“There Is no unbelief; 
Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod 
And waits to see it push away the clod, 
He trusts in God. 
“Whoever says when clouds are in the 
sky, 
‘Be patient, heart, light breaketh by and 
by,’ 
Trusts the Most High. 
“Whoever sees ’neath fields of Winter 
snow. 
The silent harvest of the future grow, 
God’s power must know. 
“Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep. 
Content to lock each sense in slumber 
deep. 
Knows God will keep. 
“There is no unbelief; 
And day by day and night, unconsciously. 
The heart lives by that faith the lips deny, 
God knoweth why.” 
—The Social Gospel.

We read recently of a little four-year 
old who went to the country for the 
first time to visit his grandmother. 
There for the first time he had a view 
of a cow. He would stand and look on 
while the man milked and ask all man¬ 
ner of questions. In this way he learn¬ 
ed that the long crooked branches on 
the cow’s head were horns. Now, the 
little fellow knew of only one kind of 
horn, and a few days after obtaining 
this information, hearing a strange 
kind of bellowing noise in the yard, he 
ran out to ascertain its cause. In a few 
minutes he returned with wonder and 
delight depicted on his countenance, ex¬ 
claiming: “Mamma, mamma! Oh, do 
come out here! The cow’s blowing her 
horns!”

Princess skirts which look as though 
they were fastened on just under the 
arms are a new French model. They 
are gored to fit up above the waist, the 
actual ending being hidden under a bo¬ 
lero. They are only suited to a very 
slender figure. While the skirts still 
fit very snug around the hips, they are 
not so close as they were down to the 
knees; at the bottom they are still ex¬ 
pected to fiare very widely. Postilion 
coat tails are often used at the back, 
which may be attached either to the 
Skirt or the waist, appearing below the 
belt; they are very new, and a decided 
advantage to a long-waisted woman, as 
the present fashion demands that one 
must be short-waisted in the back and 
long-waisted in front. 
* 
A NEW idea for making taffeta or 
wash silk shirt waists for Summer is to 
cut the waist in the ordinary style, 
without lining, the sleeves being a little 
short, and flaring at the bottom, the 
top of the waist cut down in the shape 
of a small round yoke. A perfectly plain 
waist of thin nainsook is made to wear 
under this, having a stock collar of em¬ 
broidery, a little embroidery on the 
yoke, if desired, and full bishop sleeves 
with an embroidered cuff. These un¬ 
dersleeves show under the flaring sleeve 
of silk in the fashionable puff, and the 
effect of the whole is cool and pretty. 
fiding women that he has just arrived 
in this country, bringing with him a 
small quantity of high-class Irish linens, 
which he succeeded in getting past the 
custom house without paying duty; con¬ 
sequently he is prepared to sell them at 
reduced prices. His wares, however, 
are flimsy, heavily-glazed German lin¬ 
ens of the cheap grades, dressed so as 
partly to conceal their poor texture. A 
great many women do not understand 
the quality of new linens, so the ven¬ 
der of gold-brick tablecloths gets rid of 
enough of these poor materials to pay 
him well, charging far more than they 
are worth. We hope that our feminine 
readers will be proof against his bland¬ 
ishments, should they happen to meet 
with him. 
Rural Recipes. 
She boiled the eggs and sliced them with 
discriminating care. 
She cut the onions finely with a most im¬ 
portant air; 
With comprehending art she mixed the 
golden mayonnaise. 
Which, really to her credit, was deserving 
highest praise. 
Then .she added the potatoes (humming 
gay a little ballad). 
As she thought, “How pleased will Hubby 
be with this delicious salad.” 
But at lunch she was the saddest little 
girl you ever saw. 
When he said, “Aren’t these potatoes, 
dearest, just a little raw?” 
—What to Eat. 
Baked Toast.—This is a preparation 
of milk toast recommended by an Eng¬ 
lish cook. Prepare toast in the ordi¬ 
nary way, and, as each slice is ready, 
dip quickly into a pan of boiling water 
slightly salted, then pack into a bak¬ 
ing-dish, sprinkle well with salt, and 
cover deep with boiling milk. Bake in 
a dish, closely covered, for 15 minutes, 
and serve. The toast should have ab¬ 
sorbed all the liquid without getting 
dry. If you can spare three or four 
tablespoonfuls of cream, heat, and pour 
over the surface just before sending to 
the table. The baking lends smooth¬ 
ness and richness to this dish not to be 
found in milk toast prepared in the 
usual way. 
Oxford Sausage.—One pound each of 
finely chopped veal, pork and beef suet. 
Mix through this one quart of bread 
crumbs, grated peel of half a lemon, a 
grated nutmeg, a sprig each of savory, 
thyme and sweet marjoram and a 
tablespoonful of powdered sage leaves. 
Make in cakes and fry in very little hot 
butter. 
Peanut Wafers.—Stir one-half cupful 
of butter to a cream with one cupful of 
sugar. Dissolve a scant half teaspoon- 
fui of soda in half a cupful of milk and 
add it to the mixture. Stir in two cup¬ 
fuls of flour and beat vigorously. Turn 
a baking pan upside down, wipe it very 
clean, butter it and spread the wafer 
mixture over it, using a knife to make 
it smooth and quite thin. Sprinkle the 
top thickly with finely rolled peanuts 
and bake in a moderate oven until 
brown. Cut the cake into squares while 
hot and place them on a moulding board 
to cool. Place in a tin box to keep crisp. 
Eggs with Bread Sauce.—Prepare a 
heaping cupful of stale bread crumbs, 
using only the interior of the loaf. Put 
into a saucepan with cupful of milk, 
one-half of a teaspoonful of salt, a dash 
of cayenne and a half teaspoonful of 
onion juice and simmer slowly until 
thick and smooth, beating several times 
with a spoon. Pour the sauce into a 
broad shallow dish and break carefully 
over it half a dozen eggs. Place in a 
hot oven until the eggs are set, then 
send quickly to the table. 
Potato Chowder.—Wash and pare 
four large potatoes. Cut them into small 
dice. Chop fine one quarter of a pound 
of ham and one good-sized onion. Slow¬ 
ly fry the ham and onion together until 
a light brown, then in a saucepan put 
alternate layers of the ham and diced 
potato, seasoning well with salt and 
pepper. Add one tablespoonful of fine¬ 
ly chopped parsley and one pint of boil¬ 
ing water, cover and simmer slowly un¬ 
til the potatoes are tender, which will 
take about twenty minutes. In a sec¬ 
ond saucepan thicken two cupfuls of 
milk with one tablespoonful of butter, 
and one tablespoonful of flour, sim¬ 
mer for a moment, add it to the chow¬ 
der and let cook for two minutes longer.

The undersleeves still maintain their 
vogue; even where a sleeve is tight it 
is often cut of two materials, so as to 
give this effect, and where undersleeves 
are not worn there is usually a puff at 
the lower part. Very often the sleeve 
is tucked to the elbow, and left in a 
puff below; sometimes the tucking ex¬ 
tends farther down, leaving a short full 
puff at the wrist.
