WHEN JOHNS AWAY.

His pipe is cold upon the shelf,
His jolly dogs lone estray;
The house is quite unlike itself
When johns away.
We miss his whistle on the stair,
We miss the turning of his key,
His CHEEKY mandolin's favorite air,
His company.
And when his CHEEKY letters come
We seem to read between the lines,
A wistful yearnlng for his home
Our love divines.
Oh army blue that shines so bright;
Oh! army blue that looks so warm,
1t folds full many heartache tight,
That uniform.

Hard and Soft Water.

There is considerable difference in
the effect of haru and soft water on
different vegetables. The addition
of salt hardens water and small
amount of soda softens it. The sup
ply of water for cooking purposes is
usually hard, and in cooking beans,
peas, and other leguminous vegeta-
bles no salt should be used, as such
vegetables do not boil tender in hard
water. A little soda of an amount
about the size of pea to a qualt of
water should be added, and when
the vegetables are tender they
should be sailed enough to max
them palatable. Most root vegeta-
bles-OniOns, beets, and others
boil tasteless in soft water, and salt
must be added at the beginning of
the cooking. In extracting the juices
of meat for soup,use soft, cold water
When boiling beef, where it is de-
sirable to retain the juices of the
meat, use boiling sailed water.
