Baskets Of Fried Potatoes.

A cooking teacher advises against
washing or soaking sliced potatoes
before. frying them. Soaking takes
the starch out, but makes the pota"
toes tough. The same authority tells
how to make basketsof fried potatoes
in which to serve fried smells or
other. small fish. Slice the potatoes
into straws, dry them thoroughly and
line a small wire strainer with the
straws. They should be we'll packed.
Put over them a second wire strain
or, a size smaller than the first. This
will hold them in place when they
are plunged into the smoking fat.
Fry for five or six minutes, lift out Of
the kettle and drain. Pass a small
knife around the edges between the
potatoes and the strainer, when the
baskets will come out easily. Roll
the fish in crumbs or -four, dip them
in beaten egg and again roll in
crumbs or flour and fry in deep fat.
Serve the fish in the baskets, which
place on dainty napkins. Garnish
with fried potatoes and lemon.-New

Hints About Pillows.

Not only should the outside pillow
tick receive a good airing and wash.
ing if necessary, but occasionally the
inside feathers should have the bene-
fit of a. publication of the same kind.
You can freshen the pillows if you
will beat out all dust, rip n corner,
pour in one cup Of hot water, sew p,
then shake and pound well and min
on the line in the SUM-.
Some housekeepers use pillows
with ticks decidedly soiled, because
they dread the bother of emptying
the ticks to wash, but this should b.
done as soiled pillows are unattrac-
tive and the sooner they are washed
the less trouble it will be. To wash
the pillow tick, shake the feathers
into one end; then rip open the
other end and haste to a stout pill
low case, then shake all the feathers
into the case befoSe removing the
pillow tick. Wash the tick perfectly
clean, then boil and rinse it and put
q little starch in the blueing water.
then put the feathers back in the
same manner in which they were
taken out.
If both tick and feathers must be
washed, put the pillows in a strong
soapsuds to which a tablespoon
full of ammonia has been added and
rub the pillow on the board as if
washing clothes, then rinse through
several waters and squeeze and press
as much of the water out as possible.
Hang the pillows in the shade to dry
and it will require three or four days.
1t is well to go out several times
q day and beat the feathers and
shake them thoroughly, then when
dry give the pillow a good beating
up and it will be clean and light, and
will seem to have about twice as
many feathers if the cleaning and
drying have been carefully DONE

Chicken Mousse.

Scald one cup of milk, cream or
we'll reduced chicken broth; beat the
yolks of three eggs slightly; add one-
fourth teaspoonful Of salt and a
dash of paprika and cook in the hot
liquid until the mixture coats the
spoon. Remove from the fire and
add %one-fourth package of gelatine,

molds, or into a large mold lined with
paper. The molds may be decorated
with pistachio nuts or trufies, or
both may be used. Serve when
chilled and firm with lettuce or other
green salad. This is particularly
good with lettuce and tomatoes.
French or mayonnaise dressing may
be used. - Boston Cooking School

Household Hints.

The dirtiest frying pan will be-
come clean if soaked five minutes in
ammonia and water.
For peanut sandwiches mash the
nuts into a powder, season with salt
and moisten with cream.
Salmon which is to be fed to an
invalid should be wrapped in creased
paper and lightly broiled.
When making starch be sure to
boil it we'll or it will stick to the iron.
and if it is not strained it will be
iumpy.
Go over the zinc under the stove
once a day with a cloth dampened
with kerosene and it will always be
bright.
If potatoes are boiled in their skins
and the skins removed Just before
sending to the table, there will not be
go much waste.
Homework should not be looked
upon as drudgery. 1t won't tighten
it any and will only serve to make
one who haS to do it unhappy.

What Was the Matter With Him?

A Richmond man has in his employ
q colored man of advanced age who,
by reason of his thrifty habits, had
accumulated enough money to defray
the cost of his sons tuition at a ne
gro college in Alabama.
When the darky's boy returned to
Richmond after the completion of his
course, he proceeded, much to his
parents disgust, to air his opinions
on various subjects in a more or less
diffuse and ford style Of speech.
One day the old man took him
aside and addressed him as follows:
Richard Thompson Jenkins, Ise

The soul's Craving,

True peace is when the soul rel
vclves around its centre, Almighty
God, craving for nothing but whad
God continually supplies, its passions
subdued to itself, itself lovingly loyal
to God, in harmony with its God and
His laws. God made the soul fol-
Himself, to have it's bliss in His in1
finite, unchanging, exhautless love-
The soul then must needs be rest
less, until it repose in Him." Every
thing, whether it belong to the keen1
est intellect, or the lowest senses, Il
an idol if the soul rests on it, apart
from God. The souls craving fo1|
peace is it's natural yearning for itd
end, it's Maker and its God. Sincd
the soul is large enough to contain
the infinite God. nothing less thar
Himself can satisfy or fill it.

French Tax OH Titles.

1t is proposed in France, where in.
genuity in devising new sources of
revenu has been raised to a fine art,
to impose a tax on titles of nobility.
II a nation which has taxed win.
dows and doors the proposal will not
seem extraordinary. The odd thing
is that the republic, which has de.
clared such titles fictitious, should
now recognize them as a means of
national; income. A point Of interest
for the outer world is that only genu.
inc titles will be taxed. Their legiti.
macy will thus be guaranteed by Gov

Beautiful Victims.

What a host of moral perils assail
our boys and young men to-day!
Shall we make them greater by our
example, or by failing to smash the
trap, so far as we can, that threatens
their feet? One writer has thus pic
tured the perils of youth: One day
1 was in a wood watching a dove
p~reening it's wings on a beech bough.
1t looked the picture Of security. I
had no thought that a bloodthirsty
eye was fixed upon that dove; but all
of a sudden there was a whirring
sound, a short scuf1e and a piteous
cutlery, and I saw that a sparrow
hawk had seized it in it's talons and
was bearing it away to tear it to
pieces at its leisure. Who oftenest
plays the part of destroyer to u
young men? Is it not the man who
makes it his business to induce men,
and especially young men, to drink
that he may be enriched? BY him
our thoughless boys, sporting in in
nocence, are destroyed body and soul,
many of them every year.

scald, wipe and stone one-half

By putting through the meat grim
