EG uip ping the Kitchen.

The blue porcelain-lined vessels are
always pretty and clean looking. Of
these or the agate should be the dou
bic boilers, the double bottomed
'aucepans, the frying kettle, the pud-
ding dishes and sundry other equally
useful dishes. Have an omelet pan as
well as frying pan, a waffle iron as
well as griddle, muffin tins as we'll as
biscuit pans, and above all, do not
stint yourself in the matter of bowls.
Have of big bowls one or two, of me-
dlum-sized bowls three or four, and of
small bowls as many as your financial
conscience will allow you to get They
are cheap, they take up little room,
are easily kept clean, and are always
useful, not only for mixing small
quantities, for beating an egg or two,
but for holding a spoonful of this or
half cupful of that remnant. Be
lavish also in spoons for mixing and
measuring, and in knives of various
sizes for cutting meat and bread, for
pairing apples and potatoes. Have a
split spoon for taking croquettes and
fritters from the boiling fat, meat
forks, cake turner's and palette knife
for lifting and turning an omelette.
Provide yourself with a board to cut
bread upon, with paint brush to
grease cake tins, with an iron-hanG led
dish cloth for cleaning pots and pans
with long-handled mop, a vegetable
crater, cheese crater, a vegetable
press, gravy strainer, a long-nosed
pitcher for griddle cake batter, and

The Composition of Milk.

Numerous experiments about milk
have hitherto resulted in failure, and
we are as ignorant as ever of its chem,
ical composition and its physical con-
stitution. When we do learn the exact
truth concerning them, we shall be in
better position than we are now to
undertake the management of milk
itself, the making of butter, and, in
particular, the manufacture of cheese.
In connection with the latter especial
ly there is too much charlatanism. Our
future practice will be very largely con-
trolled by the correct answer which,
no doubt, will eventually be given, to
the apparently simple question: What
is milk? The greatest error we can COM
init at present, perhaps, is to think
that we know all about it

Leak in the Plant Food,

To purchase fertilizers au ID lose the
liquid manure is to allow leak in the
plant food. Fertilizers will always
prove beneficial, but the first duty is
to save all materials that will add to
the manure pile. When the liquid is
lost by not using a sufficiency of alb
sorbents, the most valuable portion OF
the manure will have gone with it, as
the liquids contain larger proportion
of nitrogen than the solids, and they
can easily be saved with as little labor
as is required to the solids.

AID FROM THE STATE.
1t Is Necessary to Make the Good Roads
Crusade a Success.


Crusade "A Success.
State aid to localities for any pur-
pose is of course open to grave OBJ
jections. Is should be seldom vouch-
safed, and never, except in exigent
cases; but after years of agitation,
good roads in New York have slim
prospects, save as the state assists
them. Massachusetts has found that
state aid and supervision are the only
feasible methods. New York will find
the same, unless present signs are de-
fective. Certainly if time be a factor
in the problem-if good roads are soon
to be begun-state aid must be given.
While the press has been almost unit
in their behalf, the highest economic
authorities have approved them, and
the splendid highways of the old world
have been constant object-lessons to
the new, comparatively little has here
been accomplished. There has been
much agitation with small results.
The argument is concluded. Action
should ensue; and under the circum-
stances-the need of prompt, compre-
hensive and intelligent action-the
proposition for state aid is entitled to
consideration. -Harper's Weekly.

SOME QUEER FOODS.


ana oregon.
There is an old proverb to the effect
that what is food to one man is poison
to another, and the proverb is well
illustrated at the department of agri-
culture at Washington by an odd sort
of exhibit of queer foods eatan by out
of-the way people.
Among the articles in the sxhibit is
a loaf of bread made from the leaves Of
plant that is allied to the century
plant; as also another kind of bread
from dough of juniper berries. These
are relished by some kinds of Indians,
while others make cakes out of different
kinds of bulbs. The prairie Indians
like dish of Wild turnips, and the
''screw BEANS" which grow on mes
quite bushes, are utilized by Indians
for food. Soap berries furnish an
agreeable diet for some tribes. The
Digger Indians in California do not dis
dain the seeds of salt grass. and the
seeds of gourds are consumed in the
shape of mush by Indians in Arizona.
The exhibit in question includes
jar of pulverized crickets, which are
eaten in that form by the Indians of
Oregon. They are roasted. as are also
grasshoppers. These delicacies are
cooked in a pit, being arranged in al
ternate layers with hot stones. After
being thus prepared, they are dried and
ground to powder. They are mixed
with pounded acorns or berries the
flour made in this way being kneaded
into cakes and dried in the sun.
Among other curious things used by
Indians for food are acorns, sunfower
seeds, grape seeds, flowers of cattails,
moss from the spruce fir tree and the
blossoms of wild clover.

A main difference between our
times and MEDIEVAL times is that
then the scientific constructor and
the artistic constructor were one per-
son. Now they are two. The art of
architecture is divided against itself.
The architect resents the engineer as
a barbarian; the engineer makes
light of the architect as dilettante.
It Is difficult to deny that each is
largely in the right. The artistic in
sensibility OF the modern engineer is
not more fatal to architectural prog
ress than the artistic irreIevancy of
the modern architect In general,
engineering is at least progressive,
while architecture is at most station
airy. And indeed it may be ques-
toned whether, without a thought
of art, and, as in were, in spite of
himself the engineer has not pro-
duced the most impressive as Ger
tainly he has produced the most
characteristic monuments of our
Observation-Disclosures Record.
