ECONOMY IN EGGS.
Only the Necessary Part Should he
Used for Any Special
Purpose.

At this season of the year. when eggs
are beginning to be scarce, it is well to
remember that exactly the same result
can be obtained by dividing egg and
using the yolk only in custards and
desserts, and salad dressings demand
ing thickening of eggs. The whites
of the eggs are then left for sweet
cakes, meringues and other dishes
where the white of the egg is the es-
sential part needed, says the New York
Tribune.
1t should be remembered that the
yolk of the egg gives rich, delicate con-
sistency to a baked or boiled custard,
and one made with it alone is not so La
BILE to curdle as one made with the
white also. Pumpkin pies, like cocoa
nut and lemon pies, are just as nice
without the whites of the eggs. In
the case of cocoanut and lemon pie the
whites should be used for a meringue.
In hot breakfast cakes or mullins
eggs are an element that often tougher
the bread without adding any desirable
quality. Do not use more than two
eggs as a rule to pint of milk in
wheaton cakes. One is generally
enough. The quantity of eggs to be
used in corn meal cake varies with the
taste, as this meal is so granular there
is no danger of making a tough cake
from it. A sweet cake made of the
whites of eggs can be as easily rendered
tough and unfit for food by too liberal
use of eggs as cake can be made heavy
and greasy by too liberal use of but
ter. Where eggs are used in a cake
like sponge cake, which has no butter
in it to render it tender, the juice of a
lemon should be added. The yolks of
eggs do not make nice icing, impart-
ing an eggy taste very disagreeable to
most people. The whites of eggs should
alone be used.

HER KNOWLEDGE OF CHINESE.
She Knew the Shape of the HER
Oglyphs and Surprised
Her Friends

a young woman at watering place this
summer made a reputation as a profound
linguist in rather odd manner. She
called one day at Chinese laundry, where
she had left a shirt waist, lrt it could
not be found, as there was no entry in
the book of hieroglyphics corresponding to
her pink slip. After half hours search
the Chinaman found the entry. A mistake
had been made, the entry crossed out and
nsT, set of hieroglyphics in tiny charac-
ters placed below. She was told that that
waist would be laundered Immediately, and
she could have it the next day, says the
Kansas City World.
The next day the young woman called
for it, accompanied by three other young
women. At the seashore the excitement of
visit to the Chinese laundry is not to be
despised. The Chinaman to whom the pink
slip was presented was not the laundryman
of the day before, and he experienced the
same difficulty in finding the identifying
characters, finally saying: mot in book. !"
The girl answered, calmly: 81 can find it"
and the Chinaman allowed her to take the
book. Turning the leaves until she came
to the one that had had an entry crossed
out, with another in tiny characters under
it, she handed it to the Chinaman. "There
it is,' and, to his surprise, he found it.
''You only lady l know spik Chinese" he
said. And the other girls looked upon her
with admiration.

The Nickel Plate Road.

Dining Car service on American Railroads
has undergone a number of changes in the
method of serving meals in dining cars Many
leading roads are now serving from cards
a-la-carte, whilst on the other great trunk

joying anything on the bill of fare and
paving @ the usual IH price of one ,s!, dollar In
come to the front, by which guests NAV
choose from a dozen or more bills of fare,
neatly arranged in booklet form, ranging in
price from 80 cents to $l.00 This latter
plan is adopted by the Nickel Plate Road on
its through express trains between Chicago,
New York City and Boston, except on the
dining cars of that line, a choice may be
made from various club menus, or a Sc
lection may be made from them all, at
the price of the higher. In fact, it is claimed
for the Nickel Plate Road that its passenger
train service is equal to the best, and that
its combination dining car meals is an ex-
elusive advantage to patrons of the Nickel

ACCOMMODATING HUSBAND.
His Only Trouble Was That He Was
Just "a Little Bit Absent
Minded,

"Paul," said Mrs. Pondermore, as
they rose from dinner, breaking the 81
lence that had prevailed throughout
the meal, says the, Smart Set, "do you
know that we were married just five
years ago to-day?"
'If I'd been there it would never
have happened" observed Mr.. Ponder

pursuing his tram of thought aloud.
'Er-excuse me, my dear, you were say

of our wedding" replied Mrs. Ponder

thinking out loud; land it has set me
to contrasting the two times. Paul. do
you know that You never kiss me morn
ngs and evenings as you used to?"
"Er-certainly not. l don't think it a

"That you neglected to kiss me as

ried," said Mrs. Pondermore, patiently.

me any more, Paul, but-but don't you
think you could remember top" she
asked, wistfully.
Mr.. Pondermore contracted his brows
tightly in an honest effort to corral his
errant thoughts and fix them upon
what his wife was saying.
"Er-yes, my dear" he said; "what
is it have neglected? ?"
'You don't kiss me as often as YOU
used to, Paul" repeated his wife,
softly.
Don't I, my darling?" cried Mr.. Pom
dermore, all contrition. ITS the
wretched business that engrosses me
so; but if you'll forgive me, sweetest,

SOLDIERS ON THE MARCH.
Their Long Marches Under Burdens
Are Exceedingly TOilsOme and
Dispiriting.

