Drop the bag into boiling water, and boil steadily for an hour. Serve the dumplings hot with sauce. A good sauce is made by mixing butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. -Ladies Home Journal. -Vegetable Soup-For this I always buy a "ten or fifteen-cent shin" of beef, because there is so much marrow; put on to cook in cold water at nine o'clock; at half-past eleven o'clock have ready four potatoes quartered, or smaller if preferred, two onions, a double handful of cabbage chopped fine, one carrot grated, two tomatoes, and a small red pepper.

My manner of making them is easy and is also inexpensive. Take one pint of thick, sour milk in which is dis solved a small teaspoodful of soda or saleratus, a half cupful of sugar (they are good without sugar; some prefer them without); add a little salt, stir in graham flour until the mixture is quite stiff. Heat and grease your gem pans and bake in a hot oven. Sometimes I mix the graham flour with wheat flour, and find this makes a little change that is pleasant--Prairie Farmer. -Apple Butter. -This is generally made in large quantities. Boil down a kettleful of cider to two-thirds the orig inal quantity. Pare, core and slice the apples, and put in as many as the cider will just cover. Boil slowly, stirring often with a flat stick, and, when the apples are tender to breaking, take them out with a strainer. Put in a sec ond supply of fruit and repeat the oper ation. Pour all together into a large tub, cover it, and let it stand for twelve hours. Return it to the kettle and boil the fruit down, stirring all the time, till it attains the consistency of brown soft soap. Spice or flavor to taste; keep it in stone jars in a dry cool place. It should last good right into the spring. -Liverpool Mercury. THE WEDDING CAKE. A. English WVomsn Tells Slow to Make Oine of tile Genulne Kind.L "You're wedding cakes," says an English woman visiting here, "scem to me very poor and plain. Ours are a real sweet, you know. They are made of three separate cakes of graduated sizes,the first and largest often being as large around-well, as the front wheel of a baby's perambulator. Each cake is composed, first of the fruit cake, which is a solid baked mass of rich fruits quite six inches deep; over this is a deep layer of about three inches of rich almond paste, and quite on the top is two inches more of rich icing. The three cakes are exactly the same except in size around. They are placed one on top of the other in pyramid shape, with more icing and sugar orna ments, cupids, flowers, and leaves car ried in graceful design from top to base. At the wedding breakfast the bride puts the knife into the top layer, which is then carried to one side and sawed into pieces by the servant, for it will be hard. This is handed about among the guests; tte second tier is left with the bride's mother, and the bottom cake is sent untouched to the bride's home. The fruit cake is often nmade as much as three months before hand, which gives its richness time to permeate the loaf thoroughly. The almond paste is to me the most de licious part of the cake, and this you do not have at alL"-St. Louis Republic. Future Vegeance. "You'll be sorry for this some day!" howled the son and heir as his father released him from the position he had occupied across the paternal knee. "I'll be sorry? When?" "When I get to be a man?"

IN THE EL.Q RIOAL WORLD. -The sparks which in cold weather By from the fingers when a metallic ob jeet is touched are due to the electricity produced by the friction between the soles of the shoes and the carpet. The electricity is not formed in tie body at all and has nothing to do with the vital processes. -The students at Harvard university have reorganized the Harvard electric club. Prominent electricians will ad dress the club and members will read papers before it. The club is not to be a purely social organization, but its ob ject is to promote knowledge of elec tricity and kindred subjects. -A great sensation has been caused in Jerusalem by the introduction of the electric light into a new and flourish ing flouring-mill lately started close to the Damascus CGate. The Arabs and Jews are much puzzled to account for a light in a lamp in which there is no oil, and gaze upon it with wonder. -The experiment of electrically lighting omnibuses in London has proved so generally satisfactory that all the vehicles of the two leading com panies are to be so lighted. Two lamps are used in each omnibus, the power being supplied from a storage battery. Portable electric lamps for the use of the ticket in spectors are also in success ful use. -Incandescent lamps of a special character are now being made for elec tric railway lighting. These lamps are designed so as not to break by vibra tion. In the single loop form the fila ment is anchored to the point of the lamp, while in the spiral form the fila ment is made in three close spirals mounted on a long, heavy glass center, giving great steadiness of flament -A new scheme of signaling for war purposes, by flashing Morse signals from incandescent lamps inclosed in a balloon made of translucent material, was exhibited to military experts in London last week by the inventor, Eric 8 Bruce. Incandescent lamps, it was shown, could be used in the hydrogen contents of a balloon with perfect safety. The chief point claimed for the device is that it secures an elevation be yond the capacity of other means. -Gen. T. T.
