THE HOME AND HOUSEHOLD] Practical Hints for Plain Peoplo WIio Live Wltbin Hmall Income*. I' ' . There are two ways of making hot breakfast brer.ds. Though npt considered especially wholesome, yet when well made and well boked they will be, and their possible unhealthiness will be ignored, as the day's labors make all forgotten, save their substantial and sustaining qualities. Dyspeptics only object to hot breads. With a limited amount of meat perhaps, the inexpensive hot roll or muilin, cheaper made than bought, makes an ample breakfast, relishes with coffee and is ery .easily made. To have a good brisk fire is a most importunt consideration. Many a wellmade dish is spoiled in baking or by x slow baking, while with a good, solid fire, the housewife can override many , , an annoyance in the kitchen and the cooking, and bring out viands that will be delightful and satisfactory. There ft is more real economy in keeping up a generous fire while baking than in th owinfr away the results of too limited an allowance of coal. Real economy is what we arc trying to learn. Every good housewife of experience kuows that \\hen breakfast is over the drafts of the stove or range should all be closed, and very little coal will be burned out till time for cooking the -li 1 1. A J.. ? ^ villiuui f uuiuan utuui ?uiiv uuuiuiiui> u ' good tire. All these minor points borne in mind help to save the small drains upon our Income. The wife and mother who loves her home, and is devoted to its welfare, takes an interest in all the improvements on the old way of domestic management, of buying, of cooking, and of everything that makes easier the daily routine of the work that must be doneof the "woman's work that is never done." The attention civcn to this department of a solid education is developing and increasing day dv day, and many an inexperienced houswife and many a matron, too, turns at once to the domestic columns of our papers and periodicals to see what helpful ideas she can gain, what^she can learn that is new, that will give variety to her table, help her to economize, aid her in the care of her home, or assist her itl beautifying it. A* plain breakfast may be made of lamb or veal chops or rolls. It is cheaper to make the rolls than to buy them, for we must have the necessary fire to cook our meat. For light rolls take one quart of flour (cost five cents), one spoonful of clean beef drippings (cost two cents), one teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls baking powder (.ost two cents). With the hands rub all these ingredients smoothly together, then with a^ spoon mix up with milk i; , (cost two cents) to a consistency to roll out, as soft as well can be handled, and handle as little and lightly as possible. Roll to about one inch in thickness, cut ?.<> out with a tumbler, lay on a bit of butter and fold over once, evenly. Bake in a quick oven about half an hour. Total v , cost, eleven cents; making plenty for v two people for several meals. These rolls are good hot, cold, or steamed. The same rule will make light biscuits ^ vttiug vuiv/ixui ttuu OUtl/111^ All [J1U1U *...- round form. Lamb chops are 12 cents a pound at ; the market. Broil them ever bright ?V .; coals on a wire gridiron; turn them often to keep in the juice and prevent scorching. Close watching is necessary to ;fv good broiling, but little-time is required. (v.; If the blaze from the dripping fat is troublesome, throw a little salt upon the coals. Veal chopi'. "Frenched," are alsq^ IS cents a pound, but these must b& fried, as they are too dry a meat to broil well. Well fried meats are never "greasy." Buy one pound o>f clear beef suet (cost 10 cents), cut up small, and simpler fill all the fat is extracted. This gives enough "dripping" to fry in several times. Put a spoonful of this into a fry-pan, and, when hot, put in the veal chops rolled in fine bread crumbs, if liked, and sprinkle with salt and a pinch of pepper. Cook moderately fast, well through, browing on both aides, and remove to a hot platter. Make a brown gravy by burning the liquid left in the frying pan a little, add a small cup of 4.n:i:n 1? . wiiuin naici, VIUU&CU Willi a spooniui of flour, blended witna little cold water. Stir well, boil one moment and pour over the chops. The gravy should be smooth, dark, rich in color, and well seasoned. This, or any other meat fried, is made poor and unpalatable by being put into the fat before it is hot. It draws out the juices and leaves the meat insipid and tasteless, while hot. fi closes at once the surface of the meat, confines and cooks the juices, and retains their flavor and nourishment. KATHKKINIS A-RM8TRONQ. ? A Lot of Corn. |: r ' This year's crop ot corn is estimated at nearly two thousand million buslicls. If this estimate is approximately correct, the crop is the largest ever growu; 4 but we fail to get much of an idea of the quantity from the figures alone. How much is it? A million is a uum?7 ber that is sdihewhat difficult to comprehend; but this is two thousan * times a million. The population of the United & States is now about 55,000,000: the &. /' corn crop is therefore about thirty-six , bushels to each inhabitant, or one hunpf,;.. dred and eighty bushels to ea<?h family pij';',- of five persons. $? ', At fifty ccnts a bushel the crop is worth $1,000,0Q0,000.

