A LESSON IN BOILING.
Satisfactory Cooking Depends Largely on
This Trivial Process.

Sallie Joy White lays down these
valuable rules for boiling in Cookery
For Girls in The Woman's Home
Companion:
For all green vegetables use soft
water, sailed and freshly boiling. Cook
rapidly until soft. The time will depend
upon the age or the freshness of the veg
etable.
"With green peas, shelled beans,
green corn, asparagus, celery and spin
ach use as little water as possible, and
let it boil away, leaving just enough to
moisten, and thus save all the desirable
soluble matter that may have been
drawn out. Cook cabbage and cauli-
flower uncovered, in a large kettle of
rapidly boiling water, sailed and with
a saitspoonful of soda in it; onions,
scald and change the water twice. All
others cook in water enough to cover,
and drain it off after cooking. Green
summer squash, cabbage and other wa
terry vegetables should be pressed in a
cloth or strainer and we'll drained.
Many people who attempt to cook
are apt to forget that there is a wide
distinction between boiled water and
boiling water, and that the freshness
is lost by long boiling, SO that the soon
er water is used after it has reached
the boiling point the more satisfactory
the cooking will be. If water stands
after boiling, it loses it's vitality and
cannot be used with good results That
is why tea and coffee are so frequently
fiat and lifeless, without sparkle or
favor; not because the leaves and ber-
ries are not good, but because they are
improperly made with boiled water
instead of freshly boiling water.

The Glamour of Art.

Do you think that Greek art ever tells
US what the Greek people were like?
Do you believe that the Athenian wom-

ures of the Parthenon frieze or like
those marvellous goddesses who sat in
the triangulsr pediments of the same
building? If you judge from the art
they certainly were SO. But read an au-
thority like Aristophanes. for instance.
You will find that the Athenlan ladies
laced tightly, wore high heeled Shoes
dyed their hair yellow, painted ard
rouged their faces and were exactly like
any silly, fashionable or fallen creature

nately, has never once told us the truth

vULcANIzED RUBBER.


Discovery.
1t is a bitterly cold night about the
year 1910. Around the cracked, unpol-
ished kitchen stove of one of Boston S
humblest homes are huddled man, his
wife and family. The surroundings are
of the plainest possible. OF furniture
there is scarcely a piece that would
bring anything at pawnshop, but OF
evidence OF squalor and want there is
abundance Part of the two remaining
chairs has just been broken mp to keep
the fire from dying out, and as the
flames crackle with renewed life the
man picks from the floor dark looking
substance and gazes at it With longing
that is pathetic. He holds it up and
studies it with many sigh that cuts
the heart of his faithful wife and his
loyal children. In changing this sub
stance from one hand to the other it
drops upon the hot stove. There is a
sudden filling of the room with pun
gent, offensive odor before the man,
with startled cry, can snatch the now
half scorched substance from the stove
But there is marked change on the
mans face as he examines the burned
spots. He feels the substance with
new and intense interest. Is he near the
end of years of labor, suffering and dis
appointment? Thanks to the cold out
side, it will not take long to decide.
The burned substance is hung outside
the door. In an hour the cold has not
affected it. In two hours it still retains
the properties most desired. In the
morning no change has taken place. A
great discovery is complete. Charles
Goodyear has found the process of max
ing vulcanized rubber.
Here, then, was Goodyear, after years
of varying hopes and unvarying i'll for
tune, in possession of a secret that was
destined to place his name in the high
est niche of fame. But this knowledge
did not bring him immediate fortune
in fact, this he never secured. He had
lost the confidence of all who had help
ed him, and for two years his sufferings
surpassed even those of the years of ex
perimenting. At this time he moved to
New York, and it was said of him, eff
you meet man who has on an india
rubber coat, cap, stock, vest and shoes,
with an india rubber purse, without
cent in it, that is Goodyear. He had
to pawn all his furniture for food, and
he pledged an umbrella with Vanderbilt
to secure a few ferry tickets to the city.
At last enough money was secured to
put his invention on the market, and
Goodyear's process very soon made the
manufacture of rubber goods one of the
principal industries of the world. But
although others made immense fortunes
out of vulcanized rubber the inventor
got little share of it. He went to Eng
land and France exhibiting his products.
He was awarded the great council
medal at the exhibition of all nations
at Londonin 1851, the grand medal of
honor to the world S exhibition at Paris
in 1885, and was presented with the
cross of the Legion of Honor by Napo-
leon III Yet with all these honors he
died comparatively poor man at the
Fifth Avenue hotel in New York July

NELL TARLETON.


Run, honey, run Heah come de
Yankeesl"
Such was the cry which reused Nell
carleton from bed that summer evening
when General Butler, at the head of the
Federal troops. swooped down upon City
Point, Va, and blocked the road to Pc
bersburg.
Nell Tarleton dwelt with her mother
and baby brother in their old fashioned
home on the James river. The father of
the family was away on the Potomac,
Fighting the battles of the Confederaoy,
and only a few faithful negroes remain
ed to guard Mrs. Tarleton and her chill
dren.
AS Nell sprang from her bed she
heard the rattle of musketry up the riv-
or. A shell tore, screaming, over the
house, followed by another and another.
Then there burst forth from the stables
a lurid glare, and she heard her moth
er's distracted voice shrieking that the
negro quarters were afire.
Nell's fingers trembled violently, but
Ehe managed to don her frock and get
her shoes before old Aunt Drusilla came
numbering up the stairs and drove the
rhild, shoes in hand, from the room.
"Doan min yo' shoes till yo' gifts out
D. fiahp' exclaimed Aunt Drusilla, reso-
lutely, and SO, barefooted and half clad,
Nell hurried through the confusion of
the hall and into the lawn before the
house.
