Parsnips and vvalnurs.

Parsnips arc sometimes served at
elaborate dinners in the form of Eng
hsh walnuts; they are first boiled and
mashed fine. Then to each pint there
is added a teaspoonful of salt, two table
spoofuls of melted butter, dash OF
pepper and two tablespoonfuls of milk.
Mix well over the fire, and when smok-
ing hot add a thoroughly beaten and
very fresh egg. Spread the mixture CD
a dish to cool, theu take the nut of an
English walnut, an almond, or a pine
nut and roll around it the parsniP pnlp
until you have a good-sized nut. Roll
in egg and in cracker dust as you would

A Dishpan stand.

A correspondent writes that she uses
d dishpan stand in her kitchen and has
found it exceedingly convenient. 1t is
easily manufactured out of any nice
-four barrel. First she fastens two
strips of wood, about one and hal!
inches thick, at the proper distance
from the bottom to allow slop
Bucket to rest upon and remain just be
low the dishpan, which is large enough
to rest in the top of the barrel. The
advantage of this stand is that it can
he easily moved. Where there is no
water or regular sink in the house to
hold the dishpan while washing dishes
it would be convenient. Any house
where there is no sink and no perma-
rent water supply is a house sadly be-
hind the age. We have passed the pi-
oneer day, and any well-to-do family
can easily put sink in their houses,
aid a good drain in connection with it.

health and comfort of the family as

OHerdoing In NTusic.

OVERRIDING is as cengura BILE as under
doing. To practice IL or 10 hours a day
is fully as fatal as to practice only
hour. To play fortissimo or pianissimo
where only forte or piano is required
will spoil the effect. To substitute largo
for andante, or presto for allegro, will
often cause a failure. A concert pro-
gramme one hour and half in length,
containing due proportion Of popular
music, will give more satisfaction to
the average audience than one three
hours long made up exclusively Of ''the
good old classics ''Let your modera-
ton be known to all men," is the adj
vice Of a writer in The Etude.

The bicyclists of the city held an in
formal meeting at the rooms of the I. A
A. last evening. 1t was the last gather
ing of wheelmen before the primaries
Saturday and the object was to talk over
the candidates and get all cyclists to
'Yote right"
Wheelmen were going and coming for
an hour and large number altogether
talked the situation over with the officers
of the L A w. and T. A. A. w.
One of the officers told a JOURNAL re.
porter that all the candidates but one for
the council are favorable to giving wheel
men privileges that will not infringe on
the rights of others. and it is expected
that all will be by the time the voting
begins. He reiterated the statement that
the wish of the bicyclists is not to be aQ-
gressive, but they simply wish to pre-
vent foolish and unjust legislation
against them.
1t is the intention of the wheelmsn to
push the repairs of the asphalt streets
snd to encourage further paving with
that material whenever the business
pros perity of the city will Justify it.
There is nothing superior to asphalt for
vehicles of all kinds.
It is said each councilman is to be
asked to pledge himself that he will do
all he can to keep up the repairs on the
asphalt streets. which sadly need fixing
in hundreds OF places.

To acquire the proper position the gen.

LIBERTY OF WOMAN"
Robert IDgersOIl Makes 81 Strong
Plea for the Preside.

BOSTON, March 12-The Boston thea
ter was jammed at p. m, when Robert
g. Ingersol announced the topic of his
new lecture, "The Liberty of Mar,
Woman and Child"
Mr.. IngersolI began by sketching tn
history of man as one of slavery, mi Us
tice and brutality from which there mas
been but one means of escape-intellect-
ual development. The man who does
not do his own thinking, said the lectur
or, is traitor to himself and to his fell
low man.
The speaker referred to the liberty of
women. Marriage, he said, regard as
the hottest institution among men. There
ID no real success, no real happiness in
this world except that of loving and or
being loved. had rather live with the
woman 1 loved in a world full of trouble
than live in heaven with nobody but
men.
But despise a stingy man. Think Of
making your wife bsggar! Don't make
her a slave either Be honest in your
counting. / believe in the. freside; be-
lieve in the democracy of home; be-
lieve in the republicanism of the family.
And, finally, there are the children. II
women have been slaves, what shall
say of the children-of the little children
yin alleys and cellars? When your child
tells lie, don't rush at him as if the world
were about to go into bankruptcy.
tyrant father will have liars for his
children. Be honest with them. II
they lie, tell them it is not the best way,
you have tried it.
am going to do all l can to get the
whip out of every public institution.
do not believe that corporal punis hment
will make any human being better.
There is no reforming power in fear or
cruelty. Don't resort to the whip or to
the club-don't appeal to savagery. Let
the children enjoy themselves when they
have a chance. Make home pleasant.

