For thoso living In tho country or
pmnll towns, where fresh compressed
yeast cako Is not obtainable, tho fol
lowing method of making bread will
C
ibo found most satisfying, in fact it is
sed by ninny city households, who
piefcr It to any othor:
, Cook six medium-sized potatoes In
water to cover; mash and strain the
potato and water In which It wns
cooked over four tablospoonfuls of
flour, four tablospoonfuls of sugar, a
(tablespoonful of salt. Steep a packed
tablespoonful of hops In a cup of
(water; pour this water over the othor
Ingredients, add a quart of water, nnd
when tho mixture Is luko warm add a
yeast cake that has been softened In
p. little water. The yeast Is now ready
for bread.
'. About two hours before tho bread Is
needed, prepare the sponge, uso a cup
or cup and a half of tho yeast mixture,
adding moro Bait and some shorten
ing, with flour enough to knead as soft
as it can bo handled. Knead, ten min
utes, make Into loaves or buns and
when light bake without further knead
'Ing. This bread Is so simple to make, so
good In flavor and ono can prepare It
Ion short notlco, that every housewife
'should kcop some of the yeast on
,liond.
! Graham Bread. Take three cups of
graham flour, two cups of Bour milk,
(two teaspoonfuls of soda, two-thirds
of a cup of dark brown sugar, a pinch
of salt Mix all together and bake ono
hour In a slow oven.
Brown Bread. Threo cups of gra
ham flour, two of white flour and one
of cornmeal, a half cup of sugar, a
Jtoaapoonful of soda, two teaspoonfuls
'of salt, two cups each of warmed
Bweet milk and two of water; add a
compressed yeast cake, beat well, put
in tins at night, cover air tight. Bako
jln tho morning ono hour. This makes
two loaves.
DREAMED tho plowman told
mo: "Grow your broad
And tend your fields alone; I plow no
mora."
iTho "weaver bado mo Bpln tho clothes I
I wore,
ITho masons quit the wall above my head,
(Deserted so by all who warmed and fed
And sheltered mo. my heart was sad and
sore,
jFor seek what path I would. I heard the
1 roar
Of Bullon lions; nnd tho ,sky was lead.
My eyes fell open, and I saw tho sun,
(I heard a hundred hammers beat as
one;
The plowboy whistle and tho builder
call: i
And then I knew my happiness and then
I felt my endless debt to other men
And since that mornlnn I havo loved them
all. Sully Pruehonnto.
VEGETABLE FOODS.
In the spring, when cabbage has lost
somo of its crispness, cut off the stem
and immerse in water and let stand
soveral hours. Its crispness will re
pay tho attention.
Pea Soup. Take a cup of dried split
peas, two and a third quarts of water,
n pint of milk, a small piece of fat
ealt pork, threo tablespoonfuls of but
'tor, two tablespoonfuls of flour, one

WAYS OF PREPARING FISH.
Fish is usually so well liked and in
most places cheap and plentiful, that;
different ways of serving It will be;
welcome.
Boiled Fish In Court Bouillon.
Minqe ono onion, one stalk of celery,
three sprigs of parsley, and fry in a,
little butter; add two teaspoonfuls of;
salt, six peppercorns, a bay leaf, three
cloves, two quarts of boiling wnterj
and a pint of vinegar. Boll fifteen,
minutes and keep to boil fish in. Rub'
the flsh with salt and lemon Julco, tie,
In a thin piece of muslin nnd boil un-,
til tho flsh falls from tho bones.
According to good authorities, flsh,
loses from ten to fifty per cent of its
weight in their preparation for cook-,
ItVg. They should in all cases be killed'
Immediately upon catching, both for
humane reasons and for their food'
value.
Flsh Hash. Molt a tablespoonful of
butter in a saucepan, add a cup of,
milk and two cups of any kind of'
cooked fresh flsh, freed from bones and"
skin and picked into small pieces.
Season to taste, .simmer five minutes,
and servo on slices of dipped toast.
Any flsh sauce left over from a previ
ous meal may be used in place of tho
milk In the hash.
Baked Flsh With Dressing. Bono,
or leave tho bones in. It is not a dif
ficult task to remove tho bones, and
it Is much easier carved. Make a
dressing, using bread crumbs and sea
soning of salt, pepper, onion Julco
and lemon peel and nutmeg. Rub the
flsh well with salt, stuff not too full,
sew up and lay pieces of breakfast ba
con or salt pork over it and undor it
whilo baking.
Rabbit-Catching Scheme.
There ts alwayB something new un
der the sun. The latest scheme on
invention to catch rabbits has Just'
reached us and It occurred during the;
last snow near Siler City. A man ot
this township went bunting tho day
after the snow and coming to a piece
of new ground found literally bum
dreds of tracks. Thero were dozens
of brush piles in tho Held and tho
tracks, of course, all led to those
piles. A bright Idea was suggested to
this hunter and ho at once went'
homo, secured n seining net and re
turned to the field ready for business.
Tho long Eclno was, placed around a
pile and the rabbits shooed out, and
by tho time he had visited fifteen piles
be had more rabbits than ho could
carry and then had to discontinue his
wholesale efforts. Slier City IN. (J.)

