There are many ways OF preparing
onions, and one Of the best known
ways is plain boiled" If the water
be changed once or twice while cook
ing, they will be more delicate, and
they must be thoroughly tender all
through. Be sure to drain well, sea-
son with salt and pepper and add plen-
ty of sweet butter.
AS a change a cream sauce may be
poured over them just before serving.
but one would tire of this method if
repeated too often. Or, after being
boiled until tender. they may be put
into buttered baking dish. busted
with salt and pepper, teaspoonful
of butter in the center of each onion,
covered with bread crumbs and baked
slowly one hour. They may then be
served plain or with a cream sauce.
The large Spanish onion is particu-
larly nice for slicing raw, and if served
with little oil and vinegar, makes
a good salad. Onions are indispen-
sable as a seasoning for soups. and
in many cases IL they are sliced and
fried brown in a little butter before
adding them to the soup stock, the fla
vor is greatly improved.

To Avoid Sunburn.

The texture of the skin is likewise
injured when frequently subjected u
sunburn. One should, therefore, avoid
1t as much as possible. 1t is not as
difficult to do this as you would think.
In the first place, before going forth
on any adventure in which you are
likely to get sunburned, take the pre-
caution to oil the face with cold cream
or pure white vaseline. or II that Is
too sticky, with white vaseline and
almond oil, equal parts, and then use
some good reliable powder. If you do
not care for looks, put 1t on thickly
as it acts as a mask to protect the
skin. Avoid as far as possible the re-
Election of the sun upon glazing sand
or water. This burns more quickly
than anything else.
The great temptation after the ex.
posture to the heat and the probable
ties of sunburn is to wash the face
Water acts like mordant to set the
dye of sunburn. The skin that might
have possibly escaped with faint red
ness becomes scarlet and even blister.
ed after washing, while the sun Il
still upon 1t or after just returning
from an exposing expedition. Wipe
the face gently with some oily prepa
ration and use powder that is sooth
ing and the effects of the sunburr
will shortly pass away.-Dr. Grace

Tatalism of Swiss Guidess

The point of view of the Swiss
guides is a singularly complex one.
The ordinary guide is as brave as a
Boer and his bravery has many OF the
same peculiarities. He has little sense
of sport; he is ever conscious of the
desperate danger of his calling. and,
while he is willing and anxious to
meet any risk which comes in the nee
essary course of events, he has the
greatest contempt for the man who
seeks the bright eyes of dangers for
their own sake. He Is bit of ia
talist. "See," said one, as some trav-
elers brought down the body Of party
who had died in place as simple as
a city street, death can come as east
ly on light mountain as a difficult
one" And again, when the French
guides bungled at their tasks: Those
Arolla men know nothing of accidents;
for me. when a man is once dead
will carry him as soon as a sheep"
and so saying he put one of the things
on his head and strobe down into the
valley where the mules waited for their
burden. A guide of experience will
tell you there are only three dangers in

responded deep masculine voice from

Reggie got up and crossed the room.
He was great big fellow, in rough

"Oh, Reggie"
Don't get excited. Seeing her face

about Mollie-I stepped into the
breach and went myself"

"Why?" And Reggie leaned against
the wide window-seat. and stroked his
mothers great Persian cat, who was
summing himself in the corner.
"Why, you old stupid? Because she
intends Mollie and her fortune for her
adored son, Monsieur Henri Dubois,
and no poaching will be allowed"
THAT little toad?" he muttered in
a curious tone. "Mollie said they were
expecting him today. l say, Joyce. do
you really think it?'
Mother thinks So" she replied,
glancing at his ruffled face with a
suppressed smile. And certainly
madame has been most amiable to
Mollie so far. She asked me the other
day what Henri was like, for madame
was always speaking of him, and Kate
quoted him frequently"
"Oh, it is preposterous!" declared
the young fellow. However, wait
until she sees him. l shall be very
much astonished If she falls in with
the arrangement then"

DEAR HEART.

Dear heart. where hast thou wandered
What happier regions stay
Thy lingering feet, whose coming changed
My winter into May?
Now all our slopes are burgeoned
In summers lavish mood.
And deep within the grove the thrush
Has belled the solitude.
The laurels set the hillside
With many a spectral light;
Seen through the dusk, they stand likt
nymphs.
Expectancy In flight.
But somewhere thou dost liuger,
Implacable, afar,
Though high within the twilight sky
Cleans cold our trysting-star.
The brooks we loved still murmur,
Though now through dells of gloom;
The very hills have lost with thee
Their moiety of bloom.
Still, each leaf whispers of thee:
In every path once trod
BY thy dear feet. thy spirit yet
Speaks from remembered sod.

Superstition In Yucatan.

"Apropos of the wonderful ancient
ruins in Yucatan," said New Orleans
college professor, there is one very
fortunate circumstance which has pro-
tected them almost entirely from spoil
alton by the Indians. 1t is currently
believed by the natives all through that
part of the country that the ruins are
haunted and that devils will carry
away anybody who attempts to modest
them. This superstition has been en-
couraged by explorers, and is better
safeguard than picket of soldiers"

PresIdent McKInIey,s Piano.

While governor of Ohio, Mr.. Nc.
Kinley bought for Mrs Mckinley an
A. b. Chase piano. When elected
President of the United States, they
desired piano BETTING the dignity
and character of their surroundings,
and the A. B. Chase piano was again
chosen. A specially designed case was
prepared. and as soon as finished was
duly delivered at the executive man
sion in Washington, and at the re-
quest of Mrs. Mckinley, placed in
their private parlors. Mrs. slcKinley
is very fond of music, and the piano
will be used for all the informal mu-
sicales for which she is so partial.
A beautiful souvenir entitled From
Century to Century" has been issued
by the A. b. Chase Co., showing inter-
Tor views of the White House in 1900
and in 1900. One of these will be sent
free to any one intending to pur-
chase good piano before January l..
1901, who will send name and address.
either direct to the A. b. Chase Co. at
Norwalk, Ohio, or to their special
Iowa representative, Mr.. Nathan Ford.
