COOKING TONGUES.
Something That Every Housekeeper
 Does Not Know.

Something That Every HOuseNeepeF
 Does Not Know.
 Every good housekeeper knows how to soak and boil smoked beef tongue, but great many cooks treat fresh tongue ill such a manner that it be- comes as favorless as gelatine.
 Properly roasted or praised in stock, a fresh beef or ealf's tongue is de- hcious meat. It is not remarkable for its nutritious qualities, but, like the aenderloin of beef, the meat is of good flavor if it is carefully cooked and seasoned, and it is always of melting tenderness.
 Select fresh beef tongue for roast ing. Wash and trim it thoroughly, and season it with salt and pepper. Wrap a paste around it made of pint of flour and a cupful of water. Roll out this paste thin and wrap it around the tongue. Lay it on meat rack in a dripping pan, with pint of boiling wa ter Roast it for about two hours. Keep the surface of the paste from drying too hard or from burning by basting it with the boiling water in the bottom of the dripping pan. At the end of this time remove the paste. It is of no further value. Loosen the skin of the tongue and peel it off. It should come off easily. Lay it back in the pan, rub it freely with butter, dredge it lightly with flour. and pour little rich brown stock in the pan under it to haste 1t with. Roast it, basting it often, until It is well Drowned. Take it up. Add mushrooms to the brown gravy in the dripping pan, thicben it and serve with the tongue. The mushrooms, of course, may be omitted, but they add a great deal to the flavor of the tongue. Spinach Is a delicious vegetable to serve with roast tongue. Pickles and piquant sauces are always appropriate.--N. Y. Tribune.

Good Looking People.

Most girls are pleased to be thought beautiful, nor is it displeasing to a young man to find he is spoken of as handsome. But if we recall the faces that are most pleasing to us, we shall commonly find that it is not fairness of complexion or evenness of feature that we admire, but a merry smile, a kindly expression, frank, honest look it is really the character of the per. son expressed in the face which att tracts LIS. But face does not respond to the effort of the moment; it is 2 revelation of the habitual attitude oi the soul. Thoreau says: Any noble ness begins at once to refine mans features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them. ."-St. Louis Repub. 1in

TCopyright. 1897.I

A school whose students spend their vacation time in digging for buried treasures must be interesting to attend.
 That is just what the students of the American school in Athens do, and their teachers dig with them. There is in the work the intense excitement of making rich finds, and constant talk of Heads and "veins" and indications just as if one were in a mining camp.
 The American school at Athens is in tended for the study of the Greek Ian guage. and also of the art of the am cient Greek people. their religion and their way of building andliving-which

and smaller hat with less striking trimmings is a wiser selection.
 Hats are trimmed alike on both sides and are turned up at the back. A strik- ing example is of black satin straw, xwith upturned brim at the sides and back. A band of white satin, jetted, crosses the front, each end filled with white lace. Behind the frills are stiff black wings, standing up at each side. The cache peigne at the back is of black eyed yellow daisies.
 Another hat, worn with a gray gown, is made in softer colorings. The hat is in gray, similar in shape to that de- seribed above. Gray wings, starting beneath a large, l1lliant buckle, spread each side of th front. In the back are yellow nareiFsus, plenty of them, arr ranged in golden mass above the coal black hair of the little lady who secured the hat as part of her bridal trousseau.

