COOKING HINTS.

Don't salt cucumbers or eggplant
before cooking. II makes them indi-
gesuble and unpalatablc.
Avoid peeIng rhubarb when II is
young and tender, for It only needs
wiping with damp cloth before using.
A piece Of tough meat can be very
nicely stewed in a double boiler 1t
will take twice as long. however, as II
cooked directly over the fire.
Fish which contain few bones may
be converted into fillets by dividing
the flesh from the backbone in long.
wide strips and then removing any
smaller bones. Soles supply the best
fillets.
Crusts and crumbs OF bread left over
from the table should be dried, put
aside for rolling and dipping or to be
used in scalloped dishes or mixed with
a few sliced apples and baked and
served as dinner DESSERT.
To prevent sausaees bursting when
cooking put them into saucepan, COW
er them with cold water and bring
this TO a boil, after which take them
out and fry them in the usual way.
This It is said. will not only prevent
the sausages from bursting. but will
improve their favor.

Miss Annie Wheeler was conspicuous among the visitors to the Confederate Reunion. She was Maid of Honor to
 ,lss Hobson, as Sponsor for the Ala Jsna Division United Confederate Vet erans, and 1t was unanimously agreed that the seelcuon was infinitely appro- priate.
 Daughter of General Wheeler, one of Alabama's heroes who has played a con- spicuous part in two wars. Miss Wheeler is a general favorite among the Confed- crate Veterans who love her for her own sake as we'll as that of her father. It was a pleasure for them to shake her by the hand. some of them meeting her for the first time, others renewing an old ac- quaintance.
 But if it was a pleasure for the Vet erans to meet Miss Wheeler 1t was equally pleasant Co her to minge with her-father's old comrades.
 ''Is it not inspiring?" she said with en- thusiasm on the night of the reception at the Auditorium, as she looked out from the stage over the sea of eager heads. ''I always enjoy 30 n seting these old Confederate Veterans. It is one of my greatest pleasures to be present at their relnions."
 Miss Wheeler is her fathers oldest daughter. Since her mothers death she has been at the head of his household. and is ever his boon companion When therefore, he declared his intention of going to Cuba at the beginning of the Spanish war; she determined also to en- list as nurse. The story of how she studied in training school and was fn- ally admitted to the ranks of heroic nurses of stricken soldiers. Is familiar to Alabamians. She followed her father to Cuba and was at the front with him

in many of the thrilling episodes of that summer war with Spain.
 Miss Wheeler laughingly declares that her experiences as war nurse were "noth- ing. But growing serious she says:
 Tt was g. blessed privilege to be al- lowed to minister to the wants of those suffering heroes"
 Without doubt the patients felt that 1t was blessed privilege" to be thus ad- ministered to.
 All that Miss Wheeler went through in those hospital camps will perhaps never be known. She admits. however, that she has suffered for three years from the terrible strain. For three years che has sought the health that was hers be- fore she undertook the trying role of nurse in the camps. She has been an inmate of hospitals for months at a time. and now she declares that she is fully restored.
 She looks 1t, too. Miss Wheeler is an admirable specimen of Southern woman- hood. She has face of unusual sweet ness which even a casual observer would note. and feel certain that 1t reflected the quality of the owners mind and heart She has beautiful figure and carries herself with grace and distinction.
 Miss Wheeler has recently returned from visit abroad with her father, Gen eral Wheeler. where they were recipients of distinguished social attentions. It Is pleasure to Alabamians to know that they will spend more time in the State now than they have for some years past. They are at their home in the northern part of the State-a fine estate of considerable dimensions.
 Miss Wheeler. while in Montgomery had not an hour to call her own. Her time was filled with engagements for the two days of her visit and Montgomery .ians hope that she will return soon again to make a more extended stay.
