HOME-MAKING
The Makers Thereof Arc got Always
to the Manner Born and Train
ing lis Needed.

A novel course has recently been
opened in a training school of kinder
garten teachers in an eastern city. 1t
is called a course in home-making. Its
prospectus recognizes the fact that the
preparation for the most important in
dustry in which women cal engage has
always been more or less haphazard,
says Youths Companion.
If a girl could make a loaf of bread
and a cup of coffee, if she knew thu
beefsteak is bought by the pound and
not by the y&ri, and that windows
should not be washed outside in freez-
ing weather, she was too often thought
to be equipped for housekeeping-at
least when the family was to consist
OF Just herself and her husband" The
miseries of the first year of marriage,
with so meager a supply of knowl-
edge and experience, are written deep
in the memories of many a husband
and wife.
1t is a good sign that a popular
school has had the sense and the cour-
age to establish a department where
girls over Is years old may study the
house intelligently-its construction,
its decoration and furnishing; house
keeping, with its expenses, it's ac-
counts, its marketing, it's cooking and
its laundry work; and finally the nur-
ture and training of children, from
the care of their physical needs to the
selection of their games and their
books.
We have acted too long upon the az
sumption that home-makers are born,
not made. 1t is high time that we
should at least make the experiment
of teaching women expressly how to
meet the varied demands of life in the
home.

SHOT FOR PRIZES.
Dloodgood Won the Gun Case-Hartmann
Silver Medal.

The shoot ut Morgan, which took
plhce Saturday, vas fairly attended.
There was quite a number of out OF
town shooters. The first shoot was
for the gun case which was won by
Trav Bloodgood who killed five
straight birus. The next on the pro
gram was rifle shooting for a silver
medal which was won by Will Hart
mann, of Perth Amboy. The mex
vas sweep stake shooting at live birds.
Thsre were so many good shooters
among them that each took a piece of
the money. The match between Oscar
Mundy and John Rea was called of
owing to sickness in Rea's family.
1t WAS quite disappointing to many.
A good time was enjoyed by all pre-
sent. 1t is hoped that the match be
tween Mundy aud Rea will come of
later when Rea is able to appear,

Chicken

Take the breast OF Il chicken. and
with a knife remove the skin and all
fat. Cover the meat with cold water,
place on the stove, and let simmer for
three hours, then remove it from the
broth and chop fine. Put the chopped
particles into a sieve, and with a large
spoon press it through. Pour the broth
through the sieve also, as you mix it
with the meat, SO that you may be sure
there are no particles Of chicken that
have not been passed through a sieve.
Season all with salt and a little pepper.
Then add one-half cupful of cream and
bring TO a scald CT the stove. This will
prove harmless and very n|ourishing to
even the most delicate stomach.-Farm

LATEST SOCIETY GAME.
T~anlbourcIio Is Taking Tic Place OF
Lawn Tehnis Among the
Swcll. Clubs.

A new game has iuvadCd the ranks Of
~cociety and seems destined TO spread
much as plng-pcng cid q few years age.
1t bears the somewhat e%uphonious name
Of tanbourello, deriving the name from
TIE instrument of the play, which is
nothing more or less than q ~tambOurine,
Thc game is played exactly like lawn
tennis, the difference being that in
stead Of a racket q tambCuriEe IS used.
But this difference is q big one, as
rnybCdy who has ever played lawn ten
mis- will readily understand. That the
game has prospects of becoming pop
ular is evidenced by the fact that two
clubs have recently made application
to the London county council FOR per
mission to play t~ambourello in tho
parks under the councils control, arG
this permission has been readily ac-
corded, says the London Daily Mail.
The physical exercise afforded b.
t~anlbOLrello is considerable, ard to hit
the ball with such an awkward iEstru-
ment requires a remarkably stron:
wrist. Nothing but practice can develop
this particular type, which will later 10
Goubt be known as the t~ambOurelio
wrist. Tho ~tambourine, by the way, If
The player so wishes, can be fitted with
the usual bells. whiah will lend a MI
steal accompaniment to the game. Tho
sounds produced by four players with
bell-itted t~ambourines would certainly
be an addition to the game and to the
lady player would probably prove par
ticularly attractive.
While tGnbourcllo will probably be-
come very popular among the gentler
sex. men will also find in the game 4
pastime at which it is by 10 mean easy
to become an accomplished player.
Beginners find it very hard to return
a ball over the net at all. When they
make their first attempts the tambour-
inc lacks driving power-or apparently
lacks it until the secret of its driving
capabilities has been discovered. 1t
takes some practice to make the discov-
cry. but when the trick of driving the
ball has been learned immense impetus
can be given il with the tambourine.
The game in the London paris will,
of course, be played on grass. but an
asphalt court offers better facilities.
Volleying cannot be INDUCED in. and Z
slow court, as a grass court often is. es-
pecially after rain, does not permit of a
good back game. Lady players will es-
pecislly appreciate the advantages of of
playing from the back of the court. for
it is doubtful if ever they could develop
the tamhOurelIo wrist sufficiently to en-
able them to volley to any great extent.
AS yet there is nc recognized tam
bourelio champion, but doubtless next
season will see his or her arrival.
