Hominy Cakes Fried hominy
cakes are quite dainty for luncheon.
After the hominy has been served for
breakfast, pour it in shallow dish
or mould and let it cool. When
ready to fry, cut in slices half an inch
thick, dip in beaten egg which has
had two tablespoonfuls of water
added, then sprinkle lightly with
-four or cracker crumbs. Fry in but
ter or lard until golden brown.
Sunbeam Cake-Beat the yolks of
seven eggs until very thick. Set
these one side, and taking the whites
of the eggs, and adding small pinch
of salt and little cream of tartar,
beat until very stiff. Then add one
cupful of fine graduated sugar. Beat
thoroughly, and add one teaspoonful
of orange extract and the beaten
yolks. Beat lightly and stir in one
scant cupful of flour. sifted thorough
ly. Bake in moderate oven forty or
fifty minutes.
Beet Soup-Into one pint of water
crate four new beets that have been
scraped. Cook slowly for twenty
minutes. Brown a slice of onion in
one tablespoonful of butter and cook
until soft. Place in a porcelain dish
and set over the fire in pan of boil
ing water. Add the beets, one quart
of milk, bay leaf and blade of
mace. Moisten one tablespoonful of
cornstarch in cold water, add to the
ingredients and cook until creamy.
Season with salt and pepper and pass
through fine sieve. Before serving
stir in one tablespoonful of butter.

BEANS OR REEFsTEAK.

The papers are just now publishing
statements to the effect that beans,
peas, lentils and peanuts contain
twice as much uric acid poison as
does meat, and that the natives of
India suffer greatly because of the
amount of uric acid contained in the
dahl which they eat. This is an
error. According to Professor Hall,
beans contain four grains of uric acid
to the pound, whereas beefsteak con-
tains fourteen grains, liver nineteen
grains and sweetbreads seventy
grains to the pound. And meat con-
tains nearly three times as much
water as beans or other legumes, so
it will be readily seen that for a
given quantity of food, meat contains
nearly fifty times as much uric acid
as an equal quantity of beans, peas
or lentils.

NEW BLANKETS.

Incoming blankets have the sur
face marked off in alternating squares
of white and color, as white and pale
blue, white and pink, white and red
and so on.
Blocks are of even size throughout.
The effect is decidedly new and out
of the ordinary.
Unusual also are others made with
borders formed of large flowers.
Owing to faultiness of design and
over-intense coloring these first ar
rivals fail to achieve anything which
can be styled attractiveness. How
ever, they embody new idea. Sub
sequent output may rectify the faults
of the drawing and color.

Micro-Chemical detection Of Copper

Micro-ChenicaI Detection of Copper.
Meerburg and Filipps (Pharm.
Zeit.) say that copper can easily be
detected under the microscope by
means of cesium chloride, which
gives with copper double salt in
the form of handsome red crystalline
needles or prisms. These crystals
are observable when only extremely
small proportions of copper are
present. If much cesium chloride
be added, yellow crystals form, which
become red on the addition of lit
tie cuprous chloride. Cobalt some-

reaction; lead and bismuth are in.

To Avoid stagnation.

Learn as much as you can about all
sorts of things, and so make this
world, while you live in it, a per-
petual source of interest and surprise
and qualification. That will keep
your mind from stagnating. And
then get into the way of feeling for
other peoples troubles, and doing
what you can to help them, and that
will keep your heart from stagnating.

I'LL AND FREEZING THREE DAYS
Paralyzed Man Lay AIone-Horse.
Took Him to Neighbor.

Hartford, Conn.-Suffering from
temporary paralysis, Cornelius
O'Meara, farmer, lay in his house
in Tariffville for three days without
food or water, in an atmosphere that
was near zero most of the time.
O'Meara was in his barn when he
was stricken. After lying on the
barn floor several hours he managed
to drag himself to the kitchen of his
house. He could go no further.
On the fourth morning he was bet.
ter and was able to drag himself te
the barn, harness horse to Sleigh
and climb in. He was too weak to
guide the horse, but the animal went
without guidance to the nearest
neighbours and stopped. Swathed in
bandages and suffering intensely
from rheumatism, OMeara was re.
moved to st. Francis Hospital, in
Hartford.

