COOKING BY STEAM

Nearly all mixtures capable of be
fng boiled can be steamed, bus they
Will take nearly as long again 10 cook
Steaming, though much slower
method than boiling, renders food
lighter, and therefore more digestible
If steamer is used, all that is need
ed is TO fiji the lower division with
water, place the perforated upper YES
sci over this, and. when the water
beneath boils, put the pudding in the
upper part, fixing on the lid tightly.
Ii there is no steamer use an ordi-
nary saucepan large enough to easily
hold the basin Have in the sauce
pan enough boiling water to come
just half way up the basin, which
in this case, stands right in the
water. A sensible suggestion is
to tie some string round the
baSia so that ii forms two long
loops on either side, thus providing
handles with which 10 raise the basin

A Warrior and His Book.

Real book lovers are likely to own
few books that they especially
treasure. If these be bound wOrthily
in handsome leather, it is not being
too fussy to make little chamOis
case or light box for each one to pro
tect it from the chance knocks and
scratches that mar the beauty of the
leather. 1t is true that the best bind
ing is one that, like the old white
vellum, is durable, cleanable, attrac-
tive and serviceable; but not all
bindings can be left unprotected, and
If Alexander the Great believed moth

a Smart Bow,

On property where the rabbit shoot
southern coast of England, a boy was
caught with two dead rabbits in his

account for their deccase. A search
OF his pockets revealed nothing but

dropped a little grease upon the
crabs back, and stuck the lighted can

an unoccUpied opening

Ancestry Of the American Eaqle.

The characteristic head and beak,
the cleaning eyes and fierce 1alons OF
the eagle, make it fayoritc secular
emblem, and III its passage from land
to land a parallel To the migration OF
symbols is forcibly suggested. With
offerings OF Peace and War, it dOmi-
mates the arms of the United States
Of America, and is Il forcctul adjunct
to the escutchcons of several English
men. 1t first appeared in the dual
headed form on the Phrygian coins,
and later in Asia Minor From thence
it travelled to Flanders and also re-
placed the single-headed emblem of the
Holy Roman Empire. The Austrians
borrowed it, and since the time OF
Ivan III. it has been the cognizance OF
Russia. -Chautauquan.

TO CLEAN RUGS AND CARPETS

Perhaps no task is more difficult
for the average housekeeper than car
ing for floor coverings Since the
germ theory Is an acknowledged part
Of every day education, a floor COW
cred with sOiled carpet is regarded
as very unsanitary.
A rug carpet much used needs
cleaning every week: a carpet that
is only slightly soiled can be cleaned
and freshened by just sweeping thor
oughly. then going over it with a
cloth wrung frequently out of clean
water, to which has been added a 1T
tie ammonia. Go over the carpet
width by width with this water, then
dry quickly with soft absorbent
cloths in order that the moisture may
not penetrate.

then swept each width thoroughly.
hung them over the line. beating them
with timber switch to remove the
dust. The widths were later put in
good suds and run through good
washing machine, taking care, how
ever, that all spots were removed be-
fore the carpet was wet.
A Brussels, sCi.ed bit not worn,
was first swept and busted. then
tackled to a clean floor and scrubbed
with a strong lather of ivory soap
and warm soft water: small por-
ton was cleaned at a time with a
soft brush. then rinsed with clean
water and wiped dry with clean soft
cloths.
This is the most satisfactory meth
Cd Of cleaning a soiled carpet or
rug: if much spotted it is hard to
remove them without leaving marks:
the washing gets rid Of the dust, and
leaves the colors bright if the clean
ing is carefully done. If one must
eccnomize. it is We'll to know how
to add a few years to the life of a
nice carpet Or rug.-The Bee Hive.

The WRONG Word.

