ENGLISH STUFFINGS t
Recipes Whiek the Sender Says Are Ex
cellent aad Net Found In Books.
Here is a recipe for turkey and chick
en stuffing which the sender says is very
different in its results from those given
in the cookbooks:
Crumble or grate the inside of a stale
loaf or more of baker's bread, either a
round loaf or milk bread. Add pepper
and salt, the grated rind of a lemon and
to a loaf half tho juice; to 2 loaves, all
of it; a little grated nutmeg, a. handful,
each of finely cut parsley leave ahfl fine
white celery leaves, thyme, sweet mar
joram and summer savory, using the
leaves in preference to the ground, and
twice the quantity of thyme as of the
marjoram or savory. Mix all together
dry and fill, the crops, putting all the
remaindef intothe bodies of the fowl.
As the filling is being done add small
pieces of good butter, which, together
with the proper basting, will giye the
dressing sufficient moisture.
This dressing is also excellent for
roast leg of'pork when you do not want
to simulate duck or goose with it.
"The recipe for the good old English
stuffing for ducks or geese," the sender
adds, "I never see in our cookbooks and
do not find, it used upon :my neighbors'
tables. People spoil 4 these birds with
soft bread and muss."
This ls'the old recipe for stuffing for
geese, dacks-or a leg of pork :
Take equal parts of parboiled potatoes
cut into inch square, cubes and onions
cut up. Strain dry, add peppei: and salt
and sage leaves crushed up. Prepare
enough of the mixture, to fill tho pork
or birds with it and to lay some of it
under them in the roasting pan.' .Keep
this extra filling under the birds. Dish
it- separately and serve it at the table
with the rcic New York Sun.
The Eveaias Fas.
It isu't the thing to wear an evening
fan on iigold chain any more. It should
bo worn on a string of imitation pearls,
if you cannot alford the real thing, and
few can, since the correct length for the
string is seven feet. If a wealthy woman
wears one of these ornaments, it is im
possible to tell thatth'c" jewels ere bogus
or at least that's what the shopkeepers
say. Tho mock pearls are certainly per
fect enough and pretty enough to make
tho worst wounded oyster in tho waters
ashamed of the pearl with which he
mends his shell. It is also the style to
wear these strings wound round and
round the neck, dog -collar fashion, ei
ther with high neck gowns or full dress
waists. The prices vary from $3.00 a
string to $25. New York Letter.

New discoveries about tho JLubie are
being made almost daily. The religion:

