W.Platt,one day lsst week, made oae of the most vslasMe shipments ever seat from Colambus, and perhaps, from say point within oar state. It was a car load of buffalo robes, rained at $10,400. 00. These robes were collected within the limits of our state by the Pawnees, aad were sold to Mr. Piatt while green. He employs the squaws to tan them, and then sails them to parties in the east, aad makes a handsome profit upon them. The recent rains in this vicinity are regarded a very timely and favorable to growing crops. A good deal of corn in this neighborhood is already up, and the rains we have will insure the rapid growth of this cereal. The weather has beea most favorable for growing wheat Mr. O. Rose, however, is decidedly of the opiaion that frequent rain showers are not the best things for newly moulded bricks. We should exercise a little and study more closely the 1 rale oh this subject, and we will be better prepared to appreciate the beauty and benevolence of the univer sal rale, "He sendeth His rain upon the jast aad unjust."

Eggs a la San Malo are a disguised dish. Four hard-cooked eggs, four slices of tomato seasoned with a little salad oil- and tarragon vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of butter, little lemon Juice, some aspic Jelly, pinch of pep per, fine watercress, chopped parsley or chopped pistachio nuts, two tea spoonfuls anchovy or caviare. Put the yolks, butter, caviare? pepper and lemon Juice in a mortar and pound them until quite smooth. Put them in a forcing bag with plain tube and fill up the eggs. Coat them with liquid aspic Jelly, arrange on little sprigs of fine cress, chopped parsley or chopped pistachios. Recoat with more aspic. Dip the to mato in hot water, remove skin, slice, season with the salad oil and tarragon vinegar, and lay them on a lace pa per in an entree dish. Lay eggs on top. Garnish with, small cress' and chopped aspic Jelly. Eggs a la Rossi are nearly as elaborate.- Seven eggs, seven tablespoon fuls of creamN four tablespoonfuls of lean cooked chopped ham, two pickled gherkins, salt and pepper, seven slices of bread about one-half inch thick to cut out seven cases about in inch in diameter. Stamp out the cases with a round cutter. Remove the centers carefully with a knife, so that a thin, hollow case of bread remains. Dip each case for a second in a little milk or brush over with beaten egg, roll in fine bread crumbs; fry them a golden color In plenty of smoking hot fat. Drain them on white paper. Carefully break an egg into each of the .cases. Put one tablespoonful of cream on each egg, and a dust of salt and pepper. Place the cases In a mod erate oven and bake them until the eggs are slightly set Put a little chopped ham on the top of each egg, and lay across each four strips of gherkin. Serve at once, garnished with fried parsley. SECURE SUPPLY OF FRESH AIR. Necessary Ventilators Can Be Put in with Little Trouble. Where steam-heat is installed, ac cording to Suburban Life, ventilation Is especially needed, for the absence of flues and open fireplaces deprives the Tooms of a constant source of pure air,-and architects are often negligent In supplying efficient substitutes for them. When building a house, it is very eaay to have at least one open grating communicating with the out side air placed at the highest possi ble point in every room, with a flap, if desired, to prevent this outlet be coming an inlet; but, even when the house is built without these necessary ventilators, they can be easily made with very little expense or trouble. Perhaps the simplest method of pro viding a constant inlet for a room is to have a counterpart of the lower rail of the sash-frame made, with upper ana lower surfaces parallel. When this is put in Its place and the win dow shut down on It air comes in readily at the Junction of the upper and lower frames, and at a height which prevents those sitting In the room from feeling any draught Candied Lemon Rind. Don't throw away lemon and orange rind. When using lemons for lemon ade you may take the. rind off in strips or squeeze out the Juice and keep the riad la halves.

