Treasures of Methodism.
The Derbyshire (Eng.) Wesleyans

most priceless Methodist treasures,
Including the minutes of the first Wes-
leyan conference, from which the
original preachers' books were de
rived; a copy of a letter given by
John Wesley to John Bennett, with
founder s note and signature attached,
being dated 1752; and also original let-
ters written by Mrs. John Wesley,
Mrs. Charles Wesley, Mrs. George
Whitefield, and John Bennett's diary
from 1748 to 1752. These valuable
documents have had their home In the
Peak district for more than 150 years.
Toime snd Toide.
Mrs. Hooligan was Buffering from
the common complaint of having more
to do than there was time to do It in.
She looked up at the clock and then
slapped the Iron she had lifted from
the stove back on the lid with a clat-
ter. 'Talk about tolme and tolde wait-
In' fer no man," she muttered as she
hurried Into the pantry; "there's
toimes they waits, an' toimes they
don't. Yishterday at this blessed mln-
lt 'twas but tin o'clock, an' to-day It's
a quarther to twelve."—Everybody's.

Tramp—Thankee kindly, mum; I'd
no hope of gettln' slch a fine supper
today, mum. May heaven bless ye!
Housekeeper—As you've had a good
supper, I think you might chop some
wood.
"Yes, mum; but you know the old
adage: 'After dinner rest awhile;
after supper walk a mile.' I'll walk
the mile first, mum."—N. Y. Weekly

Pumpkin Pie snd Indian Pudding sf
They Ought to Be.
Old Style Pumpkin Pie.—When the
"lady" did her own cooking or knew
how better than her help, they were
baked in the old style clay deep-in-
the-center plates, brown, with yellow
wiggles in them. The pumpkin was
cut in pieces, peeled and stewed soft
enough to be scooped. Then mashed
and sweetened with sufficient dark
molasses into which ginger and cin-
namon, two parts of the first, one of
the latter to each pie< is mixed. To
this was added about one-third rich
cream to two-thirds drained pumpkin.
First bake the pie crust lining, add
the pumpkin till level with the edge
and bake in a brisk oven (it was
brick then) a rich brown, even darker
at the edge, with a brown film above.
It cuts coherently, not like custard
nor cornstarch, but like a firm pump-
kin pie.
Old Indian Pudding.—Pour a pint
of scalding milk on a cup of coarse
yellow Indian meal, add two beaten
eggs, two-thirds cup of dark molasses,
salt and cinnamon to taste, add one
pint of cold, rich milk, and bake two
hours, stirring several times to make
It whey. Make a sauce of one cup of
powdered sugar and one-half cup of
butter, beaten to a cream, flavor with
nutmeg, wine or brandy. A woman
hotelkeeper In a smaM western town
has built has trade on that pudding

Of Equal Utility and Beauty in the
Living Rooms.
One hundred and eight workmen en-
gaged on the asphalt paving and the
street car building at Enid struck for
higher wages. They have been receiving
51.75 for ten hours. The demand now
made Is 12 for nine hours. About fifty
men remained at work on the two Jobs.
How many persons dread to eat their
meals, although actually hungry near-
ly all the time!
Nature never Intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
und can digest.
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are-
indigestion and its accompanying
miseries.
A Phlla. lady said, the other day;
"My husband and I have been sick
and nervous for 15 or 20 years from
drinking coffee—feverish, indigestion,
totally unfit, a good part of the time,
for work or pleasure. We actually
dreaded to eat our meals.
"We tried doctors and patent medi-
cines that counted up into hundreds of
dollars, with little if any benefit.
"Accldentlly, a Bmall package of
Postum came Into my hands. I mado
some according to directions, with sur-
prising results. We both liked it and
have not used any coffee since.
"The dull feeling after meals ha9
left us and we feel better every way
We are so well satisfied with Postum
that we recommend it to our friends
who have been made sick and nervous
and miserable by coffee." Name given
by Postum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich.

