THE FRYING PAN.
4 Wonderful and Important Kitchen
Utensil That Has Been Much
Abused.

Because anything is or has been
made the subject of abuse, it does not
follow that it is altogether and under
ell circumstances bad,' was the ex-1
clamation of On experienced cook
after spirited discussion upon the
merits and deme is of the frying pan.
There seems to be violent prejudice
against this very useful and really i'm
portant kitchen utensil. In my own
household the broiler is almost en-
tirely discarded in favor of the frying
pan, and that, too, after an early train
ing that comprehended the broiler and
condemned the frying pan in unmeas-
ured terms. The trouble is that very
few persons appear to take the pains
TO use the frying pan properly.
Tie pan must be smoking hot and
into it put small bits of suet. When
these are crisped put in the steak,
which should be at least 1H inches
thick. Almost instantly turn 1t over
and see that every part is brought in
contact with the hot fat. This sears
the surface over and keeps in the
juices of the meat. Turn it at least
twice every minute and do not let
1t rest for single instant in one
place, so that 1t may adhere to the bot
tom of the pan. This continual NOV
ing about is the secret of the success
of frying meat. In most cases the pan
is heated with the scraps of fat until
the contents are scorched or burned
black. Then the steak is dropped in
haphazard and allowed TO stand until
the juices gather in puddles on the
top. Then it is turned over and the
liquid runs down into the burned fat
and is soon transformed into what is
equivalent to coal and embers. In this
mixture the meat SINNERS AID steams
until its flavor is destroyed. and it,
consistency is more like leather than
anything else in the known world.
That such meat is not approved or
relished may be taken almost as
matter of course.
Contrast this with the scientific fry,
where the steak is scarcely allowedtto
touch the pan in the same. place for an
instant. The fat is boiling-indeed,
smoking-but not burned. The juice
cells are effectually closed, and the
high degree of heat penetrates the
meat, cooking it to the last degree OF
perfection. The platter is heated and
ready with IN abundance of good,
sweet butter, cut in small pieces, and
a plentiful supply of salt and pepper.
The steak comes boiling hot from pan
to platter and Is turned over in the
butter and seasonings at least three or
four times. 1t is then ready for serv-
ing or for the mushroom or any other
dressing that may be desired.-N. Y

SUMMER SEWING.
A Little Light Work with the Needle
May Help to Pass the Time
Pleasantly.

The sultry days of midsummer are
not likely to inspire the seamstress
to special efforts. Sewing is monot-
onous but exactiEg work that requires
agreeable weather and the incentive
of comfortable surroundings to pre-
vent its becoming drudgery. Under
satisfactory surroundings the needle
is o solace to womanly woman.
There are very few women who do not
find in such work satisfaction which
may be entirely iincommensurate with
the actual value of the work accom-
plishcd. What abstruse household
problems are solved and what number
less perplexities are untangled while
the housewife sits quietly hemming
piazza! Sewing has soothing effect
on the nerves, and occupies the mind
only enough to keep off ennui. The
steady, even action of the hands is in
evitably accompanied by similar nc
ton of the thoughts that prepares the
most nervous woman to take a some
what philosophic view of affairs.
In the calm OF the afternoon she
quietly stitches away with her needle,
and the breeze that comes from flow
er-laden meadow grass brings its balm
of fragrance at this time, when she is
able to commune with herself over
''seam and gussct and band"
In these modern days, when all of
the drudgery of sewing has been dele
gated to the sewing machine, the re-
frain of Hoods famous song carries
no pathos with it as it did in that olden
time. The capable seamstress, even
though she is compelled to earn with
her needle daily bread and provide the
rooftree that covers her from storm,
is an independent woman. The in
capable remain, here as in every other
class of workers, alternately appeal
ing to our pity and rousing us to solve
q problem that through all the ages
has remained unsolvcd. There are very
few women who would be willing to re.
sign all the pleasure with all the work
of sewing to alien hands. Under vari-
Gus excuses they go back to 1t when
all their circumstances call them to
different work. 1. is pleasant to recall
the number of women who have found
delight In the ne edle. 1t is a proud
procession and democratic one. The
names OF famous queens and royal
princesses lead the procession, dating
from those days when needlework was
the exclusive employment of women
of rank. To-day 40 woman is so hum
BILE nor SO poor but that the privi-
lege is hers of using the needle. Let
us recall sometimes the days that are
not so far removed from this century
when steel needles were unknown. and
the coarse, shape!ess garments of the
time were sewn together with wooden
needles.-N. Y. Tribune.

