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.. ?

' 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

*...- 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.

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.
HKV&- Store our 2,000,000,000 bushels of
com in flour barrels, and set them tof&ii-:

For the past seven years the annual
Bglfe';' corn crop of the United States has exceeded
1,500,000,000 bushels, with the
exception of 1881, when it was esti
matea at 1,200,000,090. Last year's

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

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

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. All of which nobody
will pay any attention to.
