a Novel Beverage.

Marmalade glace is a new thing
which the New York Herald says will
have great vogue for evening parties
hereafter. For this a jar OF orange
marmalade is taken and is mixed with
the juice Of six lemons, the juice of six
oranges, water and sugar. Precisely
how much water will make up a proper
mixture can only be told by expert
ment. Cracked ice in large quantity is
added until the liquid is very nearly
frozen. It should stand until it is thor
Oughly chilled. The tang of the MARINA
lade, which is scattered through this
mixture in small pieces, gives the whole
a novel and an agreeable taste.

An excellent way to cook and serve
a chicken is thus: After cutting the
chicken open down the back pound
the breast bones with wooden NAL
let to f1atten them little. Lay the
bird in a shallow baking tin with
some slices of salt pork, and place
the pan in hot oven. Pour a little
sailed water into the pan and fire.
quently haste the chicken with it
while it is in the oven. Let it remain
until half cooked, then take it from
the pan and place it upon a broiler
over clear fire. Broil the under
side of the chicken and then turn it
and cook the skin side to a delicate
brown. When cooked place it upon
heated platter, sprinkle it with salt
and pepper and pour some melted
butter over it. Scatter chopped pars-
ley over the whole. A chicken cook
ed in this manner has all the delicate
flavor of broiling, and will be more
thoroughly and evenly cooked.

The Up to Date Cooks Stock.

No up to date cook prepares the stock
from which her dinner soup is made the
day the soup is needed. According to
the New York Tribune, stock for at
least weeks supply should be made at
once. Then the preparation of the daily
dinner soup will not occupy more than
10 Or % minutes. When consomme is
served several times in the week, the
entire amount used is made at once and
the different garnishes are added the
day it is served. It is the same with
sauces, and by little calculation a good
manager can easily discover about what
proportion of each sauce is necessary for
a months supply. This, once prepared,
the table is revolutionized so that the
sameness that characterizes the plain
roast and broiled meats is no longer
known. A new sauce each day gives an
entirely different flavor to the meats
and vegetables.

In choosing lace curtains it is we'll to
avoid those of harsh tone of color,
such as coffee color or white. Cream or
and more effective. To this advice The
Decorator and Furnisher adds the fol-
lowing:
Madras muslin will be much used
during the coming season, and these are
now produced with floral designs in
delicate coloring on ivory grounds.
Frilled curtains will find a rival in
those with fringed edges. For really
handsome curtains none can compare
with those of cluny lace, but the high
price places them beyond the reach of a
moderate purse
Velyeteen is a material which lends
itself easily to graceful draping, and
the manufacturers have bestowed great
skill in the production of this material.
Tt can now be bought printed with
handsome floral designs. Poppies, peo-
MES and tulips are the flowers chiefly
employed in it's decoration. Velveteen,
on account of its being easily cleaned,
is very economical material.
Cretonnes are giving place to chintz,
which, with their stiffness of surface
and design, recall the primness Of our
grandparents ideas of furnishing. The
only recommendation which chintzes
have is that they are almost everlasting
in wear, though whether that is point
in their favor is questionable. The rival
of chintzes as novelty of the season is
a fabric called "printed tissues. These
are really linen cretonnes.
The cheapest way of buying curtains
is to buy the material by the yard, a
large pair requiring seven yards. From
the outside it is impossible to tell that
the curtains are not woven as pair,
while inside, if the c1rtains are prettily
punched up, the lack of border at the
bottom is very inconspicuous. Very
novel and pretty are curtain holders
made of silk to represent flowers or but
terf1ies, fastened to clips like candle
clips. The only objection to them is
that they soil and require renewing.

recently by Lawrence Hutton, of an
afternoon which he once spent with

Mr.. Booth was tired and wished to
enjoy the society of his friend unin-
terrupted. Caller after caller was
announced, but he refused to see
them, sending word simply that he
was engaged and could not receive
visitors that day.
Among those thus dismissed with
brief excuses were brilliant lady of
society and her charming daughter, a
judge of the Supreme Court, promi-
| nent politician, distinguished man
of science, and a bishop and his wife.
But at last a card was handed him
which won the immediate response,
"Show the lady up"
81 put on my overcoat to leave the
room," says Mr.. Hutton, "but was told
to wait, the lady was friend of mine,
whom I would be glad to see, and who
would be glad to see me.

the person so distinguished, did wait,

THE VOICE OF THE GALLOWS.

