gases are dealt with.
These hoods have for long time been
built over the large hotel or restaurant
range, and now they are finding their
way into the private kitchen ever the
small range and over the gas stove. Surely
no one thing could be more conducive to
the comfort and health of these working

ton from unpleasant odors that the other
occupants of the house will enjoy.

laboratory worker has right at hand

AS wise as She is Good.

article on ssThat Man: Your Husband, -

whose wife was his private secretary and

matter of fact their mutual affection was
envied by other couples.
Many men, however, like to be dis

one noble woman that became an anna

But a wise woman, again, has another
quality, quite as necessary in friendship
as interest: the quality that some one has

A VICE OF CHILDHOOD.
miss Harrison.s Advice to Mother.


Some one asked Miss Harrison, the SUI
perintendent OF the kindergarten college
in Chicago, what she would do with a
child who told lies.
Miss Harrison does not believe in cor
poral punishment for any offense.
She said: est would depend entirely
upon the sort of lie it was,' Her advice
in substance was this:
Lying is too often treated locally, when
it should be constitutionally treated.
There are almost as many different sorts
of lies as there are different sorts of levers.
For example, exaggeration which comes
from excess of imagination. That is to
be cured by teaching accuracy OF observa-
ton. Make child count all the objects
in the room. Make him hold steadily to
proven facts in everything.
Then there is the lie of egotism, which
is always claiming everything for itself.
Ignore the story. Make it seem not
worth his while.
The lie which denies is the fault of older
people. Punishment has been given ar
bitrarily. That is to be corrected in the
guardian.
The hardest fault to correct in child,
or anyone else, is the deep lie of jealousy
the malicious lie. It always comes from
jealousy, and there seems to be only one
possible remedy. Get the jealous child to
perform some service for the other. Make
him participate in the others life, in some
way become partner as it were, and the
jealousy ceases. A. S. DUANE.

A Stewed Chicken.

A chicken that has reached a greater
age than one year is better stewed than
cooked by any other method. And stewed
chicken when properly prepared is always
relished and enjoyed. In the average
country home chicken is oftener served
: stewed than in any other form, and
stewed chicken is very common dish at
hotels, restaurants and boarding houses.
Yet chicken is rarely stewed as it
should be. And although numerous
recipes are given in cook books for cook
ing chicken in various ways, have not
yet found one that gives the correct
method for stewing chicken.
This is the way in which a chicken
should be stewed:
Cut in pieces a suitable size for serving
before placing it in the pot. Separate the
thigh, leg and wing joints, divide the
breast into not less than four compact
pieces and separate the neck, back, etc.
Place the gizzard, heart, wings and
drum sticks in the bottom of the pot or
kettle, then put in the neck, back and
other bony pieces, reserving the second
joints and breasts for the top.
Use a pint of boiling water for each
full-grown fowl, cover closely, and after
it has steWed q quarter of an hour add a
ee~cAS1ttCOAA04
stirred to a smooth paste with a little
water, to each pint of liquid used in the
stewing kettle.
Keep the kettle simmering INCREASINGLY
until the fowl is tender, which can be as
certained by examining the pieces on the
top. If these pieces are found to be suffic-
iently cooked, those beneath will be also,
as in placing the pieces in the pot or
kettle, those requiring the greatest
amount of cooking were put at the bot
tom, so they would be subjected to the
greatest heat.
z When the fowl has stewed until perfect
ly tender, drain into the bowl all the
liquor or broth from the stewing kettle,
and set the kettle with the pieces OF
chicken undisturbed in it upon the stove
where it will keep warm. If the broth is
too oily skim from it portion of the
grease, then add a spoonful of -four stirred
to smooth paste with a spoonful of sweet
cream or milk, and season sharply with
salt and pepper, as this broth or gravy
must season the entire fowl. After seas
oning the gravy pour it over the chicken
IN the Kettle and simmer gently for about
ten minutes, then serve chicken and gravy
together on the same pla tier.
a chicken one year ole will stew in an
hour, and each year added to the age of
q fowl necessitates an additional hour 5
stewing.

