,roPE ABorrT LECTURERS.

One Of the most interesting and instruc-
tive lectures ever given is that Of Rev.
J. ]. Lewis on the Passion Play Of Ober-
ammergau. 1t is illustrated by over 100
views taken when Mr.. Lewis was in
Oberammergrau in 1890. As every one
knows this play is only put on every ten
years and the peasants of this little VII
Ia ge spend their lives in preparing for and
contemplation of this great event. 1t has
a. worldwide reputation and people OF
every realm and cline make pilgramages
TO this shrine. In the first place the story
that transformed the world is can inter-
esting and instructive theme. Then the
lecturer is in many ways a great man

brought well nigh to perfection by years
of culture and practice, have made MIN
that finest product Of civilization, great
orator. In addition to this the instrument
used as we'll as the views are the finest
that can be obtained. Mr. Frank Bean,
the expert operator with Mr.. Lewis, has
been with him seven years. AS practice
makes perfect, it is not to be wondered
at that the work of the stereoptican IS
classed by competent judges everywhere
as perfect, and to the casual observer 1t
appears marvellous It can be said with
out fear of contradiction that the Lewis
lecture is the most beautifully Illustrated
and thrilling story of the Passion of eJsus
that has ever been presented.
The number Of tickets to be sold for this
course is limited and after they are sold
no more course tickets will be issued.

Genuine French Fruit salad.

Arrange sections of two oranges,
three sliced bananas, one-half pound
white grapes which have been skinned,
and 10 English walnuts quartered, on
lettuce leaves. Serve very cold with a
French dressing made of four table
spoonfuls oil, two tablespoonfllls vine
gar, one-half teaspoonful salt and one
fourth teaspoonful pepper. A pretty
way to serve this is to arrange the let
tuce in its original shape on a glass
dish, put the fruit in the center, and
just before serving pour over the dress
ing. Everything should be chilled. The
dressing, If allowed to stand on the
lettuce will cause it to wilt. This COM
bination does not sound especially at
tractive, but it's really very good.
Strawberries may also be added in their
season.

How to Gain Avoirdupois.

The following recipe for gaining
weight is seriously proposed by an
eastern physician of note: Eat vege-
tables and sleep after each meal. Go to
bed at nine o'clock and lie in bed half
an hour after you wake up. Laugh a
great deal. Drink water by the pint or
the quart if you can. Drink weak and
sweet tea with plenty of milk in it.
Take cod liver oil and sweet oil as much
as you can. Eat until you feel as if you
would burst at the table. Put plenty of
butter on your bread. This will guaG-
antee a gain Of five pounds month,
and, if you can sleep great deal, OF
double that amount.

NICE BREAKFAST DISH.
The POneninR of EGGS Is n Culinary
Art which hut Few Housekcep-
ers Have Mastered.

Nearly n hundred years ago DR..
Kitchener, who wrote what may be
called the first practical English cook
book in The Cooks Oracle" declared
that "the beauty of a poached egg is
for the yolk to be seen blushing through
the white, which should be just sutfi-
ciently hardened to form n transparent
veil for the egg" This is an epicure's
description of a perfectly poached egg.
In order to attain this much-to-be-de-
sired condition, the egg must be per-
fectly fresh; that is, not over three
days old. An egg a week old may poach
well, but cannot be depended on if it
has been kept in warm place. There
is no method of cooking in which a
stale egg shows itself so quickly as it
does by the white or albumen scatter
ing in the water, as it does in poaching.
The water must be boiling rapidly,
and it should be strained when poured
out of the tea kettle into the broad
shallow basin for poaching. This can
be easily accomplished by tying a thin
clean muslin cloth over the spout of
the kettle. To three quarts of boiling
water add an even tablespoonful OF
salt and a sal. spoonful of good
vinegar. Drop six eggs, one after the
other, into the spot where the water
bubbles up, doing the work as rapidly
as possible. Do not allow 10 seconds
to elapse before they are all in, or the
first egg will be overdone. Let the
water return to the boiling point and
bubble around the eggs one minute
Remove the saucepan to the back OF
the fire and take the eggs up one by
one with skinner, after carefully

EGGS ON TOAST.

loosening them one at a time from the
bottom of the dish. If the eggs are
fresh and the directions are followed
they will all be in good shape.
Have ready as many pieces of toast
as there are eggs. These pieces of
toast should be a rrifle larger than the
egg, and the crusts should be cut away
They may be square or circular in shape,
Drowned delicately on both sides, and
II dry mostened with little hot water.
Place an egg on each slice of toast and
season it with a little salt and white
pepper. Serve mushroom catsup or
any English sauce with the eggs for
those who like it. Theeggs may also be
served with a little anchovy paste
spread on the toasts, when the catsup
or the sauce would be unnecessary.
Poached eggs on toast are nice with
minced ham. Mince fine about two
large slices of we'll boiled ham. 1t
may be simply seasoned with a
little cayenne, or it may be deviled
by adding about half teaspoon
full of mustard to a cupful of the
ham. The ham should be heated and
may be laid over the toast, or over the
eggs and toast, or it may be made into
little circular 'plats" the size of the
toast, or the toast omitted and the eggs
served on the ham. French cooks al
most invariably serve poached eggs on
a bed of boiled spinach or boiled sorrel
and it is a delicious way. Heat over
some of the boiled spinach left from
dinner. This is one of the few vege.
tables that may be heated over and be
improved every time. Spread it out
| on a platter to the thickness of about
an inch or an inch and half and lay
the poached eggs over it, or cut out
circles of the spinach a little larger
than the eggs,lay them on little squares
of toast and place a perfectly poached
egg over each circle.-N. Y. Tribune.

