Appl rnrtilln.
An easily made pudding that linn
rervcd on old housekeeper on many
emrrRency occnRlons Is prepared by
tnnklng a mixture of one. cupful of
flour, one cupful of ntmar, one cupful
of milk, a halt cupful of butter anil
three eggs, and adding to It three
chopped apple and three-qnnrters of
a cupful of chopped rnlnlns. This
should be baked in a moderate oven
about half an hour. Serve with hard
sauce.
AapnrnRtia onp.
Boll tho stalks of two bunches of
Bnparagus until they are tender, sav
ing the tips for a salad. Drain and
rub them through, a sieve. To tho wa
ter In which the asparagus was boiled
add one quart of milk and the aspara
gus. Cook two tablespoonfula of butter
and one tablespoonful of llourforthree
minutes, without browning. Add the
soup slowly and rub until smooth.
Have ready In the boup tureen one
half cupful of cream and the beaten
yolk of one egg, and pour the boiling
soup over them, stirring until thor
oughly mixed.
A laart for CMlcWn.
Stewed dntes, served wltn or without
cream, make a delicious dessert and are
always hailed with delight by the chil
dren. Wash a pound of new dates
thoroughly and remove the stones. Put
them Into a stewpan, cover them with
two cupfuls of cold water nnd let them
boil 10 minutes. Add to them the
juice of one lemon and half a cupful
of sugar and boil Ave minutes longer.
Strain the fruit from the syrup and
boll the latter alono for 10 minutes.
Put the dntes Into a pudding dish nnd
turn the syrup over them. One-half
cupful of finely chopped almonds, Eng
lish walnuts or pecan nuts may be
added to the syrup.
Cuban 'ifl.
No hard and faBt rules can be given
for preparing the delightful drink
known as Cuban coffee. but
the following porportlons will
probably . prove satisfactory for
a teacupful of pulverized coffee In a
flannel bag, suspend over a porcelain
dish and pour a little cold water over
at Intervals until the mass is saturat
ed. The first drippings are poured
again over the bag and more water
added until tjie dripped liquid Is th(ck
and black. Use In all about two cup
fuls of water, allowing tho process of
pouring the drippings over the bag to
be repeated at intervals all day. To
serve, fill a cup nearly full with scald
ed milk and add a teaspoonful of the
black coffee extract.
Row to Cook Vegatablaa.
Vegetables such as onions, cabbage,
cauliflower and turnips may be made
more delicate and wholesome by al
lowing their odors to escape with the
steam while they are boiling. There
will also be less odor observable about
the house It this Is done than If the
flavors are allowed to concentrate In
tightly closed vessels. While doubt
less a certain amount of nutriments
are lost by this means, the vegetables
by being rendered more palatable be
come more digestible.
The same Is true of boiled meats,
and the lid of the kettle should be left
partly oft while they are cooking; ota
erwise there will be a strong, unpala
tihle flavor. All green vegetables
should be boiled in an uncovered ves
sel. Some housekeepers claim that a
dish of steaming vinegar on the range
will prevent cooking odors from per
meating the house.
HoBuhotd Hint.
Mirrors, It at all well framed and
well placed, are usually a good addi
tion. Pots and pans that have been burned
should be set to boll with cold water
and a lump of soda.
Flannels and other all-wool textures
should be both washed and rinsed In
waters of even temperature.
After washing fine lace pull it into
shape and dry it on a sheet of glass;
it will be ready for use without iron
ing. When the smoke bells are suspended
over the gas burners to shield the
ceiling, it is better to have them come
as low as possible, but not closer than
12 or 15 Inches to the flame.
Do' not put pans and kettles partly
filled with water on the stove to soak,
a it only makes them more difficult
to clean. Fill thom with cold water
and soak away from the heat
Moulds in which blanc-mangea
are to be put should be wet to Insure
their easy turning out; on the other
band, in those to be used for Jelly no
water should go, as It will crack the
jelly.
Parsley can be kept for winter use
1' i soups and sauces by plunging fresh
I unches of it into slightly salted boil
ing water and boiling for three mln
fctes. J At the end of that time it
cYiouM be removed and dried quickly
a Vaythe fire.

Indication! Point to a Lively Spring Trade.
