One Of the incest ways to cook q
young fowl is this: Cut 1t In pieces
and dip each one in an egg beaten with
tablespoon of water, then roll in fine
bread or cracker crumbs, seasoning
well with salt and pepper. II parsley
or celery are liked, a little Of eithor
sprinkled over the pieces viii give a
fine flavor. The dried leaves finely
powdered will be found the best way
to use it for this purpose. Butter
q baking pan well, and place the pieces
of chicken in It. Put piece of but
ter on each and pour half cup of
water in the pan. Bake slowly in q
moderate oven, basting often. unless
q covered dish is used, in which case
the coyer should be removed for. the
last half hour. When cooked tender,
remove the chicken from the pan, and
pour in a cup of cream or thickened
milk, and thicken with one-half cup
fine bread crumbs. Let it just come 10
a boil. then pour over the chicken and
serve at once.

apparatus is a bother. He can make

the leisure he wants, can go where he
likes and stay as long as he will. He
has the better of us there. We have
the better of him in having the daily
excitement and discipline Of making q

of making q living-full of chances
and hazards, hopes. surprises, thrills,
disappointments and satisfactiona
Our million-a-year friend misses that
We may beat him in discipline. too.
We are apt to get more than he does
the salutary discipline of steady
work, of self-denial, of effort That is
enormously valuable to soul, body and

FOOD FOR THE DysPEPTIc.
Throw Away the Array Of Medicines
and Have Housslfssper Study Ne
dieinal Qualities Of Foods.

Is 1t not surprising, when we see
20 many around us hopeless dyspep
tics, that it does not occur to them tc
study for themselves the causes OF
their troubles and the curative effects
of carefully and intelligently cooked
food?
Such persons usually live in an en-
vironment of bottles and pill boxes
which too often form the principal or
naments ON the mantlepiece. There
they stand staring them in the face, q
constant reminder Of their wretched
condition, causing them to look at the
world through jaundiced eyes. Some
how for them the world goes backward
Or as has been fifty said: Whatever
is, is wrong" Why we do not study
more the value of foods and their
medicinal qualities. The many ills
that flesh is heir to vanish before well
regulated diet, and strict punctuality
In the matter of having meals served.
Fresh air and exercise are the two
most valuable tonics, and can be had
for less than doctors prescription.
These stimulate the appetite and are
best taken in the morning
Rheumatism is now largely treated
by simply drinking water, not ice
water, filtered carefully and boiled ten
minutes by the clock. Meat contains
four essential elements-muscular
fiber. albumen, fat and juice. The
cooking of it facilitates the action Of
the digestive fluids and we are told
''the savors developed in this process
have a decidedly favorable influence
on the secretion of the gastric juice
which corrects the hurtful qualities ex-
listing in its raw state"
Avoid fat as It is indigestible, for
the reason that the gastric juices, such
an important factor in our daily lives,
has no action in it. This is the rea-
son fried foods are so unwholesome.
The fat acts as varnish and prevents
the gastric juices from performing
their mission.
In roasting, let the meat be put be-
fore a hot fire for few moments and
then draw it, back a little. This hard
ems the outside sufficiently to prevent
the escape of the juices so necessary
to our health. In broiling steak II
is best to have the edges come be-
yond the gridiron. In this way, being
exposed to the fire they become equally
cooked.-EliZabeth Pyewell.

FOR THE HOME DOCTOR.
Mistake to Pull Clothes Over Chill
dren's Faces-List of Many Ways
to Stop Hiccoughing.

Bad ventilation deforms most chill
dren and destroys more health than &C.
cident or plague. There Is reason to
believe that not few of the scrofu-
lous diseases common among children
proceed from the ignorant habit Of
being put to sleep in beds and peram-
bulators with the head under the bed
clothing, and so inhale air already
breathed and further contaminated by
exhalation from the skin. Madam"
said doctor to woman, you are
Bmothering the life out of your child,s
lungs. How would you like to drink
the water you wash in? Well. when
you cover the baby's head up you force
him to use air that is Just rs bad and
just as impure"
Cure Of Hiccough.- usually
attacks persons of nervous tempera-
ment. and young children who have
overloaded the stomach; 1t may
also be induced by eating foods which
have been too highly seasoned. A va
riety Of means have been suggested
to stop hiccoughs, among the most
efficacious being the following: 1t Is
recommended to distract the attention
of the persons who are seized with
the paroxysm; they are advised to
count the flies on the ceiling, etc.;
sometimes an attempt is made to
brighten or surprise them, and II this
is successful the hiccough is stopped.
Another of the means adopted is to
hold the breath, either by counting up
to 80, or by repeating loudly and with
volubility the same sentence; or, what
Is much better, in drinking q glass
Of cold water in little sips, at the same
time pinchlng the nostrils. A good
thing is to provoke sneezing fit,
either by tickling the inside of the
nose or by the aid of snuff; II q
sneeze If induced, the hiccough is at
once arrested. The most useful remedy
to employ, and perhaps the most inor-
fensive and the best. consists In suck
ing piece of sugar which has pre-
viously been STEPPED in vinegar, or
drinking spoonful of good vinegar in
which some sugar has been dissolved.
II this IS not at once successful, sec.
ond spoonful is certain to be so.-

William Marion, deputy assistant
treasurer of the United States, stationed
In New York, thought he had joke on
stranger the other day, but later
found 1t was on him. The stranger ap-
peared In the subtreasury and asked for
a new 1905 silver dollar. I'VE have not
one in the subtreasury," said Mr.. Mar.
lor. "As a matter of fact, there is none
in the treasury at Washington. am
willing to pay $1,000 for one myself"
We'll, don't want one that badly" said
the stranger with a smile as he went
away. Within short time the tele-
phone began to ring, and for the rest of
the afternoon Mr.. Marion was kept busy
by persons who wanted to know why a
1905 dollar was so valuable. After the
day was over he said: Il will never
JOKE with a stranger again. Why, have
heard from that $1,000 offer from all
over the city. AS matter of fact, there
were no silver dollars coined in 1905"

The Curse of Riches.

The Curse of Riches.
+, The very rich are by no means the
healthiest members Of the community,
and to escape the perils of luxurious
living requires unusual will power and
prudence. Great capital at the dis
posai OF q single individual confers on
us possessor great power over the
course Of Industrial development
o7er his fellow-men, and sometimes
over the course Of great public events

dress, In the satisfaction of directing
such power, and the greater the
character the greater may be the sat
isfaction. In giving this direction the
great capitalist may find an enjoyable
and strenuous occupation. For con.
scientious, dutiful man a great sense
OF responsibility accompanies this
power. 1t may become SO powerful
as to wipe out the enjoyment itself.
There are no more successful business
enterprises than are those conducted
by remarkably intelligent autocrats.
and probably the same would be true
of povorur,o 40 ory v,o5o hod hoau
invented of discovering and putting
into place desirable autocrats. The
prevailing modes of selection, such as
heredity and transmission, have been
SO very unsuccessful that autocracy
as a mode of government has fallen
into disrepute. In business enter
prises the existing modes Of discovery
and selection Of autocrats seem to do
better than In the government, for au-
tocracy in business has been justified
10y results. The most serious disad-
vantage under which the very rich
have labored is the bringing up Of
children. 1t is well-nigh impossible
for very rich man to develop his
children from habits of indifference
and laziness. These children are so
situated that they have no opportuni-
ty Of doing productive labor, and do
nothing for themselves, parents, broth
ers or sisters, no one acquiring the
habit of work. In striking contrast
are the farmers children, who coop
crate at tender years in the work of
the household.
