INDIAN COOKS.
Are Ready Pupils and Are Pleasant

Standing on either side of the long
table, watching with attentive eyes that
help the understanding of the unfamil-
lar language, they show themselves
ready pupils. using the strange COOKING
utensils with an adaptation that has no
awkwardness in it, They are not quick
but exact. and nothing seems to b.
too much trouble, although one woman
said: She makes US wash our hands
very much when we cook" The yeast
lesson is often asked for, and as We
teach the simple potato yeast without
hops, il is quickly learned and very help
full in putting good bread into the homes.
Occasionally we have found. on visiting
the cabins, an array of crisp brown
loaves that would do credit to a Boston
cooking school
The physician complains that these
people eat too much meat. SO we have
confined our lessons during the summer
to luncheons and dinners without meat,
the women doing all the work of pre-
pairing and serving the meal. and after
ward making the kitchen ridy, under
direction. They do so well and are So
good-natured, and the pleasant smile
is always lurking in the corners of their
eyes or trembling on their lips, ready
To break and ripple over the face on the
slightest provocation. Even the old
women. whose lives have been spent
under conditions so hard that there
is no grace or beauty left in the scanned
and weather-beaten faces or the bent
figures. show hearty friendliness In
their pleasant smiles that explodes the
idea of the hard-visagcd Indian SO long
pictured as typical of the race.
Teaching cooking in the Indian homea
gives opportunity to exercise much in
genuity. After collecting from out-of-
the-way corners, scrubbing. securing
and washing. we are often limited to
dishpan. iron kettle, FRYING pan. bis

be found. The tin can comes into use
on all occasions. although we find few

which are carefully washed, trimmed
and made to do duty as pals, cups. re-

pretty round loaves giving us dainty

OF food materials. also. we find but
scarce supply. Four. baking powder
and salt are the limit in many houses,
and if by chance the supply includes
sugar and lard, we are fortunate and ex.
tend our lessons. Milk and butter we
find in only one or two homes. where,
by much encouragement, we have been
able to introduce them. But with the
few conyeniences il will be u long time
before the use of milk will be regular

WISDOM AND ADVICE.

Never buy a stocking that is not lon
ger than the foot. Shrinkagc is an al
most certain result of washing and a
short stocking is almost as bad as n
short shoe.
Never wear shoes with leather sole
Innings. White cloth is far better and
more comfortable. The same law holds
with stockings-a white sole is far
ahead OF n colorcd one. so far as com.
fort is concerned,
Fancy iron work which is out OF doors
may be kept from rusting by simply
applying a thorough coating of mutton
tallow The same remedy is good for
any metal that is exposed to dampness.
Nothing has worse effect on the
complexion than standing over hot
fire. To avoid this effect rub bit of
cold cream over the face before going
near the fire. This protects the face
from the heat and dirt. When done
working over the fire wipe off the cream
with n soft flannel cloth.

Quick R,p.n,ur Peaches.

j. ii. Hale, the greatest peach grower
on earth. gets ripe peaches two weeks
earlier by the following method: In
the middle of the growing season put
a strong wire around large arm of a
tree and twist it fairly tight. This
checks the flow of sap and causes fruit
buds to form enrly and in greatnumber.
The fruit on the branches of this arm
win ripen two weeks earlier than that
on the untreated branches and will be
much more highly colored. But this
part of the tree will be SO weakened by
the treatment that it should be cut
away after frniting that new shoots
may come and take its place. Thus one
large arm or limb of tree may be
forced each year.
