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. Care bf * Hot Water Bags. Do. not put boiling water into the bag.

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.

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, 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. A Few-Twins.
