CORN MUFFIN RECIPE.
It Ii an Excellent One, and One That
Ii Not Found In Ordinary
Cook Books.

| An excellent rule for corn mullins is
as follows: Beat two heaped table
spoonfuls of butter and four of sugar to
a cream. Add the yolks of three eggs,
and then add two cupfuls of milk in
which a 'teaspoonful of soda has been
dissolved. Sift two or three times
cupful and a half of flour and a liberal
cupful Of corn meal, with two even ia
blespoonfuls of cream of tartar. Add
the mixture of butter, sugar, milk and
eggs slowly to the dry ingredients, STIR
ring well while doing so. After beat
ing this batter very thoroughly add the
whites of the three eggs-which have
been whipped to a very stiff tHoth.
Turn the batter into muffin tins which
have been buttered and bake the muf-
fins in a hot oven. These mullins are
delightful for breakfast served with
dainty omelette and cup OF hot
coffee with whipped cream. The writer
has tried several rules for corn nauf-
fins, but has found none as light or as
tender as these. 1t is not one of the
usual recipes found in the average cook
book. and it is an excellent one.
The following is a very good rule for
| JOhnnycake: fut three cupIuIs VI coIh
meal to soak with three cupfuls of sour
milk over night. In the morning add
half cupful of -four, two tablespoon
fuls of molasses, one beaten egg, tea
spoonful of salt, and finally liberal
teaspoonful of soda which has been dis
solved in about half a cupful of milk.
Stir the batter very thoroughly for sew
eral minutes and pour it into shallow
baking pans which have been buttered
well. Bake it in very hot oven. 1t
should be about an inch and half thick
when done, and it should have fine
crust.-N. Y. Tribune.

Oddities In Gloves.

Jewels sparkle from the newest sum
mer gloves. Yet they are quite within
the means of the average woman, for
the Jewels are imitation gems.
The jewels are used on glace kid, and
heavy silk, and instead of the usual
stitching they appear in rows. There
are gloves of soft shade of tan. with
mock eneralds used in place of the
stitching.
Then there are other silvery gray
gloves with the backs studded with tur-
quoise. These gloves are only suitable
for evening wear.
Gloves in vivid shades are among the
novelties of the season. Glove makers
are showing rich purple-hued gloves
and others in shades of bright green,
pigeon blood red, pearl white and all
the shades of blue.

Here Are Three New and Very Stylish
Designs for the summer

The girl who has tanned complex

new designs in parasols, ranging any

hundred dollars leave no excuse why

The very newest idea in parasol dec
orations, and one which affords an
agreeable change from the floral trim
ming, is that of sewing applique de-
signs all over the silk covering. All
kinds of insects and small animals are
impressed into service, but the favorite
is the butterfly with deep cream and
pale yellow wings and dark brown bod
les. The rib-seams are then trimmed
with frills of soft silk or null.
Among the inexpensive designs is a
parasol of brown grass linen lined with
a pistachio green. The linen is en-

HOW TO HANG A HAMMOCK.

straight arrangement leaves it too un:
stable for security.
The four positions shown in the draw
ing provide for clear space between
the lowest part of the hammock and
the floor of about Is inches. 1t is a
common error to suppose that the head
of a hammock should be fastened at
the same height as the foot, or higher.
The best way is to keep the ring at the
foot end from three to five inches high
er than that at the head. When the
hammock is stretched out nearly
straight the difference may be kept
down to three inches. Four makes
fair medium. But with good deal of
curvature, the fastening at the foot
ought to be five inches above the head
fastening. The reason for this is that
when the head end is elevated, the
whole body tends to slide down in the
hammock. What is called a position of
euuilibrium-one in which the body
will remain where it isis one in which
the hips rest at the lowest point. If
the head seems too low, under these cir
cumstances, it should be bolstered with
O. pillow.-N. Y. Tribune.

Bathing in Russia.

A family of father, mother and son
have just returned from a sojourn of
several months in southern Russia, and
are now staying at the Grand hotel.
In the old white town" of Baku-there
is n new ''black town" now, where Pc
troleum is refined-they registered at
the Hotel de rEurope, and papa ordered
a bath. After his ablutions he proposed
a bath for mamma and another for the
boy, aged ten. The proprietor brusque-
ly informed him that his wife, his son
and himself were expected to use the
same water. In the heart of the Cas-
plan oil region they never thought of
filling the tub second time for a mere
family wash. The water had to be car
ried upstairs in buckets, and he had not
sufficient help to accomplish that task.