GREAT BRlTAlN's FOOD SUPPLY.
In Case of War It Would Be Virtu-

In Case of War 1t Would Be Nirtu-
 ally Cut or.
 Great Britain seems to be quite thor oughly stirred up on the question of the food supply in case of war. In an address recently delivered by an Eng fish scientist in London, the speaker called attention to the rapid decrease of agricultural lands in the United Kingdom and stated that since 1856 the area of wheat-producing land has been decreased to less than one-fourth of what it was at that time. If Great Britain should become involved in A war with France and Russia, the speak CT predicted that one of the first acts of these countries would be to declare coal and wheat contraband of war. Should the United States and Russia join hands against Great Britain, he continued, they would at once be able to cut off three-fourths of the wheat supply that now finds it's way to Brit ish ports. In the event of these pow CTS jointly prohibiting the export of wheat, the speaker did not hesitate to express the belief that starvation would compel Great Britain to sue for an unconditional peace within three months after war was declared, with out single gun being fred"
 At the close of the meeting the fol- lowing resolutions were adopted; "Re- solved that in the opinion of this meet ing the dependence of the United King dom on foreign imports for the nee essaries of life, and the consequences that would arise therefrom in case of war, demand the serious attention of her majesty's government.

Froated AppIes.

This is particularly pretty dish for the supper table. Choose six large and perfect apples. core them and stew un- til the skin can be removed easily. Each apple when peeled must be dipped into clarified butter, covered with pounded white sugar, and the hollow left by the removal of the core, filled with dates, which must have been previously washed, stoned and cut into small pieces. Place the apples in slow oven and when the sugar sparkles they may be considered as finished. American Queen.

JoPKlNs. MISTAKE.

 Bonnet.

 Bonnet.
 Hopkins had read somewhere that if woman got hold of a newspaper with a clipping cut out of it, she would never rest until she had procured complete paper and read the missing item. This struck Jopllins as a very shrewd and Machiavelian plan of ex- posing this well-known weakness of lovely woman, and he resolved to put It into practice.
 So that night, when he went home from the office, there ostentatiously protruded from his coat pocket the days paper, from which he had neatly cut a paragraph referring to the rings of Jupiter or some such matter,
 He threw the paper to one side in a careless way, and after supper he noted had secured it, and was running her eye over the bargain ads, and work ing her way, after the manner of her sex, through the personals, marriage notices, and back to the telegraphic dispatches.
 Presently Jopllins observed 9 sudden and suspicious frown overcast her face. She had come upon the hiatus made by the waggish penknife. Hopkins reveled with internal hilarity, but preserved an outward appearance of innocent uncon- sciousness.
 My dear," said Mrs. Jopkins, laying the paper gently aside, "Tm going to run over to Mrs. Hopkins minute. I won't be gone long,"
 She went over to the opposite neigh bor's. and while she was gone Jopkins had lots of fun. She came back pres entity, and Joplzins noticed she carried another paper under her shawl. She went upstairs and Jopl1ins leaned back in his chair and shook all over with joy.
 Best joke I ever got oil, he said to himself. Wont she be sold when tell her?'
 Mrs. Jopkinsremained upstairs about 20 minutes, and when she came down she had on her hat and street dress, and Joplzins felt his knees shake when he looked into her eye.
 ,'Wh-where are you going?a he asked.
 Where am l going?" said his wife. You want to know where 1 am going, you deceitful, disreputable, underhand- ed, depraved, villainous, brutal, wicked, unprincipIed scandalous, abandoned monster? I'm going home to my moth er!''
 "Wha-what's the matter?7 said Jop- lIins.
 Look at thatl" said Mrs. Hopkins, thrusting the paper in his face. Gut it out to hide it from me, did you? To think that I should ever have married such a ruffiani"
 Jopl1ins looked where her finger pointed and read:
 After the performance of The Devils Auction last night quite q re- cherche little supper was given to the leading lady actresses foy a few of their admirers. X prominent merchant whose name we withhold is said to have cut up some rather high jinks on the occasion. We wonder if his estimable and charming wife knew of his where abouts."
 A cold shiver ran over Jopkins. He was innocent, but he had neglected to read the other side of the clipping when he cut it out. He began to explain, and the milkman says he was still at it when he called with his regular morning supply of chemicals.
 As Mrs, Joplins was seen a week lat CT wearing an elegant new silk dress, to say nothing of "a dream of a bon net, it is presumed that the matter was satisfactorily arranged.-Tit-Bits.
