Cook these vegetables in as little water
as will suffice; if dry they must always
be soaked over night and cooked in cold
water, while the fresh ones require boil
ing water. Vegetables can be glazed by
putting into saucepan with unsalted
or clarified butter. Stirring would spoil
them, but "jumping" them by lifting the
pan from the fire and shaking the vege-
tables up and down occasionally, makes
what the French call a "ssute." Then
add little sugar and liquid sauce or
bouillon.
Crispness can be restored to vegetables
by soaking them in cold water; twenty
four hours is none too long sometimes.
Always put the stem ends in the water.
If cooked while wilted they will be
tough. Cook cabbage and cauliAower
uncovered, and with as little water as
possible. Half an hours cooking is quite
sufficient. Be sure that these vegetables
have been soaked in salted water pre-
viously.
Miss Parloa took occasion to speak of
the heslthfulness of carrots. If old, the
hearts should be discarded, but the
young and tender ones can be cut in
slices or strips, after they have been
scraped, not peeled. Boston I'rGf-

How Nails are Named.

Two accounts are given Of the origin
OF the terms "sixpenny," "eightpenny,"
"tenpenny," and SO on, as applied to the
various sizes of nails. According to one
statement, when nails were made by
hand the penny was taken as a standard
Of weight, and six were made to equal
the weight Of copper penny. This ex-
planation is open to criticism on account
Of the very small size of the nails, OF
which six were needed to balance even
the lsrge-sized, old-fsshioned copper
penny. Others are much more probable.
One explanation holds that tenpenny
nails originally sold for tenpence a
hundred, sixpenny nails for sixpence q
hundred and so on, the smaller nails
selling for the lower price. Another
explanation is that 1000 nails of the ten
penny size used to weigh ton pounds,
1000 Of the sixpenny size six pounds and
so for other sizes. OF the ordinary six
penny nails there are eighty to the pound;
Of the eightpenny, there are fifty; ten
penny, thirty-four; twelvepenny, thirty
nine.-MaDtItGcttrer.

Shirt Waists.

When the waist is of batiste or figured
in delicats tones, the collar and cuffs
will often be Of colored linen, pink, blue,
violet or yellow.
In the new shirt waists is observed a
strong leaning toward delicate, limp cot
tons, instead Of the thick percsles and
cambrics of last summer.
For dressy moments they are desirable
and some of them are made very hand
some with ribbon stocks, tabs of yellow
lace and entredeux of the same.
The newest fashion is to have the
collar and cuffs match, though if the
shirt waist is In plain material the cuffs
may be Of the same and the collar white.
Grass linens, plain, figured, striped and
dotted are also extensively used, and the
same stiff, white linen collars and cuffs
Of last year are still in high favor.
AS to shape, there does not seem to be
much change except in the sleeves,
which now run entirely to bishop affairs.
Sometimes, too, the gathers of the front
will be pressed down each side Of the
buttons to form double box plait, and
a few of the more dressy waists are made
on half-itted Innings to button up the
back.

What Girls are Doing.

For sweet charity's sake much is done
among young people-much more than
sometimes they get credit for. One Of
the new ideas to raise money for charity,
or to help along any good cause, is to
give what is called "blrthday tea." It
is a simple and novel way of raising
money, and has proved to be- the means
Of bringing in many stray penny. One
Of these birthday teas" was given last
week by number OF young women who
wished to make some money for good
cause, and it was by no means unsuccess-
full. This is the way it was done: Sew
eral young girls dubbed together, formed
a committee, and got some of their friends
to volunteer to donate different things,
such as tea, cake, chocolate, sandwiches,
and coffee. Cards were printed at a
small expense, and sent far and wide to
all acquaintance. These cards, which
had small silk bag tied to them with
pretty colored ribbons, invited them to
the tea and begged for pennies. That
is to say, everyone who received a card
Of invitation was asked to put in the bag
the same number Of pennies as the years
he or she had lived-a charming oppor-
tunity of being more than honest about
ones age, as you are 30 tempted, in the

For the HOusekeeper.

To make meats tender, spoonful of
vinegar put into the water in which
meats or fowls are boiled will produce
satisfactory results.
A good way to prevent lamp chimneys
from breaking is to place a cloth in the
bottom of large pan, fill the pan with
cold water, placing the new chimney in
it. After covering the pan, boil it's con-
tents for one hour. Take from the fire
and let the chimney remain in the water
until it is cold.

Mrs. Cleveland.

Mrs. Cleveland seems to be- wearing
dark colors more than ever now. Lately
when she was driving, she looked exceed
ingly pretty in black suit with q ruche
Of black chiffon, the long streamers Of
which foated out on the wind. There
were punches and punches of real violets
at her neck and on her hat. 1t was all
so pretty, and springliks, and attractive,

Laughter.

Laughter is the gift of God. 1t is a
kind Of spice which the Creator has given
to be taken along with the somewhat
unpalstable food of ordinary life. 1t is
q kind Of sunshine to enliven the land
scspe which is otherwise too dull and
somber. The power of seeing the anus
ing side Of things immensely lightens
the load Of life, and he who possesses
the gift Of invoking hearty and innocent
mirth may be true benefactor of his
species. But when it is used to belittle
and degrade what is great and revered,
when it is employed as a weapon with
which to torture weakness and cover
innocence with ridicule, then, instead Of
being the foam on the cup at the banquet
OF life, it becomes a deadly poison.-Dr.
James Stalker.

DarnIng Club is the Latest.

New Hampshire women have organized
a darning club. On a certain day of each
week the members wend their way to the
home Of the hostess for the occasion, and
they take their darning with them. They
work together around large table, on
which each has piled the articles she
has brought with her. Stockings are
most in evidence, but all sorts of gar
ments modestly appear before the
session is over. Someone reads aloud,
conversation has an occasional inning,
and at o'clock the club members go
proudly home, refreshed and with the
weeks darning thoroughly and pleasantly
done. Chicago Tribune.

THE PEOPLES NEEDS.
BY J. A. EDaERToN.

BY Js A. BD9BkIONs
Three things the people need,
To make them free
The first is brotherhood.
IT'S for their highest good
That they agree.
They never can be freed
Until they are united
One purpose for the right,
One army In the fight;
The tOil0TB must unite,
Before their wrongs are rtghted.
Three things the people need,
To make them free.
The next Is education.
Herein is their salvation
And liberty.
Fear, prejudice and creed
Flee, where its path has frightened.
There's light upon its face
For all the struggling race.
Twill shine in every place,
Until the world is lightened.
Three things the people need,
To make them free.
The last i5 but to know
What He taught long ago
In Galilee.
The reign Of fraud and greed
Before His word must vanish.
The slave twill llberate;
Twill better make the state;
And tyranny and hate
From out the world twill Danish.

Why One Feels Chilly when Lying Down.

Why One Feels Chilly When Lying Down.
The reason is simply this. Nature
takes the time when one is lying down
to give the heart rest, and that organ
consequently makes ten strokes less a
minute than when one is in an upright
posture. Multiply that by sixty minutes,
and It is 600 strokes. Therefore in eight
hours spent in lying down the heart is
saved nearly 5000 strokes, and as the
heart pumps six ounces Of blood with
each stroke it lifts 10000 ounces less
Of blood in night Of eight hours spent
ia bed than when one is in an upright
