THE COOKBOOK.

In making any sauce put the -four
and butter in together, and your sauce
will not be lumpy.
A heavy salad is always out of place
in an elaborate dinner Mayonnalse is
permissible, but French dressing is
better.
If corned beef is very red. which
means it is very salt, put it to cook in
cold water. This draws out a portion
of the salt.
When croquette mixtures are too wet
to mold and shape, put in more chop
ped meat or fish or in a desperate case
finely pounded breadcrumbs.
In making custard for lemon pies it
is better to partly bake the crust be-
fore adding the mixture so that it may
not be absorbed by the paste.
Gingerbread is improved by adding
to it, when mixing, a cupful of chop
ped prunes. Use the Juice of the
prunes instead of water and mix the
dough a little sitter,
Fried breakfast bacon is much i'm
proved if cooked in some Of the bacon
fat saved from the previous day. There
should be just enough for the bacon to
float in, and it must be hot before the
rashers are added. Cook three min

lMPACTED EAR WAX.


eO10 ASC AEG&tCos
The normal secretion Of the orifce
OF the ear Is the product Of glands
situated In the outer half Of the canal
only. This secretion-the cerumen, or
ear wax--is slowly poured from the
gland ducts as thin, yellowish liquid.
AS 1t quickly loses a large amount of
its watery elements by evaporation
and becomes admixed with dust 1t
forms thin layer, waxlike in color
anu consistency, which normally Gov
ers only the outer portion Of the canal,
that In which the glands are located.
This layer Of material probably has
Its chief function, in common with the
few small hairs in the same location,
In protecting the vibratory membrane
the drum-from the contact Of dust.
1t IS interesting to observe that the
exit of this layer Of wax IS accom-
plished by nature chiefly with the aid
Of the motion communicated to the
ear canal by the movement of the jaw
in chewing and talking, a motion read
lily felt by touching the Oritice with
the finger tip during these processes.
The constant increase Of the secretion
is therefore provided with CORE
spending loss, which takes place almost
as imperceptibly as the constant loss
Of the superficial layer of the skin from
the surface of the body.
This explanation serves to make
clear why the use Of ear spoons, pins
or hairpins is unnecessary. The use
Of such objects Is not only superilu
GUS but 1t is often the cause of the
very condition which those who use
them would prevent.
Even too Vigorous washing with
twisted cloth or sponge, for example,
may result in pushing the wax back
into the canal until mass sufficient
to block the entire opening is accumu-
lated
The first intimation Of the presence
Of impacted wax is often the sudden
occurrence Of considerable degree Of
deafness. This is most likely to hap
pen OH damp day or just after or dur
Ing bath. A slight amount of mois-
ture causes the mass to swell so that
the narrow chink previously existing
between the mass and the canal Is
closed. If it Is not now removed, the
mass may shrink and the hearing pow
er be temporarily restored only to be
lost again when conditions arise caus
ing an increase in the size Of the mass
Firm, gentle Swinging with warm
water from piston ear syringe Is usu-
ally regarded as the safest and best
method Of removing the mass, the
handling Of which had better be in
trusted to physician or trained nurse,

IN MANDAIAY.
Thousands Of PaSOda Bells Ring at
the Setting of the Spn.

Thousands Of Pasoda Bells Ni11 st
the Setting Of the Sun.
Mandalay has its own sky. soft and
gray and incurving like a tent, with
white cloud lines that seem meant fcr
scrolls II one could read. 1t is the
Very Sacred City the city of contem-
platiOn, the city Of all the monks. A
thousand pagoda bells give tongue to
the wind there when the sun goes
/ down; crumbling thousand more give
up to time the testimony Of outworn
, things.
1t lies in curved arm Of blue hills,
and something broods over 1t with 80
llcitude. This you suspect from the air
of the place and the way the shrtil
talk Of the parrots and the complaint
of the goats and the laughter OF the
people come to you wherever you are
sitting. Afterward you go out. as l
did that morning with the commission
er, and see under the very zenith. where
the low gray Mry is caught up, the
square of the dark red crenellated
walls of the old royal city. three miles
each way, and outside the walls the
parallel clear moat thinking back at
the sky, and then you are sure that
over and above the government Of In
dia some spirit Is in possession here,
some spirit that bends in affection over
finished and forgotten things.
Seven rooted kiosks stand at inter-
walls over the gates in the wall-they
are called pyathat. but they strike the
eye like peaceful conclusions-and low
white stone bridges raised in the mid
die span the moat. The buttresses of
the gates are painted deep gray and
white, and the bank that slants steeply
from the wall to the water has here
and there low, twisted, spreading
tree on 1t, purely for decoration. You
may stop at a corner and look two
ways along the rejecting water, with
bridge after bridge receding across.
and pyathat after pyathat diminishing
above, and each red and gray and
white vista so picked out and finished
under the quiet light slipping adorably
into the near blue Of the hills.
Mandalay seemed aware with bunt-
ing that day. flags and arches of well
come everywhere and crowds hocking-
aware and almost awake-but you
looked again and saw that she only
turned in her sleep and smiled, as at
dream.-Exchange.

Birds Eggs Too Much For Science

Birds Eggs Too Much For Science.
1t is not often that science acknowl-

ly simple matter, but she frankly does
SO in regard to the color and marking
Of large proportion Of birds eggs.
A reason there must be for their in
finite diversity; it cannot be an as-
thetic one, and all we can say with
any confidence is that the ever per-
vading instinct Of distrust is probably
exhibited in eggshells as in more i'm

the securing Of safety from many enc
