RABBIrs ARE GOOD EATING.

A favorite method is to prepare rab'
bits in imitation of iugged hare.
Cleanse the rabbits thoroughly and
wash them we'll. Cut into small neat
pieces and dredge with -four, when fry
to pale brown in hot Lutter. When
nicely Drowned, place in a jar that has
close lid, add an onion stuck with
cloves, o lemon peeled and cut in half,
pnd q good seasoning of salt, cayenne
pepper and mace. Cover with water,
place the hid on the jar, place the jar
up to the neck in saucepan OF boil
ing water, and lot it stew until the
RABBIT is very tender, taking care to
keep the water boiling. About three
hours will be required to cook the rab'
bits. Serve with red currant jelly.
Curried Rabbit Clean the rabbit
thoroughly, cut into neat joints. Put
into a stewpan with some sliced
onions, and a generous piece of butter
and LEI them acquire. nice brown
color. Sift over the rabbits table.
spoonful of -four, and pour over oil
about one and a half pints of water,
which must be boiling. Mix one
tablespoon of curry powder with lit.
tie water to smooth paste and add to
the rabbit, with one tablespoonful OF
mushroom powder; allow to simmer
one hour or more, if the rabbits are
old, squeeze in the juice Of one lemon,
and serve in the center of dish with
an edging of boiled rice around. A
little sour apple may be stewed with
the rabbit in place OF the lemon juice.
Fried Rabbit-Choose rabbits with
smooth and sharp claws, as that de-
notes they are young; should these be
blunt and rugged, the ears dry and
tough, the animal is old. After
emptying and skinning, wash we'll IN
cold water and let soak about one
fourth hour in warm water, to which
has been added little vinegar, to
draw the blood. Cut the rabbit into
neat Joints, and -four them well.
Make some drippings or butter very
hot in deep frying pan, put IN the
rabbit, and Try a nice brown, sprinkle
with salt and pepper, and little tne'
" minced shallots. Draw the pan to
the back of the stove and pour over
few spoonfuls of mushroom ketchup,
cover closely, and let steam few
minutes; then serve.
Rabbit Pie-Cut up the rabbit. re.
move the larger bones, and place the
animal, with few slices OF ham, salt
and pepper, q little pounded mace
and grated nutmeg, in layers in deep
dish. Sprinkle over all little -four
and pour in about one-half pint OF
water. Cover with O crust and bake
in well-heatea oven one and half
hours. Should the crust acquire too
much color, place piece OF paper
over it to prevent burning. When
done, pour in at the top by means OF
the hole in the middle Of the crust, a
little good gravy, which may be made
of the bones Of the rabbits boiled with
water and favored with onions, herbs
and spices.-American Agriculturist.

BELIEVE IN CHARACTER.

Jesus was al al solute and unreserved be-
lever in character. and was never weary OF
insisting that a mans soul was more than
his environment. and that he must be judged
not by what he held and had, but Iby
what he was and did. Nothing could be
easier than to say, Lord. Lord" bu. that
did not count. Jesus demand was to do
"the will OF My Father which is in heaven"
and all OF this kind made one family.
He only has founded kingdom on
the basis of character He only has dared
20 believe that character will be omnipo-
tent. No weapon In Jesus Tiew would be
50 winsome. So irresistible, as the beatitudes
q action. His disciples were to use no kind
Of force. neither tradition. nor miracles,
nor the sword, nor money. They were to
live as He lived, and influence would con-
1uer the world. Jesus elected twelve men
one was a failure-and trained them till they
thought with Him, and saw with Him. St;
John did not initiate Jesus. he assimilated
Jesus. Each disciple becamea centre hlm-
self. and so the kingdom grows by multiply
ing and widening circles OF lnfuence:-hev:

