3+++§++++++++++++++++f WHHMH ++++++tt Pork Chops with Cream Gravy.â€"â€"Put the chops, salted, into an iron frying pan hot, but not greased. Let fry unlil they are touched with plenty of rich brown on both sides. but don't allow the lean part to harden or crisp. You will need to loosen and turn them ire- «neatly. and. if they are fat. pour oil PM of the grease. After they are lax-owned without a particle of scorch- mg~â€"which would be fatal to the gravyâ€" pom‘ in a half-cup ol' waler. cover lightiv. and turn down the gas until the water is cooked out. Remove chopS‘ add a table-spoonful of butter. and ii there are six or eight of them pour in nearly a pint of rich milk. Put back the chops. cook a minute in the gravy, and serve. This makes the gravy richer and gives it more of the flavor which is =0 decidedly like chicken. but if preferred, the chops may be kept dry and the gravy served in a boat. Creole Riceâ€"Wash and pick some rice carefully. say, in third of a cofLee cup, and put it in two and one-half pints of rich milk; add a. trace of salt and the smallest amount. of sugar. so as to sweeten slightly. Put in an oven, not. too brisk. for ten minutes. then open the oven and stir well. Repeat this in fifteen minutes. Close the oven for any iime from forty minutes to an hour and more. and the spoon will de- terminedif it is done. It. should be soft. but not run. A brown skin should have formed at the top. It. may first. be seasoned with ground nutmeg or stick cinnamon. It. is then ready, hot or cold, and without sauce. for the table. There are two ways of using u part of this pudding. One is: ‘ Rice Sandwichâ€"The Creole rice may be shaped to a circle. in which make u Banana. Pudding. â€"- Dissolve two ounces of sugar in a quarter of a pint of water. in which has been added a squeeze of lemon. Let this boil for a few minutes. then put in four sliced bananas. When thls has simmered for ten minutes mash the bananas smooth- ly with a fork or rub them through a sieve. Beat the yolks of ihrco eggs, and add one ounce of Lulter. Add to lhi° the banana- pulp and one leaspoonful of cake crumbs. Mix all well togelher and put into a pie dish lined with rich pie paste. and bake in a quick oven for about 20 minutes. Pork Chicken Piaâ€"T0 save time as well as lhe heat of the gas. prepare :1 double quantity of this meal. with u superabundance of the gravy when cooking it. Scrape part of it hot [mm the frying pan into your baking dish, set it away over .the next day, fit it With a top crust of biscuit dough, and bake as you would chicken pie. Creamed Chickenâ€"There are one or two new brands of canned chicken on the market in which the chicken is nice- ly sliced, so that it culs up nicely into cubes. This makes a good and easy creamed chicken [or an impromptu Sunday night supper. and at 30 or («0 cents a can is cheaper than buying 0! whole chicken when they are expensive. Chicken Omeletâ€"Make a plain ome- let. but just before folding spread crehmcd chicken. well seasoned. over the lop. Fold and serve. Creamed fish. asparagus. and cauliflower can be used in this way. The Better Way Spanish Omelet.â€"Chop fine one green pepper from which the seeds and stems have been removed. two medium sized (omaloes. one small onion, :1 sprig oi parsley. three .lhin slices of fried bacon, and five mushrooms; add a tablespoon- ful of butter, season with salt. and sim- mer for Fifteen minutes. [lave a plain omelet made, spread this hot dressing over the .top. and fold. then pour the remainder around the omelet, before serving. The tissues of the throat are inflamed and irritated; you cough, and there is more irrita- tionâ€"mqre coughing. You take a. cough mixture and it eases the irritationâ€"for a while. You take SCOTT’S EMULSION and it cure: the cold. That's what is necessary. It soothes the throat because it reduces the irritation; cures the cold because it drives out the inflammation; builds up the weakened tissues because it nourishes them back to their natural strength.

Cut the cold rice into thin slices and lay apart. Have some best cooking raisins scalded, seeded, and wiped. and cut in two a little crystallized fruit, but it is not necessary, only if at hand. Pack the sliced rice in layers with the raisix‘s in a mold to take the quantity. but not tightly. Flavor a cup of thick cream strongly ot' catawba, even half and half, being careful not to curdle and being discreet as to the cream and wine, so that there may not. be any wasted by providing too much for the spaces in the rice and raisins. Pour this in until soak to the bottom of the mold and fill to brim. Cover and freeze. It should be as hard as firm icod cream and form Snarkling crystals throughout.