The foot soldier is in anachronism,
as archaic as the man at arms with
his halberd or the archer with his
cloth-yard shaft. The modern foot
soldier is not only a fighting machine,
he is also beast of burden, and no
man can be both with success. The
American infantryman equipped for
war is weighted down with rifle, bay
onet, ammunition. clothing, shelter
tent, water bottle and haversack, in
all some 80 pounds in weight. 1t is a
common belief that soldier is so
strong and hardy that he does not
feel the burden: that he can march
10 or IS miles with 60 pounds about
his body and not mind it; that, like
the well-trained athlete, who thrives
under violent exercise, he enjoys hav-
ing to transport all this parapher-
MALTA. Now, as a matter of fact, that
is the one thing of all others which
the soldier despises. He doesn't mind
the fighting; he can put up with heat
or cold, and, although he may growl
when his rations are short, he accepts
that as part of the days work; but
to turn himself into a porter, to be a
coolie and the bearer of burdens, is
the thing he abominates, says Forum.
There is nothing more depressing
to the spirits, nothing more devital-
izing, nothing which makes a greater
drain on man than march. There
is nothing picturesque, nothing eX-
hilarating, nothing to break the hor-
rible monotony of this seemingly in
terminable plodding through baking
dust or clogged mud or chilling snow.
All the color of war has gone. There
are no bands to make men forget their
fatigue, no waving plumes and tiut-
tering flags to excite the imagina-
ton, no spectators to stimulate pride
there is no scenery even. War is
now monochrome: everyone dresses
the same, khaki loses its semblance
of color and takes on the color of the
dirt or mud of the country through
which the army marches, and no man
sees more than the man in front of
him or the man on each side of him.
Hour after hour this goes on; rifles
become heavier. ammunition belts
chafe more gallingly, haversacks and
water bottles strike in a tender spot,
shoes get filed with grit which makes
each step an agony. If after a long
march men are thrown into action
they have lost their vim and their
power of resistance, and it is only by
sheer nerve that they are able to
stand up to the rack. Nine times out
of ten infantry are sent into action
with their nerves unstrung, simply
because they have been broken down
by the strain which has been put
upon them. To get the best results
out of men they should go into action
in a perfect physical condition. but
they are generally weakened by the
drain made upon them.
The remedy for this, remedy
which will not only increase the ac-
tual physical strength of an army
but will also give it that mobility
which is all-essential. is to give each
man his own means of transport
that is. to mount him. The armies
of the future will be armies of mount
ed infantry.

CARE OF FINE LACES.
How to Cleanse aud Freshen the
Daintiest and Most Costly
of Films,

Few things possessed by dainty wom-
en- are more highly valued than fine
laces, and, while not many are fortu-
nate enough to own such in large guam
titles, many have few pieces inherited
from grandmother or given by wealthy
friends as a bridal gift.
Those who can afford it usually take
lace to a professional cleaner, who re-
turns it looking beautifully new, but
often very much injured by the use of
cleaning fluids.
The expense and spelling of the lace
can be avoided and the cleaning done
quite as satisfactorily by every woman
who will take the trouble to do it her.
self, and surely no daintier task can
be performed, even by the most deli
cate hands, than the freshening of
pretty, weblike lace, says the House.
keeper.
Of course no one would think of
washing lace in tub with soap wiring
ing or starching it. 1t should not be
washed even with the hands.
A large glass jar or bottle should be
covered first with flannel securely
fastened around, then with a strip of
old soft cotton. The lace should be
carefully wound around this and
pinned in place.
The bottle should be stood in vessel
of warm rain water, to which little
powdered boraX is added, and dipped
up and down until the lace is clean,
after which clear water may be poured
over to rinse it, then set in the sun to
dry. When carefully taken from
around the bottle the lace will be as
fresh and beautiful as when new.
Large articles of lace that cannot be
wound around a bottle or jar may be
pinned to cloth spread over a board
and cleaned by dipping in the water.
