POINTS ON FOOD,

There is an unholy attraction about
phenomenally large specimens of veg
etables that should be strictly avoided
by the sensible housewife. Abnormal
growths, though they look very we'll
at a show, are not so well on the table.
Much of the, flavor is lost in the size,
and the vegetable, whatever it may be,
has a tendency to be rough and coarse
in texture. Vegetables and fruits that
have attained a medium size are far
more likely to be satisfactory in the
eating, and they are also more ecOnom-
ical to purchase and to use.
Young housewives are often puzzled
that their pies have a knack of sink
ing down in the middle, while those
turned out by more experienced hands
are d~ome-shaped and slightly. The ex-
PLANTATION is hat the latter have an in
verified cup placed in the middle be-
fore the fruit and crust is added. This
cup prevents the fruit juice from boil
ing over and also keeps the pie crust
from falling in. The juice is, by the
time the pie is served, almost all col
lected beneath the cup, which must be
raised by the server before sufficient
strip is obtained.
There Is no doubt that stewed fruit
is a most wholesome addition to Or
binary diet. There are, however, many
persons who cannot eat it, either on
account of the acidity of the fruit or Of
the large quantity of sugar required to
make it palatable. 1t should be re-
membered that sugar does not counter
act the acidity of the fruit, 1t simply
DISCUSSES it, and if much of it is used
it is apt to interfere with the digestive
organs. Before cooking the fruit,
sprinkle over it a small pinch of car
Donate of soda; this renders the dish
more wholesome and certainly more
tasty.
As much injury to health may result
from the eating Of poisonous fungi un-
der the guise of mushrooms, it is al
ways safest to subject these (so-called)
to some approved test. The simplest
is to sprinkle salt upon the spongy
part of the fungus and allow this to re-
main undisturbed for some minutes.
If the mushrooms turn yellow under
the action of the salt they are proved
poisonous: If black. they are whole
some eating. Edible mushrooms have
the spongy parts pinky red. with shad-
of liver color. The flesh and stem
are white. and the latter is solid and
round 10 shape.

ember the Oregon

The Oregon's magnificent behavior
under her terrific trials of endurance
is a matter of pride to every American,
because it proves that every bit of
work in her making, manning, and
sailing has been done on honor and
with skill. The Oregon shows us that
not only have we brave men and skill
full gunners such as fought in Manila
Bay, or drove Cervera's fast cruisers
ashore; self-sacrificing and able sailors
such as sunk the 'Merrimac" in San
tiago channel; hardy, cool soldiers
like the marines at Camp McCalla;
regulars and volunteers such as never
faltered in the storm of fire from the
defenders of Santiago-but also hon
est workmen at home. The Oregon's
record says that America is sound at
the core; that she has something fully
as important as the men behind the
guns"-namely, the men who make the
guns and the ships, and make them
sound and fit for any work. 1t is no
wonder that our ships, our guns and
our men are as good as the best, be-
cause, from the men in the foundries
to the admirals on their bridges, all
work is done by honest, competent,
patriotic Americans. So, if n
should be reluctant to join in the cry.
Remember the Maine!" there GER
tatnly is no man or woman, boy or
girl, who may not say with genuine
and heartfelt patriotism: Remember
the Oregon!"

Manual training in reformatories is
a valuable influence. Men are often
driven to crime, not because there is
no work for them to do, but because
they are not fitted to do any kind Of
work. They have not had the train
ing to fit them for life. Where the re-
formatories teach the convicts the use
of hands and utilization Of the senses
and this is followed by kindly and
helpful treatment by others reforma-
ton will be accomplished in many
cases. But the criminals too ready eX-
cuse for his crime that he could find no
honest employment Of his hands or his
brains IS seldom true.

She did not wait for his reply, but
hurried upstairs to the chamber, where
Hannah lay in a little bed afront the
hearth. The mother had been pretty
in her youth-indeed, she was not un-
comely even now-but the daughter
was wonderfully, piteously beautiful.
Her face was pure white, save for the
daintiest flush in the cheeks; her lips
were scarlet-hued and finely cut, her
great brown eyes luminous. She had
spread her nut-brown hair over the
embroidered pillow and crossed her
hands lightly over her breast. The
bedclothes concealed the emaciation
of her figure to some extent, but one
would surely have believed that as
much as could be distinguished was
that of a slender boy.
SIS he coming?" she said. "Oh,
mother, to think of 1t! That l should
care for him in this way when he only
kissed me once, and never spoke a
word that you mightn't have heard!"
Then she began coughing again, and
the blood speckled the cottonwood
that Mrs. Robson held to her lips.
When the paroxysm was over, she lay
back speechless. but her eyes were full
of questioning.
"Ay, my deary," said the mother.
"Mr. Fryston's gone for him, an he'll
be here anon"
The girl tried to speak again, but
the mother held up a warning hand.
