Tbeodore TiIton.s simple Life.

Theodore Tilton has lived abroad,
chiefly in Paris. without once revisit
ing his native country, since 1SS3-17
years. To one who recently saw him
In the French capital he seemed to be
a survivor Of the heroic age, in face
and physique, with an intellect on the
same scale.
"In richness Of "reminiscences he was
a centenarlan; in vigor of mind and
body a man at his zenith; in freshness
Of heart a mere boy. Add to these
that he was an inimitable raconteur
brimful Of wit and humor, and the
word portrait is as perfect as | can
make It, but far short Of the man as he
really Is"
Theodore TiltOn IS feet 4 inches In
height and nobly proportioned As he
draws near his threescOre and ten he
Is still proudly erect, a man whose
striking appearance never fails 10 at
tract attention, whether he strOlls
along the Quays Of the Seine stopping
here and there at a bOOkstall; whether
he walks in the Champs Elysees, or
whether he engages in his favorite
game Of chess in neighboring cafe.
His strong face, with heavy jowls IS
clear cut as If carved out Of cameo. 1t
is framed in snow white hair that
reaches to his shoulders.
He Is a very abstemious in his mode
Of living. He rises at In the morn
ing, prepares himself an egg and
bowl Of coffee, and works at his desk
until 10. He dimes at the rustic hour
of -, sups at Z p. Mon eggs and milk
and retires to rest at 8. During his
exile he has resided for brief periods
at oxford and Cambridge, Stuttgart,
Munich, Dresden. Paris and London.
Paris has been his permanent abode.

Why To CooI, Green Corn.

THE best way TO cook green corn,
says n we'll known authority on cook
ing SIS TO roast the ears with the husks
on I'm hot ashes. The next best way Is
10 saute the kernels I'm bacon fat. The
next is to steam the ears, but the poor
est way TO cook 1t Is TO boil it. The
best part Of the corn remains In the
water"
Corn Is by no means the only sort Of
food that gives It's best nutritlve quail
ties to the water in which It Is boiled.
There IS rice as a clear example. In
one widely known recipe book dlrec-
lions may be found for boiled rice with
the final sentence, Just as soon as the
and the saucepan is placed on the back
Of the range to dry out till every grain
Is distinct" In reality that is the poor
est of poor advice. The water in which
the rice is boiled gets more than its
share of the nutrltiye qualities Of the
rice. 1t is said that when the British
army was first In India the soldiers
boiled their rice and threw away the
water. The sepoys, however, had bet
ter judgment They begged that the
water might be given to them, and
their request was granted. In short
time 1t became quite apparent that the
sepoys were growing fat on the rice
water, while the British soldiers were
as surely becoming thin and thinner.
The plan was changed.
What Is true about corn and rice Is
true about most vegetables, even pOta-
toes, which are least affected by the
process Of boiling. being better many
times over when roasted.