Pet Woodchuck Good "Ratter."
A pet woodchuck at tho homo ol
Johnnie Hughes or Cascade, Pa.,
catches mice and rats with tho suc
cess and agility of a cat. It was its
association with a cat that taught tn

WORK WONDERS WITH TUNIO
Garment Really Indispensable to the-
Woman Who Perforco Must
Practice Economy.
Tho woman of small means, whoso
social position obliges her to dress
well on small incomo per annum, do
vises many schemes whereby sho may
glvo her limited wardrobo tho np
pearanco of great variety. Within tho
pnst few seasons her greatest aid in
"putting up a bluff" has been tho ubi
quitous tunic. This stylo admits of
so many dollghtfui varlatlonB that tho
clever dresser docs not fall to mako
tho best of the advantages it offerB.
For instnnco, if one 1b possessed or
a well fitting white satin frock, ono
may vary tho tunic worn ovor it, and
a variety of effects may bo obtained.
It is certainly worth trying by tho
woman who has a limited number of
frocks and many occasions on which,
sho must wear them. Some llttlo al-.
teratlon or differences in tho arrango
mont of shades worn with a frock;
glveB nn air of novelty and interest.
Some women aro content to flsh out
tho Bamo frock and wenr it continu
ally with oven tho Belf-snmo Bpray of
flowers pinned on. It does not Beem;
to occur to them what an almost end
less variety can bo obtnincd by llttlo,
changes hor and thoro. with tiorhnna
different ornaments nndwaysof dress
ing tho hair. No woman should scorn
such details, and in her desire to look
her best uho may easily get Into tho
hnbit of critically examining horsolf
and her clothes.
To go back to tho subject of tunics
and the wonderful Ingenuity which is'
exercised In them, that they havo a
great effect in altering tho shnpo nnd
appearanco of tho figure Is a fact most
of us havo realized. A tall, slim figure
can, or course, stand practically any
arrangement of this overdress, but
the short woman in this, as in many'
other details or her toilet, has to boi
most careful that no hard lino, which
may detract in any way from her
weight, or any undue fullness, should
be worn. All lines should SWeep down
ward qr slope Bldeways, always keep
ing in view the wlnh to add length and
take away any suspicion of width In
the figure.
Concerning the Collar.
A great difference Is notlceablo in,
tho collars of tho moment. When thoy
nro worn low they aro turned well
away from tho throat, with a deep
tlchu-likc collar of softest muslin and
lace or a sailor collar of Oriental em
oroldcrcd linen.
The medium collar band lias no
voKiio. Contrarlly, tho very high col
lar, perfectly shaped nnd honed, of
soft nnd lllmy material, is considered
oxcecdlnsly umart, nnd figures on
most of the smart uftornoon gowns.
To Mend Hole In Sweater.
To mend a hole in n aweatcr, uso
yarn as for darning, start at tho top
nnd chain ntltch down tho length of
tho hole with a darning needle, catch
ing each loop sccuroly. You will have
n neat pieces of work nnd no ono will
notlco where-the holo has been.