PEELS OFF HIS TROUSERS.
Frank Evans Finds 1t Doesn't Pay to
Take Friends
WITH ANY STRANGE WAYFARER

One Chances 10 Meta Shining Pts
GOI Pointed at H is Head and All of
His Money and Most OF His Clothing
Taken.
About nine O'Clock last night man
who said his name was Frank Evans OF
Manhattan, appeared at the police sta
ton. He wore a very ragged pair of
trousers and was greatly excited. 1t Is
not surprising that he was excited, for
only a short time before he had been
compelled to look down the cruel barrel
of a revolver, held by a most reckless
individual, who took his money, compel
led him to take off his outer pair of
trousers, stripped him of his overcoaf,
and then threatened to shoot him In the
bargain.
Two days ago Evans left Manhattan to
go to Dodge City where he was to go
to work. He had 81 with him and in or
der to make his money go as far as posi-
bic he decided to beat his way. He
boarded a Union Pacific train but was
put off at St. Marys. Here he met
wanderer who said his name was Stew
art. He had no money and few clothes.
Evans generously offered him something
to eat and the men became friends. Yes
terday they reached Topeka
Evans did not want to go to hotel be-
cause his little stock of money was run
ming low, and so he bought some crack
ers and a small piece of meat and the
two men went to the bridge across Sol
der creek, on Central avenue, to cook
their meal. When they had eaten,
Stewart suggested that they go to
school house half mile further on and
spend the night there. Evans began to
fear his new friend, and he refused TO
go. He said he would 60 back up town.
Stewart coaxed, but Evans refused to go.
Evans turned his back on Stewart and
began to pick up the things he had with
him. When he Strengthened up and
looked around Stewart had him covered
with revolver
"Put up your hands" came the firm
command.
Startled and frightened. Evans lost no
time in obeying.
Stewart went through Evans pockets
and got $3.50. Evans was too much
frightened to protest.
Take of your coat" next commanded
the robber.
Evans took it of and handed it to his
friend.
"Now take off them pants and be quick
about it, too" was the next order.
Evans complied and stood shivering in
the biting wind wondering what would
come next.
snow walk ahead of me-" commanded
Stewart, and be forced the frightened
man to go to the Rock Island railroad
tracks. When they rearhed the railroad
Stewart said:
Nov I am going down into town and
you go the other way. l guess I might
as well kill you as have you go down
into town, so you had better keep on up
the tracks,"
"Oh PII go. Pill CO." pleaded Evans
and he started off.
The highwayman watched him awhile
and then started toward the city.
As soon as Evans thought he was out
of sight he lodged into bouse and told
what had happened The man brought
him to the police station where he told
his story and spent the night.
The police looked for the robber all
night.

Found the Yarn Factory.

In the town of B., Connecticut, there
is a factory where yarn is made. A
stranger approaching the town one day
in a buggy, pulled up his horse and ac-
costed farmer who was digging pota~
toes on the other side of the fence.
Can you tell me where the yarn mill
is?'' inquired the stranger. Certainly"
was the reply. Keep straight on I'M
til you come to the drinking fountain.
Right opposite is wooden block with
three doors. The middle door is the
one you want" Thank YOU" said
the stranger, and drove on. In due
time he came to the fountain and
sought the middle door of the wooden
block, and it led him upstairs to the
Office of the local newspaper. The
other yarn factory. the one which he
was looking for, lay half a mile beyond.

