laid on the waist pattern
and this slsnts to the center Of the

shaped opening. The skirt is gathered

ishing tape. A guimpe Of the buff iS

The golden age OF peace has come ON earth
Lo, in the blOod.stained fields the lilies
bloom,
And softly on the alien soldiers tomb
Is laid the wreath that owns his manly worth
No more, thank God, the cannon thunders
forth
Or saber flashes in the smoke and gloom.
Peace, peac3l For snowy mantled Peace
make room,
And Love, that in the heart OF God had birth.
And wild flowers blossom in the cannOn's
throat;
Let every banner over brothers float;
Let bitter memories be washed away.

And bugles blow the sweet eyangel note

Some Comments from GfeAt newspapers ON
This National Holiday.
The observance Of Decoration day
should not be left to the surviving vet
Grams even now. To them the first place
rightfullY belongs, but the whole com
munity should add it's tribute to theirs.
The day is q general holiday and all
classes should unite in honoring it,
San Francisco Examiner.
Memorial day will not cease to be
commemorative Of the nations dead, but
year after year, as personal recollections
fade and the actors Of the tragedy with
draw from the scene, it will become
more and more an occasion for reviving
tagging patriotism and reinforcing the
loyalty of the faithful.-ChicGgO Post,
In 1862 four ladies decorated the graves
Of the soldiers at Arlington Heights In
1864 Congress took notice Of ceremonial
30 significant and made this day legal
holiday. Now the great national
cemeteries are decorated, and the lonely
grave OF the unknown is sought out.
And this beautiful custom has come
into such favor with all the people that
the graves Of all our dead are covered
with flowers. How appropriately beauti-
full For all the flowers spell the two
words, love and resurrection.-Om Omaha

Memorial day engenders beautiful
thoughts in other ways than through
the remembrance of the unselRsh
devotion to q great sentiment which led
the men of 1861 TO lay down their lives.
Flowers, the maximum OF the years
beauty in the sky and on the earth, the
honor accorded to the aged, the solemn
words OF prayer and song, all tend to
the uplifting of hearts and the turning
Of the minds OF the young to high and
noble things, even irrespective Of the
more direct memories evoked by the

The leseon OF Memorial day is to keep
fresh the memories of our illustrioua
dead, to preserve intact what they fought
for and saved, to keep alive the patriotic
spirit and resolve in the immortal words
Of Abraham Lincoln, "that from these
honored dead we take increased devotion
to that cause for which they gave the
last full measure Of devotion, that we

Good Nurplng a Matter Of Details.

Good nursing, says an exchange, is a
matter of details, each inconsiderable in
itself, but all bearing their quota of
Importance when the sum total is taken
into account. A few "don'ts" impressed
upon the nurse, who usually errs from
"want ofthOught, may make the burden
little lighter for the invalid, who is
hardly in condition to "suffer and grow
strong"

ANY celebration Of this day which

Let the people run up their flags to the

joyful airs and not requiems, Let the

beauty and symmetry Of a union

Thirty-o one years have passed since the
last soldier fell in the war for the Union,
and to very large part Of our people
now the commemoration Of the heroic
dead necessarily has not the personal
association that at first gave such
solemnity to the annual decoration Of
their graves. But while the ceremony
has thus lost something of it's spontaneity
it may really have gained more than it
has lost In value. This day Of flowers,
which was at first devoted to the personal
cOmmemoration Of the dead, grows more
and more into a celebration Of the i'm
personal virtue Of patriotism which was