GIRL WITH THIN ARMS.
Can Easily Remedy the Defect by
Rubbing Them Vigorously
Few Times Every Day.

Thin arms should be carefully con-
cealed. They have an impoverished
look that robs their owner of some of
her dignity. If the arms are unduly
long, as they occasionally are, the eff
feet may be neutralAed by wearing
wide bands of black velvet fastened
with pretty buttons or clasps or
buckles. This reduces the apparent
length of the arms.
''Thin arms says NJ. Charles Blanc,
the great French authority on dress,
denote bad health and an enfecbied
race" The best remedy is to wash the
arms with a fine lather of soap at east
twice day, and to dry them thorough
ly and rub them vigorously. This
treatment brings the pores into action
and induces healthy condition of the
skin.
Rubbing with soft channels leather
is excellent for the skin, giving it both
smoothness and gloss. A girl who was
much troubled with an eruptive disor-
der on her arms was advised to procure
a very soft chamois leather, and ge9tly
but persistently to rub the skin for a
few moments daily. She did SO and
never suffered from the same disfigur-
ing cause again. The arms and shout
ders are greatly improved by being
rubbed in the same way, but the chamois
must be very soft.-Ladies' Home Jour-

Hint for the summer Table.

Table mats, on which to place hot
dishes, are no longer used, as the heavy
felt undercloth is intended to be suf-
ficient protection for the table; but
many housewives have found the top
of their handsomely polished tables de-
faced by the marks made by the hot
dishes. If a sheet of asbestos paper is
put under the felt cloth the table will
not be injured in the least from this
cause. At teas or lunhceons, when the
polished table is used with doyiies in
stead of cloth, asbestos mats may be
covered with prettily embroidered dol
lies for the hot dishes. One of these
mats covered with a DOYLE, which
should be larger than the mat, is much
prettier to use than any teapot stand
that can be purchased.

WIDOW SAVES HER HOME
"A Brave Chicago Woman Secures
1000 Subscriptions and Lifts
q $500 Mortgage.

South side women are just now talk
ing about the feat of plucky woman
in saving her home. She is widow,
and her husband left her a house and
lot incumbered with $500 mortgage.
She had no way to lift the incumbrance,
and when it came due she could do moth
ing but throw herself upon the mercy
of the holders of the paper. They were
decent people, however, and agreed to
give her three months extension OF
time. Two months of this respite was
wasted in attempts to secure assistance
from acquaintances.
Just about the time the widow had
given up hope she saw the offer of
woman's periodical agreeing to give
$500 to anyone who should secure 1000
annual subscriptions within specified
time. The time expired in just month,
and the task seemed hopeless. But the
woman seized the chance and went to
work that very day.
She had fair success from the first
day. When she thought it would do any
good she told her story, and many peo-
pie who cared little or nothing for the
magazine subscribed to help her along.
She visited residence districts only, and
appealed to the woman of the house al
most entirely. AS the days went by
many women grew interested in her
brave effort, and little clubs and So
cieties did what they could to help her.
Many women would say this: Nov, if
you find at the last minute that you are
few dollars short, come to see me and
I'll subscribe again. l can send the pa
per to a country cousin
The woman had many ups and downs.
Some days subscriptions were secured
easily and rapidly; other days she made
little or no Roadway. AS the end of the
month drew near things grew less en-
couraging. Her acquaintance had.
long ago been exhausted. The available
territory in the vicinity of her home had
been thoroughly gone over, and people
living at distance, she found, were
much less apt to lend a sympathetic
ear. Still, the list grew steadily, and
there was always a fighting chance.
The last day found her just dozen
subscriptions short, tired out and near
ly hopeless. She was casting about in
her mind for some way to raise the
money necessary for the 12 subscrip-
tons, when the door bell rang. 1t was
a note from woman who had already
subscribed, but contained a dollar and
warm words of encouragement. This
note was the first of many such mes
sages. And before evening the list of
1000 names was complete.
Out of the woman's brave effort has
grown a double result. She was not
strong physically when she began her
| canvas, but the exercise unavoidably
connected with her work has made her
q healthy woman. She got the $500 and
she saved her home.-Chicago Inter

The Time of Growth.

