HOUSEHOLD BITS.
A Budget of Suggestions Regarding
Matters in the Culinary
DeDartmcut

Lettuce is another vegetable that
should find an honored place in every
garden, however small. It grows rap
idly, and with rich soil and free
supply of water is sure to reward the
efforts of the yeriest tyro at garden
ing. If a fresh row is planted every
two or three weeks one may be sure
of this pleasant salad all through the
summer. For later use a cool, par
tally shaded place is best. There is
no vegetable tid-bit so highly es-
teemed by rabbits, hares, chickens,
ducks and Gagged birds as lettuce, and
many poultry raisers grow large
quantities for this especial purpose,
says the Washington Star.
While the majority of people pre-
fer their lettuce served with mayor
naise or French dressing, there are
still many who cling to the .old-time
salt, vinegar and sugar. Others de-
clare that for their individual taste
lettuce with cream leaves nothing
further to be desired. To make the
cream dressing mix with one cupful
of sour cream two tablespoonfuls of
sugar, one tablespoonful of vinegar,
tablespoonful of melted butter, meas
ured after it is melted, and a half
teaspoonful of salt. Pour over the.
lettuce and serve Immediately.
Still another variation in lettuce
dressing is made with eggs. Beat two
eggs until light. Add two table
spoonfuls melted butter, measured
after melting. two tablespoonfuls of
vinegar, two or three tablespoonfuls
of sugar and a half teaspoonful of
salt.
While lettuce cannot be improved
upon served just as nature has given
it to us, the stock cabbage lettuce
that is we'll headed is delicate and
tasty when cooked. To prepare it.
tie a bit of coarse netting or cheese
cloth about the head, to keep it from
falling apart. Put a pint of sailed
soup stock in a covered dripping pan.
lay in the lettuce and let it simmer
for half an hour. Lift out the let
tuce, unbind and lay in a hoAscovered
dish while you prepare the sauce.
Add a little more stock, if necessary.
and thicken with Drowned flour and
butter. Season with salt and pepper
and strain over the lettuce.
The Germans make lettuce fritters,
anu UuSII SOOO' LING
eider-favored and orange blossom
fritters, however, it seems an ex-
penditure of energy and sentiment
without commensurate results. In
making these fritters, the lettuce is
first boiled, then drained, chopped
cooled and added to ordinary fritter
| batter.
When a change in the garnishing
of a birds nest salad or a platter OF
cold meat is desired, try cutting let
tuce leaves with scissors in thin
strips about the width of blade OF
grass and arrange in wisps.
In making a birds nest salad, form
the little speckled eggs of cream
cheese, rolled into shape with butter
spatules and then sprinkled with fine
chopped parsley. At the last mo
ment pour over each nest with it:
five small eggs a tablespoonful o
real mayonnaise.

seems that several OF the native rul-
ers have taken a great fancy to her,
and the Maharajah of Durbhunga re-
Gently made her unique gift by plac-
ing at her disposal magnificent hero
OF elephants. :..s.s.. u
The yicereine was at loss to know
lust what to do with the gift at first.
Then the idea occurred to her OF CIV
ing an elephant party. She arranged
it so that each animal was to bear a
young woman and an attendant saint
to a rendezvous, where tifiin was to be
served to the assembled pairs.
Lady Curzon herself rode the largest
elephant in the group, and in her how
dab OF silver was protected from the
sun BY an umbrella OF white silk, Dor
dered with pearls. Her nahout car
ried a silver goad and fly fan. The
trappings Of her mounts were en-
broidered in silk and gold. while a
!. festoon Of pearls hung around the ele-
Z plants ears.
The first party was such a success
that her ladyship gave several more,
and now the fad has developed into
almost craze.
The humorous side Of these affairs
was supplied by the elephants them
selves, who insisted on tsstlfying TO
their affection by snatching treasures
from passersby, or from the bazaars,
and bestowing them upon the rider.
This thoughtfulness on the part OF the
elephants several times became en-
barrassing. especially when tho gift
happened to take the form of naked

/ the son Of the elephants keeper, wear
ing only a string of beads, was lifted
into the vicereine's howdah, causing
great amusement to the party. Lady
Curzon received the gift graciously,
and gave the child present to take
home.

Relation Of Sunepots to RaiDfaIts


+ The fact that the abnormal behavior
Of the widened lines in the spectra OF
sunspots since 1894 had been accom-
panied by Irregularities in the rainfall
of India, led Sir Norman Lockyer into
an attempt to correlate the-two series
offfacts. He has discovered, as mat
ter tof fact, that the effect of these
solar changes is felt in India at sun
snot maximum, and in Mauritius at
sunspot minimum. OF these, the great
er is that produced in Mauritius at
sunspot minimum The pulse at Maui
ritius at sunspot minimum is also felt
in India, and gives rise generally to a
secondary maximum in India. India,
therefore, has two pulses Of rainfall.
one near the maximum and the other
near the minimum period. 1t has been
found from 4 study of the Famine
Commission reports that all the fam
ines therein recorded which have de-
vastated India during the last half
century have occurred in the intervals
between these two pulses. 1t has also
been found from an investigation OF
the Nile curves between the years 1S49
and 1878 that all the lowest recorded
states of the river have occurred be-
tween the same two intervals. Sir
Norman Lockyer's work is serious
