Cooking as an Art.

! When we talk about the arts. we
usually refer to statues, painting or
something of that kind, but why not
i consider cooking us an art? 1t is
indeed one of the most valuable and
helpful arts known to man. There
are men so skilled in cooking they
are able to refuse offers of $40, 900
per year, and the work which is Of
fered them is light, requiring but a
few hours each day. There are wO-
men so skilled in cooking they can
get position any day at salary
that would tempt Il bank president.
If the average women appreciated
how valuable her services could be-
come if she were a thoroughly capable
cook, she would give more study and
attention to this important subject.
The trouble is cooking does not
satisfy the ambition of women. The
average woman looks down upon all
kinds of kitchen work, considering it
degrading, although she will not own
that such are her sentiments. 1t
will be great day to our country
when our woman change their ideas
about the present estimation of do
mestic employment. One reason our
kitchen help is so scarce is that
kitchen work is looked upon as de-
grading. No wonder young girl is
not satisfied to spend the best years
of her life in q kitchen, if it is going
to disqualify her from being recog-
nized at church or in society, or if
it is going to prevent her from secur-
ing Il worthy husband. Kitchen work
is not degrading; it can be made ele-
waiting. All work is honorable.

When the Nose Bleeds.

When the nose is bleeding never
hold it over a basin, or hold the head
down in any way. This only causes
further rush of blood to the broken
tissues in the nose. The head should
be held up and back. the flow being
caught in handkerchiefs or cloths. One
of the most effective and simple means
of checking a nose bleed is to press on
the upper lip. Near the under surface
of the lip runs the artery that supplies
the interior nasal passages where the
ruptures occur. If this is pressed. the
flow of blood is mechanically checked,
thus allowing the blood around the
broken tissues to CONCEAL and seal up
the opening. If merely pressing with
the finger does not succeed. place
wad of paper under the lip and fold
the lip over it, holding it down tight,
says WOmdn's Life. Again, If this
does not succeed. and drug store Is
near, get some adrenalin, saturate
piece of cotton with it, and apply to
the interior of the nose from where
the blood flows.

Some Brief Suggestions.

Make starch with sOap-sudS to
give gloss to linen.
Mud spots on black clothes can be
removed by rubbing with raw potato.
Use olive oil when sailing almonds
or peanuts. 1t gives finer flavor
than butter.
A little grated hOrseradiSh added
to milk gravy is a nice accompani-
ment to boiled beef.
Rub worn spots on black kid
gloves and shoes with Il mixture of
olive oil and black ink.
To clean silver with deep engrav-
ing, use a paste made with whiting
and ammonia; apply with a brush.
If when making cOrnmeal muSh
to fry, milk is used instead of water;
it will be found to brown in half the
time.
Cold boiled rice left from a meal
can be utilized by adding u beaten
egg and milk and formed into cakes
and fried. Nice for tea.
Put scraps of cold meat through
food-chopper and stir in cornmeal
mush when making it to fry. An
appetizing dish for break fast.

an hour or two, examining to see if
any insects are hidden in the leaves.
If to be seasoned with butter, pepper
and salt, drop the prepared cabbage

Keep boiling briskly, leaving the kettle
uncovered, for half an hour, when it
should be done; then lift into col

the cabbage is cooking. prepare in an
other vessel sauce of one teacupful
of not very strong vinegar, butter the
size of large walnut. two tablespoon
fuls Of sugar. and bring to a boil set
off, and stir into it Immediately a
wellbeaten egg. Have the chopped
cabbage in a dish and pour over it
the vinegar sauce, stir by tossing with
a fork, mixing it thoroughly and
serve. Pepper and additional salt can
be added at table.
For bacon and cabbage, one and one
quarter pounds is enough for large

meat is to be eaten, the meat should
be cooked with the cabbage, but cook
the meat first, then take up, and strain

him to bury tablets bearing the Rus

along the coast. which were to be care

The Tired Woman.

For the guidance of the tired
woman there are six rules:
Lie in bed in the morning until you
wake up of your own accord.
Put on loose clothing, and, if pos
sible, change it completely in the
middle of the day.
Don't sit bolt upright if you can
help it. Select chairs with restful
backs, and try to favor yourself lit
tie.
Coddle your nerves, also; don t
listen to narrowing stories and don t
allow yourself to become disturbed.
Above all things, don't worry.
Try to rest your eyesight, and
don't read before breakfast nor di-
rectly after 4 meal.
If you are going out in the after
noon and have a busy day before you,
try the Queen Alexander diet of five
small meals day. Take glass OF
milk and 4 biscuit at IL O'Clock and
another at 1. This will not interfere
with your regular meals, and serve
as pick-me-up.

A Kinodom for Sale.

