How Germans serve Vegetables.

The German method of serving vege-
tables is very pretty and novel A
dish will be passed to you, large fiat
platter, on which there are four or five
different kinds of vegetables, not
mixed together, but arranged in SYM
m etrical rows, side by side, across the
plate, and favored with a nice butter
sauce. They will combine peas, car
rots, string beans, turnips, etc. The
contrasting colors, arranged tastefully
with reference to the general effect
are pretty and take the dish out of the
commonplace. One is supposed to help
oneself to a very small portion of each
kind. The Germans have a peculiar
taste for combining vegetables; and
show a remarkably good sense as to
what f,avors should be united. A dish
OF spinach and turnips we have often
tried since we first tasted it in the
Black Forest The spinach is chopped
very fine and highly favored with salt,
pepper, butter, little nutmeg and
tablespoonful of soup stock. The tur-
nips are boiled and then cut in thin
slices. To serve them, the spinach
should be first placed in a vegetable
dish, then the sliced turnip put over
the top, so as to cover the spinach,
and a rich white sauce poured over the
whole. The combined flavor is very
good.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

Hats of Gauxe for summer.

Hats of gauze and light materials
are in great demand in warm days.
They have a cool summery appearance
which even the lace straws can Eot
aspire to. 1t is a comparatively easy
matter to make one of these alluring
bonnets-so simple, in fact, that there
is a possibility of their becoming COM
mon. The plated null for the brim
may be ought by the yard This
varies in price from twelve cents to
twenty-five cents per yard. and is
measured straight Two and half
yards is enough to make a wide brim.
Three concentric circular wires are
held in place by about six others, which
radiate from the center like the spokes
of wheel. When the brim is made
the hat is practically done, and all that
is then necessary is two and half
yards of straw for a Tam O'Shanter
crown The straw may be of any color
desired, but green is a favorite. The
feathers to stand up at the side of the
crown where the brim is slightly
rolled, a small spray beneath the brim
in front, where the brim turns almost
straight up, and smart bow of ribbon
or some aigrettes are sufficient trim
ming.-St- Louis Republic.

Charity of Speech

Charity Of speech is as divine thing
as charity of sction. To judge no one
harshly, to misconceive no mans mo-
tives, to believe things are as they
seem to be until they are proved other
wise, to temper judgment with mercy
surely this is quite as good as to
build up churches, establish asylums
and found colleges. Unkind words do
as much harm as unkind deeds. Many
o heart has been wounded beyond
cure, many a reputation has been
stabbed to death by few little words
There is a charity which consists in
withholding words, in keeping back
harsh judgments, in abstaining from
speech, if to speak is to condemn.
Such charity hears the tale of slander,
but does not repeat it; listens in ST.
lence, but forbears comment: then
locks the unpleasant secret up in the
very depths of the heart. Silence can
still rumor; it is speech that keeps a
story alive and lends it vigor.-Detroit
Free Press

THE GIRLS ARE TO BLAME.
When Men Are . Little Too Forward
With Them.


Did he? Well, don't be so indignant
about it A man, as a rule, is not
aware that he is presuming, he thinks
he is merely taking advantage of an
opportunity given him, and. remem-
Der, how angry girls are when a man
does not take advantage of an oppor-
tunity. OF course, mice girl is not
purposely giving men opportunities to
be impertinent or disrespectful, but if
he is that, it is more probable that he
thought you gave such an opportunity
than that he did it with reckless disre-
gard of your disapproval. When a man
makes such mistake" he usually
feels as bad about it as you, if he real
ICES it is a mistake, or else, serene in
the belief that you gave him the chance
and gave it to him purposely, he won
ders what you are making such fuss
about. That's the truth of the matter,
and now about the opportunities girls
give.
The only wonder is that men behave
as well as they do. Girls seem to de-
pend entirely upon mems good taste
and self control and very little upon
their own behavior to insure them re-
spectful treatment. That's more truth
of the matter. If a young woman
crosses her feet and tucks one prettily
shod toe high in the round of the chair
IN front of her, she must be clever
enough to do it with faultless air of
inconsistencies or the man is quite
justified in taking the move as chal-
lenge to his attention to the pretty
ankle. He may feel justified in letting
the offender see that he takes advan-
vantage of the opportunity given him,
and he might, not knowing her very
well, or thinking the challenge war
ranted it, be unpleasant Then she
must get out OF it as best she can, and
afterward leave such tricks alone. II
she was really just thoughtless she
may be as distressed as she likes. If
he sees the distress is genuine he will
be very sorry, but all the same he is
not really to blame.
1t is the same way when girls are
alone, travelling, perhaps, or through
their own carelessness or bravado do
without escort in e public place. They
imagine that men must known by in
stinct that they are ladies' Well, may
be if the girls are really behaving very
carefully the men may know by in
stinct, or the men may take the sit ua-
ton as a challenge, and it really is,
you know. If you get spoken to-,
better take it as if you are sure the in
tent was respectful Be gentle, grave
and quiet about it Ten to one the
man will be jolly glad you supposed
he was behaving the gentleman instead
of the experimenter, and get out of it
promptly, with every effort to support
it the mistake you seem to have made.
As for you. don't set him down as
cad" but remember that you were
taking chances, and remember not to
lead another man to join in your mis-
take at any other occasion.-St- Louis

