tons: One-half a cupful of molasses,-
one-half a tablespoonful of ginger, one
saltspoonful of salt, one-half tea
spoonful of soda, one tablespoonful OK
clarified beef-dripping-o you may
use butter, though the dripping is the
fourth of a cupful of hot
water, boiling, and one cupful Of -four.
The ginger, soda and salt are added to-
the molasses; the softened dripping is
then put in, and the mixture beaten
well; next the boiling water is added,
then the flour; beat again thoroughly,
pour into a well-greased shallow pan.,
and bake in a hot oven. 1t will take
about twenty minutes to bake the loaf.

A Camp COOking-Fire.

Let us suppose that the party is pro-
vided with the necessary Utensils for
camp cooking-a camp-kettle, coffee
pot. frying-pan, saucepan, and some
kind of baking pan. These should
prove sufficient, unless the party in
tends having quite elaborate menus.
If it is intended to remain at the camp
only while cooking one or two meals,
make your fire in this manner: Cut
two green poles about five or six inch
es thick and about two feet long. In
these, cut nOtches about foot apart
Level the ground where you intend to
build your fire, and lay these poles
down with the notches up, and about
three feet apart Now cut two or three
poles about four feet long and lay
them in these notches. Gather good
supply of dry wood, grass, bark, o.
chips, and make your fire on the
ground between the poles. The air
will circulate under and through the
fire, and the poles will prove just right
to set your cooking utensils on. Do
not pile on wood by the armful. Add
little at a time, and you will find
you can cook rapidly and we'll, and not
burn your face and hands while at
tending to your cooking.
If it is intended to remain several
meals at the camp it will pay you to
put up crane. This is built in this
manner; Cut two green posts two or
more inches thick and three feet long,
having forks at one end. Drive these
into the ground at each end Of your
fire. Cut another green pole the same
diameter, and long enough to reach
between the forks. Flatten the ends
so that they will set snug in the forks.
The poles should be driven into the
ground so that when the bail Of the
kettle is slipped on the crane the bot
tom of he kettle will just clear the fire.

The corporal hesitated as his lieu
tenant dropped, but the report was Of
consequence, and it was no use dying
beside his officer. So he rode on with

The Statue Apollo.

The celebrated statue Apollo stands
in the Belvedere of the Vatican at
Rome, and thence derives the names
by which it is generally identified. 1t
is in marble, but brief consideration OF
it shaWs that the original modelling
was for bronze, the thin hanging gar
ment from the left arm being suitable
for metal, so easily capable Of being
worked into thin sheets, and not in the
least for marble, which lends itself bet
ter to other uses. The hair, which is
in separable locks, is another proof to
the same end, though unneeded. The
outstretched arm is usually supposed
to hold bow in the hand, while the
open palm of the right hand indicates
that an arrow has just been discharg-
ed, the eye seeming to follow it in it's
flight. But the attitude is clearly not
that of a bowman who has thrown his
whole strength and skill into his shot
at the mark, but is rather that Of one
accustomed to admiration at an arch
cry contest. The god is self-conscious.
Instead, too, of showing the distinctly
modelled muscles, which belong to the
divinity which impersonates manly
vigor and agility, his body and limbs
have their strength refined away, until
nothing but grace is left, not even
truth.
The sister statue, known Indifferent
ly as the Diana of the Louvre or the
Artemis of Versailles, is of the same
period, and may be from the same
hand. 1t also, was originally intend
ed for bronze rather than marble. The
attitude is the familiar one of reaching
back to the culver on the right should
er for an arrow, the left hand resting
on the head of small deer. This last,
being altogether disproportionade to
the figure Of the goddess, as we'll as
merely conventional in it's treatment,
betrays weakness, to be seen further
in the turning back, unnecessarily of
the drapery at the left knee.-San
Francisco Examiner.

Quickly Made Cistern.

Have cistern that will supply water
on rainy days at least. This will pre-
vent exposure to the storm. Three bar
rels mounted in corner of the barn
as shown in the cut will hold enough
for the stock during all storms, for
while the storm lasts the barrels will be
replenished. A pipe from the gutter is
brought inside the boarding to the first
barrel. and conveyed to any number
of others in the manner shown. A tub,
with faucet, is placed below the last
barrel. This plan is a great advance
over driving stock out in the rain. A
still better plan, on farms where it is
possible, is to bring the water into the
barn by pipe from a spring or brook.
It may also be brought into the barn
by pipe laid from nearby we'll, hay
ing a pump in the barn. The comfort
and the saving Of time and labor by

THE PURITAN MAID.

