HOUSEHOLD BITS.
Various Culinary Items for the Guild
ance of the Young
Cook.

A point TO remember in the cook
ing of vegetables is that the legumes,
such as peas, beans and lentils, should
be cooked in soft water, to make the
skin tender, while root vegetables,
beets, carrots, onions, turnips, salsi-
fy, cabbage, ETC., are insipid unless the
water is hard enough to cause them TO
retain their juices. In cooking the
lcgumiroGs vegetables a pea-sized ball
of soda should be added to the water
in which they are cooked to supply the
deficiency of potash and enable the
things TO boil tender. Salt, on the 9TH
er hand, must be added to the water
in which root vegetables are cooked
SAYS the Washington Star.
The Irishman's way of cooking the
potato in its jacket is correct, because
in this-way the salts are retained. The
best method is to bake them, the next
to steam them. If boiled, there should
be an abundance of boiling, salted wa
ter in order to burst the starch gran
ules and make the potato 'mealy."
An English method of cooking beets
Is to bake them covered with a little
hot water in the pan. When steamed
tender they are peeled, sliced and
served with little oil and trife of
lemon juice.
Boiled sweet corn is one of the great
est gustatorial delights of the sum-
mer, yet there is no vegetable more
frequently spoiled in the cooking.
Most persons cook green corn too
long, and the longer it is cooked the
harder it becomes.
The best and easiest way Of cooking
it is TO select evergreen corn, thick
ears with tender green husks, dark
silk and slender stems. Strip on the
outside husks, turn back the inner
and remove every fragment of the
silk. Cut out any imperfections, turn
back the inner husks and fasten in
place with one of the outside husks.
Pack in the kettle and cover with q
thick layer Of the outside husks. Fill
the kettle with cold water, set over q
quick fire and cover closely Watch
carefully, and when the water has
boiled Just fve minutes after reach
ing the boiling point remove at once
from the fire. Serve, well wrapped in
a serviette. Cooked in this way and
eaten as corn should be, from the cob,
it will be found delicious.
A sprig of parsley with a dash OF
salt taken after one has eaten onions

SLOW PAYERS MAKE JOB.
One Delinquent shows Collector That

Disastrous.

A collector of bad accounts received
a lesson from a delinquent debtor a.
few days ago that has started him
to thinking a bit, says the New York
Tribune. The collector had been
chasing this delinquent for about six
months and had become tired of
"Call tomorrow" Il haven't IL just
now" and other excuses of similar
dilatory nature and thought IL was
time to become SASSY"
"See here" he said the last time
he called, ''are you ever going TO pay
this bill?"
"Why, yes" replied the delinquent,
II suppose 1 will pay it some day or
other. But look here yourself, youngl
man. ! think / can show you 8 thing

that bundle?"

slow long does it take you to visit

"Generally ] can get over my route
IN a day."
Suppose everyone of them should
pay up?"
"That would be fine"
"0h, Il would, would it7 What
would you do for a living IL every
body paid promptly"
The collector turned the thought
over in his mind for. a moment or
two and looked blank.
"Graciousi" he said, I'D be out Of
q job"
That's exactly my point. Don't,
therefore. be so Internally anxious
to collect every cent due to your peo-
pie at one time. A few collections

count, come around some day next.

A WYOMING FOSSIL QUARRY.
Notably Valuable Finds i'm the Co
oIogicaI Wonderland of the
Northwest.

The state of Wyoming is a geolog-
ical wonderland and the reason for
this is that, geologically speaking,
it is the newest land on the con-
tinent. The Mesozoic period has left
rich fossil deposits in this state, the
remains varying in size from little
invertebrate ammonites to the giant
vertebrate dinosaurs of the Jurassic
age. In 1899 thoroughly organized
scientific expedition, composed of so
members, spent some 40 days in ex-
ploring and examining the fossil ex-
posures and gathering specimens
and the result of their labors was
fully described at the time, says the
Scientific American.
A fossil quarry, where smaller spec
linens are found, is situated in the
extreme southwestern part of Wyom-
ing, near the town of Kemmerer, at
the summit of mountain 5000 feet
above the sea level. The geological
formation is known as the Screen
River Tertiary" The shale is lumin-
nted and carboniferous and some
streaks are bituminous, carrying par
affine and oil in large quantities. The
quarry is worked exclusively by hand
that is to say, no blasting opera
tions are carried on. The shale is
split into slabs, broken with sledge
hammers and thrown over the bank
by hand. When the slabs containing
the specimens are cut and taken out
they are very moist, and are dried out
TO about third Of their original
weight before the cleaning process be-
gins. 1t is difficult to clean the fossils
when the shale is too dry, for the i'm
pressions are exceedingly thin and IL
requires the utmost skill and care to
clean the more delicate specimens.
Knives and saws made especially for
the purpose are used. The hut or cabin
Is situated at the foot of the mouns
tain more than a mile from the quarry.
and the workmen bring the slabs to
this place to prepare them. The speci-
mems when they are properly cleaned
are exceedingly beautiful, the fishes
with all their bones outlined being
especially interesting. The Green
river fishes are considered the finest
specimens of fossil fishes. although
they may not be more perfect. as far
as skeletons are concerned. than those
from Monte Bolca, Italy. The Monte
Bolca specimens are in softer and
more chalky stone than those from
Wyoming. and hence do not present so
fine an appearance The collections
from the Green river tertiary are not.

FindIay stu Flirting.

Geo. w. Findlay, of Kansas, has
again sidestepped the contract to
inject chow into the federal pris
oners at Muskogee, and has an
nounced his unalterable intention
Of continuing his sojourn
in his own little alfalfa
patch. His contentious are that
the Findlay talents don't run to-
ward jackrabbit stews, and that
having lived in Kansas most of his
life, be is totally unfamiliar with
the eating habit. The discovery
that alfalfa and chopped cookie
burrs were not accepted as staple
dietary articles cinched his decis-
ion to remain where natures lux
uries are appreciated. Senator
Burton, however, has diagnosed
the decision differently. He
thinks the Findlay optics still gaze
longingly toward the internal rev.
