“Times are hard,” said the millionah'e,
“Time to economize—but where?
I must have a new steam yacht sure.
In which to make next summer’s tour;
Let’s see—well, there’s my head clerk.
Brewn,
I’ll have to cut his wages down.”
“Times are hard,” echoed Brown, the clerk,
“Economy is hateful work!
I can t give up cigars, or do
Wi'th> ut my little pleasures few;
So wife, must get along with less,
Both in tim house and for her dress.”
"Timos are hard,” so his good wife said,
“With all this family to be. fed,
I must economize these days
In a great many little ways;
Thank goodness, I know how!” said she,
And set about it cheerfully.
MORAL.
When times are hard, a woman true
I’lays no mean part, when she can do
With little, making it seem much,
Under her skillful woman’s touch;
The kitchen is the place to see
The struggle with economy:
She who the household ways must guard
Knows what it means when times are hard.
—Good Housekeeping.
“All About Erks.”
The above is the title of a little book got
ten out by some enterprising publisher, and
it contains re< q.es for cooking eggs in one i
hundred and fifty different ways. As there
is no better or healthier article 01 food
than eggs, it is well to know a variety of
ways to prepare them, but it is hard to
conceive of a hundred and fifty.
It is interesting to know how to tost fresh ;
eggs, and there are a variety of ways, but I
■ne of the simplest is to take a piece of !
pasteboard about# live or six ini hes square,
with a hole in the center about an inch
square; hold this in front of a strong light
and place the egg’ against the hole and
look through it; if it is a fresh egg it will
be quite full; after about twenty-four hours
an air chamber or open space can be seen
at the larg r end and this gradually en
larges as the egg g> ts older. A bad egg
will not only have a large air space, but
the contents nil! be seen to have a. mixed
appearance toward the center. By prac- |
tice one • in soon learn to determine a fresh j
from a. stal egg.
Another simple way is to drop them in a ;
weak brine. Eggs not more than a day old I
will fall to the bottom of this brine; if '
more than six days old will float, and if ;
very bad will appear very light, on the sur- I
face. i
Another thing it is well to know—don’t i
beat the whites of eggs in tin; it is said to i
prevent their getting light. Use a uish or '
earthenware bowl. If in beating tile whites j
they have a t< ndency to become snowy,
th t is to separate in flakes and w.il not j
Stiilc to th<- b< ■ ! ad a. drop or two of ■
'■? . anil tl :oon be frothed
into tirmn-ss, but if this is nied. the eggs ,
must be used ,at. once.
There is not mmh use to g’ve a good :
housekeeper any suggestions -is to broiling, ’
frying, baking, roa.t.ng -..r poaching i.-gs— j
t
there ai not man; p pie ■ leesssful in ‘
omelette making, an . y t il is wry simple. !
An omlette must not b made until the rest I
of the meal is ready to di .i up, lor the se- |
ert’t of a good, h&ht one is to t - ' rv * imine- i
diateiy. Five two tabb'sp ais of •
cream or rich milk, a little . alt and p-pper
will make a nice plain mn! it that will be :
as large as ought to be cooked tit me time; '
if the size of the family .» quire a la tg< i
c lantity tin re should two be made. Th j
whites and yolks should lie beaten septi- :
rately—the whites -to a stiff froth and the
yolks until foamy. The milk and seasoning I
si mid b<- added to iir yolks ar.il stirred
w 11; then the wiiites should bv be ten in
and the mixture cooked iminedi it -ty in a
w-di buttered tin; th? butter should get
very hot before the omlette is poured it..
There is no end to tin- edibles that can be
mixed with a plain omlette, and thus vary
the dish. Cold ham, chicken, veal, fresh
oysters, chopped very line, and a ’ded just
before baking m ike dainty dishes.
There can be bought now little i dividual
pie tins for linking onilettes, and tl.-. n it
need not be cut, but serve not to each piate;
for a change, two of these may be put
together with something nice between
them.
A very pretty and palatable way to pre
pare eggs is to boil them very hard, and j
when cold cut the egg into three or four
slices, first cutting off the end:-; have the
yolks of severui eggs beaten very iigiit nd i
seasoned with pepper and salt; dip your I
slices in this and tie n in bread crumb- or
cracker dust, and fry in very hot lard.
There would be no end to the recipes
where eggs are used in dainty <!• certs, and,
Indeed, when we think of it, there would
be no housekeeping without eggs. I hear
people talk of battercuk- and waliles, and
even cake without eggs, or “one egg cake,”
but I have yet to taste any of these eata
bles made good without eggs. There are
thre< ii ts nec< try to go 1 cook
ing-milk, butter and eggs, and there must
be plenty of them.

