As a substitute for chicken pie the
following is not easily to be surpassed
and is adaptable to almost any spot
or place: Having made rich crust
as. for chicken or meat pie, line pan
with this, butter the inside all over and
place il in the oven to bake. Then for
the filing take quails, rabbits, part
ridges, or in fact any small game, and
fry in a frying pan in butter until of
a delicious brown. Place it next in
saucepan with rich soup stock, a
tablespoonful of tomato catchup, a
wineglass of currant jelly. the juice of
a lemon, six cloves, salt and pepper,
and allow it to simmer on the back of
the stove until very tender. Then
transfer it to the baked crust and, hav-
ing covered with another crust. place
it in the oven long enough to bake it
to delicate brown,-Chicago Daily

THE MAKING OF LACE.
A Few Useful Hints for Those who
Are Interested In This Truly
Delightful Occupation.

In making the lace great care should
be taken to avoid cutting the braids.
Lace designers plan their patterns as
far as possible to have continuation
of the braid extending to point where
the break will not show. The worker,
by taking a pencil before starting the
pattern and tracing from the starting
point to where the braid ends. will find
1T less confusing when the work is
started. This, also, places the pattern
in the workers mind. If the braid is
not sufficient to reach the desired
point, end il at the base of "a flower
or leaf, rather than midway in the pat
tern, where piecing will be discernible.
1t is better to lose few inches of
braid than ruin an entire collar or
bolero by pecing. In starting the
work or fastening the Threads it must
be remembered all lace must be free
from knots. Carry the thread by
blind stitch or two through the braid
to the desired starting point; here take
a tiny buttonhole stitch, which will
make the loosening of the threads an
mpossibility. This same rule applies
TO finished work. Always leave enough
thread in your needle to catch two or
three stitches with its finishing but
tonhole accompaniment. Never in lace
making stint yourself as to thread, as
nothing ruins lace work so much as
to be drawn, puckered or gathered.
The design of the pattern should stand
out from the background; therefore
this part of the work is heavy, on the
more solid stitches, while the back
ground has an open stitch, cobwebs,
net and broken bars.-Pilgrim.

Things Quaint, Queer and Curious

Brennan was sailor, a politician, a
man with romance, mourning his
bride of a single year and his one lost
child. Time was on his hands; he be-
gan to think about Washington. His
room No. II, was that which had been
assigned to Washington, according to
tradition, in the house, handed down
by generation after generation of serv-
ing maids. Brennan by degrees gath
cred the idea that the bed, the wash
stand, the pitcher, were the same ar
ticles that Washington had seen and
used Later on. he asserted that even
the soap and the towel-no one was
ever permitted to touch them-were
the same.

the money designed by Mr. Carnegie
10 build public libraries and other in
stitutions. Curiously enough, Mr..
carnegie is neither an officer or stock
holder of the company. he doesn't
wish to be bothered.
1t will start in business with the
greater portion of the S5,20o,00o set
aside by the donor for public Libraries
In New York city. That sum alone
would be respectable one for trust
company to do business with, and of
course Mr.. Carnegie is too good busl-
ness man to let so much money lie idle,
earning no interest, until needed.
The reason of organizing out of New
York is obvious. - The Mother of
Trusts, as New Jersey is called, makes
il an object for banks as well as trusts
10 have nominal offices within its linn
its. Banking by ferryboat is quite
feature of Hoboken life. Instead of the
New York depositor going or sending
10 his bank every day his deposits,
smart young man from Jersey calls
with the pass book, accepts the depos
itor's deposit in his own office, enters
il on the pass book and goes out. The
messenger goes to Others in the same
way. At the close of his trip he crosses
the ferry to his home bank, and all the
deposits he and others have gathered
are properly entered.
There is little danger of theft, as
most of the transfers are by check.
The Jersey banks pay 2Ka or even three
per cent. upon daily balances; besides
that, they offer immunity from per-
sonal tax. It's easier for the rich man
to send his money out of the state every
day-that's what it amounts to-than
it is to change his legal residence to
Newport.

result is that one or two bidders
usually attend the sale. Not far

partner was the only bidder and the
bid was about 10 per cent, OF the real
value. The following from the
Hazlehurst Courier Is a good sugges-

II the press Of the state will come
together and demand that all legal

The First National Bank hopes to
get into its building soon. but the
date for moving has not yet been set.
The workmen are as busy as bees put
ting on the finishing touches and ex-
pect to have the building ready III a
short time. The Western Union tele-
graph company will occupy apart
ments in the rear of the building,
frontins Pine street, and will have
one of the finest offices in the state.
The building it has been occupying
the past few years is an old dilapi-
dated frame concern, scarcely fit fo1
any purpose, but it was the best the
Western Union people COULD do at
the time, there being no chance to get
an Office on the ground floor elsewhere.
This step from such building as ii
now occupies to the three-story build
ing constructed of press brick and hav-
ing stone front is great pleasure
to the Western Union people and the
move will be highly appreciated by
the general public.
