Cooking Vegetables.

It is surprising what difference there
is in the time re luired 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, pess that are
picked in the early morning for use the
same day, can be cooked in about halt
the time that woull be needed if the
same peas were kept day or two longer.
Besides, the flavor of the 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 filled we'll, if plunged into boiling
water as soon as gathered, cook in ten
minutes, or perhaps in less time, while
the same corn, if kept for one or two
days, will require twice as much time for
cooking mad will not be so tender and
fine favored as if cooked at once. This
is where one having o garden of her own
has q great advantage of the honsekeeper
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 a quart of peas or
beans, make them tenderer and preserve
the green color 1t should not be added
until the vegetable are half cooked

Avoiding Lightning.

If 'K" will follow the rules here given
she will probably get over in some meas.
ure at least her fright during a thunder
storm. Dry low-ly.ng positions are safer
than such as are elevated and exposed.
The close neighborhood Of water courses
should always be avoided. 1t is better
to lie flat upon the ground than it is to
stand or sit. II shelter is near, the indi-
vidual should get at once completely un-
der cover To stand under the lee of q
house, wall, haystack or thicket of trees,
is nSFe dangerous than to remain alto
gether exposed in the open: The inside
of barn or clubhouse, we'll away from
the walls, is comparatively safe. A dis
tance of two or three yards away from
the trunks or branches of trees is COM
paratively safe position; but to lean
against the trunk of tree during the
pre- ;al"nce of thunder storm is espe-
cially dang rous. In the interior OF a
house not adequately protected by
lightning conductor it is best to keep to
the lower rooms during Il thunderstorm,
to remain, as far us it is pra: ticable, in
the middle of the room, to avoid objects
hung from metal chains, gilt frames, fire.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
The Advantages Of Boray.

The washerwomen of Holland and Bel
gium, who get up their linen so beauti'
fully white, use refined borax as wash.
ing powder instead of soda, in the pro-
portion of one large handful of borax
powder to about ten gallons of boiling
water. They thus save in soap nearly
half. All the washing establishments
adopt the same mode. For laces, cam
brics, etc., an extra quantity of the
powder is used, and for crinolines (re-
quiring to be made stiff strong solu-
is necessary. Borax being neutral salt,
does not in the slightest degree inju;e the
texture of the linen its effect is to soften
the hardest water, and, therefore, it
should be kept on every toilet table. To
the taste it is rather sweet; it is used for
cleansing the hair, is au excellent dentri-
frice; and in hot countries is employed
in combination with tartaric acid and
bicarbonate of soda as q cooling bcver-
age. Good tea cannot be made with
hard water: but all water may be made
soft by adding teaspoonful of borax
powder to an ordinary sized kettle OF
water, in which it should boil. The
saving in the quantity of tea used will
be at least one fifth CLsrs'and Leader.

NERVOUSNESS.
A NATIONAL TRAIT DISCUSSED
BY A WOMAN DOCTOR.
Abstracts Of Two Papers Read Be-
fore the Social Science Associ-
alton Best Brain Food
-Vegctarianism, Etc.

