A Few Good Recipes.

The following recipes taken from an
exchange will help the busy house
wife during these trying months, when
Vegetables are scarce:

A HELPFUL CORNER.
British Housekeepers.

We cannot help admiring the neat
business system on which English
households are run, says "The House
Beautiful" A family knows exactly
what it can afford, and equally well
what it cannot; it lays out it's years,
it's months, it's weeks, it's days al
lOwance with rigid hand. Certain
things must be had of course; ones
afternoon tea cannot be omitted, for
instance. But fruit, which we consider
so essential, is by no means thought
necessary in England. They eat enor-
nous quantities of bread, and more
cheese and butter. Cheese is another
necessity of life. But pies-tarts as
they call them-are luXuries, and so
are cakes. A man dimes well off a
chop and stick of celery, if need be;
but he must have his wine. Our men
in similar circumstances would not
dream of wine, but would consume a
large segment of apple pie, and a cup
of coffee. In regulating the English
family expenses, therefore, tea, which
is drunk at breakfast as we'll as in the
afternoon, and wine or beer play a
large part; but fruit and coffee may be
altogether absent.
HOusekeepers make a business of
their domestic calling. They don't
talk about it as if it were a burden,
or try to get rid of it. The sugar and
tea, and eggs are weighed ont, for the
day, the orders are written down, the
menu is made out. If a new busting
cloth is needed, it is provided with
solemn injunctions as to how long it
must last and severe structures on the
carelessness that used up the last one
a day too soon. Corners and cup
boards are investigated, mending is
given out and there is general over
hauling of everything early in the day.
Then domestic matters are dismissed
until the next morning.
The beauty of the average middle
class system of English housekeeping
is that it looks liberal and is so eco
nOmical-t that is to say so measured.
In French houses there is nothing left
from one day to another; in English
houses there is a great deal left but
it is carefully kept and rc-prcpared,
not one ounce is wasted. 1t costs
more than French housekeeping, but
there is more comfort in it.

of cracker,) and let them stand a few
SO that they will not touch
each other. Then dip them carefully
in egg beaten with one tablespoon
milk or water, drain off that does not
adhere, and roll in crumbs again. Let
them stand ten minutes to dry off,
keeping them quite apart, and if damp
roll again in the crumbs. Have a ket-
tie half full of hot lard, smoking, and
hot enough to quickly brown a cube
of bread while you count forty. Put
only a few in a wire basket, quite
apart from one another, so they will
brown all overland leave them in the
fat while you count sixty. They
should be a light yellow brown, not
dark at all.
Shadow Potatoes.-Wash and pare
potatoes and slice thinly into a bowl
of cold water. Let stand two hours,
changing the water twice, and it is
much better if they can be allowed to
stand over night, as the potatoes when
fried will be more crisp. Drain,
plunge into kettle of boiling water
and boil just one minute by the clock
Again drain and cool with cool water.
Take from the water and dry between
towels, as, unless thoroughly dried the
water will cause the fat to spatter.
Fry in deep fat, which has not been
used many times, drain OH brown pa
per and sprinkle with salt.
Cheese SOuff1e-Put two teaspoon
fuls Of butter into a saucepan and add
one heaping teaspoonful Of -four, half
a teaspoonful of salt, and a few
grains of cayenne, or half a salt
spoonful of paprika. Cook two min
utes, add the yokes of three well beaten
eggs and one cup full of grated cheese.

moderate oven.

ternoon tea cakes, will prove helpful
to some of our readers, no doubt:
She who would have her afternoon
tea table attractive likes to keep on
hand an ample supply of dainty little
cakes with which to regale the
chance guest and the members Of hel
family. These cakes should not be
very rich or very sweet lest they mar
the flavor of the tea and spoil the ap-
petite for the dinner that will be serv-
ed in a couple of hours. Such pre-
parations as chocolate cake, molasses
jumbles or cream puffs are to be ia
booed from the five o'clock tea-bOard,

TELLER AND HOAR
Discuss Expansion in the Sen
ete-1wu GreAt speeches.

washington, Jan. 24-Two notable and
interesting speeches were delivered in
the senat today. one. by AR. Lodge. OF
Massachusetts,. and the other by Mr.
Clay Of Georgia. While the two senators
differed diametrically on the ideas Of
expansion, upon which they dwelt they
are both in favor Of the immediate rat
incation Of the pending peace treaty
They contend that once the treaty is
ratified, congress will have tul lpower to
deal with conditions respecting the ter
ritory acquired during tho war with
Spain and not before. Mr.. Lodge partic-
ularly argued for forma declaration
of peace which could be had only BY the
ratification OF the treaty.
Mr. lodge spoke for nearly half an hour
His delivery was earnest and his ad-
dress held the attention OF both sena-
tors and occupants Of the gallery At the
conclusion Of Mr. Lodges speech. Mr
Teller addressed the senate upon ques-
uon with respect 70 the constitutional
powers OF the government IN the terri
tories both prior to the starting Of the
legislative machinery relating to the ter
ritories and subsequently thereto His
speech was a resume Of the legislative
acts Of the congress relating to the ter
ritories and the constitutional bearings
OF those acts.
Mr. Clay then addressed the senate.
At the conclusion Of Mr. Clay's speech
Mr. Davis was recognized to move an
executive session.
TELLER AND ROAR.
He yielded 70 Mr. Teller. who desired
% make an addition TO the authorities
which he had previously citde upon the
force and effect Of the constitution In
the territories. He read an extract from
a speech OF Mr.. websers dealing with
the rights OF the inhabitants OF terri
tories Of the United States. He expressed
belief that the citation he had made
coverd a point raisd prviously by Mt
Hoar
Mr.. Hoar in reply contended that the
quotation from Webster that Mr. Teller
ad referred to did not cover his point
His desire was, he said, to know before
the senate's feet was entangled by the
ratification OF the treaty, whether the
FNlipinos were to be regarded as citizens
or subjects OF the United States Mr.
noar argued that they would ue citizens
and that If the Philippines were taken by
