A salad suitable for the season Is
made of nuts, apples and celery. Cut
the apples in thin slices, shell and boil
the chestnuts fifteen minutes, or until
soft; drain, and when cool cut the
chestnuts and celery in slices. Moisten
with part of the dressing and put in
a salad bowl, with the remainder of
the dressing on top. Garnish with
celery tips. The dressing is made by
creaming one-fourth of a cupful of but
ter, seasoning it with one-half tea
spoonful of mustard and one salt
spoonful Of paprika. Add the beaten
yolks of two eggs and onefourth of a
cupful of vinegar, which must be hot.
Cook this over boiling water until very
thick, stirring often. Whip one-half
pint of cream and add it to the cold
dressing just before serving. A
chicken and walnut salad is made by
adding to an ordinary salad a couple
of dozen English walnuts which have
been parboiled and skinned. In boil
ing the nuts a slice of onion, a sprig
of parsley and little of the chicken
liquor should be added to the water.
When the skins have been removed
add the nuts to the chicken salad, gar
nish with celery and cover with mayon-
naise dressing.

! Croquet "as modernly played" to
use the picturesque words OF one of
its most eminent practitioners, is I'M
doubtedly a game Of many and high
merits, and just why the very mention
of it is sufficient to make the average
worldling smile with contempt not
the more kind because it tries to be
tolerant is a question not easy to
answer. As between golf and crouuet,
any disinterested observer-th is
any observer who, without the help
of experience in either, should try to
compare them-would almost inevita
bly, declare that croquet had more to
it, than golf, gave more opportunity
for the display of intelligence and
skill, developed more directly the joys
of battle, and in a dozen other ways
was the better game.

"More starching is a failure from
the starch being half cooked than fror
any other cause" said a capable
housewife who was complimented or
the perfection of the starched goods
that came up from her laundry. SO
make it rule to have the starcr
boiled steadily an hour before it is
strained After this some of it is
thinned to the proper condition for
dresses, shirt waists and other pieces
that require light starching." Starch
that is not boiled enough will stick to
the iron. If starch is not strained
there will be uneven places in it. 1t
is very little trouble to boil starch.
1t needs to be stirred few times
after it begins to boil Stretch a
triangular bag across a pail and pour
the starch through it. 1t will nearly
all soon drip through, and it requires
very little squeezing to press the re-
mainder through. There is always
some starch left in the strainer that
cannot be used. 1t saves time to skim
off the film that gathers over starch
that has been boiled for considerable
length of time.

A remarkable work is being done by
a young c~sored man in Chicago, and
the recital of it may be an inspiration
to others. Monroe f. Clark is his
name, and he is full l-blooded negro,
% years old. He went to Chicago
from Kentucky in the worlds fair
year, with no money, but with fairly
good education for one of his meagre
opportunities, and with good morals
and ambition. He became a newsboy,
and his attention to business and his
thrift soon enabled him to buy a
horse and wagon to use in his growing
news business. Now he owns and
uses eight carts and horses, and has a
smart trap in which to drive around.
He owns real estate in the city worth
some thousands of dollars, and also
$50 acres of land in Kentucky. Clark
is also philanthropist in small way.
Three years ago he established home
for his newsboys, now numbering 30,
the great majority of them negroes.
He couldn't bear, he says, to see the
little fellows 'going straight to the
reformatory and to the penitentiary, "
80 he renovated a rented barn, and
provides their board, lodging, and
recreation. He is ambitious now to
build good house for his boys. He
has the money, and is only waiting tc
secure the right piece of ground 'Tt
eats up good deal of my profits, y
he says. at costs me more to feed
and clothe these boys and send them
to school in winter than it would tc
hire them and let them shift for them.
selves. But I'm not very hungry fol

In the list of the Chancellerie of the
Legion of Honor appears the name of
Juliette Dodu, the only woman who
has been awarded the Cross of the
Legion in addition to the military
medal. In 1870 Juliette Dodu was a
telegraphic clerk at Pithiviers and on
the Germans taking possession of that
place during the Franco German war
a message was given to her to send to
Prince Charles Frederick. Realizing
that this meant disaster to q portion
of the French Army, she tore up the
message instead of sending it, and for
this act was condemned to be shot.
However, when the Prince arrived.
she was released and complimented
on her courage, for her daring act
had saved a whole French Army
Corps.

For Wet Weather Wear.

Dark blue and gray will be popular
for mackintoshes, but drab is about
the smartest color, after all. Perhaps
this color is trihe loud, but Fashion
says it is all right, and that, to most
most peoples minds, settles the af-
fair absolutely, though one must say
that personal appearance and good
taste should have at least equal weight
with being up to the latest mode. This
sac will never be improved upon for this
garment. 1t is good idea to have
epaulettes on the shoulders, and a
cape collar, from which the water
runs off easily, but if the sac hangs
out in pleat at the back, it accom-
plishes this. Walking in the rain
with the wet trickling off ones mack
intosh and getting into ones boots,
TO say nothing of spelling ones shirt,
is an exceedingly tiresome process.

zone of the reasons why women do
not appear to succeed is because they
seem unable to master the mathema-
tics pertaining to optics," said an au-
thorlty upon the subject, who trains
many pupils for the business. 'In
five years have had but eight women
students, and although all took full
course, only two have become success
full. The opportunities for entering
no college or medical school where
optics is taught. One can get the
training and knowledge only from the
customers themselves. 1t is necessary
to follow up quickly an idea conveyed
in patients remark until clear de-
ductions are made. 1t is proverbially
true that woman's perception and in
tuitions are quicker than mems, and
there is nofreason why quick, intel
ligent woman of mathematical turn
of mind cannot succeed as an optician.
'There is one woman in Charleston,
South Carolina, who has had extraor-
binary success as an optlclan. She
studied here in New York under me.
I am told by wholesale dealers in
glasses that her orders are the heavi-
est of any individual optician doing
business with them from the same
town.
Ninety eight per cent. of all eye
troubles are due to refractive errors
and not to disease, and, by the way,
half of the few cases where the trouble
is posterior, are incurable. So, you
see, the opticians work is distinct
from the oculist's, and the training re-
quired is almost entirely to be had in
active business. With certain nat
ural aptitude I see no good reason
why women cannot succeed as opti-
clans. The business is certainly profit
able and attractive. New York Com.

One of the first words that q baby
says is mamma, or mother, and it is
not strange, therefore, to find it one
of the first and simplest words in
every language. There is no word
easier for child to say than "ma, "
unlees it be "pa." In Hebrew and
Arabic mother is "em" and "am;" it
is imam" in Welsh and "moder" in
Anglo-Saxon. In other languages it
is slightly different, but near enough
like our own word "mother" to make
it an almost universal word, so that a
child crying in any language could be
understood in almost any other Ian
guage. Here are few of the names
Madr in Persian; Matr in Sanscrit;
Meter in Greek; Mater in Latin
Madre in Spanish; Mere in French ;
Moder in Swedish; Moder in Danish ;
Moder in Dutch; Mutter in German /;

The automobile will certainly bring
about great changes among all sorts
and conditions of men. The machine
is but in its infancy now, it may be
called mere baby in comparison with
what invention and progress will
make it. In our rural districts it is a
great curiosity now, but before many
years have passed away a horse in
these same districts will be a far
greater curiosity than an automobile.