Hangs her picture on the wall,
Where the sunbeams lightly fall;
IO'er her seated at the wheel,
Softly, tenderly, they steal;
I'Neath her cap so plain and white,
Shine her curls of golden light.
Face of rose leaf tinted hue,
Eyes like violets kissed by dew,
Gravely, shyly, gazing down,
Shaded by the lashes brown;
So they looked that fair spring day,
When one stole her heart away.
Leal the Stuart blood was he,
And of Roundhead lineage she,
Ere the years around her flew,
Shadows dimmed those eyes or blue;
Ere her baby girl could speak,
Death had claimed the mother meek.
Now she lies meath moss-decked stone
All with lichen overgrown;
Still the letter you may see,
Phyllis, Sixteen Fifty-three,"
There the sunbeams gently play
Round the grave of Phyllis Grey.

lowed Twenty Miles by His Fish.

Clifton R. Scudder, who went to
Catalina Island few weeks ago in
company with Samuel Cupples, had a
thrilling experience with a big tuna
the other day. He started fishing at
three o'clock in the morning. At seven
o'clock the fish struck his hook. and
for seven hours afterwards there was
an almost even struggle for the mas
terry. The strike occurred near the lit
tie town of Avalon, California, and at
two o'clock, when the fish was finally
brought to gaff, the boat had been
towed fully twenty miles. The big fell
low weighed one hundred and thirty
pounds. It was found to be hooked
in the back, which explained the Wig
orous and protraeted fight it made.
The time required to land this tuna
exceeded by two hours and one-half
any forRes record.-St Louis Globe

Preserving Hams.


When the hams are nicely cured anE
smoked ready for putting away for
summer use, lay them one by one ON a
clean cutting-board and carefully re
move the skin in one entire piece. Then
with sharp knife slice them in large,
thin slices clear around the bone as il
for immediate use. Have a kettle of
boiling lard on the stove, and keep it
boiling, as with a long fork you dip
slice after slice in the boiling lard and
lay them one after another smoothly
in large crock till every slice has
been dipped and the crock is full of
ham. If the lard does not already fill
the spaces around the ham pour boil
ing lard over it till it does. Then cut
from the skin of the ham a circle or
plate of the skin, just as large as the
inside of the crock, and lay it flesh side
down over the top of the ham. Cover
the crock also with an earthen plate or
close cover, and set the whole away in

Hints About Milking,


Always confne cows in the stable to
be MIXED.
Always milk in the same order and
at the same time of day.
Milk as rapidly as possible without
irritating or worrying the cow.
Before commencing to milk, BRUSH
all loose dirt from the sides and udder
of the cow.
Always milk the cow dry before leav-
ing her, but do not continue stripping
after the milk is all drawn.
If part of the milk is left at each
milking in the udder, nature will soon
stop providing it, because it is not
taken.
Always milk COW in the same man
ner, at about the same time and speed.
Any change will irritate and tend to
excite her.
A cow will not "give down. her milk
to a mixer she hates or is afraid of,
and what she does give will be def
cient in butter fat.
There should always De a friendly
feeling between the cow and the milk
er, and mixers should not be changed
if it can be avoided.
After a little manipulation of the
teats and udder, the milk is ready to
''come down" Then is the time to
take 1t, and do not delay.
If you disappoint her and milk half
an hour later, the chances are that you
will get less and poorer milk than if
you MIXED at the proper time.
The last milk drawn from a COW is
much richer than the first. The last
quart usually contains more than three
times as much butter fat as the first.
Have the stable clean, and have the
COW clean, or you can't get clean milk.
Lime and whitewash for walls and
posts is a good thing. Land plaster is
good absorbent in the stable.
No definite rule can be given as to
how the teats should be handled in
milking, as cows differ and hands DIFF
fer so much; but be sure of one thing
please the COW if possible.
Milking should be done with clean,
dry hands.-Wisconsin Farmers Inst&

For Handling Big Stones.

Where a field, or other land, is to be
cleared of large stones, much lifting
can be saved by employing such a de-
vice as is shown in the accompanying
illustration, the working Of which can
be seen at a glance. The back part of
the framework is fioored over, and on
this number of big stones can be
swung by the aid of the tackle and

a short struggle, in which she will
neither throw nor strain herself, she
will give up and, unless the provocation
is great, cannot be induced to move a
foot while the strap remains upon her.
