CHOICE RECIPES.
Honey Ginger Snaps. Ono cup of
brown sugar, ono cup of extracted bonoy,
a tnblespoonful of ground ginger, a cup
of melted butter or meat tryings, n tea
spoonful of snleratus dissolved in a
littlo hot water, nud as much wheat
Hour as can bo possibly stirred in, (but
not knoadeil). Pinch oil' pieces about
tho sizo of a marble, and roll between
tho hands. Lcavo spaces between thorn
in tbo pan to allow for spreading, llnko
in a modornto oven till of a nico brown,
and leave in pan till they aro "snappy."
In cold woatlier tho materials should bo
warmed beforo stirring in tho Hour.
They aro porhaps a littlo tougher than
if mado of molasses, but good "all tho
same." Thoy will " keop," if you koop
them off tho tablo and out of roach of
tho children.
Light Dumplings. Two cups of Hour
and while stirring it pour over it just
onough boiling wator to wot it all
thoroughly. Lot it stand a littlo while,
and when cool enough, salt it to tasto,
and break into it six eggs. Then stir
and beat tho wlwlo mass until it is as
smooth as cako dough. Put it immedi
atoly into tho boiling soup j by using a
small spoon to dip with, kopt wot with
tho soup, to provont sticking, tho dump
lings will bo small and smooth. Keep
tho kottlo closely covered whilo thoy aro
cooking, which will bo for fivo or ton
minutes, then sorvc. Treated in this
way thoy aro light whon cold.
Shot for Cloaning. Ono of tho best
' things to clean bottles and small necked
pitchers it to tako fiuo shot and put in
tho bottlo orpitchortogothorwith warm
water or suds and shako thoroughly. It
is valuable, elllciont and cheap. Keep
shot handy.
Buttermilk Biscuit. Ono quart Hour,
ono teaspoonful soda sifted thrco times
with tho Hour and a teaspoonful melted
button Sift Hour, soda and salt into a
bowl, stir buttor and milk together and
pour into a holo in tho Hour. Mix
quickly and with as littlo handling as
possible Bo careful on this point, also,
not to (ret tho dough too stiff. Have
your oven ready and hot. As soon as
tho biscuits aro cut out put thorn in and
bake. Thoy aro excellent if mixed as
tho successful painter did his colors
"with brains." A hoavy hand and heavy
wits can result in nothing but soddon
solidity.
Stains on Brass Tho strongest con
centrated ammonia will remove stains
from old brass when all olso fails. Tho
ammonia vapor changes tho brass dur
ing tho process of cleaning to n bronzo
color, but tho immediate application of
tho liquid removes this at once.
Graham Tuffs. Sift together ono and
a half pints of Graham Hour, one tea
spoonful of salt and thrco tcaspoonfuls
of baking powder. Mix with this one
pint of milk and two well beaten eggs
until a smooth batter is obtained. Fill
cold, well greased gem pans with tho
batter, and bako in u hot oven for ton
minutes.
Lomon Jelly Cako. Ono cup of sugar
mixed with butter tho bio of an gg,
ono cup of milk, ono egg well beaten
and Hour onough to mako rather stiff,
sifted with a heaping teaspoonful of bak
ing powder and bako in three jelly cako
tins. For tho jelly tako tho juico and
grated rind of ono lemon, one small cup
sugar, three tcaspoonfuls of corn starch,
mixed smoothly with a littlo water and
one cup of hot water. Lot all boll to
gether until thick and spread on the
cakes. This quantity makes two layers.
Ventilated Milk Covers. Sew thin
cloth over wire rings a littlo larger than
the milk pan ; any housekeeper can get
tho wire from tho tops of worn out
pans, pails etc. Try it, they aro better
than board covers or anything ehe.
Italian Cream. Rub tho zest of two
lemous upon thrco or four lumps of
loaf sugar ; stir theso into a pint of rich
cream and add enough sugar to sweeten.
Whip tho cream with tho juico of ono
lemon, straining in ono ounco of gcla
tino that has been dissolved in a little
water. When thoroughly light flavor
to taste, and pour into a mould and
freeze. When served garnish with pro
served fruit.
To Mond Cracks in Stoves. To ono
cup of salt add two cups of sifted ashes,
Mako a stiff pasto by adding water ; ap
ply whilo tho stove is a littlo warm.
Peoplo without Tact.
Thoro is a good-natured unpopular
typo of person whom wo havo all mot,
who invariably "roilos" ono up by say
ing, "Excuso me, but thcro is a black
spot on your faco," or "your coat
wrinkles in tho back," or "your dress-
seams aro cut crooked," and you go on
your way withanuncomfortablo feeling
that you aro all wrong, when roally it is
tho tactless person who met you who is
alono responsible. You would novor
havo known of your deficiencies but for
him or her.
"But," says tho tactless individual,
"would you desiro to go about with a
smudgo on your fare, or your dress lap-
sided, or your coat awry, whon a hint
from mo would set it right?"
Yes, peoplo who havo thoir faults and
blemishes pointod out, aro novor in tho
least grateful to tho investigating com
mittco of ono sclf-appointod to tell
them.
And you, sir or madam, do you desiro
to bo a valet or maid to your frionds at
largo, making thorn over as you would
tho lay figuro in a dressmaker's saloon
and calling attontion ton singlo blemish,
where- thcro wcro a dozen things to
praise?
And tlioso tactless people must somo
times wonder why their frionds shun
thorn by keeping resolutely out of their
way, rathor than bo picked to pieces
with tho kindnoss that kills.
Sometimes their remarks aro of an in
tonsoly personal naturo, and thoy da
light in calling attention to peculiarities
to which tho friond with tact would bo
doaf and blind.
"I saw you tho othor day, and you
wcro talking to yoursolf at a groat rato,"
says ono of tho tactless sort.
An old gontloman who was troubled
with a facial norvousness was thus ac
costcd by a thoughtless girl whon ho
visited hor homo :
"Tio dolorcaux,
What's tho matter with you?"
Tho reproof ho gavo hor was not soon
forgotten.
But thcro is a lower depth to which
tho social scavongor descends, and it is
this:
"I want to toll you something, but
you must novor speak of it. Mr. Blank
said ho disliked you oxecodingly when
ho Hrst mot you, but ho likes you very
much indeed, now," otc.
Oh, doos he, indoedt Now Mr. Blank
has a perfect right to like or dislike tho
person in question, but tho contomptiblo
part is to bo told of it, and probably ho
would nover havo mado tho statement
had ho supposed it would havo been re
peated.
There is n homoly old proverb which
applies to tho peoplo who think it thoir
dutv to toll ono what another said. It
is to tho effect that a dog that will fetch a
bono will carry a bono.
Thcro is anothor class, tho members
of which greet their friends with, "How
palo you aro!" or "how thin you havo
grown!" "should hardly know you, you
aro so changed I" and similar remarks of
a death's head and cross-bones nature,
which gives ono a tremor of tho nerves
aud a fit of speculative blues.
From all bucIi tactless, thick-kinned
frionds (7) tho fates dofend us! I would
rather wear a smudgo on my faco six
inches long and not bo conscious of it
than encounter ono of tho guild with
tho self-satisfied smiio and tho eternal
"Excuso me, but there is a black spot,"
etc. If thoy aro sincere, then I do not
admire sincore people. They mako mo
uncomfortable. Mrs. 31.