The requisites for successful growth
in children, the growth which is carried
on with great rapidity and activity,
may be summed up thus: Food which
is simple, yet at the same time full
of nutritive qualities; unfettered ac-
ton of the limbs; freedom from anxiety
or from anything that prevents pure,
bubbling happiness "a happiness

warded for his skill, his fidelity and his
loyalty. Consequently I say this case
of Cooper's is so out of the ordinary
that nothing but Cooper's well-known
reputation for veracity enables me to
believe it.
'Look at some of the private secre-
taries that you and have known. Take
George Gilliland, for instance. He
looked after all of Senator Brice's polit-
ical interests, attended to all of his
executive department work, wrote his
letters for him, signed them, and
mailed them. Gilliland was the whole
thing and did the senatorial business
| completely. When Brice left the senate
! he left Gilliland without a job; and
when Brice died his will contained no
mention of his able and astute private
secretary.
"Then there was brilliant Mccarthy,
who left the Cincinnati Enquirer TO be-
come private secretary to Millionaire
Leland Stanford, the California senator
Mccarthy wrote speeches which made
| Stanford's utterances in the senate re-
spectacle. He attended to ali of his
senatorial business so that the people
of California were as well served as
| though they had real senator with
| brains for craftsmanship. But when
Stanford died he left not penny and
not even a word of thanks for poor
Mccarthy.
'Have you forgotten Frank Fenniken,
| the physical and intellectual giant who
carried the burdens of craftsmanship
| for Senator Plumb, of Kansas, for IL
years? Have you forgotten that Frank
Flennixen attended to all of the CORE
| spondence, looked after all of the ap-
| pointments, and took care of the rou-
tine work on Capitol hill, for Plumb:
Well, when Plumb died suddenly his
| will contained no mention of Flenniken,
| and that faithful fellow was out of
| job. Because of the chaotic condition
of the affairs of the late senator, it be-
| came necessary for Mrs. Plumb to en-
ploy Flenniken to assist in settling up
| the estate. But when that work was
done Flenniken was sent adrift.
eff these instances are not enough,
let me remind you of old man Fitch,
whom you used to know well. He
worked for Senator Sawyer, of Wis
consin, the millionaire. He looked after
Sawyer's pension business so carefully,
consistently and diligently that Saw
yer got the reputation of passing more
private pension bills than any two other
senators. Well, when Millionaire Saw
yer left the senate he left Fitch with
out job, and without hope of job.
because Fitch was too old to hunt a
job"
| Mr.. Haig was asked to tell something
about the method pursued by Senator
Ingalls, in preparing his celebrated
speeches for delivery in the senate, and
he replied: 81 have given you enough
now for one letter. If you will come to
see me some Sunday afternoon. and
stay for supper, will tell you some in
teresting things about ingalls,, in the
height of his fame; some things cred
liable to him, and also creditable to his
able private secretary

will be exceedingly interesting to the
writer. and also to every reader.

Especial Washington letter.

"Maj MKinley was good man to
work, for and he was always kind ana
considerable while was with him. he
showed his consideration in many ways,
and on one occasion voluntarily gave
me his check for $780," said Charlie
Cooper, the well-known stenographer,
to party %, friends.
In reply to inquiries, he said: "Weli,
during the campaign of 1896 l reported
speech after speech throughout the
months of the summer and fall, when
delegations were coming daily from all
parts of the country. The major never
had time to prepare speeches in ad-
vance, and therefore usually spoke ex-
temporaneously. was there with
notebook and pencil, taking down
what was said, because the newspaper
men required the every utterance OF the
republican candidate for the presiden-
cy, just as the papers required copies
of all of the utterances of Bryan who
was touring the country and talking
from railroad platforms.
"Well, while the grass on the lawn
was being worn out by the tramplings
of the feet of the tens of thousands of
callers, was being worn out, too. Maj.
Mckinley is man who never tires. He
can stand more work than any man
have ever served, and he has always
kept in the best of health. So it was
that year. His speeches were some
times long and sometimes short, but
they were always delivered deliberate
ly, and in such manner that it was COM
paratively easy to take notes OF what
he said. That part of the work was not
hard.
"But after the work of the day was
done had to write out those speeches
on the typewriter; and I had to make
manifold copies for the newspapers.
Many a night I was hard at it until aft
er midnight. Fortunately, the delega-
tions did not require any making OF
speeches before nine or ten o'clock in
the morning, SO had plenty of time
for recuperative sleep. But all the time
I was wearing out and getting tired.
The last three weeks I got out Of bed
tired every morning. But, of course, l
never complained. The major was up
late every night also, attending to cor
respondence and other campaign work,
and all of us were busy as bees. There
was not a drone beneath that roof.
During the last week of the cam
paign the major made Fl special
speeches in one day. I took down all OF
those speeches in shorthand, and worked
until 1880 o'clock in the morning trans
cribing my notes. I was suffering
from swelling of the glands of the neck,
which necessitated several subsequent
surgical operations. The major knew
that I was suffering, and several times
