ANcHOVY SAUCE ~Make a drawn
butter sauee and add to it two or three
teaspoon fals of anchovy paste. When
it thickens remove it from the fire;
you may add lemon juice if you like
it.
EneLisg POUND CAKE.—One pound
of butter, one pound of sugar, one
pound of flour, twelve eggs, one pound
of ralsins, three pounds of currants,
halt a pound of citron, half a pound of
almonds, a gill of brandy. Bake like
Palmetto cake.
Sort TOING.—Beat the whites of
two eggs to a stiff froth, add «radu
ally a half pound of best pulverized
sugar, beat well for at least half an
hour, flavor with lemon juice. To
color a delicate pink, use strawberry,
currant or cranberry juice, or the
grated peeling of an orange or lemon
moistened with the juice and squeesed
through a thin cloth, will color a
handseme yellow.
BEEFSTEAK WITH TOMATO BAUCE.
—Take a dozen ripe tomatoes, skin
and scald them (canned tomatoes may
be used) ; put them in a saucepan with
half a pint of good beef gravy ; season
with salt and pepper, and put them to
stew for an hour. When the steak is
nicely broiled send it to table with the
sauce in a tureen,
ParapisE Pupping.—Pare, core,
snd mince three apples into small
pieces, and mix them with one quar
ter of a pound of bread-crumbs, three
egge, three ounces of sugar, three
ounces of currants, the rind of one-
half lemon, one-half wineglass of
brandy, salt and grated nutmeg to
taste, Put the pudding into a butter-
ed mould, tie it down with a cloth,
boil for two hours, and serve with
aweel sauce.
CELERY Soup.—Boil asmall cup of
rice in three pints of miik until it will
pass through a sieve. Grate the white
partof three heads of celery on a bread
grater; add this to the milk after it
has been strained; put to it a quart of
strong veal stock; let it boil till the
celery is very tender, Beason with
salt and cayenne pepper and serve,
HaM.—To boil a ham, scrape and
wash carefully in plenty of cold water
Put it to cook in boiling water enough
to cover it entirely, hock end up ; let
it remain on the front of the stove till
the ham begins to boil; then put it
back, and let it simmer steadily for
three hours. Takeit off the fire, and
let the ham remain in the water it is
boiled im tall cool enough to handle;
then skin it, put ina baking pan
and sprinkle with about three ounces
of brown sugar; run your pan inio a
hot oven, and let it remain a half-
hour, or until the sugar has formed a
brown crust. This not only improves
the flavor of the ham but preserves its
aloes.
RABBIT.—Cut up the rabbit, remove
the breastbone and bone the legs.
Put the rabbit, a few slices of ham, a

the hole in the middle of the crast, a
Jittle good gravy, which may be made
of the breast and leg bones of the rab-
bitand two or three shank bones
flavored with onlon, herbs and spices.
Rabbits, whish are in the best condi-
tion in midwinter, may be fricasseed
like chicken in white or brown sauce.
To roast, stuff with a dressing "made
of bread-crumbs, chopped salt pork,
thyme, onion, and pepper and salt,
sew up, rub over with a little butter
or pin on it a few slices of salt pork,
add a little water in the pan, and
baste often. Serve with mashed pota-
toes and currant jelly.

