At this time of the year there are numbered among the vegetables of the season three which are old and tried farOrites of the American househcld-- tomatoes, corn and new" potatoes. 1t will not be aniss, therefore, to give re- ppcs for serving these vegetables which will be an agreeable departure from the custom so prevalent in many hoasss of always serving the corn "on the cob," stewing the tomatoes and boiling or resting. the potatoes, says the New York Tribune. -.
 A corn pudding" is q delicious dish, which should be more popular than it is. It has a double attraction for, those housekeepcrs who have prejudice agains, serving corn on the cob. Take 12 ears of corn that are young and milky, and with a sharp knife slice of l the edges of the kernels. Then, with a duller knife, scrnpe off the soft, milky pulp, leaving the shell of the kernel l cinging to the cob. Pour into deep l carthenware dish, which has been pre- viously buttered, five cups of rich milk, teaspoonful of salt and four scant tablespoonfuls of sugar. Stir in the corn, bake the pudding for Q couple Q, 1 hours in a moderate oven and serve ii 1 hot. Corn pudding" is sometimes made with the addition of eggs. In that case less milk is used. The recipe given here produces the Best results however, just as a rice pudding made ] without eggs is superior to one made with eggs. .a | Stuffed tomatoes" are easily made Select eight large, smooth, firm toma toes. Cut a thin slice from the stem end of each, and with spoon scoop out the juice and pulp. Put a tablespoon !, full of butter in a frying pan over tht fire, and when melted add a scant table spoonful of flour. Stir quickly, ado 1 half cup of stock, and as soon as i
 boils up add half a cup of finely chopped veal (salt and pepper to taste), half [ cup of dried hreadcrumbs and tea spoonful of grated onion. Remove iron the fire immediately and add the pull and juice of the tomatoes. Fill the to matoes with this mixture and bak' them slowly for 20 or 30 minutes. Dec crate the dish with parsley, and serv
 hot The clever housewife will be abl
 todcvise many different kinds of ''stu1 fling which will lend pleasant Va riety to this dish.
 Stuffed potatoes" are very easil. prepared, and are delicious. Select
 dozen new potatoes of about the sam
 size and bake them in hot oven unti soft and mealy. Cut off one end an
 scoop out the contents. Mash the con tents thoroughly, season it with sal
 and pepper, and add little boilin
 milk and little butter. Beat unti light and put back in the potato jack . cts. Brush with butter the creamy put of potato showing Tt the opening, m

WHAT HAN WOULD DO.
Two Drainy Men Tell What They'd Do If They Belonged to .. the other Sex.

A man of wide reputation in the Ht- erary world and also we'll known in So; cial and business circles says: "If better worth my while than to first have a good and liberal education. 1 do not mean by that that would be satisfied with nothing less than col lege training, though that Is good in it's way, and would know history and geography and literature with enough arithmetic to attend to my own ac- counts and business affairs should oc- casion require. If I were Q woman I should consider myself very incompe- tent to take up the lines of household infringement without good working knowledge of cooking and cleaning and sewing. If were a woman would learn to do every bit of work that is generally conceded to lie within wom- ans domain"
 If I were woman," says another man, ''I would inform myself upon the topics of the times and current events. would know something about the latest books, the latest plays, little about music and q little. about art, even if could not know much about any of these things. Then when m, husband or my children OF nay friend. were ready for Q half-hour's chat l could be counted on to be companion able. would never discuss the serv- nnt question and I would never tell about the little hitches in the domestic machinery"

The daily bath is necessary for clean liness, and especially for the training Of the skin to Gnta Sonize tEc evil effects of clothing. Two O. three times week a little soap should be used, especially about those parts Of the body where oil is sccretcd and filth accU.I.u.ates. The warm cleansing bath o-lcc or twice week is essential. l. is best taken at bedtime. Eczema and other skin dis eases abound in countries where the bath is rarely used. A historian Of the middle ages asserts that during Q thousand years no man, woman or child in all Europe took a bath except by accident, Scrofula and various forE.s of skin disease existed to a frightful extent during this period, says Good Health.
 Special attention must be given to the scalp, by the use of Q fine comb and a good brush daily, end by sham pooing with fine soap once q week. Beneath the finger nails is a favor able hiding lace for Ill kinds Of germs, which. through accidental inoculation, may give rise to disease of the eyes and i infections of other. sorts. Take. care never to soil the fingers with anything infectious when it is possible to avoid l it. If such contamination occurs, cleanse the hands at once. Water as l hot as can Ec borne ard good yellow or soft soap are safe diainfectaats if thor ouGEly employed. Attend to the teeth before and after meals.
 If catarrh or cold exist. take good care of the nose, by properly using the Handkerchief. It is well. also, to use some form of vaporizcr to introduce some cntiseptic which will destroy the germs growing on the muccus-lnena- branc oF the nose.
