Steak en- Casserole.

Trim fat from a thick beefsteak,
place in a broad casserole or baking
dish with two tablespoonfuls of but
ter and a sliced carrot, sliced onion
and two bay leaves, and simmer in a
hot oven till the vegetables are lightly
Drowned. Now pour in a cupful or
more of the beef stock from which
the grease has been skinned, cover
the dish and bake for forty minutes.
Now add a dozen potatoes, either
boiled or Drowned, a dozen peeled
mushrooms if desired and a sprink-
ling of salt and pepper. At the end
Of another ten minutes in the oven
this time with the dish uncovered
sprinkle with chopped parsley and
serve.-New Haven Register.

Maple Foundation.

Put into a saucepan four cupfuls
Of brown sugar, two cupfuls of maple
syrup, two cupfuls of hot water and a
level teaspoonful of cream of tartar.
Stir over a slow fire until thoroughly
dissolved, but take care not to boil.
AS soon as it is dissolved wipe away
the grains that appear around the
edge of the pan with a damp cloth,
taking care not to jar the pan or let
any moisture from the sides fall back
into it. Now push the pan over the
hre and let it come to a quick boil.
Cook until it makes a soft ball when
dropped into cold water to test. Re-
move from the fire and cool very
gradually in the pan in which 1t was
cooked. Never try to hasten the
cooling by setting the pan in the
water. When cool, not cold, stir
theoretically until a thick, creamy
mass, then knead with the hands on
a marble slab, the longer the better.
When light and creamy put in an
sarthen dish and cover with a slightly
dampened cloth until ready to use,
which should not be under twenty
four hours at the least. Then flavor,
shape and make what combinations
with nuts you wish. If kept damp
this fondant will keep for weeks.
Avoid making any kind Of fondant on
damp days, as the sugar absorbs the
moisture from the atmosphere and
will not harden. If any fondant
comes out grainy after being stirred,
cover again with water, stir until
thoroughly dissolved, put on the fire
and cook again.-Washington Star.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
A New Sandwich.

A Joy in the sandwich line Is the
brown bread sandwich, with a cream
cheese filling, just tinged with garlic.
The garlic must be the young and
tender kind that is the bane OF the
dairyman and can be found only in
country meadows, and must be spar
tngly used at that or the app%reciative
guests will rue their feast.-NeW

Chicken Outlets.

Half a pound of cooked chicken,
cwo ounces of cooked ham or tongue,
one hard-boiled egg, two raw eggs,
sne gill of white sauce, six small
mushrooms, bread crumbs, salt and
pepper.
Chop the chicken and ham or
tongue finely, chop also the hard
boiled egg and mushrooms rather
coarsely, add seasoning OF salt and
pepper.
Stir the mixture over the fire for
O few minutes, then turn it on to a
plate and let it cool. Have ready a
deep frying pan Of fat.
When the mixture is cold divide 1t
Into even sized pieces: shape each
into a neat outlet. When all are
shaped brush them over with we'll
beaten egg and coat them with bread
crumbs. When a blush smoke rises
from the frying fat put in some OF
| the outlets and fry a golden color
Drain them we'll on white paper.
Stick a piece of parsley stalk in
the end of each outlet and serve them
On a lace paper.-New York Press.

Now, to get nearer home, let me
tell the experience of a farmer in
Northern Indiana who woke up to the
fact that he must give his soil a
square deal if he would get the same
from it in return. He first found out
what elements his soil most needed
and then he fertilized accordingly.
This cost him 81 to $1.40 an acre,
and he kept close tab on the results.
In a word, his fertilization cost has
been t%hirty-fve cents for the produc-
ton of twenty bushels of corn, and
he has had 500 per cent. left for
investment. This matter of treating
the soil is much like a bank. account.
If you keep drawing out and put lit
tie or nothing in, time will sooner or
later write mo funds" across the
face of the draft which you attempt
to make against it.
A farmer does not need to have an
elaborate scientific education to un-
derstand the really necessary things
about the elements which go into the
making of a crop. The main ones
are phosphorus, nitrogen and pot
ash. Phosphorus is the element
which makes things mature and go
to seed - which makes the ears of
corn and heads Of wheat fill with
plump and ripe kernels. Nitrogen
gives size to the plant and potash
contributes the element of health, or
stamina. When your crop is yellow
and does not grow to size it lacks
nitrogen; when it grows rank and
dark green and keeps on growing but
doesn't mature and produce grain it
lacks phosphorus; if, in addition, it is
inclined to lodge and the stalk or
straw is soft. and lacks polish you
know your land is short on potash.
Speaking roughly, a clay soil is
generally deficient in nitrogen and
| phosphorus, but contains potash.
The tendency Is for clay soil to bake
| and get hard, and the addition of a
little lime Is calculated to correct
this. Then the addition Of nitrogen,
either in the form of plant legumes
AS clover, for instance-or in COM
mercial phosphorus Cor phosphate)
will balance up the soil.
Black soils are commonly strong
in nitrogen and short of phosphorus
and potash and have a tendency to
become sour. Drainage, together
with a supply Of the lacking elements
and an addition of a little lime, is
the remedy needed.-Saturday Even

A Tucked Sleeve.

