GOOO MILK DINNER.
How a Really Good Table May be Set
on Vegetable Diet.


These people who are suspicious as to
the possibility of setting a really good
table on a vegetable diet should examine
the following meal rs described IN the
New York Recorder.
In this good, Substantial feast mcu
place, all well cooked, aid pure milk is
one of the principal ingredients. Cere-
ais, corn, potatoes, potcheese, good
homemade bread and creamery butter,
with dessert of bread or custard pud-
ding, forces this interesting menu. For
the first course, oatmeal, rice or small
hominy carefully prepared is the main
diet, and served with powdered sugar.
For the piece de res,s.-.ncc, Co. =, pre-
pared with milk. To prepare this dish
to perfection, the corn should be
freshly and carefully picked, and all
the ears should be full grown and ten
der. After it has been stripped of it's
silk, split each row of kernels with n
sharp knife, then cut off the outer
edge OF the entire ear, after which with
the point of knife scrape out all that
remains, leaving the dry cob. Cover
with fresh sweet milk and boil for
fifteen minutes. Remove from the fire
and season with butter, pepper and
salt to the taste.
Potatoes can be scallopcd, and when
done to turn form a palatable dish
Or they can be creamed and appear on
the table in all their snowy whiteness
Not everyone knows the best way to
scallop potatoes. To make the dish all
that is claimed for 1t, cut cold boiled
potatoes into small slices. Fill pud,
ding dish with layers of these thin
slices, each sprinkled with flour and
seasoned with pepper and salt, and
plentifully supplied with bits of but
ter. When the dish is full pour over
the whole one pint of thick rich cream
Dredge the top with flour, cover over
with bits of butter Bake in moder-
nte oven for a full hour. When cooked
the top should be brown, and all be-
meath the top layer rich, creamy, deli
cious.
The dessert for this milk dinner
should be bread or custard pudding,
which, If rightly made, is excellent in
It's way. Pitchers of rich milk should
grace each corner of the table. Pot
cheese made into small balls and rival
ing even the Neufchatcl cheese, with
crackers and cream coffee, Is the
charming ending of this palatable meal.

but there were those who said n woman
at that time swayed him and took him
to Paris. This story was at one time sc
well believed in England that neither
the queen nor any of the royal family
would patronize him after he became
famous. Soon after his arrival in Paris
he became connected with the firm OF
Gagelin & Co. When the Franco-Ger.
man war broke out Worth had hard
work to keep his head above water.
The firm with which he was failed, but
the same protectress who had looked
after him before helped him now, and
he weathered the storm. The Same
war which nearly ruined him was the
cause, too, of his ultimate success. The
French people followed the depriva.
tions of the siege of Paris by
the widest extravagances, and Worth,
who had founded the firm of Worth
& Boberg, shared in the general
boom. The fame of the "man-milliner"
spread, and it was not long before ho
was the autocrat of society. During
the rest of his life Worth's position was
never attacked. Royalty, society and
the stage were at his feet and he plum,
dered them royalty. He considered
$4,000 quite small price for a gown,
even at the beginning of his career,
and the people who patronized him paid
1t gladly. Worth's peculiarities rem
dered him singularly distasteful to most
men with whom he was thrown in con-
tact, but he was a great favorite with
his customers. For those who were his
special favorities he would spend days
over dress. Sitting, gorgeously attired,
with his head on his hand, he would
have the customer pose for him and, like
u musician conducting his own opera,
would rise and with great gestures cx-
plain his conceptions He never de
signed dresses. He dreamed" them.
Perfumes he abominated He would
permit none of his employees to use
them and would almost 60 into hystcr-
les if one of his customers had perfume
about heR The queen of England
would never tolerate him and would
not permit his name to be mentioned in
her presence. The prohibition extended
to his work and if a Worth costume got
into her majesty's drawing-room it was
not paradcd as such.

Recipe for Soft Gingerbread.

One cup of butter, one cup Of molas-
Aes, one cup of sugar, one cup of sour
milk or buttermills, one teaspoonful
soda dissolved In boiling water, one
tablespoonful of ginger, one teaspoon
full cinnamon and two eggs. About
five cups of flour, work in four first,
adding the fifth cautiously until the
desired thickness is obtained, which is
q trifle thicker than cup cake. Mix the
molasses, sugar, butter and spice to-
gether. Warm them slightly and beat
until they are lighter in color than
when you began. Add the milk, then
the soda. Having mixed all well, put
in the flour. Beat very hard five min.
utes, and half pound of seeded raisins
cut in pieces may be added. Dredge
them with flour before putting them
In. Bake at once in loaf, or in small

LOCATING THE BED.
A Task Rpquiring the Exercise of Com
siderable Judgment.

There is considerable difference Of
opinion rs to the rrccsSity 10 the health
of sleeping in II bed placed north and
south. The old-fashioned idea that the
currents of electricity going from pole
to pole affect the sleeper is now suppos-
ed to be superstition.
Yet the habit that most of us have
acquired of placing our beds wherever
it is possible with the head to the
north will probably cling to us. One
thing, however, that is of Importance
is that the bed should not be placed
against the wall, but should be acecssi-
BILE on both sizes. The old fashion of
placing the bed in an alcove, which
cannot be ventilated as well as large
room, is considered to be an unhygienic
one. An excellent reason why bed
should not be placed against the wall
is that the person who sleeps at tie
rear of the bed is likely to have his
face, during sleep, so near the wall
that his breath, striking the wall, will
be rebreathcd again.
So large a portion of existence is
necessarily spent in sleep that the To-
,ation of the bed, the bed covering and
bedding and the furniture of the bed
room should be the subject of consid-
Grafton and thought, AS it Is, too
often this is the last room considered.
In many families good-sized closet,
with no opening into the outer air, Is
considered good enough for bedroom.
Not only should the bedroom be thor
oughly ventilated and exposed to the
rays of the sun, If this is possible, but
the bedclothing should be taken off
and hung in the air and sun for several
hours before the bed is made up The
fashion of the double bed Is rapidly
passing out of use. Where two per-
sons occupy the same room two single
beds, or twin beds placed side by side,
take its place, for two persons can
rarely sleep together without one Of
them feeling i'll effects. 1t is most
injurious practice for a child to sleep
with an adult, but it is equally bad for
strong, vigorous child to sleep with a
delicate, nervous one. The stronger
person may sometimes draw strength
from the weaker, but usually this Is
reversed, and the more vigorous person
IS the suffercr.-N. Y. Tribune.
