Home Made Sausages.

The meat should be chopped very
fine. When ready for the seasoning
put in just water enough to enable
you to mix the ingredients equally.
Be careful not to use more than Is
required. To twelve and a half
pounds of meat put a gill Of fine salt,
a heaping gill of powdered Sage, and
half a gill Of ground pepper. Let
the measure be exact. Take STRONG
cotton cloth, Of such a size that, when
filled, it will be as large around as a
common half pint mug. Sew up only
a quarter of a yard, then fill it tight
so far; then sew another quarter and
fill it, and so on until you reach the
end, then the end tie up. Dip the
bag in strong salt and water and dry
it before filling it. Keep in a cold,
dry place.-New York World.

Cream of Asparagus Soup.

Cut the stalks of a bunch of aspar-
agus into half-inch lengths and boil
slowly for an hour in three cups OF
sailed water. When the stalks are
tender, drain through a collander,
pressing and rubbing the asparagus
that call the juice may exude. Re-
turn the liquid to the fire, and keep
it hot while you cook together in a
saucepan a tablespoonful Of butter
and one of flour, and pour upon them
a quart of milk. Stir until smooth

Birds Killed by Hal.

"a singular feature of the storm OF
last Sunday night on the East Side,'
said George Fix, of the State House
force, was the killing of birds by
the hailstones. The area over which
the fall Of hail was heavy was not
large, but the stones did pelt down in
a way that threatened to break the
slate in the roofs.
"The English sparrows, as every
one knows, choose thick foliage trees
as their roosting places, depending
on the leaves to protect them from
the rain. But the leaves, nc matter
how thick, were no protection from
those heavy hailstones, and the spar
rows were killed by the hundreds in
the vicinity of Miller avenue and
Dryden Road.
In front of the Evangelical
Church there are a lot of thick COW
cred naples, which have formed a
choice roosting place for the sparrows
this summer. There they caught 1t
thick and heavy, and the slaughter of
the birds was fearful. Monday morn
ing we counted 312 dead sparrows
under those trees, and no doubt many
that were killed were swept into the
sewer by the storm water that ran
through the streets.
Some suggested electricity as the
cause, but there was no striking by
lightning in the vicinity, and the
wires of telephone companies do not
run through those trees. They must
have been hit by the hailstones,
knocked into the water and drowned"

Mexico's Forgotten Towns.

The Geographical Commission ap-
pointed seven years ago to map the
towns of Mexico has reported the dis
covery of 1879 towns which were
no1 officially known to exist and were
subject TO no Federal control. While
some of these places range from 5000.

are presumably small villages.-New

Tri~ Waist Line.

The question of keeping the shirt
waist trig about the waistline is one
that always is a matter of concern to
the particular dresser. A satisfac-
tory way of bringing about the de-
sired result is to wear a belt of web
bling, an inch or an inch and a half
wide, directly under the outer skirt
band, fastening it with a buckle. This
enables one to draw the band as
tightly as necessary, so there is no
possibility of the waist itself slipping
above it.

Fisherman Dodged Swordfsh.

The fishing schooner Dorcas was
cruising off Georges Thursday when
her lookout espied a big swordflsh.
The man in the cradle drove the iron
and hooked the fish.
James Wallace went in his dory to
get the fish. The swordfsh saw him
coming and charged directly at him.
Wallace had just time to scramble to
the stern when the fish struck the
boat and the sword penetrated the
dory so that nearly two feet of the
blade extended through the hole. The
fish was rendered helpless, and Wal
lace knocked it on the head.-Boston

Seed Cakes.

A simple rule for plain but excel
lent seed cakes calls for one cup OF
butter and two cups of sugar beaten
to a cream, two cupfuls of baking
powder, sifted together three times,
a pinch of salt, two tablespoonful OF
caraway seed and three tablespoon
fuls of sweet milk. More flour may
be added if not quite stiff enough to
roll. Turn out on a Toured board
and roll with a Toured rolling pin un-
til nearly as thin as a wafer. Cut
into round or oblong cakes and bake
in a rather quick oven. Some house.
keepers prefer to add a couple OF
eggs to this recipe, which makes the
cookies a little harder.-New York

Newest Outing Hats.

If a woman sees a soft wide hat in
fawn or brown velour trimmed with
a grouse wing and a ribbon, she must
not buy it for herself, buttake it home
for husband or brother. This is the
newest importation in outing hats for
men. So far they have not been
worn, but the shops are making every
effort to sell them.

From the IOnian Isles.

Styles for evening frocks are SO
novel that no one takes to them at
first. They are so Grecian that one
must be educated to the Grecian
modes in order to appreciate the
drapings, which, to say the least, are
made to swing about the body like
sheets. Some of the dresses appear
to be composed of but n piece,
wrapped around and around the

The Legend Of
the Cigar Indian
Ey CHARLIE r. ANGELL.

Alone he stood amidst a noisy,
hurrying throng. His eyes were fixed
in a sightless gaze toward the setting
Sun. His head was made of wood and
his feathers were of painted tin. In
one hand he carried a bundle Of
wooden cigars, while the wooden fin
gers of the other hand grasped a
formidable looking tomahawk.
A traveller stopped to gaze.

Indian" he said.

it's so hard to think W., since I have
heard so much English as it is muir
dered by the rising generation, that I
might as well talk to you SO that you
will understand"
But how came you here?" asked
the traveller.
"It's quite a story" said the wood
en- chief, "but I'll tell it to you. If
don't, someone else will think it up
and put it into musical comedy. It's
a sad tale"
A sawdust tear trickled slowly
down the weather beaten face. .
"Come on with the tale" said the
taraveler, as he took a seat on the
wooden base of the cigar sign.
ut was this way" began the chief.
"Once I was a real live human being
just like yourself. I played with the
other pappooses and had a high old
time. You read of Hiawatha, didn't
you?"
The stranger admitted it.
That's me-" said the chief,
proudly.

Pauk. I'm going to quit smoking
"He quit smoking and 1t was a
