oYsTERs IN CHATTING DISH.
They May be Cooked to Perfection
I'm This Simple Way.

The chatting dish is especially nice
for cooking the oyster. A few receipts
may be acceptable.
For Planned Oysters-When the dish
becomes hot put in two tablespoonfuls
of butter, add two dozen oysters, half
a cup of cream Oh oyster liquor, salt
and paprika to taste; cover the dish
and cook three minutes. Turn the oys-
tiers upon squares of buttered toast.
Another Way to Pan Oysters-Melt
n large tablespoonful of butter in the
heated dish, put in a teaspoOnful of
-four and stir until it is well blended.
Add oysters enough to cover the bot
tom Of the dish without crowding and
season with salt and cayenne pepper.
Cover the dish and cook the oysters
until the edges are rutiled, stirring
them to have both sides cook alike.
Pour over the oysters n couple Of
%spoonfuls of sherry, and serve on
pieces of crisp toast.
Another Method Is This-Put In d
chatting dish a tablespoonful of butter,
and when it is melted add a dozen and
a half large oysters. Scatter over the
oysters some finely chopped celery, salt
and cayenne pepper. Cove the dish
and cook until the oysters are plump
and the edges ruffied. Then pour over
them two tablespOonfuls of lemon
juice and serve on toasted crackers.
For a Curry of Oysters-Put n
tablespoonful of butter in the heated
dish. When it is melted stir in one
tablespoonful of grated onion, the same
amount of flour and a te%aspoonful Of
curry powder. Gradually stir In one
cup of oyster liquor and stir until it
thickehs; add two dozen oysters and
season with salt: Cover the dish and
cook about two minutes and serve:
Dreamed Oysters-Put n table
spoonful of butter into the chatting dish
| and stir into it the same quantity Of
-four. When they are frothy add one
cup of cream and let the mixture come
to a boil; then stir in one and a half
| dozen oysters that have been heated to
a boiling point in their own liquor and
| drained. Add n egg we'll beaten and
two tablespoonfuls of sherry or not, as
enc may desire. AS Dol as the egg is
stirred in cover the burner and serve.
For Oyster Saute-Put two table.
spoonfuls of butter in the dish, and
when hot put a single layer of large,
well drained oysters in the bottom OF
the dish. When Drowned on n side
turn them and brown upon the other
adding more butter if it is needed
Season with salt and paprika and serve
with toasted crackers and sliceC

A Technical Question Will BE Raised
With Reference to the Repeal
Question.
From all returns there is no question
that the Question SHALL article "A of
the constitution be repealed which
was submitted to the people at the late
election. received II majority in the
affirmative If those who voted on the
question. Just what the result of this
affirmative answer will be is Il qttes-
ton which will very likely be decided
by the courts. 1t is commended by the
prohibitionists that It is Il mere ques-
ton, and whatever the answer would
have no effect, as it does not declare
that the section shall be repealed in
terms definite enough to have any eff
feet. When the injunction was asked
for to prevent the question being sub
mittcd an attempt was made to raise
this point, but it was not considered by
the court, Oh the ground that it was
not q matter which could come into
the ease at that time. 1t will undoubt-
edly be raised again qnl numbers OF
| attorneys are of the opinion that the
| question as submitted has not changed
the constitution in the least, but
leaves it just as it was in the past, but
that will be a question to be decided.

Marketing EGGS.

A loss of a very few eggs will pay
the difference between a first-class
package and d poor one, Farm Poultry
says.
A great many farmers think that II
egg is as good as another if both are
fresh and wonder why, when their re-
turns come in from a lot packed I'D
loose-jointed cases (some large, some
small, and most of them dirty that
the amount is so much below the mar
ket quotation for fresh eggs. Unless
their attention is specially called to the
matter they will continue in their shift
less ways. and condemn the poultry
business as non-paying.
People here are learning nov to Sc
lect and clean their eggs, pack them III
neat cases and never, under any cir
cumstances, allow an egg of doubtful
age to get into a package, and keeping
the small ones for home consumption.
Eggs marketed according to the above
suggestions ought to, and do, average
% cents per dozen the entire year, and
at that price q poultry farm will pay
better than almost any other legitimate
business for the amount Of capital re-
quired.

