to a deputation of Silesian ladles on
May 13: "I always regret that so little
Influence in politics is allowea to tno

not expect ladies to deliver speeches in
parliament, but I believe that the re
sults of our elections would be more
national and more satisfactory If they
were more under female Influence than
now. Honest German women, wives'
and mothers, do not appear In public
as socialists, and I therefore believe
that female sympathy with our politi

SELECTED RECIPES:
Red Currant Jam. Take the currants at
the height of thi'lr season, the finest that
can be had, free from dust, but gathered
on a dry day: strip them with great care
from the stalks, weigh and put them Into
a preserving pan, with three pounds of the
best sugar reduced to powder to four
pounds of the fruit; stir thorn gently over
a brisk clear lire, and boll them exactly
eight miinit-s from tho tlrst full boll. As
the Jam Is apt to rise over the top of the
pan. It Is better not to till It more than
two-thirds, and if this precaution should
not bo suttlelent to prevent It, It must t9
lifted from the lire for an Instant. To
many tastes a still finer Jam than this
(which we ttnd sufficiently sweet) may le
made with an equal weight of fruit and
sugar boiled together for seven mlnuu.
There should bo great exactness with re
spect to the time, as both the llnvor and
brillliitit color of the preserve will bo In
jured by longer bulling.
Itlnckherry Jam. For blackberry Jam
allow three-quarters of a pound of mignr
to a pound of fruit. Mix the sugar with
the fruit and set It at the back of the lire
till the Jnlcrt begins to show, mnsliliig the
fruit a little to assist In the process.
Then bring the fruit forward und let it
cook, stirring It repeutedly for about nn
hour. It must boil rather rni'..lly to he-
come properly reduced. Test It before put
ting It In the Jurs by cooling a little of It
to see that it baa become properly thl.'k
ened. Pour It Into porcelain niarmalndo
Jars and let It cool for twenty-four hours
before sealing It up. Press brandy pa
pers close over the Jum. These consist
simply of white paMd dipped In brundy.
Seal up the marmalade Jars with paper,
using the whltj of un egg for mucilage.
Tie u layer of cotton batting over each
Jar to make nssuranee doubly sure that
It will keep. Mark each Jar separately
with Its contents when you put It awuy,
Tllackberry Roly-Poly Tud ling. Shred
four ounces of suet finely and add a pinch
of salt, three-quarters of a pound of Hour
nnd three-quarters of a teaspoonful of
baking powder: mix with cold water to
muke a stiff paste, roll It out twice as long
as wide and the third of nn Inch think:
spread evenly with ripe bllrkberrles and
leave nn inch nnd a half without fruit at
the edges; roll up, pinch the ends nnd side
edges securely, and wet to make them ad
here: lay the pudding In the center of a
rinsed and llourcd cloth, roll It and fasten
the ends securely, then plunge Into boil
ing wnter nnd boil stendily for two hours;
turn out for Bervlng nnd send sweet sauce
to tuble with it.
Blackberry Shortcake. To make black
berry shortcake sift together half a
pound of flour, a coffeespoonful each of
salt and sugar and two spoonfuls of bak
ing powder. Work Into this mixture a
quarter of a pound of butter; add grad
ually two gills of cold boiled milk; mix
quickly with a knife; dredge flour over the
moulding board and turn the paste upon It;
toss with the knife until It Is floured; pat
It gently with a floured rolling pin, and
roll it down to half an inch thlnckness;
put a plate on top of the paste and cut
around it. Grease a baking tin, put the
rounds upon it and bake. When done,
make an incision round the center of the
edge and tear apart. Arrange a layer of
the berries on one half of the cake, dredge
with fine sugar; place the other half on
the berries; cover the top with the largest
berries; add a liberal quantity of sugar
and serve. A mixture of whipped white
of egg and sugar Is sometimes added to
the top layer, and It Is plac?d in the oven
a moment to set.
