Salt Rising Bread.

Into a pitcher put one teacupful
Of fresh sweet milk, two teacupfuls
Of boiling water, one tablespoonful
of salt and into this three teacup-
fuls of flour. Set the pitcher in a
kettle of moderately warm water
and keep it at a uniform tempera-
ture. Cover the mouth of the pitch
pr with a towel. Set the kettle
where the water will keep warm.
Let it stand three hours, then beat
up well, after which do not disturb
it. In two hours it should be light.
Have ready two quarts of -four, half
a tablespoonful of lard and tea
spoonful of salt. Pour in the yeast,

Dainty Bed COVERING.

An east end girl has devised
dainty bed covering from family
heirloom, a large and handsomely
embroidered linen sheet, which was
done in Paris many years ago for
her grandmother. A deep hem goes
all around the sheet, with a hem
stitching. About seven inches from
this line of drawn work appears,
and between this and the hem are
embroidered in white linen floss
patterns of flowers and vines. Be-
tween this and the middle of the
sheet on the other side of the drawn
work another pattern of leaves and
flowers is seen, and the crest and
motto of the family appear in the
middle of the sheet. The young
woman has utilized the sheet in a
spread and had long roll pillow
cover made to match it, with en-
broiderv and drawn work similar to
those of the sheet.-Pittsburg Dis

Table Decorations.

When glass dishes are used for
flowers, it is useful to have the open
wire coverings that come for the
purpose, through which the stems
may be thrust. In this way a few
flowers may be used to excellent adj
vantage. These coverings fit long,
narrow as well as circular dishes.
The mirror mats are most desirable,
too, and two or three or more in
different sizes and shapes permit
much variety in table decorations.
1t is a good plan, too, to have set
of four individual silver candle
sticks, with a round of shades. The
openwork silver shades with which
a glazed color piece is used are the
most economical in the end. The
color pieces are very cheap, and
once a set in pink, white, red, green
and yellow is acquired wide range
in the table scheme is possible. As
fresh candles must always be
bought, it is easy to get them of the
desired color. The detached candle
sticks are also better value than the
branching ones when economy is to
be considered and frequent enter
tanning is undertaken, as the ar
rangement of the former can be
widely varied.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Cushion Covers Should Harmonize
With Their Surroundings.

With Their Surroundings.
Was there ever a woman who had
too many cushions ? asks writer in
the Housekeeper. l am forever
making new ones, and my fever has
reached a stage where [ am actually
delighted when [ find that enc Of
my cushions needs a new cover, for
Of course [ always have something
IN mind that seems to me more at
tractive than anything I've yet
done. A lady [ know has one of
those new leather cushions with
rough edges that seem to be the
fad just now. The skin is tanned,
leaving the edges rough, and the
pillows are made up with the rough
edges hanging over She has her
cushion in the parlor simply be-
cause it happens to be expensive,
but | should not think of using it
except in my reception hall or on
the porch, and | should take care
to have the pyro etching show de-
sign in keeping with the place where
the cushion is to be used. There are
SO many women who haven't learned
that cushions as well as everything
else should be appropriately placed.
Think of "cake walk" cushion in
the drawing room or dainty lace
covered cushion in the library, and
if you don't have a nervous chill
then nothing I could say would
teach you how to choose cushion
covers wisely. A combination of
two tones always presents striking
appearance, andrt this is particularly
true in cushions. Very effective
cushions are in tan and brown or
two shades Of blue or of green, all
other colors being excluded.

A Chance.

She possessed a mind discerning
That was stored and crammed with
learning,
And her thoughts, forever burning,
She could suitably express.
All her sentences were rounded,
And her words imposing sounded;
I was really quite astounded
AS I listened, l confess.
1t was rather an infection,
All this verbal unrestriction,
But her elegance of diction,
Each precise and polished phrase,
And the beautiful selection
OF the words and their connection
And her most correct infection
They were quite beyond all praise.
But saw her very lately.
And she did not talk ornately;
All that language suave and stately
She no longer kept on tap.
She was saying: "Bessums, diddums!
Where de bad old pin got hiddums
In his muxzer's p'ecious kiddunas.'
To the baby in her lap.

Wash Fruit.

Do not allow children to eat fruit
skins. They are frequently filled
with microbes which find in the
stomach conditions favorable to
their development. The downy
bloom of the peach is especially La
BILE to contain these microbes. All
fruit should be washed before going
to the table. Grapes may be easily
cleansed by holding each bun:h up

Not an Exception.

He learned to dress the baby
AS babies should be dressed:
No matter what the way be,
He knew the way that's best.
He learned to cook a dinner
AS dinners should be cooked,
And no one was the thinner
For things he overlooked.
He learned to do housekeeping
The way it should be done;
At busting and at sweeping
A prize he might have won.
No problem that's domestic
This husband did appall;
With courage quite majestic
He learned to do it all.
Until one day while dying,
With pleasure unalloyed,
His wife came in and, crying,
Was visibly annoyed.
"Alas, to be so treated!
To seek a higher perch
He goes, with skill completed.
And leaves me in the lurch!"

STEADY GROWTH OF
RAIL WAY EARNINGS
FACTORS IN STOCK
MARKET SITUATION
Effect of Monetary. Crop, Railway, Iron
Trade, and Business Outlooks
Generally.

The governing factors In the stock mar
ket situation. according to Henry Clews
are these. in their respective order-tne
money market. the crop outlook. the rail-
way situation, the iron trade, and business
conditions.
The monetary situation, he says. Is not
entirely free from concern. Bank reserves
are low. loans greatly expanded. and the
development Of other weak spots during
the summer would cause NO surprise.
Funds must soon return more freely from
the interior. which, In connection with
forced contraction Of loans, would
strengthen reserves.
No Easy Money.
Money. however. Is hardly likely to re-
main as easy as at one time expected. Tor
considerable gold exports seem Inevitable
owing to American Investments abroad
and to less favorable trade balances, re-
suIting from diminished exports and in
creasing imports.
As to the crop outlook. there is nothing
very positive in either direction. Favor
able rains have fallen In large sections OF
the West. and should the yield be up to
an average we may expect no cessation
of present trade activity in the West
Railroads are still making splendid re-
turns and generally showing increases
about 10 to IL per cent ahead Of the large
figures of last year. This Is the most con-
evidence of continued general
Still. the main source OF
strength of the better class Of railroad
stocks Is the fact that important merger
plans are under consideration: and. though
the Northern Securities case has some
what delayed such schemes. their final
is ultimately looked for.
General Outlook Good.
The iron trade continues taxed to the
utmost, and the furnaces hold orders
that will keep them fully employed to
the end of the year.
As for the general outlook. that Is en-
Here and there reactionary
symptoms are developing. high prices
for raw materials and labor having ma
terially increased cost of production un-
til a point has been reached where prof.
its are receding and consumption is be-
ing sensibly checked. There Is no sign
If general reaction in sight. Mr.. Clews
concludes, but that the indications OF
turn In the tide are multiplying must
not be ignored.
