Use three-fourths of a pound of coffee to each gallon of water. This makes a very strong cof fee. Make a bag of ordinary cheese cloth to extend half way down in urn; sides double and bottom single thick ness. The water then finds its way through the grounds and bottom of bag, for if made single on sides it is easier for the water to run through without touching the coffee at all than it is to run through the coffee and bottom of hag besides, and much strength is lost thereby. Dampen the coffee grounds in an t gate ware can with just enough boil ing water to thoroughly swell them, then place them in the bag in urn and use only fresh boiling, bubbling water on them; re-pour the coffee through the grounds five times, remove the bag and it is ready to serve. Serve with cream, with a little whipped cream on top of same. FILLING FOR SANDWICHES. Worth Remembering for Picnics and Tea Parties. One-half pound of Roquefort cheese, one-fourth as much butter and half a teaspoonful of paprika; mix to a paste with sherry wine. Spread on wafers or toasted rye bread. Prunes, chopped with half the quan tity of English walnut meats, sea soned with lemon juice and powdered sugar. Equal parts of chicken and -ham, finely minced and seasoned with curry powder. Minced hard-boiled egg, one sar dine to every three, seasoned with lemon juice. Equal parts of cold roast beef, cold roast turkey, boiled ham and tongue, seasoned with chopped pickles; mix with mayonnaise dressing. Cold cooked veal, chopped fine; hard-boiled eggs; season with tomato catsup. Leftover Meats in Bread Cases. Keep the leftover meats from each meal, such as bacon, ham, roasts or stews. Mince the bacon or ham, cut the other meats into small cubes. Sea son well. Cook with a little gravy or water until tender. Make a cream dressing for this of one tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful flour, rubbed well together, and one cup of boiling milk. Bread Cases. Take slices of bread about two inches thicks, cut perfectly square. Shell out the crumbs, leaving about one-half inch, or enough to form a bottom thick enough to hold the mix ture. Place under a quick fire until j a light brown. Pill with the meat. I Decorate with hard-boiled egg and parsley. Serve immediately. Bread Pudding. Take the bread which you have taken from the cases and to one cup crumbs allow three of milk, three eggs, well beaten, retaining two of I the whites for meringue, three spoon fuls sugar and one of butter. Bake in a moderate oven. When pudding is set, put the whites, well beaten with a spoonful of powdered sugar, on it. Return to oven until a rich brown.

He is a wonder ful reader. His audience was delight ed. He gave several humorous selec tions and the court scene from “The Merchant of Venice.” Mr. R. McKin ley Ward contributed two pleasing musical numbers to the program. The following testimonial was giv en to a servant girl: “This is to certi fy that the bearer has been in my service one year less eleven months. During this time I found her to be diligent at the back door, temperate at her work, prompt at excuses, ami able toward young gentlemen, faithful to her sweethearts, and honest when everything was safe under lock and key.—Sphere. Passing a swimming pool in a small city one day two country women read this sign at the entrance: “Twenty live thousand Gals. In and Out Every Hour.” “That’s all nonsense," said one of the women. “There ain’t that many women in this whole country.” In the Garden of Hope grow the laurels for future victories, the roses of coming joy, and the lilies of ap proaching peace.
