AT THE FIRST MEAL
PROPER DISHES FOR A SU5STAN,
TIAL BREAKFAST.
LeftoVeFs of Meat Can Be Served in
APpetizing Fashion-Reeipe for
the Making of PopoVers
or "Tortonis."

A substantial breakfast should con-
sist of one fundamental dish, fruit in
season, one or more dishes of a light
er description tor those whose appe-
tttes require an extra relish, according
to Elizabeth Pyeweu. PatotOes are
the best to add, as there are many
ways of cooking them.
Leftover of meat should always be
kept for the next days breakfast and
be served hot.
Popoyers, or "tortonis,' as they are
called abroad, are excellent. They
should be hollow in the inside and
brought to table the instant they leave
the oven, else The crust is apt to be
tough.
Friday is the best day to select for
Ash as it comes in greater quantity
and the risk of buying those kept over
IS less.
good sized rock fish may be boiled
for Fridays dinner. What is left will
serve as the basis of a dish for break.
fast on the following day.
To one pound of cold boiled fish al.
lew half pint of white sauce, three
cold white potatoes. three hard
boiled eggs sliced, a spoonful or two
Of rich milk or cream and milk mixed
half and half and chopped parsley.
This can be prepared over night and
set aside in a cool place. A few min.
utes will be sufficient to simmer the
fish
Take the remains of the fish free
from skin and bones, break this into
flakes. Put the white sauce into a
saucepan with the faxed fish, three
cold potatoes sliced and three hard
boiled eggs also sliced If too thick
add a little not milk. Simmer for
about five minutes; place on a hot
dish, and sprinkle chopped parsley on
the surface.
For popoYers or tortonis have half
3 cupful of flour, two scant cupfuls OF
sweet milk. yolks of two eggs and
whites of three.
Beat the whites of the eggs; when
light add these to the yolks and beat
together.
Add thTee-quaTterS OF a teaSpOOnful
Of salt, next the milk. after this one
and a half cupfuls of flour (sifted)
Stir quickly until free from Jumps
Heat the cups in the oven, grease
well. pour in the mixture and bake in
q quick oven.
No breakfast is complete without a
cereal; those which require cooking
are considered the most wholesome
Fruit in season should be eaten first
followed by a cereal.

Cleanina Portieres.

The dusty portieres you wish to
clean should be thoroughly shaken and
placed in a washing machine in the
yard and covered, not just dampened,
entirely with gasoline. Throw some
thing over the machine to keep in the
fumes and leave for at least half an
hour. Do not attempt TO rub or
squeeze out the dirt, but gently lift
out the curtains, place evenly on the
Ane and allow to drip and dry. When
dry beat lightly with a rattan carpet
beater. The gasoline IoOsens dust and
dirt and the gentle beating throws it
OF the same as dust. You will find
they are perfectly clean. Leave as
long as possible in the hot sun, since
heat kills the disagreeable odor.

For a Bore in the Throat.

An obstruction in the throat, trachea
or oesophagUs may sometimes be re-
moved by striking the patient fOTcibly
on the back between the shoulders.
Sometimes it is expedient to invert
him while doing so. A child can be
held up by the legs, but an adult
should be placed across a bed or chair
with his head and chest hanging well
over the edge. If the object is in the
oesOphagus it can be often washed
down with a drink Of water or forced
down by eating bread or other solid
substance. To prevent e1coriation OF
the altmentary canal after the sWaI-
lowing of any sharp substance have
the patient eat plentifully of bread, pO-
tatoes or nush, but do not give a
purgative.