Shelves, as perhaps few of us real
ize, add much character to a room.
Like cushions and rugs and books,
they give that delicious air of com
fort so often lacking in the stately yet
stiff drawing-rooms of some of our
modern homes.
Many people do not take to the idea
of shelves, associating the shelf with
the homely uses of the kitchen, the
pantry, and the cellar, whereas the
real fact is the utility of the shelf con-
stitutes much of its beauty.
People have become educated to see-
ing bookshelves In a library or sitting
room in preference to bookcases, for
these always seem designed more as
showcases for books and their bind-
ings than.to hold books ready for In-
timate use.
Fewer bookcases are sold nowadays
than formerly, for everybody seems to
appreciate the charm of the low book-
shelves built in around a room for oc-
cupying some special nook or corner
in a bay window or alcove. On the
top of these shelves one can always
have plants, photographs, magazines,
all the hundred and one little furnish-
ings that add to the beauty of a room.
The high corner bookshelves are al-
ways good for they use space often
otherwise wasted.
Fruit-and-Nut Rolls.
Sift together, three times, three
cupfuls of flour, six level teaspoonfuls
of baking powder and half ateaspoon-
ful of salt. Work in from one-third
to one-half cupful of shortening. Then
mix to a dough with milk. Turn the
dough onto a floured board, knead
slightly, then roll out into a rectan-
gular sheet about one-third of an inch
thick. Brush over the sheet of dough
with softened butter, then sprinkle
with sultana raisins or cleaned cur
rants and Alberts (hazel nuts), cut
Into several pieces. Roll up the
dough compactly, then cut the roll in
pieces an inch long. Set these on
end, close together, In a buttered
baking-pan. Bake about 20 minutes

Woman and Take Heart
If your back aches, and you feel
sick, languid, weak and miserable day
after day — don't
worry. Doan's Kid-
ney Pills have cured
thousands of women
in the same condition.
Mrs. A. Heiman of
Stillwater, Minn.,
says: "But for Doan's
Kidney Pills I would
not be living now.
They cured me in
1899 and I've been
well since. I used to have such pain
in my back that once I fainted. The
kidney secretions were much disor-
dered, and I was so far gone that I
was thought to be at death's door.
Since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me I
feel as if I had been pulled back from
the tomb."
Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

hands had something to do with It, her
hens and cows a'e largely responsible for

made and sold 1.386 pounds of butter and
■old 144 dozen
French Apple Fritters.
Pare and core b!x large apples, cut
them Into slices, sprinkle pounded
sugar over them, and leave them for
an hour. Then dip each slice in bat-
ter, previously prepared, and fry in
clarified butter. Let the chaflng-
diBh be very hot. When the frit-
ters are nearly ready, drain them, and

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills • Specific
For Anaemia and a Safe Family
Medicine.
When the body becomes run down,
either as a result of overwork, worry
or a severe illness, an examination of
the blood would show it to be weak'
and watery. This condition is called
anaemic, which is the medical term
for "bloodless." The common symp-
toms are paleness of the lips, gums
and cheeks, shortness of breath and
palpitation of the heart after the
slightest exertion, dull eyes and loss
of appetite.
Mr. Louis L. Clark, a painter, of 19
Lincoln Place, Plalnfield, N. J., says:
"Last May I was obliged to undergo
an operation for append'.citis and
while the operation in Itself was suc-
cessful, I did not recover my strength
and health. I was confined to my bed
for over a month and was under the
doctor's care. When I was able to
get up my legs were so weak and un-
steady that I could only walk with a
cane with difficulty.
"I was getting no better and could
not think of going back to work. I
was discouraged, when a neighbor
told me that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
had cured her and advised me to try
them. I began taking them about the
middle of June and soon felt so much
better that I kept on and was cured.
Dr Williams' Pink Pills have cur-
ed rheumatism, chlorosis, after effects
of the grip and fevers, and, as the
health of the nerves depends upon the
purity of the blood, they are invalu-
able in neuralgia, nervous debility,
sleeplessness, dizziness and even lo-(
comotor ataxia and paralysis.
Dr. Williams* Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists or sent, postpaid, on re-
ceipt of price, 50 cents per box, six
boxes $2.50. by the Dr. Williams Med-
icine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.
