Nun Rather than Wife.

Miss Matte McQuaid of Cleveland, o..
says she will become a nun because her
employer proposed marriage to her.
J. J. Denemark is the name of the
young man who has so curiously changed
the current of Miss McQuaid's life. He
is the chief stakeholder and manager Of
the Cleveland Electric Enlarging COM
pany. Miss McQuaid was his type
writer Mr.. Denemark being unmarried
and willing to change his condition in
that respect, discovered not only that his
typewriter was pretty but that she was
modest and intelligent as well, and that
there was every reason to believe that
she would make him an excellent wife.
He accordingly asked her to marry him.
To Miss McQuaid the proposition
seemed to come as something awful and
astounding. She was shocked beyond
measure. She refused instantly and
peremptorily and then she threw up
her position and left him.
Mr. Denemark after d few weeks man
aged TO induce her to come back, she
suppOSing that the managers madness
was. dead forever. But it was only slum-
boring. Denemark again confessed his
love and begged the girl to marry him.
Miss A1cQuaid this time seemed genuine
~ Mortified. She again refused him and
again left his service. The matter
seemed to rankIe strangely in her heart.
For 4 number Of days she seemed rest
less and disturbed. She had always
been of a religious turn of mind, and in
her perturbed condition her thoughts ran
in that direction Without a word of
warning she announced that she was go
ing to be a nun, and went out to the

NURSERY BISCUIT.
A Receipt that is Highly Recommended
by Competent Authority.

A Receipt that is Highly Recommended
by Competent Authority.
The following recipe for nursery bis
cult is taken from Womankind: Nursery
biscuits are highly recommended for the
younger members of the family. To make
them, set a sponge in the usual way,
say with one quart of milk-adding -four
to form a stiff batter; let it rise; when
raised, add one more quart of milk with
four ounces of sugar dissolved in it, also
the usual amount of salt. Then, for this
quantity, take one pound of arrowroot
and then add to it what flour you think
will with the aIrowroot form a rather
stiff dough; add half pound of butter
and rub it in very firm; break down the
sponge with the other quart of milk
break it down very fine; then add the
flour, arrOWrOot, etc, and mix. When
mixed either knead it very fine or pass
it through rollers; let it raise, then knead
or break down again, as the dough must
be very fine. When again raised, break
it up into One-ounce pieces, mould them
ND nice and clear-overhand moulding
set them on a board, wash them with wa
ter: then place them on level baking pans,
set the pans in boxes, turn another box
over them and let them prove up light,
but not light enough to fall in the bak
ing When proved bake in a steady heat;
they must be fully baked. When baked.
place them away to dry right through-a
dry proven would be best-when dry they
are ready for use. To use them, put one
in a teacup, cover it with lukeWarm wa
ter; let it remain until plumbed up, then
add milk, sugar, honey or what is needed,
and with a spoon beat it into pulp; it is
then ready for the infant. If properly
made, one of them should pulp up and
fill Il large teacup.

LOOK AFTER THE PENNIES.
One Cents Difference i'm an Account RI
Quires Seven Years Work.


Quires Seven Years Work.
Two cases of a single cent bothering
the whole treasury department at Wash
ington came to light the other day. When
Grover Cleveland went out of the white
house on March the accounting officers
of the treasury found they owed him 1
penny, the accumulation of fractions of
Il cent shaved off the forty-eight monthly
vouchers paid him during his presidential
term. 1t took three months for the war
rant TO go through the circuitous chan
nels of the red tape system
But more remarkable case of marvel
Gus treasury bookkeeping was developed
today by the settlement of a balance in
volving single copper cent, which had
puzzled the bookkeeping experts for
seven years. As long ago as 1890 con-
troversy arouse between the treasury de-
partment and the auditor of the post
office over shortage of 1 cent.
An Investigating committee took up his
accounts infinitely. and at last discovered
that many years ago the diSbursing Off
Ger had credited himself with an odd
cent. and the shortage was his. Prompt
naVInent was made

OLD-TIME SWEETNESS GONE.
MOlasses is Now Made Into Rum and
brown Sugar Can't be Bought


THE old-fashioned molasses is rapidly
disappearing as an article of commerce"
said prominent grocer, land in its
place have come a number of syrups,
which are more costly and by no means
as satisfactory, especially to the little
ones, who delight, as we did when we
were young, in having lasses on their
bread. MosC of the molaSseS goes into
the distillerieS, where it is made into
rum, for which, Notwithstanding the eff
forts of our temperance workers, the de-
mand is constantly on the increase, espe-
cially in the New England states and for
the export trade The regular drinker
of rum will take no other liquors in its
place if he can help it. 1t seems to reach
the spot more directly than any ether
dram. The darker brown sugars have
also disappeared, and they are not likely
to return, owing to the methods of boil
ing and the manufacture. Granulated
sugar is of the same composition, as far
as saccharine qualities are concerned, as
loaf, cut loaf cube. and crushed, and diff
fers from them only in that its crystals
do not cohere. This is because it is con-
stantly stirred during the process of
cryStaliZatiOn. The lighter brown sugars
taste SWeeter than the white. for the rea-
sen that there IS some molaSSeS in them.
HOusekeepers have difficulty these days
in finding coarse. dark sugars, which are
always preferred for use in putting up
sweet pickles, making cakes, and similar
uses. AS they cannot get brown sugar
any more. it may be we'll for them to re-
member that they can simulate brown
sugar by adding 4 teaspoonful of mo-
lasses to each quarter of a pound of the
white graduated sugar. This combina-
ton does as we'll in all household receipts
that call for brown sugar as the article
itself, and besides it saves them great
deal of hunting for brown sugar, which,
as said before, has disappeared from the
market "-EaStnOrt Sentinel