Women's Work.
Mrs, Stanton speaks of ‘‘the indi
vidual sacredness that comes of a per-
sonal bank account,” in a paper in
the current number of the North
American Review, and the remark is
one eminently suggestive, The differ-
ence of having or not having, a little
fund of money of one’s own, is no
only a question of finance but is repre-
sentative of the atmosphere of ease
nd independence of personal inclinat
tion, or that of independence on the
will and judgment of another. The
woman who earns her own money
and who spends it at her own sweet
will has, to this extent at least, a de
gree of golid satisfaction in life.
Every woman has countless ways in
which she likes to spead money with-
out talking the matter over with any
one. Bhe has her own little private
charities, her gifts, her tastes.
Mrs, Stanto n says the love of accu-
mulation is as strong in woman as in
man, but that is perhaps rather a
sweeping generalization. A woman
usually cares more for money as a
present currency for what it will do
and give to herself and others than for
its hoarding or growth. Ofremuner
ative employment Mrs. BStanton
adds :
Next to freedom of locomotion and
individual independence as element
of health, comes the necessity of re-
manerative employment and pleasant
mental occupation. Woman Is now
in the transition period from the old
to the new, and is struggling to serve
a higher purpose in life than she has
heretofcre known. All girls are not
satisfied with the amusements soclety
has to offer, ncr all women with the
position of wives, mothers, and house-
keepers; and it is the want of con-
genial employment that makes the
lives of women so vacant and thelr
health so uncertain, The love of
accumulation is as strong in women
as in men. It isa great satisfaction
to know that one has acquired the
skill to make a livelihood ; has the
power to shape conditions; is free to
gratify tastes ; to choose surroundings;
to enjoy a little of that individual
sacredness that comes from a personal
bank account, Statistics show that
girls taking a college course are more
healthy than those who lead listless
lives In society; that women who do
business are far more vigorous than
those who are mere household de-
pendents.
That the want of congenial employ-
ment is enough to make life empty
few can doubt; yet, when one looks
at things as they are it is 8 source of
absolute astonishment to find so many
women working in ways which are to
them a burden, and at pursuits for
which they haye no vocation.
Some one has recently said that the
great question which interests women
at present is aa to how they may obtain
employment without becoming factory
hands or being employed in shope,
How do men obtain employment with
out recourse to these? The question
for theone, as for the other, answers
itself. People escape the lower by fit-
ting themselves for the higher, and
then by resolutely insisting on taking
the higher, If a woman will allow
herself to be shoved to the wall and
stay there quietly she will doubtless
find the way easy. But that there is
the slightest necessity tor her doing so
is not true, A woman can do what
she will, if she has the strength to
will anything. A little staying power
is a very good element in life.
It is not worth while to be discour.

Sir Peter and the Cow,
whom I spoke In a recent letter. He
was an opposition member during the
lamentable government of Sir John
Mackenzie in the last decade, and was
a constant and most uncomfortable
thorn in the side of that unhappy
premier. Bir John was a conspleuous
railroad magnate, and just before the
opening of Parliament one winter Sir
Peter called on him to induce him to
pay $40 for a widow's cow that had
been run over by the cars, “I con't
believe there’s anything in it!” ex.
4
claimed the premier, peremptorily ;
‘it’s probably a trumped-up case, but
’11 inquire and you eall to-morrow."
The gentleman from New Bruns-
wick was not used to being treated so
o.va'ler'y, but he pocketed it and called
in the morning.
“There's no justice in it. We won’t
pay for the cow,” broke in Bir John.
“ You won't ; won't you 2’ rejoined
Bir Peter, with a manner quite as
bouncing as that of the leader of the
government. ‘ Have you been there
or sent there and investigated it?"
“ No, I haven't, but I won't pay for
the cow. It's a mere trifie, and she
ought to have kept off the track.”
* Don’t the law say you shall have a
fence?"
“1 won’t pay for the cow, now ; and
that’s all the answer you'll get.”
“You won't pay for the widow's
cow ; won't you, Bir John Mackenzie?
I will make you pay for it,”’ exclaim.
ed Bir Peter, now thoroughly aroused.
“You will; will you! How will
you ?' growled the premier.
“11 take it out of you during the
session, as sure as you are a livisg
man. The widow's $40 isn’t any-
thing, isn’t it? I'll take it out of
you 1”
It was an Irishman against a
Scotchman, and both were angry.
The sequel proved that Sir Peter took
it out of him very thoroughly. Ho is
a round-headed man, a hard worker,
a pugnacious and redoubtable foe, an
unforgiving enemy, bold and elegant
in debate, no dilettante, but a hard
hitter, snd some of his onsiasughts
were furious, If he had not great tact
he bad great force, and he never lor-
got the cow. In the speeches he made
every day against the measures and
methods of the government, then
under serious suspicion, he told the
story of the cow and trotted her out
with a frequency that must have
seemed like cruelty to animals,
Finally the last day of the session
dawned, and the consideration of
Mackenzie's expense budget was re-
sumed, It provided the appropriations
for the coming year.
Bir Petr Mitchell took the floor
and launched inte a eulogy of the de
ceased cow and the propriety of mak
ing ap appropriation for the widow.
He was greeted with lsughter and
mocking applause, and then his audi
tors waited uneasily for him to finish.
He continued. He told the story over
again with embellishments and elabo
rations. He contrasted the stinginess
of the wealthy ruler with the quiet
endurance of the penniless widow.

commands to mercy, justice and char.

