In connection with the bar is the 
cafetira, which is a lunch counter, where¬ 
from the customer helps himself. The 
bill of fare consists of roast beef, roast 
pork, pork and beans, baked whitefish, 
codfish cakes, frankfurter sausages and 
beef sandwiches. A plate of any one 
costs 10 cents. For 15 cents, one may 
have chicken or lobster salad. The cus¬ 
tomer helps himself to these, and the 
necessary knife, fork, spoon, condiments, 
bread and butter. With this lunch, the 
customer obtains free any one of a long 
list of temperance drinks, the chief of 
which is “ bishop’s beer.” This pet in¬ 
vention of Bishop Fallows has all the 
appearance and nearly the taste of lager, 
but it does not contain a drop of alcohol. 
One of the most responsible firms of Chi¬ 
cago manufactures it under contract, 
guaranteeing its purity in every particu¬ 
lar. It contains the best elements of 
malt and hops. 
It is estimated that 800 people daily 
patronize this “Ilome Salon.” One strong 
evidence of its value is that the liquor 
interest has done its best to injure the 
movement. But the salon is prosperous, 
and others will be opened soon which 
can be made to pay a handsome divi¬ 
dend on the capital invested. 
PATTERNS FOR R. N.-Y. READERS. 
Write the order for patterns separate 
from other matter, give bust measure 
and pattern number, and inclose 10 cents. 
Each pattern is complete with instruc¬ 
tions for cutting the garment and put¬ 
ting together. 
Misses’ Jacket. 
This jacket is made of material to 
match the dress, being a very appro¬ 
priate, becoming and economical style 
for school or general wear. The jacket 
is single breasted, closing with fancy 
bone buttons in the center front, the 
lower edges being prettily rounded and 
falling in ripples below the waist line. 
Full-topped sleeves are gathered at the 
top, and neatly outline the arm below 
the elbow, being finished at the wrists 
with cuff facings, which may be omitted 
if preferred. Machine stitching finishes 
the edges, all of which, with the seams, 
must be pressed with a hot iron to get 
the best results. The pressing must be 
done on the wrong side, laying a damp 
cloth between the iron and the material, 
all being finished before the sleeves are 
inserted. Pattern No. 6532 is cut in 
four sizes, for girls 10,12,14 and 16 years 
of age. 
TO PREPARE RENNET. 
HOUGH I am not one of the grand¬ 
mothers, I can tell the young 
housekeepers how mother prepares ren¬ 
net for junket. Ask your butcher for 
the stomach of a veal calf, getting it as 
soon as possible after the veal is killed. 
Have it laid in salt water if you cannot 
get it at once, but do not wash it. Fill 
it as full of common salt as you can, 
being very careful to have every little

crease and pleat well filled, both inside 
and outside, with the salt. Roll in a 
cloth, and hang behind the stove so that 
it will dry thoroughly. 
When desired for use cut off a bit, 
about two inches square, leaving in the 
salt, pxit into a third of a teacup of cold 
water for about two hours. Heat the 
milk to about 75 degrees, stir in a little 
sugar, any flavor you choose, and the 
water from the rennet, and then set in a 
cool place to thicken, being very cax - eful 
not to stir it when it begins to thicken. 
This amount of rennet is for a quart of 
milk. If the rennet be covered with salt 
each time the water is poured off, it may 
be used two or three times. We use 
much of it during the summer, thinking 
it almost equal to ice cream. grace. 
CRUMBS FROM DIFFERENT TABLES. 
My heart is awed within me when I think 
Of the great miracle that still goes on 
In silence ’round me—the perpetual work 
Of Thy creation, finished, yet renewed 
Forever. Written on Thy works I read 
The lesson of Thy own eternities. 
— Anonymous. 
... .The Outlook : “ She who attempts 
to prove woman’s equality with man by 
the claim that woman can do everything 
that man can do, by the very nature of 
her claim assumes his superiority, since 
she makes him the standard.” 
-F. C. Igleiiart, D. D., in North 
American Review : “The liquor dealers 
are anxious that the poor man shall have 
some beer with his dinner on Sunday. 
The anxiety of the poor man’s family is 
to have some dinner with their beer.” 
-Thomas L. Gulick in the Evangel¬ 
ist : “ Some one once asked President 
Lincoln to appoint a day of fasting and 
prayer that God might be on their side. 
‘ Don’t bother about that,’ said he, 1 God 
is now on the right side ; you simply get 
with Him.’” 
... .Richard Le Gallienne in the Cos¬ 
mopolitan : “ After all its talk, science 
has done little more than to correct the 
misprints of religion. Essentially, the 
old spiritualistic and poetic theories of 
life are seen, not merely weakly to sat¬ 
isfy the cravings of man’s nature, but to 
be mostly in harmony with certain 
strange and moving facts in his constitu¬ 
tion, which the materialists unscien¬ 
tifically ignore.” 
ODDS AND ENDS. 
Good Books. —It has been well and 
truly said that a man is known by the 
company he keeps. Is it not equally 
true that one’s character may be ascer¬ 
tained by knowing what books he reads? 
Reading is the result of choice, and he 
who chooses the inferior class of books, 
gradually becomes inferior in mind ; he 
unconsciously shapes his life by the 
books he reads. If one read some poem 
or the life of some good man, his ambi¬ 
tions rise, he has higher aims, and sees 
life aright ; but let him read some flashy 
novel that misrepresents life, as some 
extravagant thing, and what a different 
result ! Life is not all excitement; men 
are neither all heroes nor villains, and 
young people should not read books 
which so represent things. f. a. h. 
Care of the Teeth. —Most people do 
not realize the importance of taking 
proper care of the teeth, at least they do 
not realize it until it is too late to repair 
the neglect, says the New York Ledger. 
One of the very best articles for the 
toilet table, if very carefully and intelli¬ 
gently used, is diluted sulphurous acid. 
It should be prepared in the proportion 
of about 10 drops of acid to two-thirds 
of a tumblerful of water. When one 
awakens in the morning with a horrible 
taste in the mouth, and a feeling of dull¬ 
ness and general discomfort, a thorough 
rinsing of the mouth and throat with 
this preparation is of the greatest value. 
If a few drops are swallowed, it docs not 
harm ; but, of all things, make a com¬ 
plete cleansing of the mouth, teeth and 
throat in all the corners and crevices. 
It removes the adhesive secretions, which 
will sometimes come away in great 
sheets. Immediately afterward brush 
the teeth with Castile soap in abund¬ 
ance. This corrects any acidity that 
may remain about the roots of the teeth, 
and puts the mouth in fine condition for 
breakfast. Few people seem to realize 
that this unpleasant state of the mouth 
is something that should be removed 
and not allowed to go into the stomach. 
An enormous amount of dyspepsia and 
distressing ferments in the digestive 
apparatus is chargeable directly to food 
that lodges between the teeth, and 
decays, generating all sorts of evil con¬ 
ditions. 
There are people in the world who, if 
they waken in the night with that dis¬ 
agreeable sensation of stuffiness, resort 
to the tooth brush and antiseptics, fol¬ 
lowed by a washing out with Castile 
soap and a rubbing with chalk, and re¬ 
tire, serene in the consciousness that 
they have probably removed some mill¬ 
ions of bacteria from their mouths that 
otherwise would have found their way 
to the digestive apparatus, to produce 
untold miseries and discomforts.
