Skorn and Skouse

| was invited by one of the men in
the family to go with him one morn
Ing for drive of ten miles. as he
was going on business to see a bach
elor, 1t was near noon when the
business was completed, and the
bachelor invited us to stay for dinner.

added: I'm going to have skorn
and skouse for dinner"
That settles It, said my com,
panion; 3we'll stay"
AS I had read all the newspapers
In sight, and several stories in a mag
azlne had found on the table while
the business was being attended to.
now had nothing to do but watch
the preparations for dinner.
The "skouse' was made by putting
some beef drippings into an old-fash-
1oned~iron kettle, then two good-sized
onions were sliced into the drippings
and fried brown, then quart of
boiling water was added and several
large pieces of the day-before's pot
roast; now four potatoes were cut
into rather small pieces and put in
the kettle with the onions and meat.
When the potatoes were cooked, a
little thickening was added, and as
sure you the odor of that "skouse"
did make me hungry.
The "skorn," kind of hot bread
the home folks" had taught the
bachelor to make, was quickly put
together, and / have never eaten any
bread of the kind that was more pal
atable. Two teacupfuls of flour, two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one
half teaspoonful of salt, two table
spoonfuls Of sugar, two eggs and one
cupful of water were put into a milk
crock and stirred vigorously, then put
into gem pans, and baked half an
hour in pretty hot oven. When the
Askorn' was baked, they, for there
was just dozen of them, were beau
tifully Drowned, and looked most in
viting.
When the dinner was put upon the
table there was added to the above
good crisp cucumber pickles which
the "home folks" had made for him,
and they also made the shells for
lmpromptu pies. This pie was made
by pouring glass of raspberry jam
into the ready-made crust, or shell,
then cupful of whipped cream
poured over the top. Now, with good
country butter and rich cream for our
coffee, we had a dinner, it seemed
to me, good enough to serve to the
most fastidious.-Mary L. Kimmerly,
Gage County, Neb., in The Country
Gentleman.

Professor Alexander Graham Bell
comes back from England with the
degree of Doctor of Science conferred
upon him by Oxford to announce his
intention of making his man-liftina
machine a man-fying machine. DR..
Bells experiments have so far result
ed in the production of kite that
will carry a man up into the air. He
now proposes, according to the Bos-
ton Post, to attach motor that shall
propel man and kite through the air.
The genius which gave us the teles
phone may yet distance other com.
petitors in the realization of the
dream of man-fight.

To Europe in Three Days

At the last meeting of the Seleci
Committee of the House of Commons
a unanimous decision was reached IL
regard to the Collooney, Ballina and
Belmullet Railway and Piera bill. The
bill is important in respect that 1t
is a small part of the scheme pro-
noted at an estimated cost Of about
G5,000,000 for running new fast
transatlantic service from Blacksod
Bay to Halifax The promoters con-
template putting on three fast turbine
steamers, each estimated to cost ESQ.,.

claimed that the journey to Halifax
would be reduced to three and hall
days, with a proportional reduction
to either places in Canada, and by
means of the Canadian Pacific Rail
way a shorter route would also be
provided to China, Japan and Aus
