Concerning Salt

From the Chicago Journal.
 Don't pity the country boy too much. There are times when his disadvantages" help him. If an almost learned doctor in this city had been laid up in farmhouse With pneumonia when lad of 10 and had read the travels of Winwood Reade and Livingstone while convalescing, he would not have grown so wildly excited over the amount of salt used in modern cookery.
 Come and eat with us," said the hos- pitable Sudanese whom Reade encoun- tered; I've are going to have salt for din- ner today" It was the greatest of luxu- ries, yet they must have secured it in pretty large quantities. The Manyema cannibals among whom Livingstone so- journed for a season told him that human flesh lis salty, and makes Us dream of the dead:" yet not one of these mild man pered epicures had ever tasted a white man. They banqueted entirely on their brothers in black.
 Finally the country boy might tell the near-savant that the yarn of Fijians re- fusing to devour salty missionary is on all fours with the western story that coyotes Will not eat Mexican, because he uses so much chilli sauce. Both tales are inter- esting-and there is not the slightest evil dence that either is true. Please pass the salt.

PRAISE FROM
 MINISTER'S WIFE
Tells of Her Long Suffering and How She Found Relief. Husband Joins in Con-
 mending Cardui

Waynesville, N. C.-Mrs. Joseph Fry. wife of the Pastor of Jonathan Circuit, Western North Carolina Conference, M. E. Church South, writes
 About 1899, about fifteen years ago. I had a severe case of Typhoid Fever and a relapse, which left me in a very bad condition, which got worse all the time Was so nervous, could not stay in the room alone for five minutes, and was irregular. My nervousness was an awful worry to me and my friends, and I couldn't sleep for four or five nights at a time. The doctors would often have to give me something to make me sleep. Could do none of my work and had to keep cook.
 I then began taking Cardui and after I had taken half bottle I felt I was improving and not so very long after wards I was able to go to church. . After had taken four or five bottles. I was able to turn off my cook and do my own work, and I got back my correct mental condition, for had been so ner- vous and absent minded, since my ill., ness I was also able to return to school and resume my studies and my piano lessons at Trinity College where I was in attendance"
 Rev. MT. Fry writes: She cannot praise Cardui too highly. It is well worth what it costs. will recommend it to any lady in poor health'
 Can you doubt the merit of Cardui. in the face of such evidence? Give it a trial All good druggists sell Cardui.

"WiH you give me recipe Tor cheese souffle and for scaloped crabs?"
 Cheese souffle: Take cup of bread crumbs, half cup of milk, half tea spoon of salt, a dash of cayenne pepper three eggs, separating the whites and the yolks and beating both well, and fourth of a pound of garted cheese.

Have the crab shells clean and heated, put four balls in each shell, with a sprig of parsley, pour little cream sauce in the shell and serve hot for luncheon or breakfast.

Boiled Fruit Cake

Our next letter shows that other house. wives are moved by Cornerites and free debates to similar enterprises We are happy to present a second novelty in the fruit cake line. The Corner is to be con- graduated upon having composers of cul- mary "originals" among it's members.
 "I am sending a recipe for cake that I think is the finest tasting of any I bake and which is cheap. The recipe calls for neither butter nor eggs There is no name, but it might be called boiled fruit cake: One cup of water, one cup of dark brown sugar, three tablespoons of lard, one cup of raisns one cup of nut meats Cor not), one teaspoon of cinnamon, quar- ter teaspoon of cloves, a little nutmeg, pinch of salt. Let all boil three minutes. When cool add one level teaspoon of soda dissolved in a little warm water. two cups of flour with half teaspoon of baking powder. I make mine in two layers with a white frosting of powdered sugar.

