APPETIZING LUNCHEONS.
The MONDAY Meal Should Be Made
Not Only Palatahle But
Attractive.

Luncheon is usually woman's S meal,
as IN majority Of families the men
can only appear at the table morning
and evening, says the Boston Herald.
Such being the case, it too frequently
happens that n1istresses allow this
meal to be prepared and served in \
careless, even slovenly fashion, and
that the dishes are but too palpably
a rehash OF previous meals
Now there is no reason why the re-
mains of yesterdays roast should not
serve for to-day's luncheon, but there
is no need Of serving it in an unap-
petlzlng manner; nor does it follow
that because the meal is a simple one
the maid should shirk her duties or
perform them in slip-shod fashion.
Remnants often taste better in COM
blnatlon than in their original form,
but they should appeal to the eve as
we'll as to the palate, while the maid
who is allowed to be careless at lunch
is soon likely to be equally slack at
breakfast and finally at dinn~r.
Scientists tell us we should seldom
indulge in meal of exclusively cold
dishes, and one we'll made hot dis:l
should always appear at the lunch Ia
Die. 1t may be only thick SOUP, but.
II hearty, potato or egg salad and a
cup OF cocoa or chocolate will make a
satisfactory meal. So many combi:la-
tlons as we'll as omissions of courses
are allowable that there should be lit
tie difficulty in planning luncheons,
while the housekeeper who is fond of
cooking and takes pride in originating
dishes can make this home meal her
trump card without any appreciable
money expenditure.
II the other dishes are not very sub
stantial in character they may be
helped out by hearty soup. Any
number of cream vegetable soups may
be evolved from the following general
directions: Mash the vegetable and
press through sieve; if not sufiicienl-
ly tender, boil or steam until it can
be pulped. For each cupful of pulp
make thin white sauce with one ta-
blespoonful of butter, one tablespoon
and a half Of flour and one pint OF
milk. Add seasoning to taste, mix
gradually with the pulp and sim1. c1

Do not use wire netting for the trel-

to burn the vines during midsummer

WHEN Y0V GO TO THE WORLD'SFAIR
Suggestions That Should Be Helpful to the Stra naer
in ST. Louis--No Trouble When You Get Your Bear.
inas-The Greatest of Worlds ExDostons

It will be worth all the self-denial
that one may practice for several years
to see the Worlds Fair of 1904 at ST..
Louis. Money saved, earned or bor-
rowed cannot be better spent than in
getting acquainted with the worlds
progress as revealed at this latest and
greatest of expositions All of us can
not travel around the world to take
note of what the nations are doing,
but the nations from all around the
world desire us to know and have sent
their best works to st. Louis to be
placed on display.
Therefore, by all means or any
means, see the Worlds Fair. 1t means
everything to your future growth of
mind, to your present pleasure and life
long satisfaction. Who that saw the
Centennial exposition or the Colum-
bian exposition that does not revert to
it with recollections Of keen pleasure?
Within the two square miles of the
Louisiana Purchase exposition at St.
Louis there is more to be seen than
ever was brought together in ten times
the space before. 1t is great collec-
tion Of expositions massed into one. 1t
is nearly twice as large as the Colum-
bian exposition at Chicago, nearly ten
times larger than the Pan-American
exposition at Buffalo. Every exhibit
palace offers the equivalent of splen-
did exposition, each covering many
acres of space.
The largest of these Is the Palace of
Agriculture, with it's q acres under
roof and filled to the doors with the
most wonderful agricultural collection
ever assembled upon any occasion.
The important states and nations of
he world are all here alongside great
numbers of individual exhibitors. Five

traordinary display. Corn, cotton,

Outwitting the Wireworms.

This is how a farmer got ahead of
the wlreworms: Several years ago he
broke up an old meadow and planted it
in corn, but the wireworms DESTROYED
all the young plants. He replanted, but
to no avail, and could not get a stand
that year. The next year he planted
the field again, but the corn was ruined.
The third year, by the advice of an old
farmer, he let the ground remain un-
broken until the 1st of May, then
plowed deeply and cross-harrowed. He
then put on common salt, sowing it
broadcast, as he would have sown grass
seed, at the rate of two-thirds of bar
rel per acre. He again cross narrowed
and planted the corn upon the salted
ground the first year and the one fol-

PLANT SOME GOOD TRIES.
Elm, Catalpa and Locust Are Rapid
Growers and Require But
Little Care.

The American or white elm is large
tree and when full grown often attains
height of 100 feet and trunk diam
eter of six feet. 1t forms round or
broad and spreading top. 1t is rapid
grower and adapts itself we'll to all
kinds Of soils. The tree is hardy, seldom
attacked by insects and diseases and
casts an ideal shade. 1t is frst-class
tree to plant about the house and yard.
The catalpa is a rapid growing tree,
often attaining a height of 60 feet and
a trunk diameter of three to four feet.
1t grows best on a deep rich soil and
satisfactory growth can seldom be Sc
cured on light, thin SOIL In pure
planting the trees will completely shade
the ground in three or four years. 1t
sprouts we'll from the stump, when the
trees are cut in the winter
There are two species of catalpa,
catalpa speciosa, commonly called har-
dy, or western catalpa. and catalpa

catalpa. The western catalpa is tall

lhese characteristics are Influenced by

planting. both kinds form low, branch
Ing heads. The western catalpa as
rule produces only one to three seed
pods in cluster. and each pod is from
IA to 20 inches long and one-half inch
IN diameter The southern catalpa pro-
duces from four to eight pods in
cluster. and each pod is from eight to
ten inches long; the seeds are small and
tapering at the end
Black or yellow locust grows rapid