it to tie doctor, who took pinch and
bowed as he raised it to his nose-lust
as men bow when about to drink vine
he took q pinch himself. This done, he
initiated the doctor by taking out rei
handkerchief, that looked like q good
sized flag, and they inclined their heads
toward each other and blew bugle
blasts Of great vigor and resonance into
the hankerchiefs.
Il agree with you. my dear Doctor"
said the squire, replacing the handker-
chief in one Of the side-pockets of his
velveteen coat. "The officers of tho
Wanderer are gentlemen tried and true,
of that there cannot be the slightest
doubt; and am right glad to welcome
them here. But cannot see that in any
of the essential requirements Of gentil-
ity or seamanship, or even in those ex-
terror qualifications that rejoice the
eyes of women, and which men are
pleased to behold, that they surpass our
own people, the officers and crew OF the
Sea Hawk.
well said, Squire Condit, said the
doctor, taking out his snuffbox and pre-
senting it in turn. Perhaps one who
has brother and nephew among the Of
ficers or the Sea Hawk is not competent
to Judge impartially between the merits
of these sailors; but would not fear,
were thew foes opposed to each other
which may heaven foybid-as to the re-
suit Of the contest.
"Nor would l." replied the squire,
helping himself to pinch OF snuff from
the doctors bvx, and preparing for an
other blast by taking out his handker-
chief. Ralph Denham is as dear to me
as if he were flesh Of my flesh and bone
of my bone. 1t is not for me to say
what the Condits are or have been, and,
pray, ever will be; but, though l know
not Ralph's antecedents, I am sure If they
ever are known that they will prove to
be quite as good as mine, or yours, or
any one else's in the provinces.
Il think, my dear Squire. that you
made mistake in not giving him your
own name, when that stranger first
placed him in your charge
Il could not; the boy was too old
then, and would have remembered, re-
piled the squire.
How old was he!"
"A little over five, the stranger said. !"
And that was twenty years ago?
Twenty years ago-let me see;.
why it is twenty-one years ago this
blessed first Of June. All, now / recall;
my wife spoke Of it this morning, and
told me that we always celebrated the
event like a birthday. Captain Fox has
invited US aboard his ship this evening,
so, after all, Ralphs arrival, as we call
it, will be made much Of. OF course,
your family will be there, Do:tor?" said
the squire, stamping his feet as If pre-
pairing to move on.
Yes; Mrs. Hedges and Lea are great
admirers Of the new comers; and then,
you know, Valentine Dayton and my
brother can't we'll refuse. Sailors,
though informal in their ways with
landsmen, are said to be very rigid with
each other.
DR.. Hedges mounted his pony, and
rode off, to visit his patients on the
other side of the bay, and Squire Condit
walked hriskly to the eastward, where
he had large farm and many hands to
oversee.

, Eat Apples Before Retiring.

Everybody ought to know that the
very best thing he can do is to eat
apples just before going to bed. The
apple has remarkably eficacious
medicinal properties. 1t is m excel.
lent brain food, because it has more
phosphoric acid in easily digested
shape than other fruits. 1t excites
the action of the liver, promotes sound
and healthy sleep, and thoroughly
disinfects the mouth. It helps the
kidney secretions and prevents cel.
culous growths, while it relieves indi.
gestion and is one of the best preven.
tiyes known for diseases of the throat.
No harm can come to even delicate
system by the eating of ripe aad juicy
apples before retiring for the night.--

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS,
POLISHING STEEL.

The most unresponsive metal for Q
housekeeper to attack is steel; rub
and polish as one will, unless certain
secret be known, there is still the dull
look, and the hardware dealer will
only advise the expensive expedient Of
sending the steely article to be
ground at the factory. The old lash.
ioned knife brick, however, will work
wonders here by simply buying it
powdered, mixing with sweet oil and
rubbing on freely. Allow this to dry
on, then polish brlskly and finish of

DYSPEPSIA.
A Life Of Agony, a Death Of Pain, is the
Experience Of its Victims.

This dreaded disease is caused by imperfect
action of the stomach, and impurities of the
blood. Gastric ulcers appear at a certain stage,
they slowly eat into the yitals of the victim;
poisoning his blood and preventing the absorp-
ton of proper nourishment from the food.
The patient at last dies from starvation, unless
q knawing ulcer penetrates an artery, and
death from hemorrhage is the result. Do not
continue to suffer. You can be cured.
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa brings relief in every
instance. 1t tones up and rectifes all derange-
ments of the stomach, liver and kidneys; above

A WOMEN,S CLUB IN PARIS.
1t Seeks to Make Life Enjoyable for
Its Members

Within the last few years the 'emancipa-
ton of woman as 1t is called, has made
very rapid strides In France. 1t is not only
that women are more freely admitted to share
in the labor of life, and to occupy posts in
the public Offices. banking houses merchants
establishments, ETC., which were formerly re-
served exclusively for men, but they are de-
handing loudly To be permitted to exercise
political rights. This, however. is by no
means all. Since they share in the labor
which was formerly performed by the stror ger
sex, they demand, and are assuming. indie
pendence in the pleasures of life. The bicy-
