THE HOME AND IT'S
MISTRESS.

Women are accused, with perhaps
Il grain of justice in the accusation, Of
having no calculative ability. They
are supposed to think money grows on
trees, so to speak, and to have no idea
of its value. Allowing speck of
truth in this view, we may retort by
asking, Whose fault is it If a girl
has spending money given her when
she asks for it, more or less grudging-
ly or freely, as the case may be, how
can she properly appreciate or judge
how hard it is to amass?
But this, the learning how to use
your income to the best advantage: is
to be one of your first and most press
ing duties, dear mistress, when you
begin your life's work-the making of
home for your family. And the
most amazing and disnaying expe-
rience you will find to be the perfectly
obnoxious fashion dollars and dimes
have of taking wings unto themselves
and flying away, leaving no tangible
evidence with you of their possession.
The many useful and beautiful things
you had planned to buy with some of
those dollars and dimes you have not
bought; neither have you the money !!
Then it is yoa who will find it very
great help to begin systematic course
Of bookkeeping, after crude method,
possibly, which no expert can deci-
pher and to which you alone hold the
key. 1t is not an agreeable task, but
it is very helpful one to jot down
each item of expenditure and to go
apart and silently mediate upon the
result in cold, unfeeling figures Of
"where that money went
After awhile, if you are the sensible,
practical mistress, you will see that
"that money went in small, almost
too small to be counted, sums for tri-
fles, and that your only redemption
Fl ON the habit of spending it that way
is to learn its actual value. Not that
l believe in denying ones self every
thing pretty and useless; life would
be but dreary Sahara if we had no
belongings that could not be strictly
termed useful and we are to be con
graduated upon our selfdenial when
we refrain from investing in some of
the many, so many, tempting articles
displayed for our undoing.
4 dear little woman, one of those
fortunate ones born with the faculty
of saving better developed than the Or

went "down-town," unless with some
specific and certain purchase to make,

SERVING HARD BOILED EGGS.

When eggs are to be boiled hard, in
order that they may be made digesti-
BILE, they should be allowed to boil for
twenty minutes. There are many
ways in which hard-boiled eggs may
Ue served. They can be cut in quar-
ters or dice and served with a rich
cream sauce, and they are excellent
when prepared with the sauce arrang-
ed in baking dish, the bottom of the
dish being first lined with a thin layer
Of Swiss cheese, the top of the creamed
mixture covered with crumbs and bits
of butter. This should be placed in a
hot oven until the crumbs are deli
cate light brown.

A FEW WAYS TO COOK EGGS.

Few housewives realize there are
nearly thousand ways of cooking eggs.
Eggs can be served every day in the
week and three times each day in a
different manner, and of all the ways
few are so difficult as to boil it, AS
Emerson said, "There is 4 best way of
doing everything, even if it be to boil
an egg" Eggs are highly nutritious
and easily digested when properly
cooked. There are several ways of
boiling eggs, but the best is to place
the egg in cold water on the fire and
remove as soon as the water boils. If
an egg is placed in boiling water it
should be allowed to remain there
three minutes, the water boiling all
the time. 1t is also difficult to poach
eggs. The white of a poached egg
should be translucent. To have them
in perfection they should be cooked in
what is known as an egg poacher or
in muffin rings. If the latter are used
place as many rings as there are eggs
to poach in shallow pan; turn in
enough boiling water to just cover the
rings and add little salt. When the
water boils draw the pan to the side
Of the range and break an egg into
each ring. 1t should take at least ten
or fifteen minutes to cook the eggs to
the translucent stage desired. Have
ready even pieces Of toast one half inch
thick, cut into rounds trifle larger
than muffin rings; moisten them with
hot water and spread with a little but
ter; remove the eggs carefully on a
skinner and place one on each round Of
toast.
TIE DIFFICULT OMELET.
An emelet is the most difficult of
any egg dish to prepare. 1t requires
practice to give it the right shape,
which is high in the center and point
ed at the ends. 1t is we'll if possible
to be provided with an omelet pan.
The usual cause of failure in an ONE
let is that the pan for cooking it in is
not hot enough. A medium-sized
omelet is made of eggs, l teaspoon
full of salt, 2 tablespoonfuls of milk
| tablespoonful Of butter. Beat the
eggs with a good egg beater and add
the salt and milk have the pan very
hot. Put in a spoonful of butter and
pour in the beaten egg. Shake vigor-
ously on the hottest part of the stove
until the egg begins to thicken; then
let it stand a few seconds to brown.
Run the knife between the sides of the
omelet and the pan, fold and turn on a
hot dish and serve Immediately. This
omelet may be varied by adding three
tablespoonfuls of grated cheese just
before it is folded. When sweet
omelet is desired, currant of grape
jelly may be added before it is fold
ed.

