WHEN EGGS ARE SCARCE.
Ways in Which Housekeepers Can
Economic in Their uuse.

The housekeeper expects eggs to be
high at holiday time, just when she
wants to make extra good things, but
to Offset this condition the cold wealth
er allows more sugar and fat in food,
and the lack of eggs is not quite SO
serious as it might be. When eggs
are nearly 40 cents a dozen at the be-
ginning Of September, as they were
this year in the large cities, the price
has a decided influence on the daily
menu. The first point in which to be-
gin economy Of eggs is in serving
them as a substitute for meat. Some
thing at less cost can temporarily be
taken by giving the matter little
thought, although eggs are so staple
part of the usual breakfast as to
come first to mind
When eggs are scarce it is not nee
essary to make ten egg sponge or
angel cake; neither is it wise to scrimp
too much by using baking powder to
take the place of eggs. Il a recipe
calls for a certain number. do not take
out one or two and expect to have a
satisfactory result, for the proportion
of materials has been changed. 1t is
greater wisdom to select a recipe IN
which the number of eggs is smaller,
No egg cake" is seldom satisfactory,
but there are many good cakes made
with but two eggs. Raised hot breads
can for a time take the place Of NUT
fms and other breakfast cakes made
with eggs, vet even here it may not be
wise to entirely omit them, for pan
of light, feathery mullins will all he
eaten, but if made without eggs two
or three of the cakes are likely to be
wasted. It takes but small per cent.
Of waste in this way to turn cookery
that was intended to be very econon1i-
cal into extravaganza.

MONUMENT TO VERDI.

fine Carrara marble and dark tinted
granite. On top of round granite
shaft, which is capped by a laurel
wreath, stands the imposing figure of
Verdi as he looked in the heydey of
his career.
The granite shaft on which the fig
ure of the composer stands rests on
a square base of the same dark stone,
and surrounding the central column
are four smaller figures, in Carrarra
marble, representing operate crea-
tions of Verdi. They are .Othello,"
Aida" "'Falstaf'' and La Fora del
Destino."
Soon after the death of Verdi, on
January IS, 1901, signor Charles Bar
sotti, the editor Of an Italian news
paper, conceived the idea of collect
ing a subscription to perpetuate in
marble the memory of Italy's favorite
composer and the man whose operas
were lived by the whole world. Con-
tributions poured in from all parts
of the United States from Italians
who recently emigrated to this coun-
try and from those who have become
American citizens. In the end $780,
900 was subscribed to the monument
fund and the order for the sculpture
and the design were given out. The
monument has been finished now for
some time and has been On view in
Italy, where it was wrought. The
commission appointed to decide upon
it's acceptance comprised American
and Italian representatives of the TWO
governments and sculptors.

PENNIES FOR A COLLEGE.
One Hundred Thousand Workers Each
Give Penny to Ruskin College.

The British trade unions had not in
their origin any direct concern with
education, says the Fortnightly Re-
view. But it is fact Of no ordinary
significance that some of the leading
unions should be taking very great
interest in the higher education of the
workman.
Far the last three years some 100,-
000 workingmen, members of the
Analgarnated Society of Engineers,
have made three leyies of one penny
each to help on the work of Ruskin
college at Oxford. This levy pro.
duces over $500 a year, and by means
of It six engineers are maintained for
a years course of study at the col
lege.
Smaller but substantial sums have
been contributed to the same institu-
ton by the London Society of Com
positors, by the Lanarkshire Miners
County Union, by the Amalgamated
Association of Beamers, TWisters and
Drawers, by the Derbyshire miners
and the Durham miners, while a large
number of other societies appear
among the donors and subscribers.

about the latter part OF July my

take much notice of it at first, but II
began to get worse all the time and
then I began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum,
ors; but I became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and II
was not long before I could not lest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks would take a hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura

kept getting better, and by the time
I used four boxes Of Cutieura I was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped

set Makes an Acceptable and Suit
able Gift for Bride.

a set of c1othes-hangers makes an
acceptable gift for a bride, a traveller
or a college girl. The set consists Of
waist and skirt hangers dozen OF
each. The best waist-hangers are
those of coppered wire, found at any
furnishing store. They should be
wound with narrow ribbon, finished
with tiny bow at each shoulder end.
The skirt hangers are easily made at
home. Take an inch strip of pine
wood. Cut it into eight-inch lengths.
Wind these also with ribbon. Screw
into the middle of the upper edge a
fairly large-sized brass cup-hook, and
two cup-hooks of smaller size near the
ends of the lower edge to hold the
loops of the skirI-band. Many closets
now are provided with a small brass
rod fastened across at a convenient
height. The hangers are hooked on
this. Closets sometimes have shelf
running across for the entire length.
In that case three large cup-hooks can
be screwed to the under side, to hold
any sort Of a rod, from brass to broom
stick. 1t is astonishing what nuln-

Chambers Joke on conklinq.

Roscoe Conkling was capital boxer
and quite proud of his skill. One
evening after considerable banter he
induced Senator Chandler to put on
the gloves" with him. He played with
Chandler for few rounds, much to
the discontinue of the downeaster.
The latter bided his time and some
time later quietly brought a profess
sional pugilist to dinner where Conk-
ling was a guest. In the course of
the evening MIR. Smith was induced
to engage in a boxing bout with Mr..
Conkling. The professional danced
around the senator, landing when and
where he wished, playing with him as
he would with a punching bag. The
elegant New York senator was dazed,
overwhelmed, Inundated, crushed.
When he surrendered and called
enough, as he did at last, Senator
Chandler smiled bland1y and presented
the pugi1ist in his true colors.

Back stairs.

A woman who found her steep back
stairs as little ornamental as they
were useful has had them converted
into two closets, one opening out Of
her dining room, the other On the
second floor. The steps were removed
bodily and a glass door opened into
the dining room from where they had
been. The space inside she had pan.
e1ed and rows of shelves were built
in, well up to the ceiling. The lower
ones were used for china and the up
per ones for preserves. A small win
dow cut into the side yard admitted
light into what was really a small
she1f-lined room. The whole cost lit
tie. Upstairs a capacious linen closet
filed in the vacant space.
Another woman who did not wish to
have the stairs actually taken out had
the upper landing converted into a
closet, but left the stairs underneath,
using them from the first floor as a
store closet for brooms, buckets and
the like.