the foreigner is concerned, he may be
dazzled, captivated by the beauty, grace,
intellect and Independent ideas and man

You Can Tell Betrothed People by Their
Rings.
When maiden is betrothed in Ger
many, she is called H'bride'' by her
sweetheart, who addresses her thus until
1t becomes time to call her stwife. -
Immediately upon betrothal, the lovers
exchange rings, which, if the course of
true love runs smooth, are to be worn
ever afterward until death parts them.
The woman wears her betrothal ring on
the third finger of her left hand until she
is married and then it is transferred to the
third finger of her right hand. The hus-
band continues to wear the ring Just as
the wife wore hers when she was bride, -
so that one can tell easily at glance if a
man be or be not engaged as to his affec
tons.

OF the careless American custom of leav-

American Girls and Titles

1t has been said recently that if Amer
lean women continue to marry foreigners
at the rate they have been doing, that not
only will the British peerage soon be
Americanized, but the nobility OF every
other European country as well, writes
Vera Bernardiere in the February Ladies
Home Journal. Have American girls no
higher ambition than this? Ambition is
a great motive power, when directed in
right channels, but when it leads the
American girl to abandon her own coun
try and people, rights, privileges and
ideas, besides all the chances to make
some deserving man in her own country
happy, this So SCALED ambition is mis-
placed, and both she and her family
should be made to realize that it is the
most probable road to matrimonial woe.
American women are so sensible, SO prac-
ticle in many things, but in this very
marriage Question-both as mothers who
have the sacred care of their daughters
interests, and as young women, ambi-
tious to fill an important niche in society
and in the world-they evince lack of
Judgment and foresight.

realistic and unpleasant nature beneath
this highly colored rainbow tissue of her
romantic imaginationl There are but
two courses to pursue-to learn from the
experience of others, or from our own.
The American girl need look no further
than her own country to find the noblest,
the grandest type of manhood on earth!
Here, man respects and honors her
womanhood, is willing to labor and make
sacrifices for her happiness, bids her
cheerfully to be a co-worker, an honored
guest of public life, when occasion de-
mands, and loves her, not for what she
has but for what she is

A WOMAN WARRIOR.
Miss Hannah Smell Was Recognized and
Pensioned.

Miss Hannah Smell Was Recognized and
Pensioned.
There have been many women warriors
in the world, but it must be admitted
that there have been very few whose
deeds were such as to claim the admira-
ton of the country for any great length
OF time. In the annals of woman's war
fare there are generally stories of over
zealousness, leading to fanaticism and
subsequent punishment and disgrace.
Seldom indeed has woman warrior been
gracefully recognized by the government
of her country.
Within the memory of our grandpar-
ents there lived in England a woman
named Hannah Smell, who, when but a
girl, took the strange resolution of en-
listing as soldier. She served as ma
rine on one of the vessels of feet bound
for the East Indies, and showed SO much
courage that she was repeatedly pro-
NOTED. Her sex was unknown, and

therefore it could never be claimed that
Hannah Snell's success was due to par
TALLY or favoritism.
Once, when dangerously wounded, she
extracted the ball herself, fearing that she
might be discovered and discharged. Al
ter long service, she returned to her ma
tive home at Worcester, England, where
her adventures soon became spread
abroad. The government on investigation
of her really great career granted her
pension of EGO. She died full of years and
laden with honors IN an inn near Wap-

Pursuing essentially the same recipe,
the stew can be varied by adding oysters;
mushrooms. truffies, celery, parsley, ETC.,
or by using less water and more cream or
milk. and also by browning the pieces of
chicken in the skillet, either before or
after they are stewed. By these slight
and seemingly unimportant variations
plain stewed chicken can be converted
into chicken sauce, chicken fricassee,
chicken marengo, and so on, until. q
dozen or more different dishes known by
tanclful foreign names can be manufac-
tured from one innocent chicken.