Raspberry Dessert. Put one ptnt of
fully ripe fresh raspberries Into a porcelain-lined
sauce pan. with two tablespoon
fula of water and three tablespoonfuls of
pulverizoxl sugar. Place the saucepan
over the Are, shaking It continually until
the Juice flows freely. Before the rasp
berries lose thalr shape entirely take
them out carefully. Now, boll the syrup
till clear and pour It out. Rcat to a cream
a piece of butter the size of an egg, add a
tablespoonful of pulverized sugar, a ta
blespoon ful of grated bread crumbs, two
drops of almond flavoring and the yolks
of two eggs (well beaten). Mix oil thor
oughly togother and add the whites of two
eggs whipped to a frooth. Now, have
some small, deep patty pans, line them
with good pastry, put the raspberries on
this, pour over them the syrup, and spread
the mixture on top of all. Bake half an
hour in a brisk oven.
Raspberry Jelly. Crush the raspberries
and strain them through a wet cloth. Put
the Juice Into a prescerving pan with
three-quarters of a pound of hot, but not
burnt sugar, to ono pound of Juice; boil it
ten minutes and tak.' care that It does
not darken; remove the pan off the fire,
strain the Juice through a bag and pour
It into pots. Do not touch the bag until
all the Jelly has passed through, else It
may become thick.
Raspberry Jam. Use three-quarters of a
pound of sugar to a pouml of fruit. First
boll the fruit alono a few minirtes, thn
add the sugar. Roll three-quarters of an
hour, stirring well. Kill littl? Jars or
glarses whllo the Jam Is boiling hot; when
the glasses are cold, cover them first with
papers soaked in sweet oil or brandy,
and then with second papers moistened
with the whites of eggs, and pressed
against the sides of the glasses to ex
clude the air.
Spiced Currants, Thes? form one of the
most"Tfillclotis meat relishes thnt the gar
den affords. Tako two pounds of sugar,
one pint of vinegar, a teaspoonful onch
of mace and cloves and half a teaspoon
ful of cinnamon, tho same of all-spice, nnd
a small piece of ginger root. Pso tho
ground spices and put them In a muslin
bag with half a dozen peppercorns, nnd
then put them Into the boiled and
skimmed vinegar and sugar. While hot,
put tho currants In and allow them to
cook gently for abou ten minutes. Then
put all into a stone Jar, cover It and put
anlde to cool. . The next day drnln nil the
liquor from the currants, heat It, and
pour It (boiling hot) over the fruit again.
Always do this for six consecutive days,
boiling down the liquor the last time till
there Is Just enough to cover the fruit. It
Is very rich and nlco.
. '
Apple Dessert. An elegant way to use
apples for a dinner dessert or a luncheon
Is to remove the cores, steam them until.
tonder, and then fill the hollow left by
taking out the core with candled fruit.
Select apples that are large and tart nnd
have red skins. For the Ailing In eight
apples Mrs. Itorer uses four ounces of
candled cherries and two of candled pine
apples. Chop the fruits and simmer In s,
half cupful of sugar and a cupful of water.
Arrange the apple when cooked on an Ice
cream dish or a chop plate; nil the centers
heapdng full of the fruit, drain It free
from the syrup. Boll the syrup until
thick as honey, flavor with vanilla or
good sherry, and baste the apples with It.
Serve cold with whipped cream heaped
around the apples Just before serving.

HEALTH HINTS:
Treatment for Ivy Poisoning. Bathe the
part with Castile soap and lukewarm
water, then dab on several times dally a
muxture of the fluid extract of grlndelta
robusta in the proportion of half an
ounce to one pint of water.