A most interesting field of investiga.
ton is presented by the rhythm of in
sect sounds. When a large number of
crickets are chirping at night in field
they do so spontaneously, keeping time
as if led by the baton of a conductor,
Prof. A. f. Dolbear says that the rate Of
chirp is apparently determined by the
temperature. So invariably is this the
case that when the number of chirps
per minute is known the temperature
with certainty can be estimated. At a
temperature of GO degrees Fahrenheit
the rate is so per minute, and at 70 de-
grees it is 100 per minute. This gives
change of four chirps per minute for
each change of one degree.

MAKING GOOD BREAD.
How Any Woman May Learn to Mas
ter This Most Valuable of
Household Arts.

The day before baking-at noon in
cold weather, in the evening when it is
warm-peel, cook and mash thorough
ly five or six medium-siZed Irish po-
tatoes. After putting the mashed po-
tatoes in a vessel you use for sponge
q use a covered tin paiD, add one-half
teacup of sugar and one heaping table
spoon of salt With fork beat and
mix brisltly; the longer you beat the
lighter the sponge will be. When cool,
add one yeast cake, soaked. Set away
in a rather warm place over night. In
the morning sift your -four in the mix
ing bowl, and to the potato sponge,
after taking a teacupful out and put
ting in a self-sealing can for your next
baking, put as much warm water in
proportions as you wish to make bread;
for six rather small loaves use three
pints of water. Stir into your -four,
mix thoroughly and knead your dough
we'll. Work in all the flour you can;
put in bowl to raise. When the bulk
is almost doubled which will be in two
or three hours, according to the
warmth of the dough, punch down with
the fists; leave in the bowl to raise
again. In about an hour 1t will be
ready to mold into loaves. Use as little
-four as possible in molding the loaves;
grease your balling-pan and also the
loaves, being careful to grease we'll
between the loaves, when double their
bulk, rub the top with a wet cloth, and
put in moderate oven to bake one
hour. If you do not have a deep bread
pan, take stiff paper cut in strips two
or three inches wide, pin together un'
til long enough TO reach around your
pan. Just before putting in the oven,
slip this paper around the pan. IT
will prevent the dough spreading over
the sides of the pan. Don't have your
oven too hot. 1t should be so that the
cook can hold her hand in and count
20 rather quickly. Have the fire sc
| that it will get hotter for about 90 min.
utes. then gradually cool down. After
mixing the dough. keep covered with 6
warm cloth. The oven is good plac,
to raise bread in If you 2 certain i
is not too warm. The day before tn,
next baking prepare potatoes, sugal
and salt the same as before, but in
stead of using yeast cake, use the tea
cupful of potato sponge saved before
The bread will be better than before
and you can save out teacup of potato
sponge each time! If you bake breac
as often as once a week you will no
need to use yeast again for six month
or a year.-W. A. Clearwaters, in La
dies World.

How to Clean Pictures.

To clean the glass over pictures, dip
piece of chamois in alcohol, wiring
nearly dry, and wipe thoroughly, yet
lightly. Polish with piece of dry
chamois. The gilded frames may also
be cleaned with the alcohol. If oil
paintings need cleaning thoroughly,
dampen a soft cloth in warm water in
which some CASTLE soap has been dis
solved. Dry carefully, and then varnish
lightly with some thin, clear, French
"retouching" varnish. 1t is well to con-
suit an artist in regard to the best
varnish.

drawing that may be necessary, such as
u plan and cross section, etc, of the pro-
posed road. 1t will be money in the
taxpayers pockets to have all prelim-
inaries and the general supervision of
the work done by competent, expert
enced and practical civil engineer, and
not by some pretender, or some politi-
clan whose only ability lies in his pull
with the powers that be- and be for
a short time only.
In eXcavating for the roadbed care
should be exercised not to plow too
deep or to one side of the outer lines of
the proposed roadway; if there are de-
pressions in the subgrade, there will be
a tendency to make chuck holes in the
road after little time, owing 10 the
water settling in the places where the
dirt has been cut too deep. If the bed
is cut too wide and filed back, the road
after a little will spread and become
weak OH the sides. Farmers drain tile
rhould be placed under the subgrade of
the roadway at any pois-r where the
earth seems TO be springy, and the
wafer ISu 10 one Slue OF Ine ROAD, even
If fill has to be made to get the de-
sired drainage.
The whole roadbed should be rolled
with heavy roller until it is thorough
ly compacted. The amount of rolling
and the size of the roller must depend
upon local circumstances. The average
soil when moist should compact about
two inches, which, of course, needs to
be taken into consideration when do
ing the grading. The depth and kind of
material used for the roadway must
| depend in II great measure upon the To-
2ality, the traffic conditions and the ma
terial at hand-whether the road shall
be constructed of trap, granite, quart
zite, Peobles, cobbles, Stag, lava, shells
of various kinds, gravel, cinders, burnt
clay ballast, wood, brick or asphalt
Also, keep in mind the ability Of the
| people 10 pay the taxed cost; and, fur
ther, take into consideration that long
time bonds demand the payment OF
lurge amounts of interest"
