Barley Soup. â€"- The two follow- ing soup recipes are especially recom- mended for~ the sick room:- one pint of slightly salted boiling water and into this stir (slowly) about twoâ€"thirds of an even cupful m." barley flakes, or enough to make a thick mash when it is swollen. Stir constantly and cook until the large bubbles have ceased to burst. Then set the boiler over boiling wa- ter' and cook a halfâ€"hour. Turn it into a bowl, smooth off the top and pour over it little cold water to prevent the formation of a crust. When the patient is ready for a porâ€" tion smooth it in cold milkâ€"if it is desirable to have it very fineâ€"sift it. Then thin it to the desired consistâ€" ency with hot milk, or cream, and add a pinch of salt. In this way a small portion of gruel may be preâ€" pared quickly and often. cooked at one time. This soup has been given with satisfactory results in severe cases of dysentery. It is also soothing and nourishing. Mutton Juice.-â€"Cut one pound of .raW' mutton, .from the leg, into thin shavings and carefully remove all the fat. Spread the slices, close to- gether, on a long fine piece of clean cheesecloth; sprinkle with fine salt, roll up the cloth tightly and tie it. Then place it in a meat press or beâ€" tween heavy weights and thus squeeze out all the juice. Serve with broken ice, or heat it slightly and serve without straining. 5A Simple Nourishing Dish.â€"Bread and milk, and crackers and milk, are classed as very simple dishes; yet, nevertheless, they do not agree with all people. them without an uncomfortable senâ€" Take . Enough ofi the mush for one day only should be. moving the soil on the top of r v ' -I‘hose who cannot eatlpealunca sation of fullness may like to try the following dish: over it a little thin cream-about three tablespoonfuls to each‘slice; sprinkle sparingly with salt. Personâ€" ally, I would prefer this for my desâ€" sert to either pie or pudding. Oyster Rolls. â€" Shape some well- risen light bread dough into small round forms and put them into wellâ€" greased muffin pans. Let them rise until very light, then bake them in a quick oven, decreasing the heat when they are brown, ' and let them remain until'very thoroughly done. When cold out a small slice from the top and scoop or pun out the inside, being careful not to break the crust. Don’t throw away the inâ€" side, but put it in a moderate oven and let . it dry and brown slightly and use it as you do pulled bread, or roll it for crumbs. Pick over one pint of oysters, strain the liquor, put it with the oysters, and parboil until the edges curl. Skim out the oysters, remove the scum, add to the hot liquor an equal amount of cream, and pour it gradually over a white roux made by cooking one taâ€" blespoonful of hot butter until well blended. Add a few grains of mace, oneâ€"half of a teaspoonful of celery salt, a dash of cayenne and a few drops of lemon juice. Cut the oyâ€" sters in bits, put them in the sauce and when hot fill~the bread shells, put on the crust cover, and if there be any sauce left, pour it around the rolls. ' Serve very hot. Escalloped Oysters. -â€" One pint ofl six pounded crackers. Drain the liquor from the oysters and wash them in a bowl of clear water. Put a layer in a small dish, sprinkle with salt, pepper, a pinch of mace and bits of butter. Then cover with a layer of bread crumbs. Repeat this process till you have used the oysters. Have the top layâ€" or of crumbs thick enough to ' hide the oysters. Strain the liquor and pour over it, and let stand for a few minutes. Then pour over all half a cup of milk, and bits of butter .at intervals to make a rich crust. Bake fifteen to twenty minutes. Macaroni. â€".â€"- Two ounces 0 me pint of milk, a scant ounce of butter, a pinch of salt, a little pepâ€" per. Boil the macaroni ten min- utes, turn off the water and pour on the. milk with half the cheese and butter and boil for five minutes. Then put the whole in a dish with the remainder of the cheese and cov- er the top with a layer bread crumbs and bits of butter. Brown in the oven and serve at once. oysters and CAKES FROM BREAD DOUGH. A dainty produced from the bread- pan is a light cake that is delicious for tea. Take one cup of the light dough, add half pint of warm milk, three eggs, sugar or syrup to sweet- en, one cup raisins, . a few spices, and flour to form a thick batter, as for cake. Pour into a greased tin, and allow to rise until very light, then bake slowly. In place of rais- ins, dry cherries stewed and sweeten- ed with maple syrup are nice. Citâ€" ron may be used and dried apples are equally good. The. apples should be soaked for an hour in warm waâ€" ter, and used in the cake without previous cooking. ~Another favorite little folks, as well as "children of an older growth,” is to knead up a quantity of dough with a little RUx‘l out very thin. Butter relished by the f cheese, l it will cover the bottom and sides. Cut a long, narrow strip of dough, wet the edges, and