RECIPES
APPROVED METHODS OF COOK.
ING ONIONS.
Young Plants May Be Served on But
tered Toast Like Asparagus
When Esoalloped Vegetable Is
Delieious-Mint Vinegar.

To Cook Young onions.-Peel, drop
in cold water and let them soak Is
minutes. Cook tender in boiling salt
ed water and serve on slices of but
tered toast like asparagus. Season
with salt, pepper and a little but
ter.
Onion soup.-This is wholesome
and tasty Slice two or three large
onions and fry yellow in butter or
clarified drippings. When soft add
three tablespoonfuls flour and stir
until cooked and frothy. Now add
slowly a pint of boiling water, stir
ring until smooth and slightly thick
ened. Have ready three potatoes boil
ed and mashed and add to them a
quart of milk that has been brought
Just to the scalding point. Put the
potato and onion mixture together, sea-
son with salt and pepper, let it get
very hot, then press through a strain
er into a hot tureen. Sprinkle over
the top a little parsley minced fine and
a handful crisp croutons.
Escalloped Onions. - Peel half a
dozen large onions and lay in cold
water for an hour. Cut in thick slices
and put on to cook in boiling sailed
water. Boil ten minutes, drain and
cover again with boiling water. Cook
until they are tender, but still firm.
Have ready a pint of rather thin
cream sauce. Butter a baking dish,
put in a layer of onions, then n of
the sauce and sprinkle with bread
and crumbs and so on until the
dish is full, having the last layer of
buttered crumbs. Bake in a quick
oven and brown. A little cheese may
be used with each layer Of crumbs, if
desired. There should be enough of
the thin cream sauce used to show
generously about the onions when
served.
Mint Vinegar.-Fill loosely a large
wide-mouthed bottle with the mint
leaves. Pour in vinegar, cork
ly and let it remain for two or three
weeks. Then pour off the vinegar into
another bottle and keep well corked
until needed. This is a capital substi-

cannot be obtained.
Cowslip Vinegar.-An excellent vim
egar is also made from cowslips (prim-
ula). Put one quart of the pips into
a jar with three pints white wine
vinegar. Cork tightly and let it re-
main for ten days. Strain, bottle and
seal. An excellent addition are a few
sweet br1ar tips-three or four to two
cups of the liquid.
Vegetable CutIets.-Boil separately
until tender a half dozen French car
rots, a turnip and an onion. Mash
thoroughly and mix with a cupful
cooked lentils drained perfectly dry.
Season with minced parsley, salt and
pepper, and a beaten egg and bread
crumbs to bind together. Form into
%croquettes, outlet shaped, dip in beat
en- egg, roll in fine crumbs and fry in
deep fat. Garnish with parsley and
serve hot. A little curry powder may
be added to the seasoning.

TWO RIVAL FLOOR COVERINGS.
Linoleum and olleloth Must fsot Be
Treated Alike.

Linoleum is made with a mixture OF
powdered cork, linseed oil, resin and
a pigment pressed on burlap between
heated rollers. The patterns are
painted on it and it is then vanished.
Oilcloth is made by applying sew
eral layers of coarse paint to burlap
or coarse canvas finishing with finer
paint, then painting on the pattern
and finally vanishing. It can easily
be seen that these cloths, finished as
they are with varn6h and paint.
should not be washed with strong
soaps or alkalis, and that a careful oil
ing now and then will surely be bene-
fetal.
Oilcloths may be kept bright for
years if properly vanished each sea
son.
The oilcloths should never be
scrubbed with a brush, but after being
first swept should be cleansed with a
large soft cloth and cold or lukewarm
water, in which has been dissolved a
little borax, dip a flannel cloth in milk
and with this wipe the oilcloth. Limo
leum may be frightened with a little
glue water.
Melt a little ordinary glue in water
apply it with a flannel cloth. The limo
leum should be clean and dry before
rubbing it with the glue water.

GLASS NEEDS TENDER CARE.
Careful Washing and Drying Is Abso.
luteIy Indispensable.

There is nothing that repays one
more for careful washing and drying
than glass. First, one must have a
basin of warm water, softened with
dissolved soap which makes a very
good lather. The water must not be
too hot, or it will break the glass.
Have a basin of clear water to rinse
the glass in after washing it, and if a
very fine polish be desired on it have
a third basin of cold water with a lit
tie ammonia in it.
Wash each article separately. rinse
it well and dry with a soft glass cloth
which should be made Of linen, or tiny
fluffy particles will stick to the glass
and spoil its bright appearance.
When it is washed and dried polish
with a leather kept only for the pur-
pose, or with a silk handkerchief or
with some soft tissue paper.
For cut glass, if the pattern be at
all deep, when washing it S a soft
brush with a little soap rubbed on it
so hat all the crevices of the pattern
are thoroughly cleansed. Rinse in
clean water and a little household am
monia.

Care Of liable CutIerv.

All table cutlery should be washed
as soon as possible after it has been
used to cleanse the knives and cary
ing-forks of grease, the latter being
afterward well dried and the prongs
rubbed with ~knife-powder, while in
cases where knives are cleaned in a
machine this duty should always, if
possible, be entrusted to the same per-
son, a point which considerably
lengthens the working powers of the
knife-machine, Knives must never be
kept in a cupboard close to hot iue
or near the kitchen stove, as this will
cause the handles to crack. When not
in use cutlery should be rubbed with
mutton fat and wrapped in brown
paper.

Ghosts Of Dead Laksa.

In the great basin between the
Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas lie
the ghosts Of many dead lakes. Riv-
ers still flow down to the dry edge OF
these one-time great reservoirs and
are licked up by evaporation and the
chinook winds. OF all the lakes that
once hay there, only Great Salt Lake,
Lake Tahoe and Bear Lake are left.
The Southern Pacific rolls for 1855
miles across the bed of what was once
Lake Lahontan, and the passengers
gazing idly from the windows may see
the terraces and wrinkles in the crust
of the fossil lake which nature robbed
and defrauded of its crystal treasures
ages ago.-Exchange.

Russian statesmen seem to object to
a physical connection between Ameri-
ca and Asia as effectively If not as
vigorously as British statesmen object
to physical connection between Eng
land and France, remarks the Youths
Companion. The plan to tunnel the
English channel so that railroad trains
may run from London to Paris has
lately been disproved by the British
government, and last month the Rus
sian cabinet rejected the proposal
made by an American syndicate to dig
, railroad tunnel under Boring Strait,
to provide connection between the
Alaskan and the Trans-Siberian rail-
ways.

A trolley line is to be constructed
from Washington to Gettysburg. That
will facilitate sightseeing and will be
an added attraction for visitors to the
national capital. The construction of
trolley railroads is n of the remark

How to Make PaprIka Semitic.

thickness, cut into pieces, say three by
four inches-or any size to suit. Salt
and pepper the pieces; roll in flour,
fry light brown on both sides. Have
your fat hot before putting the meat
in to fry. In frying veal it is nice to
put a little butter with your frying
fat. When brown cover with water
(hot), add a small onion, a few slices
of lemon, a bay leaf, a sprig of pars-
ley, a dessertspoonful Of vinegar and
several good shakes of paprika. Cover,
and let all boil till the meat is ten.

much, add a little more water and let
it cook until there is just enough

gravy strained over the neat. 1t is
a good plan to taste the gravy, while
boiling, for salt, etc.
A half hour will do for this.
