SIMPLE WAYS OF ITALIANS.
They Enjoy Life Though Their Homes
Are without p,tentatious
Display.

Having been shown our bedrooms In
Tora and brushed off the dust OF our
travel, we all met at the family table,
where the venerable grandfather-
who, though above so years of age, al.
ways rose at three a. m. to go out shoot
ing-and a baby of four years in its
high chair formed the head and
foot of the company. Poultry, as may
be imagined, is the most frequent dish
on the tables of the proprietors in these
mountain villages Beef and veal can
only be had on market days in the
larger towns--themselyes mere vii
lages, says writer In Gentleman'G
Magazine.
This day our meal commenced with
the antepasto, plates full Of fine-cut
ham, olives and sardlnes; then excel
lent soup, fish, meat, followed by
cheese, green salads; each course nc
companied by special wines manufac-
tured by our host; the whole ending
with splendid fruits fresh from the
trees--great apples, pears as large as
a baby's head. white, purple and red
grapes, fresh figs and nuts.
In late autumn an important addi-
tion to the daily fare is the fine mush-
rooms found in the old chestnut for
ests; the .Ovolo," like a closed fist in
shape and bright yellow In color, with
a thick stalk; the "Gallinelli,' so called
from their likeness to cocks comb,
reddish yellow, and a large fiat kind
Of the common mushroom shape. They
are stewed with cheese or fried in olive
oil, when they are as delicate as veal
outlets. As long as they last they are
the main food of the peasants. who
gather them in the woods at will, pay
ing nothing.
Dinner is taken at midday and late in
the evening supper.
Chi va a letto senza cena
Tutta la notte s. dimena,
says the Ita.ian proverb, which may
be rendered
He who goes supperless to bed
Finds no smooth place to rest his head,
and there is n great deal Of truth in
the saying. We spent that first after
noon in wandering among the vine
yards on the slopes OF the hills. This
vines were cut low and laden thick
with grapes used for wine, but there
was also abundance Of dessert grapes
of the most varied and luscious kinds.

UNAPpRECIATED GENIUS.
Touching Tale OF Trials and
TrIbuIatIons.

One of those inventors who has more
genius than common sense makes a
confession, says the Detroit Free
Press.

to try it for me was last heard of as

"My latest was a device that will

length, though IT be going 40 miles
an hour. ! tried il on local car.
The motorman went through Che

tor through the roof projection in
the rear. The least damage to any

ment against me for damages. I am

nn,ing n channg-pl.h.

In selecting ehafing dish be sure
that the water pan has wooden side
handles. Never use wood alcohol. for IL
is no cheaper than the pure article. 1t
sells for less, but it evaporates much
more rapidly, which makes up the diff
ference in cost, and it's odor is exceed
ingly disagreeable. 1t is not necessary
to have an elaborate outfit of utensils;
but a graduated measure or two, three
or four wooden-handled spoons and
forks sold for the purpose should be
supplied. II economy is not in the ques-
ton, a fagon, for holding the alcohol

CALL THEM UNLUcKY SHIPS.
The Utter UseIes.aess of Arguing
with seamea Against Nautical
superstitIons.

"unlncky ships" in our navy have n
most unpleasant way of acting up TO
their regulations. Any hluejacket
will tell YOU that the most unlucky
ship IN the navy IL the Thnnderer-
he is firmly convinced that In the
event OF war she will come 10 grief.
The origin OF this ships reputation
is not exactly known, though story
exists TO the effect that workman
was injured or killed during her con-
struetion. and his dependents scuryily
treated by the admiralty Of the pc.
riod. His wife, dying in childbirth
shortly afterward, cursed the ship.
So goes the legend; possibly enough,
like many another legend, II was
made later on to az events. No doubt
whatever attaches to the 1hunderer's

aud terrible gun disaster marked
her earlier years. Minor disasters
have been many; most things that
could go wrong with her did so. and.
though IL was recently stated that
she had ontlivcd her bad luck, almost
Immediately afterward all her guns
went wrong-a matter under inquiry
at the present moment. She Is b.ing
put out of commission and replaced by
the Hood. and II Is extremely doubtful
whether she will be employed again
save as n harbor Ship-men do not
like her.
Another unlucky ship Is the Howe,
says the London Chronicle. She went
ashore and sank at Ferro1. Subse-
quently she was raised and relocated,
but her bad luck" clings to her; she
is the worst ship of her batch to man.

eneh man TO jump, batch of marines

incident does not concern the luck OF
ships.
The list OF unlucky ships could be
extended considerably, but the above
typical cases will suffice. In face OF
them IL Is absolutely useless TO argue
against nautical superstitions. The

majority of cases 10 Is confined TO
breakdowns, and so forth. but what

till she ends her career. And since
the new royal yacht has thus got

that royalty will decline TO use her.

HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.
A budget of Domestic Information
Pertaining TO Culinary
Matters.

Vegetables such as onions, cab
bage, cauliflower and turnips may be
made more delicate and wholesome
by allowing their odors to escape
with the steam while they are boil
ing. There will also be less odor
observable about the house If this
is done than if the favors are al
lowed to concentrate in tightly
closed vessels. While doubtless a
certain amount of nutrients are lost
by this means, the vegetables by be-
ing rendered more palatable become
more digestible. The same is true
of boiled meats, and the lid of the
kettle should be left partly off while
they are cooking; otherwise there
will be strong, unpalatable flavor.
All green vegetables should be
boiled in an uncovered vessel. Some
housekeepers claim that a dish of
steaming vinegar on the range will
prevent cooking odors from permeat-
ing the house, says the Boston Bud
get.
Bread and butter plates are en-
is served.
For an afternoon tea, sandwiches,
cake, tea and cold or frozen bev-
erage usually comprise the bill of
fare. Confections and salted almonds
may also be added.
Steamed vegetables are said to be
much more nutritious than those
cooked in the usual way, as they do
not come in contact with the water,
and so do not lose any of their flavor.
Beets and onions are especially deli
cious cooked by this process, and
even meats and chicken, it is claimed,
are improved by first steaming them
and afterwards browning them in the
oven.
