A SALAD AND A PICNIC.
Water cress Plain and in Salad
Pertinent Points on Picnic
Refreshments.

A subscriber asks how to serve wa
tercress plain and in combination
salad. If plain, wash we'll and chill;
sprinkle with olive oil AMI vinegar
and season with salt and pepper to
taste. Combined with nuts, crosses
are delicious; wash and arrange in Z
circle on plate; inside have peeled
and sliced English walnuts. and serve
with a mayonnaise; celery with this
is very nice.
Macedoine means mixture, so a
salad prepared of a variety of cold.
cooked vegetables, dressed with oil and
vinegar. is macedoine. String beans.
asparagus tips, lima beans, beets, car
rots, potatoes. may all be used in such
a snlad.
AS picnic days will soon be here, |
give'some suggestions for the baskets.
II is mistake to carry a great mix
turc for the picnic luncheon; it is
true everybody is hungry; but some
otherwise perfectly delicious things to
eat are entirely out of place on these
occasions. Strawberries, for example,
arc better omitted; layer cake, jellies
that are not perfectly firm, sirups anc
pies and custards; just as good things
are to be much more easily carried
without disastrous results.
All sorts of sandwiches may be pre-
pared the night before and wrapped
In damp napkins; roast chicken
makes fine eating, and should be dis
jointed for convenience, as should the
fried, also; cold meats sliced, olives
In sealed bottles, pickles and butter
in jelly glasses with tight-fittinc
covers. radishes in tin pail with ics
around them, lemons, uncut, milk in
corked bottles, also in pals, with ice:
whole tomatoes in ice, bottles of cold
tea, etc. Small biscuit broken open
and buttered while hot taste good: but
tered bread sandwiches, plain, are usu-
ally favored, as others are apt to Gre
ate too much thirst. Claret or any
sour wine is good with cracked ice. and
90 are the pleasant root beer and gin
ger ales.
Provide the paper napkins by the
gross; they cost almost nothing, can
be thrown away. and answer many
purposes. Salt and pepper shakers are
the best. and mayonnaise should be
in giass.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.

Soap and wood ashes is excellent for
cleaning zinc tubs and pals.
Mud stains can be removed from silk
If the spots are rubbed with a bit of
flannel or, If stubborn, with a piece of
linen wet with alcohol.
The scrubbing brush must always
be moved up and down the boards ac-
cording to the grain of the wood. not
across. Care must also be taken not
10 leave a mark when changing from
one part to the other.
The inartistic gold and silver radia-
tors bid fair to become thing Of the
past, as radiators are now being
painted to match the room-that is,
white if the paint is white and the
natural color if the woodwork is un-
painted.
To keep bread in good condition try
lining the breadbox with paper, creas-
ing it SO as to fit we'll in the corners.
The bread will stay fresh much longer
and will not mold so readily. The
paper should be renewed several
times a week.
To prevent cake from sticking to
tins when baked, grease the tins, then
dust them with flour. Lightly beat out
the loose flour. leaving only what
sticks to the grease. This does away
with the old-fashioned method of lin
ing the pans with creased paper.
Did you ever see dainty little
cheesecloth baby quilt all humpy after
one or two washings? If instead of
cotton batting two or three layers of a
soft old blanket are used and tackled
as usual this will not happen. If it's
the first baby and everything in the
house is brand new" surely some old
er housekeeper friend viii be glad to
give you one of her nearly worn-out
blankets.
When laundering lace curtains If a
creamy shade is desired add clear,
strong coffee to the starch.
Handkerchiefs and towels can be
bleached by washing in tn, usual man
ner and then letting then, stand over
night in solution of ore-half tea
spoonful of cream of tartar to each
quart of water used.
This is an excellent furaiture polish
where bright surface Is desired
Half pint of alcohol, half an ounce
each of rosin and shella- powdered.
Mix these with the alcohol, then. add
half pint of linseed oil. Shake thor
oughly before using.
Lettuce can be kept growing all
summer, from the early varieties
started in boxes in the house, to en-
dive, the lettuce of autumn. which may
be sown from June to August. Endive
is tender as young plant, but bravely
withstands the early frosts.
For washing challies rice water is
the best. Boil one pound OF rice in i've
quarts of water. When cool put the
challies in with rice and rice water
and wash well. using the rice much as
you would soap. If no rins'ng is used
the rice will have good effect on the
fabric.-Chicago Daily News.

FIRST OF EAaTH's ARCHITECTS.
Principles Laid Down by Greece Not
Improved Upon.

Our architecture came in the FIRST
place from Greece. Egypt, Assyria,
Persia, India and the lar east have
had but slight influence upon it, COM
pared with that welded by the small,
arid, mountainous country, where,
nearly 5000 years ago. men made in
the domains of art and thought in
vestigations and experiments which
are of immediate and direct value to
us even to-day, says the Philadelphia
Record. One cannot reflect upon this
without a feeling of astonishment. 1t
shows us the closeness of our connec-
tion with the people of distant ages,
the community that exists, in spite of
seeming differences among the human
species on our planet.
A well-conducted experiment per-
formed at one spot on the earth and
in one hour of time can be OF use to
the whole world and through all ages.
The Greeks of the fifth and sixth cen
turtles B. c. made such an expert
ment as this when they thought of a
certain form of temple with columns
and laid down certain rules for its
construction. And we of the twen-
tieth century turn to the subtle-mind-
ed Greeks of 2,400 years ago, when
we have to deal with a problem in
architecture and want to know how
to solve it with elegance and preci-
sion.

Hitherto the eyes of the great null

ed the place of execution. had been
turned inward. But now with one ac-
cord they were gazing, not on the ter
rible preparations which were so near

green tree-studded ALA meads toward
a group OF horsemen who were ap-

Peter the lank giant, was in greater

Through this living alley came
knight and lady-the latter in riding

head to foot, a dozen squires and men

cloud, and as they came they were
greeted with the enthusiastic acclaim

And as soon as the caIvacade had

cries began again. Swords and bare
fists were shaken at the grand stand,
where white as death Prince Louis
still kept his place.
About the center platform whereon
ahe living cross was extended the
crush first grew oppressive and then
dangerous.
Back there-you are killing him!
Back, say!"
Then strong men took slaves and
Ihalberts, and by force of brawny arms
and sharp pricking steel pressed the
people back breast high The smiths
who had riveted the wristlets and