not take on and off. but with its beaded
edging covers the material band which
joins bodice and skirt together.
In order to give the skirt that appear
ance of fullness round the waist, it is
cut with a slightly gored front, which,
like the back piece, must have no seam
down the center. There are two side
cores. By side cores is meant that they
are just shaped to fit the front cores, but
are not accentuated as SO many of the
little tweed gored skirts are. It will
hardly be necessary to line the skirt, SO
that the hem need only be turned up and
hemmed. If you wish it lined, use the
same pattern for cutting out your lining
as for the material.
A coat shape lining is the foundation
for the leg O. mutton sleeves, little
bead edged velvet cuff giving them a
pleasing finish. The cachet of this froc4
lies in the velvet braces, which are en-
tire1y novel in design; they extend
from front to back and are trimmed
with fancy metal buttons and a jet edg-
ing. Each brace is cut cut Of length
of velvet, and there must be no join on
the shoulders.
If new material is to be purchased for
this dress, you cannot do better than to
select diagonal coating. as this is a
cloth which has been selected to make
a number of the new spring models.

some thrifty young plants at green
house in February, take slip or two
from each and propagate at once. Then
in March set both the purchased plant
(now shifted into a larger pot) and the
rooted slips Cby that time potted) into
a hotbed and advance them well there
until planting-out time.
In plant propagation the home gar
dener often loses sight of various con-
ditions which the professional deems
essential. By the aid of the accom-
panying sketch of a begonia I will
point out some of these. First, the slip
should not be too hard or too soft at its
base. If it be too hard, it will root with
difficulty and grow slowly; if too soft.
the slip is liable to decay or to make
weakly plant. In the case of the be-
gonia shoot illustrated, point just be-
low the third joint, counting up, was
found to possess a condition inferno
diate between the extremes named. II
preparing the cutting for the sand
some pruning is desirable, for now
there are no roots to sustain extra leaf
surface. To remove the lower leaf en-
tirely and cut away the points of the
longer remaining leaves is all that il
required, leaving the slip as shown
at b.
Clean sand is the best substance in
which to root cuttings. The cutting
should not be set more than about
half an inch deep. The sand should
be somewhat compacted against it.
The cutting box or pot should occupy a
warm, light place, shading the slips il
the sunshine be strong. Enough water
should be applied to keep the roots
from tagging, and frequent sprinkling
of the foliage is desirable. AS soon as
roots half an inch in length have been
formed it is desirable to pot the young
plant. - Elias A. Long, in American
Gardening.

A Word About Sheets.

Make sheets "a yards long, when
hemmed. With sheet of that length
securely tucked in at top, bottom and
sides a bed may be always comfortable,
for if it become full of wrinkles it is as
bad as if full of crumbs. Lift each end
and side of the mattress and fold the
sheet smoothly and tightly under it.
Fold the upper sheet and coverings we'll
under at the foot and make sure there is
enough of the upper sheet to cover the
blankets at the top and prevent their
touching the face.

An Agricultural Peer.

The Earl of Winchilsea is best known
to the English public by the great in
terest be takes in matters agricultural.
His interest in birds has led him to
make many expeditions, some of which
have extended as far as Egypt, and to
risk his life at the end of rope many
scores of times on the west coast of
Scotland. He has the finest collection
of eagles eggs in England. The earl
is also interested in pet animals of
different kinds, and he used to walk
about the park at his ancestral Haver
bolme accompanied by a Honess.

ST. LOUIS, March 12-Within the past
four days friends and supporters of Maj.
Mckinley of Ohio have secured accom-
nodations for 900 people there during
the Republican national convention.
The Pennsylvania delegation gave up
its contract with the LindeIl hotel TO care
for 800 people and the space was eagerly
gobbled up by the Ohioans. Then, the
Iowa crowd gave up their headquarters
in accom- N odations for 800 people and
the McKinleyites also secured them.
The Marylanders were the third
to throw up the sponge.
and before the ink on the
telegram was cold the Buckeyes had the
accommodations.
Aside from this the Mckinley forces
had contracts with the Southern for all
the space that hotel would give them,
and tho same thing has been done by
them at the Lindell, St. James, Laclede,
Planters and at every hostelry where any
accommodations whatever could be Sc
cured.
