" -- t completed. j J Death of a Good Woman.* Saturday at noon Feb. 17 1906, the silent messenger whose name is death i came and bore away the spirit of Miss Lilla McUurr.v, daughter of Mr. and i Mrs. Whit McCurry. Miss Lilla worked in the mill Saturday till twelve o'clock. After finish- i ing her mornings work we saw ber pass out the door on her way home i but we were ignorant of the fact that she bad completed ber toil forever. it >9 eaa to tmns ana imru iu reaimo that she is gone never to return. For several years she has been in bad ' health but she bore it all in resignation. Gentle in speech and manner, she will be greatly missed from -our number. We believe she is now with the Saviour in the home above. She leaves a father, mother, several brother's and sister's and many other relatives, and a host of friends to mourn ber loss. "She is not dead but sleepeth, " therefore, borrow not as those who have no hope. May the God of all comfort the bereaved family and strengthen them according to their great need. .Lost to us, but not to God, lost from earth but entered heaven, lost from 1 earthly sorrow and suffering, but entered into everlasting peace. " Then we may not grieve nor murmer. But rejoice that there was given First a child, then an angel, To incline our hearts to heaven.

Color Is tbe most important consider- ! atlon in deciding whether or not alleged delft is genuine?. Blue delft must not be too blue to be real. Tbe natural color of tbe ware is a pure white. Its texture Is of a hardness greatly resembling porcelain. The only thing In delft that is legitimately blue is the design or figures. These are of a deep indigo tint, tbe production of which Is one of the secrets of Holland. For more than two centuries pottersall over the world have striven to Imitate delft and-have failed. The latest attempts have been made in Bonn, Germany. "Real" delft is as different from the Bonn product as silk is f-orn satin. In tbe first place Bonn delftware is soft and not unlike majolica. A slight v'hip in tbe glaze reveals its claylike texture. Then, too, the ware itself is blue, which is au unpardonable fault The coloring of the design seems to have spread over its entire surface. Divergences in portraits and pictures are one of the distinguishing marks of real delft. It is all painted by hand. No machine ever comes in contact with It. Bonn delft is in a striking contrast. Absolute uniformity is obtained by the tmn a# nfnn nJTn nn/1 ni n/.li in a ?n n all t. use Ul oiciiUia <uiu mauuiuc Lijavic \juilines. Contrary to the belief of some collectors, there is no intrinsic merit in old delft. The kind that comes from the potteries today is quite as fine and more beautiful in design than its predecessor. Hovr to Shampoo With Floor. The flour is sifted into the hair in handfuls, the locks are divided Into sections and brushed with a soft brush until every particle of white dust hag been removed. Three or four applications of flour should be used for each shampoo, as the last brushing ought to ] show the entire absence of dirt The hair should be brushed every night with fine, flexible brushes which should be cleaned two or three times a week. Hot*- to Make Game Stew. Lay four mallard ducks cut in small pieces in salt water for five hours. Take one bunch of celery, two carrots, one onion, a small piece of garlic, five red peppers and chop very fine. Put ducks on to boll and at the same time add the vegetables and a half pound of pickled pork. Cook for one hour, then add one can tomatoes, two cans French 2 mushrooms and cook for 30 minutes t more. Then add half a teaspoonful c each of the following spices: Clnna- f mon, cloves, allspice, mace, nutmeg, . thyme, savory, three bay leaves. Stir and mix well together. Peel five pota- B toes, cut In small pieces and add when stew is nearly done. Then add one a quart of ripe olives, five tablespoonfuls Worcestershire sauce, balf bottle catch- p up. Last, thicken with a little flour. Let stew stand 30 minutes after cook- ~ lng before serving. Be careful not to put In too much of any one spice. The ] same stew can be made of any wild game, using about the same amount of meat How to Make Apple Tea. Wash and wipe a good sour apple, cut it Into small pieces and Don it in a cup of water until it is soft Then strain the water into a bowl, add a bit of sugar and serve when cold. If the apple Is of good flavor, this is a most pleasant drink and may be given to fever patients, children with measles or whenever there is much thirst How to Make Royal Roast. Select four pounds of lean beef. Brown two tablespoonfuls of drippings with two minced onions, fry the roast in this, first rubbing a teaspoonful of salt well Into it and dredging it with flour. When the meat Is brown, add enough hot water to nearly cover it. Cover the pan and simmer one hour. Then add six whole cloves and six whole peppers, one-half cupful of vine-, gar and eight crisp gingersnaps, laid on top of the meat Cover tightly and cook until tender. When done, remove the meat strain the gravy and pour over it. Serve. How to Make Lemon Brambles. One cup raisins, two lemons, three crackers, a cup of sugar and two eggs. Remove peel and seeds from lemons, C seed raisins and chop together. Roll * crackers, stir eggs, sugar and crackers 4 together and add the chopped raisins ( and lemons. Bake In crust How to Cream Spinach. Strip the spinach from the stems, wash and put Into a saucepan without water. Cover closely qnd boll for 15 minutes. Drain, pressing out all the liquid, and chop very, very fine. Return to the fire, with a teaspoonful of f butter, salt and pepper to taste and two tablespoonfuls of rich cream. Stir and toss until very hot, then beat hard for a minute before turning from the saucepan into a hot dish. Garnish with slices of hard boiled egg. Serve very hot Hoyv to Make Cauliflower Snnce.
