DREADS. 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.

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 and a half teaspoonfuls of salt and a jfow dashes olj pepper. ' Wash the poaa and soak over night. jSlmmer with the salt pork until ten der, then rub through a slevo.

When company Is expected or a drosmaklng alege Is nbout to be do clarcd, and whon one pair of hands has all tlio'cooklng to do, a little tlmo liroparfng for tho busy or full week will mako things' very much Tnoro com' fortablo for all concerned. JflL 1 lra jgMBfeft Prepare a good kettlo of stock, and," keep on hand for soups nnd sauces; a, pot of beans will help out for several' meals. They can bo used in salad and Boup also. Prepare a beef loaf or a baked ham,, or a boiled tonguo. TIicbo aro always easy to servo and well liked. Bako a good big Jar of cookies, a splco cako or a slmplo fruit cako which will keep. Cook up a big dish of rice, which can bo used in so many good dishes,' croquettes, griddlo cakes, muffins and' desserts. Cook a dish of dried prunes nnd peaches, to bo used In puddings and) as sauco with cako for dessert. Bako tho under crust for several, pies and keep in a cool place, llll with, any desired filling for a quick dessert., Prepare a Jar of salad dressing and, a simple salad of lettuco may bo; quickly served. Make out a week's menu as a guide, of course. They cannot bo followed exactly, as thero aro always left-overs, or other things to modify nrrango-i mcntB. If the wenthcr is too hot for soup, stock to keep, have a few cans of good soup or broth on hand. They will bo a wonderful help In time of need. Orange Sponge Cake. Beat tho yolks or three eggs until light, add a: little of a third of a cup of water and, ono nnd a half cups of powdered sugar; beat well and add tho remain der of tho water, tho Juice and a tea spoonful of grated rind of an orange' and a cupful of flour. Add tho beaten whites of tho eggs and a half cup of' Hour sifted with two teaspoonfuls of, baking powder. Bake in a moderato oven. N THE school of experience everybody pays his own tui tion, und nobody ever graduates. Judge. God will not cowards. make himself manifest tO Emerson. 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.) Grit. 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 chuck to becotno a "ratter." Tbo oya or tho nnlmai and its scent appear to be moro acuta than oven a cat's. It will llo for half nn hour nt a rat nolo und watt for tho rut to appear, it 1b generally sure death to tho rat when the chuck makes a dlvo. Braid, Ribbon and Mark Hats for owSj; ' ..jwtt ft3 t $ . ,V k TWO excellent samples or tho spring styles for misses aro pic tured hero. Braids (of the lacy kind), ribbon nnd email flowers aro the materials used. Shapes, both for misses nnd children, aro much llko thoso shown for grown people, but tho composition of theso hats so far as trimming and making is con cerned aro entirely different. Fluo plaiting3 ot Val or othor light laces aro used with great success. In Fig. 1 a lnco Tuscan braid is mado up with plaited Val laco and finished with a ribbon bow in a dull rose color. It is a very flno combination in Just tho right tones. This shape is always be coming and always fashionable Innumerable fancy bonnets grow dally moro popular.

Thoro aro many materials well suit ed to this simplo costume. It has the skirt mado with a narrow panel down tho loft Bido of front; throo pieces of satin are inserted from tho foot upwards; buttons and loops aro also used for trimming. Tho short coat is seml-flttlng, and has a tuck on each shoulder, kept In position by small buttons sewn closely together. Tho satin Is used for tho collar, pocket Haps aud cuffs. Hat of Btraw to match, trimmed with a ribbon bow and wings. Materials required: 4 Is yards 4ti inches wide, yard natin 20 Inches wide, C largo and 20 small buttons, 4 yards Bilk or satin for lining coat. Cotton Corduroys. Corduroys this summer will bo very much in evidence. So many women lfko tho velvet fin ished corduroys that they will doubt less bo glad to Bee tho same weavo in troduced into tho cotton fabrics. Tho new Bprlng cotton corduroys much roserablo tho velvet ousb, though they have not, of courao, tho Bamo brilliant finish. Thero is tho same cordllko weavo, howovor, and tho cot ton corduroys will doubtless proyo as good for hard eervlco os tho other members of tho corduroy family, WS$h Small Flowers Children's Wear tho debutante cling to theso childish modes as long as possible.

JULIA BOTTOMLEY. 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. 8haded Feathers, Shaded feathers aro to bo much worn this season, A color combina tion apparently In high favor is red and dark, bright cerlso.
