"Delicious shortcake may be made from one pound of best flour, sifted, half a pound of butter, quarter of a pound of auger, quarter of an ounce of rice flour," writes Margaret Macleod Brown iin the January Ladies' Home Journal. "Wash the butter and press it between the folds of a towel to remove all moisture, then put it with the . sugar in an earthen -ware basin and beat it (without in anyway allowing it to become oily) to a light cream, Then add all the flour and the rice flour, and work in grad- ually among the butter and sugar till you can form the mass into a round ball. This process is rahter tedious. And if hurried - the shortcake will not be a success. Place the ball of paste on the tin sheet you intend to bake it on, and flatten it with the knuckles to the desired size ; then roll the top out smoothly ; pinch the edges 'between the thumbs and fingers of both hands into a fanciful pattern. If the cake is to be dec- orated with icing leave the surface perfectly smooth ; but if not, prick it all over with a fork, or strew comfits over it and e few slices of- peel, when preferred that way. Bake in rather a slow oven from one to one and a half hours. • MI VI I I 1111 I I I I IN MN MN !MI I The Reward of Faithfulness. Faithful stewards will be rewarded. A • boy, sixteen, had been vainly seeking em- ployment in a large city. One afternoon he entered I& store and asked as usual: " Can you give me work ?" The proprietor ans- wered "No." Then noticing the despond- ent expression on the boy's face, he said, "If you want to work half an hour, go down stairs and pile up the kindling wood. rit give you 25 cents." All right," ans- wered the youth, and went below. As the •store was closing he came up. "Ah," said the proprietor hastily, Piled the wood? Well, here's your money." No, I'm not through. Pd like to come in the morning and finish," said the youth. The next morning the proprietor glanced into the wood room. The wood was ar- ranged in orderly tiers and the boy was sweeping the room. "Hullo, I didn't en- gage you to do anything but pile up the wood." "Yes, sir; but this needed to be done, arid. I don't expect any pay but my quarter." "Humph !' muttered the pro- prietor, and went to his office. Afterward, handing the young man his el -garter, he said, "Have you any work in view ?" "No sir." " Well then, work for me: IlI give you $6 a week to begin with. Do your work as well as you aid that downstairs and that's all." Fifteen years later the store was twice as large and its superin- tendent was the young boy who began piling wood for twenty-five cents. Faithfulness was his motto. Crops in England, The crop report of the Mark Lane Ex- press of January llth, says the aspect of growing wheat in England is very satisfac- tory. The area is 10 per cent. above that of 1890 ; the ifarmers are dissatisfied with the prices of barley and oats, and therefore it is probable that February and March will witness a larger sowing than usual of spring wheat.
