blade of a knife, and cut in strips about two 
and a half inches long, by two in width. 
In McLeod of Dare, William Black’s hero 
gains great praise for introducing a leaf of let¬ 
tuce into the sandwiches, which shows that 
Black knows something about Francatelli, as 
well as about salmon fishing. 
The bretby sandwich, for which we must 
thank Francatelli, is made with finely shred 
lettuce hearts, thin slices of roast or boiled 
fowl, and alternately with these latter, fillets 
of anchovies. To the seasoning I should add 
two or three capers to each sandwich. 
Chopped egg and ham sandwiches are a nice 
variety. Put the eggs for this purpose into 
water just below the boiling point, and leave 
them there for twenty minutes. Chop very 
fine, and mix with the same bulk of minced 
bam, and a teaspoonful of butter foreach egg. 
Season to taste. 
Sandwiches made with minced meat are 
very nice. If veal is used, mix it with one- 
fourth the quantity of mixed bam, and in any 
case mix with mayonnaise dressing. Made 
with chopped meat and sprinkled with dry 
mustard, instead of mayonnaise, after being 
packed for several hours in a close basket, they 
are apt to taste like particularly gravelly mus¬ 
tard plasters. 
To make sardine sandwiches, lay' the sar¬ 
dines on a piece of soft paper to absorb the oil; 
remove the skin and bones, and mince fine, 
using a silver knife. Season with lemon 
juice, Cayenne pepper and salt, and rub to a 
paste with melted butter—a tablespoonful each 
of lemon juice and butter to a medium sized 
box of sardines. Spread the bread with this 
paste. 
Game sandwiches. Cut the meat from a 
partridge or quail in small dice ; add one- 
fourth as much ham or tongue, and fouran- 
cbovifs; mix with two tablespoonfuls of white 
or Bechamel sauce, and a little curry-powder. 
This filling may be placed in small French 
rolls from which the crumb has been removed. 
One of the nicest kind of salad rolls is made 
as follows: Mince the white meat from the 
breast of a roast fowl; add six washed 
anchovies, and one-third as much ham or 
tongue as you have chicken, with three 
minced gerkins, and six stoned and minced 
olives. Moisten with mayonnaise and fill the 
^•olls. 
Rolls filled with lobster or crab salad, are 
very nice and this is the easiest way of carry¬ 
ing a salad. They must however be small, or 
they will be awkward to manage. A bit of 
cold boiled salmon makes a nice sandwich. 
Shred fine and mix with mayonnaise; spread 
on slices of buttered bread with a layer of 
thinly sliced cucumbers. 
Minced nasturtium leaves, or a thin slice 
of firm tomato, are delightful additions to 
any meat sandwich. If minced ham is used, 
cbt a small portion of the fat with it. 
The battle is only half won when all these 
articles are made. Cake, fruit, jellies and 
pickles, must not he jammed indiscriminately 
into a basket. The sandwiches should be 
wrapped in oiled paper, such as is used for 
candies. This you can make for yourself. 
Brush over some sheets of tissue paper with 
an ordinary paint brush dipped in oil, and lay 
each sheet between unoiled sheets of the same 
kind of paper. If this is too troublesome use 
a napkin slightly dampened. Pack the bottles 
of olives, pickles, and glasses of jelly in the 
straw coverings that come around wine 
bottles. Put cake in a tin cracker box, and 
fruit in a small basket by itself, for neither 
will be improved by the flavor of meat or 
mayonnaise. 
Of Madam Mollie’s wonderful boiled and 
baked ham, biscuits, wafers and cake more 
anon. The especial charm of the lemonade 
was supposed to be due to the fact that the 
juice was squeezed and mingled with the 
sugar the night before. Empty bottles that 
have contained Durkee’s salad dressing, are 
nice to carry the sirup in. 
“ The chocolate cake was the goodest,” said 
little Charley Farmlie, known as nimble Dick, 
because he generally stood on his head, from 
which peculiar vantage ground he now pro¬ 
pounded the conundrum, “why is Leila like 
chocolate cake ? ” and when we all gave it up, 
replied “ Because she’s good enough to eat. 
I heard Cousin Ned say so.” 
“ Don’t forget to mention the cream icing,” 
said Mollie to cover the confusion of the 
young people, “and asl didn't make it I must 
refer you to the lady from Boston.” 
But for these and other dainties I must 
refer you to a future number of the Rural.

