Stalk Bread. There aro many
wars to utilize stale) bread. It makes
delicioua jriJJle caK9 wueu soaked la

water enough to rover thein should be
sufficient, when the milk and flour are
added, to make two quarts of batter.
Some prefer to put In one egj, while
others like the cakes without. When
the bread la soaked soft, make it One
with a spoon, add the milk and suffi
cient flour to stiffen it, so that the cakes
can be easily turned. If sour milk la
used, add to the batter one even tea
spoonful of soda. French toast, always
a lavorlte dish with children, can be
made of thin slices cut from a stale
loaf . and moistened In milk and egas
two eggs to a pint of milk and then
fried on a griddle with a mixture of
butter and lard, or butter and beef
dripping. It may be eaten with sugar
or syrup, like griddle cakes.

gravy over it, and is a good substitute
for potatoes. The little dry, hard pieces
and crusts which always accumulate
can be put In a pie tin in an oven that
is just hot enough to dry them. Make
them a light brown, then roll them fine
and put away to use in making cro
quettes, frying fish, etc. Even these
slightly browned crumbs make excel
lent griddle cakes with the addition of
one egg and a handful of flour and milk
to the batter. Stale bread may also be
utilized in making a custard pudding.
Chicken- Citlets. If you want
an excellent, good and sightly dish,
just try these chicken cutlets:
Chop the white meat of a four pound
(boiled) chicken, rather flne. l'ut a half
pint of cream cm to heat. In a double
boiler, ltub together one large table
spoonful of butter and two rounding
ones of flour. When smooth, stl- it
into the cream, and stir and cook Mil
it forms a thick paste, add the unbeaten
yolks of two vigs, cook one minute
longer. Take from the Dre, add the
chicken, twelve mushrooms and hix
trullles, chopped line, a quarter of a
nutmeg, grated, tea drops of onion
juice, a tablespoonf ul of chopped pa's
ley, a dbh of cayenne and a palatable
seasoning of salt. Mix all well together
and turn out to cool. When cold.fotm

or a 1'rench chop, dip first in egg, am
then In bread crumbs, and fry in sinok
ing hot fat. Serve with cream sauce.
Tnis dessert of tapioca is delicate
aud easily made. Take one quarter of
a pound of small grain tapioca, pick it
over carefully aud wash it. Add to it
a quart of boiling milk aud two salt
spoonfuls of salt, boil slowly un hour
and a half, Stirling frequently, 'rVbrn
done, allow it to cool a little. Thor
oughly beat Cve egs, adding to them
three ounces of sugar, an ounce of but

the tapioca, let the. whole "onie to a
boiling point p"r iuio cups or a mold
ad serve hot or Ice cold, as may be
preferred.

that no one would thick of insulting

slices of cold veal with about quarter
the quantity of cold boiled or baked
ham, season with pepper, grated nut

butter. Add also a l" n.ch roll that
has been soaked In tliic. sweet cream,
and a little giated lemon peel, l'ut all
these into a pan over the lire, and stir
until heated through, add a well beaten
egg, press the mixture into a hot but

oven to brown. Turn out upsldedown

rursERViNO Butter. A Colifor
nia farmer writes: I have learned by
long experience about making what I
call good butter and prf serving it nice
and sweet after it U mile. To keep
butter good that Is made in the fall is
one thing, but to keep that good that
is made in the summer is quite another
Our bet and richest butter is made in
May, June and July, when the cows
milk strong. The lt of butter may
easily be kept good till the April of the
following year, and here Is the way to
do It: First, it must be good butter
when made. All the buttermilk mus t
be worked out. My practice for years
has been to thoroughly wash the butter
before it is taken out of the churn, and
I am confident that the plan is a good
one. Salt to suit the taste of those
who are to eat: half an ounce of salt
to a pound ot butter is about right. Keep
out all your saltpetre, sugar or other
ingredients- It will keep better with
out them, and, perhaps, too, without
salt, but would not be palatable. Do
up the butter each week, on churning,
in neat, round rolls of two or three
pounds each, just what you have to put
down; cover each roll with a clean
muslin cloth, large enough to go round
it twice or more, that it will be com
pletely enveloped, and sink It in a
strong brine, as strong as the best salt,
will make it. Stone vessels are the
nest. When the rolls are in they may
Iw kept down by means of clean, flat
stones. When the vessel Is full enough
and the butter completely covered with
the brine, add more salt to insure the
strength of the brine. Keep it in your
cellar or in vour soring-house, and see
if it ia no. mn - w.nter and spring
100 per cent, more than any winter
made butter. In this way I have kept
my winter Bupply of butter for many
years, and have never yet failed. But
mark, the butter must be good, well
worked, and should, by all means, be
wrapped up aud sunk under the brine
the same day it is churned, not kept
lying about for two or three days after
churning.

Electricity for 1 tZ.oic Jerer, A Ken
tucky physician suggests the following
cure for yellow fever, claiming that the
poison in the air is so delicate and
subtle that it can be dissipated by
strong light; "ir this la a fact," says
the doctor in a communication to Sur
geon General Hamilton, "I am of the
opinion that if a row of large army
tents were spread along the centre of
some street in Jacksonville for the In
habitants to take refuge In, after hav
ing been thoroughly disinfected, with a
sufficient number of electric lights ar
ranged near the ground on either side
of them (the wires, of course, being
well grounded), that the lights could be
made so intense as to repress the poison
ana stay tn aestxoyer."
One fine morning the younger woman

aud she stopped and listened. She
grew so much interoted that she be

A new method of measuring a current
of electricity has been di vised by Fro
fessor George Forbes, which is ex
tremely simple in principle, and can
not fail to be an important addition to
the list of modern electrical inven
tions. The action or the meter de
pends upon the heating power of the
electric current. Before passing into
the lamp or motor the whole or part of
the current passes through a flat, hori
zontal coil of wire, above which is sus
pended a little wheel provided with
inclined VHnes like a miniature wind
mill. As the coil becomes heated by
the current the hot air rises and sets
the wheel in motion, and the number
of revolutions, which are proportional
to the amount of electricity used, are
registered by gear-wheels connected
with it, the same as iu an ordinary gas
meter. Variations In the strength of
the current heat the colls more or less
and cause the registering-wheel to turn
faster or slower. Unlike all other
meters, it is adapted to measuring al
ternating currents of electricity, in
which the direction is reversed many
times a second, as well as the currents
which flow continuously In the same
direction.
Civilizing o somctrftaf noisy creature.
Berlin engineers have adopted two
different systems for diminishing the
noise of trains on tbelr viaducts. One
is, to bolt to the bridge structure long
troughs of eheet-ironj about sixteen
inches wide, so arranged that a rail will
come in the centre of each. The
troughs are then rilled with gravel, in
the middle of which is buried the long
itudinal timber carrying the rail; and
the space between the troughs is cov
ered with iron plates, on which is
spread a thin layer of gravel. The
second method, which Is round to be
more efficient than the other, consists
in placing a continuous series of
shallow iron troughs, about 5 feet
square, along the line of tracks. These
are filled with gravel, on which the
ties and rails are laid.