The Wheat and Corn Movement
Very Encouraging.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s "Weekly Review
of Trade" says: The position of gen
eral business is satisfactory, being mark
ed this week by increased activity ol
retail operations throughout the West
and in some Atlantic seaboard citi-is,
which is considered the forerunner of a
generally good spring trade. New en
terprise is reflected in the largest de;
mand for many months for builders'
hardware and general materials, and
contracts for- prompt delivery of a'l
structural goods arc very difficult to
place. Collections arc prompt, and rail
road tonnage is well maintained. Earn
ings of all railroads for March to d.nc
show a gain of 10.8 per cent, over last
year and 36 per cent, over 1899. The
gains extend to practically the whole
country. The textile industry alone
does not improve. Quotations of pig
iron and finished steel tend toward a
higher level. There is still the whole
some clement of conservatism, which
prevents violent fluctuations and keeps
the uuvaj.ee at a moderate rate, but tit
tendency of the market is undeniably
toward better things. The most con
spicuous strength is apparent in Besse
mer pig, which now commands $17 at
l'ittslurg, while steel billets have sold
at $24, and high carbon billets reached
$.10. Steel bars are $1 per ton higher,
and structural shapes are firm
ly maintained with every ex
pectation of un advance. While
these quotations show moderate
gains, much higher rates are paid for
immediate delivery and in small
amounts. A short time ago it was ex
pected that new ore prices would be
much lower, but the remarkable strength
of products will tend to sustain values
of the raw material. New high records
are constantly established for coke out
put in the Conncllsville region ond
prices are firm. Failures for the week
numbered 224 in the United States,
against 183 last year, and 33 in Canada,
against 27 last year.
Bradstrert's says of grain: Wheat,
including flour, shipments for the week
aggregate 3.256,644 bushels, against 4.
693.039 bushels last week, 2.903,495
bushels in the corresponding week ol
1900, 3,746,761 bushels in 1809 and 3.
896,318 bushels in 1898. From July 1
to date wheat exports are 146.628,100
bushels, against 144,220.301 bushels la-l
season and 180.975.502 bushels in l8yM
09. Corn exports (or the week aggre
gate 2,605,084 bushels, against 3,246 570
last week, 3,123.818 bushels in this week
a year ago, 3.699,629 bushels in 1899 snd
4.490,257 bushels in 1K9H. from July
1 to date corn exports are 141,005.219
bushels, against 152.657.077 bushels last
season and 125,153,576 bushels in 189S-00-

TO BE HEEDED NOW.
In the Spring You Are
Always Run Down.
This Will Tell"YoiiJust What To
Do For Yourself.
And Just Why Ton Should Follow
Exactly Thia Plan.
In tho nprtng everybody need to
think about taking a Pining medicine.
Not only in this a common practice,
but a very necessary and healthful
one. It la a fact which physicians
acknowledge and the people recognize
gennrnlly, that a uprlng tonic taken
during the months of March. April
nnd May Is more conducive to the res
toration of ht-nlth. In eass of those
who arc sick, tlmn any other course
of treatment that could possibly be
adopted.
In the spring there are a great
many and Important changes going on
In the body, perfect health cannot
be maintained while the system Is
clogged and the organs sluggish, and
the person has n languid and weak
ened feeling, with more or less ner
vousness and debility. Therefore
everybody should take a good spring
remedy.
The best spring medicine. Indorsed
and recommended by physicians,
druggists and the people. Is Dr.
Greene's Nervura blond and nerve
remedy. In proof of this, thousands
Mrs. Etta Sumner,
of trrtlmonlnls are being constantly
published In tho papers. The follow
ing Is from Mrs. Etta Sumner of
Qoodnlls, Mich.
"1 have been afflicted." she says,
"with nervous debility for a year. My
nerves were completely prostrated,
and I suffered at the slightest excite
ment, with great headache. At times
I was entirely overcomo by this dis
ease. I would stay In the house alone,
and dread the sight of my own people.
My entire nervous systnm was shat
tered, and my life was a worrtment
and burden to me. I was advised to
try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy, and while on the first
bottle began to reoover. My friends
were vory much surprised.
"Before I had finished the second
bottlo, I could sleep with a quiet
mind, and eat with ready and refresh
ing appetite. I bava taken three bot
tles and am entirely cured of all my
sufferings. I cannot sneak half high
ly enough of it. I cheerfully and earn
estly recommend It to every one
nitlieted with disease. What gives
people absolute confidence In it. Is Its
being the discovery of one of our best
known and most successful physi
cians. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy Is. Indeed, the greatest
of all spring medicines, for It makes
tho sick well and strons.
Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14th St., New
York City, has the largest practice In
the world, and this grand medlco-1 dis
covers Is the reetilt of his vast ex
perience. The great reputation of Dr.
Greene Is a guarantee that his medi
cine will cure, and the fact that he
can be consulted by anyone, at any
time free of charge, personally or by
letter, gives absolute assurance of
cure to all.
