Cream of Barley,

Place q well-washed neck of mutton
in saucepan, add two quarts cold water
and half cupful barley (the coarse kind
is the best for this). set saucepan over
the fire, and when it boils add one
onion, half cupful fine cut celery, half
white turnip, half small carrot, two
sprigs of parsley and half tablespoons
full salt. Cover the saucepan tightly
and boil slowly, till the meat separates
from the bone; then strain the broth,
remove every particle of fat. Season
to taste with salt. Mix the yolk of one
egg in a small saucepan with three
tablespoonfuls of cream; add half pint
of the above broth, stir over the fire till
nearly boiling. Care must be taken
not to let it boil. This soup is nourish-
ing and delicious. The broth may be
served plain, with little milk or cream,
or without it; what is left can be set
in a cool place; it will keep for several
days.-St. Louis Republic.

When people are sick, ailing or out of order,
they desire to take a remedy highly recon-

hence the magnificent testimonials and recon-
mendations of DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy by our most prominent and we'll
known people in public and private life, in
fuence everybody to use this acknowledged
greatest and grandest of medicines. We now
add to the list of well-known people cured by
DIR. Greene's Neryura, the famous composer
of that most popular national song, "The
Soldier Boy in Blue" Harry 1. Hunt, who
has appropriately dedicated his song of the
American soldier to Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
Commander of the U. S. Army. Mr.. Hunt

WEDDING INVITATIONS.
The Correct Form of the Day in
Fashionable Circles.

The correct rOT" OA A(eAy AAA
Fashionable Circles.
Wedding invitations have greatly
changed in the past few months. The
fashionable wedding invitation Is no
longer printed on the sheet of note
paper which folds to fit square en-
velope, the sheet now used for that
purpose being Gh inches long and 81
wide, thereby requiring an oblong en-
velope. The paper has smooth, dull
finish, like parchment, instead OF the
former glazed surface. The script on
the new invitations is about the same
size as that on the old ones, and the
words and lines are brought rather
nearer together. so that the wording
occupies the center of the sheet, with
wide margins about it, while some peo-
pie even use what is termed the para
graph form, in which the words run
straight along, instead of being ar
ranged in lines of varying lengths. and
the result is quite good.
The wording of a wedding invitation,
by the way, does not always receive the
attention which it should. For
church wedding the parents Of the
bride request the "honor of your pres
ence," whereas for home wedding
the pleasure of your company" is
asked. Then, again, for home we'd
ding, the name of the guest is often
inserted, such as Mr.. and Mrs. William
Tompkins request the pleasure OF
company at the marriage
of their daughter. Of course, as this
latter form more closely resembles
personal invitation, it is more of
compliment to the guest. At very
stylish wedding recently the parents
of the bride simply requested the "hon-
or of your presence at the marriage of
their daughter at Grace church." her
name being omitted entirely, though
the calling cards of both bride and
groom were inclosed.
The invitation to the wedding break
fast or reception is about the same as
those of last year, save that the cards
are trifie more oblong. The wedding
announcement is printed on the same
kind of note paper as the wedding in
vitation, the simple card no longer be-
ing considered good form, though if it
is used it should be oblong and about
81 inches wide, and 81 inches from
top to bottom.-San Francisco Chron-
St.le

Point in Preserving Fruit.

A very good authority ON fruit pre-
serving considers that the plan followed
by many housekeepers, of using small
proportion of sugar. and in consequence
boiling the preserve longer. is fallacy,
as the more sugar used the greater the
bulk of preserve obtained, less being
wasted in long boiling and evaporation,
while the flavor of the fruit is more re-
tanned. A quick fire should be used,
and, of course, the preserve continual
1y stirred, the skum being taken off as it
rises. To judge if the preserve has
boiled long enough drop a little into
a glass of cold water. If it does not
spread or mix, it is done enough. Or
another wayis to drop little on plate.
If it does not run on the plate, it is suf-
tieiently boiled and should at once be
poured.-Boston Budget.

DOGS KILL A DOG.
How Animals Dispose of Injured

How Animals Dispose of Injured
Companions.
A. C. Heningcr tells in the American
Field how an old fox hound was done
to death by the pack of which it WAS
member. The hound was called Clay,
and was owned by n. o. Pope, who kept
it in the White OaNHill kennel at Po-
land, Me. The dog was prize taker.
and always got place when it ran in
the annual trials of the Brunswick Fur
club. After the annual hunt at Bruins
wick, Me-, in which Clay proved bet
ter than all the younger hounds, the
dog was taken back to Poland and
put in the yard with the rest of the
pack. McGregor, keeper of the hounds,
heard q row in the yard, and coming
down, found that the pack had pitched
upon the champion hound and killed
it by chewing its throat and chest.
Wolves have been known to kill their
fellows in a similar manner. A wolf
showing signs of pain is set upon and
killed by it's comrades. A male fox.
when it finds female fox in trap,
attacks and kills it. A COW believing
with pain is set upon by the herd and
gored to death. Whether the attacks
are to aid the one in pain or not is not
known by students of natural history.
