uNLEAvENEn BREAD.

One of the best recipes for making
this bread is here given: Take what
-four is required for the number of
persons to be fed. Add a little salt,
though the quantity should be small;
wet with just water enough to make
into soft dough- stiff enough to be
handled. Work and beat it-the more
the better. Have your oven and pan
sissing hot; roll the dough into a
cake about half an inch thick, cut
with a biscuit cutter, and lay in the
hot pan and put into the hot oven.
The oven should be hot enough so
that the heat will instantly strike a
steam-tight crust over bottom, top
and sides, and thus turn the water
in the dough into steam, which this
crust retains, and which puffs up all
parts of the dough and lightens the
bread. If the dough is thick it will
press out this steam, leaving the
bread heavy; but the crust of the
thin loaf confines it where it is gen.
Grated, thus leavening the loaf Even
sour stomach will digest this bread
instead OF passing 1t off by fermenta-
ton. Gem pans, of iron or tin, should
be used in pairs, to have the best
effect. Fill the lower pan with the
dough (laying a biscuit in each cup)
and fit the upper one over the cups
in the lower, having both previously
very hot, and the steam will puff up
the dough enough to fill both halves.
The unleavened bread should be well
baked and crisp when done. Crisp
breads are better than soft done, as
mastication renders it finer and min
giles the entire mass with the saliva
more thoroughly. All hot breads
wad up into doughty mass, which
the gastric juice penetrates with diff
ficulty.

ORANGE CHARLOTTE.

Orange charlotte makes a fine sum-
mer dessert, good to eat and good to
look upon. Use half box of gela-
tine, one cup of sugar, one of orange
juice, the juice of one lemon, one
cupful and half of boiling water,
half a cupful of cold water, and four
Florida oranges of medium size. Soak
the gelatine in cold water for two
hours. Pour the boiling water on it
and then place the bowl in a pan of
boiling water, add sugar and stir un-
til dissolved. Now add orange and
lemon Juice and strain into a bowl.
Place the bowl in pan of ice water
and stir frequently until the contents
begin to CONCEAL. While they are
cooling, peel and slice the oranges,
Line quart charlotte mould with
them. AS soon as the jelly begins to
CONCEAL beat it vigorously. Continue
beating the preparation until it is
light and so thick that it flows in a
thick stream. Fill the charlotte
mould and set away to harden

been found in the stomachs of the

Recently, while fishing off the pier,
Jones caught good sized kingfish.
Upon cleaning the fish he found a

to them, although somewhat rough

of discipline, demanding military
obedience. For considerable
period in her later years she kept
small store, and is described as hav-
ing been garrulous and querulous.
Several years after the death of the
gunner, Hays, she remarked, her
second husband being Sergeant Geo.
McCauley. He Is said to have abused
her and to have lived on her earnings.
In 1922, year before her death, the
Pennsylvania Legislature recognized
her services in the War of the Revo-
luton by voting her the sum Of $40

A day or two ago c. E. Harris, the
hardware dealer, got consignment
of wire rat traps. In checking them
up he found that one was missing.
To-day he went to the freight office
to register complaint The trap
was found, where it had dropped out
of the wrapping in which they were
shipped
To their great surprise the trap
contained fifteen live rats. Thus, Mr..
Harris not only got his trap, but a
lot of lively rodents as an advertise
ment as to what the trap could do.
1t seems that the trap stood in line
with some crumbs that dropped when
one of the men was eating his noon
day meal, and these lodged in the
trap, serving as bait for the rats.

There was patriotic youth
Who dearly loved a maiden,
But, being very bashful, he
Proposing kept evading-
Until they went one glorious Fourth
To see the men parading.
The big guns doomed, the bugles blew,
The horses footsteps eiattered;
While rattling drums, exploding bombs,
Along the line were scattered;
And noisy boys fired crackers big
Till every nerve was shattered.

the part they played. Some have
figured in mans attire in both the
army and the navy, and for all whose
identity became disclosed there were
doubtless many others who preserved
the secret of their sex, despite the
proverbial tendency Of feminine mem
bers of society to make known the
facts which should be most sedulous-
ly concealed.
OF the American women who Lave
taken part in warlike scenes, none is
more widely known than "Mollie
Pitcher" the heroine of Monmouth.
This battle was one of the important
conflicts of the Revolution, and was
fought in the summer of 1778, when
the British troops, retreating from
Philadelphia. were overtaken and at
tackled in New Jersey by the CONT
mental forces under Washington. AL
though no decisive result occurred
from the battle, the fact that the
American forces were not repulsed
by the foreign foe gave heart to the
colonies to continue the efforts be-
gun two years before, and which were
to last five years longer before sue
cess was attained. In the troops
from Pennsylvania was John Hays,
a gunner in the First Artillery, Con-
tinental line. He had been accom-
panied By his wife when the troops
to which he belonged had been sent
to the field, and she busted herself in
doing laundry work for the officers.
On that July day, when the fight
ragged on the New Jersey plain, the
thermometer standing at ninety-six
degrees in the shace, Mrs. Mary Hays
busted herself in carrying water in a
pitcher frcm spring to the hot and
wearied troops. Here's Molly with
the pitcher" was frequently heard
from the thirsty Continenta!s, and
finally it was abbreviated to Here,
Molly Pitcher" and the sobriquet was
permanently substituted for her real
name when she displayed gallantry
and heroism which surpassed her linn
itations of sex.
The company in which Hays was
fighting and in which he was ram
mer was stationed on rising ground
between the brigades commanded by
Livingston and Varnum. In a dash
by British cavalry and infantry Hays
was shot down, but not killed, and a
call was made for some one to fill
his place. No man appeared, but his
wife, dropping the pitcher, picked up
the rammer which her husband had
held, and said she would avenge him.
She served with the smoking cannon
throughout the rest of the battle, and
her courage was commended by the
seasoned troops, The next day the
brave woman, with her garments
still soiled with the smoke of battle,
was summoned by General Greene,
who took her to Washington, by
whom her gallantry was praised and
who gave her commission as a SER
geant, under which she wore a cooked
hat and the insignia of her rank.
After her husbands death she con-
tinued to serve in the army, and she
was finally placed in the list of half
pay officers.
"Molly Pitcher" was born at Car
Isle, Pa, in October, 1744. Her
maiden name was Mary Ludwig, and
her father came to this country from
Germany. She was employed as .
servant in the family of General Will
lam Irvine, in Carlisle. and there in

PIMoLA AND CHEESE SALAD.

TlMOLA AND CEtEESE SALAD.
Put two cakes of cream cheese into
a bowl. Cut up two dozen olives, re-
moving the pits, and chop half a
dozen red peppers. Mix these with
the cream cheese, stirring until well
blended. Pack closely into dish
or mould and put on the ice. If pre-
ferred pimolas may be used instead
of the olives and red peppers; the
former being already prepared. In
this case about two dozen pimolas
will suffice. When ready to serve cut
the cheese in strips and lay on bed
of lettuce leaves; mayonnaise or
French dressing is served. This pro-
duces very pretty dish, the red
peppers and white cheese contrast
ing with the mayonnaise and green
salad. -American Home Monthly.

be saved were the day to be kept as
fast day once was in New England,

changed with difficulty, and 1t is
much easier to abolish the most dan

without depriying the youngsters of