Pork Fruit Cake

I'll. A. J. requested dark fruit cake Here is one every one pronounces deli cious I expermented with 8 pork cake until it was what I desired: One pound of pork ground fine, two cups of hot water poured over the pork, one and one-half cups of sugar three and one-half cups of molasses, two cups of raisins, one cup citron or canned watermelon rind, one pound of dates, one pound of figs, one cup of canned cherries Guice drained ofG three eggs, one and one-half tablespoons each of cloves, allspce, and cinnamon, one tablespon each of ginger and nutmeg, one tablespoon of soda, one teaspoon of black pepper about four and one-haf cups of flour, two tablespoons of whisky. Bake slowly This makes a nice quan- tity and is inexpensive, considering the size. I bake it in two loaves in bread tins. Frost as you need the loaves. We think it too rich when frosted. It will keep indefinitely, but you will need to lock it up! Wrap in waxed paper when it is cold and keep it in the cellar, in crock, colsely covered Grinds,al the fruit ex- |cept the cherries and watermelon rind. Mix ground fruit, spices, sugar, mo- lasses, and flour, and add pork water, and soda to this mixture. l. H.

the public would be interested in her, whether she was Miss or "Mizzes, and, besides, she looked like Miss and never like Mixes
 Having settled that point we went bravely on:
 You see what I want to do,' the pretty lady announced, ''in my new work, is to put on only the very best pictures. l should like to make Shakespear popular; not the tragedies, but some of the come- dies. 'Rosalind' is a part l should like to play. I'm doing Rome and Juliet now; and there are several others I want to do. Besides. it is educational; l think pie lures should be that, as well as enter taining and beautiful. I shall never pro- duce trash; it is my aim and object to elevate the screen-to make pictures that will always be remembered as something worth whle."
 'In regard to the legitimate actress making a good screen actress-what are your views?' I inquired.
 Youth is the main thing on the screen,'' was the reply.
 'It doesn't matter whether you are a real actress or a discovery of the movies, just so you are young. You see, the screen actress can't make up; every line and every defect is shown by the camera it's like woman's mirrow; it never lies; it is brutally frank, as MT. Kipling would say. We only use a black and white makeup for the screen; rouge and the grease pot are relegated to the shades of retirement; so you can see what mean by youth being the most importan; factor to the screen artist.'
 DO I like film life?" the pretty lady repeated after me. T love it! playing tc tens of thousands of people--is wonder ful! On the real stage, playing to only few hundred at each performance, is considered something, but on the screen we reckon big numbers-thousands Of course, we miss the applause-that is the audible applause, but the fact that people have their favorites on the screen and come to see us whenever we produce a new picture, shows tht there is applause although we may not hear it.'

Makes Economical Paste

"The inquiry of May C. as to library paste suggests to me to tell how she can make an excellent paste for her use. l do a great deal of scrapbook pastlng daily and I find this the best and cheap est and most economical of any l have ever tried. The material is called cold water paste. It comes in bulk in the form of a white powder or flour-like sub- stance and may be bought at any small store dealing in wall paper and paper hangers supplies, etc, at 10 cents pound. A half pound will go long way. It may be mixed with either cold or warm (not hoG water. and should De mixed gradually, a spoonful at a time, to a leather-like consistency. One can soon find the right quantity by expert menting with it. l have an old cold cream jar, or one similar to that, holding a half pint or more, with screw or thread cover. Kept this way, the paste does not sour The paper to be pasted should be saturated; wipe the edges off and place old books on scrapbook when drying. J. k.

Removing Paint From Wood

T have some curled maple chairs that have been painted and vanished 1 want to dress them down. Do you know of any application that would remove the paint and varnish? l.. l.. T.
 It will be a tedious task, but you may remove the paint and varnish by scrub ping 1t with spirits of turpentine, or, bet ter still, with benzine, covering the wood with cloths dipped in the same and leav- ing them on until dry. Then rub the wood down to the grain with emery cloth or with pulverized pumice stone applied with soft flannel. If you can employ regular workman in such matters it is all ways better than to risk amateur exper- iments. All the same, the process l have described is effectual if the work be done faithfully. Paint may also be removed by the use of wood alcohol and by scrub ping hard with patent lye.