WHAT a FRArHRR BED DOES.

"Few people, even physicians them
selves, seem to know the principal
reason why. medical science condemns
the use of feather beds in winter as
we'll as in summer, said New York
physician recently.
"It is because feather beds are
highly hygroscopic--a rather formi-
dable word, but one meaning simply
that feathers readily absorb and con-
dense moisture. The body is con-
stantly throwing off waste matter
through the skin and the lungs. The
feathers in the bed will absorb this
waste matter as readily as it will
simple atmospheric moisture. The
feathers retain the waste matter dur
ing the day when the bed is cold,
even when it is aired, unless also
warmed by sunshine during the time
it is exposed to the air.
cat night when the body of the
sleeper warns the bed the feathers
renew their microscopic action and
throw off the waste matter absorbed
the night before. The susceptible
body of the sleeper is soon surround
ed by dense and highly poisonous
atmosphere, the accumulative effect
of which cannot help but be very in
furious. IN. Y. Times.

HE e1vErH HIs LOVED ONES SLEEP.

He sees when their footsteps falter, when theiI
hearts grow weak and faint
He marks when their strength is failing, and
listens to each complaint;
He bids them rest for season for the pathway
has grown too steep;
And folded in fair green pastures.
He giveth His loved ones sleep.
Like weary and worn out children that sigh for
the daylight's close,
He knows that they oft are longing for home
So he calls them in from their labors, when the
shadows around them creep.
And silently watching DER them,
He giveth His loved ones sleep.
He giveth it. oh, SO gently, as mother will hush
The babe that she softly pillows 80 tenderly on
her breast.
Forgotten now are the trials and sorrows that
For with many a soothing promise
He giveth His loved ones sleep.
He giveth III Friends the dearest may never
this boon bestow;
But He touches the dropping eyelids, and placid
the features grow
Their foes may gather about them. ana storms
may round them sweep.
But guarding them safe from danger,
He gfveth His loved ones sleep.
All dread of the distant future. all cares that
press today,
lessly passed away.
No call nor clamOr can rouse them from elum-
ber6 so pure and deep,
For only His voice can reach them
Who giveth His loved ones sleep.
Weep not that their tolls are over weep not
that their race is run;
God grant we may rest as calmly, when our
work like theirs is done
Till then we would yield with gladness our
treasures to Him to keep,
And rejoice with the sweet assurance-
He gfveth His loved ones sleep.

EXCLUSIVE PRIVILEGE.

The late General Shafter used to
enjoy telling how during the Civil
War, several wounded officers and a
few privates were going upthe valley
of Virginia, when a rain came on,
forcing all hands to take refuge all
night in school house.
It chanced that during the night a
skunk had found its way under the
floor, and by and by had announced
its presence after its we'll known ef-
fective manner.
The officers all walked up, but, be-
ing gentlemen and each supposing
that the others were still asleep, they
kept silent. At last one of the pri-
Yates, a German, could restrain him
self no longer.
"Mein Gott |" he exclaimed. "Dis
is awful Dey shleeps und | wakes
und I haf got to shmell itall pip

A GIRLS HEELS.

eff you want to know whether a
girl is slovenly or not look at her
heels,'' said the wise woman to the
young man who was contemplating
matrimony. "Her gown may. be pref
ty, her hat becoming, her neckwear
trim and neat and her gloves well fit
ting, but if her heels are run over look
out for her. Her trimness in other
respects simply denotes that she will
make an effort to keep things tidied
and in order only when she is urged
to or because she has some special
provocation. But by nature she is
slack. The man that marries a girl
with perpetually run over heels will
find her coming to the breakfast table
as soon as the honeymoon is over in
a tumbled kimono and with her hair
in curl papers. She never will be a
good housekeeper.
ION the other hand, I've seen girls
who maybe did not have such trim
appearance, whose hair was apt to be
little flying, but whose heels Testde
firmly on the ground, and never did
| discover they were In the slovenly
class. Maybe they were not careful
enough of outward appearances, but
they kept their buttons sewed on, rips
repaired, spots sponged off and their
rooms in immaculate order" +"
