Nasious Ways of Cooking and Serving
Oatmeal AppetizinsIy.

To one cupful oatmeal add five
cupfuls water; let stand for seven
hours, stirring occasionally, says
Housekeeper, Salt, put in double
boiler and cook until a smooth, soft
Jelly, which will take about five
hours. As.l more water if necessary
during the process Of cooking. Pour
in small molds. When ready to serve,
place molds in individual dishes,
preferably glass, just deep enough
to accommodate a generous allow
ance of cream. Fresh sliced peaches
or bananas can be nodded into the
jelly, or apples, pared, cored, quar-
tered and cooked in a sirup until
tender, but not broken. Scoop out
the molds and fill the hollows with
a spoonful of orange marmalade or
ounce jelly. For persons of seden-
tary habits mold with figs or dates
cut small. Another way is to serve
the plain jelly with a prune sauce
instead of cream. For the sauce chop
fine stewed pitted prunes and return
to the water in which they were
cooked.

Ben Butler was engaged in heat
ed political controversy with a con-
temporary of his native town of
Deerheld, n. II. They waxed elo-
quent, as was customary when Ben
Butler held the floor, and those in
the audience were all attention, with
one exception.
1t seems that, while Benjamin
was arguing his side Of the question,
at frequent intervals he endeayored
to scratch a match on his trousers,
but with i'll success. At length the
aforesaid member spoke up and said,
"What in blazes are We tryin' to do? =
Butler stopped short, realized that
he had the wrong end of the match,
but would not be outwitted, and re-
marked, as he held the birthstone
end of the match forward:
"Why, any blamed fool could
strike light from that end. was
only trying to discover if | could
succeed in bringing a light from the
other end" boston Herald

With the death of Sir Augustus
Gregory the last of the great Aus
tralian explorers has passed away.
His demise recalls the most remark
able mystery in the annals of the
commonwealth. Fifty-seven years
have passed since an exploring ex-
petition, commanded by German
scientist. Ludwig Leichardt, set out
from Sydney to cross Australia from
east to west. To this day nobody
knows what happened to that ex-
ploring party. Not scrap of pa
per, not solitary relic of its fate,
has ever been discovered. 1t must
have been either overwhelmed IN
some natural convulsion or abso-
lutelv annihilated by the blacks. Sir
Augustus Gregory led two expedi-
tions in search of it, one Of them
organized by the Royal Geographical
society.-London Chronicle.

The Mississippi.

The Mississippi had over a dozen
native names, different designations
being given at different points in its
course. The Algonquins called 1t
the Meche Sebe; other tribes termed
it Chucagua, Mico, Tumalasen, Ia
nala Ri and other names. The AL
gonouin name was finally adopted
bv the whites for the whole river.
The meaning is ''father of waters, "
or "the whole river" TWenty-seven
different spellings are noted in the
writings of the early explorers.

Lord Chancellor and Great Seal.

1t may not be generally known
that during his term of Office the
lord high chancellor of England is
not permitted to leave the kingdom.
If he takes a holiday he must
choose a locality somewhere within
the boundaries of the island. The
reason for this restriction is that
wherever the lord chancellor goes
he must carry with him the great
seal, and that is not to be trusted
out Of the country. This precious
mark of authority consi IS of pair
of dies made in silver. When neces-
sity arises for fixing the great seal
of England to any document the
dies are closed, melted wax is poured
in, and, opened in due season, the
great seal is found ready for attach
ment.

Treatment of Wounds.

When one is wounded by knife,
nail or otherwise, smoke the wound
in wooden rags. Put dirt or ashes in
a dish with bits of old woolen cloth
and set on fire. When smoldering,
place tunnel or make cone from
stiff paper, put over the dish and
hold the wound in the smoke several
minutes. 1t draws out pain and any
poison and will prevent both lock-
Jaw and blood poison, also drawing
the edges of wound together. This
is effectual and well worth trial,
for it has been proved many times.

A SUBMARINE BATTLE.
The Strenuous Time a Big Grab Had
lr Making a Meal.

