Feminine Blasphemy.

In the town Of Hanover, Germany,
there is buried German countess who
denied the existence of God and ridi-
culed the idea Of the resurrection. 10
farther show her contempt for Chris
tianity she ordered that on her death
her grave should be built Of solid ma
sonry and covered by large stones
bound together by iron clamps. On
this tomb was engraved her defiant
challenge that through eternity this
tomb should never be disturbed. But
one day the seed from some tree, either
blown by the wind or carried by a
bird, became lodged in small crevlce
of the tomb, where soon it sprouted
and began to grow. And then, as If
nature had seemed to mock the haugh-
ty infdel, she quietly extended the
delicate roots of that seeding under
the massive blocks of stone and slowly
raised them from their place. And
now, although scarce four generations
are passed since the tomb was sealed,
that most insignificant seed has accom-
plished what God Himself was chal-
lenged to accomplish.

Waste Not, Want Not.

Should be the motto of every good
housekeeper, and if care is given to the
little details there is absolutely moth
ing in the way of food but can be
utilized.
Perhaps, for many of our readers,
there is nothing more difficult to man
age than broken bread. We draw this
conclusion from several letters re-
ceived from our subscribers, the bur-
den of which is, "How can l use the
broken pieces of bread and yet not set
before my family that detested dish
called bread pudding?' | must con-
fess that l, too, have an antipathy to
that dish, and have found that it was
necessary to combine with it 50 many
other expensive materials that I~pre-
fer to use the bread for other purposes.
With bread so much broken that it
cannot be toasted in slices, | use the
small pieces for croutes, or small slices
of fried bread, and serve them in clear
soups To be very nice the crusts
should be Drowned in smoking hot
butter and drained on paper, but |
know one family, of moderate means
and time, who simply dry the little
bits of bread in the oven and then use
them. Other pieces of bread may be
dried in a slow oven, crushed with a
rolling pin, and when we'll powdered
used in place of cracker dust for bread
ing chops, croquettes, etc. The best
way to prepare the crumbs is to pass
them through sieve after crushing,
put the finest into a jar and keep the
rest for stufing, baking macaroni, etc.
Mullins and buns left over from break
fast can be cut into thin slices, toasted
and buttered for luncheons. Broken
pieces of bun and stale cake are just
the things for cabinet pudding for
which we will give recipe.
l must tell my readers Of another
nice way to use the crumbs, told me
by a lady living in the country, who
found herself at the time without eth
er bread or flour in the house. She
put into her frying-pan two large ia
blespoonfuls of butter, and when melt
ed covered the bottom Of the pan to
the depth Of an inch with dry bread
crumbs. These she seasoned with pep
per and salt, and poured enough boil
ing water over them to moisten them.
Care must be taken not to use too
much water, as it will make the crumbs
pasty; another point, the crumbs must
be well seasoned or they will be taste
less. The pan was then covered, and
left on the back of the stove for ten
minutes, after which it was brought
forward and the contents allowed to
brown, which required but a few mo-
ments. The result was very appe-
tizing dish and one that, with the ad-
dition of a layer of rich preserves, was
often utilized as a dessert.

Dog Farms in China.

In Manchuria and all that part OF
China adjoining Mongolia there are
thousands of farms devoted exclusive
ly to dog raising. At each of these
establishments several hundred dogs
are kept, which are killed by strang-
ulation when they are 8 months old,
usually toward the middle Of winter.
AT that time their skin is covered with
very fine hair, and from these skins
are made winter clothes for the inhab-
liant. of the celestial empire. The
dogs furnishing these skins are en-
tirely different from the breed of dogs
known here or in Europe, and their
fur is said TO be so long haired and
close on account Of the extreme cold
in that region.
These fur dogs constitute the only
wealth of this desolate country, and
the only dowry given to the daugh-
tiers of these farmers consists ola num-
Der of dogs. The value of the dogs
is about half dollar, and as it takes
eight fur dogs to make coat, such an
article is rather expensive.
Traffic in dog skins is centered IN
large cities like Moukden and Foo
Chow, where they are tanned. At
the 6rst-named place the amount of
dog skins handled last year repre-
sented half million dollars.
