A BREAKFAST DISH.
Golden Brown Pancak and Sausage
with Gravy and How to
Prepare Them.

One of the favorite dishes. on thefarm
in cold winter mornings is that of golden
brown pancakes served with the darker
brown sausage and gravy. And no
where can such pure, sweet sausage be
found as on the farm where the house
wife herself prepares the ingredients
and superintends the making, says the
Prairie Farmer Home Magazine. Sau-
sages may be a homely dish and there
is no variety in the way of preparing
them, but ever then it makes a vast diff
ference whether they are served up pale
and grease-soaked or brown and crisp.
1t is preferable to removethe meat from
the skins, though perhaps they present
a more attractive appearance when in
cased in the skins. If they are served
in the skins, they should be SC cooked
that the castings do not break, causing
an unsightly appearance. The u of
their breaking is that the outside cooks
too rapidly, even before the center has
become warmed. To prevent this, place
the sausages upon the stove in a pan of
nearly hot water and allow them to re-
main there until heated through. Do
not allow them to boil. Remove from
the water and drop upon a hot, dry pan,
frying them a rich brown all over In
their tempting brown gravy they will
prove an excellent dish to serve with
the cakes. A recipe for light savory
cakes is as follows: Sift into one pint
of flour a teaspoonful of baking powder
and one-half teaspoonful of salt. To
this add two w~ell-beaten eggs, a level
teaspoonful of baking soda, dissolved in
buttermilk, and sufficient buttermilk to
make the batter of the right consistency.
Sour milk may be substituted for butter
milk. For greasing the griddle it is best
to use a small piece of salt pork at
tached to a fork. Rubbing this over the
griddle each time before dropping in the
cakes will furnish just the right amount
of grease for frying.
Perhaps wafles will make a pleasant
substitute for cakes. Sift one pint OF
flour, a teaspoonful of baking powder
and a teaspoonful of salt, into a bowl.
Beat separately the whites and yolks of
three eggs; stir the yolks and a table
spoonful of melted butter into a pint of
milk. Pour this mixture into a hole in
the flour; beat all together, adding the
stiffened whites, and pour the batter
into a creased waffle iron.

KEEP BOYS ON THE FARM.
Educational Department Gives Good
Advice to Rural Father-Ad-
vice to the Teachers.

The superintendent of public instruc-
ton of the state Of Indiana has recently
issued a bulletin touching on the steady
migration of the young men of the rural
districts to theNcities in search of a So
called better chance" Believing that
Indiana is being Slapped of It's energies
by that movement, the department in a
bulletin to the teachers says that they
can influence the boy to stay on the farm
and to work out it's problems.
ut will be a sad day for our national
life when all Il young farmers come to
town; when the small, well-cultivated
homesteads give way to landed estates"
the bulletin says.
The necessity of keeping the boys on
the farm was the subject of a discussion
as to what the teacher can do for the
community. A teachers power in deter
mining the industry of a community lies
in making her schoolroom a busy work
shop, where the rights OF others and the
nobility of honest toll are taught.
The bulletin which is being sent ont
by the state superintendent deals with
the relation of the teacher to the school,
her patrons and the locality. The teach
a, the bulletin says, ought to be a mis-
sionary, h~armonizlng turbulent ele-
ments.

Pymacher, and better, if possible"
"It is not possible" said the manager.
He told all the Chicago capitalists, who
came to that Office. He made their
mouths water. The next day Pymacher
brought. in a lemon pie, an iridescent
dream, a tender flower. Half a dozen

E FOR THE FAIR.
Elaborate Trimmings and Fancy De
tails Characterize h Sea-
sons GOwns.

