Delicious toast; pare the crust from slices 
of stale bread, and toast it quickly. As 
each is done scrape off every suspicion of 
burn or scorch, and put tnem in a dish that 
will bear heat without injury. Pour over 
them a quart of milk, partly cream, if prac- 
ticable, in which has been melted a table- 
spoonful of salt. Set the dish in a dripping 
pan of hot water and put in the oven. Bake 
covered for half an hour, then uncover and 
brown slightly. Should the milk all be ab- 
sorbed add more, boiling hot. Toast thus 
prepared has a rich creamy flavor which the 
ordinary “dip toast” never acquires. 
A pretty little item of comfort for an in- 
valid, or any one of sedentary occupation is 
an elbow cushion made to slip under the 
arm where it rests on the chair. It is mel- 
on-shaped and may be made of pieces < f 
silk or ribbon of contrasting colors, either 
straight and drawn at each end in a ruffle, 
or shaped to fit the lining, and finished with 
loops to pick it up by. It is more comfort- 
able and keeps its place better if not stuffed 
very tightly. 
Thought and Thrift Is the book for all who want to 
help change the present great drift of wealth from the 
hands of the few to those of the many, and the produc- 
ers of It. They all should read It at once. 
WEBSTER’S 
U NABRID GED 
ANCI ENT EDIT ION. 
A so-called “Webster’s Unabridged 
Dictionary” is being offered to the public 
at a very low price. The body of the book, 
from A to Z, is a cheap reprint, page for 
page, of the edition of 1847, which was in 
its day, a valuable book, but in the pro- 
gress of language for over FORTY YEARS, 
has been completely superseded. It is 
now reproduced, broken type, errors and 
all, by photo- lithograph process, is printed 
on cheap paper and flimsily bound. A 
brief comparison, pago by page, between 
the reprint and the latest and enlarged 
edition, will show the great superiority 
of the latter. These reprints are as out 
of date as a last year’s almanac. No hon- 
orable dealer will allow the buyer of such 
to suppose that he is getting the Webster 
which to-day is accepted as the Standard 
and THE BEST,— every copy of which 
bears onr imprint as given below. 
I®- If persons who have been induced to 
purchase the “ Ancient Edition ” by any 
misrepresentations will advise ns of the 
facts, we will undertake to see that the 
seller is punished as he deserves.
