AMERICAN PATRIOTISM FERvENT.
By Gov. Hughes,

The same patriotic ardor fills the
breast Of American youth as when
they rushed from field and factory
and college in obedience to their coun-
try's summons. The wives and moth
ers Of America are as loving, as de
voted, as ready to sacrifice and suf-
fer, as were those Of forty-odd years
ago.
The men Of the United States are
as quick to respond to the call Of
duty, as keen, as resourceful, as val

are blessed with the memory Of their
fathers labors; they are enriched
with lessons of their zeal; they are
inspired bv the example Of their pa

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical

conclusion that the generally ac-
cepted limitation of human life
is many years below the attain
ment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the rase is
now possessed. The critical per-
iod, that determines its duration,
seems to be between so and 60;
the proper care of the body dur
ing this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then
being fatal to longevity. Ma

POINTERS on goo COOKERY.
Some Things 70 d Borne In Mind In
Preparing Them.

Cheese and eggs, both having great
nutritive value, may well take the
place OF meat during brief season,
says the Home Magazine. Epicures
say an egg. to have the best flavor.
should be ~ hours old, and certainly
eggs over week old are not palatable
when boiled, though they are not un-
pleasant when fried and are quite ~
serviceable in other dishes. In cook.
ing eggs It should be remembered that
the albumen, of which the white Is
chiefly composed, IL most easily di.
gested when slightly coagulated, while
the yolk digests easiest when dry and
mealy. To boil eggs evenly. put them
into dish having tight cover and
pour boiling water over them In the
proportion Of two quarts to one dozen
eggs, cover and set at the back Of the
stove. After seven minutes turn the
eggs, recover and In six minutes more
the eggs will be cooked. When more
eggs than four are used by this
method, about ten minutes longer
after the turning will be required. In
this way the white Of the egg cooks to
a jellylike consistency. while the yolk
Is much harder.
Foreign cooks use small portion Of
grated cheese to give piQuant relish
to many dishes. Veal broth. creamed
potatoes and many salads are greatly
improved by its addition. The shell Of
an Edam or pineapple cheese makes
a very nice dish for serving macaroni
or light salad, and II thoroughly rinsed
in cold water Immediately after using
and kept in cold. dry place will serve
many times.

for bringing the rays Of the sun to
focus in order to produce combustion
have been employed almost from time
immemorial. Burning glasses were
used to kindle fires and these must
have been of considerable size even in
