Corn ChOwder.

To make the chowder, cola cooked
ears of corn may be utilized. Crate
or cut from the cob enough to make
a quart Of corn. Cut into small
pieces one-half pound bacon or fat
salt pork, and cook in a frying pan
until brown. Just before it reaches
this stage add a medium-sized onion
minced fine and brown also. Put into
a stew pan a layer of diced potatoes,
sprinkle over some Of the Drowned
onion and bacon, then a layer of cut
corn, with salt and pepper to season.
Next, add another layer Of potatoes,
more bacon, onion and corn and so
on until all the material has been
used, having corn at the top. 1t will
require about four or five potatoes,
dependent upon size. Add a cup and
three-quarters of boiling water,
the pot and cook gently for thirty
minutes. Make a cream sauce, using
two tablespoons of each of butter
and -four and two cups Of hot milk.
When cooked smooth and thick, add
to the kettle Of chowder, a few crack
ers broken and stirred in at the last,
and a tablespoonful of minced pars-
ley. Serve hot.-Washington Star.

Ham Sandwich.

The secret Of the delicious ham
sandwiches served at an afternoon
tea last week was in the cooking OF
the ham and the abundance Of mayon-
naise used in mixing the meat. The
ham had been broiled until it was
brown and then ground very e and
mixed plentifully with mayonpeise.
The meat may be cooked in the wen,
a thin slice being allowed to bake
until it is we'll Drowned, or the meat
may be fried. There is a more def
lite favor about ham cooked in any
of these ways than there is il it is
boiled.-New York Sun.

IDEAS, NOT BANCIES.
The Retired Literary Man Lays Down
a Rule For Composition.

The Retired Literary Man Lays Down
a Rule For Composition.
"When in doubt-don't.
"That, gentlemen" said the retired
literary man to his class of ambitious
young literary aspirants, would be a
good maxim for you to hang up over
your writing table, its application for
you being:
Don't write unless you have some
thing to write.
UNLESS an idea ome to you with
at least some feature of it sharply de-
fined don't try to write it-noW; and
never, if you can so train and so deny
yourselves, mistake a mere fancy for
an idea. We have many pleasing
| fancies that, bright as they may be,
are still but fleeting, intangible; that
will not bear mailing down. Don't
waste your time trying to put such
fancies into form, for the more you
work over them the more you will
rend them, till you have left Of them
but ~colorless shreds and patches dry
and useless, like so many dusty cob
webs, and like cobwebs finally to be
brushed away.
I'VE have, I repeat, many pleasant
fancies which will not bear the rude
handling involved in transcription,
though in passing they may, as gentle
| showers do the earth, help to make
fruitful our mental field. Enjoy
them; but let them pass, content thus
to enjoy them, and satisfied with such
stimulation as they may afford. The
| idea worth writing and worth writing
now, I say again to you, will come to
you with al least some feature Of it
| sharply defined; with something
about it that will make to you a di-
rect, living, personal appeal; it will
be something that you awake to and
| greet with q grateful smile.
(which brings me to say that such
ideas may still be but vital fragments,
perhaps the striking opening, or may
be the telicitous ending of a story;
or it may be that there come to you
both at once; and happy you we'll may
be if so your brain provide you. With
what inspiration you may now set
out, with what suspicious beginning
and with what joyous ardor you may
now press on to that felicitous end
ing! This is something worth while;
a joy to you, as, let us hope, it may
be to YOUR reader.
Cor there may come to you, all
| alive, an idea that may be vital and
yet be but a fragment and even as
such complete, not bringing with 1T
any scheme or clear clue. Don't rude
ly wrestle with this. Treasure it,
but put it away. store it in your mind
to take root and there to grow. 1t
will attract other ideas to it, grad
ually but surely it will form, and then
some day and suddenly perhaps it will
say:
Now write mel

McEwen's Decision.

Not long ago Justice McEwen sat
on a COW case: that is, a case involv-
ing money due one man for boarding
the cow Of another. The wrangle
was as to what the board was worth.
One attorney called three or four
liverymen and got their testimony on
the cost of boarding a horse. OF
course the opposing counsel objected
and declared such testimony to be in
competent on the ground that the
cost of boarding a horse is not the
same as the cost of boarding a COW.
This the other attorney conceded,
but he explained that he was going
to follow up the testimony Of the
liveryman with expert testimony to
show how much less, if any, it costs
to keep a COW than 4 horse.
"Oh, if you are going TO work on
that plan" put in McEwen in judicial
tones, you might as we'll start in
with elephants and work down to
COWS by gradual sta3es."-Cleveland

When forty-seven, Franklin was
chosen a member of the Royal Socie-

Later he was elected an honorary

was printer, business man, inventor,

He died at eighty-four, having
lived a very full, active, useful and
healthy life. Here is his epitaph,

SEORTNESS OF BREATH.
Some of Its Causes-Treatment by
Systematic. Exercise.

Respiration in health and under
normal conditions Of rest or moder-
ate exercise is an unconscious act, al
most as much so as digestion or the
beating Of the heart, but it is very
easily disturbed, I've in health, and
in certain diseases its disturbance is
often one Of the most distressing
symptoms. The short breath fol-
lowing violent exertion, such as run
ming or hill climbing, is familiar to
every one. 1t is due to the increased
call for o~xygenation of the blood AID
tie temporary inability Of the heart
to pump the blood in sufficient vol
ume through the lungs.
When shortness of breath is
brought about by moderate exercise
or mental excitement, it is due to
some abnormal condition, such as
anaemfa, obesity, a weak heart Or in
digestion. This tendency is relieved
by attention to the weak point, what
ever it may be, and a judiclous sys-
tenn of exercise-a sort of modified
training.
Permanent shortness Of breath, or
dyspLoea, as it is technically called,
is a more serious affair, aid is usual
ly due to some actual disease. What
the disease is of which this dyspnoea
is a symptom can often be discovered
only by a careful and thorough medi-
cal examination of all the organs Of
the body.
It is often called asthma and
treated at home by inhaling the
fumes of burning inter paper or by
some other of the ordinary remedies;
but asthma is a distinct disease, al
though it's true nature is not yet def
nitely determined. 1t occurs in par
oxysms, usually at night, in the inter-
walls of which the breathing is Gener-
ally easy and quiet. Permanent dys-
pnoea is another matter and is an ir-
dication of something wrong. 1t may
be due to a great variety Of causes,
only a few of which can be mentioned
here.
Anaeria, or poverty OF blood, may
give rise to permanent dyspncea, as
we'll as to shoTtness of breath on en-
ertion. The symptom is q regular &C.

chest.
Anything that interferes with the
fee action OF the heart. such as weak
ness CT the cardiac muscle Or disease
of the valves of the heart, pressure
by fatty deposits. an enlarged liver or
gas in the stomach, will produce
shOrtness of breath.

made within Il circle, a square. an OBJ
long square, an oval or within a leaf

and most beautiful lettering devices
to find the backgrounds filled in with
darned work, with scedstitch, with
basket weave or some small lattice
pattern. This method is intended to
throw the letters into relief, at the
same time that it renders the initial
more ornate and beautiful.
