The Oatmeal Question.

You can get all the opinions you want
on both sides Of a question, nowadays
Oatmeal had not long been reputed to be
a healthful food when some physician
arose to denyit and to assert that it pro.
duced dyspepsia. Allowance is always to
be made in such question for the varia-
tions Of human stOmachs and constitu-
lions, SO that what may be a good food
for one person may not be for another
The truth about oatmeal for the general
ity OF persons (and they are the only per-
sons you can speak for) is that if it is
eaten in only q partially cooked condi-
ton, it is not healthful; and neither is
-four, cornmeal and many other articles
OF food. Indigestion and acidity of stom-
ach are causedfor some people by the eat
ing OF sugar or other sweets on oatmeal,
and they get the same effect if they eat
these sweets on rice or bread. Cream, too,
may be too much fatfor sensitive stom
ach, if put on oatmeal. In these cases it
is not the oatmeal but either it is INSULT
Gent preparation or the addition of an
improper food that causes the stomach
trouble. Ii a person will eat moderate
amount OF oatmeal, cooked and prepared

Some Questions.
Editor Household Department:

| Editor Household Departments:
Will you tell me what ''Bonille Beef" is,
and "a Ia Mode Beef? Also the best
ways of cooking rice and okra? [ think
! these are all favorite Southern dishes, and
as have decided to make my home here
in Florida, want to become expert in
cooking them.
Now that am asking questions, will
you or any Of your readers tell me what
Cabbage la Milanaise'' is?
will give you my old Northern way Of
making plain rice pudding. Perhaps it
may not be as nice as that made by my
Southern sisters, but it is very good.
| take one tablespoonful of dry rice for
quart of milk, one of sugar, and one
heaping teaspoonful of -four. boil the
rice in little water until soft, saltingit
little; then | moisten thefour with little
water, and with one well beaten egg, and
q few bits of butter, stir into the rice and
milk. | then pour into a pudding dish,
CRATE nutmeg over the top and
sit into the oven. AS soon as the skin
forms on the top, I stir it with spoon.
doing this several times while baking
When the pudding is baked it will be
creamy. have sometimes made my pud-
dings without first boiling the rice and
without an egg, the whole cooking being
done inthe oven. 1t takes longer and a
slow fire, but it is nice and creamy though
very plain. Mrs. E. O. S.

Will some of our readers reply to our
correspondents questions, as well as give
their best ways of cooking rice, okra and
other Southern vegetables? Weshould be
glad to publish them in these columns.

The secret in making good hash is in
having excellent materials for making it,
some good gravy, or butter if the meat
is not rich, and above all having it
thoroughly cooked and come on to the
table very hot. Half cold hash, served
in q cold dish, is an abomination.
There are several other kinds of home
hash. flashes made of cold turkey and
chicken are very nice. These can be i'm
proved by q little chopped boiled ham
and little rice substituted for the pota-
to. OF course we common people can also
serve this on triangular pieces OF delicate
ly Drowned toast, lavishly buttered
crowned with pOached egg on top and
garnished with sprigs of parsley and call
it "a Ia Delmonico hash" if we want to.
From all this discourse on hash we are
led to think of what might be called hash
outside of all culinary matters. Did you
ever notice q newspaper article, an ad
dress, or even q sermon sometimes, pur
porting to be original and full of new ideas,
very palatable and grecdily devoured,
and yet twas nothing but hash-a made
dish-made up Of odds and ends of other
peoples ideas. Then somebody would
take it up, add a thought or two, and it
would be re-hash, of course.
There is vast deal of this kind of hash
in the world The majority Of people are
quite content to let other people do their
own thinking; they take it second, chop
it up, season it and make it over and call
it new But, is there anything new in
thought? 1t is only in the art of putting
things that it seems new, so that we
may safely say that the worlds thinking
is nothing more than mental hash after
all.

