was discharged and q bullet smashed

is little plumpness."

and a wholesome one.

due to fat, and nearly all of a

HOUSEHOLD MARKETING.

Stick to Ono Dealer Provided IIc Trents
You Fairly.
1t is best to keep to one dealer, after
you have decided which is best, to
have your butcher, your poultcrcr, and
your vegetable and fruit man. They
will all take greater interest in supply
ing a regular customer at reasonable
rates than one who only buys Of them
occasionally, especially if you always
pay ready money. In buying beef
there are few rules to remember:
Bullock beef is the best to buy. 1t
should be fine-grained, the lean with
strcalls Of clean, WITHHOLDING fat run
ming through it and of bright red
color. Unless there is enough fat the
meat will be tough. Cow beef is paler
than OK beef, SO you can tell it in that
way; it is not SO nutritious; but if the
meat is of n very dark red it is too old.
To test beef, press it down with the
thumb; if it rises quickly the meat is
good For soup meat get the shin-bone
and few pounds of the round. Soup
meat should have as little fat as pos
sible. The best beef for beef tea is
from the round. Mutton should be
dark colored and have plenty of fat
In choosing poultry see that they
have smooth legs and short spurs; the
male birds are best. The feet should
always bend easily and the eyes should
be bright. If a fowl has begun to turn
blue, or if it has stiff legs, it is not good.
In selecting fish the body should be
stiff and the gills red; if not, it is not
fresh. In buying vegetables get good
dealer and have them fresh, as stale
vegetables arc unhealthy. Asparagus
and peas. and also green beans, should
be eaten on the day they are bought,
and for the following day use those
more easily kept, such as onions, cauE-
flower, cabbage, ctc.-N. Y. Tribune.

The Medicinal Use of Eggs.

1t may not be generally known that
there is nothing more soothing for
either burn or a scald than the white
of an egg. 1t is contact with the air
which makes n burn so painful, and the
egg acts as varnish and excludes the
air completely and also prevents in
hammation. An egg beaten up lightly
with or without little sugar is a good
remedy in cases of dyscntcry and diar-
rhea. 1t tends by its cmollicnt qualities
to lessen the Inflammation, and by
forming transient coating for the
stomach and intcstincs gives those or
gans chance to rest until nature shall
have assumed her hcalthful sway over
the diseased body. Two, or mt the most
three, eggs Il day would be all that
would be required in ordinary cases,
and since the egg is not only medicine
but food the lighter the diet otherwise,
and the quictcr the patient is kept, the
more rapid will be recovery.

ionable view point, though this by per-
sons who are thoroughly sane is not
held to afford any important outlook.
From the fashionable standpoint the
pattern cannot be admitted, because it
is only when II thing has ceased to be n
novelty that it gets round to the pattern
makers.
There is next the artistic standpoint.
and from this vantage ground also the
pattern is 1ioutcd, because it deals only
with the needs and the tastes of the
average woman, and the average WON
an, as we all know when we stop to
think about her or to look for her,
doesn't exist. We are each and every
one of us individuals. The pattern is
Philistinic and conventional.
There is, last of all, the common
sense standpoint, and common sense
being n Philistinc and being usually
conventional, stretches out both hands
in cordial welcome to the pattern be-
cause it is convenient, and the con-
venience of convenience in this world is
not to be denied.
The pattern has therefore the best of
the controversy, because few people
care much about art and everybody

that is to say, right way to use pat

This right way is not to follow it,
Rather make it follow you. The Critic
has been talking endlessly about the
absence of the creative faculty in
women, but the handiest cudgel it
could have picked up for the blows it
has been dealing it has let lie unnoticed;
that cndgel is the pattern. Because
women copy it, copy it as the Chinese

patches, breaks, stains and all.
fou buy pattern for an idea in it;
the general shape or fashion of draping
suits your figure. There are, then, two
possible lines of action; one would be
taken by the ideal woman, the other is
taken by the real woman. The ideal
woman would let the pattern be to her
