At first sifrht, and despite; the smoking chim- ney of the enjriiie-hoU'-e, despite a crawlinjr line of trucks upon the rails, the place looks so little alivc that the clattering and chipping sound which nils the air calls for explanation. It requin-s an expert eye instajitly to pick out the grey lig-iircs against the face of the gicy cliff- -at limes hang- ing from ropes, at other times astride upon iron pegs, or seemingly glued to inaccessible kdges. The place is, in fact, a human ant-hill, and lliat mo- notonous "chip, chip" the only audible voice of those creeping, sprawling, dangling creatures. John M'Donnell had no need to strain his eyes after those figures on the cliff; nor would his head have swum at the I'lul of any of those dangling ropes, or on the extreme edge of the abyss, into which the heart j of (he amphitheatre abruptly descend- I eil, and In the depths of which a min- jiature lake of dark-green water mark- ' cd the base of the oldest working in the iiuarry, Man and boy, he had j known it all for close upon a (|Uartcr of a <-entury; just us his fathers be- I fore him, and the fathers of all Wis j fellow-workers had known it for a I space of two centuries back â€" ever since a certain memorable and bloody [ day in the annals of the M'Donnells, I which, W'ith one fell swooi, had put an ! end to the original industry of an en- I tcrprisine clan .

The neighbors had boriip much ; yet there dawned the day when they Would bear no more; and upon that day the wrongs of several generations had been washed in the blood of the M'Donnells- -but not washed clean â€" since in what is sufficiently described as "The Ma.ssacre," pure and simple, treachery grinned broadly behind the politi<-al mask <lonned for the occasion. It was that memorable moment which gave birth to the .Xrdbx'k slate- i|uarries.

The shrinkage of the v\'ool, which is also necessary, can be done at the same time. The best way to do this is: Tie the skeins together so that they will not snarl, then put in basin and cover with boiling water; if no dye comes out, let the wool remain until the water is cold, then hang up and let drip until dry. Of course, if the dye comes out, keep changing the hot water until it becomes colorless. -^ OH 'uf^i^ TRIAL Jfme^ucam: 00 CREAM SEPARATOR ASOLID PROPOSITION to lend fl«w, well inui*, t»»y runoinir.

Hot Cakea For Tea. ; Oven .Scones â€" Two pounds flour, ' two teaspoonfiils of baking powder, three ounces shortening, two ounces suicar, two ounces currants, one eKg, i one pint sour milk, pinch of salt. Kub the shortening into the flour aiul bak- ing powder, which have been sifted to- gether; then Hilil the salt, sugar, cur- ants, well-beaten egg and milk. Stir into a soft dough that will not stick to the liands and divide into four pieces. Roll each into a ball, then flatten out into :. round cake about an inch thick. Cut cross into four triangle.s, thus making sixleon scores. When lisen in the oven and partly baked brush over with beaten egg, i.p water, dust with powdered or granulated sugar and finish the baking. These take a lit- tle more than half an hour lo cook aa a rule and should be split while hot and buttered. Serve at once. They can, however, be reheated or eaten cold. Cream Sconen. â€" Sift together two level cups of flour, three level tea- spoons of baking powiler and half level teaspoon of salt. .\(ld '4 cup of butler and work into the flour thoroughly with the linger tips, or cut in with two knives. Heat two eggs well, add 'ii cup of cream, and add slowly lo the flour, mixing with a , knife to a dough. Lightly roll the dough out to about ',i inch in thick- j ties.i, cut into diamond or triangular j shapes, and bake in a hot oven twelve to fiftfeii minutes. Soda Scones. â€" One pound flour, one ' leuspooiiful soda, one-half leuspoon- fiil eream id' tartar, pinch of salt, ono- [half pint of buttermilk or sour milk. Mix the ingredient J to a soft dough, roll out to a half inch thick and cut into rounds with a cookie cutter. Heat the griddle, grease a little and cook the scones. When one sitle is brown turn the other until both are a good even color, then split open, butter, and serve at once. Huttcrmilk Scones. â€" Take one pound of flour, one teaspoonful of salt, about half a pint of buttermilk or milk, one small lea.vpoonful of soda, one small teaspoonful <if cream of tar- tar. Mix all the dry ingredients to- gether and add enough butermilk to make a light dough, which should bo turned on to a floured board and quickly kneaded until it is smooth. I^ress the dough into a round cake and divide crosswise into scones, which should not bo much more than a quar- ter of an inch in thickness. Bake the scones in a nulck oven, then split ihem open, butter and ser\'e. The sconea may be cooked on a griildle, and if this is done tiiey should be turned once. Soda Muffins. â€" Two cups of flour, two leaspoonfuls of cream of tartar, one teaspt)onful of .^oda, half pint of warm milk, one tablespoonful of oil ed butler, one tablespoonful of Hugar, pinch of salt, one egg. Beat the egg lightly, yolk and white separately, add the warm milk, salt, sugar and oiled butter. Take the flour and mix into it the cream of tartar, soda and the other ingretiients; stir into a smooth, soft dough. Bake in the oven in small round tins, well greased, or in sponge- cake tins; cook from twenty to thirty minutes. Split open and butter hot. Plain Tea Cakes. â€" When bread is baked at home it is a good plan to take a pound or more of the dough after it has risen and rub into it two ounces of butter, laril, or even drip- ping, and perhaps a beaten egg; then leuve it to ri.^e again. Then bake in shallow round tins, and butter hot as soon as it comes from the oven, or keep for another day, toast brown and butter. Apple Cake.â€" One pound of flour, six ounces of lard, one teaspoonful baking powder, three ounces of brown sugar and six apples. Rub the lard into the flour and baking powder, add the sugar and the apples, peeled, cored and chopped the size of currants. Mix into a rather dry patte with a beaten egg andm ilk, or water is more convenient, and hake in a greased tin to the depth of one and a half inches, till nicely browned on top- -about half an hour. Cut in .strips and aervc hot with or without butter.