Tan, pearl gray a id the new greens a.re
said to be the popular gloves for this sea
son. Tiie glove called the Reyni -r is the
most popular. They are made with gus
sets between the lingers, but not between
the thumb and finger; this gives the hand
a very slender appearance. They come in
all the dainty shades to match the coloring

With many the most chic glove is of

THAT TlllEn FEELING.
Chronic Systemic Catarrh Ih Vsnnlly
the Cause.
Depression of the nervous system of any
kind is likely to cause a condition of the
mucous membranes of the nose and throat
so nearly resembling catarrh that many
times they are identical. Also chronic dis
eases which depress the nervous system will
produce the same result. They cause a
flabby, pale condition of the mucous sur
faces, with a sticky, stringy mucous secre
tion, which causes much hawking or cough
ing, properly called catarrh, the whole
trouble being caused by nervous depression,
pure and simple. Beside the usual sympt
oms of catarrh, the patient has brown
specks before the eyes, slight dizziness,
roaring in the ears, attacks of nervous
headache, palpitation of the heart, flashes
of heat, followed by slight, chilly sensa
tions, faintness, depression, despondency,
forebodings, foolish fears and many other
similar ones.
Pe-ru-na has, again and again, been
found to be of great value in such cases.
The first dose gives prompt relief to the
most distressing symptoms, and a persist
ent use of it for a reasonable length of
time will permanently cure cases of long
standing.
A treatise on catarrh in every phase of
this dread disease is sent free to any ad
dress by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing
Company, Columbus. O.

THE COXSTITI TION,

FOR THE AFTERNOON TEA.
How to Arrange the Boom anil Fur
nish the ’Fable.
From The New York Herald.
Why is not every woman a born hostess?
They are not, 1 am sorry to say, and for
one n ason solely. They do nut consider the
situation m all its details.
Fast, the invitation reads: "From 4 until
7.” As a rule no one arrives b?lure 5
o’clock; then a throng of people pour in,
and it is from that moment, if you wish
your tea to be talked about after it is over,
that your generalship begins.
When a woman gets the afternoon tea
fever upon her there are several requisites
necessary. Her drawing room, above all
th.ngs, should have an atmosphere. By
that I mean an air of comfort that to every
one who enters it is a charm unmistakable.
A bunch of carnations or roses in a pretty
jug will quite set off the mantel, even if
bric-a-brae is limited and drapery absent.
Books, p.ctures and a screen or two will
quite complete the scene if taste is exer
cised. if you live in a small apartment
your tea table should occupy a corner. If
your tea room is spacious then the center
is the place for your afternoon refection.
Tea and crackers are not quite enough,
and. In fact, some trifle should be added
m the way of a salad.
Os all the delicate bites the egg salad
should surely have the palm. It is easily
made and can be arranged early in the
morning, leaving the dressing to be the
very last duty before the guests arrive.
This salad of egg is reallv of stuffed
eggs, and one cup should be given to each
person.
Boil ten eggs twenty minutes. Peel off
the shells and cut each egg in half, so as to
form two cups. From the end of ’each cup
cut a small slice, so they will stand firm. .
Remove from each egg the yolk and put all
the yolks in a bowl. Mix together in an
earthen saucepan two eggs well beaten, one
teaspoonful of dry mustard, three table
spoonfuls of sweet cream, one tablespoon
ful of salt, one tablespoonful of pepper,
two tablespoonfuls of olive oil and two
tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Boil until thick
as custard and mix with the hard-boiled
yolks. Fill the cups made from the white
with the mixture and set on ice until cold.
Serve each cup with a leaf of lettuce and
pour over egg and lettuce some mayonnaise
sauce. Ou Hie plate should also be a slice
or two of thin bread and butter and a cup
of Russian tea in which sugar and cream is
added. A teaspoontui of rum is a great
improvement.
11. W. Grady’s Speeches.
Owing to the large demand for the speech
es of the late Henry W. Grady, I have
compiled them in pamphlet form and will
send them to any part of the country for
50e. .Mr. Grady’s speeches have an inter
national reputation. They are exactly what
the school boy wants for the coming com
mencement exercises. Send 50c (stamps
taken), and I will send them to you at once.
T. J. KELLY. Atlanta, Ga.
THE “VISITE” IS HERE.
It Is Next to the Prince Albert Hi Pop
ular Favor.
The spring wrap of distinction is the
“viste.” Like all other fashionable wraps,
it is made without sleeves. The material
most in favor for its creation is black
moire.
A “visite” Imported for a Fifth avenue
society woman .s made of moire nacre.
The moire is effectively wrought with
iridescent spangles in shades of green,
bronze, dull blue and gilt. It is brought
up from the waist line over the bust and
tied at the corsage .n a large bow, the ends
reaching almost to the bottom of the gown.
Tin y are finished w ill a silk fringe, which
blends in color with the spangles. The
rest of the “visite” consists merely of full
cape-like frills of the moire, 'which fall
over the shoulders. They are outlined with
t. «:..»,ng v< *r»d the small revets have
also the same glistening finish.
The “visite” is worn on the promenade
and to the afternoon tea or thetheater.
When made of moire and wrought with jet
or iridescent spangles, it lends an air of
distinction to any gown with which it may
be worn.
The Sparta Ishmaelite say’s of Sneaker
Crisp: ,
“Speaker Crisp Has come into prominence
as a presidential possibility. 'The Ishmae
lite would rather support him than Steven
son. Southern democrats should i emmate
him and vote solidly for him.”

