continue the cooking until the starch
is partly dextrinized, and a gummy,
sticky potato is the result The un-
scientific cook is likely to endeavor
to hasten the process of cooking by
adding more fuel and keeping the
water boiling at rapid pace during
and the rapid motion Of the water
often causes the vegetable to cook UP
into small pieces, which, in many
cases, is very undesirable.
The overlooking of vegetables
changes and toughens the texture of
vegetable foods and destroys the
chforophyll and other coloring ma
terials, as we'll as volatil1zes and in
jures the bodies which contribute to
the flavor. Overlooked vegetables
are not so pleasing in appearance and
flavor and are often indigestibTe and
unpalatable.
Cabbage contains comparatively
large proportion of sulphur, and if i'm
properly cooked, is very indigestible;
while if it is properly cooked, it is
easily digested by most people and
is very palatable. 1t is one of our
most useful vegetables, as it is availa
bic during the autumn, winter and
spring months, when other vegetables
are scarce and high in price. The
simplest and easiest ways of cooking
vegetables are the best. Cabbage or
caulifower which has been overlook
ed is more or less yellow in color,
and has a strong undesirable flavor,
while that cooked properly is more
OF the natural color and has delicate
and pleasing flavor.
Vegetables which naturally have a
strong flavor, such as cabbage, tur-
nips, onions, parsnips, ETC., should be
cooked in a large quantity Of water,
while the more delicate favored ones
need less water in the process. Veg
etables should be placed in boiling
water when the cooking is started.
The potato, which is Our most COM
mon vegetable, is most nutritious
when cooked with the skins on, be-
cause just under the skin is found the
potash salts which are so beneficial
to the body, and unless the peeling
which is removed is very thin, this
valuable part of the vegetable is vast

THE HOUSEHOLD.
of interest
Courtesy or Oficiousness?
Ed. Household Dept.

Ed. Household Dept
In a recent Agriculturist I see a
couple of items clipped from other
papers. | am about to take exception
to them. The first under Small
Courtesies" contains the most pernic-
ious advice. The writer speaks of
hurrying to a train laden with bum
dies, when a young man stopped her,
took the bundles from her, and carried
them to the train for her. Farm pa
pers are read by country people as a
rule. Country people reading this ar
tlcle might suppose that when in the
CITY, laden with bundles such help
was to be commended. Let me say,
that not once in a thousand times
would such an act be one of courtesy,
the other times it would be "skln
game" to get woman's luggage and
make off with it in a crowd. Be
sides a young man of twenty with
nothing else to do but stand on a
street corner and offer strange Wo-
men assistance was probably an idle
loafer, much better for him to have
less courtesy" and more energy to
be at work.
In the same article a young girl is
commended for giving her seat to
the writer and afterwards assisting
her off the car although the writer
says she was in no need of help.
Giving up her seat was courtesy, but
assisting some one who did not need
it off the car, was officiousness. There
isn't any attribute in character more
tiresome, nor which makes a person
more disliked than oflciousness. 1t
isn't courtesy, it is impertinence. The
truly courteous person knows when
to cease his efforts to help another.
Many people who are oficious aim to
help another not because they desire
to be courteous, but because they wish
to impress their personality upon 9th
ers, and to win for themselves the
praise which they expect their actions
to bring forth. Courtesy does not put
another under obligations toward a
person. Of6ciousness does, whether
the object Of it desires or not. Courte-
sy is not always an offering Of help.
The tone of voice in simple ''Thank
you" or "Beg Pardon" can be courte-
Gus. Courtesy is more exquisite when
it Graves a favor than when it bestows
it. Georgia S. Townsend.

The Cooking of Vegetables.

1t may seem superHuous to give d1-
rections for cooking vegetables, but
as they are often poorly cooked and
as they form the main diet of so many
of Our thinking people, it surely is
not out Of place to devote some time
to the methods of cooking them so
they will be nutritious.
Like so many of Our foods, veg
etables are composed mainly of water,
but all the elements needed by the
body can be found in the vegetable
kingdom. Here we secure Our sup
smaller amount Of protein and fat
than in Our animal foods. We find
large amount of woody fiber or
cellulose in vegetables, which is a
great obstacle to be overcome in their
cooking. When plants grow rapidly
with plenty Of water and sunshine,
there is less Of this woody fiber found
in their structure, but in late season
when the vegetables grow slowly, and
if there is a small amount of moisture
the plants are found to contain a great
deal of this substance, and unless
cooked until this substance is soft, it
lrrltates the 1ntestlnes, so that all the
food is hurried through before diges-
tion is completed This fibre, though
of very little food value, has it's func-
tion in the body, and it gives the
necessary bulk which ads in the me-
chanical process.
About the simplest way to cook
vegetables is to boil or steam them,
and great many cooks may make
mistake in boiling them. The wo-
man who understands science knows
that the vegetables do not boil, but
that it is the water which boils, and
the heat which is conveyed by this
medium cooks the starch and softens
the cellulose of the vegetable Physics
has taught Our cook that under ordi-
nary pressure water becomes no
warmer after the boiling point is
reached (2I2 degrees F. and $50 de-
grees c.. Therefore she allows the
water to remain at the boiling tenn
perature until the heat has penetrated
and cooked the potato, or whatever
vegetable she is cooking, and then
she removes the water at once and
has mealy, faky potato, or prop
erly cooked one.
With but this knowledge she might

Fuentes Had Straight Tip.

That American actors are not the only stage heroes is proven by the following anecdote of the recent earth quake in Mexico City: Luckily the principal theater was empty. the play goers and players were gone, when the shock came. Not so at the Arbeu. There the performance was in full blast The lights in the theater went out. For a moment there was silence. Then was felt the shock Panic-strick- en cries. went up from all portions of the house.
 The situation was critical. In case the audience attempted to leave the house hundreds would be killed in the melee. Fuentes, the leading actor, was equal to the emergency. With re- markable promptitude and self-posses- sion he advanced to the front of the stage and while the building was rock ing, assured the audience that the shock would soon be over and that there was not the slightest danger. Just where Fuentes got the tip that the thing wouldn't last long and would not be violent he did not diVulge, but the audience voted him trump and kept its seats till the thing was over.