PHANTOM SHIFS AT SEA. Some Stories that Hapcrstltlous Sailors Tell?A Oylng Captain's Vision. Thcro is nothing a geuuino sailor more lirmly believes in than haunted ships. .Every sailor who has been long at sea has a story to tell of ships that ho has been in when ghostly ana unnatural things took place. An English bark recently came into Pernarabuco and was immediately deserted by her entire crew. They declared that on the previous voyage, while a portion of tho erew were on the upper foretopsail yard one night handing the sail, tho hallyards were let go by the mate, and every man on tho yard shaken off into the sea. They said that every time they went on that yard at night to take in sail on the voyage out to Fcrnainbuco ghostly sailors worked alongside of them. No threats or promises of extra pay could make tho crew Rtav by the ship, and the story spreading abroad, it was a long time before tho vessel got another crew. ! There is a story told by sailors of a haunted ship which used to sail out of Liverpool. The last voyage she made as an ordinary ship with 110 ghostly accompaniment. She had a supercargo who was a violinist. lie used to take the violin and go up into the main crosstrees, where I10 would sit and play, his favorite tune beinjf "The Girl I Left Behind Ale." On the voyage the supercargo became insane, and jumped overboard. Ever after tint on stormy nights when winds and waves were high- and the ship groaned and creaked as she struggled thr ugh the waves, the sailors, floundering about on the dark and slippery decks, heard above the howling of the tempest the sound cf a violin playing "The Girl I Left Behind Me" in the main crosstrces. Not many years ago there died, in a Tiffin Pnnft Prt/-! n AAWiV V(?|/u vw?l il I Utll^U nun? V.rtp~ tain. Once when lie followod the sea he came across a sinking hark off Capo San Roque. A gale was blowing at the time and a heavy sea was running. Added to this, night was coming on, and though the poor wretches begged frequently to be taken off, the captain sailed away and left them to their fate. The memory of the dooniod crew of the sinking birk, stretching their hands out appealingly and watching his ship sail away with dispairing eyes and ghastly faces, lingered with the heartless captain all the rest of his life, and in his declining days he frequently complained that the crew of the bark were haunting him, and said that some day the vessel itself would sail into the harbor and take him away. One stormy winter afternoon the old man lay on his bed dying. Just as the ebb tide began to run he sprang up and shouted: ''Don't! don't! I'll stand by till morning. I'll take you all off!'' and fell back dead. Tlie watchers by his bcdsido said afterward that through the window which overlooked the bay they saw a bark come sailing into the harbor at that moment and then vanish before their eyes. There is a certain man-of-war In the United States Navy in which the engineer's bell is frequently rung by unseen hands. All sorts of devices have been made by the officers to ascertain the cause, but without avail.?Neu> York Tribune. " ? Snakes in her Stomach. The Reno (Nev.) Gazette says: Th2 wife of Lem Allen, a prominent citizen of Churchill county has been an invalid for a long time. Occasionally her suffering^ were great, and recently her ailments were most serious, such as to cause her friends to almost lose hope* of her surviving. While laboring under the most acute pain, accompanied with spmptomsof inflammation of the stomach and bowels, the most he oic medicines were used After a timr four snakes of the water species were taken from her. vjiic whs tjuiiu.turee ieot in icngtii, another about twenty inches, and two about eight inches. The powerful medicines used poisoned them, and evidently they remained dead in the stomach some iittle time. How they were taken into the stomach and survived is a question. For quite a while the lady seriously complained of a peculiar sensation as if something was creeping around within, little thinking there was any reality in it. Since the serpents were unwittingly poisoned she has recovered rapidly, and bids fair to soon enjoy her wonted health. Canght In the Act. A steamer reached Port Adelaide in Southern Australia lately, after a voyage of eight days from Freemantle. When its cargo was discharged* a certain box attracted the notice of the custom house officers, who openod it, and a living man stepped out. He is six feet high, an-1 the chest which was his lodging measures three feet six inches long by two feet broad and two feet one inch high. In this the tall personage had crouched for eight days. He was naturally exhausted, and his first cry was for water. The furniture of hia box proved to be miscellaneous but suggestive?a few biscuits and an enlpty "billy," a revolver and cartridges, a small saw, screwdriver, auger, chisel, mntchcs, candle, tobacco, a small bottle of oil and a crape veil. After reciting this list it is needless to add that the hero is an ex-convict. How he got into so small a box ia a mystery. Western Land.?You cannot get an 1 1 i- kt-l 1 a" uvii; v>i iuiiu in iiuui-iihku unuer 99 an acre to-day, and it is certain to increase in price. The Iio/nan Catholic Bishop says that if the wealthy Irish would form a syndicate s.nd purchase lands, even now in Nebraska or Kansas, it would be the safert and most profitable investment they could make. There is no reason, he says, why the land should not increase* in price until it reaches $75 an acre. Advice.?A man out West, writing to a Vermont paper, says: ''Young man of the East, stay East; young man of the West and all your relations, stay West* Neither of you are fitted to change places.
