OFFICIAL COUNTY and cry PAPER
THURSDAY, APRIL Q, 1913
BROUGHT HIM DOWN TO EARTH.
Young Lawyer Himself Again with
Familiar Style Of Address.

The following anecdote, after re-
manning in storage many years, has
been recently busted and brought to
light:
A young and afterward distin-
guished attorney from an up-country
district of New York state was arguing
his first appeal in the old general term
Of supreme court. He had been in
many legal scrimmages in justices
courts, at home, but had never stood
In the awesome presence Of five Sc
date and learned judges of the SUI
preme court, in general term assem-
bled. His embarrassment was great.
He repeated himself and misplaced his
words SO often that 1t was quite evil
dent that he must soon be routed by
his own confusion unless something
should occur to break the SPELL
Finally, and just as he was founder
ing the deepest in a chaotic tumble OF
language and ideas, the presiding
Judge interrupted with the following
remark:
"Mr. Smithers, l believe it will be
q great relief to yourself and to the
court If you will address us In the
same free and informal way that you
doubtless use in addressing your local
Justice of the peace"
well, then" replied Smithers, Il
wish that while am busy alleviating
your honor's dense ignorance of the
law, you would keep your id mouth
shut" The court laughed heartily
and waved for him to proceed. He
grew eloquent and won his case In the
midst Of hearty applause.-The b.
hemian.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

To successfully bake a pie crust
without its filling, line it with paraffin
paper and fill with uncooked rice.
Enameled ware that has become
burned or discolored may be cleaned
by rubbing with coarse salt and vine
gar.
A teaspoonful of lemon juice to a
quart of water will make rice very
white and keep the grains separate
when boiled.
If eggs are to be boiled hard have
the water boiling when the eggs are
dropped in. This will prevent the
yolks from turning dark.
When curtains begin to give way,
haste large piece of thin white
cloth over weak parts before washing.
Boil in pillow slip or thin sack.
Green vegetables can be kept fresh
for days by wetting them and then
rolling them up IN paper, screwing the
ends to keep out the air.
More coal Is burned than neces-
sary by not closing the hampers when
the fire is not being used. In the
same way gas is wasted or any kind
Of fuel.
If the stiffness is out of your veil,
and 1t is still good, wrap 1t around
pasteboard roll, stretching full width,
and steam. Let 1t dry on the roll
and 1t will be good as new.

NEW IDEA IN SANDWICHES.
Dellcacy That Is Popular with Our
English Cousins.

An unusual sandwich is the Devon
shire. 1t is thoroughly English. Put
half pound Of Vienna -four into a
basin, add half a teaspoonful Of salt,
level teaspoonful of castor sugar and
a full teaspoonful Of yeast powder,
then rub two ounces of butter into the
-four, and when thoroughly mixed
moisten with a well-beaten egg and
enough milk to form a fairly soft
dough.
Knead the latter just sufficiently to
make it into perfectly smooth ball,
then turn it from the mixing basin on
to a Toured board, and after rolling
II out to about the thickness Of quar-.
ter Of an inch, cut it out into rounds
with a plain or fluted cutter of about
the size of five shilling piece and
bake the scenes at once on a Toured
tin. Just before they are done brush
them over with beaten egg, and on
taking them from the oven let them
cool on wire rack or sieve.
Shortly before they are required
SPLIT the scenes through the middle
with sharp knife and spread all the
rioccs with thick clotted cream, then
cover talf the number with layer of
honey and close the sandwiches.

Crown Of Lamb.

The success Of this dish depends
largely upon your butcher. You need
two racks Of young lamb chops They
should be cut and "frenched," but not
eatirely separated. These two racks
should be tied together with the bones
towards the inside, forming a perfect
circle. Put in bakingpan and roast
from 35 to As minutes, according to
the heat of your oven, basting the
meat frequently. This should be
served on large platter, and the in.
side of the Grown" should be filed
with two cans Of French peas that
have been heated with tablespoon of
butter. Garnish the outside of the
crown with Saratoga potatoes and
parsley. II your guests are not many
and you have an exceedingly large
platter, you can serve this entire
course on the one platter. .s

One of the most common accidents
is a burn. In case of bad burn do
not try to pull off the clothing. Cut it
off with sharp scissors. If any part
sticks to the burned surface never
try to remove 1t. Cut around and then
wet the remaining cloth with water
until 1t can be removed. Linseed oil
and lime water mixed make an excel
lent application. Wet a piece Of old
linen in this and lay 1t over the burn,
then cover 1t with a dry cloth and
hold It in place with bandage. Wet
fresh cloth as often as necessary.
II linseed oil is not at hand use table
oil, vasellne, or white Of egg.

SOME POINTS ON FURNISHING
Good Results That Can Be Obtained
from Small Expenditures.

Don't overcurtain windows. Light
enables one to see those accumula'
lions of dust and dirt which collect
SO rapidly on the appointments OF a
room, and 1t thus becomes stimulus
to cleanliness.
Abundance of light also makes for
cheerfulness, and thus, for its effect
on spirits, should be allowed free en-
try into rooms.
That bright sunlight fades the car
pet is only too true; but careful
housewives may consider whether the
injury should not be tolerated, in view
of the advantages secured by its in.
trusion. BY avoiding certain shades
of blue and by buying carpets OF
good quality the trouble may be in
large measure avoided
Don't cover floors with fitted car.
pets. A carpet square, with margin
Of at least 10 inches all round, costs
less and is preferable on hyglenic
grounds.
Carpet-surrounds Of excellent ap-
pearance may be made of parquet-
pattern linoleum. Plain linoleum is
possibly better still on the score OF
good taste as 1t interposes an unpat.
termed surface between the decora-
tion Of the carpet and the wall paper
The floor boards, If in good condi'
ton, may be made to serve without
any other treatment than staining and
oiling. This is usually very badly
done If done by the householder, and
it is better to employ tradesman
who understands such work than to
achieve an Indifferent result by ones
own efforts.

Plants Thrive on Steam.

A woman famous among her friends
for her thrifty house plants ascribe
her success to her practice Of steam
ing them.
Whenever they begin to droop and
look as If they needed 'toning up they
get treatment" she said recently.
She has a row of hooks arranged on
the bathroom wall over the tub, and
from these she suspends the pots by
strings to within two feet of the
water, the plants having previously
had thorough watering. The door
and windows are closed, with the ex-
ception Of a narrow crack left open
at the top of one Of the latter, and the
tub Is filled with water hot enough to
allow a gentle steam to rise and per-
wade the atmosphere.
In this position the plants are left
for an hour, and the operation is re-
peated until they are restored to
health. This of course only can be
done in a room with painted walls, as
the constant steaming will loosen
paper.

N. ", a lawyer, who has made study