A few years ago a young man by
the name of Brooks was murdered in
Dubuque, Ia. He was the son of poor
parents dependent upon him for a
livelih God; and it was known that he
had savingly earned a considerable
sum of money, and this led to his
death in this wise: Brooks was in
vited by a number Of new made asso-
ciates to go to the saloons in the lower
part of the city along the wharf. Here
he drank freely, treating and being
treated in turn. Finally he refused to
drink or treat longer, was followed
by a number of the company, and
next morning, was found on the side
walk, murdered. Arrests were made,
three separate individuals were con-
yicted. and the extreme sentence of
the law pronounced against them.
Whilst they were awaiting the execu-
ton, many visitors went to see them.
Among these, one day, was Mrs. B.
of Ohio. She recognized one of the
young men condemned to die, as one
|
town with her. His mother, poor
old widow, resided there still, and he
was her only son. Mrs. B. started in
surprise, and naming him said, "Does
your fond old mother know you are
here? and for such crime?" He
answered, eyes! I had a letter from
her yesterday, she's dying with grief"
And with this he burst into pitiful
wailing, his groans pierced the hearts
of all who heard him, he trembled like
man in an ague fit, great tears rolled
down his cheeks, and drops of sweat
stood upon his forehead.
The mention of his mother quite
overcame him; his thoughts were car
ried back to the innocent days of his
childhood, when his boyish gambols
had so awakened the heart of that
mother whom he loved, who dotted on
him-idolized him-and whose old
heart was now breaking. O! what
sight he was in his terrible peniten-
tial grief! When he grew calmer, he
said, 60! Mrs. B., I never killed the
man, but was present at his murder.
If had not been drunk I would not
have been there! 1t is not dying that
humans me so, but O, to die on the
gallows! murderer's death, if not
murderer, a drunkard's deathl-the
penalty of strong drink! And to kill
my poor mother, to break her heart!
and disgrace all my relatives!" And
then he called on all who heard him
to live soberly, to urge men every
where not to touch the accursed
stuff.
COL" said he, Nwould to God could
write the sign over every grog shop
in the land to caution men, I would
write in big letters that all might
read:
ssThis is the road to hell! This is the
road to hell"
And, covering his face in his hands
he sank down exhausted.
AS the words of doomed and dying
man, these words sank deep into the
hearts of all who heard them; as the
words of doomed and executed man
shall they not sink deep into the
hearts of all who read them now?
From the high hills overlooking the
river his gallows speaks to MS today.

The Boston Herald of October 13
speaks editorially of ga larger ratio of
trouble caused by alcoholism among
the soldiers at Fort Preble in Port
land harbor, Maine, than in any other
garrison post in the entire United
States.' The writer then supposes as
reasons 'sthe added zest because liquor
is interdicted by law" Ssstolen waters
are SWEET sswretched stuff" etc.,
and concludes "whatever the cause,
the fact remains, as we have stated,
that the one state in the Union which
prides itself, and has for years past
prided itself on it's prohibition law,
furnishes to the United States war de-
partment the worst record of intern
perance." Is it not strange that a
great daily like the one quoted above
should not rather address itself to the
question of the government furnish
ing the Intoxicating liquor in a fort
within the bounds of prohibition
state, rather than attempting an in
ference to the effect that soldiers
might drink more in such a state than
in any other, when both the quality
and the quantity are entirely within
the jurisdiction of the general govern
ment and beyond the authority of the
state? Would it not be more Christian
to inquire why the United States thus
debauches it's soldiers and sailors?
