Everyone knows how hard it is to keep
sausage fresh. 1t will, no difference
what we may do to prevent it, so soon
get to tasting strong, that we never think
Of trying to keep it by packing it in jars
and pouring melted lard over the tops
Of the jars, or packing it into new muslin
sacks and keeping it in cool place, or
scarcely trust it when frozen solid, but

chance to say, "Isn't this sausage getting
little bit Off" we just 60 to work and
cook it, and then we are cure we have it
all secure. Years ago we used to 60
through the tedious process Of frying it
in skillets on the stove, and 1t was q
dreadful undertaking. But have grown
older (also wiser) and now take large
dripping pan, and fill it with sausage
cakes, sometimes to the depth Of two or
three layers, and placing it in mod
crate oven, go about my work, knowing
that my sausage will be done through
without constant attention, and cooked
in much more superior manner. When
done, place the cakes in jars, and pour
the fryings over them. cook them
thoroughly done, as I would be afraid to
run any risks with the stuff. It will
keep we'll for number Of months, and
can be prepared for the sable in few
minutes; and no difference how much
we may have, the work Of cooking it in
the oven is nothing compared with the
dread of having it grow stale on our
hands, or frying a little at time in
skillsts, with the smell of grease and
smoks.-FGrm and FireSide.

string (sO that there will be no danger

OF the broom, tying snugly around the
top Of the brush at the handle, and
allowing the hem TO extend down over
the brush; this device holds it together,
preventing it's sprawling and Tipping

furniture from accidental scratching,
and prevents the broom being broken by

find the ends Of straws and base Of brush

time you sweep. And right here is the
secret Of the new broom sweeping clean
the square ends of square-cut brush.
When the broom gets those sharp points,
dip in hot suds and shear neatly, thus
preserving the square shape. This gives
you virtually a new broom. A good

The Company You Keep.

A person is known by the company he
keeps, and frequently-as the humorlst
puts it-by the company he keeps out Of.
Be careful in choosing your associates.
Never make acquaintsnces
would perhaps DO the better word-with
those whose language, habits or general
conduct you would be ashamed to see
and hear in your home. Ifyou do you
are sure to be the sufferer. The person
OF low tastes and conduct is much less
likely to be benefited by your superior
ways than you are to be degraded to his
level. Such, unfortunately, is the law
Of nature. Let drop Of milk fall into
a pail OF water. 1t is lost in a moment.
But let fsll drop Of black ink into the
same water, and it's presence will soon
be noticeable. A rotten apple will
finally faint a whole bRrrelful Of sound
fruit, but who would think of putting
good apple into barrel Of deoayed fruit
for the purpose Of making them sound
again? This does not mean that virtue
has no leavening influence, but simply
that it is easier to 60 down hill than up.
So do not keep questionable company.
If you cannot find the right kind Of ssso-
ciates, the kind who will make you better
and nobler, be sufficient unto yourself.
Live with your books, and the worthless
of sll time, who are 30 willing to give
you through their pages q friendship
greater and benigner than that Of kings.
The world will surely Judge you by
the company you keep. "Tell me with
whom you associate" said Goethe, "and
1 will tell you who you are. II / know
what your business is, 1 know what can
be made Of you."-V Voice.

hold the different yarns to be used, and

The stockings should be put into the

would be in one place ready for use.-

THE SLEEPING OF TIE WIND.

The great red moon was swinging

The robins had ceased from singing;
The noise of the day had ceased;
The golden sunset islands

And warm from the sea OF silence
A wind Of sleep came by.

That the treetOp bresthed kiss,
And dP0Wsy Wood-biTd, nesting,

And whispered to tiny Crlckets
The words OF lullaby.

And the hush Of the woodland hGrkened

And the moon grew whittier, and by IL

Why We Cook Our FOod.

We cook our food to render it more
agreeable tu our senses Of taste and
smell. Cooking develops fsvors and
odors not present in the raw state. This
is particularly true Of the animal foods,
but it is also true to q greater or less
extent with regard to vegetable foods,
and indeed some vegetables, as potatoes
and beans, would be repugnant we're
they uncooked. The superior flavor, ap-
pesrance and taste OF piece Of beef
steak nicely cooked is a case in point.
The development Of pleasant havors in
the coffee berry and peanut illustrate
the same principle.
A second reason why we should cook our
food is to befound In the fact that there
by we facilitate the process OF nlastica
ton. Some foods are tough or hard and
can neither be finely divided nor well
mixed with saliva. Cooking softens these
80 that the work Of the teeth is performed
with greater ease, and the results, so
far as the digestibility and the amount
of nutrient matter obtained are con-
cerned, are vastly more efficient.
Again it is often desirable that the
food be chemically changed; thus some
foods or portions of them are absolutely
indigestible in the uncooked state; the
fibrous tissue Of meat, for example, can
not be considered q food until by the
application Of heat it has been changed
chemically to gelatine. Similarly
starches, though not entirely indigestible
when raw, are changed into more
digestible form by cooking, and the
cooked starch, as in bread, is by the
process Of toasting converted into new
chemical substance called dextrin, which
closely resembles sugar both in its
chemical properties and in the ease with
which it is digested. Again sugar is
changed into caramel and fats are par
TALLY decomposed into other more di.
gestible substances.
A fourth reason for cooking food is
that the warmth which is thus impaired
promotes digestion by causing an in.
creased flow OF blood to the digestive
apparatus and hence a more copioul
secretion Of the digestive fluids. 1t is tC
stimulate the flow Of digestive juices
that hot soup is given as the first course
at dinner. As a result Of this increased
flow the digestion of the food is vel
advanced by the time dinner is over
The general stimulating effect Of tea anC
coffee is enhanced considerably by theil
warmth.
The general result Of all these changes
mentioned, the development Of flavor
the increased ease of mastication, the
chemical changes, and the warmth i'm
parted by cooking, Is that more nutrient
matter ia obtained from the food at the
same time that its digestion is promoted
Finally, cooking destroys any para
sistes that may be present in the food.
