NEW VEGETABLES IN MARkEr.
Hsstess Has Opportunity to osrvs
Novelties to Her Guests.

The hostess who hkes to serve
novelties at her table should make
the most of the odd vegetables and
fruits now on sale.
The yam, or Brazilian sweet patato,
is increasing in favor One exhibited
recently in the window of fancy
grocer was more than foot In length.
with an average circumference of ten
inches. The price asked was rs cents.
Any recipe for the cooking of the
sweet potato may be applied to the
yam. 1t should be boiled first and
sailed, when it is ready for serving
in any of several different ways.
A tropical vegetable now shown is
the chayarette. 1t is somewhat sim
liar in general shape to the green pep
per. 1t is, however. more feshy In
side. and in color is a very faint
green. almost white in some places.
The chayarette should be boiled
first, then sliced, rolled in crumbs
and fried. When so served the ap.
pearance is not unlike diminutive
slices Of fried egg plant. Served cold
and mixed with green peppers and
celery the chayarette may be used as
salad.
The Egyptian melon is another con-
spicuous novelty Of the fruiterer and
fancy grocer. Fine specimens of this
melon may be seen suspended in a
network of cord in some of the win
dows.
The melons range in price from
$1.50 to three dollars, and as a large
melon may be served to dozen or

peFENse OF THE BACHELOR.
Baltimore Mas Points Out . Few
Facts Generally Overlooked.

Az . matter Of fact. 1t 10 obvious
that more crimes are committed by
married men than by single men, for
the simple reason THAT many offenses
exceedingly popular among the former
are entirely impossible to the latter.
One such crime is wife murder. How
could q single man murder his wife?
There are IT'S wife murderers in the
United States every year, and all are
committed by married men. Again.
consider the crime Of demonicide. or
mother-inlaw killing. Its practice is
confined entirely to married men. And
forget not the lesser felonies and mis-
demeanors. How could a single man
elope with his wifes sister? How
could no desert his children? How
could hs commit bigamy? How could
he flirt with his wife's maid? How
could he be accused of non-support?
What incentive is there for him to
cheat the gas meter. swindle the in
stalment man or rob his brother-in-
law at poker? Being prosperous, well
fed and happy-as all bachelors are
why should he steal. forge, embezzle.
burgle or fight?-Baltimore Sun.

NO WONDER HE WAS SCARED.
Costume Suggested Would Have Made
Youth Look Like Circus Freak.

Not long ago a large clothing house
in New York received letter from
the remote southwest to this effect:
What is the proper dress for a
groom in the afternoon"
The clerk who opened the mail re-
ferred the inquiry to the livery depart
ment. and the head of that department
dictated a brief reply:
Bottle green coat, fawn-colored
trousers. with top boots, silk hat and
cockade. We can make you prices"
In about week came a plaintive
note:
Il always knew it was expensive to
get married, but can't you suggest
something little less elaborate?"
The Holly chieftain., 1908-01-03
Serving Crackers.

The hostess who is ever on the look.
out for novelties for her afternoon tea
table should be sure to serve her
crackers in little baskets made of
themselves.
Use sailed waters for the basket,
allowing one to side. and tying them
together with narrow satin ribbon
about quarter of an inch in width.
Put this on handsome plate COW
cred with a lace dolly and pile the
other crackers in and around it.
The effect is charming and will be
much admired.

Life Saved by cuticura.

II have been treated by doctors for
twenty-five years for bad case OF
eczema on my leg. They did their best.
but failed to cure it. My doctor had
advised me to have my leg cut of. At
this time my leg was peeled from the
knee. my foot was like piece of raw
flesh, and had to walk on crutches.

After the first two treatments the
swelling went down. and in two
months my leg was cured and the new
skin came on. The doctor was sur.
prised and said that he would use
Cuticura for his own patients. Ihave
now been cured over seven years, and
but for the Cuticura Remedies

curried Vegetables.

