Beans and Peas.

Every family should eat beans and
peas because of all articles they afford
the most nutriment for the least money.
One bushel Of white beans, it has been
estimated, will feed more laboring men
than eight bushels Of potatoes. A pound
Of cheap moat, say at 10 cents, and q
pound Of split peas, say cents will
give fuller dinner to family than
dollar expended for beefsteak and white
bread. A single quart of beans, half
pound of salt pork and pound Of hon.
my will give meal to larger family
than O dollars worth of roast beef,
white breao, potatoes and other vegeta.

A Pretty Plant.

Forgetmenot is easily cultivated and
is one Of the prettiest plants for win
dow garden. 1t is half aquatic and will
thrive in vases of water as we'll as in
pots of earth. All that is needed is to
obtain a few cuttings, roofing them Ell
ther in damp moss or in water, then
filling vase Or hanging basket with
the young plants, which they will
quickly fill with roots and profusely
cover with Towering shoots and branch
lets, and in a shady window are charm
ing objects When the plants begin to
show signs Of fading, fresh cuttings
may be started, or the old plants may
be pulled to pieces, and the branches
already covered with roots formed into
new plants by inserting them into a
fresh vase or basket.

That there is q much better grade Of
bread made and eaten by the majority
Of people nowadays than prevailed some
years ago is fact that we must all ad.
init. As there are reasons for all Of the
great and small facts Of life, it follows
that there must be one for this, and it
is readily found in the improved quail
ity of the -four and quicker yeast than
our grandmothers were always able to
obtain.
There are few points in breadmak-
ing that many cooks do not appreciate.
In cold weather the flour should ba
warmed and everything connected with
the bread should be almost at blood
heat. While the old fashioned salt or
milk rising unquestionably makes the
sweetest and most relishable bread,
many women who might do SO refrain
from making it on account of the length
of time it takes to raise it. Compressed
yeast, if strictly fresh, will raise in
half of the time. Salt rising, if made
with potatoes, keeps fresh for long
time; quite long enough, in fact, for
any such eatable to be kept on hand.
Bread should not be kept over four or
five days in warm or moderate weather.
1t begins to deteriorate and soon devel-
ops fc.m of bacteria that is by no
means wholesome. After four days, if
there is any bread in the box, it should
be sliced and put into the oven and con-
verted into zwieback. For this purpose
a very hot oven is required. Let the
slices remain until they are light
brown, not yellow shade, but distinct
ly Drowned, then put them away in pa.
per bags or pasteboard boxes. They are
delicious in coffee and form a most ex.
cellent basis for dainty dishes of vari-
GUS sorts. For eggs on toast, cream
toast, soups or puddings, salt rising
bread made into zwieback is invaluable.
As an instantaneous relish, for example,
when one comes in heated and hungry
and needs a cup of something warm
with a cracker or other accompaniment,
it is unsurpassed. A dish Of panada
with this ingredient as a substitute for
crackers is most delicious luncheon If
one is hungry when about to retire.
Yeast bread is also good and bakers
and other bread may be utilized to great
advantage. Economy is the prime con-
sideration in the house and in nothing
is it more important than in the utiliz-
ing of breadstuffs. New York Ledger.

rs IT ON TO CUBIe

When the war broke out the cry was
"On to Cuba" Then things happened
which made this cry little less eager
and insistent. Now the authorities ap-
pear to be ready to invade Cuba, and
active preparations for the start are
apparently being made.
The starving reconcentrados who
have been waiting for relief must think
their friends in the United States are a
little slow, but when the friends do
move they will move rapidly and
thoroughly, and there will soon be re-
lief for the suffering Cubans who have
been able to live through their hard
trials.
The landing of the United States
troops in Cuba with weapon in one
hand and bread for the starving Gu
bans in the other will be a cheering
sight for men and angels. Perhaps the
troops will also have an opportunity
to feed some starving Spanish soldiers
after conquering them.

Il LOST CRAZE.

What has become of the Klondike
craze? Last fall it looked as if there
wouldn't be room on the cars and
steamers for those who would want to
go in the spring. But the cars are not
running overtime, many of the steam
ers which were hurriedly prepared to
carry passengers and freight to Alaska
are laid up, and some have been sent
elsewhere by their owners. The pas
senger rates from Seattle and San
Francisco, which had been put up to a
high figure, have been reduced from
time to time without drawing business,
and now there is actually competition
among the different parties carrying
freight from Dyea and Skaguay, which
has cut down the rates for transport
ing goods over the passes to a point
which was thought to be impossible
only a short time ago. 1t is evident
that the people have generally made
up their minds about the Klondike re-
gion, and are not going there, or going
at least in very limited numbers. The
war excitement has perhaps aided in
this result by drawing attention in a
different direction, and by stopping the
free advertising which the region was
receiving in the papers. The Klondike
companies feel the pressure badly.
Dividends are not being so confidently
promised just now. Assessments, how
ever, are in order A San francisco
company has already levied fifty cents
share.
There is just as much gold in the
Klondike as there ever was, and there
are more sensible men outside of the
Klondike than there have been.

ToRPEDoEs IN MOBILE HARBoR.

TORPEDOES IN MOBILE HARBOR.
Mr.. Dooley, a Mobile ship carpenter,
relates an amusing incident connected
with the blockade Of Mobile harbor
during the war. Some ship carpenters
had been put to work by the govern
ment to manufacture floating mines,
and had taken a number of heavy
pieces of square timber and placed
them in the form Of triangle, three
pieces being used to each. At the end
of each of the sticks--that is, on thS
three points-was placed a torpedo. A
few days after this wind came out
strong from the north, and the torpe-
does were taken and placed in position
in the bay so that they would be driv-
en- by the wind against the United
States gunboats.
The plan was apparently to be sue
cessful, the torpedoes being driven
rapidly in the direction of the enemy's
gunboats, and great damage might
have resulted to Uncle Sans ships had
not the wind suddenly changed, and
the torpedoes were brought back and
carried in a bunch to the bay opposite
Frascati Here the torpedo mines met
in an eddy, and there was suddenly a
great explosion, followed by another,
and yet another, completely tearing
the RATS to pieces and producing at
the same time a panic among the peo-
pie resident on the shore, who went to
Mobile city and reported that the enc
my was bombarding scati-New
