COOKING DRIED FIR .lTS,-Suc,

on cooking slowly and long soaking.
After washing the fruit, cover with
cold water and let stand over night.
Add the sugar to the water after

gently till tender. You will be sur
prised to see how much finer it will
be in flavor and appearance than
that cooked rapidly without soaking.

A MEXICAN KITCHEN.
Interesting Glimpse into the Culinary
pepartmert Of the Southerner.

Department OF the Southerner.
Writing in the February House
keeper about the Mexican Kitchen,
Leila Fisher Woodward says The
predominant idea in the planning of
the typical Mexican house seems to
be to have the kitchen occupy as much
space as possible. There is one argu-
ment, at least, to advance in favor of
the canaciOus kitchen, and that is
from the sanitury standpoint, for its
yery dimensions seem to give it an
air of cleanliness and good ventila.
tion that otherwise might be lack
ing. The walls Of the Mexican kitchen
are made of adobe bricks, two or three
feet in thickness. They are plas-
tered on the inside and painted on the
outside, while the interior is covered
design The first thing that attracts
the eye of the foreigner on entering
the Mexican kitchen is the brasero.
This is a substance for our ranges
and coOk-stOyes, a huge affair that eX-
tends across one side of the room.
Sometimes, especially in the Kitchens
of the hotels, there are as many as
four braseroe one traversing the
| lcH~th of each wall. and as the kitchen
/ is usually square, they are of equal
| length. The brasero looks like an
ordinary workbench made of adobe
brick, with several openings in the
top which are crowded with CRATES to
hold the charcoal used in cooking.
Primitive hampers are fashioned by
openings along the front, which afford
a good draft, for they are so construct
ed that they lead up to the fire. The
shelves and sides Of the brasero fair
ly groan with their load Of cooking
utensils of various forms, the work Of
the native Indians. Some Of these
an American housewife would consider
mere or amen-s, as she could ascribe
for them no possible use, but the
Mexican cook requires more utensils
than her American sister, and every
vessel has its use. And what a vast
amount Of dish-washing this necessi-
tates, All the baking is done in cover
ed pans. and. Ct course, the Mexican
cook even were she familiar with the
process, could not succeed with fakey,
light American biscuits, for the brase-
TO is always too hot or too cold.
Every kitchen. except in the homes of
he very poor. Is provided with a sink
and big draining board Many Of
the quaint pieces Of pottery reposing
on the pantry shelf and regarded as
cheap articles Of use, only, would be
hailed with delight as a priceless or
nament by the American housewife
Sometimes the p0n pawn these beauti.
full articles. which in themselves may
be regarded as works Of art, and it is
seldom that the owner can redeem
them And thus these former kitchen
utensils come 10 occupy honored
places on the maurels and sideboards
Of aristocrauc American homes.