CAN SEE THINGS GROW.
The Tnll Story London Paper Tells
About n Recent German
Invention.

The farmers wall about bad wealth
err, and cattle disease has become o
dead letter, says London Tit-Bits.
Prof. Sciinck. of Stuttgart, Ger
many, says that he cannot only grow
your vegetables while you wait-right
from the seeds 20 the full-blown cab
bage or lettuce as the case may be-
but can also rear the newborn calf
into the prime healthy OK in a few
hours.
In the case of the vegetable king
dom, scientists have long been on the
verge of the professors discovery. 1t
has long been known that if potash
were applied to potatoes the seed
yielded more than double the quanti-
ty, and, which is more important. that
disease seemed to disappear.
Now. Prof. Schinck, not only uses
potash, but mixes it with albumen.
The exact process is not yet known.
You call at, say, midday, and in your
presence he will plant cabbage seed
in u substance which looks like red
earth.
Then he will take the newly-born
calf, which again you can supply, and
commence injecting his concoction
into It.
know it is hard to believe, but you
can actually see the plant and animal
growing, and by $3.50 the cabbage will
be full-grown. and the calf about the
size of healthy lS-month animal.

MALE DOLLS
They Form Only Five Per Cent. of the
Total, Dut Many Of Them
Have Character.

OF the doll population males form
perhaps five per cent. and females
05 per cent. Many dolls are capab Bile
of passing as either. according to the
way in which they are dressed, but
in some the male sex is indicated by
parting their hair on the side. An
other popularity about boy dolls is
that great many of them represent
types. Many sailor dolls are sold,
some of them logged out in white
flannel suits Of the regulation cut and
with the broad top sailor hats. making
very trim and jaunty figures. There
ore dolls dressed as Little Lord
Fauntleroys. There Is boy doll
known from its dress as marquis.
and there is farmer boy. standing
with his suspenders over his shoulders
and wearing straw hat, very pretty
figure indeed. There are many har-
lequin figures and many Santa Clauses
and many negro boys, these including
dolls Of worsted. Some boy dolls and
girl dolls are sold together in pairs
There is. for instance, couple known
as the bride and bridegroom; another
pair Is known as Uncle Sam and the
Goddess OF Liberty. says the New York
Sun.
Among more conventional styles
there are boy dolls dressed as little
men and wearing derby hats, and boy
dolls dressed as old men and rs chill
dren, and then there are handsome big
boy dolls dressed in silks and satins.
Boy dolls are sold at all sorts of
prices. Sailor boys, for instance, cost
each.

FASHIONS FOR BABY.
Oaintiness Is the Chief Feature to BE
Considered in the Making of
His Clothes.

Fashions in babies clothes seem
rather amusing, but there are changes
each new season in the manner and
details of the making. AS far as the
outlay of money goes, there is hardly
a limit to the amount it is possible to
spend, but daintiness is the chief fea-
dure to be consideration the par
cnts' circumstances and common sense
should surely limit the expenditure.
From six to ten long dresses COM
pose the usual outfit, some of them
simply made, some deliberately
trimmed. 1t Is now the fashion to
change the little ones from long to
short clothes at as early an age as
four months. French nainsook is the
favorite material for the finer dresses.
Just now the inevitable yoke in the
baby's gown Is cut square, not quite
extending over to the arm size. and
edged with frill and beading. For
the filling in of the yoke there are
two pretty ways, both equally popu-
lar. One is rows of hemstitched tucks,
running from the neck downward, the
other alternate rows of lace and en-
broidery insertions, the embroideries
being often almost as fine and as trans
parent as the lace.
A pretty bib has scalloped upper