Bessie came in from school and sat
down before her mother There was
solemn expression on her face.
Her mother looked down at her with
smile, waiting for her to speak.
is it right to tell things that you
have heard at school?" she asked,
somewhat timidy.
Not unless it can do some one
good, and would not be telling anoth-
er's secret said her mother, quietly.
"Oh, this will do good, and it Is
about some one in our family, so it is
our secret"
About Bobbie, isn't it," asked her
mother, for mothers hearts tell them
more than their ears sometimes.
Yes. The girls-the little girls
down in Boobies room-say that
sometimes he does not know any,
thing" declared Bessie, whose eyes
were wide with her news. The last
word had come out with strong en-
phasis
why, think he must have learned
something said her mother, smiling.
They say the teacher has a dread
full time with him, and makes him say
the things over after her, and some
times he seems to know them, and
the very next day he doesn't"
Il will see when he comes in what
it is all about" said mother
Presently Bobbie came in from
school, He had stayed again after
the others, and his eyes were red
from crying

cr. Il want to ask you about your
school. Can't YOU learn your lessons?'
Il always know my lessons, but the
teacher says l don't"

er. Read this for me-"
Bobbie read the little paragraph.
He made no mistake, and his mother
asked him to spell the words This
he did perfectly.
She looked inquiringly at Bessie,
who sat proudly by. 1T wasn't true"
Bessie whispered
why does your teacher say that
YOU do not know your lesson?" asked
his mother
Just because ! don't know what a

Boobies lip was Guivering and his
eyes were filling with tears Every
time She asks me to give her a nam

Mother took Bobbie up in her lap,
and when she saw that Bessie was go
ing to laugh, she sent her to look down
the street for the pOstman, and then
she said to Bobbie: Il see that you
do know your lesson just as nice as
can be, but you have not known what

"Oh, she asks me the lesson and

wonder. why, tomorrow when she
asks me l will tell her all the num-

Chinese Good-Luck Lilies.

A pretty feature of the Chinese
New Year is the prevalence of the
gOOd-luck lilies which are to be found
blooming in every window in the quar-
ter The bulbs of the lily peculiar to
this holiday are imported in immense
quantities; for every family. and. for
that matter. every single Chinaman
as well, buys at least three or four
and many are also sold to Americans
who know about them. The culture
of these plants is most simple. The
bulbs being placed In a dish of clear
water with a few pebbles, but no earth
around their roots, spring up almost
like magic, and in few weeks are in
full bloom with wealth of waxen
flowers. The leaves and plant resem-
Bile a young onion, and the flowers,
which are creamy white with yellow
centres, shed a singularly insidious
perfume The Chinese are intensely
superstitious regarding the growth of
these lilies: and, when they fail to
grow and bloom as they should, they
are supposed to forebode evil Their
successful towering insures the best
of luck for the coming year.-Leslies

DON'T FORGET THE KITCHEN

Hang at Yeast one picture in your
kitchen in such place that it will
meet your eye d score of times daily.
Let 1t be a landscape or figure, or
picture that tells story only
be sure that it is not a scene that
reprOdlccS something of the daily
routine. II practicable, change the
picture for another cnce a week or
month. Good prints Of the best pic
lures can be had Take a look at the
picture often, seeing what it means,
or, rather. realizing each time what
1t says to you personally.
This will break up the monotony
which is the deadliest thing about
Homework and some other Occupa-
tons, and will help to prevent the
formation Of The fixed idea" which
is the seed OF most mental and emo
tional troubles. Just try this for a
month. You will find this suggestion
one to be thankful for-always bear
ing in mind that the point of the
idea lies in the application CT it."

"Crackine" Of the Caribous Hoof.

But the most singular of the sounds
made by the caribou is the cracking
of the hoof At each step each foot
gives out a loud, sharp crack
Persons who have never heard it
in life have no difficulty in explaining
it, "Of course the hoofs spread when
they bear the weight of the animal"
they say, land when lifted the hard
surfaces spring together with a crack"
But a close observation shows that
the crack is made by some mechanism
in the foot and it goes Off" while the
weight is on it.
1t is not always one sharp crack,
but sometimes crackle like several
sounds close together. Many examina-
lions showed that just as the foot
is relieved of the animals weight.
but before any part is off of the ground
the crack takes place. The hoofs do
not strike together during the stride,
and the crackle is not heard until
the foot is placed and the weight is
on it. Thus it usually crackles twice
at the place of each track, always once
as the weight is coming on, usually a
second time as it is going off. | walked