manity. Members straggled In again,
He quoled the Bong of the Bhirt. They
appealed to him to draw his remarks
to ss close. He retold the story of the
cow, Meantime, Sir John Mackenzie
was perspiring with wrath and anxiety
in the remier’s apartment hard by.
All his hopes were bound up in the
appropristion budget. What if it
should not come to vote! The hon.
orable member from New Brunswick
could not be stopped, for this was the
one bill in the Canadian Parliament
on which a member could speak as
long as he wished. There was no way
of cutting short the debate. No mo
tion was in order while he was speak-
ing, except the motion to adjourn—
and that would be adjournment sine
die, The Government members
were in consternation, a8 the orator
delivered a speech on the blessings of
vaccination, gave statistics on the cost
of fences in the United Siates, passed
an elaborate enconlum on the saperi-
ority, for draft purposes, of Devon cat-
tle, to which class the deceased do-
mestic friend of the bereaved widow
belonged, and then began to describe
the religious eccremonies in which
the sacred cow of Barmah takes part,
when the bell rang for vespers. A
short time more and thesession would
expire by law, and the Government
bad passed no appropriation bill !
At this critical junctura one of the
Government members returned ex-
citediy from the Premier's room,
rushed to the orator's desk, ani ex.
claimed : “In the name of God, what
ails you, Mitchell? What do you
want 2"? “still, said Sir Peter, fin.
ishing the sentence he had on his lips,
“not a cent has ever been paid for the
widow's cow!” The member uttered
8 vehement exclamation about tha!
animal, and added : “Sir John Mao
kenzie suthorizes me to say that he
will pay for the cow, if you'll let this
bill come to a vote.”’
Sir Peter sat down rather tired, and
the widow got her pay. The Govern.
ment organs declared that the widow's
cow had cost $40,000, Her champion

In some parts of the West the large
oat crop and deficiency in cern will
cause the substitution of oats for corn
as feed for hogs. A bushel of corn
weighs nearly twice as much as one of
oats, If ground together the mixture
makes a better feed for growing pigs
and breeding sows than either grain
alone.
A corr espon ent of the Breeder
(Gazette is of the opinion thst futtening
hogs in large numbers under ons man-
sgement is not attended always with
success, as they do not seem to thrive
when many are fed and kept together.
The same care cannot possibly be
given them as is done with only a few,
as cleanliness is indispensible to the

The following is stated to bea nearly

and you have the number of bushels
in the ear ; for shelled corn take one-
half of this. To be strictly correct, add
half a bushel for every one hundred.

Kathy's Music Box.
“ Well,” said Kathy, trying to look
cheerful, ** we've got a good fire, if we
haven't got any supper, and that's one
comfort, this freczing night.”
Mikey epread out his little blue
hands over the bright blaze with an
air of satisfaction, but at the mention
of supper his round face lengthened
visibly, and he looked wistfully
toward the empty cupboard.
“ We might do without the shupper
very well, as we had praties for din-
ner, but what shall we have for aiting
in the morning, sure?’ ssad thought-
ful Johumy, with his little Irish
tongue,
“I cannot tell,” sald Kathy, sigh-
ing, *‘but the saints will not let us
starve, Perhaps Mrs, Arnold will be
ready to pay me for my work by that
time, Then we'll have a nice break-
fast, if it is a late one,”
“Hot cakes and sirup,’’ suggested
Mikey, smacking his lips, as if he
were already tasting the delicious
compound. *‘You don’t look as if you
couid bide that long without a morsel
to pit in your mouth. You were
afther giving all the dinner till us,
and didn’t ate the full of a thimble
yoursel, You'll be getting the sickness
again if you do that way, Kathy.”
Kathy did feel faint. It was true
that she nad scarcely tasted a mouth-
ful of dinner, and, as she had been
ill, she felt the need of food more
than she usually did in her days of
fasting. It was no common thing for
her to go without her dinner and sup-
per both, but now it seemed as if she
could not “bide’”’ until the next day,
without even a crust of bread.
“Bouan’t I go and see if Mr. Finn
would trust us just this once, fora
loaf of bread and a bit of tay? Tay is
ju: t the thiog you need,” said Johnny
after musing awhile, with his grave
eyes fixed on the fire,
“I don’t know but you may, John-
ny,’ said Kathy, hesitatiogly., “He
refused to do so onee, though, and I'd
rather do almost anything than ask
bima an.”
“0,” said Mikey, dancing about the
flocr, “ I'll be putting the tay kettle on
right away. Won't it be jolly if we
have the bread and the tay ;"” and his
little freckled face fairy beamed w.th
delight.
But Kathy looked very sad and
anxious,
“Tell him that we will pay him to
morrow if poesible, and if not, then
on the day after,” said she to Johnny,
who was buttoning his old threadbare
coat, in which to braye the bitter
night.
“The tay kettle "ll be hiling in a
minute,” said Mikey, placing it over
the glowing coals as soon as Johnny
had gone. “Hark till you hear it sing,
Kathy.”
“Poor little fellow,’ thought Kathy,
“I am #0 afraid he will be disappoint-
ed! OO, what a dreadful thing it 18 to
be so poor, and what will happen to

