AIMS Potato Rolls.

Boil two potatoes in a bright, clean
saucepan. so the water in which they
are boiled will! not turn black. When
soft and mealy drain, saving the wa
ter. Mash the potatoes fine and
creamy, add to them a teaspoontul
shortening, a level teaspoonful salt,
a t%easpoonful or more of sugar, a
mint scalded milk, a pint OF the waite"
in whi,h the potatoes were boiled and
a compressed least cake dissolved in
four tablespoonful water. Now add
about a pint and a half good bread
-four that has been sifted and beat
thoroughly.
Cover lightly and stand in warm
place for two hours or until light.
Add enough more -four to maze a
soft dough and knead lightly until
the mixture loses it's sickness and
becomes soft and relvety. Put back
in a bowl, grease the top lightly with
butter, lard Oh drippings, so that no
crust will be formed, and set out OF
tie drauyht. When doubled in bulk
land it will take about an hour and
a half or two hours to blister and
crack knead into a round ball, then
cut into long strips about as large
around as a rolling pin.
From these strips pinch off dough
by tablespoonful, making tiny rolls
Grease these lightly over the top
with melted butter, then fold over SO
that the creased surface comes to the
middle, letting the edges come almost
together. AS they rise they naturally
open a little, and If folded only half
way over they are apt to open too far.
Put into a dripping pan about an inch
apart and set in a cool place for about
an hour to rise or until raised half
their bulk.
Put into a quick oven for about
fifteen minutes, whence they will
emerge brown, fragrant and crusty
outside, but delicate and tender in
the ~centre.-Washington Star.

A CHILD OF THE UNITED STATES.
General Batcheller's Story Of His
DAUGHTERS Meeting King Edward.

General George Sherman Batchel-
Ter, who died in Paris a couple of
weeks ago, was fond Of telling a
pretty story of his first term of SER
vice in Egypt as Judge of the 1nterna-
tional Court at Cairo. During that
period King Edward, then Albert Ed
ward, Prince of Wales, made. a visit
to the Khedive's realm and a great
official reception vas given to him at
Alexandria. Of purse General Batch
eller was one of the guests, and as
it was an open air event he took his
daughter with him, who was a small
person, five or six years old.
Now the young lady had heard a
good deal about the Prince and she
had plans of her own in regard to
him. So it happened that when the
proceedings were at their height Cen
eral Batcheller missed her from his
side. While he was looking for her
she was edging her way through the
crowd of English and Egyptian Off
GERS, diplomats and other high func-
tionaries until she reached the
Princes side, where she stood for
some time, as her father learned later
on, watching him intently.
At last she seemed to be quite sure
of his good nature, for she reached
out her hand and gently stroked his
left hand as it rested on the handle
of his sword. The Prince turned
around with an astonished express
sion, but when he saw the pretty
child's face smiling up at him he
smiled amiably himself, stopped and
shook hands with her and asked who
she was. She answered:
I'm Miss Kate Batcheller, Of the
United States"
The Prince was greatly amused,
and when they told him who her ia
Their was, he expressed a wish to
meet the General, and complimented
him on his "r~esolutely American little
girl" as he put it.-New York Sun.

A little whiting put on a damp
cloth will clean paint easily n we'll.
Hams which are packed in pulver-
lied charcoal will continue fresh for
from five to ten years.
Mix one teaspoon corn starch with
n CUP salt for table use and it will
never gather dampress.
If darning must be done in the
evening it will be found much easier
if a light colored darnins ball be
used.
To remove the skins Of cooked
beets, let them lie a few minutes in
cold water and the skins will slip of
easily.
If you will varnish your linoleunl
about every three months it will last
much longer than without the coats
of varnish.
To clean your gilt picture frames
rub lightly with hot spirits OF WINE
or oil of %turpentine and apply with
small sponge Use the liquid spar
ingly.
Nails used in bathrooms and kitch-
ems on which damp cloths and towels
may be hung should be dipped III en-
amel, so that they may not leave
rusty marks.
Potato parings dried carefully and
kent in a glass jar are handy things
IN start a fire. Also infinitely safer
than coaxing a blaze with kerosene
or the even more deadly gasoline.
To keep insects from your cereal,
empty it into a glass jar with a screw
ton. Coffee and tea should be put
into alright receptacles, IL olive
oil should be kept in a cool and dark
place.
A good idea il to sew a narrow
white cotton tape on white p~etticoats
&C Won would skirt braid on a dress.
When frayed it can be easily re-
placed and thus prevent the throwing
away of a petticoat which is other
wise good.
To clean silver have a pan contain
ing two gallons of cold water. In this
dissolve a piece of washing soda
about the size of an egg and heat to
boiling point. Let the silver soak in
this for three or four minutes, keep
Ing it boiling. Lift out with wire
spoon or fork, wash In hot soapsuds,
and wipe quickly with dry towel.
This will not ipjure solid or plated