Brown is Bating the Fisb Holes—The Old
Man Want the Town Peopte to Relax
from Business—Visit tlieCountry.
Written for The Constitut2®ft •
No matter how much harm the cold snap
has done us, me and Brovjn propose to—
" Just let the wide world'wag as it will,
We'll be gay and hapnv ptill.”
Everything *is bright and cheerful on the
farm, How that we are sure the winter is
over. The roosters cr w louder, the hens
sing all the day, the turkeys strut and the
guineas are looking for nests—there is noth
ing to mar the delights but the withered
flowers and the backward garden truck. 1 he
countryman has many things to chafrn him
as he carries on his work. The fresh plowed
ground is soft to his tread and sweet to the
smell, mid it is delightful to watch the
young plants breaking through the crust
and showing up along the rows. And it is
charming to get hungry as the plowman
does and to eat with the relish that he
does. Brown turns his eye toward the kitch
on chimney about 10 o’clock on these days
and a spell of anxious care spreads all over
bis brown face for quite a while some times,
but ftrhen a little wreath of smoke curls up
from that chimney such a reaction comes
in his looks and his actions that would im
press you that he is well paid in joy for
his anxiety. He knows that the smoke from
the chimney means dinner. He smiles along
to the end of the row and bobs his head as
if k pipng time to the churn dasher. At
the end he throws his plow stock away
round before old Kit has had time to grab a
mouthful of grass, and bawls with strong
voice and a slap of the line fob her to, “Get
up. you lazy thing, don't be so slow.”
The countryman is all right. He can
manage to have Something to eat and an
appetite to relish whatever it is. He may
get to the house at night with wearied
limbs, but bis rest is sweet and refreshed
in the morning lie goes again to his field in
cheerful mood. There are many in the
great cities today who pine for the rest and
health of these countrymen. Many of them
know what it is. but they lost it in their
greqd for gain, or lured by’ the glitter of city
life. Some have grown poor by the change—
so poor that they cannot return—while
some have grown rich and weighted down
with business they cannot return. Many of
these would like to come out with me and
Brown and walk barefooted in the fresh
plowed ground, or walk over the
woods. breaking off the dogwood
bi >.'>sorr>s and pretty honeysuckles,
buj; they are too poor, or too rich
and busy, or else too fashionable. Vv e sym
pathise with the poor and are sorry for the
hard worked business man who has not
tlnie to relax, but it is the fashionable who
need most our pity. The poor
forced, a blessing in disguise, to come out
and taste of tlu ?e country sweets; the busi
ness man may learn '.hat he should relax
and come out and romp over the fields
and woods and drink buttermilk and other
wholesome food, but for the fashionable,
poor things, Hvy must lollow fashion.
They rnn.-c go off to the seashore or water
ing places a.n l strain o keep in tlic swim.
1 i to steal pff fishing on Sundays along
with Brown, and the thoughts of taking
oi;r whipping when we reiuriied home was
anything but pleasant, and I think that
these people who live in a strain to be
fu -hionable f». el somewhat as me and
ErOwn felt—it is worse titan taking a whip
ping with many cl them, if these people
w ild only have the nerve to break away
from their sets and come down to cheap
and healthy recreation somewhere in the
country m- r home, there wottld be a fall
ing off in suicides and many a home made,
hiifmy.c
i’ ;.'!rioss, blJGiiess, and fashion, fashion.
*
I'board a good, m. n say a fnw Saturdays
ago, “God b’u.-s Sunday!" He told me that
word it not for the rest he gets on SntldAy
he would be in the .asylum in 'Css than a
month. I believe him; the world is over
worked. Night must be lit up and turned
into day. The great wheels must turn and
th? clatter of machinery go on. it takes
millions of dollars to satisfy now where
hundreds used to .satisfy. The richest man
1 know in all of Georgia before the war
was reckoned to be worUi SZua.OOO. This man
was a. wonder in those days; lie stood high
er than Van lei but stands now. A man
starting out 'o get rich now woudn t think
about stopping at jA'j.Ot.'O. Strain all the
time, oveiiworii ail the lime, never a time
to jgo out in the country, never a day to
test and all for more money than they
know what to do with —money to make
tl. 'tn tho more anxious. The man of a
million cannot rest nor can the man who has
bis heart set on making a. million rest. No
artifice can take the place of the relaxation
needed. Peaceful rest can tltid no substitute
in . it. incut. Prize lighting, ball playing,
theaters ar whatnots, cannot give the rest.
You may go on till you have the Spanish
bull fights or anything else, but it won’t
ease the tired brain nor it won’t improve
the morals. Brown says, and 1 say, pul out
the electri* lights wnen night comes on;
shut down business, go to lied with the
chickens and lay there without scheming to
make more money. L>o this, and once and
awhile go out to some good country home
and spend a week, or a month would be bet
ter. This is what the busy town man needs
and the fashionable had better do likewise—
at least live within your means without
strain.
Brown wrestles with the weather all the
time. When it is cold it is mighty nigh irtt
possible to get him up in the
morning to make a fire, and then
be shivers all through the: day, but
when the earth begins to get warmed up he
takes .upon, his face a grin mat continues
there more or less till time to go to shivering
again. He looks distressed as he shivers in
the. winter, and looks distressed as he grins
in tile summer, but he is never much dis
tressed about anything. He is down baiting
a fish hole now and is happy in the thought
of how he is going to draw them out. iie
is happier than any town folks will ever
be while the craze to follow fashion and to
make money is at such a tension.
A good Jones county friend writes me
that he and friends of his tried my cat
racket on the crows in his section, and tlmt
it would not work. He says that our plan
may do for our crows, but that it will not
work in Jones. I am mighty sorry about
this, as some of his friends seem to take
it as a joke on themselves. 1 am sure it
was intended as no juke, as it works well
on DeKalb county mows, but I will state
a circumstance that happened to me and
Brown, just to show how these things do
change in different localities. A Jobes
county man came along one day while me
and Brown were both bandaged up from
the kicks of a mint cow we had. This
Jones county man knew exactly how to
keep a cow from kicking—oh, yes, sure. He
gave us the recipe and the next morning
we proceeded to use it with great faith.
Brown field the cow by the nose and one
horn Hll I had run a strong leather strap
around her and buckled it tight just in
front of the Jeg. When I had finished my
buckling I hollered to Brown to lei her go.
and she went. She never did kick any
more after that—she killed Tierseif and
'’one mightv near 'leaning out the Brown
and Rluhkeit ’amiUcs. t< o. Right through
the fence she plunged, kicking with both
feet, to turn anti plunge through another
panel to get back into the lot. Rails flew
and her feet, too, and me and Brown didn’t
know what to do, but we were mighty ac
tive. T have never seen the Jone* county
man from that day. to this, but If he was
in the crowd at the crow hunt, tell him we
are even. Locality nw a d'p-f-p-p e ’

