In choosing the method of cooking we
must remember that fish has less flavor
than other flesh to begin with and lis
greater richness IN gelatin causes 1t to lose
more when cooked in water than meat.

The costly, spectacular and highly sue

Darling of the Gods in New York is
credited with the Introduction Of the
picturesque japanese effects in WOmen'g
dress which have been steadily gaining
in popularity all winter and are threat
ened to be prevalent even in the west
by spring. The kimOno coat has been
one of the favorite wraps all winter in
the eastern metropolis and the pretty
Oriental fashion of a flower above each
ear is appearing in many of the spring
hats. Sometimes short. fluffy ostrich
tip takes the place of the flower beneath

Miss Blanche Bates has set at rest for
I ever all doubts and fears as to whether
one must be petite in order TO wear the
kimono and the obi gracefully and ef-

and some of the other women in the
caste of the Darling of the Gods are
more than that but they wear the pref

c0mingness. Judging from their success
with it the style of dress is suited to
any size. age and status of femininity.
The secret is, it is said, to learn how to
wear the kimono properly.

Son,nnnbulism.

Somnambulism? What is it? Did you
ever walk in your sleep? If so, yon
know Just about as much about this
strange use of the faculties and senses
of the mind and the body as does the
average physician. Somnambulism has
been mystery and a matter of discus
sion to the medical profession since the
days of the ancients. They knew as
well as we all now know that there is
such a thing as somnambulism or walk
ing in the sleep. They attempted to eX-
plain it just as modern medical science
has been endeavoring to explain it ever
since. But as it was then so it is now.
There are 50 many explanations that
even the physician is puzzled to decide
which to accept.

with more buoyance according to its
age, owing to enlargement of the emp.
ty space ut the thick end by evapora-
tion of water from the white; hence
the egg takes a different position in
the water. Fresh eggs remain hori-
zontal, an egg three to five days old
makes an angle of 20 degrees with the
horizon, one eight days gives an angle
over 45 degrees, and at the end of four
teen days the angle is 60 degrees. An
egg three weeks old lies at 20 degrees.
One three months remains vertical, and
when it is older still it floats.

CARE OF FURNITURE.
How to Clean and Keep 1t In Good
Condition.


Condition.
The care of furniture woods is an
exceedingly interesting part of the in
telligent housekeeper's duties. The
daily light dusting must supplement
the weekly rubbing if the "bloom," in
this instance not desirable, is to be
kept away.
AS a rule, the use of oily restoratives
is to be deprecated says a writer in
Harpers Bazaar Unless applied by a
tireless arm and thoroughly rubbed in,
and thereafter the piece kept i'll perfect
polish by daily rubbing, the oil is
sure to form a crust sooner or later
which is gummy to the touch and not
pleasing to the eye. For this reason
new furniture should be kept as long
as possible without the application Of
such restoratives.
Furniture which has been finished
with shellac or varnish. whether in
glossy or dull finish. should never be
cleansed with soap or water. Soap is
made to cut oily substances. and in the
performance of the service for which
it is made eats the oil out of the waXed,
oiled or shellacked surface it touches
and destroys it.
Where white spots appear ON polish
ed surfaces from the dropping of liq
uids or from heat the immediate appli-
cation of raw linseed oil will generally
restore the color The oil should be
left Oh the affected spot for several
hours or over night. Alcohol will per
form the service if applied at once to
rosewood or highly finished mahogany
In each instance. when the color has
returned, the spot should be repolished
with a piece of cheesecloth moistened
with turpentine

For luncheon or for a late supper
stewed lobster is a delicate dish. 1t is
not difficult to prepare, and if the lob
ster is boiled in advance it can be got
ready in few minutes. First extract
the meat from a boiled lobster, cut it
up into small pieces and put in a stew
pan. There should be just enough wa
ter to keep it from burning and to make
the gravy Cook it slowly for five min
utes, and add one tablespoonful Of but
ter, a little pepper and salt and then
heat to boiling. Pour it into a dish
and serve hot.

How 20 clean Enameled shoes

Enameled shoes can be kept in good
condition by washing them in sweet
milk. All dust and mud should first
be removed; then the shoes should be
thoroughly washed with the milk and
then wiped dry with soft cloth. This
will give them a polish almost equal to
new and will help them to retain their
smart appearance for long time.

How to Destroy Cooking Odors.

If the cooking of the turnips, onions
or even the turkey has left the least
suggestion of its preparation in the
dining room. pour few drops of oil of
lavender in vase or bowl and half
fill with hot water. This gives a de-
lightful freshness to the air, which is
most desirable when the house is stuffy
and doors and windows cannot be
thrown open at the last moment.
