the strength, weakness and contemplated
movements Of the enemy, but be without the
means of unloading my knowledge. TO force
a way through the lines was to take one
life in ones hand with small chances of keep
ing it, and this would become necessary in
my case, for on a close examination of Louns-
bury's papers l found nothing in the shape
of a pass save an old one signed by Gen.
Howe, which had opened way out of Phil
adelphia.
The rest of the documents proved to be of
no value to me, as they related to matters
concerning the kidnapping of some unnamed
rarty in Norfolk and an investigation with
i view of British occupation of that unimpor-
tant town.
From the moment had found these pa
rers until my landing had given no thought

Evidence of Indigestion

Goodness of feet and limbs is almost
invariably an evidence of indigestion.
The GOODNESS is due not to the weakness
of the heart or feebleness of circulation,
as is generally supposed, but to the
contraction of the small arteries, pre-
venting blood from entering the parts.
There is generally an irritation of the
abdominal sympathetic nerve centers
which control the circulation of the
lower extremities. This difficulty is not
to be removed by exercise or by any spe-
cial application to the limbs, but by re-
moval of the causes of irritation. This
may be prolapsed stomach or chronic
Indigestion. Hot and cold footballs
are valuable. These act not simply
on the feet and limbs, but by reflex
action affect beneficially the abdominal
sympathetic centers, which are in a
diseased condition.

All About Tea.

Tea should never touch metal. It
should be kept in paper, wood, glass or
porcelain. TO make it, put small
quantity in a porcelain cup, fill the lat
ter with boiling water, cover it with a
porcelain saucer and let it stand three
minutes. Then, if you desire to be an
epicure, drink only the upper layer of
the golden liquid, throw the rest away,
rinse the cup and begin again. Never
use sugar. Do not use milk. 1t ruins
the flavor of tea, and the combination
Injuries the stomach. So the Chinese
say, and they ought to know their own
beverage. Above all things do not boil
tea.
The younger the leaf the better the
quality of the tea. ''Flower tea" is
made from the buds with the down still

Make Your Own Perfume.

You can easily make delicious vio-
let perfume for yourself byputting half
an ounce of orris root, broken into
small pieces, in bottle with two
ounces of alcohol. Add to this bunch
of newly-picked violets, cork and bottle
tightly and shake well: After it has
been standing four or five days, a few
drops ON the handkerchief will leave
the scent of fresh violets. Apropos Of
perfume is the laundering of fine linen
and silk handkerchiefs. To obtain the
best results wash them in salt and wa
ter and iron while damp under thin
cloth wet with perfume.

SECRET or HAPPINESS.
Talent and the Tasks God
Has Appointed.

Happiness comes through quiet ac-
ceptance of the talent, temperament
and task that God hath appointed. I'm
able to add one cubit to the stature, or
make one hair white or black, man is
also impotent to alter his birth-gifts,"
writes Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, pas
tor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, on
THE Secrets of Happy Life" in the
Ladies' Home Journal. Through
heredity our fathers chose the life work
for us, and try as we may we cannot
alter their choice, though we can break
our hearts. To-day one part of society
is making itself miserable through an
overestimate of great deeds and an ag-
onizing desire to do striking things.
Yet struggling and agonizing never did
anything worth while. The first sign
of great piece of work is the ease and
swiftness with which it was done by
him appointed for the task. Another
part of society destroys happiness by
Understanding small deeds and du-
ties. Gods mountains are not made out
of huge chunks of granite, but out of
minute flakes of mica. Size has nothing
to do with the valued work, and man
cannot be happy until he surrenders his
will and cheerfully accepts the one tai
ent, or two, or ten, counting it honor
enough to do his appointed work more
perfectly than any other can possibly
do it. We do not need great and splen-
did things, but that common things
shall be lifted up and illuminated by q
quiet and beautiful spirit. One of the
secrets of happiness is found in the ha-
bitual emphasis of pleasant things and
the persistent casting aside of all ma
lign elements"

Hint. About Summer Portieres.