A monarch by the name OF Ybor-
shi is advertising a kingdom for sale
in several continental newspapers. He
offers his throne, crown, scepters.
dominions. and subjects for sale. with
thirty wives thrown In, for the modest
sum Of 100000. His realm is that OF
Aysbonia, a strip of land in Africa 250
miles long and ninety miles wide. The
power of life and death is the kings
prerogative, and goes with the crown,
as does the granting Of all concessions.
A special attraction of the offer Is the
royal crown, which is a neat diadem
made Of human skulls and thigh bones.
Thus far his dusky majesty appears to
have had no offer

THE IMPENDING ISSUE.
Comparison Of Party Principles Made
at jackson Day Banquet


At this important function Mr..
Bryan spoge as follows:
The questions which involve a dis
cusSiOn of the relative sphere of the
nation and of the State bring out the
difference in the point of view of the
aristOcrat and the Democrat The
aristOcrat wants to get the Govern
ment as far away from the people as
possible; the Democrat desires to bring
the Government as near the people
as possible. The ariStocrat would
substitute national remedies for State
ones because predatory wealth can
protect itself from national Legislation
more easily than from State legisla-
| tiOn more easily would add the ma
tiOnal remedy to the State remedy and
thus give to the people the protection
Of both the State and Federal Govern
ments.
The labor question Is considered
from both standpoints The aristocrat
thinks only of the large employers:
the Democrat of the army of employees
and OF the general public, which is in
cOnvenienced by any disruption of
friendly relations between employer
and employe.
"The question of Imperialism in like
manner presents the difference in view
point: The Imperialist thinks more OF
the extension of commerce than OF the
preservation Of the idea Of self-govern-
ment. and he thinks only OF the bene-
fits that might come to the cOmpara-
tive few; the Democrat knows that
trade purchased at the cannOn's mouth
costs more than 1t is worth. and that
the cost falls upon all the people. while
the profits accrue to but n few.
And so whatever question we take
up we find that everything depends
upon the point of view from which
We examine the question. and there Is
no better illustration Of this than can
be found In the financial stringency
through which We are passing. The
Republican leaders at once rush to the
rescue Of the banks after those banks
had brought the stringency upon the
country by their unbusinesslike meth.
ods.
The banks of the rest of the coun-
try were Disseminated against in favor
of the banks Of New York City, and,
after the Government had exhausted
1t borrowed money at per cent In
order that it might have money to
loan to the banks for nothing. and
the high financiers count 1t patriotism
to loan out at emergency rates the
treasury money furnished them with
out interest.
IF the Republican leaders had spent
half as much time in trying to make
depositors secure as they have spent
in trying to increase the profits Of the
bankers. We would not have had any
panic at all.
THE country is ripe for the applica-
tion OF Democratic principles to gov
ernment. and all that Is necessary is
for the Democratic party to convince
thu people that 1t will be truly Demo
cratic IL intrusted with power.
"Will the Democratic party be Demo-
cratic? Let 1t convince the public that
1t will be and we shall have a victory
which will be fruitful. in blessings to
every part of the country and to every
element Of our population"

Apostrophe on Water.
BY John B. Cough.

There is no poison in the cup. No
fiendish spirit dwclls beneath those
crystal drops to lure you and me and
all of us to ruin; no spectral shadows
play upon its waveless surface. No
widows groans or orphans tears rise
to God from those placid fountains
Misery, crime. wretchedness, woe,
want and rags come not within the
hallowed precincts where cold water
reigns supreme. Pure now as when 1t
left its native heaven. giving vigor to
our youth. strength to our manhood,
and s0lace to our old age. cold water
is beautiful and bright and pure every
where. In the moonlight fountains
and the sunny rills; in the warbling
brook and the giant river; in the deep
tangled wildwood and the cataract's
spray; In the hand Of beauty and the
lips OF manhood-cold water Is beau
tlful everywhere"
Then follows the execration OF rum:
There Is poison in the cup whose
sting is madness and whose embrace
is death. There dwells beneath that
smiling surface q fiendish spirit that
for centuries has been wandering over
the earth. carrying on war Of deso-
lation and destruction against man.
kind, blighting and mildewing the
noblest affections Of the heart, and
corrupting with its foul breath the tide
of human life. Gaze on it! But shud'
der as you gaze Those sparkling
drops are murder in disguise. SO quiet
now; yet widows groans and orphans
tears and maniac yells are in that cup
The worm that dieth not and the fire
that is not quenched are in that cup.
Peace and hope and love and truth
dwell not within that fiery circle
where dWells that desolating monster
which men call rum. Corrupt now as
when it left its native hell, giving fire
to the eye. madness to the brain and
ruin to the soul. Rum Is vile and
deadly and acursed everywhere"

An Anron With individuality.

How much a little dainty handwork
adds to the beauty of garment or
accessory. l saw pretty little chatting
dish apron the other day made from
organdie splashed with pink roses
The corners we're rounded of and then
the apron was trimmed all around
with a gathered frill hemmed on the
edge.
A little individuality was shown by
a bow of pink silk French knots SCI
on the stitching of the hem half an
inch apart.
A narrow beading connected frill and
apron. and this, too. showed the knots
on the edges. 1t was only a trifie
but it added wonderfully to the dainti
ness of the apron.