Tailors and dressmakers are turning
out more black cloth costumes than
ever, and they are for both old n
young women, reports the New r
Tribune. The smooth finished black cloth
gown is considered much smarter"
than the rough textures, however nne.
These gowns are both plain and elaDo-
rately trimmed, short for street wear
or long for carriage use. They may
be Frightened" if desired, by con-
trasting furs, lace accessories or dashes
of color on the hat, in piumes or rich
velvet flowers and foliage.
For neglige gowns simplicity is the
leading mote" but it is, for the most
part, a rich and costly simplicity, I'M
less one have both the tact and leisure
to do the amount of dainty hand Work
that distinguishes them. China SILK,
cashmere, albatross and dainty crepes
are the favored materials, and are ex-
ceedingly effective. A dainty effect is
gained in a white morning gown of al
batross by having its flowing lines fall
over a lining of rose colored taffeta, by
trimming it with bands of rose-pink m
broidery, outlining the front, neck,
shoulders and sleeves, which are opened
over undersleeves Of pink silk null.
Ostrich feathers grow more beautiful
in their soft and exquisite colorings,
shading and "1uffiness." And, after all,
they are so s~erviceable, as they will bear
any amount of wear and hard usage,
and can be easily and cheaply reno
waited.
Coque feathers are smart" in the nat
ural glossy green tones shading into
black, and are most effective when worn
on soft felt and beaver hats and with
m dark street costume. Stoles to
match may be had, and the play" Of
these feathers ripping in a crisp breeze
is charming.
There is quite a rage" for fancy
/ vests, and these, being adjustable, may
be many and varied, to suit the occa-
sion, coat or gown. White, the new
| blues, gray, red, hunters green and
black may be embroidered with gold,
or in dainty Persian colors; or any of
the rich brocades for gowns may be
| used, ven the fancy "v~estings' for
| men.
Ribbons, in their perfection of tex
ture and tones, are used for almost
| everything. Beautiful Marie Antoinette
and pompadour ribbons are Joined by
bands of lace insertion, or by fagotlng,
and modelled into the loveliest evening

GET SEASICK IN A HOUSE.
Peculiar Eject of Attempts to Walk
In stOrm-Beaten nuildinss-
Floors Were Solid, Too.

At a recent meeting of the Women's
Literary club of Baltimore Mrs. Charles
@. Morgan read a paper in which she
cited a peculiar but Northumberland
fact concerning some storm-beaten
houses on Cobb's island, off the eastern
coast of Virginia. The houses were
eventually washed away by the en-
croachments of the sea, but for a long
time they were firmly imbedded in the
sand at such an angle that the wanderer
could walk in the second story windows
from the bluff, while the floors all slant
ed at an acute degree.
There was not the slightest danger at
tenuant upon walking up or down these
floors, yet no one was ever found who
could traverse their length without be-
coming seasick. Experienced sailors,
who knew no qualms in midocean,
turned faint and giddy on trying to
walk these perfectly steady planks. To
all the neighborhood the buildings were
known as the "seasiek houses" and that
the seasickness was not due to imagin-
alton vas proved by persons who never
had heard of the tradition experiencing
the same unpleasant results.
Mrs. Morgan, who resided on the
mainland near by, concluded her ac-
count Of the houses by saying that a
small dog belonging to her husband
which followed that gentleman foot to
foot" as the negroes term it, never
could be induced to follow his master
across the mysterious thresholds, be the
command aver SO peremptory or the in
ducement ever so strong.

Some time ago a rumor went round
that astute publishers had in their nav
a large number of the most attractive
diners-out. Your neighbor at table
would lead the conversation to the
latest novel-quite the easiest of CONVEX
sational openings between strangers,
who lay their heads together over the
menu and have to entertain each other
for an hour. You are interested in the
description of the book of the hour, you
are a little ashamed of not having read
it, and going home you sit down and or
der the book-from the circulating IL
brary. Every publisher, every theater
manager, every deviser of a patent med
icine knows that the advice of O friend
is a more concentrated and personal
pull than the opinion of a critic from
the empyrean. And If the idea was
ever carried out. 1t deserved to succeed,
but no one ever spotted the paid diner
out. There was the artistry of the thing.

The little lace motifs are of Irish
point, edged around with a narrow
Valenciennes lace. The idea of these
going up and down from the drawn
girdIe gives a very good effect. The
skirt is seven-gored, with a group of
fine tucks down each seam. The tuoks
are all put ON the straight of the seam
and are tucked before cutting out the
skirt, so a plain seven-gored skirt pat
tern oan be used. The skirt is finished
around the edge with three tucks.