The draperies in the summer house
have much to do with it's effect. Take
away from the house the pretty cur
tains that drape the walls, windows
and doors and it will assume decided
ly bare appearance. Among the new
materials for draperies that are within
the means of women who are planning
for the summer home is snow flake
cloth. 1t is a very light tan in color-al-
most cream-scattered with tlaky white
dots and showing striped silk Dor
der in china blue, sage green or old
rose. The silk border is also in Roman
colors. Another new portiere, some
what more expensive, is of Bombay
cloth with large empire design en-
broidered in tinsel. For library this
is very effective in wood brown with
the design in cream white outlined with
gold threads ...'a

Pretty Window H.nr,np.

White muslin curtains for windows
will be much used this year in summer
houses. The frilled border is out Of
fashion and an embroidered open-work
edge is in vogue. That this launders
more easily than the frilled edge may
be one secret of it's popularity. These
curtains with the fiat open-work Dor
der and an embroidered design scat
tered over the surface may be bought
for very small sum. The new dotted
Swiss curtains with scalloped edge
are extremely dainty and pretty for
summer draperies. The dot is large
enough to be conspicuous.

WHEN A MONKEY IS A DOG.
How Duckland, the Naturalist, Go,
Some Good Pointers ON
Animals.

A good story of an amusing alteration
which once took place between Mr.. Frank
auckland and a booking clerk is revived.
The naturalist had been in France, and was
returning via Southampton with an over.
coat stuffed with specimens of all sorts, dead
and alive. Among them was monkey,
which was domciled in large breast pocket.
As Buckland wal. taking his ticket, joke
thrust up his head and attracted the atten,
ton Of the booking clerk, who Immediately
and very properly-said: "You must have
ticket for that dog, if it's going with YOU
"Dog?." said auckland, Indignantly; cts
no dog, it's monkey"
cts dos" replied the clerk.
Its a monkey" retorted auckland, and
proceeded to show the whole animal, but
without convincing the clerk, who insisted
on five shillings for the dog ticket to London
Naturally nettled at this, auckland
plunged his hand into another pocket and
produced tortoise, and, laying it on the
sill Of the ticket window, said: Perhaps
you'll call that dog, too?"
The clerk inspected the tortoise. NO"

Strawberry Lemonade.

Here is delicious drink with which
to cool the palate these warm days
Take quart of thoroughly strained
juice from stewed Strawberries. When
cool pour into a stone pitcher and add
this mixture: One cupful of crushed
peaches; half a cupful of lemon juice
a cupful of fnely-chopped pineapple
meat, pulverized sugar to taste and a
liberal supply of cracked ice. Stir in
thoroughly with the strawberry juice
and fill the pitcher with vichy, or plain
ice water. This is new drink and
one that is very refreshing.

ROAST BREAST OF VEAL.

should be removed. Flatten out a
breast that has been freed from hard
bones, leaving those that are soft and
flexible. 1t should weigh about 2h
pounds when prepared. Dredge about
a tablespoonful of salt and an even tea
spoonful of pepper. Stuff it with we'll
seasoned veal stuffing. Roll it up and
tie it into shape. Lay it in any flat-bot-
toned shallow saucepan, with cover
that has no solder about it.
The saucepan must be large enough
to he Il gallon, and should be at least
nine inches across the top, in order to
be broad enough. Rub the roll of veal
with butter, dredge it with -four, slice
an onion over it and carrot. Put a
pint of rich brown gravy or stock over
it. cover it and set it in a hot oven to
braisc. Basic it every Is minutes. As
the stock boils down add boiling water
to thin it, and continue the cooking in
this wayuntil the meat has been praised
for at least two hours, or until it is a
very rich brown in color and perfectly
done.
The stuffing for this breast of veal is
made as follows: Brown over the fire
two onions minced fine. Soak a loaf of
bread freed from it's crust in cold wa
ter for IS minutes. Press out the wa
ter with the hands from the soaked
bread. Add two or three whole eggs,
a tablespoonful of salt, teaspoonful
of pepper, a tablespoonful of sage
leaves, three skinned sausages and a
teaspoonful of parsley. Add the mince
of fried onions, and after thoroughly
mixing the forcemeat rub it through
a PURGE sieve. Spread this stuffing in
the center of the breast of veal before
it is rolled up. Tie it closely at the
ends, so as to resemble the roll in the
illustration.-N. Y. Tribune.
