A Movement For Currency Reform.

The Massachusetts Reform club of
Boston has commenced a systematic
movement for practical currency reform.
1t has recently passed formal resolutions
demanding that congress shall adopt
some safe plan whereby our legal ten
der paper and silver and oar silver GER
tificates shall be slowly withdrawn, and
gold, gold certificates ard bank notes
shall gradually take their places" They
further advocate ''such legislation as
will encourage the establishment and
successful operation of small banks with
local capital and knowledge of credits. !"
These resolutions are being sent
throughout the country, accompanied by
a statement setting forth the views of
the club and requesting every friend
Of currency reform to sign the resolu-
tions and send them to congress.
This movement is exactly in line with
the action of the Indianapolis confer
ence, which was to impress congress
with the fact that there is an over
whelming public sentiment in favor of
currency reform. Chicago Times Her

MISS PAREoA ON SOUPS.
The French Housekeeper's Way Of Making
Them Described In q Lecture.

Ine Frencn HOusekeepers way OF MAKING
Them Described In Lecture.
Economy is the watchword Of the
French people," said Miss Parloa in her
talk upon the characteristics of French
cookery at the New York Young Wom-
| ans Christian association, "and the
French housekeeper, no matter how
simple the dish, excels in the making of
it. The market prices are much higher
in France than here, butter and sugar
costing more than as much again. One
may buy half lemon or part Of car
rot, and it is not thought unusual, and
only sufficient quantity is purchased to
supply each meal, and an unexpected
guest is never provided for. "
Miss Parloa added that roasting and
broiling are hardly known among
the working classes, and pastry is
made only in the kitchens of the very
wealthy. An American housewife may
take the lead in the making of dainty
and fancy desserts, but to French
woman the making of soups and sauces
is the most important part of the cook
cry.
The following simple soup is said to
be savory and delicious: Put 8 table
spoonfuls of butter or meat fat in 81 soup
kettle and pour over it quarts of wa
ter. Let it cook 10 minutes before add
ing pint of potatoe cut into cubes
and s leeks washed and sliced thin.
Add teaspoonful of salt and third
of pepper and allow this to cook very
slowly one hour. Break slices of stale
bread into pieces and put in the soup
tureen, and turn the soup over it when
cooked the required length of time.
A French vegetable soup is made thus:
Cut large onion into thin slices and
put them in pan with tablesroonfuls
of butter. Let them simmer together
half an hour and add quarts of water
Have prepared pint of white turnips
cut into cubes. the same amount of po-
tatoes, half pint of carrots, half pint
Of the white part of the leek cut into
thin slices. Add Glove of garlic, an
eschalot. a teaspoonful of sugar, one
third of a teaspoonful of pepper and salt
and cook slowly an hour, adding some
chopped parsley 15 minutes before the
soup is removed from the fire. This soup
may also be used for a vegetable puree
by pressing it through a coarse sieve,
and to pint Of the thick soup add
pint of boiling milk.
A paste for thickening sauces is kept
at hand for constant use. Here is the
way to make one that will keep long
time: Cut equal amounts of beef, veal
and pork suet in small pieces. Put them
in a kettle with very little water and
slowly render. Turn off the first fat,
and when very hot stir in -four until it
forms thick paste-about a pint Of
-four to pint Of liquid fat. Put these
into graniteware vessel and place in
an oven and cook three to four hours.
Keep in glass jars covered.

Credit For Farmers.

We have lately given some account Of
the operation of agricultural banks in
Europe, which have done very much for
the farming class by making it possible
for it to secure loans on such security as
farmers can offer. The farmer is espe-
cially in need of credit, for the interval
must always be considerable between
the preparation of the soil and the har-
vesting of the crop. He must spend
money long time before he can get
any back. AS to most of his products, he
may be said to be carrying on a bust
ness where the stock is turned over but
once year. Furthermore, as crop
natures all over the country at the same
season, and generally within period of
a few weeks, it is particularly impor-
tant to the farmer that he should not be
compelled to realize on his harvests i'm
mediately. He would break the market
if he were obliged to sell all his crops
as soon as gathered, and yet he must
sell good deal, for he has been under
expense for months without any income.
While the farmer more than almost
any other producer needs credit, he can
not generally offer commercial security,
and real estate is not good security for
ordinary banks of discount to take, and
it is unlawful for our national banks to
accept it, The result is that the farmer
is usually compelled to sell his produce
at an unpropitious time or to get credit
of merchants and private bankers for
which usurious rates are obtained. In
this country there has been practically
no effort to supply this need for agricul-
tural credits, although the brokers and
private bankers and factors who have
made practice of lending to farmers
have made great deal Of money out of
it, for the absence Of competition en-
ables them to get high rate for money,
and the farmer pretty generally pays his
debts.
It is singular that in our own country
NO effort has been made to afford agri-
culture in general the capital it needs
for the improving of land and for carry
ing on farm operations during the long
intervals between the annual marketing
of crops. The changed conditions of the
times make it imperative that farming
must be conducted upon more scientific
principles SO as to get out Of the land
more than it has heretofore produced,
and that necessity leaves no alternative
but either to afford the farmer enlarged
credit facilities or to leave the present
landholders to be frozen out by insolv-
ency, with the result of transferring this
industry to a class possessing ampler
means and able to cultivate larger farms
upon improved methods. journal Of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin.

