Mission Weddings.

Within two minutes after the cab
stopped at the mission door the report
spread up and down the street that a
wedding was taking place inside.
Within another two minutes the room
was packed to the very doors. That
sudden rush of the crowd to the sane
tuary pleased the mission superin-
tendent.
'If | had money to spare" he said
"T would pay bonus to young couples
for getting married in a mission. The
moral effect of one wedding is worth
a dozen sermons. To get the best eff
feet the ceremony ought to be per
formed in the middle of the service,
No innovation that have ever intro
duced has had such SOLDERING effect
on the congregation. The example Of
a man once as far down maybe in the
social scale as themselves having be
come sufficiently regenerated to as.
sume the responsibilities Of life stirs
every bit of manhood there is in them.
"The trouble is. can persuade very
few couples to be married in mis-
sion. The bridegrooms do not mind,
but the brides want something more
exclusive"

DRUG HABIT GAINS IN PARIS
Wholesale Deeeneracy Threatens City,
Prominent Physician
Asserts.

Investigations following a recent
succession of fatalities in the Quarter
Latin have revealed that the drug
habit has gained on Parisians. In
one store alone dope fiends buy no
less than one hundred pints of cocaine
and morphine every week.
So prevalent is the dope habit that
a prominent physician declares he de.
tects it's victims by the score every
time he takes a round of the cafes.
Ether Is no longer fashionable, but
especially In the artist quarters NOR
phine is used recklessly. EvSzz the
uninitiated can detect those addicted
to it in an evenings stroll.
Paris, in the opinion of this physi-
clan, is the most drug-cured city in
the world, for while rich women of
other capitals secretly indulge in va
rious dangerous ways of stimulating
their jaded forces, the dope habit in
Paris has spread through every class
until wholesale degeneracy is threat

they say there's no prettier bit Of
scenery in Missouri. l like to hang
out the window here and watch the
bubbles and the shadows, and listen
TO the water and the wheels, well
l just couldn't live without them"
The old man with the -four busted
clothing and beard has a distinguished
ancestry, and in the family Bible are
the documents to prove it.
His grandfather, Samuel Watts, was
a volunteer soldier in the army of Gen
eral Lafayette which came from
France and fought with Washington
in the Revolutionary War The rec
ords show that he was wounded seven
times, that he was captured by the
British in Charleston and that after
the war he settled In Shelby County,
Kentucky, and that he was a member
of the Lewis and Clark expedition that
went up the Missouri River to the
mouth of the Yellowston. He married
Sallie Dodson, a great-granddaughter
OF Daniel Boone, and settled in ST.
Charles County, Missouri.
In 1850 Anthony B. Watts, is son,
came to Indian Creek and bought the
water mill. He brought his family
with him. Stubbins was one of the
children.
To look at the old man, STOPPING at
his bins and gathering a deposit of
white -four as a bee gathers pollen
from the flowers into which 1t dips,
one would not imagine he had been a
fighting man, but, as he says:
'The gurgle of the water through so
many years sort of lulls you to sleep"
There is no modern machinery in
this mill except the turbine wheel.
Years ago the old wooden wheel was
taken out and the turbine put in. All
else Is as it was eighty-two years ago,
even to the wooden pegs in the floor
ing, the wooden hinges on the doors
and the wooden cogs in the wheels.

CHUTNEY AT ITS BEST
MANY INGREDIENTS GO TO FORM
DELICIOUS DISH.
Mixture Really Is Largely a Matter
Of Individual Taste, Though Some
Staple Fruits VIII Have to Be
included.

