MonotOny in Cooking.

Monotony in the system Of cookery is
a great failing. Variety in food is not
only charming, but it is especially
wholesome. The housekeeper should
bestow as great care upon the variety of
the meal to be served as upon the meal
itself. And to do this it is essential
that certain amount of practical
knowledge of the art of cookery be
called into play by the mistress of the
household.
1t requires time and careful study to
become an artist in any department Of
life.
To be thorough in the knowledge of
cooking means to the housekeeper all
that it is possible to obtain in a pro-
ficiency in any other trade or profess
sion.
Unless the mistress of the household
is disposed to bestow a certain amount
of consideration on the matter of food,
the family all the year around must ad-
here to the same bill of fare. Drop in,
say Wednesday, and you know what
joint will be served. There is never any
change. Neither is the method of pre-
pairing the meal altered.
No matter how we'll cooked or how
well served the meal may be, if it is
spiced with monotony, the same will be
fertile in subtle distinctions, which will
be communicated to every member of
the household.
Some one, most likely the housekeep-
er herself, will be possessed of a desire
to ego somewhere" that she may have
an opportunity to partake of somebody
elses cooking" A fretful state of mind
will betray itself, and bad attack OF
dyspepsia will be felt, and all because
time has not been taken to explore the
markets or grocery stores And the
knowledge of cookery, called in to di-
rect the best way such and such things
shall be cooked, to give variety.
And in doing this it is not necessary
to incur d greater expense. The rule
may be observed as we'll by the frugal
as the more extravagant. So let us
have more variety in cooking.-L

A New Cushion Filler.

If during the summer months you in
tend to keep your fingers busy, perhaps
the result will be number of pretty
covers for cushions, and you are won
dering where you are to get enough fea-
theirs or down to fill them all. Either
make more or less expensive filing
and l know of one thing which costs
nothing and is very satisfactory. The
next time the lawn is cut, rake up the
sweet-smelling grass and spread it in
the sun on clean boards, or an old
sheet, where it will dry nicely. Make
the ticks for your cushions, leaving
them open at both sides instead of one,
and press the grass in closely, but do
not make them hard; sew up the sides,
cover with layer of scented cotton,
cover again with thin cheese cloth
cover, and they are ready for outside
covers, and will last for years.-Jenny

How to Keep Young.

(FrOm Harper BaZdr.)
If we take a little leaf out of the
mind-cure books, we can have physical
regeneration through youthful spirit,
which must find expression. Cast away
sadness-for that is hateful to youth
and cultivate instead real interest in
all that is going on, whether in the
world about you or the great world
Observe a young girl of normal intelli-
gence, who has not been spoiled"
Could anything be more striking than
her keen, voracious interest, in con-
trast to the tired apathy of the elders?
Keep your interest alive, feeding it on
catholicity of subjects, as you value
your youth; for if certain muscles are
not used they will atrophy, and you will
be old, no matter what is the date of
your birth. Every human being you
encounter is the central point of the
universe from his or her point of view;
how, then, can such one escape the
interest of others? Every life has it's
life aims just as vital as yours. Inter-

intent at heart, you will find the spirit
refreshed.
Away back in nursery days we learn
of the little girl who wept in coptem-
plating the bridge she did not have to
cross after all; but the lesson did not go
very deep, for we keep on worrying,
until we have lines up and down the
forehead and lines across "The thirty
year marks" they call them, but that is
mistake. Thirty years of worry would
wrinkle marble forehead, but thirty
years of optimism would keep smooth
the most delicate skin. Worry spoils
the digestion and brings ill-health,
which in turn ruins beauty. Worry
enwraps the mental faculties and pre-
vents them from free exercise, hamper
ing judgment and shutting out light
Even those who do it most know these
things we'll, yet still keep on; for not to
worry means a condition of spiritual
strength and elevation which is only
attained by gradual process, and every
one has not learned the way. The lines

The Strike of the Fireworks.
Twas the night before the Fourth Of
July the people slept serene;
The fireworks were stored in the old
town hall that stood on the vii
lage green. |,
The steeple clock tolled the midnight
hour, and at it's final stroke
The fire in the queer old-fashioned stove
lifted it's voice and spoke;
1.-The earth and air have naught to do,
the water, too, may play,
And only fire is made to work on indie
pendence Day.
Il won't stand such injustice! It's
wrong, beyond a doubt
And l shall take my holiday. Good-by,
I'm going OUT"
Up spoke a Roman candle then: ''The
principle is right!
Suppose we strike. and all agree we will
not work tonight"
my stars!' said a small sky-rocket
When the whole town comes together
tonight, the great display to see!"
''Let them come" said a saucy pin
wheel; Eyes, let them come if they
like,
AS a delegate I'll announce to them that
the fireworks are going to strike!"
my friends said a small cap-pistol,
this movement is all wrong
Gunpowder noise and fireworks to
Fourth of July belong.
My great ancestral musket made indie
pendence Day;
l frown on your whole conspiracy, and
you are wrong, say!"
And so they talked and they argued
some for and some against
And they progressed no further than
they were when they commenced,
Until in a burst of eloquence a queer
little piece of punk
Arose in his place and said, Il think we
ought to show some spnnk,
And l for one have decided, although 1
am no shirk,
That today is legal holiday, and not
even fire should work
"And I am of some Importance
he gave a pretentious cough
'For without my assistance none of you
could very we'll be put off,
"You are right" said the Roman candle:
land think we are all agreed
To strike for our rights and our liberty.
Hurrah we shall succeed"
The dissenters cried with one accord:
Our objections we withdraw
Hurrah, hurrah for the fireworks
strike!" and they cried again,
"Hurrah!"
Then match piped up with tiny
voice, your splendid scheme l
like.
l agree with all your principles, and SO
l, too, will strike!"
Suiting the action to the word, the silly
little Ounce
Clambered down from his match-safe
and excitedly struck at once!
He lost his head, and he ran around
among the fireworks dry,
And he cried, "Hurrah for the fireworks
strike! Hurrah for the Fourth OF
July!"
With his waving flame he lit the punk

