a basin ; have cream cold and , drop
ping Into the flour stir briskly with
11 fork , allowing no wet pools to form.
This should makea very stiff dough

sound when pulled off. lloll thin as
piecrust and cut Into strips one-half
to three-quarters of an Inch wide ;

MISCELIiAJfEOUS.
White paint , when dirty , should be
washed in milk. Colored paints may
) h also be treated In this way.
Lime sprinkled on the shelves will
keep pickles and jams in the store
room from becoming moldy. The lime
must be renewed occasionally , as it
loses its strength.
When tablecloths are beginning to
get shabby In the middle or at tlie
folds a few Inches cat at one end and
one side will completely alter the
place of all folds and will give the
cloth a new lease of life.
Boiling-hot liquid may be safely
poured into a glass Jar or tumbler by
first putting a silver spoon in the dish.
Bo careful , however , that a draught of
cold air does not strike the vessel
while hot.
Instead of using any sort of veil-
case , which requires thu folding u an
already mussed veil into still more
creases , use a toy rolling pin and roll
your veils around it , smoothing out
the mussed ends as well as you can.
Never expose leather to the extreme
heat of a flro or It will become hard
and liable to crack. Shoes and boots
should be dried at a safe distance
from the flre , but to expedite the pro
cess they may be filled with oats. The
damp of the leather will be absorbed
by the oats , which may be dried and
put away again for future use.
Whenever an oil painting becomes
dusty and discolored , It may be
cleansed by the use of white raw pota
to , for artists frequently make use of
this method. Commence at one corner
of the picture and rub the surface
with a raw potato which has been flat
tened by removing a slice ; as fast an
the potato becomes discolored remove
a thin slice with a sharp knife ami
continue to rub the picture until the
entire surface has been cleansed. Then
wipe the picture off with a soft cloth ,
and It will be found quite clean , and
the paints r/'ll not be Injured or faded ,
but simply cleaned. Good Literature.
Peanut Candy.
Two cups of New Orleans molasses.
Two cups of soft A sugar.
One cup of butter.
One saltspoon of salt.
Ono teaspoon of vanilla.
Six quarts of peanuts.
Put the butter , sugar and molasses
on together , adding the salt after it
comes to a boll. Boll until it forms a
soft ball in cold water , then take
from the stove and beat vigorously
ten minutes. Return to the stove and
boil until a spoon drawn through it
makes a slight path. Add the vanilla
and heat again. When beginning to
grow cold , stir In the peanuts and
pour into buttered pans.
Hotch Potch.
ilotch potch is an old-fashioned
Scotch dish , made in the spring , when
there are plenty of Iresh vegetables.
It Is a thick puree-like soup , it may
be made either from fresh or cooked
meat. This is one way of making It.
Three or four pounds of loin chops ore
put into a saucepan with about three
quarts of boiling water. Peas , harrl-
cot beans , carrots , half a turnip , pars
ley , a little hit of cabbage and some
green onions are added. Boll this very
slowly for an hour and a quarter , sea
son with pepper and salt. It should
to a thick broth when done.
SEEN AT THE DEPOT GATES
Tliero Are ITrequent Blockades When
Women Hunt for Their
Ticlc.ts.
13. J. Snnford , president of thu Union
Depot coiuinuij , Is In a mood to supply u
stocking room for women travelers. Ho
has nearly reached this conclusion be
cause of many rather embarrassing In-
Klents which have occurred In the pas-
agoways leadingto exit gates , reports
the Kansas City Star. "For , " as ho says ,
"women don't have many pockets , and
they hide their tickets and money In so
many places about their clothing. When
ihcy go after their valuables , It takes
time to reach thehi. Gatcmcn don't
have to tell them to 'hurry , ' because it I
usually the hurry that delays them. "
A few days ago , a young wonmn
walked to the gate operated by Curtis
Heaves , expecting to take a Santa Ko
limited train for Now Mexico. Thu
gntcman politely asked to sec her ticket.
"Why , do you have to see It ? " shu
asked.
"Yes , madam , " Heaves replied.
'There are two Santa Fo trains out
there , and I want ID &eo how your ticket
Is routed. "
The young woman blushed. Shu car
ried several bundles In her arms , ami
she looked at them , looked at the gate-
man , and looked appcallngly to a woman
near.
"Come , hurry ! " Heaves Insisted ,
"There are others behind you waiting to
get out. "
By this time the young woman's face
and neck had taken on a carmine hue.
She clung to her bundles. A crowd had
collected behind her and persons were
becoming impatient. Slowly the young
woman laid her bundles down beside her
and reached for her ticket and took It
from her stocking.
Not long ago John Wallcnstrom , train
crier , while doing extra duty at si gate ,
was confronted by a young woman go
ing to Chicago. Wallenstrom asked for
her ticket , and she "made a face" at him.
She insisted that she bo allowed on the
platforms without first showing her
transportation.
"Sorry , madam , " ho said , "but orders
are to make everyone show a ticket.
You'll have to cither get yours or go
back in the waiting room. "
The young woman saw he was in
earnest.
"All right , " she replied.
She laid her grip beside her , took hold
of the bottom of her skirts and went
after the ticket. In a dainty little pocket
attached to a garter she had it. And
she was so nervous she couldn't open the
clasp on the purse. She became excited.
"I'm getting nervous , " she said.
But she got the purse open and showed
her ticket. She was angry and "said
things , " about the depot and about th"
gateman. /
"They carry their tickets , sometimes , "
Wallenstrom said , "In places where they
have great difficulty In getting them.
One woman came to a gate and when she
learned she had to show her ticket , she
began digging in her bustle. She worked
and worked , but no ticket. Finally , she
became frightened , believing she had
lost It. I didn't know what would hap
pen , so to avoid further embarrassment
I sent her to Mrs. Shnll , the matron.
They found It just where she had
fastened It In her bustle.
"Tliero Is hardly a day passes that
women do not come to the gates with
their tickets concealed In their stock-
Ings. Some of them think we mistreat
them when we ask that the tickets be
shown. "
Many of these caaua have been re
ported to Mr. Sanford. Gatcmen have
suggested that a stocking room be pro
vided. "It would help the women , " Mr.
Sanford said.
RAILWAY RUMOR.
India's railway building for the next
three years will amount to about | 50-
000,000 per annum.
The total length of railways In
Japan Is now over 4,500 miles. The
gauge Is three feet six Inches.
The largest locomotives require more