Delicious Sweet Chutney - Twelve
apples. three bananas, three pears
(Blightly green), three ounces, twelve
tomatoes (more green than ripe), eight
small onions, four seeded raisins, one
and a half pints vinegar, half pint
water, two cups brown sugar; spice
a teaspoon of each, allspice, Cloves
ginger, cinnamon, mace or vary the
spices to suit the taste. Peel all the
fruit and the tomatoes and put all
except the bananas through the meat
chopper; slice the bananas; add the
vinegar, water, sugar and spice. Boil
slowly for three or four hors until
all are blended, then bottle. 1t Is
well to use an asbestos plate under the
kettle, as it burns easily. Other
fruits, such as peaches and grapes
may also be added Firm peaches
such as "clings," are best, and grapes
would have to be seeded.
English Recipe for Marmalade-Se-
lect, If possible, seedless fruit. Two
dozen oranges medium size),
dozen lemons and four grapefruit. Dis
card the peel from half of the oranges;
cut into thin slices the peeled and
the -unpeeled oranges, also the grape
fruit and four of the lemons, peel
and all. Measure the fruit, and to
each pint of fruit add a generous pint
and a half Of water. Set aside for
"a hours; then cook in the same water
for about an hour, counting from the
time it begins to boil. Set aside for an
other "a hours; then boil slowly un-
til clear. Measure, and to each quart
add two and a quarter pounds OF
sugar. Bring to boil and COOK rap
idly for about 20 minutes, stirring and
skimming. Test few drops on cold
saucer every few minutes; when 1t
shows a tendency to jelly add the
Juice of tn. eight remaining lemons;
bring to a boil and bottle. This will
make firm, clear marmalade.
Candied Orange Peel-For a few
days save the peel from the oranges
eaten by the family. Cut in narrow
strips enough to about half fill two
quart pitcher. Fill the pitcher with
cold water to which has been added
a teaspoon of salt Every morning
for a week drain of the water and
fill with fresh water; after the first
two mornings omit the salt. At the
end of the week boil three cups of
cane sugar with one cup Of water un-
til it strings from the spoon, then add
the orange peel, already drained, and
stir until it begins to sugar; turn i'm
mediately onto a large fat dish and
leave to cool. 1t can be kept almost
indefinitely in glass jars.

A personal confidence nearly always
presupposes weakness. 1t is usually
an appeal from ones own mind to the
mind Of another, either for support,
for commentator or for sympathy.
The maker, consciously or not, desires
one of three things: to be confirmed in
his own opinion, to receive the praise
which he considers his due, or to
make sure that some other realizes
what he is called upon to sufier. He
is not self-suficient. He mSst verify
his estimate Of himself before he can
rest on 1t.

A young fowl will require about one

older ones double the time. Dress and

full of butter in the pan; when hot,

until lightly Drowned; add a sliced
carrot, small onion, bits of celery, a
cup of tomato juice or stock; cover

VARIOUS SAUCES FOR FISH
Different Mixtures Are Required for
the Different Species That May
Be Served.

A hostess home from Spain brought
with her a fish sauce which is popular
with the Spaniards. Its foundation Is
a thick French dressing made Of one
tablespoon of vinegar to eight of oil.
1t is seasoned with half teaspoonful
of salt, a half teaspoonful of mustard
and paprika enough to color
Into this dressing is mixed the finely
chopped whites and yolks-each sep
arately-of three hard-boiled eggs, a
dozen chopped olives and half a doz-
en- chopped sweet red peppers.
Mayonnaise served in a small silver
or china sauce boat Is often passed
with fried smelts, halibut, scallops and
eels. This may have half dozen sweet
pickles chopped in 1t or tablespoon
full Of capers.
Some hostesses serve extra drawn
butter in a separate sauce boat, with
broiled mackorel or bluefish. This
should be highly seasoned with pepper
and may be colored with paprika. or
should be nicely Drowned.
A nice sauce for shell fish is made
by using the broth that comes from
steaming, or little of the clam broth
that is Jared. Fry six small onions
in butter, but do not color a deep
brown, thicken with tablespoonful Of
flour; then reduce to a creamy gray,
with the broth. Season we'll with cay
enne and a little salt. Just before
serving stir in the yolk Of an egg, a
sherry glass of white wine. the same
amount of cream and some chopped
chives or capers.