Nervousness, said DR.. Grace Peckham,
| of New York, is more and more regarded
as an undesirable characteristic Of our
nation. The idea that we are peculiarly
nervous people is becoming widespread
| this has been fostered by articles written
oa the subject, 80 that in the last ten
years ''1ervous" has become almost a
household word. The question arises,
are Americans more nervous than other
nations of the same grade of civilization,
and if so, what are the means of ovcrcom-
ing such condition. 1t is usual to at
tribute much to climate. While doubtless
it has influence, it should BIZ remembered
that in the United States every climate
except the extremes of the equator and
the poles is experienced. Setting aside
heat and cold, the dryness and the elec-
tr;cal cond tiors of the atmosphere are
the two factors which are said to act
upon the nerves unfayorable. Such a
sup position is extremely hypothetical
and can not be proven. 1t is, however,
plain that the dry atmosphere of Colo
RADIO, the typical dry climate, acts favor
ably upon people suffering from nervous
exhaustion.
The fact that climate is not a promi-
nent influence is shown mot conclusively
by the condition of those towns which
are found apon either side of these lines
prominent upon the map, though invisi-
ble to the eye, which separate the nited
States from Canada on the North and
Mexico on the South. The inhabitants
of places within an arrow shot of each
other exhibit the contrasting national Pc
culiarities. A stirring Texan town, with
all the enterprise and "go" of America
can be seen on one side of the dividing
river, while on the other is the Mexican
Spanish town with its sleepy inhabitants
with their customs of 200 years ago un-
disturbed.
To avoid nervousness we should pay
more attention to hygiene, not indulge in
hurry and excitement, take physical and
outdoor exercise to develop the physique
and educate tho children and the people
out of this notion that because one is an
American he or she must perforce be
nervous.
1t is the loss of the governing power,
the will, which allows an increased re-
Aex action unchecked. unhindered,
which is characteristic of the nervous,
and has given to the word its modern
definition of Weakness, while proper
display Of controlling, impelling, inhib-
itiug impulses, according to their nature,
gives the old-timc signihcation of
strength and force. There is no reason
in the extcrnals which surround Ameri-
cans, if they properly understand them
selves and regulate their desires, their
methods of living their education, why
the nervousness which has been at
tributed to them should not be glory
rather tEan a stigma.

DIET AND DINING.

The main constituents of our food,
said DR.. Wallace Wood, are these: l..
The albuminoids or ntrogenous material
Of meat, fish, eggs and cheese. 2. The
carbohydrates or sugars and starches sup
piled by bread and vegetables. 3. The
fats. The aim of the chemist has been
twofold: first, to get these three great
nutritive elcmcnts-mcat, starch and fat
in the most concentrated form posi-
BILE: second 10 digest the concentrations
.artiGcially before introducing them into
the economy.
Vcgetarianism as q doctrine has had
its day. The vegctariaA diet is properly
a cure. 1t is useful as change, and is
cure for one form of dyspepsia, for
gout, billiousness; may be tried with
advantage in summer TO counteract the
evil elect of too much good living in
winter.
The milk diet or dairy fare is return
to nature by another path. Few patients
arriving at Bellevue arc put exclusively
upon milk. The organism much reduced
comes down to first principles and be-
gins life over again.
The third rc.ource for the sick is the
albuminous or nltrogenous diet, the pa
ticnt being fed almost exclusively on
meat. Such is the diet for the reduction
OF corpulencc, the diet in diabetes, 1t is
sometimes recommended for gout.
One Of the most important questions
of tile day is what is the best brain food.
The most conspicuous component of brain
and nerve is lccithin, phosphoric fat.
Fat aud fish are the foods indicated.
Lean meat not only does not supply what
is required, but clogs the system with
eIctc aibuminous matter. Let brain
workers live on bread and butter, with
FISH, milk, cream and vegetables.
A grand dinner is q complicated affair
and Las been evolved by ages of civiliza-
ton an culture. Primitive races cat
whatever they can get and whenever
they can get it. Nomadic tribes with
nccks aud herds establish regular meals
and discover the oldest gastronomic
combination, bread and meat. The
peasantry OF civil ed nations combine
dishes together to form the "square
meal" say meat and potatoes, with q
relish, and bread and butter. Cultured
people gradually come to add two courses
to this square meal, one at the end to aid
digestion, the other at the beginning of
the preliminary course or gusto to whct
the appetite. But the height is reached
in the grand symposium or banquet of
nine courses: /. Hors d'Guvre. 2.
Potage. 5. Poissin. 4. Releva. 5.
Entree. 6. Roti. 7. Entrem:ts. 8.
Sucrec. 0. Dessert. Nine courses ex-
elusive of punches and coffee! Nine
meals in one! Indigestion, gout and

doctor.
That the national dict of England is

FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS.

