COOKING VEGETABLES
A Few Rules Whose Observance Will
Add Materially to the Pleas
ures of the Table.

1t is q well-known fact that beans,
lentils and split peas do not boil soft in
hard water The sulphate of gypsum,
the salts of lime, coagulate the casein
which these seeds contain. In some
cases, however, the solvent power of
pure soft water is so great that it de-
stroys the firmness, color and skin of
green vegetables and allows their juices
to be extracted in the process of boiling
1t is especially true of beans and green
peas. Therefore, hard water, instead
of soft, should be employed in these
cases. A tablespoonful of salt added to
a gallon of soft water hardens it imme-
diately. Eminent French authorities
say use one tablespoon of carbonate OF
ammonia for producing the same re-
suits.
If green vegetables are wilted, soak
them for more than an hour in pure
cold water.
String beans usually need to boil for
IS minutes. The addition of small bit
of salt pork will generally minimize any
rank flavor and will improve them.
When done, drain thoroughly, season
with salt, pepper and butter.
Turnips, carrots, cabbage and onions
should be boiled in great deal of wa
ter and taken up Immediately and
drained when sufficiently done; over
cooking destroys the taste, and too lit
tie water will allow them to turn dark
in color.
New potatoes are the best baked.
A very little sugar added to tomatoes,
squash, peas, corn, beets and turnips
will improve them.
Turnips will cook more quickly when
cut into thin slices otherwise they
will need to cook long time.
Caulif1ower should be tied in a net to
prevent boiling to pieces.
Summer squash should be steamed
and not boiled.
Put a piece of bread the size of an
egg into cheesecloth bag and drop
into a pot of boiling greens to absorb
the odor.
A little pinch of cayenne dropped into
boiling cabbage, green beans, onions,
etc, will lessen the disagreeable odor
All dried leguminoEs vegetables,
such as dried beans, peas, etc., should
be put on in cold water, and when they
reach the boiling point should be al
lowed to simmer until done.-Phila-
delphia Press.

Smallest Capital In EurOpe.

Cettigue, the capital Of the independ-
ent principality of Montenegro, would
make poor showing by the side of even
the smaller Illinois villages. 1t con-
sists of two streets and a square. The
royal palace, which fronts directly on
the street, is not as large as many farm
houses, and the royal church, where
Montenegrin princes are crowned, seats
only 100 people The rest of the houses
in the capital are mainly occupied by
members of the diplomatic corps, al
most all of the European capitals being
represented by ministers who have
nothing in the world to do but pass the
time as best they may. In winter the
capital of Montenegrin is even more
desolate and forlorn. Snow to the epth
of four or five feet often covers the
streets and keeps the royal and other
residents within doors.-Cficago Trib-
une.

very pretty costume, and one that con-
trasts effectively with the white sand
of the seashore, is developed in white
English serge trimmed with bands of
sea green brilliantine. The skirt drops
evenly with the knee line and is faced
with sea green wash silk.
The waist is cut on plain lines with
square neck finished with bands of
green silk. The sleeves are very short
puffs and are unconfned, many being
of the opinion that bands around the
arms, even though loose, prevent an
absolutely free movement.

"GOING TO BUY A BUGGY"
Mortgage Gotten Out of the Way
Typical Story of Nebraska
Farmers Experience.

4 few years ago hard times made
the Western farmer deny himself
everything save the barest necessities
of life. Then came the great crop
year of 1897 and with it a story.
A Nebraska farmer carried mort
gage of $4,000 on his property, and it
was a burden hard to contend with.
The wheat crop in '97 was enormous
and prices were high. He appeared
at the bank shortly after harvest,
pulled out $4,000 and asked for a loan
of $500 to enable him to cancel the
mortgage note. The banker, who held
the note, urged him not to bother about
it, but go and buy cattle with his
$4,000, feed his corn crop and in that
way get the maximum for his product.
mo, sir" replied the farmer, Il want
to pay that note now. Then when l
harvest the corn crop I'm goin' to pay
YOU back that $500 | just borrowed,
and then do you know what I'm going
to do?" and his honest face beamed all
over with pleasure. I'm going 10 buy
a buggy!" This little incident tells the
story of thousands of others out IN
Nebraska, and the fact that during the
past six months one concern in Chicago
shipped 20 one firm in Omaha alone one
hundred and thirty carloads Of buggies
and carriages, averaging about % to the
car, makes it very evident that prosper
ity is with Nebraska. 1t is wonderful

crops of the past few years have ppt

13 little stalls about nine inches wide.
These stalls are simply boards five

the pigs out of the trough and from

AMONG THE POULTRY.

The hen that is a good layer is nearly
always an early riser.
Always use a small, active, vigorous
male in preference to large one.
Turkeys are very fond of milk and
may be given all that they viii drink.
Eggs turned once a week will keep
much longer than those left undis-
turbed
Young ducks drink water very often
when eating. They should be plentiful
ly supplied.
Never keep breeding birds over four
years old when younger ones can read
lily be procured.
Large males bred on small hens are
apt to produce long-legged fowls that
are not always desirable.
SO far as can be done, the pullets that
are to be kept as layers should be from
the best hens in the flock.
While turkeys and geese are profita-
BILE fowls to keep, they require plenty
of room. They should not be kept I'M
less free range can be given.
When the hens scour speedy remedy
is to feed powdered chalk in the soft
food; but the best regulator of the
bowels is greater variety of food.
Gapes are really the result of certain
conditions of the soil that are favorable
to their propagation. They prevail
mostly on old farms that have been
occupied by poultry for some time

GETTING A DINNER.
How Two ScheminE Rascals We
timizcd n Stranger on the
Paris boulevard.

The other day rather amusing
scene was witnessed on a Paris boule-
ward. Two friends of rather eXcitable
temperament perceived quietly sitting
at the foot of table in front of cafe
an enormous dog, with head, teeth
and claws that would have done credit
to lion.

"What, that dog!" said the other.
"Why, he wouldn't move paw"
The dispute grew warm, and the first
speaker emphatically declared:
II bet dinner that you won't ven-
ture to touch its mastcr!"
Not venture, indeed! You shall soon
see!" was the quick rejoinder.
So saying, the latter dealt box on
the ears of gentleman who was drink
ing glass of beer at the table where
the dog sat-
The gentleman uttered a loud cry and
rushed upon his assailant; the dog re-
manned impassive. An explanation fol-
lowed, and the injured gentleman was
informed of the wager in question.
But the dog isn't NINE" he howled,
in tremendous passion.
An hour later, however, you might
have observed through the windows of

away three jovial guests sitting before
a sumptuously spread table, and dis
cussing the merits of several bottles
of old wine. They were the bettors and
their victim.-Tit-Bt