On shallow shore of Long Is
land, near New York. extend long
randy beaches. These often are in
terrupted by creeks or little inlets
into which The tide runs at high wa
ter, running out again when the tide
falls.
Standing on a bridge over one of
these runways, | happened to see a
big crab making a dinner upon a
piece of fish which he held firmly
in one claw. Around him, but at a
safe distance, were several smaller
crabs, who did their best to join in
the big crabs dinner.
Meanwhile the big fellow had no
time TO loiter over his meal, for in
spite of his clever sparring with his
free hand every now and then one of
his small enemies succeeded in max
ing a successful raid and retreated
safely with bit of the fish.
Still, between attacks big Mr..
Grab was holding his provisions so
fast that the little pirates would

A Job For Him.

She was one of those busy souls,
according to the Dundee Advertiser,
who cannot bear to see any one
standing idle for a moment.
"John,' she said to her weary hus-
band, "you've nothing to do. Id
like you to fix our pump. 1t has

oratories Of Paris, to make CONNER
cial use Of the fact. He used to
practice medicine and was accustom-
ed to bleed his patients in the old
fashioned way. lie extracted the

human arms and kept it in the form
of minute gIobules, or pearls. At
last he had enough to make an iron
ring, which he wears on one of his

A Costly Error.

The want of punctuation in tele-
grams has sometimes been followed
by serious complications. A nota-
bic case occurred some time back
when a certain nobleman, while at
his house in the west end, dispatched
wire to a celebrated Edinburgh
physician, the favorite doctor of his
wife. Almost Immediately follow
ing the dispatch of this telegram
another followed it stating that the
doctor would not be required in the
following terms:
Don't come. Too late"
The telegraphist made the mes
sage:
"Don't come too late"
The medical man, constituting this
as urging him to the greatest haste,
arrived in London, claimed his fee
and expenses, amounting to 5000,
and by legal proceedings obtained
that sum.-London Tit-Bits.

One of the leading industries of
Manchuria is the breeding of dogs
for the sake of the skins, the breed
cultivated being remarkable for the
length and fine quality of the hair
There are thousands of dog farms,
keeping from a score to several hun
dred dogs each. The animals are
strangled in midwinter that the furs
may be got in the best condition,
but they must be at least eight
months old. Eight dogs are required
for one robe.

Not Wanted.

Having passed most of his life in
Paris, Paul Bartlett, the sculptor, is
bilingual. He relates that one day
in the Luxembourg gardens his at
tention was directed to a party OF
three American ladies who were en-
gagged in an animated and mutually
unintelligible alteration with cab
man. Addressing the eldest lady,
evidently the chaperon and spokes-
woman of the party, he said:
Madam, perhaps | can be of
some service to you. | speak
French"
Gorgonizing him from head to
foot with a stony stare, his country
woman sternly replied:

And the cabman, perceiving that
the intruder had been snubbed,
closed the incident by proclaiming
from the box:

RooseveIt's Early Cowboy Talk.

Nothing amused the cowboys more
than Roosevelt's choice Of words and
manner of speech. He was a purist
in language and at first was unable
to tackle the COW punchers' slang.
While driving his bunch of cattle
to his Chimney Butte ranch num-
Der of them started up coulee. An
experienced foreman would have
shouted, "Git a git on you, there,
and head them steers!" or "fIit the
high places and turn 'em" Roose-
velt's order, while equally sharp,
nearly paralyzed the flying COW
punchers. 1t has been treasured
and told and retold whenever two
or more COW punchers have gathered
together.
Standing in his stirrups, he open
ed his steel trap mouth and yelled,
"Hasten quickly forward yonder"
The wonder was it didn't stampede
the herd.-Boston Herald.

When st. Petersburg and Moscow
were being connected by railway the
czar of Russia was asked to indicate
upon a map what course he wished
tie line TO take. Without mo-

cordance with the imperial mandate
the railway runs straight as an ar

A Mistake and an Apology.

Chief Justice Fuller of the Unit
ed States supreme court was mis-
taken for an itinerant German mu-
sician at the Savoy hotel, London,
recently and given a poor room on
this account. Fuller, accompanied
by his daughter, arrived at the Sa-
voy, where the clerk, after booking
them, looked the justice over from
head to foot and came to the con
clusion that a man so diminutive in
size and with such long hair could
be but one thing-a German musi-

daughter the poorest rooms he had
vacant. When later he learned who

To Remove Mildew.

A spoonful of chloride Of lime i'll
quart of water and strained
through flannel is the best solution
to use to remove mildew. Soak the
spots in the solution for about a
minute and then lay it in the sun.
If the spots have not disappeared
repeat the process. Sour milk and
salt is also very good, but in any
case plenty of strong sunlight is es-
sential.