A sideboard scarf of blue denim was
embroidered on each end with grapes
done i'll solid work and their leaves in long
and short stitch. This embroidery was
white, and the scarf was finished on three
sides with heavy guipure lace.
A pillow was made of brown denim,
with an all-over design of oranges with
leaves done in color. The oranges were
embroidered in rich orange, and the
leaves in dark olive-green. A cord of
brown, orange and green finished the pill
low.
This denim may also be used for dra-
peries and portieres, for dining room or
chamber, and it's firmness and durability
will make it a satisfactory material on

All About Hash.
BY MRS. ]. II. FARR
SAN MATEo,


We find in Webster's dictionary that
this word "hash'' is constituted irregular
legitimate word. The correct definition
and spelling is given, audit is therefore
entitled to some respect, however derisive-
ly some may speak OF this plain, UMPIRE
tentious dish.
In our culinary vocabulary, we are free
to say that it does not, as usual thing,
occupy a high place among the specially
dainty dishes which the housewife takes
pride in making, but for all that, this
rather plebeian dish can be made one
of the most appetizing and satisfactory
bits of cookery imaginable
Do you know that this really excellent
dish has been lifted out GIFTS plebeianism,
and is really very popular in aristocratic
circles? 1t has not been done by giving
it some unpronounceable, Frenzy name,
either, but just hash, the old-fashioned
homely word hash!
But this is where it may be found, the
way it is made, and why it is so popular
even with millionaires and "tony" peo-
pie, who probably remember what hash
was when they themselves were once hun
cry little urchins, like the majority OF
children.
Now they call for hash at Delmonico's,
rei exactly Ike the hash that fingers in
el' fish memories, but for a con
y bit d poetry for. which they pay

aigately Drowned, lavishly
aas re crust all trimmed off
M eat id, fancy shapes. On

cached egg, and bits of golden
he whole garnished with parsley
ne d ash is made OF is doubtless a
nico secret; probably it is good,
st hash, for hash is not always
Lon ost. At any rate it seems to be the
fav' rite dish chosen by one of the most
famous men in the United States albeit
an editor and millionaire, who, it is said,
pays salary to his French cook equal
to the salary of congressman, and yet
it is hash that he wants and must have
at any price.
Somebody has said that there are three
kinds of hash, boarding school hash,
boarding house hash, and homemade
hash, and speaks derisively of all except
the latter. In days gone by, recall
time when a lady friend OF abundant
means, boarding at popular hotel, said
to me: 81 am SO tired of this never vary
ing round OF hotel dishes; how long for
some old-fashioned homemade hash!'
SO it was agreed that she should satisfy
her longing at my supper table, when we
should have just hash, coffee, new bread
and butter and currant Jelly. Though
say it as oughtn't, the hash was great
ly praised, not only by word of mouth,
but by deeds of the same, and the enjoy
ment of the simple meal often spoken of

If YOU are going west bear in mind the follow.
ing facts: The Northhrn Pacific Railroad owns
and operates 987 miles, or 81 yer cent OF the ep-
tire railroad mileage Of Montana; spans the
Territory with it's mair. line from east to west;
is the short line to Helena; the only Pullman
and dining car line to Butte. and is the only line
that reaches Miles City, Billings. Bozeman, Mis-
so1lla, the. Yellowstone National Park and, in
fact. nine-tenths of the cities and points of iE-
terest in the Territory.
The Northern Pacific OWLS and operates 621
miles, or IS per cent Of the railroad mileage OF
Washington its main line extending from the
Idaho line via Spokane Fails, Cheney, spraEue,
Yakima and Ellensburg. through the centre OF
the Territory to Tacoma and Seattle, and from
Tacoma to Portland. No other rans-contlnentai
through rail line reaches any portion OF WASH
ington Territory. Ten days stop over privileges
are given on Northern Pacific second class tick
cts at Spokane Falls and all points west, thus
affording intending settlers an excellent oppor-
t1uity to see the entire Territory without incur
ring the expense of paving local fares from point
to point.
The Northern Pacific is the shortest ronte
from ST Paul to Tacoma by 207 miles: to Seattle
by TIT miles, and to Portland by S4 intestine
correspondingly shorter, VARYING from one to
two DAYS, according to destination. No other
line from St. Paul or Minneapolis runs through
passenger cars Of any kind into Idaho, Oregon
or Washington
In addition to being the only rail line to Spo-