than 100 gallons of oil a year to keep
thpm in smooth running order.
J. P. Hall , of the Santa Fc , is or
ganizing an association composed ot
men who were once messenger boys
The llstit Is said , includes Andruw Car
negie , William C. Van Home , Marvlr
Hughitt , W. A. Gardner , Col. Hoben
C. Clowry and A. J. Earllng.
Statistics of the railway mileage o
Europe show that the total mileage o
the continent and the United KIngdon
on January 1 , 1905 , amounted to 188 ,
797 miles , being an increase of 2,098
miles over the corresponding date o
1904.
Matrimonial tickets are supplied by
the Canadian Pacific railway to those
settlers In the Northwest territory who
wish to make a journey In order to ge
married and on presenting the return
coupon and a marriage certificate a
man is entitled to free transportation
for his bride.
In recent years the construction o
railways proceeded In Germany at th
rate of about C21.5 miles a year. Th
entire mileage exceeds at present 34 ,
183 miles. The electrification of rail
ways Is still confined to a few sub
urban lines , where the system work
satisfactorily.
Mammoth Freight Car.
The biggest freight car In the world
is being constructed in the St. Paul
railroad shops at Milwaukee. The
largest freight cars at present are of
100,000 pounds' capacity and are
looked upon as monsters. The new
car will have a capacity of 200,000
pounds. It Is being built to trans
port a 90-ton section of a base for a
blast engine which Is being shipped
to Bethlehem , Pa. The car is 41 feet
long , has four instead of two trucks ,
and sixteen Instead of eight wheels.
LOYALTY WON FORTUNE.
(
Railrond Mnn Leaves Generous Bequest - i
quest to His Long-Time [
AEt.stnnt.
Eighteen years of unswerving devo-
lon has brought Its rich reward to John
myth , of 87 Crawford road , N. B. , once
Now York "cabby , " now the heir of n
nllroud man of wealth. For that length
f tlmo ho served the late George Bur
ette Sprlggs , formerly general freight
gent of the Nickel Plato system , In the
apaclty of valet and confidential sccro-
ary.
For 11 vo years prior to his death Mr.
Sprlggs was an invalid suffering from mi
ncurablo malady. During that tlmo
myth hovered over his beside , forcgo-
ng all his pleasures. For weeks at n
line the faithful valet was seldom able
0 take off his clothes and was forced to
natch his sleep In a chair by the bed of
its allllcted employer.
Mr. Sprlgps died n few weeks ago ; but
10 did not forget the self-sacrificing de-
otlon of the man who soothed the last
lours of his lonely life. The former
'cabby" from Now York Is now heir to
cal t'Hlatu and moneys representing a
icquest of moro thnn ? r > 0,000.
It WHB on a dull November morning.
8 years ago , that George Burdotto
Sprlggs met John Smyth , cabman , In the
ot by the Hoffman house , New York.
"Cab , sir ? " inquired Smyth of the
nagnnte.
Sprlggs turned and looked at ( ho
cabby. "
"Is this the man you recommended ? "
10 asked , turning to the hotel clerk at
he desk. The clerk nodded.
"Son , would you llko to go to Clovo-
and with me' . ' I have just discharged
ny valet , and Callnhan here tells mo
you are honest and trustworthy. Will
you come ? "
It did not take long to strike the bar
gain. The promise of travel and the In-
lucemonts held out were too strong to
jc resisted by the neophyte who wished
to plunge Into the baptism of life real
Ife by "seeing the country. " And the
arrangement was never regretted , either
by the busy man of railroad affairs , who
md neither wife nor child to brighten
Ills life , or by the former cabby , who left
little behind , and who Is yet in tlib full
Ido of young manhood , with the means
at his disposal to pursue a crowning de
sire.
"Ho never treated me as a servant ,
lnit rather as a companion , " said Smyth.
"Mr. Sprlggs was ono of those men
whom the possession of wealth does not
spoil. Ho was liked by every person with
whom he came In contact , by his serv-
ints as well as by his business asso
ciates.
"Tho property he left me was entirely
unexpected. Before ho died ho told mo
1 should bo taken care of In his will.
But what was left to mo was so much
beyond my deserts or expectations that
I was overwhelmed. I tried to do my
duty while I was In his employ , but
really I did nothing moro than what I
was very liberally paid for. "
George Burdetto Spriggs was 71 years
old when he died. He had railroad and
other Interests in Canada and on the
continent as well as those In this coun
try. By his will ho left $500 to each of
three other employes and some of his
real estate to a niece In Gloucestershire ,
England. The rest of his estate ho be
queathed to John Smyth , once cabman ,
then faithful valet.
WEATHER AFFECTS RATES.
Conditions of Temperature May Force
Railroads to Radical Re
ductions.
Weather conditions are frequently
of striking influence upon rates. To
start with , writes Samuel Spencer , In
Railway Rates and Industrial Prog
ress , " In Century , the seasonable topic
of Ice , there was In a winter not long
past a total failure of the Ice crop
on the Hudson river and the lakes and
streams In New Jersey and eastern
Pennsylvania. It was suddenly re
alized that distant sources must be
utilized for the supply of Ice for New
York and the populous adjoining re
gion for the coming summer. Lake
Champlaln and Lake George , ccveral
hundred miles away , seemed most
available , and rail transportation bad
to be arranged. Hero was a new sit
uatlon , and a now and exceptional
traffic , for which no rates had ever
before been needed or established
The emergency was quickly met. The
necessary low rates were made , the Ice
was transported , and the deficiency
supplied.
A year or so ago the weather gave
another aspect to the ice problem. A
particularly cold season left a large
surplus stock of Ice In the Icehouse :
In the vicinity of New York city
This depressed the Ice so as to affec
Injuriously the business of those lakes
In Pennsylvania which regularly
shipped Ice to New York. To repair
as far as possible this unexpected in
Jury to a regular , established business
the railroads leading from Pennsylva
nla made a substantial reduction In
their rates for Ice transportation herder
order that their patrons during the
emergency might reach other moro
distant markets.
Reed's Ride "Round the Horn. "
Tom Reed , accompanied by William
Bryant , a well-known politician In
Waltbam , took a Watertown branch
( Fltchburg railroad ) train ono even
Ing a few years ago for the watci
city , where he was booked to speak a
a Republican rally. It was Reed'
first experience going "around th
horn. " Stop after stop was made , am
finally the brakeman sang out
'Bleachery ! Bleachery ! The nex
station Is Chemistry ! "
"Say , Bill , " drawled Reed , "thi
train is taking a regular high schoo
tourse. " Boston Herald.

