THEY REFUSE TO TALK.

inspectors ROQerlck ana Brennan re-
fuse to give out anything concerning
their visit to the Clear Spring or what
they think Of the abandoned PROPOSE
ton of reaching the men by that route.
Their silence gives rise to the suspicion
that they do not agree with Inspector
Mcdonald that the Clear Spring idea Is
altogether impracticable.
AS result Of Mondays visit to the
mine by the commissioners a new plan
Of reaching the men Is to be tried.
There Is O manway running parallel to
the slope into the workings where the
men are entombed and which on ac-
count Of its being cut through the solid
rock Is presumably intact or at all
events not SO badly choked as the
slope. An effort was made to explore
this but after penetrating a short dis
tance the exploring party encountered
such heavy bodies Of gas that they had
to turn back.
Now 1t is proposed to clear out the
gas from this manway and make an at
tempt to reach the workings through IT,
Screens are being placed over all the
openings into the abandoned workings
except this one and the main slope, so
that the air which Is now going to
waste through these openings will be
concentrated on the manway and slope.
CAN DRIVE OUT THE GAS.
If the manway has not been affected
to any great extent by the fall the air
can be driven through 1t at high rate
Of speed and the gas must necessarily
be driven out.
The progress by way Of the slope Is
growing slower and more dangerous
every day and 1t is feared that unless
some new means are adopted such as
suggested above, for the finding Of the
men the search will soon have to be
abandoned altogether.

AS breakfast dish, cream toast with
pOsched eggs is delicious. Plain cream
toast and snowflake toast, tomato
toast, celery toast and lentil toast will
each one make an acceptable dish when
hasty luncheon is wanted. But with
each one Of these dishes the toast must
be thoroughly toasted, as Isaid at the
beginning, and if those who have never
tried this way of making toast win try
just once / think. they will be very will
ing to acknowledge that they did not
know before how to make good toast,
even though it seems very simple.
Cream Toast-A nice cream toast can
be quickly prepared by taking dozen
or more Of the crisp slices and dipping
each into hot milk or water and packing
them closely together to moisten them
through. Then take a sufficient guam
tity Of cream or new milk to cover the
whole nicely; boil, thicksn with little
flour or corn starch, flavor with little
salt and pour over the mass Of toast,
or dish over separate slices laid in saucers,
as preferred.
Cream Toast with Posched Eggs
Prepare toast as above, lay each slice
neatly in saucer before adding the
cream dressing, and then finish with
delicateIy poached egg. Eggs broken
into separate sauce dishes or patty pans
and steamed until the whites are
delicately set, will present a more sp-
petizing appearance than those prepared
by being dropped in water, and every
nurse knows that great deal depends
upon pleasing the eye Of the patient as
we'll as his palate.
Snow Flake Tosst-Ta one quart Of
milk, one-hah cup cream and little salt.
Mix a tablespoonful Of -four with little
Of the milk, and add when the milk Is
boiling hot. Let it cook until the -four
has no raw taste. Have ready the whites
of two eggs thoroughly beaten, and
after the milk and cream are well cooked,
stir in the whites Of the eggs lightly and
allow it to remain over the fire long
enough for the whites to coagulate-
about half a minute is long enough.
This quantity is sufficient for about
twelve slices of bread we'll toasted. Dip
the slices in hot milk, take out quickly
and pack together for about three
minutes, then pour this snow fake
mixture over them.-PhilGdelphiG

AA OOkto "a EOAAgs
How many women who consider them
selves good cooks really know how to
make toast? This seems to you avery
simple question, | dare say, and you think
me absurd for making such suggestion
as that anyone who can cook at all can
not make toast. have the courage,
nevertheless, TO ask the question.
I'll tell you the only proper way; you
shall try it, and then answer my question
yourself.
Cut stale loaf of bread into slices
and place them in hot oven until they
are delicate brown all the way through
when they will be- found deliciously
crisp and brittle. For household pur-
poses they can often be put on the top
CRATE during the time that other baking
is being carried on, thus economizing
both time and fuel.
When the bread is thoroughly Drowned
through, il you are making more than
you want to use Immediately, allow it TO
cool and pack away in tin bread box
where, if kept free from moisture, it
will keep for some time. This is an ex-
cellent plan, not only for general pur-
poses, but when the toast is to be used
for invslids' food, for it will hold it's
crispness two or three days and is ready
for use at moments notice.
Either brown bread or white bread
makes good toast, but graham bread is
to be preferred. There Is no more
nutritious or more useful food than toast
that can be made for a sick room, but 1t
must be made properly in order to be
this. The usual way of putting a slice
OF bread on fork, holding it over the
fire until brown on one side, then turn
ing to brown the other side, then
covering it with butter, or possibly moist
ening it and then covering it with melted
butter, is sure way to Indigestion il
taken by healthy stomach, and given
during illness when the digestive organs
are deprived Of their usual strength by
disease, it is simply barbarous.
Break slice of bread in pieces which
has been toasted by this general method
Of toasting-the surfaces are Drowned,
it is true, but the inside is converted
into the same condition as that Of new
bread. Toast to be most easily digested
should never be buttered, it covers up
the starch and saturates the gluten.
There are now regular coasters seen in
the stores. They are Skeeton-looking
affairs, square at the bottom and
diminishing toward the top until they
are about the size OF slice across

Hints for the Household.
A pinch Of salt added to the white Of
eggs will make them beat up quicker
and lighter
To make marking ink, take one drachm
Of nitrate of silver, one Of gum arabic,
one ounce Of rain or distilled water, and
mix until dissolved.
A tiny piece Of bicarbOnate Of soda
mixed with tomatoes that are to be
cooked with milk or cream will, il added
first, prevent the milk from curdling.
Old potatoes are greatly improved by
being soaked in cold water over night,
or at least several hours after peeling.
The water should be changed once or
twice.
Coarse brooms will cut carpet, and
although imperceptible at first, their
ravRges will at length show themselves
In the increased number Of shreds, espe-
olslly IL the carpet be velvet pile.
When ordering meats remember that
beef, when boiled, loses one pound of
weight in every four, and when roasted
eighteen ounces. Mutton loses even
more than beef. This should be thought
Of where much meat is used.
To make an excellent lavender water,
take one quart Of rectifed spirits Of wine,
two ounces Of essential oil of lavender,
and FIVE drachms Of essence Of amber
girls. Put all the ingredients into a
bottle and shake till they mix.
Banana -four has been lately adopted
in the manufacture Of yeast. From its
richness in starch and good flavor it is
particularly suitable for such purpose.
The yeast is Of good color and has the
requisite properties for keeping well.
Jewslry can be beautifully cleaned by
washing it In hot soapsuds to which a
few drops Of ammonia have been added,
and then shaking off the water and lay
ing the iewelry in box Of jewelers. saw
dust. This method leaves no marks or
scratches.
Empty pickle jars can be re6lled with
picked eggs. Boil one dozen eggs fifteen
minutes, then throw into cold water aud
shell them. Boil several red beets, slice
them, and put in the jar with the eggs.
Heat enough vinegar to cover the eggs,
add salt, pepper, and all kinds of spices,
and pour over the eggs Keep them
tightly covered.
Linens that have been stained by tea
or coffee may be clesnsed by moistening
the spots with water and holding them
over 5he fumes Of a small piece Of burn
ing sulphur or few sulphur matches.
Wash Immediately with water in which
little ammonia or soda has been dis
solved. Stains that nothing else will
remove are often taken out by the vapor
arising from burning sulphur, but the
material must be washed thoroughly at
once.
