From Day to Day. 
CONQUERORS BOTH. 
Napoleon took Europe and tossed down 
toppling thrones, 
And strewed its ghastly hillsides with white 
and bleaching hones; 
And dandled Kings like puppets and made 
his world-uproar, 
i’layed his battalions’ music, passed, and 
was heard no more. 
Sam Pasco took a run-down farm, a run¬ 
down farm, alas ! 
Where stretched unbroken solitudes between 
each spear of grass, 
And moss usurped its hillsides and flags 
usurped its meads, 
And both its hills and meadows were a 
tragedy of weeds. 
Sara Pasco’s hard campaigning! Long 
waged the stubborn fray; 
And Sam grew bowed and battered and 
Sam grew seamed and gray; 
But those bald bills grew green with grass, 
and apple blossoms fair 
Stormed, as with storms of Winter, the 
fragrant Summer air. 
Napoleon took Europe and played bis 
mighty game 
And sowed its fields with corpses and 
wrapped its towns in flame. 
Sam Pasco took his run-down farm and 
greened its moss-gray soil, 
And one small plot of this wide earth was 
fairer through his toil. 
Sam Pasco and Napoleon! Wide are the 
midnight skies, 
And in the wideness of the worlds men 
seem of equal size; 
And from some star may each look down, 
each stretch his phantom arm, 
Napoleon tow'rd Austerlitz, Sam Pasco 
toward his farm. 
—Sam Walter Foss.

As a variation in scrambled eggs, cut 
some solid tomatoes into small squares, 
arid stir in when the eggs begin to set; 
finish the cooking quickly, and dish very 
hot. A little chopped green pepper may 
be added if liked.

When a piece of white embroidery 
becomes soiled in the working, sprinkle 
it thickly with French chalk, roll it up, 
and set it aside for a few days. The 
chalk may then be shaken out, and the 
embroidery will be clean and fresh.

Serge, which came into vogue last 
Winter, is to be popular again the com¬ 
ing season, for tailored suits. It is seen 
in plain, herringbone and chevron 
weaves. Widewale diagonals, which 
were favorites in the late Spring, are 
also seen in Fall and Winter suits. 
Serge makes one of the most service¬ 
able jacket suits, and in the lighter 
weights is the most useful school dress 
a girl can have for cold weather, espec¬ 
ially in one of the pretty sailor models.

How many of us remember that it 
was a woman who introduced the heal¬ 
ing virtues of quinine to Europe? 
Donna Ana de Osorio, Countess of 
Chinchon, was wife of the Spanish 
viceroy in Peru, born two centuries be¬ 
fore the Declaration of Independence. 
While in Peru she was cured of a fever 
by a priest who had learned the virtues 
of the bark from the natives; Donna 
Ana introduced it to Spain on her re¬ 
turn home, where it became known as 
“Jesuits’ bark” or “Peruvian bark,” the 
latter name being used for the crude 
product to the present day. The lady’s 
part in introducing the drug is com¬ 
memorated in the botanical name of the 
tree, Cinchona.

“Stormy Saturday stew” is very 
savory, and also inexpensive. Cut two 
pounds of mutton into small squares, 
removing the fat. Put in an earthen 
stewpan, and barely cover with cold 
water. Set it where it will simmer 
slowly, but not boil hard, for about 
two hours, or until the meat is tender. 
Then add the corn cut from four ears, 
or one cup of canned corn, six toma¬ 
toes, peeled and cut up, and two minced 
onions. Cook for an hour longer. Half

an hour before serving stir in six pota¬ 
toes, boiled and run through a ricer, or 
mashed smooth; then thicken with three 
tablespoonfuls of browned flour rubbed 
into two teaspoonfuls of butter. Sea¬ 
son with pepper, salt and kitchen bou¬ 
quet or Worcestershire sauce, boil five 
minutes and serve. 
The Rural Patterns. 
The Directoire waist shown is made 
with a fitted lining and on this lining 
the various parts are arranged, the 
girdle covering the lower portion below 
the blouse proper. This last is left free 
at the lower edge and whatever skirt 
is worn with the waist can be adjusted 
beneath it . The closing is made invis- 
iblv at the back. If the Empire skirt

Corned and Dried Beef. 
For 50 pounds of beef use two pounds 
brown sugar, one ounce saltpetre, four 
quarts salt, five gallons soft water. 
Mix all together, boil and skim thor¬ 
oughly, and pour over the beef while 
boiling hot. See that meat is all cov¬ 
ered by brine, and cover vessel contain¬ 
ing it that the steam may be retained. 
We have used this formula for over 30 
years, and have never had any trouble. 
I have often kept the meat until late in 
Summer, but when that is desired, take 
the meat from the vessel, scald and skim 
cold brine. We find our dried beef es- 
the brine, and let cool. Scald the vessel 
and repack meat, and cover with the 
pecially good salted in this way, much 
better than that we pay our grocer 32 
cents a pound for. Four or five days 
is sufficient time to salt for drying. 
Beef for drying should be from the 
round, cut smooth at the seams. Re¬ 
move all fat from outside, and pack at 
top of vessel used in corning so it can 
be removed without disturbing the rest. 
Our method of drying is primitive. A 
stick borrowed from the quilting frame, 
laid across two chairs, supports the 
hooks that have been placed in each 
piece of meat; the dry room is the 
kitchen attic, through which comes the 
smoke pipe from the range. Turn meat 
often that it may dry evenly; no speci¬ 
fied time can be given, but do not dry 
too much. We do not smoke ours, but 
if desired, it could be hung in a barrel 
over smouldering corncobs, and smoked 
for a day or two. As to keeping—we 
put it in a strong whole paper flour 
sack, close tightly at the top, and hang 
in a cool dry place. mary mann. 
Snow Apple Pudding.—Fill a pudding 
dish half full of finely chopped apples 
well seasoned with butter, sugar and 
cinnamon. Pour over it a batter made 
of one and a half cupfuls of flour, two 
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one salt- 
spoonful of salt and a half tablespoon¬ 
ful of chopped suet. Moisten it with 
about three-fourths of a cup of milk. 
It should not be as stiff as for biscuit. 
Steam about three-fourths of an hour. 
Serve at once with lemon sauce.
