COOKING MEATS.

The Loss of Nutritive Material In
the Various Processes.
The department of agriculture has is
sued a little pamphlet, Experiments
on Losses In Cooking Meat" which
contains some interesting points for
housekeepers. The chief loss In weight
IN cooking is due To water removed By
the heat Of cooking. In the roasting
of meats the chief loss Is due to the
removal of both water and fat. The
losses of nutritive material In the pan
broiling Of meats are very small as
compared with the losses which take
place In boiling, roasting and sauteing.
Beef which has been used for the prep
aration of beef tea or broth has lost
comparatively little In nutritive value,
though much of the flavoring material
has been removed. In cooking meats
by boiling, sauteing, pan broiling and
roasting the losses increase In proper
ton to the degree of cooking. In 9th
er words, the longer the time and the
higher the temperature of cooking, 9th
er things being equal, the greater the
losses resulting. AS a rule, the larger
the piece of meat cooked by the meth
DDS of boiling and roasting the smaller
are the relative losses.

Whatever is said she applies to

The woman who would avoid becom-
ing bore must remember that her per-
sonal affairs and petty domestic trou-
bles are of no particular interest to
any one except perhaps to spiteful
neighbors TO whom they form food for
gossip. If you meet or visit a friend
there is no necessity to enter into the
most minute details of your troubles or
to bemoan your fate, which, after all,
Is but cowardly. Friends have quite
enough trouble and worry with their
own affairs without having to listen to
a long recital of what does not concern
them. Every woman, of course, Is not
a good converSationalist. In that case
1t is a good plan to talk as little rs
possible. A good listener is always ap-
preciated. You cannot bore any one by
listening and are bound To win the
good opinion of the talker -McCalPs

ROUND THE VILLAGE.
An Old Children's Game which In

An Old Children's Game which In
Played In Many Ways.
Round the village Is an old game
which has many notifications The
children form a ring and, with arms
appraised, sing:
Round and round the village,
Round and round the village,
Round and round the village,
As we have done before.
The child going round the village"
Is supposed to get back to his starting
point a certain number of times, nc
cording to the size Of the ring, by the
time the verse ends.
Then they sing:
In and out the windows,
In and out the windows
In and out the windows,
AS we have done before.
This time he must go faster and get
In one window and out the next, run
ming In and out of the ring and back
to the starting point while the song
lasts. Another then takes his place.
Another way to play the game is to
have one child go round and round the
village, ETC., and to touch little friend.
Then go In and out the windows with
the tagged" child following, going in
and out the same places, trying to
catch the first child. singing;
"In and out the windows three

THE CHILDREN.

Don't worry the children.
Don't indulge them foolishly.
Don't repel their little condolences.
Don't show the slightest favoritlsm.
Don't lose your temper with the chill
dren.
Don't leave them too much with the
servants.
Don't get impatient at their most un-
answerable questions.
Don't give way when you have decid-
ed on any plan for them.
Don't forget that they are Gods chill
dren, lent to you for season.
Don't forget to encourage them and
praise their little efforts to please you.
Don't worry about them. Guardian
angels still exist even in the twentieth
century.
Don't disagree about them. Their
father and mother should always be in
unison In their training. -Woman's

"WeII, So Long"

You have often heard people in part
ing say, well. so long" Have you
ever wondered how 1t came to be used
in this way? Somebody has discovered
that 1t is derived from the Norwegian

well in that Land Of the Midnight Sun.
1t means the same as goodby in our
language and au revoir In French and
is pronounced with the "g" softened.

IN AMERICAN DRESS ACCESSORIES
Artistic Japanese Ideas and Materials Now Popu-

ends. with fringe finishing each of the
ends.
One of the pretty summer Japanese
hats was made OF OpenwOrk straw In
openwork design. Upon the under side
of the brim there was a design in big,
coarse japanese stitchery. The top of
the crown was work ed in the same man
ner while around the crown there was
a twist of Japanese silk finished with
bunch Of cherry blossoms. Fetching, in
deed, these little styles, and very attrac-
tive to the eye Of the artistic American
girl.
In girdles, in stocks, in parasols. in
sashes and in the small things OF dress
the tendency toward the japanese is
very pronounced. There are soft Japa-
nese silks. which are made. not in Ro-
man design, but very like the Roman
with stripes and squares. The silks are
decorated in odd ways. which are so
very Oriental as to admit of no mistake.
Upon a background OF plain dull gold
silk there Will shine forth the most brill
liant of ounce blossoms. all done in
clusters, with green leaves to temper the
glare of the scarlet. There are long
green stems to furnish the necessary
note of green. The design will be small
and neat and apparently done expressly
for the stock or girdle which II is to
adorn.
There Is one very attractive feature
about all the Japanese work. and. in
deed. about all Oriental designs. II
looks as though II were done TO order.
There is no hit or miss or haphaza I'd
about it. There is q finish that Is ex-
quisitely neat to everything. And In this
respect the American handiwo york has
taken a lesson from the Oriental. for
nothing could excel the Eastern work in
absolute neatness.