"Down In our back yard," said the man who boards, "is a reminder of my boyhood, a survival of barefooted, spindle-legged days. - Item, a grind stone. " "There's a boy in our house who turns that grindstone. Early and late be is down there fooling with it He doesn't have to turn it that is why he Is so passionately fond of the exer cise. If he had to turn it as I did when a boy he could be Induced to ap proach it only through the persuasive application of a stick or the end of a leather strap. The boy next door is his partner In these grindstone stunts. They sharpen knives. The next door boy holds the knife while our boy turns the crank. They have three dif ferent 'knives to work on. Apparently neither of these weapons is ever used for -anything except grinding. They are the sharpest knives I ever saw. In the days when I turned a grind stone I turned to some good purpose. The men I turned for sharpened scythes and axes and butcher's knives and things, but none of those imple ments ever got one-half so sharp as the knives these boys own. "Our boy and the boy next door get a good deal of fun out of their grind stone, but they miss many of the in cidents that enlivened my own tus sles with! that deadly machine. They don't have anybody to cuff them on the ear, for' instance, and growl: 'Hur ry up, there, now. Turn fast till I put an edge on this scythe. It is clouding up, and we must get the rest of that grass cut and dried before the rain comes.' Or maybe it was the weight of an ax I was laboring under. Un consciously, or more likely conscious ly, I slowed up a bit and fell to day dreaming. But I didn't dream long. A smart box on the near cheek and a nod toward the woodpile brought me to. 'No time "to dawdle,' said the somebody who held the ax, and so I limbered up and for the, space of a minute or so put a touch of lightning Into the revolutions 'of that stone wheel. "It was under such disadvantages that my early acquaintance with a grindstone flourished. These boys know no such incentive to pegging away at their everlasting grinding. Their bouts with the grindstone are mere play. Still, I am glad they have it to play with.. You don't see many grindstones in New York, and it does a fellow good to brush up against something that helped form his char acter'." The Clossd Season. A recently married West Philadel phia girl was the innocent cause of much amusement at a small dinner in one of the down-town hotels recently, says the Philadelphia Record. Her : father-in-law, having been made god father to the child of one of his busi ness associates, wanted to give some present to the infant in recognition of the honor. Knowing that others in tended bestowing mugs, spoons, eta, he decided that he would go out of this conventional line and give the baby a carriage. Being a very busy man, he commis sioned his daughter-in-law to do the buying, with Instructions to get a very fine one. During a lull in the conver sation at the dinner the father-in-law said: "Bess, did you get that baby carriage?" "Oh, J got you a beauty, and only ten dollars," was the reply. "You didn't get a good one for that price," protested the father-in-law. "Yes, I did," asserted the young lady; "the salesman said they were re duced because this wasn't the sea son." Then she wondered why every one laughed. Anecdote of King Edward. . The "Gaulols" relates the following "anecdote delicieuse." Edward VII., while still prince of Wales, was ac customed to take his morning walk aldne In St James' park. One day he noticed that he waa being followed by two little boys, and turned round to look at them. Although at first much disconcerted, one of them plucked up courage, and, taking off his cap, said: "Your royal highness, my little friend is French, and I have just made a bet with him that you are the heir to the throne of England." The prince of Wales replied, smiling: "You have won; but what was your little friend's bet?" "He bet that your royal highness was a Parisian." "Oh, well, then," said the prince. smiling, "he has also won." ' To Open Jars.

Check Gingham Ferhaae the Nearest Approach fe the Ideal Material Some Recipes Valuable to the Average .Cook. It IS true that many lecturers oa cookery can cook a dinner on the plat form without a spot appearing on their white muslin aprons. But the average home cook washes the dishes 'and cleans the range herself and needs something more substantial than the demonstrator's apron. There ia much' to be learned, however, from the lec turer and her dainty ways, and light aprons are always better than dark prints, which invite slovenliness through their ability to cover up its presence. The worker is instinctively more careful when she has on the white apron. " Check gingham makes the best aprons for kitchen wear and a six-inch ruffle across the lower edge will pro tect the dress beneath by catching anything that falls, and it keeps the edge of the dress from contact with the range. The fullness at the belt should be brought well to the back, so that the sides of the dress are cov ered. It ia sometimes a good way to make an apron in three sections, like a front gore and two side strips. This reduces the fullness at the waist but carries the apron well round the skirt The front gore of a skirt pattern will serve aa a guide for the front of. the apron, then attach the straight pieces and gather these only. It is well to have one long- sleeved and square necked apron to slip on In the emergency of being obliged to do a little kitchen work in unsuitable dress. Pattern designers offer a va riety of aprons Intended for house work wear, but most of them are too fussy; they are as much to launder as two plainly shaped ones, and generally have pockete to catch on door knobs and superfluous ruffles. Potato Biscuit Mash three medium sized boiled potatoes, add one beaten egg, half a level teaspoon of salt and one cup of milk. Sift one-half cup of flour aad one-half cup of corn starch together, with two level teaspoons of baking powder and combine with the potato mixture. ' Some more flour will be needed to make a dough that can be rolled out an inch thick. Cut in round cakes and bake in a hot oven. Squash Pies. For two pies use three cups of canned or stewed and sifted squash. In either case it should I be dry and not soft and watery. Add two cups of scalding hot milk, one cup of sugar, a level teaspoon of salt one half level teaspoon of cinnamon, and two beaten eggs. Pour into deep plates lined with pastry, or, if shallow plates are used, make a scalloped edge. Bake until the center puffs up. Beefsteak Smothered In Onions. Cook half a dozen