Hint. for Stout Folk.

Marie-When a woman is hungry al the
time and is constantly increasing in weight
il should be self-evident that she is eating
too heavily. Begin at once TO rigidly en-
force self-control if you hope to keep within
bounds as to size. Very healthy persons
whose digestion is perfect undoubtedly feel
hunger acutely and are inclined TO eat
more than is wise or needful, with the idea
in mind that they need it or because it
tastes so good. Such people lose sight OF
the fact that a morbid appetite for food
can be created and increased by overin-
diligence just is the case with liquor.

is about as effective as feeding a fire with
a generous hand then trying 10 exunguish
the increasing blaze with a puny stream

in reducing flesh. By all means take the
exercise, but curb your appetite. Decide
upon a common-sense basis as to quality
and quantity, selecting the diet with due
regard 10 its value TO the system. avoid
ing sweets fats and starchy foods. BY
beginning at the root of the evil, the danger
of obesity may be averted. II is suggested

waists there is no novelty about the ways
of suggesting it, In some shirtwaists of the
fancy order there is a yoke, usually reach
ing over the round of the shoulder, but
there is nothing strikingly new about this
and simpler cut is more favored. The num-
Der and variety of fabrics offered for waists
and suits is as large as ii was last sea-

available, and the lack of new features

straining effort after novelty in the ma

stitch in colors.

In fact, the jackets themselves are usu-

Odds and Ends.

Wine or ffavoring extracts should not be
added TO dish or sauce until cold. If put
in while hot much of the flavor passes off
in steam.
When frying cold potatoes first slice them
and dredge quickly with flour This causes
them to brown quickly and also improves
their flavor.
If an egg is broken and not required at
once for use. stand il in a basin with a lit
tie cold water over it, and it will keep fresh
until wanted for use
Put a metal spoon or fork in a glass or
china dish before pouring hot water into
it, The metal conducts the heat away, and
the dish will not crack so readily.
After drinking tea, coffee, or
anything which has scalded the tongue,
hold some milk in the mouth for a minute
or two. when the unpleasant feeling will
have entirely disappeared.
The best way to prepare canned salmon
for the table is to remove all the bones and
place the fish in a stewpan, adding a pint
of milk and allowing il to come TO boil.
Add a piece of butter the size of half an
egg and salt TO taste. Then roll two or
three soda crackers TO a fine powder and
add just before taking the salmon the

Art of Cake Making.
Good Housekeeping.

Good Housekeeping.
The ingredients. which. TO produce fine
cake, must be as good as the market will
provide and the purse allow. 1t is impos-
sible to make nice cake when poor cook
ing butter and stale eggs are used, the
strongest vanilla extract will not down such
fiavors. Besides good butter and eggs have
pastry flour, first-class baking powder,
good granulated sugar and f1avoring that
stands at the head of its class. If inferior
baking powder is used, your cake will
either be full of holes or heavy; as for poor
extracts, they either evaporate altogether
or your cake has a queer, unwholesome
flavor, which stays in the mouth after it
is eaten. If you cannot afford good mate
rails for cake. substitute wholesome gin

phasize some of the other secrets of good
cake. One of them is an oven of proper
temperature. l am now using a gas range

always in the lower shelf. If you could
watch cake baking you would see the tiny
bubbles that have been obtained by beat
ing the eggs and the cake mixture, also the
gas liberated by the wetting of the baking
powder, grow larger and larger. AS they
expand by the thousand they are gradually,

comes a moment when they have expanded
far as ii is possible, then the cake ought
to begin TO crust and brown. At this point
the heat penetrating the mixture begins to
transform the bubbling batter into the
feathery substance call cake. The last
portion to bake is in the center, because
there has been greater heat around the
sides of the pan. Whether cake is well
baked, you may tell by pricking il with a
toothpick in the center. If it comes out
dry the cake is baked. if II is the least bit
sticky il requires longer baking. An excel
lent rule TO follow while baking cake in a
gas stove is to run two burners till il is
fully raised, then turn out one and allow
1t TO finish baking slowly with one burner.

Taxing My Heart.

In that heart realm where Cupid reigns,
My heart remained rebel province long;
And vowed to keep its selfish gains
OF love. and happiness and song;
Never TO pay love revenues
Whence Cupid's governance accrues.
There came queenly messenger
Who would extort the dues my proud heart
owed.
Could il refuse to welcome her
Who promise of such gentle ruling showed?
She passed unhindered thro' the gate
Demanding tribute from that state.
My heart made her tyrant there.
And paid her all its store Of boarded love.
But o. felt richer then. by far.
Than aught but angel-trodden realms above
But should she leave. that state would fall
For she has all. . she has all.

The True King.

Translated from Seneca by Leigh Hunt)
'Tis not wealth that makes king.
Nor the purple cOlOrlng;

Nor gate on mighty hinges rolled
The King Is he. who. void Of fear.
Looks abroad with bosom clear.
Who can tread ambition down.
Nor DE swayed by smile or frown,
Nor FOR all the treasure carts.
That mine conceals or harvest wears.
or that golden sands deliver,
BosOmed IN a CLASSY river.
What shall move his placid might
Not the headlOng thunder-light.
Nor all the shapes Of slaughter's trade,
With onward lance fiery blade
safe. with wisdom for his crown.
He looks on all things calmly down.
He welcomes fate. when fate IA near
Nor taints his dying breath with fear.
No, 10 fear not earthly thing.
This Il Is that makes the King;
and all Of US. whOe'er We be.
Nay carve Us out that royalty.