round of duty.
The photograph from which this pic.
ture was made was taken by Mr.. RO-
sen, who was a member OF the Ger
man mission that a while ago carried
many very fine presents to Emperor
Menelik of Abyssinia A few days
after the party landed on the African
coast they were astonished to see
this iOness tagging along after the
white man. Her unusual story and
her photograph are among the inter
esting things found in the volume that
Mr.. Rosen has written about the ad-
the court of Menelik.
The tanner of this lioness has q
place of no small Importance in
French East Africa He has a large
part in the management of the rail-
road that extends from the French
port of Jibuti to the old town OF Har-
Tar, which not very long ago could be
visited by white men only in disguise
His name is Carette.
1t was CaIette who had to solve the
problem of the Issa natives. At one
time during the construction Of the
railroad very few Of the wOrkmen who
went or were sent a few miles away
from the line ever returned. Ne hos
tile natives were seen, but nothing
was found OF the lost men excepting
their mutilated bodies. This murder
Gus work was done by the Issa ma
tiVes with their lances.
At last they came out into the open
and killed 80 men who were at work
on the roadbed. CONSERVATION reigned
and all work on the railroad ceased
till Carette supplied complete protec-
ton and finally put an end to the
hostility of the Issa by winning the
confidence of their chiefs.
One day this baby lioness was
brought to him. Her eyes had scarcely
opened, and from her babyhOod On she
has been the special care of the white
man
She does noe know the tricks that
are taught to many show animals, but
after all her education has probably
been more thorough than that of al
most any other trained lion that ever
lived, for she has been practically
turned into a domestic animal She
comes and goes like a dog, obedient
to her masters will, and seems to
have a genuine affection for him.

and fruit salads. Three or four of
the balls may be nested in lettuce
leaves, a watercress, and be dressed
with oil and vinegar. Mixed olives or
nuts are sometimes mixed with the
cheese for the balls, or the balls are
rolled sometimes in minced nuts or in
minced parsley. They are also tasty
mixed with green peppers. Green pep

Cheesecloth a Frlsnd

Every hOusekeeper knows the value
Of cheeseclOth as a duster, but per-
haps not its invaluable use in every
thing in the household menage where
q cloth is necessary. There is nothing
like it for a floor rag, it washes and
dries the floors and woodwork readily
and wTings out easily. AS a dish cloth
it is par excellence, as stains and
grease do not stay in it. It cleans
the windows easily and is splendid
for polishing mirrors. It can be bought
for five to eight cents a yard.

Big Cat That Attracts Notice in
French East Africa.

Paris.-This is a picture OF
Frenchman and honess he has do
mesticated so that she trOts along at
his heels wherever he goes. She was
afraid of the camera. and as she de-
clined to face it, her master put her
leading string around her neck, kept
her from looking around and the
photographer caught her unaware.
She is less than two years old and
is said to be as docile a. a kitten, but
her master is too wise to trust her
fully. If they are likely to meet any
thing that might unduly excite the
animal she is led instead of being per-
mitted to follow without any means
of restraint. She is always in con-

Is Recounized.

Berlin.-Capt Charles Polack. of the
North German Lloyd line, who has
been decorated with the Third Order
of the Crown by Emperor William of
Germany. in recognition of the skill
and courage displayed by him in tax
ing the rudderless Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse safely across the Atlantic,
is one Of the youngest officers in the
cOmpany's service.
The decoration recently conferred
on him is the second he has received
from the German emperor. He was
given that of the Red Eagle in recog-
milton of his personal bravery in rescu-
ing from drowning four members of
q boats crew of which he was in
command when on the way to save
the crew Of sinking ship. For this
act Capt Poiack received the much
priced life saving medal of the Royal
Humane society. and was also given a
decoration by the late Queen Victoria
Capt. POlack is a man of more than

swimmer. One by one he picked up
his men, who were struggling in the
water. and carried them to the cap
sized boat. There he left each man to
hang on while he went after another
He kept up the rescue work until he
had picked up four of the crew. The
fifth man was not seen after the boat
capsized. and it was supposed that he
was stunned by the boat as it turned
turtle
Capt Polack was promoted to his
present position in the North German
Lloyd service in 1900. It was on his
second round trip in command of the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse that the

Money Spending a Habit.

