Apple Custard--One pint of stewed
mashed apples, one pint of sweet
cream, four eggs, one cup of sugar
and little nutmeg. Bake slowly.
Corn Batter Cakes-One pint of
cornmeal, one pint of sour milk or
buttermilk, one egg, one teaspoonful
soda, one teaspoonfui salt, a table
spoonful of -four. Corn starch can be
used in place of egg. Bake on n
griddle.
Turnip Salad--A pretty and unusual
salad is made of French peas and Ber-
muda turnips, with mayonaise dress
ing. The insides of the turnips are
taken out, so that the vegetables form
shallow cups. These cups are placed
upon lettuce leaves, filled with the
peas, which cover with dressing.
Stewed Parsnips-Wash, scrape
and slice about half an inch thick /;
have a skillet prepared with one-half
pint of hot water and tablespoonful of
butter; add the parsnips, season with
salt and pepper, cover closely and
stew until water is cooked away, stir
ring occasionally TO prevent burning.
Eggs and Potatoes Scrambled
Slice six medium -sixed potatoes very
thin. Heat two tablespoonfuls of but
ter in a skillet, put in the potatoes and
let them brown; separate the yolks
from the whites of ten eggs (the whites
to be used in making the cake), stir
the yolks into the potatoes, season
with half a teaspoonful of salt, one
teaspoonful of minced parsley and half
a saltspoonful of white pepper, Stir
we'll until the egg is cooked; serve on
hot dish.
Rhubarb Blanc Mange-Cut the
rhubarb into half-inch pieces, leaving
the skin on. Put in stewpan and
cover thickly with granulated sugar.
Do not add any water; the Juice from
the rhubarb will soon flow, making
its own liquid. Thicken with corn
starch dissolved in cold water. The
amount of cornstarch depends upon
the juiciness of the rhubarb. Pour
into molds while hot. Serve when
cold with sweetened cream or whipped
cream. This is delicious.
Lettuce Soup--Chop up two heads
of lettuce and stew it with large
tablespoonful of butter, small half
teaspoonful of sugar and sixty drops
of vinegar. Keep stirring and do not
let it burn. Add a tablespoonful OF
flour, a saltspoonful of pepper and a
small teaspoonful of salt; break in two
eggs and stir well; then pour ON some
weak broth, allowing two gills for each
person Lay dice of stale bread in
the tureen; add half pint of cream
or milk to the soup Just before you
pour the boiling soup over the bread
Baked Chicken-Wash, scrape and
| quarter four parsnips; parboil twenty
minutes; prepare a fine chicken and
split open at back; place in a dripping,
pan, the skin side up, lay parsnips
around the chicken, sprinkle Will
salt aud pepper; add an egg-sized
lump of butter and two slices of salt
pork; put enough water in the pan t
prevent burning; place in oven anC
bake, basting frequently, until chicken
and parsnips are done delicat,
brown. Serve the chicken separated,
on a platter; place the parsnips in
dish and pour the strained gravy il

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.


Manure made in summer wastes
much faster than it does in winter.
The warm weather hastens its decom.
position. But it is easy to prevent
serious loss by keeping the excrement
piled and so covered with earth that
no ammonia can escape. Where cows
are allowed to lie in the barnyard dur.
ing the night, much Of their liquid ex.
crement is wasted. All such wastes
detract from the profit of dairying,
when as milk and butter prices now
are, the most must be made of every
thing to keep the balance on the side
of profit.

Drunkenness degrades a man and drags
h...l to level lower than the beast. The
likeness of a man to God is blOtted out by
this sin. All that is noble in man comes
from his soul. The men who have lived
the best lives and done the most good in
the world are those who have subdued
their passions. Statistics tell us tn 1t
three-fourths of the crimes committed gre
done while under the influence of strong
drink. SiXty-iive per cent. of the cOnvic-
tions for crimes can be traced & drink, and
a large per cent. of the poverty throughout
the land.

put into it cloth saturated with kero-

How to Overcome the Clothes Moth

Everything about the house that
might conceal a moth should be thor
oughly shaken and aired, and when
possible the clothes and furs should
be left in the sun for some hours. II
the house is badly infested, or any
particular article is supposed TO he so,
free use of benzine will be advisable.
All the floor cracks and dark closets
should be sprayed with this substance.
Benzine spray will kill the insects at
every stage, and is one of the few sub
stances which will destroy the eggs.
No light should be brought into the
room while the benzine is being ap.

The Attorney-General Of Massachu-
sets has rendered an opinion that the
new law intended toprohibit the wear
ing of the feathers or bodies Of birds
for personal adornment does not apply
to birds taken or killed elsewhere
than in the Bay State. en- other
words, adds the New York Mail and
Express, lit is a prohibitory law that
fails to prohibit, while preventing bird
slaughter-and especially the slaugh-
ter Of song birds-for millinery pur-
poses within the borders of that com
monwealth. Birds are migratory
beings, and the Massachusetts, bird of
to-day may be the New York, Rhode
Island or Connecticut bird of to-mor-
row. The new law will never be
worth much until it prohibits importa-
ton and sale from other States.

of phenomena which have been oh.