“There !” sald Mikey, after a few
moments cf silence. “‘It is begluning
to sing now, and doa’t it be jolly? It
is singing for good luck. I know it is,
for I vever heard it make a noise that
pleasant 1”
It did make a plescant noise, truly ;
but Johnny had been gone a long
time, and Kathy began to feel anxious,
At last his step sounded on the stairs,
and Mikey rushed to open the door,
“0 dear! he hasn’t got anything,
Kathy ? I suppose Mr. Finn wouldn't
let him have an) thing. What a mean
old man.”
“Mr. Finn says he isn’t going to
trust anybody any more ; but he wants
to know if you wouldn’t be after sell
ing that musie-box of yours—says
he'll pay you $4 for it,”’ said Johnny,
all out of breath.
“Sell my musio-box I" exclaimed
Kathy. “What a strange idea? How
did he know that I had such =»
thing 7’
“He says he's heard it many a time
when he's been after goin’ by the
house, and he likes the tunes it
plays.”
“Indeed!” sald Kathy, almost in-
dignant that one should dare to pro-
pose such a thiug as her selling the
thing she prized most cn earth, for it
belonged to her sallor brother Jamie,
who was lost at sea three or four years
before. When he went away he told
her never to part with it ifshe could
help it. And though Kathy had been
in sore straights before, ard had been
obliged to sell everything that they
could possibly spare from their little
stock of household furniture to procure
fuel and bread, she never had thought
of sparing the musio-box. Not only
becanse it was Jamie's did she value
it, but its music had always been a
great comfort to her. It played sweet,
plaintive old Irish and SBootch taues,
and she kept it wound up nearly all
the time, and, while she was at her
work, it carried her thoughts sway
into pleasanter places. It was the
ehief delight and pride of both Johnny
and Mikey, and it was seldom that
they were wiliing to let it remain
silent for one moment.
Mikey's disappoir tment was too
much for him, and he began to ery in
spite of himself. The tea ketllv/s
merry song was unendurable now. It
seemed spiteful and mocking, some
way, as it sent its fantastic wreaths of
steam into the smoky air of the dingy
old kitchen,
Kathy sat down, and, leaning her
head on her hand, began to think.
How much good $4 would do them

she could obtain any money to-mor-

was only coal enough to last until the
middle of the next day, If the weather
should be as cold as it was now, She
felt as if she ought to part with the

“Four dollars is a big heap of

“Not so very many, dear,” said
Kathy, doubtfally, * but I suppose we
must sell it, after all. I cannot work
and go without food, and if I should
be sick again we should all starve.”
But the tears came into her eyes
when she looked upon the poor old
music-box and thought it would be
for the last time. Mlze’s tears began
to flow afresh, and Johnny looked as
if he was going to lose his last friend.

And soon he will be here
“How did you know Jamie had
landed ?”’ broke in a blithe voice from
the doorway. “‘Bless the old music
box, "Kathy ! I never should have
found you if it hadn’t been for that,”
Kathy grew white to the very lips,
and would have fallen if Jamie had
not caught her in his arms. For
it was the same Jamies whom they
had so long supposed dead, and the
sight of his face again overcame her
entirely. But she soon came to her
senses, and such a happy meeting as
it was you never saw in all your life,
Johnny and Mikey fairly dsnced for
joy when they came to realize who
the stranger was, and the old music
box sang as it never sang before,
*‘I thought you were dead, Jamie,’
sald Kathy, at last, “The papers said
that the Fearless was wrecked, and all
on board perished,”
“I know that,” said Jamie, “and
the Foarless was wrecked, but two
others of the crew beside myself were
saved. We managed to cling to the
wreck until a vessel came along and

“Oh, I heard that rent was cheaper,
and that I could obtain work more
easily here,” said Kathy.
“But things look as if you had had
a hard time, my poor little sister,’
said Jamie, looking about the bare,
comfortiess room.
Then Mikey made hate to tell him
inat they hadn't anything to est in
the house and were going to sell the
mu ie-box,
“Sell the music box!” exclaimed
Jamie. “Why, I wouli as soon sell

Jamie did pick up money enough to