onions cut in quar ters In a cup of water until soft add a teaspoon of flour, half a level teaspoon of salt aad a little pepper; cook five minutes, then add a rounding table spoon of batter. Have a good steak broiled and lay in the sauce pan with the onions; cover and simmer five minutes. Cheese and Potato Scallop. Season half a-dosen good sized hot mashed potatoes with salt and at least a round ing tablespoon of butter. Beat in half a cup of grated cheese aad turn into a buttered baking dish. Grate a good layer of cheese over the top and set ia a hot oven long enough to heat through and brown the cheese. Raised Cake. Cream one and one half cups of sugar and one-half cup of butter together, add one beaten egg. a few gratings of nutmeg, half of the, grated yellow rind and half the Juice of a lemon, add two cups of raised bread dough after it has risen light Dissolve half a level teaspoon of soda in a tablespoon of milk and work all together until smooth, adding a very little more flour to make a cake bat ter. Put iato two buttered cake pans, cover with a cloth, and let rise 'until light This will take more time than would be allowed for bread on account of the batter and sugar. Bake in a moderate oven. Almond Macaroon Tartlets. One cup milk, one level tablespoon corn starch, yolks two eggs, two level table spoons sugar, few grains salt, six macaroons pounded fine, one teaspoon almond extract, whites two eggs, two level tablespoons sifted powdered sugar, one-half cup blanched and fine ly chopped almonds, six tartlet cases. Scald the milk in double boiler. When hot add cornstarch diluted with a little cold milk. Stir until thick ened; cover and cook for 15 minutes; then add the egg yolks beaten and mixed with the sugar and salt Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. then remove from the fire; add the macaroons and extract and fill the tartlet cases. Beat the whites of the eggs very stiff and beat In grad ually the powdered sugar, then fold in the almonds. Spread on the tartlets and brown in a moderate oven. Serve cold. 'Washing the Hair Brush. A hair brush can be easily and quickly washed, as nothing Is needed bat some warm water and a small niece of soda. Dissolve the soda In he water and then dab the bristle ,:crt of the hair brush Into the water three' or four times, or until it is clean. Rinse the brush well in cold water and wipe It as dry as possible. Then set 't to finish drying in a window where ;he wind will blow in on It If possi ble. BABY BORN IN HISTORIC INN. Fifth Generation to See the Light in the Old Home. Bora la the house of his great-greatgrandfather and rocked hi the cradle that luUed his great-great-grandfather to aleep away back In old Connecticut before the beginning of the last cen tury, la the patriciaa beginning of wee Edward Griswold McCulIough, who made his appearance oa earth Suaday la the old Griswold laa at WcrtkiagtOBv He la the aoa of Ed- ward Miles McCullbug says the Co lumbus Dispatch. i In all the romance of oM Worthiag ton there ia ao greater halo thaa that which hangs over the Griswold iaa. It was built hi 1806 by Ezra GrlawoM, who came from Connecticut with the pioneers who settled much of the western reserve and central Ohio. The family was an old one even for old Connecticut and Ezra Griswold was a sturdy representative of it He brought this family into the "great west" with him and his son, George Griswold. was reared in the inn. He was eight years old whea his father brought him to Ohio. George Griswold. in turn, laherited the duty of perpetuating the name, and when his father died he fell heir to the inn property and lived through out his life where his father had build ed so well. His son was Worthingtoa Franklin Griswold, who, as his father had done, inherited the inn and lived in it To him and his good wife was born a daughter Harriet, who was reared in the home of the family, and who continued to live there when she became Mrs. McCulIough. Now she Is the happy mother of a son and she is rocking him In the .Griswold cradle that was brought to Ohio along with other household pos sessions by Ezra Griswold when he drove his ox team overland from Connecticut in 1S06. No one knows how long the unique heirloom had been in the Griswold family before that time, but it Is supposed that Ezra Griswold was himself rocked In it when he was a baby long before revolutionary times. When little Edward Griswold Mc Cullougn is baptized he will wear a little white dress that was made for the baptismal ceremony of his grand father, by his great-grandmother a dress that has been handed down In the family with great care and which will be treasured more dearly than ever when another epoch has been noted in its history. John Sharp Getting Busy. "The fact Is." said John Sharp Wil liams to a gentleman who had twice ineffectually sought to gain his at tention by calling him "senator," "I haven't got accustomed to the title. But I've begun to accustom myself to the atmosphere of my field of labor to be. To-day I went over to the sen ate chamber, slipped into the 'cloak room on the Democratic side, and tried to feel at home." "Did you tell a story?" was asked. "No, I didn't" "Well, you can't hope to rank as a senator until you havesa cloakroom story and it. has been printed." ".Well, I did borrow a cigar from a new senator. Then I sauntered over to the Republican side as carelessly as I could, took a seat alongside a brand new senator there, almost as new as I will be, and chatted with him with as much of an air to the manner born as1 my perturbed condition would permit From time to time I shall repeat the visit, in the hope that I shall be able to fully accustom myself to the change when it comes." Washington Post Shalt We Put "Swank" on tin List? Every now and then we hear used the wordr"swank," a'nd it must be ap propriately, tor it seems to match the situation. But few there are who un derstand its precise meaning. The London Globe, however, comes to their relief, for it says that "swank" is called bluff by Americans, and until some genius presented the British na tion with the other word "bluff" suf ficed. "Swanking is the gentlest of all arts. It relies for its success al most entirely on amiability of de meanor. A map may smile and smile, and be a swanker. In fact, he has got to. If he is not cheerful and at tractive, he, cannot swank, for the swankee, repelled, edges away, thus rendering his swanking null and void. It is the wide, cheery smile, the hearty back slap, and the general ac quiescence that makes the swanker." Is it worth while admitting the word to the vocabulary? Cream Patties.
