Leo's Advice to Frenchmen.

ROME, June 10.-The Observatory Ro-
mano publishes to-day long note, in which
the Pope explains and defines his views
with reference to France. His Holiness dis
claims all intention of recommending any
preference for either the republican or the
monarchical form of government, but, he
observes, practice has shown that the inter
estS of religion in any country are best
served by loyal support of the constituted
government, and he gently reproves those
who, protesting attachment to the Holy
See SOW the seeds of distrust and create
difficulties by looking askance a or COM
batting particular existing governments. The
advice of his Holiness concludes thus:
Moved by "a constant affection for France
and an abiding hope that with the allaying
of passions his word will be needed by ALL
the Pope has no doubt that God will abund-
antly bless those who sacrifice their own
qualifications for the common good"

HOUSEWIVES AND MENU

It is not the occasional preparation
for an elaborate banquet, or the less
ceremonious "dinnergiving" that proves
80 wearing 70 the nerves and temper Of
the housewife but the constant catering
for those tiresome three meals a day"
Even greater trouble is necessary
where economy must be practice in the
househole. The everyday bills of fare
must be simple and inexpensive, yet the
care In preparing and serving a dinner
of herbs'' shold De even greater than
that bestowed on the occasional feast.
Any failure inthe cooking or serving
OF a special occasion may soon be for
gotten but the inmates Of house where
neglect and want OF knowledge rule in
the catering must accept the discomfort
The first essential is in the planning
and misery as daily trial
OF t1s every day bill OF fare is to present

meal, being just as careful in serving,

OF some favorite dish.

nutritious and acceptable than the same
things over and over. or certain things
planned regularly for certain days. until

CAKE KITCHEN sIoyE

The best planned meals are failures
without the proper means for cooking
an easily regulated and uniform fire
and this is only obtained by first-cfass
cooking stove or range. This is an es-
sential point in kitchen furnishing; for
nothing tries the patience OF mistreEs
and maid more than the fire that will
not burn"
In cities, houses have ranges put in
the kitchens, and as a poor one means
an empty house, landlords have profited
from sorrowful lessons OF experience,
and select the best.
The kitchen is the main artery of the
domestic system, and its requirements
to accomplish the work necessary and
especially the cooking Of the present, are

To boil fry, stew, bake, and 'broil. anu

We hear Of the dinners of the past
prepared in the old fashioned ovens,
where the soup came first. and then the

prepared and artistically served; and. as
cooking has become more and more
fine art, conveniences for cooking have
been more carefully studied. until the
appliances of the modern range of cook

every housewife should insist upon hav-
