Tread Made of.rea Hour.

Something new in the way of a
food product is pea flour, with which
the war department has recently beel
making experim ments. 1t will be placed
on the market before long at mod
crate price, and seems likely to come
into use to a considerable extent. This
-four is intended to be mixed with
wheat -four for making bread, and
the claim is that it improves the
flavor of the bread, which remains soft
and moist for much longer time than
when wheat flour alone is employed.
The pea -four is prepared for market
by cooking the peas with steam, then
roasting them, and finally powdering
them by roller process, the final pro-
duct being light sulphur yellow in col
OF and nearly as fine as ordinary
wheat -four.
1t is extremely nutritious, and is. said
to contain nearly two and a half
times as much Of the substance that
goes to make muscle and blood as
does wheat -four Nearly SO percent
OF the pea flour is starch, and oyer 2S
percent is flesh-for.ning stuff, with
practically no water.-Philadelphia

a Hint to Busy Mothers.

If busy mothers, with more swing on
hand than they know what to do with,
would use a little system in this, as
we'll as in all other home duties, it
would save much work and any
amount of worry. Almost all mothers
have to attend personally to planning
the clothes for the little folks, to the
buying of materials, consulting with
dressmakers as to how this or that
should be made, and so on through q
list of things necessary to the sewing
season. 1t is really much more satis-
factory to lay in a stock of materials,
everything Necessary, and faaEs~a good
seamstress come to the house at stat
ed intervals during the year, and then
do all the sewing that is to be done
the making of new clothes and remod-
elling of old, providing the mother
canot afford all new. By having, say,
two regular sewing periods every
year, the plain wardrobe of a family
can be kept in god shape with infinite.
ly less trouble than by the constant a
little every day method.-The Gentle

MISS LIZZIE SNEATHING
DR.. Hartman, the Famous Gyn@coIo-

ters to Treat Women Free During
the Summer Months.

America is the land of nervous women.
The great majority of nervous women arc
so because they are suffering from some
form of female disease. BY far the great
est number of female troubles are caused
by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh de-
spair of recovery. Female trouble is so
common, so prevalent, that they accept it
as almost inevitable. The greatest obsta-
Gle in the way of recovery is that they do
not understand that it is catarrh which is
the source OF their illness. In female COM
plant, ninety-nine cases out of one hun
dred are nothing but catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh wherever located

Origin of Gnnpowder.

In Germany and Italy great honor
is paid to Saint Barbara, but until now
TO one has been able to discover the
exact reason. aa
A German officer says that she is
honored because the invention of pow
der is in a large measure due to her.
Berthold SchwarZ, monk, he eX-
rlains opened the Lives of the Saints"
on Saint Barbara's day and read the
story of her martyrdom, after which
he reasoned as follows:
"The heart of the virgin was white
as salt, the soul of her tormentor was
black as coal, and it was sulphur from
Heaven which punished him for his
cruelty. l will mix these three things
and it will be a wonder if do not dis
cover the philosophers stone"
He did mix them, and as soon as he
put the mixture in fire tremendous
explosion followed. Such, according
to German soldiers, was the origin OF
gunpowder.

Easy Way to Save Ice.

The Travelling Cow.

The travelling COW of the Emperor
and Empress of Russia mas just died.
This beneticent animal was taken to
Denmark and Leith in 1891, and then
round to Portsmouth, whence she
crossed to France, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. She travelled from Cher
bourg to Montparnasse in the imperial
train and from the latter terminus
was driven to the Russian Embassy,
where she supplied milk to their I'm
perial Majesties and the baby Olga.
A French paper says: "This COW has
travelled about with the Emperor and
Empress. She was of English race
and highly priced by her exalted own.

The prominent part played by
China in the worlds afairs during the
past seven years aroused the inter-
est of collectors who have brought to
this country many specimens of wares
and goods peculiar TO that part OF the
far East. None among these are OF
greater historical valUe than the wea-
pons which are in use in all provinces
of the empire, even in the districts
where the imperial armies are
equipped with European firearms.
One of the best collections was shown
in this city not long ago. and is now
in the possession of the commercial
museum at Philadelphia. Single speci-
mems of value are to be found in the
Chinese clubrcoms in Chinatown, and
in many of the bric-a-brac stores scat
tered about the city.
A careful study of the weapons
shows that most of them are nausht
hut industrial appliances suddenly
employed for purposes of offence. One
spear is pitchfork and another tri-
dent similar to the eei-spear employed
by our own fishermen. Another
ghastly weapon when examined care
fully proves to be a scYthe-blads fast
ened to the end of strong pole. The
halberds are hatchets, axe heads,
adZes, and cleayers wired or tied
with throngs, to stout slaves. Even
the spears and lances show an agri-
cultural or domestic rather than
military origin.
These weapons may be viewed as his
torical souvenirs which are preserved
as testimonials of the bravery of the
Manchu conquerors The Tartars take
great pride in their conquest of the
Middle Kingdom. Before they came
from the north they were savages in
comparison with the civilized Chinese.
They preserve this fact 4 their laws
and customs. The cuff of every Off
cials coat is made in the form of
horse hoof to indicate that the Man.
churian armies were cavalry, not in
fantry. The official footwear is cav
airy boot, which, though made of sat-
in with kid-covered soles. is in cut
and general appearance the same as
the heavy leather articles worn by
their ancestral troopers 300 years ago.
When they conquered Chinse they ex-
perienced the strongest resistance
from the farmers and shermen who
armed themselves with whatever came
TO hand and attacked the invaders
with fierce intrenidity.
In honor of these victories they re-
tanned the primitive weapons of their
captives and used them as trophies of
their battles. Each Manchu officer
employed lot of Chinese captives
and armed them witn their own
spears, tridents, and axes as the case
might be. The practice has been kept
I'D ever since. When Mandarir
goes calling he has one or more guards
in his retinue who are armed with
these simple contrivances. So far has
the idea been pushed that in nearly
all the temples there are weapons
which belong to the God of the tenn
ple. and these are usually of the same
agricultural character as those en-
ployed by the guards of civil and nil
itary officials.

Articles of food fried in drippings

those fried in lard, but more whole.
some. Indeed, there are many persons
whose stomacns will fight against any
food fried in lard, yet take kindly to
that where drippings have been used.
It may be utilized, too, not only for
frying, but for pastry purposes, in the
making of which good beef drippings
is far preferable to the common but
ter generaly used. Therefore to the
family in which economy is any sub.
ject the proper care of drippings is OF
considerable importance.
The manner of clarifying the drip
pings, though simple, requires little
time and care. First, every particle OF
fat should be melted down, and this,
with whatever supertiuous quantity
you may have in your meat pan,
should be poured into bowl with
with some boiling water. Stir it after
ward for three or four minutes, and
set it away until the next day. Then
take the cake from the bowl, and re-
move with knife whaever impurities
may have settled on the bottom of it.
Put it into saucepan, adding a little
salt and some boiling water, and al
low it to simmer for twenty minutes,
slimminc off the impurities if any rise
to the surface Then pour it again
into a bowl, and when cold, free the
bottom of the cake as before, melt
and strain it through sieve, and
when quite cold put away for use in
covered stone crock. Drippings may
be used for frying purposes over and
over again, but should be clarified
after each using.

field. 1t is estimated that fully. 25
percent of the old journeymen have
either died or dropped out of the busi-
ness, so that only some 500 grinders
are left. The interesting feature is
that young men appear averse to ap-
prentice themselves at the trade, so
that, with the further natural inroads
on the ranks, the razor grinding busi-
ness may reach an acute stage, parti-
cularly as no machinery has yet been
devised to supersede hand labor for
this operation.