aronse.a questioning frame of mind.
We ask, how. did .we get the Bible,
whence did it come, what was the
method of Jts transmission to us?
Learned volumes have been-written," but
cnlv scholars" read them. One of the
latest Iof these is by- r. William A.
Ooppfnger, but it is-so ;expensive a vbl-
ume-ouiv 150 copiesjiave been, printed
for sale that few can read it, even if
they would. Tho much talked of poly
chrome Bible, edited. by leading Biblical
v m t I
scnoiarsoitne worm, is an answer to
this demand. .Sill, the question, how
did theBible cohie down to us? ought
to be answered briefly, so that the mass
es of the people can read and undtjr
stand. It is irreverent to the Bible and
;the, insnifed .;meu who gave, us- this
world classic the classic dealing with
the eternal' theme of the relation be
tween man and God to thine or it as a
readyjnado.volnme, dropped down from
heaven bound and gilt edged.
The Bible was born in the little land
of Canaan as the weary caravan, led by
Abraham from Ur of the Ohaldees,
pitched its tents and the patriarch wrote
down' the promises of the Eternal oh
tho palm leaves which he found at hand.
This was more than 4,000 years, ago,
and that writing was in use so early is
proved by inscriptions found on Egyp
tian steles or Assyrian tablets from
6,000 to ,8, 000 years old.
The records -kept by Abraham, and
his immediate descendants undoubtedly
formed the basis of the book of. Genesis
and the earlier chapters of Exodus, to
rbe later utilized by the hand of Jtfose3
and his successors. With the advent of
this great legislator of tho Hebrews the
nation was formed, with his legislation
as its heart" and Genter. It is probable
that Moses wrote his portion of tho Bi
ble upon the linen used for such pur
poses in Egypt, for many large pieces
of this linen covered with hieroglyphic
writing have come down to us wrapped
around mummies. The inscriptions are
still legible. The Pentateuch was the
nucleus of our Bible, the only Bible
known to the Hebrews for many gener
ations. It was written in the ancient
Ibri character, closely resembling the
Phoenician, as proved by the .Siloam in
scription discovered near Jerusalem and
some ancient coins-which lTave been
found. Leaders like Joshua, Gideon and
Samuel were needed in the promised
land: Singers and prophets, too, arose,
and tho scribes of the leaders tecorded
what was done. The poets wrote down
their best songs. The "prophets' words
were treasured up by their disciples and
followers. The official records were kept
in the national archives, and the songs
of he poets and the speeches of the
prophets wero passed from hand to
hand. When the kingdom was divided,
records were certainly kept both in the
southern kingdom of Judah and the
northern kingdom of Israel. But much
of the earlier literature was forgotten
in trie catastrophe of the destruction of
the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and
tho exiles refused to sing the songs of
Ziou as they "sat by tho waters of Ba
bel and wept." When at last the term
of oxilewas over and some of the more
devoted Jews returned to rebuild the
walls and temple of. Jerusalem, the law-
had to be brought back to them,
Ezra was the man for this work, and
he and his coadjutors, tho elders, col
lected the scattered records of earlier
dayi and made tho first .canon of the
Pentateuch. They wrote it in a new
script Kethay Ashuris, tho Assyrian
or square character brought back from
Babylon with them and read and
taught it to the people. By this time
some of the speeches delivered by the
prophets of the exile, the jsecond Isaiah
and his disciples, had become so dear to
the hearts ef the people that they wero
esteemed as classics. Some had, preserv
ed the addresses of the earlier prophets,
and gradually a second set of accepted
writings was added to the law. The
older songs, too, were found again, and
new-singers were inspired for the serv
ice of the new temple, and the book of
Psaims became its hymn book.
The proverbs of the nation wero col
lected by various hands. Other books
were found or written as" late as the sec
ond century before the. Christian era.
The book of Daniel, for instance, was
composed to inspire a people, fainting
under Syrian oppression, for the Macca
bean revolution! And all this later lit-
crature was struggling for acceptance
into the Bible until the canon of the
Old Testament as we now have it was
established in the first century of our
era by the rabbinical school of Palestine.
As 'the nation -Israel sunk under the
waves of Boman conquest the Jewish
spirit held the Old Testament aloft as
its gift Jto the world. Clifton Hardy

ions expedient to get to the coast on his

the way. Ho could not follow the beaten
road by way of "Victoria Nyauza, for
the Waganda and other tribes had been
killing-whites and if they did not mur
der Junker they would at least detain
him as a prisoner. Arab traders wonld
hot take him in their 'caravans for fear
they would lose the friendship of the
native chiefs along the' road. At last the
doctor went to ouo pfthe traders with
this proposal :
xou canncc taKo me wiui you as a
friend," he said, Mbut you' can tako.me
as a slave." Look at this. " And Dr.
Junker showed .the trader an order writ
ten in Arabic anil signed by a well
known firm in Zanzibar, authorizing
the doctor to make any arrangements he
desired with the Arabs of central Africa,
and the firm would honor his drafts.
"Now," continued. Dr. Junker, "1
have written out a contract, and if you
will sign it-with me, I shall reach the
coast. It provides that when you deliver
me alive at ZanziLar the sum of $1,-
500 (Austrian . thalers) will be paid to
you by this firm You cannot take me
with you as a traveler or a friend, and
you must therefore take me as a slave. "
The bargain was made on this basis.

The sympathetic tenderness of a lov
ing husband is everything to, an expec
tant mother, especially during, her first
ordeal. George Lay ton, Esq., a, promi
nent druggist of Dayton, O., gives the
following case :
A customer of mine, whose vnie has used
four bottles of 'Mother's Friend" before, con
finement, says, after seeing the effects of the
remedy, that'if she had to go through the ordeal
againand there were but four bottles on the
market, and the cost was $100 per bottle, she
would have them.
" Mother's Friend " is a scientifically
compounded liniment which affords cer
tain relief in the various ailments pre
ceding childbirth, and assures projer
elasticity jto the cords and muscles in
volved in the final ordeal.
"Mother's .Friend" is sold "by drug
gists, or expressed on receipt of one
dollar.