Some persons can see thirteen one
even fourteen-stars in the Pleiades,
though ordinarily but six are visible to
the naked eye.
Some oak timber, which in 1924 had
served for 3G4 years for roof beams in an
English church, is still doing duty as q
seat in fa-Eers kitchen.
A Ayoug hian living near Quincy, Ill,
has eight fingers on his left hand and has
the use OF every finger. He has no
thumb on his hand. His ri.ght hand is
perfect.
A clock pendulum at Avignon, France,
the longest known. measures sixty-seven
feet, carries weight of 112 pounds, and
swings through an arc Of between nine
and ten feet in four and one.half
seconds.
The widest shaving ever made by q
wood working ma lime was recently
placed on exhibition in store in Win
chendon, Mass. 1t was forty-two inches
wide, several feet long, and of uniform
thickness.
Eels to the value of three-quarters OF
q million dollars are consumed annually
in England. The consumption amouLts
to about !, $50 tons year, and of this
amount Holland sends 1000 tons, and
Ireland sends 500. Germany sends nearly
all the rest. The native eel doesn't seem
to be relished.
To nearly all Europe, outside Of Ro-
man law, it was natural once to deter
mine title to real estae, or question
of law and evidence, or matters of mort
gage or debt or questions concerning SER.
vice or slavery, or the guilt of criminal
charge, or innumerab!e simi ar questions,
by single combat, as it is now by juries,
courts and arbitration.
From Charlotte, N. c., comes the story
that citizen of that place lately visited
nest where goose was busily engaged
Matching out eggs and was just in time
to kill blacksnakc which was coiling it
self around the bird. His snaLeship had
swallowed the eggs. He was cut open,
and the eggs, being found nnbroken,
were placed Under the goose, which
hatched them into goslings, which all
had blood-red eyes and died in four days.
There is as great a difference in the
material as in the form of the pyramids.
As early as the third dynasty, King
Asychis built pyramid of what Herod-f
otus termed Nile mud; that is to say
of sun-dried bricks. Beside this pecu-
liarity of material it is of unusual con-
struction, not ha ing been built imme-
diately upon the natural ground, but
standing on thick layer of sand, which,
enclosed by retaining walls, forms an ex-
cellent Foundation.
A st. Louis harness dealer has on exhi-

is simply cushion or pad of vulcanized
rubber covering the frog of the hoof,
and held in place by the horseshoe in an
ingenious manner. II cities where there
is any great quantity of asphalt pave

duces to the minimum the conclusion

Sacred SerDents.

The small town of Wcrda, in the King.
dom of Dahomey,is celebrated for its TEN
pie o., Serpents, long building, in which
the priests keep upward OF thousand
serpents of all kinds, which they feed
with the birds and frogs brought TO them
as offerings by the natives. These SER
pents. many of them of enormous size,
may be seen hanging from the beams
across the ceiling, with their heads hang
ing downward, and in all sorts Of strange
contortions. The priests make the small
serpents 90 through various evolutions
by lightly touching them with rod, but
they do not venture to touch the largest
ones, some of which are big enough to
enfold bullock in their coils. 1t often
happens that some of these serpcnts make
their way out of the temple into the
town, and the priests have tie greatest
difficulty in coaxing them back. To kill
serpent Intentionally is crime pun
ished with death, and if European were
to kill one the authority OF the King
himself would scarcely su ice to save his
life. Any one killing serpent unin.
tentionally must inform the priest OF
what has occurred and go through the
course of publication which takes place
once year.

Some Famous Kisses.