To Freshen Funâ€"A fur that. is con- stantly worn often gets very shabby- looking round the back. This can largely be prevented by shaking it in front of a fire for a. few seconds every time after wearing. To clean. moisten sawdust or bran with benzoline. and rub this well into the fur. Shake out and repeat till it» looks clean and fresh. Remember that benzoline must. not be used near a fire or lighL Save washing and clusters by using old newspapers for cleaning. They are excellent for window polishers, firstâ€" rule for scouring tinâ€"ware. and are as good as a brush for polishing a stove. The prudent woman will always keep a good pad of newspaper at hand and use it for wiping up grease or water spilt, on the gas or coal cooking-stove, for it will enable her to keep the stove clean with half the usual trouble. To Stiffen Lecewâ€"Use rice siurch made by throwing one ounce of rice in- to one pint of boiling water and set it simmer for five minutes. Strain, and when still warm dip in the lace. See that the fabric is thoroughly saturated. Squeeze between the hands, and spread on a flannelâ€"covered board to dry. Pick out carefully when nearly dry. but do not use an iron if you can avoid It. SOOI'I. The best way to clean white paint is to take a soft flannel cloth. dip in warm water, wring out. and then dip in a saucer of clean bran. The friction of .the bran will remove any stain with- out injuring the paint. Soda or strong soap should never be used on enamel naint, as it destroys the gloss so attrac- tive in the white finish. Here is 3 Substitute for a Sponge.â€" Make a bag twelve inches long by eight wide of cheese cloth. Put, in a large handful of wheat bran, a little pinch of “owdered soup. and one ounce of wellâ€" bruised orris-root. Use this bag exactly as you would a sponge, and place it in the air to dry each day. The bag should be refilled about once a week with fresh bran and soap powder; the orris-root will last longer. Eggs in Cakesâ€"For making cakes, whatever eggs are to be used should be added after all the ingredients are well mixed. By observing this rule two eggs will be found to go as far in enriching the cake and making it, light as three would if added at an earlier stage of the preparation. Making dish-cloths is excellent fireside work for the time between the lights on winter afternoons. Very strong ones are made of ordinary bits of“ string knitted on course needles. Those hav- ing a rough surface are capital for for cleaning. Coarse unbleached knitâ€" ting cotton is pleasanter to work in. and also makes excellent dishâ€"cloths. When in use it is necessary that these dish- .cloths should he wasth through daily and hung in the air. and that once a week they should be boiled in soda water to keep them sweet. The appointment of an up-t clothes closet or wardrobe are a way ahead of those in the time one hung her garments on nai possibly wooden pegs driven int wall.

The intensity cf the shock is dependent on the velocity or jerk, which may be from several hun- m'ed feet to three miles per second. The duration of earthquakes averages about two minutes. The frequency varies in different years and different seasons in an earthquake district. Between 1885 and 1890 at Tokio there was annually an average of sixty shocks. At the time of the disaster of ’1891 there were 1,132 shocks in ten days. During the succeed- ing two years there were 3,364 shocks. There are more shocks in winter than in summer and more in the night t an in the daytime. The structure of the rocks strongly affects the transmission of a shock; sometimes an earthquake on the surface is not felt in a mine. in 1868 in Peru there was an earthquake which affected a district 2.000 miles long. The depth of the earthquake eentrum varies from four to thirty geographical miles. The principal earthquake centres of the worldilie in 'the ocean at the base of steep su'bmarine deelivities.

A var-j i Nature Needs Assistance in Making New Health-China Blood. Spring is the season when your system needs toning up. In the spring you must have new blood, just as the ll‘C-BS must have new sap. Nature demands it. Without new blood you will feel weak and languid; you may have twinges of rheumatism or neuralgia, oc- casional headaches, a variable appetite, pimples or eruptions of the skin, or a. pale, pasty complexion. These are sure signs that the blood is out of order. A tonic is needed to give new energy. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the best tonic in 1111 the world. They make new, rich, blood â€"â€" your greatest need in spring. They clear the skin, drive out disease and make tired, depressed men and (vo- men bright, active and strong. Mrs. Chas. Musson, Yamuchiche, Que. proves the great value of Dr. Williams’ PinkPills in building up people who have be- come weakened and run down. She se.ys:â€"â€"-“ln the winter of 1905 I was very much run down and lost flesh rapidly. My blood was poor. I suffered iron indigestion, severe headaches and ge - ernl debility. In this condition I decidi eml debility. In this condition I decidl ed to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills :1 trial, and thanks to this valuable medi- cine I am again enjoying perfect health."

It is a peculiarity in Paris, which every Visitor who knows enough French to tell one dialect from another must have noticed. that nearly all Paris cabmen come from the same part of the coun- try. 8&st the London Standard. The same thing is true of coal merchants and of dealers in roasted chestnuts. who come from Auvergne; of the goatherds, who hawk thelr milk about the streets, who are Breton peasants, and of many other trades.

It is down in the Aveyron, and Rodez is its capital, a tiny village, where the worst language and the best hearts in all France are to he found. The eldest of each family in iiodez takes the land and the paternal cottage. The old folks live with him un- til their death. and the younger sons go to Paris and drive cabs. For years they drive about in all wea< thers; scraping together sou by sou un- tii they have garnered enough to go home and pay for their board and lodg- ing for the remainder of their days. They go with the elder brother to a. notary on the first day of their return home and sign a deed by which he is bound to keep them for the remainder of their days in idleness in return for their sav- ings. ‘ There is an old priest in Rodez who :3“ thoroughly understands his flock. llel a never asks them to enter the church. but! chats with them outside it. and preachesI SP informal sermons as he thinks fit.

San-ko-lin-sin, against. either Nflnkin or Foochow, Gordon re- ceived a message from the rebel lead- ers, offering submission if their lives were guaranteed. Having obtained the consent of the Chinese commander. he agreed. The town surrendered. and the three rebel chiefs appeared before San- ko-linsin. He seeing that they had not shaved their heads in sign of submission had them decapitated“ 0n the spot. \Vhercupon exasperated beyond contro] by such treachery. Gordon armed him~ self with a revolver. and was hastening t0 the general's tent with the intention 0' clmstising him in the most summary manner for his breach of faith, when suddenly he paused, and coming. on reflection, to the conclusion that his contemplated act was simple murder. he threw away his weapon and registered a vow that. so long as he remained in China, he would never again carry any weapon more formidable than a cane." Baby's Own Tablets are equallygood for little babies or big children. If a. child is suffering from any of the minor ills of childhood a tow doses of the Tab. leis will cure il. And an occasional dose to the well child will prevent sick- ness. Mrs. A.
