DRY GOODS.
A CLEAN STOCK.

Success in business demands this of all sue
cessiu business houses All business mon are
not moulded alike. Penuriousness with some
merchants is responsible for premature closing
and reputation. Some merchants never ad-
vertise and some merchants never take bath. .
How can merchant keep clean stock with
no methods of notification to the public? Adj
vertsing is expensive and profitable and
failure to advertise ones goods is sure fall
ure in all undertakings 1t is pleasing to
mention that nearly all small lots advertised
in preceding issues have been sold. Do you
expect to find new goods with the non.
advertiser?

Green Pea and Tomato Soup; Sal
mon a la Victoria, Hollanda Sauce;
Asparagus in Crusts; French Fruit
Salad Rich Strawberry Shortcake;
Potatoes en- Surprise.
Canned peas and tomatoes were
used in the soups. Rinse can of
peas in cold water and cook them
with two and one-half cups of toma
toes, three cups of hot water, two
slices of onion, bit of bay leaf and
ten peppercorns for 20 minutes. Rub
through a strainer and thicken with
three level tablespoonfuls each of
flour and butter. Add salt, pepper and
one-quarter teaspoonful of soda, also
a little sugar if liked Strain and serve
with croutons which are made by but
tering stale slices of bread, cutting
them into small cubes and crisping in
a moderate oven.
The slices of fish should be wiped
over and the skin and bone taken out.
Cut into pieces suitable for serving.

1.-The life of gravy" and never use wa
ter. Don't make stutfing of sopped
bread, and never use butter. Try two
cupfuls of the crumbs of a stale loaf
rubbed with one of finely chopped
suet, fresh or dried thyme and parsley
and pepper and salt to taste. Mix
well, break an egg over all, and stir
into paste with a fork. Make into

show you the stop side of the round"
of beef and you will see as nice-look-
ing meat as possible, but only about
twelve cents per pound. From this
have cut stake of double thickness,
and, as it will not be tender when
broiled, use for "mOck duck which,
by your careful superintendent, may
be made as tender as the youngest
real bird. Fry a cupful of sliced
onions to a golden brown, and see
that they are tender; mix with cup
full of bread crumbs; flavor with sage,
marioram, pepper and salt; moisten
with very little stock; place this in
the beef, roll and tie with strips of
muslin, and sew up or skewer the
ends. Put on a stand in covered
stewpan with enough boiling water
to simmer gently for forty-fve min
utes to each pound. Remove from
stewpan when cool enough to handle.
Cover with egg and bread crumbs, and
brown in a hot oven. Cut in slices and
serve with brown gravy. The onions
may be boiled if preferred.
Onion Sauce.-Boil about six white
onions until soft, change the water
once, drain when tender, cover with
milk, boil up, salt to taste, mash and
strain through a hot collander over
the joint. 1t mingles with the dish
gravy when slices of mutton are cut,
and is savory and slightly.
Hamburg Steak.-While we are
discussion the round of beef, do not
forget that this makes delicious pre-
pared steak; if properly broiled, and
rubbed while hot with a little sweet
butter, there will be plenty of good
dish gravy.