press the strip along them firmly. Fill the center with apples, peeled, sliced, and sweetened with sugar, dotted with bits of butter, and flavored with cinnamon. The flavoring may be varied with lemon juice, vanilla or nutmeg. Allow it to become very light, then bake in a slow oven. This forms i favorite dessert, when servâ€" ed warm with cream, or a sweet sauce. Dried or canned fruits may be substituted in place of apples. When seasonable fresh currants are nice. . - Cinnamon roses are nice for the children’s luncheon. Roll out some bread dough quite thin, spread with a little butter, and sprinkly innvbfg a little butter, and sprinkle thickly with sugar and cinnamon. Now roll it up as for roll jelly cake, moisten the edge with water, so it will adâ€" here firmly. With a sharp knife cut off slices from the roll about one inch thick. Lay them in a greased pan, and when light, bake. ammo WATERING I-I USE PLANTS. Many plants are starved for want of water, but more are killed by having too much. The way to tell is to tap the pot with the knuckles, if it rings out it is a call for water, if it gives out a quiet sound it is all right; but if the sound is dull and heavy, the soil is too wet, and you must look. to the drainage. By the pot with‘a knife or trowel, it is easy to tell if the ground is dry, for if so it requires water, but any one must use judgment in the case. If water is given from the tap, let it stand in the open air a few hours before using. Of course rain water is the best for this purpose, and add a little warm water, so as to be nearer the temperature of the room than the cold water would likely to be. Never let the water stay in the saucer, and about once in three weeks put in a bit of lime about the size of a walnut in the waâ€" ter, for it helps to sweeten the soil and gives the leaves a healthy ap- At this‘ season of the year when the days are cloudy and cool the plants require much less 1 I d d b l, Sofieofegfgf; water than in February and March y ma 0 an a‘e( 1“ a1 ‘ when the sun is more powerful wheat bread, slice it thin and pour the plants feel and the heat, and start into new vigor.

Symptoms Much the Same in the Human Being as in the Cow. "This is a disease affecting cattle and sheep especially, but occasionâ€" ally transmitted to horses, dogs, cats and poultry, and also to man. In cattle it is characterized by fever _ and by an eruption of little blisters in the inside of the mouth. The blisters are at first filled with a colorless fluid which later becomes cloudy, and then the blisters break, leaving sore places, which heal slow- ly. A similar eruption occurs at the cleft of the hoof, and also frequentâ€" ly on the udder. In the latter case the eruption is of serious conse- quence to man, for from it the milk may be contaminated. While the cow is ill, however, the milk usually becomes very scanty, and acquires so disagreeable a taste that? it is unsalable. The disease lasts from ten days to tw0 weeks, but for some time after recovery the cow- is in poor condition and gives but little milk. In the human being the symptoms are much the same as in the cow. The trouble begins with fever, ach- ing pains in the limbs and dizziness. After a day or two the eruption apâ€" pears in the interior of the mouth, . and als0 on the face about the_nose. The blisters, which are from the size cf a pin-head to that of a pea, soon break, and form yellowish scabs on the skin and ulcers on the mucous membrane of the mouth. The eruption may occur also on other parts of the body, especially on the fingers and toes, around the nails. In severe cases there may be bleed.â€" ing from the mouth or from the bowols, and pneumonia sometimes occurs. The affection is seldom fatal, either in man or in beast. The disease is acquired in man through direct contact with an af- fected animal or by drinking con- taminated milk. The germ of footâ€" andâ€"mouth disease has not been dis- covered, but it must be very minâ€" ute, .for, like that of yellow fever, it will pass through a filter which will hold all bacteria large enough to be seen under the microscopes now in use. The treatment in man consists chiefly in the use of antiseptic and soothing lotions and mouth washes to relieve the distress caused by the blisters. The patient should stay in bed while the fever lasts, and avoid exposure and fatigue for some time after convalescence is established. Care must be taken by the nurse to avoid infection. All rags used in dressings should be burned, and bed linen and towels should be boiled for half an hour before going into the general ~wash. * .! FAMOUS DRUMS. The drums used by the Scots Guards in South Africa have just been sold, and in some cases they fetched between $300 and $350 apiece, a price which is nearly eight times as much as they originally Edwalds approached a young couple - - uflywrflwd-VW' ' on or m Ii/IAN MURDERED THREE TO GET A GROCERY. Engnshman's Series of Crimes to Gain Control of Small Shops. A series