Three important measures remain
by Congress, and should
any one Of them fail Of passage the
President will probably call an extra

procity measure, the Philippine bill and
the interoceanic canal. Besides these
are other measures like the shipping
bill, which may be urged by an in
nuentlal body Of members. From pres
ent indications objections to the Phil
ippine measure have spent their force
and there is prevailing impression
chat Democratic opposition has only
shown its own rashness and the i'm
Dortance Of the passage of the measure.
Cuban reciprocity hangs in the bal
ance, but the President, mindful Of
our pledges and of the necessities of
the new Republic, has set his heart on

to call an extra session if necessary,
will likely force it through.

party see this as plainly as we do

In this way they hope to make up for

PROPERTY IN OFFICE

The North American quotes Senator
Quay as uttering the following senti-
ments to certain of his friends:
| want to send Dick to the United
States Senate to succeed me, as Don
Cameron succeeded his father.
/ think the people Of Pennsylvania
win not hold me Over-selfish, and Will
agree that a fathers desire to see his
son in the United States Senate is par
donable.
| hope to name for governor a man
who will be as loyal to Dicks interests
as l would be myself; a man without
entangling alliances, who will owe ne
man political debt except myself, and
yet a man whose character cannot be
assailed.
While q man may have a laudable
ambition to see his son succeed in life,
yet one who regards the great Office
which Senator Quay holds as something
to be given away as a matter OF per-
sonal favor. has demonstrated his own
unhtness. or course, Richard Quay
has a right TO aspire to the Senate at
the expiration of his fathers term, but
his case should be considered on its
merits. and he should enter the field
and take his chances on the same basis
as other men. Quay points to Don
Cameron as an example that he would
like 10 follow.s He remembers that
when old Simon Cameron, weary of
the honors and cares of Office, decided
to retire. he placed his mantle on the
shoulders Of Don, and pushed the
young man into the lime light. 1t was
a mistake and a bad precedent, though
Cameron junior developed into a
rather safe and conservative man.
Richard Quay has never shown any ex-
traordinaIy ability-in fact, without
the influence and prestige of his father
would be regarded as commonplace.
But the alarming thing is the cool
ness with which a new principle in our
political life is announced and accept
ed. Instead OF the republican idea
THAT merit alone is to count. each per-
son having an equal chance, regardless
or the accident of birth, constantly
there ls a difference paid to the idea
that certain officesare the properties OF
families, and are to be transmitted
from one generation to another. The
prime difficulty is that there has
grown up in recent years an idea thai
great offices are the property of indi
viduals; that they have the right {,
them, and under the guise of majority
rule and the viii of the masses, it fl
made to appear that this is the demand
Of the people Once this idea is estab
iished, the next stage is easy; wha
man owns he can transmit, and Sen
ator Quay has simply carried this idei
TO its legitimate conclusion.
The most surprising thing is that tlh
people are pleased. Some even defen
it with peculiar logic through whicl
one could drive a horse and wagon, bu

the recipients of his bounty are graf,
ful. But rewards which are bestowe
at lhis hands are not for services pei
formed TO the public, but persona
services. If the American people d
not soon get away from this idea,
great load will be put on the shoulder
of our posterity. And should the id,
continue we shall finally have an ari
tocracy, if not orders OF nobility.