Passwords At The Banks.
The banks { five secret pass
words to depositors who can-
lot read or write. When one of
these depositors goes to draw
out money the cashier leans for
ward and whispers :
"What's "
your password ?
The depositor whispers an
nnswer and , if the correct pass
word is given , t'ie ' money is
paid out.
In a bank the other day a
negro woman sat upon a bench ,
icr face indicating intense ap
plication of mind. The cashier
nodded toward her and said :
She's forgotten her password
and is trying to think of it.
She came to the window awhile
ago and wanted to get some
money. She only wanted
small amount. But she can't
write. She's one of quite a
number of our depositors who
are given passwords when they
open an account. When she
came in I asked her to give her
name and address. She as
swered right up. What's your
password ? ' I asked her.
"M-m ' she exclaimed .
- , , pur.
sing her lips , 'let me see. Ain
dat pcculiah ? Hit done 'scaped
mah mind now. "
"Can't you think of it1 I
said. 'You know I can't paj
the money until you give me
the password ? '
"Lord , honey'she exclaimed
'All's mighty nigh dat money ,
But Ah jes' cant 'member hit
now. '
'Well , sit down and think it
' to her. 'it
over , I suggested .

In a few minutes the old wo
man arose , with a happy look
upon her face , and went up to
the cashier's window. She put

There is a new deal in affairs
in Nebraska and the people are
fighting for lower railroad rates.
So many things arc happening
of real interest to every citizen
that a daily newspaper is now a
necessity. The biggest bargain
that has come to our notice is
The Daily State Journal without
unclay from now until January
1 , 1907 , for only 50 cents. This
is such a small price that it can
only be made to introduce the
paper into new homes. The pub
lishers claim that this is not a
scheme to get you on their books
and then keep on sending , but
that the paper will be stopped on
January 1 , 1007. It would be
hard to find a better way of in
vesting 50 cents.
