WoMEN's POCKETS. - "Oh, DEAR"
sighed a young woman after exploring
the festoons and furbelows of her new
spring suit with desperate air for some
time, 81 do wish dressmakers would put
in pocket. Or I wish 1 was man.
Bob, how many pockets have you got?
Brother Bob, after some seconds of pro-
found arithmetical effort. answered with
deiberation tinged with sadness, "Well,
let us see; four and three is seven and
four is eleven, but I mean to have
another put in my vest right away, and
an inside one on both sides of my coat
would be handy. Father carries things
sometimes in his hat, but can generally
get along with about dozen pockets.
We submit that pockets are privilege
which must be opened to the sex. The
inconyeniences of feminine attire for
business purposes are sufficiently oner-
Gus without making it barren of pockets.
except that they seem to be put on
wrong side up. Even the ladies' purse
has to be carried in the hand, or is ex-
posed to shallow outside bag with
mouth gaping to the passer-by. We can
scarcely recall woman's right of which
the sex is in more dire need than the
right to pockets. It is a concession
which will not be gained perhaps till
wrung from dressmakers by a campaign
at the ballot-box. But it will have to
come. When it was once decided to
teach women the alphabet, all other ex-
elusive immunities of manhood were
thrown open to her, and in due time
pockets right side out and receptacles
of the current impediments Of immortal
souls shall be devised both to improve
and adorn the attire of womanhood.
What would man be without pockets? =

Boiling a Ham.

How rare it is to find the simple opera
tion of boiling well done! How often we
hear it said of boiled beef or ham, for in
stance, Zine flavor, but so tough" and
how few people know that the toughness
proceeds, in nine cases out of ten, from
quick boiling! In the case of ham that
most abused of all joints, and perhaps the
easiest Of all to cook, your cookery book
probably tells you to boil it slowly for four,
five or six hours, according to size and
people usually interpret this direction
into putting the ham in the pot and let
ting it boil at what is actually a slow gall
lop for the time given while very often,
if entrusted to cook, it boils only at in
tervals. So that it remains on the fire
given number of hours, Biddy thinks the
boiling is done. Ham should not boil
it should merely simmer. A fair sized
ham put on at 10 in the morning, if props
eyly cooked, should be done and tender
by four or five in the afternoon The wa-
ter should be brought to the boiling
point, the pot then set back on the stove
and the water allowed to simmer-but
remember, it must never be below boil
ing point, nor scarcely degree above. The
ham should be turned in the water once
twice during the time it is on the fire.
When sufficiently done the rind should
be stripped from it, and the ham well
busted with sifted bread crumbs, made
by baking slices of bread in slow oven
until they are of a fine golden brown all
through, and dry enough to powder un-
der the rolling pin. Never stick your
ham with cloves; it suggests flies and
spoils the flavor for many tastes. A pref
ty finish is given by dusting it well with
sugar instead of bread, and then passing
a hot knife over it until it has melted and
coated the ham with caramel glaze.
much finer way is to glaze it with strong
meat jelly, or any savory jelly you may
have, boiled down rapidly until it is like
glue, ,itaking great care during this boiling
down process to prevent burning. This
jelly should be brushed over the ham
when cool it makes handsome dish of
plain one.

ChivaIry.

Chivalry What word to conjure
with What visions of glorious deeds,
of glittering pageants, of beautiful wo-
menrise before the Imagination at the
name! Chivalry fourished as distinct
institution while the world was yet
young and it will go on forever awaking
a responsive echo in the hearts of the
young, the generous and the enthusiastic
SO long as lofty deeds shall fascinate or
knightly valor be celebrated in song
P0ets and chroniclers have written much
in praise of chivalry, but no one has
SO fully portrayed its features or re-
produced its vital spirit as Sir Wal
ter Scott. Under the magic spell
of his genius the warriors whose inani-
mate forms slnmber in many Cathedral
crypt, start once more in full panoply into
life and he has faithfully painted both
the true and the false knight. Cervantes
is said to have annihilated chivalry by
his inimitable satire True chivalry cam
not be annihilated unless the love of VAL
or, of generosity, of true nobility could
die out of the human heart. ,Ceryantes
did give the finishing stroke to knight err
rantry, an outgrowth of chivalry Of which
the world was beginning to tire but it is
safe to assert that the highest and noblest
chivalry exists more truly to>day than
even before. When did the rich and
powerful ever concern themselves. as now
they do, for the welfare of their lowlier
brethren The best intelects are de-
voting themselves to the elucidation of
social problems. to the prevention of
crime and suffering, to the care of the
sick and to the providing of homes for
the aged and infrm.

AN OBSTINATE CoURr PHYsIcIAN.-On
the return of King William, from Hol
land, in 1899, says the London Quarterly
ReUiew, be sent for Radcliffe, and, Show
ing him his swollen ankles, while the
rest of his body was annotated, said !:
"What think you of these ?" "Why, tru-
ly." replied Radcliffe, 81 would not have
your Majesty's two legs for your three
kingdoms, which freedom cost him the
Kings favor, and no intercession could
ever recover it. When Anne came to the
throne, the Earl of Godolphin endeayor-
ed in vain to reinstate Radcliffe as first
physician, but the Queen would not be
prevailed on, alleging that Ratcliffe
would only send her word, as he
had done before, that her ailments
were nothing but the vapors." Tie
Queen, however, sent for Kim in her
last illness, when he answered "rhat he
had taken physic and could not come"
The Queen died on the lst of August.
1714, and Radcliffe on the 1st of Novem-
Der following; his death having, it is said,
been hastened by dread OF the populace,
who were ineensed against him for his
neglect of the Queen.
