Cheap Vegetables

BY EMMA E. SMITH.

Unhappy is the housekeeper who
has fallen into a culinary rut. She
does not always belong to that class
who must count every penny spent
upon her table. More often she is
one of those women whose household
allowance is neither very small nor
very large. She is not forced to de-
wise new dishes from economical ma
terials nor can she indulge in cpl
curean feasts. Therefore her task of
planning meals, is apt to lack zest for
herself whereas If she would occa-
sionally embark upon a astronomical
voyage OF adventure, the result would
be stimulating to her own interest and
eminently pleasing when the family
circle gathers around the dinner table.
For instance, many women who
think that sweet potatoes boiled or
baked are sufficient variant on the
Irish or white potato, will find that
they lend themselves to many other
tasty dishes, notably the receipts used
by Southern housekeepers.
For a breakfast dish or entree at
dinner, they make a delicious scallop.
Take potatoes that have been boiled
or steamed until tender, and when
cold slice moderately thin. Put a
layer about an inch thick in the bot
tom of a shallow pudding dish.
Sprinkle with butter and white sugar,
add another layer of potatoes, then
butter and sugar again. Continue until
the dish is filed. Scatter butter and
sugar over the top and pour over the
potatoes just enough boiling water to
keep them from burning. Cook half
an hour in a moderate oven, or until
the potatoes look transparent and are
delicately Drowned. The sugar may
be omitted and a seasoning OF salt
and pepper used. Should the potatoes
become dry, haste with melted butter
Those who do not like too much but
ter will prefer this dish II half cup
full of melted butter is mixed with
boiling water. and used to haste the
vegetable.
Another way of serving the tuber
is suited to dinner, luncheon, or sup
per. Cut the cold potatoes into slices
little more than an inch thick. For
one quart, melt half a cupful of butter,
and add to it plentiful seasoning
of salt and pepper and two table,
spoonfuls of sugar. Dip the slices In
this mixture, lay in buttered pan,
and cook about ten minutes In a hot
oven. When glossy and brown, they
are ready for the table.
A delicious hot dish for luncheon
or supper is a sweet potato pudding.
Peel a large raw sweet potato, dry
and CRATE it. Set a quart of milk over
the fire. When hot put in the grated
potato. Let 1t come to a boil, then
add an ounce of butter. Take from
a. l. L.. -.
beaten to a froth. Season to taste
with salt and pepper and bake twenty
minutes in a buttered pudding dish.
If the salt and pepper are left out, and
sugar to taste is added, this pudding
makes a good dessert.

Gold embroidered thread In a pad
ded satin stitch is also effective. A

green velvet with a pattern done in
cut steel beads, while a delicate piece
of pale blue panne velvet has its pat
tern picked out in seed pearls set
close together. These large buttons,
used to set off the waist line of Louis
coats, admit of elaborate decoration,
and a stunning effect in embroidery
shows black velvet covering for the
mold with a Jeweled center in EN-
broidery. That is, the same stitch and
coIors employed in jeweled altar
cloths were used on the velvet for
this button.
Hand-painted buttons are very ef-
fective for delicate evening gowns.
Here silk affords the most desirable
foundation and either Dresden or
Louis patterns are employed. The
pink and blue combination which APP
pears so much in evening frocks is adj
mirably developed in buttons. If the
frock is pale blue the buttons will be
of pale blue satin painted in dainty
Marie Antoinette garlands showing
pink flowers of the most delicate tint,
and pastel green leaves.
These buttons are frequently used
for the hearts OF rosettes. the rosettes
being formed Of the three colors en-
ployed in the button, and evolved
from the narrow grosgrain ribbon
which is employed in the Louis en-
broidery.

STARS-HEAVEN.
After Death We Migrate to
Other Worlds.