One gets rather weary of the ever
lasting sleeve formed of big, careless
tucks caught up n over the other
from elbow to shoulder; but a newer
idea is seen in the tucked sleeve that
Is treated perpendicularly, not horl-
zontally!-and the tucks are just as
big and careless and loose, and taper
off right up into the neckband, the
rest of the blouse-the bodice part OF
it-overhanging a corselet skirt or
one of the prevailing cummerbund
belts.

Panel Effects in Favor.

A feature of all the new skirts IS
the panel effect in the front n back.
In many skirts the front panel eX-
tends above the waist line and forms
a portion of the girdle. These panels
give a perfectly smooth fit, and are
universally becoming.

Spreading Collars.

It seems almost necessary to wear
some kind of a fancy pin to keep the
collar from spreading, and to hold in
place whatever bow or tie is worn.
At present there is a great fad for
wearing either a bird or quaint
Egyptian pin for this purpose.

JOHNSON OF MINNESOTA.

Whatever criticisms may be made
of the late Governor Johnson's
career, the last tributes paid to his
memory by his own state is evidence
of very wonderful love and affec-
ton. Few men in any commonwealth
have been so universally mourned.
When, by common consent, every
railroad train, every street car, every
machine shop, every place of busi-
ness, stopped throughout all Mime
when every public school and all
stores were closed in his memory, it
was tribute rare indeed, and one
that will go down in history. To be
sure, there must have been something
very human, very magnetic, and very
powerful about the character of a
man who could endear himself to a
people in this fashion. Perhaps it
was his prevailing amiability of tenn
per, his encompassing love of hu-
manity, his adorable simplicity, his
evident honesty of life, that made
him so much liked and esteemed
among men who knew him. He gave
heed to the little things of life. He
was natural, and his aim was true,
while his loyalty to purpose was abb
Nora. We have made brave fight"
No mans eyes ever closed over
more tender farewell. The world will
not forget these last pathetic words
spoken to his wife They are the
diamonds of thought that will gar
land his memory a

COMMON SENSE.

One often hears a man alluded to
as having good common sense; or
of another who gave common sense
talk" The application of such terms
IS an indication that the possessor of
common sense is one who puts on no
frills; who gets down to facts and
who deals in no generalities. 1t is a
great virtue to have common sense.
General Grant had common sense.
He was never "fashy," but got to the
highest round OF the ladder of fame
because he had common sense ideals,
and common sense ways of doing
things. Men who are given to doing
things in simple fashion, who do not
put on airs, are the ones whose opin-
ions are generally useful in guiding
others. Benjamin Franklin was al
ways regarded for his common sense,
and "Old Hickory General Jackson,
was another of this type. 1t takes
the best kind of a man TO enjoy the
title of a common sense man with
any degree of right, and men should
be guarded in cultivating the nearest
approach to it. Men of this type are
generally self-made men, who have
given themselves what education they
have, and no "Book-taught Bilkins"
is ever found in their ranks. Our
most successful business men are of
the common-sense brand, well-bal-
anced, of fine equipoise. who do not
fly off after false gods, but who stick
to their lasts and live by deeds rather
than words. A little common sense
is a good thing, and that man is for
tunate who has it. He is of prac-
teal turn OF mind always. The com
mon sense mother is the adorable
kind; a common sense girl is the low
able one, and a common sense boy
the one who gets along.

THE SPECIALIST.

The successful man of to-day is he
who enters upon some particular line of
endeavor and clings to that one thing
alone. The great lawyer is a special
ist; so is the physician. Specializing
in advertising reaps the best results.
The merchant who specializes, the far
mer, the gardener. all make better
headway by specializing upon some
specific line of work. Luther Bur
bank, the worlds great benefactor,
owes his tremendous success to the
fact that he left off at being an every
day gardener and specialized upon the
propagation of plant species. His work
has been characterized as the most inn
portant before the world to-day, be
cause he has done so much TO benefit
mankind in the growth of certain kinds
of food from trees and plants.
