Cooking Vegetables,

It is surprising what difference there
is in the time required for cooking many
vegetables that have stood day or two
after the picking, as compared with
those which have come fresh from the
garden. For example, peas that are
picked in the morning for use the same
day, can be cooked in about half the
time thai would be needed if the same
peas were kept day or two longer. Be-
sides, the flavor of vegetables that are
cooked while fresh is much superior to
that of those which have stood for some
time.
Ears of green corn that are just filed
will, ifplunged into boiling water as soon
as gathered, cook in ten mimutes,or per-
haps in less time, while the same corn,
if kept for one OF two days, will require
twice as much time for cooking and will
not be so tender and fine favored rs if
cooked at once This is where one hav-
ing a garden of her own has great ad-
vantage of the housekeeper who is
obliged to get her supplies from the
market Eating green peas and corn
in the country spoils one for anything
that can be bought in city market
A piece of cooking soda about the size
of a pea will, if added to quart Of peas
or beans, make them tenderer and pre-
serve the green color 1t should not be
added until the vegetables are halt
cooked--MGriG Pariod, IN Good Hossse-
Keeping.

A New England Girl.

Miss Mary f. wilkins, who lives in
Randolph, Mass, is described by the
Boston Literary World as being petite,
with soft golden hair, blue eyes, and u
color which comes and goes as she
talks She is shy and retiring, hpt is
self-possessed and holds her own in con-
versation, in which her piquancy and
her gift at repartee appear to excellent
advantage. As u writer of stories with
a pronounced New England flavor she
excells to such q degree that competent
critics mention her IN this relation in
connection with Mrs. Stowe and Mrs.
Cooke, while in the line of fanciful verse
her SUCCESS is assured.