A Crow That Ate CLAIMS.

A Calm Thief.

There was brief but engrossing in
cident in woman's life the ether day,
and she has not realized yet the full de-
tails of situation which stunned her
completely for the few minutes it lasted.
She had gone into one Of the big depart
ment stores up town and was standing
at a counter waiting for the girl to at
tend to her. Then she felt wOman's
hand in her pocket Involuntarily she
seized her skirt and was fortunate
enough to catch the woman s hand. This
happened in a second, and none of the
women about her had noticed the Incl
dent. The pickpocket struggled to free
her hand, while the other woman chung
to her wrist not with any desire to ar
rest her or even to retain her, but merely
with the feeling that she was doing
something. Neither had spoken word.
The first to act was the pickpocket Her
hand was still held. and, with pretense
of grasping the other woman s hand, she
cried out:
"This woman is trying to rob me-
Everybody turned to look at the two,
and in her establishment the woman let
60 the thief's hand. The thief drew her
hand suddenly out Of the pocket, and
while those about them were gaping at
the innocent woman she darted through
and escaped. The other woman's head
swan, and there was dark shadow in
front Of her eyes for a second. But the
women about her realized the true stu
alton in a moment, and their sympathy
was all for her. They helped her to re-
cover her composure and get into the
open air as'soon as possible. New York

LONDON IN 1879.
It Was Considered a Joke to Turn Cattle
Into Ballroom.

Into a Ballroom.
Can any one tell me anything Of the
city assembly rooms and the assembly
rooms on the Surrey side. e., South
wark-about the year 1772? The social
side of the city about that time is curl
ously difficult to get at satisfactorily.
For instance, when Catherine Hutton
went to London in 1888, being then 81
years of age, she went with a certain
Mr.. J. Woodhouse and his mother. They
called for her at 1880 in the evening,
the gentleman being dressed in suit
of pale blue French silk, spotted with
pink and green, the coat lined with
pink silk, his hair in a bag, white
feather in his hat, a sword by his side
and his rufae and frill of fine point lace.
This seems very splendid. At the as
sembly the men were chiefly in "dress
coats meaning probably of blue or
pink silk, like that of Mr.. Woodhouse.
Those who were not wore 'cloth coats,
trimmed with narrow gold lace, with
waistcoats of silver TISSUE and the
hair Gin a cue, with curls flying out
on each side of the head"
The other ladies were covered with
diamonds. The subscription to the city
assembly is guineas. There are 200
subscribers and late nights. The sub
scribers are the first people in the city.
The rooms are lighted with wax. The
branches for the candles, the urns for
the tea and coffee and the baskets for
the cakes and macaroons are of silver I
want to know more about this assem-
bly,.
AS regards the Surrey assembly, all
can tell you about it is that the room
was on the ground floor, and that on
certain night-the opening night of the
season of 1772 (?)-while the dancing
was at it's height some wag threw open
the front door and gave admission to a
drove of oxen, which began to run about
in a most terrifying manner. Some of
the men drew their swords valiantly,
others tumbled down. The ladies faint
ed and fell over the men. Caps, hoops
tippets, handkerchiefs, were lying all
about the floor, and the oxen beloved
and ran about, threatening with their
horns. What would have happened one
knows not. But "the sprightly Mrs

by Webster as strong malt drink
snatched from the master of the cere-
monies his mopstick-did the M. G. Oh
the Surrey side carry a mopstick as a
wand of office?-and, with SO much
spirit belabored the horny tribe that
they fled incontinent.
When the company gathered them
selves together and picked up what they
could, being horribly dishevelled, amid
the general wreck-hoops gone, wigs
pulled to pieces, headgear destroyed,
dresses torn-they proceeded, suspect,
to refresh themselves with the sprightly
Mrs. HAMMERS stimulating bub. If
any one will tell me more about this
assembly, I shall be grateful. Wal

On Indian Missions.

them as follows to Duluth Tribune

''The Indian missions interested me

the wonderful work that has been done
among the Indians by Rev. J. A. Gill

the past twenty-three years, and has
given his life and means to the work.
I have been told that Rev. Gilfillan in
herited a large fortune from an uncle,
and that it is generally supposed he
has used this in his work for the up
lifting of the red men. Such unselfish
devotion in any cause is rare. The In

that every last deadbeat was in his

wandered far away to the time when
he should die, and his editorial soul
would go scooting to the sky, when
he'd roam the fields of paradise and
sail DER jasper seas, and all things
glorious would combine his every

he'd look across the gulf dark and
drear that'll yawn between his happy