The Atlanta Journal says: Spain
may have soon regretted the sale of
Florida, and France the sale of the
splendid empire known in history as
Louisiana" but Russia surely did
not expect to regret the sale to this
country of half-frozen Alaska She
sold it for $1,000, 900. At the time it
was thought that Russia had the best
end Of the bargain, although she
claimed she parted with Alaska be-
cause of her friendship for this coun-
try, and her belief that we should con-
troll American territory. The land
thus sold was held by right of dis
covery. It was first seen by Captain
Boring without the HI, q Dane, en-
ployed by Peter the Great. This was
in 1741, and Russia held it until its
transfer to us in 1867. Ever since that
time it has attracted attention. It
has been a rendezvous of prospectors.
It's seal herds became q source Of
wealth. Coal was soon found. Valu-
able timber, in the southwestern dis
tricts, was located, followed by discoy-
cries of silver and gold, and even Of
petroleum-the upkindliest cut of all,
for Russia is very proud Of her gush-
ing petroleum wells. Alaska is indeed
q land Of mineral deposits. True, the
Klondike district is over the line; but
the prospecting that Alaska will soon
be subjected to, will doubtless lead to
the finding Of rich additional placers
within the boundary meridian. Next
season it is not at all improbable that
a single vessel will bring to Seattle OF
San Francisco as much gold as Sec
rotary Seward bargained to pay for all
Alaska. We bought wealth locked in
by frosts, and American skill, endur,
ance and courage-working perhaps
under a cabin that serves at the same
time as dining room and bedroom
have broken natures locks and brought
to the use Of mankind the wealth tina
has been accommodating ever since
Alaska became dry land.

What a Steamship Carries.

The famous steamship Great East
ern, historically associated with the
first efforts to lay Atlantic telegraph
cables, has hitherto been regarded rs
the largest vessel ever launched. It's
laurels as a sea leyiathan, however,
are of late endangered. The new
ocean freighter, Pennsylvania, al
though scarcely attaining the external
measurements Of the former celebrated
ship, will carry far more cargo. The
capacity, indeed, of these new freight
ships is a matter for establishment to a
landsman.
The Pennsylvania, for example, is
rated at twenty thousand tons burden,
and will carry loads such as may be
briefly itemized thus:
One hundred and sixty thousand
bushels of wheat, equal to 800 car
loads, OF sixteen trains of twenty cars
each; 1000 tons of -four, eighty car
loads; 1000 boxes of bacon, seventy.
five car loads; 5000 tierces of lard,
forty-eight car loads; 1900 bales of
COCUOu3 4OIty CuI lOdOoj l, AOO uGdu VI
live cattle, eighty car loads; $500
quarters of dressed beef.
In addition there will probably be a
thousand tons of miscellaneous mer-
chandise, say eighty car loads more;
in all not less than $50 car loads, OF
thirty-nine long trains of twenty cars
each.
Nor is the above by any means the
entire load of the modern ark. The
Pennsylvania will have accommoda-
tions for from eight hundred to one
thousand steerage passengers, as also
for a crew of one hundred and fifty
cattlemen, with food and fodder for
all In the fuel bins, too, there will
be carried burden Of 1900 tons Of
coal, or more than 100 car loads.
If we were to say that the entire
agricultural products of sixty New
England towns, on twenty western
counties, could all be slowed away in
this mammoth ship, we should not
exceed the facts. Atlanta Constitu

10 insolvency. It's uSstlA cOuhlsleu OF
mortgaged right Of way through the
sagebrush and Several completed but
detached sections Of big ditch.
Mr.. Brick Whalen, the contractor
on section three, had finished the
heavy work there and was preparing to
move camp TO section six when the
company went broke. 1t was, in fact,
upon the very day the suspension was
posted that Whalen, having had his
contract work inspected took the en-
gineer's certificate up to headquarters
to get his check He received instead
a statement that the company was in
temporary difficulties and an assurance
that it would soon resume.
Whalen had before this worked for
shaky corporations; he knew better,
and lost no time in acting on his
knowledge.
''No good howlin' over a broken
pipe or tryin to save the pieces" he
told himself. To his gang of twenty
men, he said: "B'ys, the company's
broke and so am L can't pay We
and 1 can't feed We. You got to rus
tie.
Whats the matter with us taking
the mules?" said one.
"Them mules and scrapers don't
belong to me, as I've often told We,
said Whalen, whose custom it was to
refer to a Legendary hacker. "This
ditching outfit is the property of Mar
tin, of San Francisco, and any man
that NEEDLES with it will get the Sher-
if after him."
"I'll take one, just the same" said
Shorty, "and tell Martin he can have
him again when my wages is paid.
That's about fair. "
A few others took the same view OF
the equities involved, and took mules,
to which Whalen made only a wordy
resistance. Most of the men were in,
duced to accept orders ON the deiunct
company for the amount due them
payable with large interest. "And il
you don't get it very soon, the interest
will double your money, " said Whalen
When the last man had gone
Whalen went out to the corral anC
counted the mules. 'Forty-ont
head; that was pretty close call,
said lie.
It was late in the season to find an
other job of scraping, but the mules
could not live on sagebrush and Wert
at once started for the railroad. Oh
small stream where camp was mad
one night, a band of trail sheep wa
also camped. Whalen eyed them dis
painfully.
1T see the beggars eat sage, " said he
'rWhy, certainly" replied tn
sheep-man, "thats the finest kind 0
feed for sheep"
81 wish worl-mules would do that,
said Brick. 81 never was so near
sheep in my life, " he continued; th
smell of 'em a mile away is enoug
for me. Funny little fellows, an
they look some like mules, with ear
and tails cut off. What do you d
with them?"
"Double our money on them ever
twelve months, was the reply.
No extended description of sheer
farming would have impressed tn
fancy Of the veteran mule-skinner, bu
"double your money" was his ow
familiar phrase for describing an
hopeful venture, and on that eyenin
he smoked many pipes Of black plu
over it. A brute that can thrive on
brush diet and double your none