For the immedlto treatment of a recent
sprain pressure Is of paramount Impor
tance. This should be applied as follows:
The Joint say the ankle, for Instance Is
placed at a right angle (or, if possible, at
less than a right angle) with the leg, then
cotton-wool or ordinary cotton batting Is
applied evenly over the foot from the toes
upward to ths middle of the leg. The
amount of wool must be considerable;
loosely applied. It should bo fully three
Inches In depth. Over this Is applied the
bandage from thei toes upward, which Is
drawn as tight as possible. There Is no
danger of making too much pressure, pro
vided there la sulllclent cotton-wool. This
usually alleviates pain Immediately by
affording pressure to tho blood vessels
and keeping the part at rest. The band-
ago and wool ar removed at the end of a
few days, a week at the longest, and care
fully Instituted passive movement Is em
ployed; then the dressing Is reapplied to
prevent further effusion. In ten to four
teen days eol ton-wool may bo dispensed
with and the support of un ordinary flan
nel roller substituted. The patient is uble
to use the Injured Joint after about three
weeks In the majority of severe sprains.
In sprains of slight severity massage may
be begun at once with excellent results,
and In old sprains massugu Is by fur tho
most appropriate treatment and Indispens
able In order to effect a cure. Heat nnd
cold are the best temporary methods .f
relieving congestion, and do no harm If
not employed too long.
The origin of specllic fevers ts frepuently
a mystery. It appears that thoso vast
emporln, dubbed mugiiains do nouveautes,
which enjoy an ever-Increasing popular
ity, may constitute dangerous foci of
zymotlo Infection, and that the source cf
this may bo traced to tho far east. Thi're
are, In fact, good grounds for suspicion
against tho picturesquely gaudy carpets
manufactured by the natives which are
nowadays so extensively purchased. Could
the buyers visit the unventlluted dens in
which the articles are woven by Individ
uals, whose notions of hygleno are of the
crudest, they would hesitate before admit
ting them into their houses.
Feed th? eliuby at regular hours, every
three hours, and only once during tho
night. Irregular feeding will make a bnhy
look HI, as well as become ill; the child
will thrive If tho mother glveB strict at
tention to tho feeding. Give It a bath ev
ery day of Its life; tho temperature of tho
bath water can ba tested by dipping your
own bared elbow into the water. What
ever Is grateful warmth to your elbow
will be neither too warm nor too cool for
the baby. After buthlng him dry the skin
and rub him all over his body very gently
with sweet oil. The oil is fattening and
prevents catching cold. Let him have his
own bed a crib, cot or cradb. He must
have all of his duy clothing removed at
night and put on underclothes and a night
gown especially kept for Ji'.ght wear.
One Remedy for Dyspepsia. Take ono
teaspoonful of the phosphate of sodium
in a teacupful of balling water before
every meal or ono hour after meals, which
ever is the more agreeable. Take a table
spoonful of pepto-mangan In half a glass
of milk or water between meals for six
woeks. Immediately after eating each
meal take ten drops of the tincture of nux
vomica In. a wlneglassful of water. Take
for six weeks. Sponge the body from
head to foot with hot salt water every
night for three months.
Mouth dyspepsia Is coming to be a very
common disorder. It Is indeed rare to
find adult persons whose teeth are entire
ly sound. Dr. Rittcr, of Berlin, has men
tioned 037 persons of whom 4U0 were under
10 years of age. Of the entlro number
only forty-one, or a trifle more than 6 per
cent, were found to have perfectly sound
teeth. It has been demonstrated repeat
edly that a dcayed tooth Is frequently the
starting point of a pyaemlc process, nnd
It has also been shown that tubercular
and other disease germs may find en
trance to the body through cavities in d"
raying teeth. Constnnt cleansing of the
teeth is recommended.
Irrespective of the mechanical function
of the teeth, food which goes Into the
stomach Incompletely mingled with saliva
passes slowly and imperfectly through tho
process of stomach digestion. Therefore,
as a sanitary muxlm of no mean value,
teach the children to cat slowly and in
giving this Instruction by example the
teacher, as well as the pupil, may receive
a benefit,

to our patrons:
Washburn.Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pat
rons that they will this year hold to their usual custom
of inilliuR STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, ana
owing to the excessively dry weather many millers are
of the opinion that it Ls already cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will tako
no risks, and Mill allow the new wheat fully threa
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling has)
placed Washburn-Crosby Co.'a flour far above other
brands.
