OBITUARY.

Died, on October 9Th. 1900, ANNIE,
daughter of John III. and Agnes NJ. Dru-
~, aged years and two months.
God in his wisdom has called to rest,
This little one we loved so dear;
In the gentle arms of Him caressed,
She peacefully reposes there.
Only to awake in Gods embrace,
The agonies no longer remain;
She Is resting in peace, the pains re.
placed.
With joy, and Heaven attained.
This precious one, has gone forever,
To dwell in the realms on high:
With sister Marie, they are angels to-
gether,
And will meet US in the sweet bye and
bye.
BY her parents.

PoTATo SEow.-Beat into two cu2fuls
of hot mashed potato, two tablespoon
fuls Of cream, half q teaspoonful of salt,
and dash of cayenne and celery salt
Beat this thoroughly with silver fork,
thea fold, and beat in carefully the
whites of three eggs beaten very stiff.
Press this through vegetable press or
colander into q shallow dish, and serve
at once.-Good Housekeeping.
To make corn pone, put one pint Of
meal into bowl; pour over sufficient
boiling water just to moisten it; it must
not be wet. Cover, and when cool add
tablespoonful of shortening, melted,
and two eggs lightly beaten. And pint
of thick sour milk so which you have
added teaspoonfui of soda dissolved
in two tablespoonfuis of water and mix
thoroughly. Turn into shallow pan
and bake in a moderately quick oven
Ladies' Home Journal.
RUSSIAN TEA.-Three teaspoonfuls of
tea, three cupfuls of boiling water, thin
slices of lemon, loaf sugar. Scald the
teapot, which should be earthen or CHI
ma. Put in the tea, and pour over the
boiling water. Let stand in a warm
place to infuse for five minutes. Serve
with slice of lemon to each cupful, and
sugar to taste; or add lemon juice and
sugar to taste and garnish with candied
cherries.
POTATO CRoQUETTE.-Takeb butter the
size of an egg, beat it to q cream; add to
1t gradually two eggs, one teaspoonful
of flour, one saltspoonful of salt, and
six heaped tablespooafuls of mashed po-
tatoes, which have been boiled and then
peeled, thus retaining the flavor. Form
the mass into sausage shaped croquettes,
brush over with egg, dip into bread
crumbs, and fry in deep fat till a golden
color. Drain very dry, place on hot
dish, and pour round some nice tomato
sauce. Scatter chopped parsley on the
top of each croquette and serve hot.
CoPPERAs FoR VERMIN.-A writer in
the Scientific American says he has clear
ed his premises of vermin by making
whitewash yellow with copperas, and
covering the stones and rafters in the
cellar with it. In every crevice into
which rat might go, he put the copper
as and scattered il in the corners of the
floor. The result was complete disap-
pearance of rats and mice. Since that
time not rat or mouse has been seen
near the house. Every spring the cellar
is coated with the yellow whitewash as
a purifier and rat exterminator and no
typhoid, dysentery or fever attacks the
family.
RICE TOAsT.-This is delicate and de-
lieious, and as a foundation for minced
chicken, broiled tomatoes and the like
will be found delighted variation from
that made of bread. To make, wash q
cup of rice carefully, throw into a sauce
pan of boiling water and boil uncovered
at gallop for one-half hour; add salt at
the last, then throw into the colander,
shake well and put colander and all on
plate in the oven to dry of a little.
Now press one-half inch thick into a
dish, put on weight and allow to be-
come solid, then cut into slices. Put
first in crumbs, then in egg, then in
crumbs again and cook brown in deep
boiling fat Washington Star.

The treasurer Of the fund collected for the

about it. The collections. and subscriptions

IL Il but fair to the management to take
into consideration one or two matters bear

showed themselves to be that-they were

made for money by Mr.. SulZer on the oc-

hardly have charged their memories with IL.

OF the fund they would probably approve
OF the whole free lunch arrangement. 1t
was rousing hulIahaloo for the money.

The need for haste being conceded there
is no better place from which to send troops
to China than Manila. Here is the first
practical opportunity to avail ourselves OF
this military base. Its value is now more
apparent than at any previous time in our
ownership. All the theories of the utility of
American sovereignty in the Philippines
are established forthwith. Nor is there any
ieason why this fraction of the troops sta

A Happy Relief.

The drop In temperature which occurred
yesterday IS most welcome. The extreme
hta; had continued 50 long that people
were at the limit Of endurance. The pros
trations were becoming alarmingly fire.

results of period of unusual heat grow
disproportionately In number as the period
IS prolonged. This is thought to be due TO
the steady drain upon the vitality caused
by the persistence Of the heat. leading at

that the danger line of the summer had

ing the whole country and its institutions
by these specimens, did not then and there
resign themselves to the thought Of the
impending fate Of their country? Could
they have been edited by liberty when
they saw it travestied in such a way?
Still another point. In the cable printed
today from Cape Town appears this para
graph:
1T is reported here that President Kru
gers retention of large amounts of gold
at Machadodorp has created the utmost
discomfort among the mercenaries officers
and men. They expected substantial re-
wards for championing the Boer inter-
ests, but have received nothing. 1t is added
quently advocated Intervention are believed
to have received substantial sums. Proofs.

in Pretoria which promise startling devel-
opments-'
Can this be true? 1t may be assumed
that Dom Paul has not tempered In this
way with sentiment in the United States.
But if he has been buying up orators and
newspapers in Europe, and particularly in
Paris. where both are VIGOROUSLY for sale:
If the great outcry for freedom in the
Transvaal and abuse OF England have been
influenced in that quarter by shrewd in
vestments In venal voices and venal pens:
If. in a word. Dom Paul has been playing
De Lome's little game. then let his ac-
counts be audited before anybody else's
are. II he has wasted money for corruption
purposes which he ought to have saved for
pension purposes those who sympathize
with the Boer cause ought to know it.
That eighteen dollars ought not to be
turned over until there are later advices
on this very grave point.