trunk diameter of three feet The top
is of good form with a main central
stem when grown in close paintings, but
1t frequently branches and forms a.
large round head when grown in the
open. 1t grows fastest when set in

rapidly than the other trees and

expressing his approval in his own
way. When order, or something like
order, was restored, other speakers
followed the chairman, some exulting
in a rapidly approaching millennium,
some speaking less inflatedly, and some
with sound common sense, but all
more Or less pointing to the fact that
the combination of the working classes
OF two great nations was an assurance
that the day was not far distant when
the working men of all nations would
follow the splendid example which had
!! been set by the working men of Ger
many in coming to the rescue of their
oppressed fellowworkers in England.
AS Number Two was now on his
legs, and the moment for turning OF
the lights would soon be arriving, I
edged my way out and watched the
rest of the performance through the
couple of tiny oval-shaped windows,
which were set, like a pair of eye
glasses shining out from an express
sionless countenance, high up on the
face of the swing doors. l saw him
hand over the satchel to the chair
man, who worked up his audience to
a state approaching delirium by open
ing 1t and waving bundle of crisp
bank notes over his head. Next he
plunged a fist in, and bringing up a
handful of gold, he let the yellow
discs slide back again-a cascade of
shining coins-into the bag, which he
closed with snap and replaced upon
the table. Then Number Two gave the
signal, and in another instant I had
done my part and turned off the lights.
A friend who was present told me
afterwards that the scene inside-if a
scene it can be called when there was
no light by which to see-was inde-
scribable. He said he could liken it
to "hell on a busy night-with the
fire out"
Almost Immediately afterwards the
lights were turned on-by whom l do
not know-and my friend, who is
economical of speech, described the
scene then presented as ''hell on a
busy night-with the fire on" Worse
was to follow. Number Two, white
with passion or with face powder,
cannot say which, was seen to leap
upon the table, with one hand pointing
to the door, and with the other hol-
lowed round his mouth so as to form
sort of speaking-trumpet.
"Shut the door," he thundered.
THE money! the money! It's gone!
Let no one out! The thief must still
be in the room!"
My friend, who is a traveller and a.
hunter of big game" says never to
the end of his life shall he forget the
terrible fury of the trumpeted cry of a
wild COW elephant when she turned
upon her pursuers from the dead body
OF her bull calf, which they had slain.
But he assures me that the cry of g.
thousand wild animals of the wood
could not equal in fury the yell that
went up from these wilder animals Of
the slum and the city when they heard
that the money was gone.
How he extricated himself from that
seething mass OF human beings, fight
ing like wildcats one with the other,
he does not know. But he tells me
that within two minutes from the an
nouncement of the robbery there was
scarcely a man, either among the
speakers or among the audience, who
had coat on his back or whole
skin to his body.

Recipe for Grating Wax.

( will give a formula for wax which
have used for years in grating and
find it satisfactory: Rosin, six pounds;
beeswax, one pound; linseed oil. one
pint Put rosin in iron vessel and when
melted add beeswax. Bring nearly to
boil, then add the oil, stir we'll to mix.
While cooling pour out in vessels and
cake same as you would maple sugar.
What is not wanted Immediately can be
laid by for future use. To soften the
wax use tepid water. When soft pull
same as taffy. If weather is cool when
used keep wax in warm or tepid water.
This wax will not crack in the coldest
weather and the hot days of summer
will not make it run.-P. W. Snoke, in

SOME ROAD-MAKiNG HINTS
While National Agitation Is Going On
Some Practical Work Might
Well Be Done at Home.

The air is full of talk about good
roads. 1t is good roads, good roads, -
everywhere you go. But isn't it about
time something practical was coming to
! pass? All talk with no results amounts
to nothing, so let us get down to the
root of the matter. How are we really
! to have good roads? Well, l have seen
many plans tested, but this is the best of
all: Make good, deep bitches on each
side of the road to carry off all water
In digging the bitches, throw all dirt
into the road and add enough from 9TH
! er sources to elevate the roadbed to a
good height above the ditches The
roadbed should be Is feet wide and
! should be highest in the center and
j sloping slightly each way so as to drain
all water into the bitches. Cut down
the hill and fill up the hollows. Az a
railroad company had rather pull train
four miles over level road than half
mile up steep grade so it is a vast deal
better to observe this rule for wagon
roads. And now to make the roads l4er-
manently good gravel them good. Net
ter macadamize them if at all practical.
But at least gravel, and that with thor
oughly good gravel. If parts need til
ing be sure to tile them and do This
properly. Let every hours work be
we'll done There is vastly more truth
than poetry in the old adage that what
| is worth doing at all is worth doing
WELL" Fill up all small ruts when they
first appear. 1t is much easier done then
than when foot deep. Besides, it might
save wagon or buggy wheel from
being broken or a horse from being
crippled. 1t might even save a human
beings limb or even his life.-T. E.

Dust Spray or LIQUID Sprav


The contest is still on between the
dust spray and the liquid spray. In
Illinois and other states to the east
and north the dust spray has made
little advance, but has obtained
good share of the attention of the
orchardists in Missouri and west. The
men that stick to the liquid spray say
that with the liquid it is possible to
get uniform spraying material, but
that there is no possible way of get
ting the poisonous substances equally
distributed through dust. We will
have to wait a little and see how this
problem is to be settled by the dust
sprayers. The men in favor of the
dust spray say that they can take ad-
vantage of the dew on the trees in
the morning. and this saves the haul
ing of a great amount of water over
the ground, especially after rains, when
the ground is 700 soft to be driven on.
