1t Is only recently that women have
appreciated the value Of good cook.
cry. The simple everyday things
have been considered Of little import
ance and often entirely neglected.
Even the cook books give but little IN.
formation about some Of the things
which everybody should know. Amsng
these Is cornmeaL when It Is properly
prepared 1t 10 q healthy article Of food.
But as It IL usually cooked 1t is indi-
gestible and unnt for even q strong
stomach. The common way Of max.
ing cornmeal mush, for instance, is to
stir the meal without measuring 1t into
boiling water until 1t is thick. and
when It has cooked nvs or ten minutes
It 10 done. BY this process 1t 10 hard
and raw, and wholly unit to eat. It
is surprising how much II is improved
by little extra cooking, and It can be
made Q delicacy with q very little
trouble.
Take one quart Of water. add one
teaspoon of salt. When Il boils stir In
one cup Of yellow cornmeai. Let II
boil for ten minutes. then set II back
on the stove, where It will cook slowly
and not burn, for one hour, stirring oc.
casionally. Pour into a mold and let
stand over night. In the morning II
will be firm enough to slice well, and
when 1t is dipped in grated bread
crumbs and quickly fried 1t will be
pleasant surprise to those who have
been accustomed to eating It the old
fashioned way.-CAicago Times-Her.

How t. Judge . Nan.

A contemporary gives the following
advice to Its fair readers: For a
mans birth, look to his linen and fn-
ger nails, and observe the infections
Of his voice. For his tastes, study the
color of his ties, the pattern and hang
Of his trousers, his friends, and his
rings, II any. For his propensities,
walk round and look carefully Mt the
back of his head. A symmetrical cere.
bellum, with well-trimmed hair, Is an
indication of self-control and energy.
II you want successful man, see that
he has neat foot; he will move quick
er, get over obstacles faster, than a
man who falls over his own toes and
trips up other folks with 'em, too.
For his breeding, talk sentiment to
him when he il starving, and ask him
to carry bandbex down the public
street when you've Just had q row. To
test his temper, tell him his nose IL q
little on one side and you don't like
the way his hair grows. There are
other ways which will suggest them.

The Quality Of Grace.

Many women neglect to cultivate a
graceful way Of rising from chair.
Probably nine women out of ten, In
rising from a seat, shift their weight
from one foot to another in the act Of
getting up, and start OF upon the
wrong foot. The proper way ia to rest
the weight upon one foot while still
sitting holding the other lightly upon
the floor. Now rise by pressing down
hard upon the foot that has previously
been bearing the weight, stand erect
and still for mere second to get poise,
and start of lightly upon the free foot.
II there is to be O turn in the walk
stop with all the weight upon the foot
that Is in advance; rest only the toe Of
the rear foot upon the ground, then
turn around smoothly by transferring
the weight TO the free foot making the
turn entirely upon the balls Of the feet.
with the heels scarcely touching the
floor. A turn like this is as rare as
1t Is graceful. yet II can be acquired In
half an hours practice.

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, q receptacle for the
urine, and as such II is not liable to
any form of disease except by one Of
two ways. The first way IL from
Imperfect action Of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment OF other diseases.

chAakd hY the GoYeRnmenA

Grounds Of the Borghese villa Pus-
chased by the Government.
An "open space" that has European
reputation has long been threatened
and has now at last been rescued from
the speculative builder. In no capital
has he been more active lately, or more
ferocious, than In Rome. He found
the old city marble and he is rapidly
leaving It tplaster. Everyone who knows
Rome will remember the beautiful
grounds Of the Villa Borghesc. just out
side the city walls, high upon the Pin
cian hill. Thence you look down on the
city stretching southwark beyond you,
and can see the sun setting behind St.
Peters.
In the healthiest quarter OF Rome. this
site was the very opportunity Of the
speculative builder, II chance were to
cast 1t into the market. And Of this
there has lately been an alarming prob
ability. The Borghese family were no
longer the inheritors Of their old opu-
lcnce. Year by year the quantity laid
out grounds were falling into neglect
and the artificial ruins were crumbling
In veritable decay. Once the Casino
held collection Of antique sculpture 80

to Paris, and the indemnity promised to
Prince Borghese Of that day--15, ,0O0, 900
francs-was pever psid. But the pedes-
tails were not left uno& &upied. and to this
day the Casino Is one of the sights Of
Rome.
The grounds themselves are in way
Its Hyde Park. It is here that, In the
season. in the winter months, and in
the carly spring, the fashion Of the mod
ern city Is seen, and scarcely day
passes but the scarlet liveries show that
the king or queen is driving In the
grounds. This "open space" was too
intimately associated with many sides
Of the life OF modern Rome to allow
Of its being sacrificed to the builder.
The municipality has bought It from
the family, to WHOM will be paid for
the concession an annuity of E6,ooO a
year.-LondOn News.

The Raw rgz Dict.

Raw eggs have always been consid
cred easy Of digestion. and more nour.
ishing than fried or cooked eggs. There
Ii no question about that. The raw
eggs are readily digested by the weak

repulsion at the thought Of swallowing
raw eggs: but this dislike is soon over.
come. The new cult start with raw
eggs and advocate their use in most
liberal manner. On rising in the morn
Ing one should mix up two or three
fresh eggs and swallow them down
raw. They can be taken into the stom-
ach like oysters, without chewing or
mastication of any kind. The stom-
ach can take care Of them. An egg
regimen Is nourishing, strengthening
and satisfying. They cause no irrita.
tion to the nerves, for there is no un-
digested matter to cause fermentation
In the stomach and poison the blood.
The egg diet is recommended in par
ticular to women. Pure milk should
be taken with the raw eggs, either in

bers Of the cult generally begin with
three or four eggs day, and grad
ually come up to eight and ten. Some
have such good appetites that they
soon learn to eat fifteen and twenty
raw eggs a day. They eat nothing else
for breakfast than raw eggs and milk,
and the same diet 10 taken again at
noon, or just upon retiring. The effect
Of this raw egg diet with little milk
Is quite apparent to those engaged In
sedentary pursuits. The skin becomes
white, soft and clear; the nerves are
quieter and more restful; and pains
and aches Of the stomach. kidneys and
liver and head soon disappear.

Vicious Kinds Of Fish.