That man will ultimately inhab-
it the entire universe and that all
the stars and planets which fill the
immensity of space are in prepara-
ton for his final abode, is the re-
markable declaration made by DR..
w. T. Moore of Columbia, Mo. in
a book, Man Preparing for
Other Worlds" which will be is
sued in a few weeks. DIR. Moore,
who is dean emeritus of the Bible
college of Missouri, and a noted
theologian, sustains his argu-
ments with both scientific facts
and religious history. He believes
in the theory of evolution, but
goes further than the commonly
accepted theories and believes that
spiritual man has been SUBJ ject
to the same evolution as physical
man. He also argues that the
spiritual evolution has just begun
and that the spiritual man of the
futnre will be as far above the
spiritual man of to-day as the
present physical man is ahead of
the primeval Darwinian monkey.
My opinion" says DIR. Moore,
is that man will after death emf
CRATE from this earth to occupy
these stellar worlds. also believe
that in these new abodes man will
continue to grow thru the cease
less ages Of the future and that
the infinitude Of worlds is neces-
sary to satisfy the conditions of
this growth"
DR.. Moore also believes that tn e
changes in the future life will not
be so marked as many think aud
as many preach. This world, he
claims, is for preparation for future
life, which will not differ in many
respects from the earthly life.
Man is still in the process of
making" he continues. He has
not yet realized his development,
even on this earth, Slowly but
surely he is rising higher and
higher and higher in the scale Of
being Step by step he is gaining G
the ascendancy over all created be-
ings for which he is destined. We
have already seen that the struggle
through which he is passing is a
part Of the evolutionary process by
which be is fitted for the future
life. Suffering is Gods hammer

The People the Power.

Washington, March 24.-The
House Of Representatives, by
strictly party vote, put itself on
record as opposed to turning more
light upon the Post Office Depart
ment.
During the consideration of the
Post-oflce appropriation bill Mr..
Williams Of Mississippi, the
minority leader, offered an amend
ment to the bill providing for the
appointment of a joint select COM
mittee of eight, five members and
three Senators to exercise all
functions necessary to complete in
vestigatiOns of all frauds and irreg-
ularities alleged to exist in said de-
partment."
Mr.. Overstreet promptly made
the point of order that the amend
ment was not german and was
new legislation, which the chair
sustained.
Mr.. Williams appealed to Mr..
Overstreet to withdraw his point of
order, which Mr.. Overstreet refus-
ed to do.
Thereupon Mr.. Williams APP
pealed from the decision of the
chair, which brought from Mr..
Overstreet an appeal to the House
to uphold the chair. To do other
wise, he said, would be a reflection
on the chair and dignity of the
House.
Mr. Williams implored Mr.. Over
street to withdraw his point to
save the country from saying that
rather than have an investigation
of rOttenness the House will stand
upon a bare little parliamentary
technicality, that amounts to
nothing in any citizens mind.
There is a power greater than
the House." he declared (" and it is
the people of the United States.

AS TO MEXICO.
A County Typical of the
Best In Missouri.

The MESSAGE clips the following
from the Kansas City Star. 1t con-
tains little politics, " but would
contain a good dea | more and a
little fun" besides-but we re-
frain. If you want to see it all
you will have to hunt up the Star
and read it. Here's what we think
will mostly interest you;
Mexico is the county seat town
of Audrain county; the county in
Northeastern Missouri Chat on the
map looks something like an eagle
with outstretched wings just try
ing to soar.
If some one were making a stu
dy of Missouri and Missourians
and wished to be put in contact
with that which could be exempli-
fed as the best aud most solid in
the Missouri character, / know of
no better place to send him than
to this same town of Mexico.
1t is a substantial little city of some
six thousand or more inhabitants;
neat and tidy town Of that old
timey tidiness that bespeaks not
only outward cleanliness but the
spotlessness that dwells within.
There is nothing snowy about Mex
leo, nothing of pretense. There is
just enough of cling to the habits
and customs of old times to show
a Difference and respect for the
qualities in the old days that made
men honorable and upright, and
enough absorption of modern ten
denotes as harmonize with what
should be preserved of the old. To
walk about the streets of the town;
to see its homes, its colleges, its
churches, its stores and public
buildings, to see and talk with its
people and observe their ways is to
learn that here good predominates
and the evil is kept under; that
law and order here go hand in
hand with old fashioned courtesy,
with manly spirit tempered by real
refinement. Buffers Indians would
find no responsive element in Mex
leo.
In answer to query as to the
burdens and Inconvenience of his
official duties, the town marshal
replied:
"TrOuble7 We never haye any
trouble here in Mexico. Drunken
ness is the greatest cause of trouble
TO most town officers. Nobody gets
drunk here, tho there's many who
! takes his nip, like Solomon coun-
sells, for the stomach's sake. It's
been two months since I've known
anything like a fight. That was
when two fellows got to the fight
ing point down on a street that
used to be macadamized and there
were plenty of loose rocks around,
but has lately been paved with
granite blocks. The fighters
couldn't find any loose rocks to
throw at each other so they made
it up. I've been afraid this politi-
cal excitement might breed a fight
or two, but it's getting so one
sided here lately there amt much
chance of it,"
How one sidedi" 1 asked.
"All turning to Folk. There
amt enough left on the other side
to get up a debate let alone a fight, "