Spending money is a good deal of a
habit. and though nobody need expect
to break it off entirely, it can be re-
stricted with much less serious incon.
venience than most of US suppose. It
is by no means the only way to have
fun. The problems of economy are
lust about as interesting as the prob
lens of expenditure. 1t is sometimes
so harassing to decide in which Of
several ways TO spend a sum Of
money that it comes almost as a relief
to have the money crawl back into
its hole and make a decision unnec-
essary. Thrift has great powers of
entertainment, especially when it is
successful, and relieves the mind Of
fiscal anxieties without depriving the
body of the food, raiment and shelter

VARIETY In EGGS
FOR CHANGES IN
THE MENU.
Combinations, Both Elaborate and
Simple, That Will Prove Useful
When a Hasty lucheon Has
TO Be Prepared.

There are so many ways Of cooking
eggs, so many endless combinations
ehat, pausing on the threshold of the
fascinating subject. one scarcely knows
where to begin, says a writer in the
Chicago Tribune. 1t seems hardly
credible that there are still surviving
a few benighted minds to whom the
word egg suggests only the inevita-
Bile boiled, scrambled, Ioached and
fried.
Some of the combinations are fussy
and some are very simple. and it is
only few OF the simplest kind that
will undertake now to describe Many
a haraSsed woman has been suddenly
oVertaken by an unexpected guest for
luncheon. and as there are usually
eggs in the house it is we'll to know
something at the same time a little out
Of the ordinary and not TO difficult to
prepare at short notice
Take, for instance the addition Of a
little chopped pimento to the usual
scrambled eggs, and you have varia-
ton at once piquant and agreeable.
The best way to scramble eggs is
first to melt small piece of butter in
frying pan. then break your eggs
into it without heating them, allowing
two eggs for each person. Then add a
little milk, another piece of butter, and
salt to taste. and stir them quickly
over fire that is not too hot. When
they are done. not too soft, and not
too stiff and hard, sprinkle a little
paprika over them, and they are ready
to serve. In case Of adding chopped
pimento stir it in just before the eggs
are done
And from the southern Creole
cooks comes pleasing change from
plain fried eggs-to serve them with a
ly in hot butter, and before serving
pour over them the following tomato
sauce: Chop three onions and fry them
to light golden brown in a generous
teaspOOnful Of -four, and mix well
with onions and butter. Add very
gradually, stirring until the sauce
thickens Then add a teaspoon Of salt,
two whole cloves, half bay leaf, a
generous sprinkling of paprika, and a
quarter of a teaspOonful Of mace. Let
it simmer until thoroughly blended
about 10 minutes; then pound through
a coarse puree strainer and 1t is ready
to serve, but will be better if kept a
day and reheated.
The combination Of sliced hard
boiled eggs served in cream sauce
on toast is too familiar to require men
ton, but a clever woman evolved from
it an idea which is we'll worth trying.
Cut few onions in slices and fry
them to a light golden brown in a
heaping tablespoonful of butter. Add
a tablespoon of -four and rub to a
thick smooth paste. Pour gradually
into this enough brown stock. milk or
| cream to make a thick sauce, pour 1t
over sliced hard boiled eggs and serve
| on toast.

Primitive Methods Still in Vogue in

Mexico City.-The most primitive
methods of agriculture are still in

egg whites and stir in lightly and
quickly a scant teaspOonful of baking

tin, not having the batter more than
a scant half-inch thick. Bake quickly
and steadily and when done turn the

Large feather beds can be renovated
by emptying the feathers from the
tick into a tub of warm sOapsuds-soft
water is preferable, Stir and wash
thoroughly, then run them through a
wringer into another suds. When
cleaned run through a tight wringer
and place between two sheets in the
sun TO dry. THrn occasionally, and
when dry enough to be scattered by

Though there is a decided antipa-

on the face, il may be used without
any special harm to the skin if the
soap itself is pure and every particle
is rinsed of with clear, cold water,
which acts as a tonic 10 the skin. In
applying the soap make a strong suds