ABOUT WOMEN. 
There are women and women; women with 
tender, loving hearts, filled with sympathy for 
all; women with cruel, cold, hard hearts— 
hearts of stone; women strong and steadfast; 
women with good intentions, but weak as 
water; women frivolous and giddy. But of 
all the different types the most repulsive to 
me is the woman who apes man. She dresses 
as nearly like a man as possible, affects stiff 
hats, carries an umbrella with a monstrous 
head, in the style a man carries his cane; 
crops her hair short and parts it on one side; 
pokes her hands into her side pockets and 
swaggers. She whistles to her dog, talks to 
her horse like a jockey and, on the whole, 
makes as much of a guy of herself as it is 
possible for her to do. Does she think the 
men like this kind of thing? Well, if she does, 
she is mistaken. True, they chum with such 
an one; it is jolly to joke and laugh together, 
to (very often) smoke cigarettes together, but 
when it comes to marrying—oh, no! Not that 
marrying should.be a girl’s one great object; 
far from it. She is often much better off single, 
but what I mean to say is this, that men do 
not like that sort of thing. What they enjoy 
for a day or an evening would be the last 
thing they would want as a steady diet. 
Imagine a man coming home from his day’s 
labor and having to sit opposite such a stick of 
a woman all the evening! Imagine,when grief 
comes to him, the amount of comfort he could 
get from having such an automaton around. 
Then the next type that is least desirable of 
all is the clinging-ivy kind: The kind that 
will sit all day long with a novel, or loll in a 
hammock and dream away her life; the 
woman who could not do a stitch of sewing, 
who would not wash a dish for fear of injur¬ 
ing her soft, white hands; the woman who, 
if she marries, is as a mile-stone round her 
husband's neck. But there is a happy medium 
between these two. A woman should be self- 
reliant, as independent as a man, and.should 
learn to do thoroughly what comes to her to 
do. 
There is no use in women aping men. They 
can never be men any more than men can be 
women. They are, however, equal but totally 
different. A woman may go out into the 
world and battle for herself, may bravely 
face all difficulties, and support herself and 
perhaps support her family, without losing 
her true womanliness. She may take her 
place on a level with man and keep pace with 
him, doing equal work (but not getting equal 
pay, by the way) and in no way lose her 
natural grace. Women and men were created 
for each other; to be help-mates—com¬ 
panions. Woman has always been kept at a 
disadvantage, but, notwithstanding this fact, 
she has “held her end up” pretty well. 
Girls, be, women —not simpering, lackadais¬ 
ical dolls of [things; but earnest, steadfast 
women Life isn’t a great holiday time; it is 
a battle-field. Perhaps ’those whose “lines 
have fallen in pleasant places” do not realize 
this. But if they would look around them 
they would see the defeated ones on all sides. 
Perhaps you don’t have to battle for your 
bread, but if you don’t, there are thousands 
who do. Can you not extend your hand to 
some tired, weary sister? Just a kind word 
may help, and that wouldn’t cost you much. 
Men are'cruel to women very often, but not 
half so often as are other women. Many a 
girl has little else in her whole life besides 
work; but if we, who may be more fortunate, 
would try, don’t you [think we could give her 
just a little ray of sunshine? A word of sym¬ 
pathy, a kindly smile or an appreciative 
glance may do far more than we realize. If 
we give these (they cost so little) we may save 
a sister from many a heartache. “Bear ye 
one another’s burdens.” We may [do this in 
more than one way. A'tender .word, a “God 
bless you!” may lift a great burden from a 
weary heart. Why are we so chary of them? 
‘•Let us gather up the sunbeams, 
Lying all around our path; 
Let us keep the wheat and roses, 
Casting out the thorns and chaff; 
Let us find our sweetest comforts 
In the blessings of to-day. 
With a patient hand removing • 
All the briars from our way. 
Then scatter seeds of kindness — 
For our reaping bye and bye.”

two or three days until fermented; then take 
as much sweetening (half molasses, half sugar)

ing, and spread upon each layer. It is very

hickory nuts are stirred into, the part of the 
frosting that is to be spread upon the under 
layers. may maple.

“ I consider it very largely due to Lactated Food 
that they are now so well.”