Four level tablespoonful butter,
one-half onion sliced, four level table
spoonfuls -four. one level tablespoonful
curry powder, one-half level teaspoon
full salt, two cupfuls hot milk, one cup
full cooked peas (fresh or canned), one
cupful potato (diced), one cupful tur.
nip (diced).
Cook the onion in the butter for five
minutes, but do not brown; add the
flour, curry powder and salt and stir
until blended. Add gradually the milk
and stir until thick and smooth. Strain
this over the vegetables and heat in

WAYS OF PREPARING FRUIT.
Apples and Pears of Great Value, Both
Cooked and Uncooked.

These fruits are both useful and
wholesome An apple eaten raw the
first thing in the morning will be bene-
fetal to those who suffer from consti-
patton. Baked apples are also good
for the same purpose, and are easier
of digestion than when uncooked.
They are very good for children for
either breakfast or supper, and may be
varied by sometimes simply baking
them on tin, and afterwards sprink-
ling them with sugar; and at others,
peeling, taking out the cores with an
apple corer, filling the hole with sugar
and putting few cloves and little
water into the jar; when filled with
apples, tie it over with brown paper
and put in the oven till the apples are
cooked. Some sorts take SO much
longer than others that we cannot
give time ror them. Pears cooked in
the same way are very nice. Apple
tea is very pleasant drink, much ap-
preciated by children. It is made by
boiling apples, cut in half, with SUM-
Client water to cover them, some
sugar and thin lemon rind; the apples
should be quite soft, then put into a
colander for all the liquid to run from
them. When cold, add little lemon
juice, and more sugar If needed.

Character begins in the cradle.
Stolen Antiquities.

It is asserted by good authority that
nearly all the rare art antiquities to
be found in the museums of various
countries have at some time in their
history been the possession of thieves.
Valuable vestments and rare old paint
ings are stolen every year from
churches where they are valued more
highly than gold of their own weight.
A gentleman well versed in such
matters tells us that Napoleon stole
the nose from off the Sphinx that he
might carry it home as a relic to be
placed in a curio museum. And had
not the Pyramids been of such pro-
portion and weight they would now
be gracing the different museums OF
the world, reposing in fragments In
glass fronted cases.

Celery Jelly.

Celery Jelly is an attractive basis
for fancy salads. Cut up the outer
green stalks and to one cupful of eel
cry use one pint Of water with one
teaspoonful Of salt. Cook until soft,
add one-quarter of box of gelatin
that has soaked for half an hour in
half cupful Of cold water; strain
through a jelly bag and mold. When
solid cut out the center and fill with
the salad. Two oranges, two bananas
and two apples diced form an attrac.
tive salad to serve with the celery
jelly.

the mind no one here will believe that
he is privileged to sin against either
himself or his brother. All laws of
action are laws of God. The best re-
suits ensue when we learn how to
use all of Gods laws in harmony with
each other. Quinine is just as much
creation of the divine spirit as is
the mind of man, and we may as well
acknowledge that infection is
process likely to take place under pre-
vailing conditions, unless guarded
against.
The employment Of mental healing
in cases of physical disorder is the
employment Of therapeutic agency.
You may use medicines if you see fit
and they produce the results, al
though as a matter of fact medical
practice of the present day makes
| less and less of the treatment by
drugs and more and more of the
| treatment by the natural agencies of
rest, air and water. On the other
hand. you may employ the mental
! healer, provided your own spirit is SO
are able to receive its benefits. MY
own belief is that those who are
wonted to the spiritual life-by which
I mean the life of communion with
COG through prayer, the life of faith
in controlling power, and Of inter
est in the life Of the spirit in its
higher manifestations-are best pre-
pared for the reception of these ben
efts. No one can be benefited who
sets himself even secretly against his
healer, who prefers his own will and
way to the will and way of God, or
who cherishes false self pride in his
own condition. The only way OF
restoration is the sincere and humble
ccmmittal of oneself into the hands
of God that He may work His restor-
ing will. One must learn the very
heart Of the meaning of the sixth
chapter of Matthew, the core of which
is the insistence upon the necessity OF
the genuine union of the life of mar
!! with God. II there is one place IL
} which no deception is possible it il
