WHOLESOME COOKING.
Il IL Essential to the Well Being of Every
Member OF the Household.

HI IL kbecntiaA 20 the Ot EVoEy
Member OF the Household.
Cooking is in reality partial diges-
ton of food previous to its introduce
ton into the stomach. 1t is employed
by man alone, and distinguishes him
from all other creatures.
Many articles used as food are entire
ly indigestible in raw state. Some of
the most nourishing of them are actu-
ally harmful if eaten uncooked.
Cooking, to be esteemed science,
must be performed in such O way as to
render the raw products of the earth
as easily digested as possibly. BY vir-
tue of such preparation the system is
supplied with the greatest amount OF
nourishment for the least expenditure
of vital energy in the various processes
of the digestive chemistry.
But good cooking must not only
render food digestible; it must make it
at the same time palatable. Every
physician recognizes the necessity of
furnishing a convalescing patient with
food that tastes good" Indeed, he
will often allow himself to be over
ruled by the wish of the patient for
some particular article of food, in the
hope that the tickle appetite may thus
be stimulated and steady demand for
food induced.
Cooking at its best, therefore, is both
scientific and artistic; scientific when il
best serves the purposes of economy;
artistic when by virtue of an added
usefulness. it stimulates the digestive
processes to activity.
1t must always be remembered that
the stomach is not machine, but an
organ extremely sensitive to every
nervous influence, so that the tasteful.
ness of food is direct aid to digestion
Those, who. from the necessity Of
their occupation, are sedentary and
confined to the house, are more sensi-
tive 70 the effects Of cooking whole.
some or otherwise-than those whose
employment takes them out of doors.
The degree Of health enjoyed by the
family may often be credited to the in
telligent interest exercised in the
kitchen in favor Of good, wholesome
food, and it is not too much to say
that an accomplished cook may justly
be proud Of an art which SO closely
affects the health and well-being Of
the household.-Youths Companion.

PATENT LEATHER SHOES.
vassline or Castor oil Better Dressing
Than Patented Compounds.

yassline or Castor oil q Better Dressing
Than Patented Compounds.
As patent leather shoes, even of the
best quality, are likely to crack, and
the shoe dealers will NOT be responsible
for them, it is we'll to know how to doc
tor them little yourself. In the first
place, keep them wrapped in cotton
batting and the inside filed with soft
paper or cotton. IL necessary to wear
them on very cold night put them on
in the dressing-room after arriving, il
possible.
To keep the leather soft rub it occa-
sionally with a little sweet oil, rub
bling the oil in as much as possible, and
then wipe the shoes thoroughly with
channels. If you must continue TO wear
your shoes after the glaze Is cracked,
buy or make good varnish and keep
the shoes dressed with it. good var
nish is made from a quarter of a pound
of powdered gum arabic and two ounces
of logwood. Cover with pint of claret
and simmer very slowly aquarter of an
lsour. Strain, bottle and label. Apply
with the tips of the fingers or with
soft black flannel, Before using see
that the shoes are free from dust or
any old coat Of varnish. Dry thor
oughly in a place where there is no
dust.
Postpone the using Of patent dress
ings on shoes as long as possible. IL
may be used on the heels and sides of
the soles with much less injury than
when applied to the other parts of the
shoes Keep those clean and rub occa-
sionally with vaseline or castor oil.

FILLING THE CRACKS.
How TO Rept Ir Floors and Woodwork
Which Are Unsightly.

Your floor has great wide cracks and
rough places. Such floor is better
painted than stained, although it is
more trouble to fix it in the first place.
Large cracks should be filed, and this
is tiresome work. Putty is cheap and
easy to get, and you can press it in
with an old case-lxnife. If the blade
of the knife is broken off half way il
will be even better. Plaster of paris
fills cracks, too, and when freshly wet
up spreads like putty Mix il up with
little cold water and it is ready for
use. but mix only little at time, as
it hardens rapidly. There is yet an
other mixture which you can make
yourselves, and which is excellent.
Shred up paper-newspaper or COM
mon wrapping-paper-into bits, and
pour boiling water over it. When it is
soft stir into it paste. Drain out the
surplus water and add some glue
about two or three tablespoonfuls to a
quart of the paste-and fill the cracks
with 1t, being careful to trim off the
tops smoothly. Otherwise your cracks
will make ridges through the paint.
When any of these filings are dry,
your floor Is ready for painting. 1t is
best to get the mixed paints that come
prepared for use, or else to get some
kindly painter TO mix it for you. 1t
takes quite a little Judgment and ex-
perience to know when paint is of the
right thickness TO spread well. Get the
same painter TO select your varnish,
for there are many poor varnishes that
will not dry, and you do not want to
get into any such trouble. Dark brown
or red paint make the prettiest floors,
as the tints can be made to look like
black walnut. or cherry, by cautiously
adding lamp-blaok. Be sure to wear
your oldest clothes when you are paint
ing, and do not scatter your paint,
brushes. and pals around. Keep them
as far cut of the way and as far out of
the smell or the family as possible.
Else everyone will wish you had never
begun to decorate your room. Wear
old loose gloves. They will keep your
hands clean. and perhaps save blisters.

They Must Submit to His Terms Or
Give Up Offices.
Progressive. liberal coalitlen Sought From
Which 10 Form New Cabinet.

BELGRADE, Jan. 22.-King Alexander
and ex-King Milan summoned the chiefs Of
the parties to the palace last evening for
consultation. Milan reproached the RAdi-
cal leaders for many alleged misdeeds and
told them 1t was impossible to allow them
to remain in power unless they would give
certain pledges. The conditions Of their
retaining office were submitted to the Radi-
Gals by Alexander this morning.
They were: The revocation of the Or
der against Milan's residence in Servia the
abandonment Of impeachment proceedings
against the Liberal ministers who served
under Avakumovic up to the coup of April
~, 1898; expulsion Of Dynastic members
from the Radical Club.
The Radicals declined to accept any of
these conditions, denying with special en-
phasis that their club contained any men
opposed to the Obrenowitch dynasty. The
Radical cabinet remains nominally in power,
although the premier and war minister,
General Sava Gruitch, was forced today to
surrender the war portfolio to Col. Mil.
ovanoyic, who commanded the troops when
the regents were deposed.
Ex-King Milan has become reconciled
with NJ. Garashaniu, the Progressive lead
er, with whom he had almost continuous
quarrel since he was divorced from Natalie,
despite Garashanin's strong protests. Alex
ander and Milan are trying to secure Pro-
coalition from which to OBJ
tain new cabinet.
