Fruit and Cheese Together.

It is said that a little cheese at the
end of a dinner acts as digestive
agent, but whether or not this is true,
no well-appointed dinner is without it..
In many homes bit of cheese with
an accompanying fruit or jelly, is used
as dessert instead of some pudding
or pie. It is just a sufficient finish to
a family dinner without dessert. If
there is a dessert, the cheese is fire,
quently served with the salad, rogue
fort cheese with lettuce or tomatoes.
Connoisseurs do not cut roquefort
cheese until it is well advanced in de-
cay and therefore it is not we'll to set

leave it out altogether and give him

The Ute "Uprtslnu,"

Persons familiar with real Indian
uprisings have been amused at the
amount of attention attracted to the
recent attempted migration of 800
Ctes from their reservation in Utah
to more fertile land in Wyoming It
could hardly be called an uprising in
the old sense, says Youths Compan-
ion. The Indians had no warlike pur-
pose. They were simply seeking a
place of residence where it will be
possible to get food. 1t is Is years
since there has been anything which
can properly be called an uprising,
and that eliminated in the fight at

Their back troops were called out at
the time of the massacre of the Meek
,er family by the White river Utes in
1879, and the Sioux and Cheyennes
were so troublesome in 1876 that they
had to be attacked in the campaign
which resulted in the Custer massa-
ere. These were grave disturbances;
but so many of the Indians now speak
English, wear civilized clothing and
cultivate the land, that the red man
who has any disposition to take to
the war-path has practically disap-
peared.

DESSERT FOR THE LUNCHEON.
New Way In Which Apples Can Be-
Cooked and Served.

A change in luncheon dessert may
be made by cooking apples in this way
and using them on occasion: Allow
to every pound of peeled and cored
fruit three-fourths of pound of
sugar, the rind of one lemon and the
juice of half lemon. Put the apples
into stone jar in a pan of boiling
water, and boil until the apples are
tender. Then put them into the pre-
serving pan with the sugar, lemon
juice and the rinds grated. Let these
simmer gently for half an hour, re-
move the scum, and put into jars,
covering when cold.
Good Housekeeping says: Oysters
seldom are Dreaded and fried at home
successfully. The mistake which most
cooks make is to encase them in egg
and bread crumbs. This rarely is a
success. The coating comes off, CIV
ing to the oysters piebald appear
ance, and they usually are overlooked
in the attempt to brown them evenly.
Select sound oysters viii Oh have just
been opened. Flatten each slightly and
lay them in fresh milk. Prepare a
mixture of equal parts of flour and
s1fted cracker crumbs. Oyster or rich
butter crackers are good for this pur-
pose. Let the fat be very hot. Drain
the oysters one by one and dip them
in the cracker mixture. Lay them in
a wire basket and fry in deep hot fat
two or three minutes. Drain on brown
paper. Garnish with parsley and
lemon.

Fashions In Women.


There are fashions not only in WON.
ems clothes but in women themselves.
A certain style of woman becomes
the vogue. Lydia Languish reads SEN
timental novels, dissolves In tears at
a moments notice, and finds elope-
menr necessary spice for marriage.
A century later Lydia's clinging type
goes out-with "leg-o'-mutton sleeves,
and the athletic girl takes the cen
ter of the stage, with her short skirt,
her long stride and her loud voice
The dominant note of the early TWEEN"
tieth century woman is her ability to
be interesting. Be she plain or beau
tiful, blonde, "strawberry" or bru-
nette, she must be pleasant. To listen
well is not enough; she must. have
which should be kind as we'll. The
dull, the quiet, the simpering are out
of fashion, and even the athletic girl
must look to her laurels, lest the en-
PERTAINING one prove her successful
rival with the exacting sex. One mod
ern freak of the mode deserves soon
to pass away, remarks the Youth
Companion. The mod ern woman re-
fuses to grow old. At first sight that
seems a worthy ambition. But with
the Punishment of caps and shoulder
capes something of the gentleness,
grace and wisdom of old age has also
been lost. In place of those lovely &C
compartments of advanced years we
find other things which make their
bearer a nondescript travesty of
youth, whose hat, complexion and
conduct are as gay as they are unbe-
coming. Somebody once said that
the finest thing God ever made was
a beautiful old woman. 1t behooves
US not to let her dignity and calm,
her poise, sagacity and charm go out
Of fashion.

SECRET OF GOOD COFFEE.
Best ingredients and Proper Making
.:s;s5s. s. Are N Necessary. & B s 81 5E

The secret of good coffee. lies III,
having. the best ingredients and in:
the proper making, says. a writer IN
the New York " ord. BY the best in
gradients are meant those delightful
coffees grown on well-watered noun,
tain slopes, such as the famous Java;
and Mocha coffees, the Mocha and:
Java mixed half and half. It is best
to parch the coffee grains just before
making the coffee, but if this is not
convenient the coffee can be bought
parched in the grain, but never
ground. It should be ground imme@
,diately before using, in order to pre-
serve the delicious flavor.
Good coffee should never be boiled:
Bear this in mind. The good Creole
cook never boils coffee, but insists on
dripping 1t in a covered strainer, SLOW
ly, slowly, drip, drip, drip, till all the
flavor Is extracted. The water must
be freshly boiled, and must never be
poured upon the grounds until it has
reached the boiling point.
It Is of the greatest importance that
the cohfee-pot be kept perfectly clean.
This point is only too often over
looked, and yet the coffee-pot re-
quires more than ordinary care. for
the reason that the chemical action of
the coffee upon the tin or agate tends
to create substance which collects
and clings to every crevice; and seam,
and, naturally, in the course of time
will affect the flavor Of the coffee.
Very often the fact that the coffee
tastes bitter or muddy arises from
this.
