COOKING HINTS.

Chocolate is greatly improved by
adding a teaspoonful Of strong coffee
just before serving.
In adding -four to gravies, always
use a dour dredger and there will be
no Jumps in the gravy.
Some housekeepers vary the flavor Of
potato salad by boiling the potatoes for
it in stock, or, if it is more convenient,
in the soup kettle.
In using sour milk the proportion for
gingerbread biscuits, cake or almost
any dough or batter is one teaspoon of
baking soda to two cups Of sour milk.
If making a gelatin dessert on a hot
or wet day, add little more gelatin
than the recipe requires, half as much
again if you wish to mold fruit into
the jelly.
Eggs a la ranigote is made by boil
ing eggs three and half minutes, roll
in beaten egg and fine bread crumbs.
fry in deep fat; when brown, drain on
paper, garnish with parsley and serve
with ranigote sauce.
To make a small shortcake take a
pint of pastry -four, rub in lard the size
of an egg, teaspoonful cream Of tartar,
half teaspoonful soda, salt, and mix
with sweet milk. Bake in quick oven,
split and butter and add fruit.

BOXING The COMPASS.
Hhe Test Between "A Sailor and q
Landlubber.

Boys who live in seaport towns are
sometimes asked to box the compass
If they can do it quickly and accurate
ly, they are fine sailors and may grow
up to be the captain of a four master
If they miss a point or can only do Ii
slowly, they are laDdlubbers and will
never see blue water. To box the com
pass means to name all the points in
order just as fast as you can speak.

Can you do it?
If a needle is drawn a few times over
the ends Of q horseshoe magnet, it be-
comes magnetized. Push such mag
netized needle through a small cork.
Place the cork in a bowl of water, TAX
ing pains to see that the cork when it
floats on the water will carry the nee
die in q horizontal position or "on an
even keel" Another way is to cut
about three inches from a hollow straw
(such as is used to suck Lemonade and
to push the needle inside the straw.
The straw will float and carry the nee
die. Now observe what happens. The
floating needle will slowly swing round
till it points north and south. The
straw will behave in the same way.
Push it in any other direction, and the
moment it is free it swings back again.
We do not know who first observed
the fact that floating magnetized nee
die will point to the north. Nor do we
know precisely when or where some
unknown inventor used this idea to
make a compass. All we know is that
the Chinese made and used compasses
more than 1000 years ago.
When men began, perhaps 10000
years ago, to sail upon the water, they
used marks upon the shore to guide
them on their way. Long years after
they observed that a certain star kept
at all times the same place in the sky,
and they used this pole star as a guide
in steering their ships. Today a steam
ship starting down the Hudson river
for Europe is guided by the pilot, and
he uses the buoys, beacons and other
guide marks to steer the ship down the
bay. Off Sandy Hook he gives up the
ship to the captain, who instructs the
helmsman to steer northeast by east,
east by north or whatever course he
Selects and the helmsman, watching
the compass, keeps the ship headed in
that direction.-Dallas News.

For the Use of the Right Hand.

The buttons on coats, etc, are placed
on the right side and the shed of the
hair in boys to the left evidently to suit
manipulation by the tight hand. The
great philosopher Newton records that
at first he confined his astronomical
observations to his right eye, but after
ward he managed to train his left. But
there are persons who could not do this

strual troubles in an incredibly short
time. In a simple case of deranged
menses Wine of Cardui never fails. To
relieve disordered menses is to remove
the cause of other female troubles. Any
physician will tell you that to remove
the cause of a disease renders the cure
easy, in fact seldom fails to complete
the cure. If you would have the same
relief which Miss Markell secured try
Wine of Cardui. You can take it with
out an examination and without any
publicity whatever. You can take it in
the privacy of your home and secure
Just as much benefit as if a doctor had
prescribed it for you. Thousands of wo-
men are feeling the vigor of returning
health by taking Wine of Cardui.
