Recipes Which the Sender Says Are Ex-
cellent and Not Found In Books.
Here is recipe for turkey and chick
en- stuf1ing which the sender says is very
different in its results from those given
in the cookbooks:
Crumble or CRATE the inside of stale
loaf or more Of bakers bread, either a
round loaf or milk bread. Add pepper
and salt, he,Sreted rind of lemon and
to loaf half the juice; to leaves, all
of it; little grated nutmeg, a handful
each of finely cut parsley leaves and fine
white celery leaves thyme, sweet mar
joram and summer savory, using the
leaves in preference to the ground, and
twice the quantity of thyme as OF the
marjoram or savory. Mix all together,
dry and fill the crops, putting all the
remainder into the bodies Of the fowl.
AS the filling is being done add small
pieces of good butter, which, together
with the proper basting, will give the
dressing sufficient moisture.
This dressing is also excellent for
roast leg of pork when you do not want
| to simulate duck or goose with it.
"The recipe for the good old English
stuffing for ducks or geese, :" the sender
adds 81 never see in our cookbooks and
do not find it used upon my neighbors
tables. People spoil these birds with
soft bread and muss.
This is the old recipe for stufing for
| geese, ducks or leg Of pork:
Take equal parts of parbciled potatoes
cut into inch square cubes and onions
cut up Strain dry, add pepper and salt
and sage leaves crushed up. Prepare
enough of the mixture to fill the porl
or birds with it and to lay some of il
under them in the roasting pan. Keel
this extra filling under the birds. Disf
it separately and serve it at the table
with the rest.-New York Sun.

The Modern Agnostic.

We look at our churches with their
congregations, growing in numbers and
dwindling in faith, says H. g. Chap
man in The Atlantic, and we ask our
selves: In all these buildings, cheap or
costly, what real prayers rise, and of
those that rise do any get above the
roof? What God hears them and has
there ever been an answered prayer? We
look at the face of the dead and repeat
o burial service. Ii after the manner of
men have fought with beasts at Ephe-
sus, what advantageth it me if the dead
rise not? And as we say the words we
ask ourselves, "Do the dead rise?" And
if any one is found who believes these
things he knows that there is another
ct his elbow who believes them not a
whit or an atom, and these two can hit
on no universe that shall satisfy both,
nor can one be poet to the other.

Some Examples of the Glaring 1ncorsist-
encies of It's Alphabet.
AS our alphabet now stands-evan
after 5000 years of perfecting-it is
string of singularly ambiguous signs
and affords an unequaled opportunity
for tormsntors, just rs man who can
not express himself clearly can be
plagued with sophisticated questions.
The confusion of English sound and let
ters is we'll illustrated by spelling COT
fee without one correct letter-kauphy
which spelling Is nearer the original
than the one in use, for pamphlet was
printed in Oxford in 1859 on "The Ma
ture of the Drink Kauphi or Coffee. ?"
The artistically bad photography OF
many of our funny writers is made pos
sible by the glaring inconsistencies OF
our alphabet But some instances OF nat
urally funny bad spelling are perhaps
equal to any artificial ones. Here is
note that was sent to a doctor:
Cer-Yole oblige me uf yole kun I'm ce me
hev Bad l.oyd am Hill an hev lost my Hap
py Tight.
The following, received by a school
master, was likely to be misunderstood
Sur-As you are a man of nolege intend to
inter my son in your skull.

Many eccentric devices Of literature
| depend on the peculiar arrangement Of
| letters. Some of these have fine sound,

recreations of the learned. The palm

backward and forward, is one Of the
most difficult of all feats of letter jug

other respects: "sator areppo tenet op

This spells the same backward ant

Driving Clothes.

The drying of clothes in frosty
weather is sometimes, in the case of
delicate fabrics, attended with tearing
because of the quick stifening in the
very cold air a simple preeaution
which will prevent any such trouble is
to dissolve three or four handfuls OF
coarse salt In the last rinsing water,
thus making it, in fact, weak brine.
Articles so rinsed will not suffer from
or stiffen with the cold.

that she considers coffee, as il
is usually made in the American
family-strong and from the pure
bean-an injurious drink, espec-
tally for nervous people. No
doubt the student to whom you
refer can study better after tax
ing a cup of coffee, but the new
energy is caused by a stimulant,
the effects of which will soon
pass off, leaving him lower in

Corrupted Milk.

There is not one dairyman in
thousand but would protest against
chunk of COW manure as big as an
acorn being dropped into his pail of
milk after he had finished milking.
To attempt to do such thing would
be to make him very properly
indignant. And yet, the said
dairyman very often does this very
thing and thinks it all right. We
don't like to write about this, but
something needs saying. 1t is like
this: Cows kept in the barn are COM
PEELED to lie down in their own filth
because their stalls are not properly
fixed. The cows udder is soaked in
the filth. The mixer sits down to
milk. He does not clean the udder
and cant milk dry, so he squirts some
milk into the palm of his hand as q
lubricator and applying it to the cows
teats goes to work. The filth is loosen
ed up an soon commences to drip in
big, rich, brown drops, like New Or.
leans molasses, into the pail. Ever
and anon he scoops the three fingers Of
his right hand into the froth of the
milk for another supply of lubricator
and when he is through his hands are