of murders, which in me- thod of execution suggest the horror tales of Edgar Allen Poe and which for peculiarity of motive are almost unequaled, are attracting the attenâ€" tion of England. Edgar Edwards, a man who had an ambition to become a grocer, is now imprisoned charged with the commission of three murders and an attempt at a fourth. In the “vast loneliness of-London” these crimes have been months in coming to light. The facts, as have learned them, are these: In the latter part of November the London public named Darby in Camberwell and enâ€" tered on negotiations for the Dur- c-hase of their grocery business. He himself had a home in Leyton. The young people have been described as being uncommonly good looking and promising. They had a year old baby and were conducting a pros- perous grocery establishment. This business Edwards proposed to buy. They agreed to his terms and everything was arranged for the setâ€" tlement. So far as the neighbors understood the bargain was actualâ€" ly made. The Darbys disappeared from the neighborhood and Edwards took possession of the store. Their old customers came to him, and when inquiry was made concernâ€" ing the former proprietors Edwards replied that they had been paid the purchase money and had moved away, he did not know whither. Things ran along smoothly in this fashion until Edwards determined to buy" another grocery store. SECOND MURDER ATTEMPTED. This time he entered into nego- tiations to buy out John Garland, another grocer. The bargain was being made when Edwards, to com- plete it, asked Garland to visit him ton. been one evening at his home 'in Ley Garland agreed. He had not in the house were alarmed by a number of terriâ€" fic screams, and suddenly the door opened and out rushed Garland, bleeding from great wounds in the head. He was barely alive, but he managed to tell a story of an asâ€" sault made on him by Edwards. He was taken to a hospital and Edwards was placed under arrest. He had nothing to say; no excuse to offer for the murderous assault, and Garland was too seriously wounded to talk at any length. This story' was spread abroad, and it reached 'thc notice of the rela- tives of the Darbys. Their disap- pearance had been mysterious to their people. No hint of why they should take such sudden departure had been given, and nothing had been heard of them since the sale of their grocery store. ~ The relatives knew that Edwards had bought the store, and when the news of his as- sault on the other grocer was heard they determined on an investigaâ€" tion. The police, at their request, enterâ€" ed the store formerly occupied by the Darbys. Nothing was amiss downstairs in the store, but upstairs in the living rooms the whole. story was told. Two room's were literalâ€" ly splashed with blood. Excited by this disaovery, and certain that a great crime was to be revealed, the. police searched the premises over for the bodies without finding the slight- est trace of them. The blood stainâ€" ed walls were the only evidences of a crime. Suddenly it occurred to one to make a search of the premises in Leyton, although they were miles away from the grocery store, where it Was supposed the crime had been committed. That revealed the re- maining evidences. In the. garden of Edwards" residence were found the dismembered bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Darby and their baby. CRIME TO SECURE SHOP. With that discovery the rest of the evidence fastening the guilt on Edâ€" wards came rapidly. It Soon beâ€" came evident that he had determin- ed on the murder of the Darbys to secure their shop without payment of the price agreed on. With this purpose in mind he had entered the living rooms quietly one day. There he found Mrs. Darby with her baby in her arms. Stealing up behind her he brought down on her head a 'heavy iron bar which he had carried .with him for the purpose. Just as he did so she became ‘awuro that some one was in the ‘room with her. The first blow did not kill her, and Edwards had to strike again. As he did_ so she screamed, and the cry alarmed her husband, who was downstairs. Be- fore he could reach her Edwards had completed his work and had rushed into the adjoining room to meet Darby, who was just coming upstairs. Before the startled groâ€" cer understood what was happening Edwards had struck him with the bar. Undismayed by the blow, alâ€" though blo’od was pouring down his face, Darby, who was a muscular young fellow, grappled the murderâ€" fought about the room, him, er. They but Darby‘s wound weakened Edwards soon ll’ ‘ RIMES ' no suspicion long when neighbors' . which were in a measure unique.

The killing of the baby was then a necessity, and Edwards accomplimi- ed this by strangling the little one with a handkerchief. To hide his crime it was necessary to remove the bodies. He hit upon the idea'of carrying them to his own home in Leyton, many miles away. NERVOUS ORATORS . Feelings of Some Great M33: fore Making a.