Moro Wool ana Less Offal.
Tho courso so long followed by most
of tho Merino Bhccp breeders has had its
certain rosults upon tho wool market.
Manufacturers havo boconio sick and
tired of purchasing grcaso and dirt,
During tho past season such wools as
wcro taken from vory fashionable strains
of so many years and which consisted
of an iminenso amount of yolk and
grcaso held together by a modost quan
tity of wool, havo boon neglected at
from two to fivo cents por pound less
than those not near so line, but moro
open and having a much smaller pro
portion of waste. It is not that tho lino
wool is not wanted, but that tho u.-or
wants wool more than olTal. Wo aro
ovidontly on tho evo of hotter times for
tho sheep growor, and is not this a cap
ital timo forMcrino breeders to consider
tho matter and make u radical changoT
Why not breed for a few lo-s wrinkles,
loss groaso and moro wool? I am glad
that a few breeders aro looking in this
direction, and that such wools aro being
sought for at tho highost prico. I hopo
tho juiges at all tho fairs will dincriiuin
ato largoly in favor of long, clean f taplo
in weighing Merino. Tho Merino is a
noblo sheep, tho prido of tho Amoiican
breeder, but thoro is no reason why ho
cannot bo greatly improved if bred with
this end carefully in viow. Corn of tho

DISTANCE.
On softening days when tho storm was near,
At tho farmhottso door I have stood In tho
firay,
And caught in tho distance, faint but clear,
Tho sound of a train, pasting far away.
Tho warning boll whin tho start was mado,
Tho cngino's piillint of smoke unseen,
With the heavy rumblo as tho hcclsobcycd,
Across tho miles between.
And so sometime, on n moonlcsi night,
When tho stirs shine tott ami tho wind is
low,
To my listening soul, In tho pallid light,
Como tho trembling voices of long ago;
Tho tunoful ochoos whon hopo was young,
Tho tender song of lovo sorono,
And tho throbbing rhythm of passion's tongue,
Across tho years botwecn.

Women and Literature
Women havo gono largely into jour
nalism, aud with much hiicceos; but it
must bo rememliered that journalism is
not literature, though it belongs to the
8.imo genius, and maybe quite as im
portant. Journalism is tolltoraturo(to
use a cullinary comparison) as are
broakfjst griddle cakes to a loaf of
bread. Tho former aro to bo oaten hot,
or not at all) whilo tho bread only im
proves by a day or two's keeping. Tho
samo cook may happen to excel in both,
but it is a combination of two diilerent
gifts, and cannot safely be counted on.
Tho department in which ono may noxt
hopo for an advance among tho gradu
ates of our women's colleges is in what
may Le called tho art of intellectual
bread makingthe production of per
manent literature. -Harper'H Ba.ar.