Mrs. Ju, wife of the Chinese minister,
was presented to Mrs. Cleveland a few days
ago by Mrs. Gresham. Mrs. Ju wore it mag
nificent costume and had her cheeks done
a bright magenta, instead of having the
coloring delicately diffused, according to the
American Custom.
M. Roux, a French physician, recommends
as a cure for colds the inhalation of cologne
water poured on a handkerchief—by the
nose if the cold is in the head, by the mouth
if the cold is on the chest—and cites aston
ishing cures by this simple remedy—a lit
tle one for a scent.
I’rivate Secretary Thurber is making a
scrapbook, its contents will concern him
self exclusively. He is a subscribe ' to a
clipping bureau and carefully scans every
newspaper line that is written about him-
self. It is hinted that he rejects those
which refer to his personal vanity.
Uncle Russell Sage says he isn’t worrying ,
about that $125,000 he lent the trustees of I
Talmage’s Brooklyn tabernacle three years
ago; he is secured by a mortgage on the
property and a policy on Talmage s lite.
But they promised to pay him 5 per cent in
terest, and to pay him regularly. He has
not seen a dollar of their money yet, and
he thinks It’s about time he did.
Congressman Breckinridge, of Kentucky,
has a sad way of speaking when he wishes j
to be impressive. His voice sounds as if
filled with tears and he speaks along in a '
cronihg style. This style of oratory he al- :
ways uses in the last part of his speech. .
Torn Reed came into the house the other :
day while Breckinridge was winding up a
speech and listened for a moment. Then
he turned to General Cogswell and saiu;
"Can you tell me the name of the de
ceased ?”
Rourke Cockran has the greatest voice in
either house of congress. It is the loudest
and strongest, and would be the most mu
sical if he did not so soon become hoarse
with excitement. It fills the hall of the
house as no other voice does. Cockran will
be forty on the last’ day of February, but
he looks, except for the thick growtn of
hair on his head, almost as old as his chum.