THE PHILOSOPHY OF REST.
Proper Relaxation Restores and Generates
Creative Energy.


Creative Energy.
Physical labor is fatiguing just in
proportion to the absence of thought,
or the depressing quality of the
thought. Rest from this fatigue comes
very largely from change OF thought
currents. 1t is a great mistake to
fancy that one is only at work when
he is doing something on the visible
and tangible side. An afternoon on
the lounge, or in an easy chair or
hammock, reading is not unfrequently
far more productive even TO the busy
housewife, than it would have been
spent over the mending basket or at
the sewing machine. BY living high
enough to catch the outlook, so to
speak. one generates a certain degree
of creative energy, which tides over
work otherwise exhausting with little
sense OF fatigue. To receive this en-
ergy is to rest. Therefore the philoso-
ply of rest is to bring ones self into
receptivity to this infinite potency.
just how?
One way is simply to sit down alone
and silently, and lift up the thought
10 the ulNlne WOTlu- ~ 4uiCb-
ly, the exceeding beauty of life as lived
on the spiritual plane. Things have
happened, perhaps, that are irritating,
yet hold fast to the thought that one
must Danish resentment; must govern
his thoughts as well as his acts by
benevolence: that one must ever keep
in his mind the ideal of the divine har-
mony. This habit of daily concentra-
ting the mind on the divine qualities
results in rapid requirement of poise
exhilaration. and enduring strength.

may be narrow from circumstances but
it always may be deep and high. And

SPRING CHICKENS.
The Proper Season for the Toothsome
Young Eroiler.

Young Eroiler.
Contradictory as the statement may
appear. the middle of July is pre-emi-
nently the season of spring chicken
The delicious broiler is then at its
lowest price, and the green peas
and all succulent young vegetables
that are its traditional accompan-
iments The perfection of this dish
depends not a little upon the manner
in which the chicken has been fat
tened. Those young fowls that have
been allowed to run wild and care for
themselves on such 4 precarious diet
as they pick up are likely to be tough
at an early age. The well-fattened
six-months' chicken is quite different
article of food. The breast is large,
and the sinews of the legs and wings
have not been developed by excessive
exercise. Another matter of import
ance is the manner in which the fowl
has been killed. The tenderest chicken
is tough as soon as the warmth has
left its body, and remains so for at
least twelve hours, when the muscles
relax and it is fit for food. The prac-
tice of killing chickens and eating
them while the rigor is upon the mus
cles causes many people to believe that
chicken is not so excellent meat as 1t
is generally considered.
A well-fed, properly killed chicken
needs no direction in its preparation.
1t is the simplest matter in the world
to wipe it, rub it with butter, dredge
it lightly with flour and season it and
brown over clear Goals. first on one
side, then on the other. 1t needs no
sauce except sweet butter. All direc-
tions for steaming chicken first be-
fore broiling are a mistake.
Fried chicken was the delight of old
southern cooks of ante-bellum days,
and was served with the sweetest and
lightest of pone bread. Melt two ia.
blespoonfuls of butter in a frying pan.
When it is very hot put in the chicken
cut in pieces as for fricassee; season
each piece and dredge it with flour;
fry it until a golden brown, then take
it up on a hot platter. Add a table,
spoonful of -four to the drippings and
melted butter in the pan and pour in a
cup of rich milk or cream Season the
sauce with salt and pepper. Add a
teaspoonful of parsley. Let the whole
boil up and pour it over the chicken.
Large hominy-what is called and la
beled samp in the north-is eaten with
fried chicken. 1t is first boiled so that
each grain is swollen out to three or
four times its size before it is cooked,
and then fried.-N. Y. Tribune.