ADOPTED BY FACULTY..
,h.n,e. i'm Method of Work in Column
bian Law school.

Some important changes in the methods
Of work have been adopted by the faculty
of the Law School of the Columbian Uni
vers,tv. One of these is in regard to ex-
mutations. Heretofore examinations to de-
termine a student a. right to advancement
or to a degree have been held at the end
of each year. The faculty. however. have
decided to pursue 4 different course, and
hereafter examinations will be held at the
conclusion of each subject in the course.
Nv this plan students Will have the ad-
vantage Of taking examinations while the
subject is fresh in their minds, and the
leading principles involved therein, which
will he covered by the examination, will
thus be strongly impressed upon the mind.
This method will obviate the severe and
u1 satisfactory work so generally In vogue
of scramming'' on great variety of sub
iects at the end of the year.
| Another important measure has been
adopted providing for class discussions and
conferences, which, as far as practicable,
will follow each lecture upon every sub
iect. These conferences will be conducted
by each professor. The students will be
privileged to ask questions on points not
thoroughly understood. The professors will
answer the questions or call upon the men,
bers of the class to do SO. In this way the
difficult points in. each lecture will be clear
ed up as the course proceeds.

COMMERCE OF HAVANA.
OF the S2.17O.254 in Exports the United
States Took $I,342,360.


The War Department made public today a
most remarkable statement of exports at
the port of Havana for the month of Au-
gust, 1899 August usually has been con-
sidered the poorest month of the year for
export trade. Nevertheless, the exports for
the month reached the ma gniticent sum Of
S2170,2y4.
OF this grand total the United States
alone took $1,j42, 800 worth of mercantile
products, and, in addition, received $4,000
in gold coin.
On the basis of 81, 10 294 worth of exports
of merchandise for a single month, and that
not the best month Of the year, the export
trade of the island for the year at the port
of Havana alone would reach the handsome
sum Of S23,O43,52S These figures are es-
demonstrate the future possibilities of Cuba
when she shall have reached higher state
of internal development.
Another feature of the statement worthy
of comment is the part played by the Unit
ed States in Cuban commerce. Those who
study the figures will discover that the
United States bought more of Cuban pro-
ducts during August than all other coun-
tries combined. OF the merchandise ex-
ported during August the United States
took $2,923 worth of preserved fruits; $1,000
worth of hides and skins; 5000 worth of
parafiin. stearine and wax; $41,2SO worth

ing Condition of BennfnG Road.
The condition Of Benning road was the
subject of discussion at public meeting
held last night at Keysers Hall In Ben
ming, and although notice of the meeting
was only sent out but few hours before
there was a fair attendance of citizens. In
calling the meeting to order the chairman
reviewed the general subject, going back
for two years and claiming gross negligence
on the part of somebody for allowing the
Columbia Railway Company to secure it's
charter without a penalty clause, which
would have tended to hasten the completion
of the railway within the time limit. This
limit it was stated, expired the 18th of
June of this year The chairman also
ton with the letting of the contract for
paving the roadway.
1t was stated by Superintendent James
Lee of the race track that about six thou
sand dollars had already been expended in
filling in the roadway and yet the work has
only just been commenced. Mr. N. keyser
stated THAI he and other business men had
been compelled to do all their hauling both
to and f1on the city over the Anacostia
road, hlly thoroughfare, which is being
all cut to pieces by the heavy wagons of
butchers and others.
After going the whole subject
thoroughly and agreeing that it is d con
dition and not theory that confronts
tee consisting of Messrs c. W. Sheriff,
Geo. w. Barnes and James Lee to draft
| resolutions to be forwarded to the Commits
sioners. The resolutions they prepared, and
which were adopted by unanimous vote. are
| in effect as follows: The Benning road is
now and has been for some time in i'm
passable condition, and not only the bust
ness men of Benning but truck farmers
gardeners, dairymen. butchers and others
| to the number of several hundred in this
| vicinity, have suffered great loss during the
past eleven months by reason of the fact
| that the said roadway has either been torn
| up or blocked up, rendering access both to
| and from the city almost impossible, and at
| all times dangerous.
| Many law suits will be brought against
| the Columbia Railway Company, the cor
| poration of the District of Columbia and
| various contractors unless said highway is
| at once restored to usefulness. therefore