AN INTOLERANT TEXAS DESPOT
Im Lectured in Liberality by Rev. Dr.
J. it. Hnwtborne.
Recently Rev. J. B. Cranflll, the candidate
of the national prohibition party for vice
president of the United States, in the last
election, wrote an article for his own paper,
Tiie Baptist Standard, in which he con
demned Governor Northen for appointing
Hon. Patrick Walsh to succeed General
Colquitt in the United States senate. He
claims that a protestant governor could
not consistently appoint a Roman Cath
olic. Tiie following letter from Dr. Haw
thorne is a reply to Mr. Cranflll;
■Atlanta, Ga..’ April 14, DUi.—Rev. J. L.
I’ramiii, Euitor Laptist Standard, vVaco,
Texas Dea- Brother: The many friends
jf Governor W. J. Ncfrthen deeply regret
your recent unkind criticism of lus otlKia-1
conduct in the appo ntinent of lion, i at
rick Walsh to 1:11 the unexpired term or
the late General Colquitt In the United
States senate, if you were a Georgian,
and understood the stuation as (veil as
those of us who live here, you woulo net
censure Governor Nortnen for tiie appomt
jnent. I do not believe that Mr. Walsh s
application was supported by a single k.o- !
man Catholic In Georgia. He was rei
mended chiefly by Baptists and Metho-
'"Mr. Walsh ts a Roman Catholic, but

representing the Augusta district m con
gress. There is no more unconiprumizmg
HanH’st in America than Mr. 1.-I.u !■;. rie
(Walsh) has been the unswerving iru’nd ot
Governor Northen irorn the beginning of ,
bis pollrtral career to the present, and ;
♦’Vorybotiy knows tluit a more loy<i- Hup i
fist than Governor Northen has never lived >
iii
“What would the people of this country ,
have said if our governor ha<l refused to
apooint Mr. Walsh on religious grounds? :
Would they not have c<. ndeinnt*’] him.
Would he not have violated a princ'sle ■
which is radical in the creed of every true i
Baptist? Tiiis country is not prepared for a I
revival of 'know-nothingism.' I recognize
Mr. Wal.-h’s eminent Illness for the duties
of a senator, and bel'eve that he will serve
the term for which be is appointed to the :
entire satisfaction of tho people of Georgia. |
“This country has never felt the influence
of a purer and more consistent Christum 1
ilf.. than that of W. J. N.-rthen. That is i

Clever Hunting by Hawks.
From The Globe-Democrat.
“I have witnessed many Incidents which !
proved conclusively to me that animal in- •
telligen.ee is not different from human tn- j
telligence in kind, but only in degree,” re- j
marked Joseph W. Symes, of Manchester, ;
England. “For a numbr of years 1 was an
engineer an one of our railroads, and often
wondered at the promptness with which
the hawks took advantage of tho appliances
of modern civilization. I have frequently
seen these hawks fly close behind the train,
near the ground, where they are partly
hidden by the smoke. As the cars thunder
along through the (wins and ineiul ovs.
small birds fly up in tiie air, bewildered by
the noise and approach of the train. The
hawk then dashes among them out of the
smoke and ffksily secures his prey. Should
It. be unsuccessful, it returns to th • w.tke
of another train, and awaits the startling
of another bevy.”
Mississippi's Lawless Element.
