HAY BOX COOKING.
A Boon to Bachelor Girls and Apart
nent Dwelers.

A Boon to Bachelor Girls and Apart
nent Dwellers.
A hay box which works like a charm
has been made by a housekeeper out
Of a large wooden cracker box. She
was very careful to select one without
knotholes. through which the heat
could escape, and she had the carpen-
ter ht the cover with hinges. Then
she put in a lining Of asbestus, gluing
It to the inside of the box. This is
much better than newspapers, she says.
Then she put In plenty Of good fresh
hay, which she renews every two or
three weeks.
The kettle In which she cooks her
dinner is put in this nest Of hay, and
a hay pillow with a covering Of cotton
batting that just fits the top Of the
box is laid over it, and the cooker is
ready for business.
Really ornamental cookers which
look like a shirt waist box or a book
case are a boon to bachelor girls and
those who live in small quarters where
everything must be in company dress
all the time. The food is merely start
ed on the oil stove or tiny gas burner
and then tucked apparently in the
bookcase to cook peacefully till din
ner time.
A woman who has used such a stove
gives the following directions for pre-
pairing beef a Ia mode: She advises a
piece Of from four to six pounds. Aft

vinegar over it and let It stand for
several hours. turning 1t now and
then. Then score it in places, run in
strips of lard and brown 1t In a fry
ing pan with some slices Of carrots
and minced onion. Put the meat into
the pot in which It is to be finally
cooked, nearly cover It with water
and let 1t boil for twenty minutes.
Put in a spall bag Of mixed herbs and
pack away in the box for at least eight
hours. When ready to serve the gravy
should be thickened with a little -four
Another woman says that she has
great luck making steamed puddings
in her hay box. Any favorite recipe
may be used. Put batter into pound
baking powder cans, filing them half
full. cover, place them in kettle and
pour as much boiling water around
them as the kettle viii hold or until
the cans threaten to tip over. Boil one
half hour on the stove and place In boz
at least four hours. If larger cans are
used give an extra hour. The batter
should be made a little sitter thar
usual. Do not jar the box after pud
ding is in.

That a switch in a players position

but when switched TO second became
a sensation.

MoHAIR AND ALPACA.
These Fabrics Come From Two En-
tirely Different Animals.

tireiy Different Animals.
''The other day l heard a couple Of
men arguing about mohair and alpaca,
one of them gravely asserting that
they were different names for the same
fabric" said a New York importer.
'The assertion was very far out OF
the way. The cloth known as alpaca,
II genuine, comes from the wool OF the
animal Of the same name, which
thrives only in the Andean regions
of Peru and Chile in South America.
The alpaca, or pace, whioh resembles
the llama, looks a good deal like our
domestic sheep and has a most beauti-
ful fleece. Great fioclzs Of them browse
on the highest ranges Of the Andes
and are the property Of the native In
dians, who shear them once a year.
Many efforts have been made to breed
the alpaca in different parts Of Eu-
rope and Australia, but without sue
cess. A cargo Of them was brought to
Baltimore some time in the middle OF
the last century, but the experiment OF
raising them in the United States was
likewise a failure.
"The cloth known as mohafr comes
from the Angora goat a very different
animal from the alpaca. The angora
is found in South Africa, but the lar
gest flocks are found in Asia AIinorD-
