WOnlanly Wisdom.

To fit large cork to small
bottle, cut two wedge shaped
bits from the narrow end of the
cork.
Wash bread boards and mixing
bowls, or anything IN which -four
is used, IN clear, cold water, US.
ing a small scrubbing brush.
A wholesome breakfast dish
may be made from wheat fresh
from the granary. Soak it over
night and cook it all day on the
back OF the range. This makes
food unequalled as to nutriment,
and great favorite with all who
have been served with 1t. A bowl
of this wheat, served with rich
milk, makes a good breakfast for
a growing chlld.
Potato soup: Boil a quart OF
potatoes and an onion until
thoroughly cooked. Pour of the
water. Add a piece of butter the
size of an egg, and beat the whole
well with a fork or wooden spoon.
Heat a quart of milk and pour
over this mixture. Salt and pep.
per to taste, Keep it hot on back
of stove until served, but do not
allow 1t to boil after the milk has
been added.
The right way to poach eggs:
Have a saucepan Of water boiling
hot, but not actually bubbllng.
Break the eggs, one at time,
into a saucer and slide them into
! place IN the water. Draw the
pan aside where they can not
boil, and baste the water over
them with a spoon till they are
covered with a thin veil Of white.
Have ready slices OF bread toast
ed, buttered and cut in pieces the
size of the eggs and arranged on
a hot platter. AS each egg is
lifted out on a SKINNER, trim of
the ragged edges and slide 1t on
the toast.
Sponge cake made in this way
will keep fresh and moist longer
than the old-fashioned kind: To
seven eggs take half a pound OF
-four and three-quarters of
pound of sugar and the juice and
grated rind of a lemon. Pour
over the sugar half cupful OF
boiling water and let 1t boil. Beat
whites and yolks of eggs well to-
gether, and when sugar Is boiled
to a clear syrup, pour it over
them, beating the whole until II
is thick and hight. Stir IN the
-four lightly and add the lemor
last of all. Bake in a slow oven
If properly made it will bt
wonderfully light and delicate.

Human Skull Found in Pasture.

Charlotte Observer.
Much mystery is attached 70
the finding OF human skull yes
terlay in the pasture of Mr.. John
kimball. a prominent farmer 0f
the county. with residence some
eight miles from the city. Excite
ment reigned supreme when Il
was discovered that the skull
had been shattered with a pistol
ball. which had entered squarely
in the centre of the forehead and
emerged near the right ear 1t Is
said by those who examined the
gruesome article that the former
owner thereof could not have
been dead more than a month
as the skull was in perfect con
dition.
1t will be brought to hte city
today for the purpose of a med
ical examination, in order to de-
termme whether the deceased
was a white man or a negro.
While no one has been missed
of late in that section OF the
county, much interest is being
manifested and developments are
expected as a result of the hives
tigation which will be commenced
Immediately. Mr.. Kimball stated
that while he had no idea that
the object of their search was
a human body that he had notie-
ed for a month a continuous as
sembly of vultures about the spot
where the skull was found, and
that he has Thought that the car
cass of some animal was the
cause of visitation. This strength
ems the belief of the officials
that the body was not in the
thicket for more than 30 days.
