cveIers to Plav w. H. s.

What is being styled the game of the year is booked for this evening in the Y. NJ. c. A gymnasium between the Thread City Cyclers and the Windham high school basketball teams. Great rivalry exists between these lives, owing to the fact that number of the clubs lives were for mer stars of the high school.
 The high school outfit Is generally conceded to be about as fast as any combination ever turned out at the local school at one time and are just at present playing in top notch form, and if they should be able to trounee the Cyclers' team the highest rung of their ladder of ambition would have been attained. The teams will prob ably be made up of the following play CTS:
 Thread City Cyclers-Capt. Kelley, Card, Lyman, Wood. Woodward, Park CT and Bruce.
 Windham high school-Captain Richmond. Burns. Vanderman. Leon ard. Jordan Green and Downer.

What Is Frumenty was former

porridge of hulled wheat stewed in
milk, generally favored with spices
and enriched with currants.
Braget, or bragot, is warm, spiced
ale, commonly drank in Lancashire;
cheap and slightly heady.

egging?" 1t is applied to the custom
of rolling eggs at Easter and the
word Pace" is corruption of the He,
brew "Pasche" or spring festival OF
the Passover
What part of the animal is the
sweetbread? There are two kinds OF
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in the throat and
the heart The best are the throat
sweetbreads of lambs and calves. The
latter are the ones most commonly
served. 1t should always be soaked
in cold water for two hours before
cooking. Baked sweetbreads are most
digestible.

Change in the Home.

There is ma luck ABBOTT the hoose,
There is ma luck at a.,
There is ma luck ABBOTT the hoose,
When my guide mons ava.
That was, of old, the sentiment; the
guide mon was Indispensable; he
helped with the home affairs, by coun-
sci, at least, if not with actual Drawn
and muscle, and was a factor to be
reckoned with in the smallest detail
of home life.
Somehow, and why, nobody knows,
things are different lately; the guide
mon cuts small figure in the house
hold, except to provide the expenses,
and sign the checks He is not con-
suited about details, and even the Sc
lection of the home. house or fiat, is
left to the wife. 1t is, of course, one
of the penalties exacted by the swing
of the pendulum toward woman's free
dom that she is consulted in all mat
tiers, and that to her taste and desire
is left the arrangement, selection,
management of home and children.
But 1t is, nevertheless, penalty, for
much of the sweetness of the old
home life lay in the truth of the old
song above: There is ma luck ABBOTT
the hoose" without the guide mon"
Gradually the husbands and wife's
spheres are growing apart, and while
the mother is gaining in importance in
the family life, is it not, perhaps. at
the expense of the wife?

Use for Strawberry Baskets.

At this season, when these are a
perfect nuisance, try making a sub
stantial use of them in this way: Take
four quart baskets, and cover with a
layer of cotton batting. Then cover
with any pretty material, silkoline,
challie, sateen or silk, leaving half
inch ruffie at the top for heading
This makes four separate compart-
ments which should be fastened to-
gether in the center with bow of rib
bon. 1t makes useful sewing basket,
having the separate places in which
to keep buttons, thread etc.

Styles in Bread.

We are not prone to associate style
with the staff of life. But it is true
that the fashions in bread change as
they do in the less plebeian fare.
Corn bread was much more popu-
lar in the last century than the pres
ent style demands, and time was
when people said they would just as
soon open the mouth and let the
moon shine in" as eat bakers bread.
The 'coarser make of bread, the
corn pones, the unleavened bread our
pioneer forefathers ate with relish
these are out-of-date, and, except the
poorest classes of the foreign coun-
tries, the staff of life is white and
light, and altogether quite luxurious
Jannocks.-This is a kind of old
fashioned fare, and introduced in the
early chronicles of this country, as
bread made by the early Dutch set
tiers. These and the Throdkins are
not quite outof-date. The Jannocks
were loaves of coarse, oaten bread,
and Throdkins were curious combin-
alton of oatmeal and bacon.