In the Midsummer Nights Dream
Shakespeare calls the lips "those kissing
treasures" Titan;a "kisses the fair,
large ears of her gentle JOY" and seems
to take much pleasure in it, while further
on come the quaint kissing of Pyramus
and Thisbe through the chinks of Tinker
Snont's fingers. There is the kiss Of
Petruchio:
'sHe took the brid, about the neck.
And kissed her lips with such clamorous
smack.
That, at the parting, all the church did
echo"
Then, there is Romeo's kiss in the vault
so tender and sad, and Othel!o's farewell
kisses that almo:t did persuade Justice
to break her sword, and Antdony's dying
kiss: =
"Of so many thousan kisses, the poor last
I lay upon thy lips"
And the grand kiss of Coriolanus:
"Long as my exile, sweet as my revenge"
And Rassanio and Portals kiss, full of
such wealth and loyalty of love.
Byron's wi,h
"That womanhood had but one rosy mouth
To kiss them all ct once from north to
south"
Does not particularly commend itself to
the connoisseur Of kissing.
Leigh Hunt says:
''Stolen sweets are always sweeter,
Stolen kisses much completer."
One OF the most famous kisses in his
tory is that of Georgianna, Duchess of
Devonshire, when she was eanvassing
for Fox's election. A butcher said he
would vote for Fox if the lady would
kiss him, which she thereupon did,
thereby making the kiss, the butcher
and herself imnorta! in history. The

Slackville would hardly believe the
news when the choir came buck. That
the famous cantatricc, Signora Belloni,
should have sojourncd in their midst rs
"Miss Bell' seemed an impossibilitv;
that she should have washed Mrs. Dodd 8
dishes, and driven "Clover" and "Spot-
tic' home in the autumn twilights, was
simply incredible.
"Of course my uame isn't Belloni, the
brilliant vocalist afterward told Mrs. Dodd
-''nothing on earth but good, honest

months entire rest before Iappeared in
concerts again; and where could l get
such rest as your fam has afforded? 1t

UnnOticed Dangers.

Mr.. LIE Roy F. Griffin, in the Chicago
Current, comments very sensibly oa
household dangers as follows:
'.Far too many houses, both in city and
country, are positively dangerous. Many
city houses stand on made land, or at
least that which was formerly swampy.
The foundation walls, when there are any
for houses often stand on posts alone
Arc built of solid masonry, but with no
cement either outside or in. Such walls
are porous, and soak up water nearly MS
rapidly as a sponge. Then it slowly
trickles down the inside, emitting mala-
ria, forming fine soil in which all man.
ner of fungoid growths flourish. The
rooms over such places are irst-class dis
ease breeders, and every home should be
frequently examined to see that this
source of danger does not exist.
"Then, drain pipes often leak in the
cellar and basement. This adds to the
danger to the rooms above. The two
fendS, stagnant water from the sewers
and the water filtering slowly in through
the walls, work in concert to sap the life
of the little ones, and to fit them to yield
to the first disease.
s'Thc walls of the rooms themselves, in
far too many houses, are disease breeders.
A neat and tasty paper upon the wall
makes room inviting and adds to the
home comfort. But, unfortunately, even
when the paper is made free from poison
and gooi paper can be so made-the
paste with which it is attached is just
the home for the minute organisms which
produce certain diseases. This is bad
enough where there is only single layer
of paper; but when, as is often the case,
several layers of paper and paste are
spread upon the same wall, outside OF
one another, the danger is multiplied
many times. Such walls are really masses
of fostering filth. The best wall is, un.
doubtedly, the plain plastered wall.
GAIL cases like these demand caution.
Those who are responsible for the homes
cannot be too careful. The health, often
the life, of loved ones, children particu.
larly, depends upon rigid exclusion OF
all these lurking places of disease and
breeders of death. Beauty should be-,
and is, consistent with perfect safety in
the home"

A Mean Little Mule.

Mark Twain and I were riding across
Missouri once, when our horses broke
down. We stopped at Hannibal and |
got good large horse, but Mark could
not find anything better than little
mule. Well, we left Hannibal and soon
came to a creek much swollen by late
rains. Mark told me to go first, which /
did. It deepcncd rapidly and my big
horse was soon swimming. hal the
reins of Marks mule, and, looking back,
could barely see the mules head, and
the wafer was well around Marks shoul
ders. After little trouble we reached
the other side. Mark sat on his mule
moment, when, without word, he dis.
mounted, and, coming to my side, laid
his hand on my knee, and looking earn
estly in my face said: "George, I be.
lieve that mean little mule waded every
step across."-A Trauslsr, IN Chieag'
