Does your horse "feel his

tween the grain-fed and the
grass-fed horse! The first
strong and full of ginger, the
second Aabby, weak and tired
out before he begins. The
feeding makes the difference.
Children are not alike either.
One is rosy, bright-eyed, full
of life and laughter, another is
pale, weak and dull. The feed
ing again is responsible.
Sickly children need special
feeding. They don't "feeltheir
oats. SCOTS Emulsion adds
just the right richness to their
diet. tits like grain to the
horse. The child gets new

sashes Worn with Gowns.

A new idea In sashes is a corsage
bow to match. This artistic design
is quite n change from the bow with
two long ends that formerly did duty
as sash. The foundation is white
MORE antique. and the roses and ends
which decorate IT are of liberty satin
taffeta. To further aid the floral effect
artificial daisies are added. These
sashes are made up in all colors. With
the rosette in place of the rose any
favored flower may take the daisy's
place.
The corsage bow Is Of soft liberty
satin taffeta matching the decorations
Of the sash. Its chief beauty lies in
the artistic way in which 1t is made UP.
These two ribbon creations would re-
deem an otherwise plain gown and
add much to one ALREADY beautiful.
They are a boon to the home dress
maker, who lacks both time and skill
to make them herself The girl grad
uate does not consider her costume
complete without them, and, In fact,
this season they figure on almost all

With some, on the other hand. It is just
a plain, ordinary ignorance of how to
cook. The 'gas LADY, has a headful OF

the oven, how to turn all the different
hampers and screws, and all the time
she is giving little cooking lessons as
she goes along, The "gas lady" finds

THE CHOP suEY FAD.


ROW the National Dish Of the
Chinese is Prepared.
Chop suey, the national dish OF
China for at least twenty-five cen.
turtles, bids fair to become a stand.
ard food in this country. There are
some sixty Chinese restaurants scat.
tered over the different boroughs OF
Greater New York whose chief attrac.
ton is this popular composition, and
several American restaurants have
sndeavored to take advantage of its
popularity by adding it to their daily
bill-of-fare. There is a ridiculous
amount Of mystery concerning the
dish. 1t is simple, economical, and
easily made. The general formula is
rs follows: One pound If moderately
can fresh pork, cut into pieces a quar-
yer Of an inch thick, a half an inch
wide, and an inch long; two chicken
livers, chopped up to the size of dice,
two chicken gizzards, cut into slices
the size of a nickel, and each ring
pinked with the lines almost meeting
in the centre.
The heat Of cooking causes the
abres to shrink, and converts the
circle into IA many.pointed star. A
quarter Of a pound Of celery cut inta
sliyers, quarter Of pound of canned
mushrooms, and a quarter of a pound
Of green peas, chopped string beans,
asparagus tips, bean sprouts, or sal.
sity. These are thrown into frying.
pan over hot fire, covered with a cup
Of water, four tablespoonsful OF pea
nut oil, olive oil, OF melted butter,
tablespoonful of chopped onion, half
Glove Of garlic, grated salt, white
pepper, and red pepper.
If the fire is hot enough, these will
cook in five minutes The contents Of
the pan should be stirred to prevent
burning, and the moment the water
boils out, fresh water should be added
In small quantities, :! prevent frying.
The dish should be served promptly,
and is not only palatable but whole
some and easily digested. In place of
pork, mutton can be employed, while
chicken liver and gizzard may be re.
placed by those Of the turkey. Some
Chinese cooks use the Indian soy,
which is sweeter The effect can be
Initiated by adding teaspoonful OF
table sauce and another of brown
sugar or a teaspoonful OF molasses.
An agreeable modification results from
the use Of asparagus tips along with
the other vegetable ingredients, while
the Singapore variety is obtained by
stirring in a tablespoonful Of curry
paste. In the Chinese restaurants the
cost varies from ten to twenty-five
cents a plate, the more expensive dish
a fair amount of the best
imported French mushrooms.-New
York Post.

In Germany the economic, intellect
ual, and, in certain degree, also the
legal condition Of woman is lately be.
ginning to take shape in accordance
with the principles Of the women's
movement.
The pressure of facts is gradually
convincing the public mind that the
traditional ideal German woman, so
ardently defended, is undergoing a
slow process Of transformation. VIII
lingly or unwilllngly 1t is admitted that
economic and social conditions force a
continually increasing number Of Ger.
man women to earn their own living.
The hope Of turning the wheel of his.
tory backward is more and more lisap.
pearing, and while narrow-mindedness
ridicules as preposterous the efforts Of
well-to-do classes of women, and their
purely ideal motives even in tenacious
ly conservative circles, it is recognized
that women in their battle for exist.
ence can no longer be denied their only
weapon-a thorough, universal and pro.
fessional education.
There is also an increasing willing
ness to open to women professions
hitherto closed to them by law or Gus
tom. The overcrowded state of the tra.
ditional professions for women clearly
demands this. Nevertheless, this will
lingness relates only to those employ
ments which are considered a priori,
suitable to so-called woman's Sphere"
Therefore, all professions which give
their holder a position Of any social
power remain for the present and will
remain In the immediate future the
carefully guarded prerogative of men.
All positions with an official Govern
ment salary attached, administration,
the police department, etc, are by GUS
tom reserved for men, nor can women
be lawyers, clergymen or teachers in
universities, and the opposition to the
demand for equal training for boys
and girls has its strongest root in the
dread that, after attaining an equal
standard in education women's profane
hands might be stretched out even to-
ward those employments.
The first breach, however, has been
made. Since a year and Lalf ago,
women may take the State examina-
lions In medicine and pharmacy at Ger.
man universities. The long-projected
appointment Of women as assistant
factory inspectors In Prussia, Baden,
Wurtemburg, Bavaria, Hesse, Saxony
and some Of the Thuringian States, as
well as their appointment as poor-law
guardians and guardians of orphans in
many German cities, may count as a
first step to future official employments.
The appointment Of women as subal.
tern officials and clerks In the post, tel.
egraph, railway and other State offices
has gone on less slowly, yet the adj
vance Of women in these positions is
not in every respect satisfactory, as
being in the flrst place due to the infe.

The Bureau of Chemistry in the De.
partment of Agriculture proposes to
feed fifteen picked men with doctored
food products, and thereafter 10 give
them sound food in the hope that some
comparative ratio Of value may be es
tablished for the multitudinous, pro
ducts OF cannery compounders. The
fifteen should be given the straight
goods first, leaving to the concluding
period of the test the chances OF bac-
terial or ptomaine poisoning. No
doubt the chemistry division experts
are quite capable of generalizing from
results with a few picked subjects OF
experiment in order TO determine the
relative utility of prepared food pro-
ducts as sustenance for the vast ma
jority Of our population. But their
conclusions will carry no weight unless
supplemented by remedial Legislation.
