The Way to Make Delicious Buck
wheat Griddlecakes.
To make buckwheat griddlecakes
mix together four cupfuls of buck
wheat flour with one scant cupful of
• eorameal and an even tablespoonful
of salt. Sift these ingredients to
gether. To moisten them use. five
cupfuls of lukewarm water or three
cupfuls of lukewarm water and two
cupfuls of milk. The milk is used
to give the rich brown color prefer
red by most people. To accomplish
this many housewives use all water
and add two tablespoonfuls of mo
lasses. The milk, however, makes
the cakes more delicate. Dissolve a
compressed yeast cake in a half cup
ful of lukewarm water ; add it to the
other liquid. Then add the liquid
gradually to the dry ingredients,
beating hard meanwhile. Pour the
batter into a pail that comes for the
purpose and let it rise over night.
In the morning just before baking
the cakes stir, a level teaspoonful of
soda into a quarter of a cupful of
lukewarm water and beat it into the
batter until it foams. Then fry a
test cake on a hot griddle, and if it
is too thick add more water or milk
to the batter. At least a pint of the
batter should be left for the next j
baking, to use in place of the yeast. I
To renew the batter add the ingredi
ents in the same proportion as the
first time.

HISTORY OF IRISH POPLIN,
Lady Carew, who died the other
day, was a benefactress of Ireland
in this way: She was the first per
son to wear in Paris an Irish poplin
dress. It was in primrose yellow,
with a design in gold thread, and
was so much admired that the fore
most ladies at the court of the Tui-
leries asked her where she bought
the poplin and on learning the ad
dress wrote for patterns. Marie
lAmelie ordered one in lavender, en
riched with a gold pattern; the
Princess Marie one in blue and sil
ver and Princess Clementine one in
pink and silver. Irish poplin was
nrst manufactured in Dublin by
Popeline, a Huguenot refugee. It
became the rage and was greatly
worn on occasions, of high ceremony,
as rain did not spoil it. Poplin be
came a favorite dress for the public
promenades at fashionable hours.
All its French imitations; the wool
being less carefully treated^ cockle
and lose luster when exposed to the
least shower. Balzac dresses some
of his grand ladies in poplin. The
Princess Clementine wore a plaid
poplin gown the day the late Queen

visit Louis Philippe and Marie Ame-
lie at Eu.—London News.

Getting Ready For Easter.
The time is fast approaching
when the season of rest and quiet
and Christian reflection and with
drawal from the world—called the
season of Lent—-will be over.
Easter comes early this year—
March 30th.
Already there’s a stirring in
trade circles making ready for the
because Easter calls for
Buried Treasure.
A Russian officer, bunting through
some old family papers, came on
-what seemed to him evidence that
certain Russian families, now ex
tinct, and some monks of the mon
astery of Potchajowska, not far
from Kiev, had during the Napole
onic wars buried in that institution
a sum of $4,000,000 to keep it out
of “Bony’s” clutches. Included
among the papers was a diagram
.showing exactly where the treasure
was deposited. The officer is quite
-sure it is there yet and has gone to
Kiev and made a bargain with the
present generation of monks in the
Institution to give them two-thirds
“when it turns up. The bishop has
not yet* given his sanction to the
^enterprise, but is being labored with
to that end.

Eads’ Prophecy Being Fulfilled.
It is .related of James B. Eads,
the engineer of the St. Louis bridge
and other great works, that some
years ago he made this prediction
concerning the city of St. Louis:
“One of these days this will be the
passing point of two enormous chan
nels of trade. The one will be an
iron way over the great west, the
other a waterway down the Missis
sippi, across the isthmus and up the
Pacific. The one will represent
speed, the other economy, and the
conflict between the two will have
all the bitterness of a fratricidal
war.”—Springfield Republican.