A Scandinavian correspondent writes
to the Berlin T%ageblatt that in Den
mark, Norway and Finland the en-
ployment of women as sailors is a mat
ter of daily experience. In he smaller
sailing ships, where there is Il woman
on board, whether she be the steward
ess or the wife Of the skipper. she is
expected to take her turn sit h Or
binary work Of the sailors, not even
excluding the duties of the man at the
wheel, or of the night watch. In Den
mark several women are employed at
sea as state officials, and particularly
in the pilot service. They go far out
to sea TO meet the coming ships; they
Chamber up nimbly out Of. the boats;
they show their official diploma and
steer the newcomer safely into tile
harbor." 1t IS the same in Finland
Experienced captains say that women
often make excellent sailors and that
they are equal to most seamen in deX-
terity and endurance.

In their everyday existence wives
have to be the superiors of men. A
mar who can do several things we'll

average housekeeper has d dozen-oh,

radically different natures, and if she
fails in one she falls short of the re-
Guirements of society, and her family:
Mrs. De Jarnette well expressed this
idea before the San Jose institute
when she said:
"If a man goes into business. does he
assume the duties of head clerk, book
keeper, cash boy, collector and jani-
tor? And if he could do sO-which he

And when she doeS-for she usually
does-can she keep her house clean,
her temper serene. buttons sewed on,
remove all thoughts of care from her
husbands heart, keep her prettiest
clothes on and scented with violet and
lavender, her sweetest smile on and
her mouth puckered up for a kiss-for
they only come when least expected,
for when we yearn for them we uSu-
ally keep ON yearning. No! OF course
she can't. Could the angels them

Tor almost any room in a house is o

string which will draw from the cen

at. For a blue bali match the color OF
the string in crochet silk, and crochet
Il that will fit the ball tightly,
leaving a tiny hole In the bottom to
slip the end of the string through. Run
a drawing thread around the top to
Tie tightly. Then make Il large bow of

make a loop of inch-wide ribbon sew

total blank. She did not even havL
the sense of taste. But in a little more
than eight years she has been trained
through the single sense of touch until
she is further advanced in the ordin-
airy branches of learning than girls of
her age who can see, hear and speak.
Much of this wonderful progress has
been due to the patience and care Of
her teacher, Miss Sullivan. Helen was
first taught to understand by signs
tapped on the hands, thus enabling
her to catch glimpses through her fin
ger tips of the great world around her,
which she can never see. For q long
time she talked with her fingers as
deaf and dumb people usually do. But
II day she took her teachers hand in
hers and spelled on it: Il must speak,
Miss Sullivan finally found a way to
teach her to Use her voice, and now
she speaks clearly. The only way,
however, by which she can receive
oral communications is by the sense
of touch. Let her place he. finger tins
upon the throat or lips of any one
speaking and there Is instantly con-
veyed to her brain understanding of
what Is said.
She has Rapidly acquired knowledge
of French. German and history. and
already II has written much in these
Two languages, and her W as well.
She has a very strong poetic temporal
ment, and her diary, which she has
been Keeping for two years, abounds
with beautiful thoughts, most beauti-
fully expressed.
When your lessons seem altogether
too hard and you think there's not
much use trying, when you are discon-
tented and feel that the world is not

senses and can sec and hear the beau.

Comfortable Bedroom Lounge.

Every bedroom should, if possible,
contain a couch, if it be oily Of wicker
and especially is n Indispensable in
the room of a guest, who frequently
longs for a short nap, but refrains
from taking II in the fear of disturb
ing a beautifully made or decorated
bed. Guest furnishings, by the way,
should not be SO fine as to be overpow-
ering. If the room be small. and there
is no other place for a couch, 1t could
be set ut the foot of the bed, where, If
supplied with castors, it may easily be
moved when necessary. One suitable
for use in a bedroom may be contrived
With very little trouble.
