SPRING DISHES.

Turnip and Beet Tops-These simple
greens are superb for freshening the
blood and giving tone to the stomach.
They may be cooked together or sep
arately and with pork or bacon or
merely in sailed water. Two hours is
about the time needed for tenderness,
but the time really depends upon the
delicacy and freshness of the tops, Buy
only the freshest ones, for withered
green's are neither digestible nor pal
atable. Three punches of young white
turnips cooked together with their
tops and a pound Of bacon may make
delicious creole dish called pepper
pot" A half dozen of the long, slim,
sweet red peppers are put in whole.
and an hour before serving the pot"
dumplings Of cornmeal are added. The
science of this dish lies in the way it is
cooked. 1t is boiled down till not a
drop of water is left, everything lying
at last in a plentiful bath of the bacon
fat. You may be sure II is hot with
pepper. It may indeed make you cough
several times. But, oh, how delicious!
Chicory-Chicory Is one Of the most
wholesome Of the spring salads. The
heads with white hearts are the ten
derest, and if liked, after taking off the
rough leaves. they may be carefully
washed and left whole for the salad.
In this case a green dish and a garnish
OF tender radishes make a pretty eff
feet. For invalids chicory Is some
times boiled in salt and water till
thoroughly tender and then drained
and served with cream sauce.

THE aulLr oE LENox.

Lenox doesn't need to plead guilty
for the evidence is all against her.
The fake economies Of this Massachu-
sets town, which. by the way. are
the false economies Of many New
England towns and cities, find her
where she cannot repeI the charge
against her OF having been criminally
negligent,
It is alleged that for twenty years
warnings have been given by insur-
ancs men. but no attention was paid
to them. and the expected happened.
When the fire occurred the fire hose
was found to be rotten, the nozzles
were too few, and the general equip
ment inadequate, although at the close
OF the fire department year it had
seven hundred dollars unexpended and
Doubtless prided itsek on its economy.
N 70 apparent enough now that
Lenox must be ashamed of the econo-
my which resulted from disregarded
counsel and negligence Of duty and
which caused a large loss Of life and
an excessive loss Of property.
There IS neither economy nor sense
in doing things as Lenox is charged
with having done them for twenty
years. This is a warning to commu-
mites who are following the same un-
comrnendabls methods.

CIRCULATION
IMPORTED CORN.

It was a real surprise to the corn
growers Of America to learn that a
cargo OF South African corn which for
size and quality compared well with
Americas best product had arrived in
New York at q cost Of IS IL cents a
bushsl with all expenses and duty
paid, which was 16 cents a bushel
cheaper than the best native corn is
selling IN that market.
However, this is no more likely to
upset the American corn trade than
the Egyptian long-hbred cotton is
likely to unbalancs the Sea-Island
cotton trade Of this country, but it
shows that America has competitor
IN the corn market and that the most
thorough cultivation by the cheapest
methods is necessary to meet the sit
uation.
II was a wholly unexpected incident
of trade, but Il is likely to make AM
erican corn growers in all parts Of the
country sit up and take notice. South

Curtains or portieres made of coarse
Russian linen. such as kitchen towels
are made of, are really stunning. OF

THE PRoEANE BOY.

We do not like to write it down
for fact, but it is an indisputable
fact that one of the products this
country has no reason to be proud Of
Is its swearing infants and youth.
Read the following from the Sa-
vannah (Ga.) News: TT is regret
table fact that profanity has become
common among the boys. 1t is not in
the least out Of the ordinary, where a
group of boys of 10 to Is years are
together upon the streets or in an open
place to play game of ball, to hear
them using oaths that might suit the
tongue Of the proverbial fishwife or
falling from the tongues Of children
Of tender years.
"Of all stupid and silly vices, pro-
family is one of the worst and most
abominable. A simple statement of
fact is much stronger than any state
ment embellished with swearwords,
and no lie Is made any the more be-
lievable by being framed in profanity.
In fact. both truth and falsehood are
weakened by swearing and taking the
Lords name in vain. Foul epithets
and comparisons are not convincing,
but are almost Invariably disgusting,
except to those making use of them.
Profanity among men seems to be
growing less and less, at least in pub
lie places and among those who may
lay claim to decency and some educa-
ton. But the habit seems to, have
firmly fixed itself upon a great many
of the boys, who may imagine it man
nish to use profanity and smoke Gig
arettes."
That's down south. you say, but it
Is Just as true of Norwich boys, or
the boys Of any other New England
city Of its size, and If the fault is so
widespread that it has reached Sa-
vannah, It IS probable that It has
reached Galveston and Heavenly
Houston and Sun kissed Toledo and
fair and beautiful Pasadena. The
small American boy with his vulgarity
and wicked words is a puzzler as the
product Of Christian civilization.

A novel yoke that might be copied

Propsr soan for Skin.

Many a girl finds difficulty in get
ting hold Of a soap that agrees with
her skin.
One that will is a cleansing and
whitening soap cream made from a
cake of pure CASTLE soap, a table
spoonful of benzoin and quart of
boiling water.
Cut the soap into thin shavings and
put them in a saucepan with the
water, cooking them until the con-
sistency Of thick cream.
Let It simmer slowly on the back of
the stove and not boil.
When nearly cold add the benzoin
drop by drop, stirring all the while.
Keep the mixture in a wide-mouth-
ed glass with a lid.

Why Rocking Chairs Move About
Room

I have often wondered why some
rocking chairs have a habit Of jour-
neying across the room as soon as you
get into them" said the observing
young women, while others are most
respectable and stay in fairly sta
tionary position. 1t took me a long
time to find out, but finally 1 have
succeeded"
DO tell me why" exclaimed her
friend. ri never could figure it out"
TT is simply this: The two rockers
are not perfectly alike in every point
there IS a trifle more curve to one than
the other, consequently one travels
faster than the other, and the chair
keeps shifting its position. This, at
least, is the explanation a chair man
ufacturer gave me. and guess 1 shall
accept tat least until find one that
satisfies me better"

RIGHT Way to Use Oatmeal for Skin

Constantly the advice is given to use
bran and oatmeal for softening and
whitening the skin, yet comparatively
few women know how to use it to the
best advantage.
The dry meal can be used on the
moistened hands as is soap, but better
effects are gained by making 1t into a
wash or lotion.
This Is easily done by boiling a large
handful Of the meal in enough water
to form a thin Cruel
The liquid is then strained and used
slightly more diluted when the hands
IRE washed
AS these washes quickly sour 1t is
well not to make too large quantity
at once.
To save trouble keep a small alcohol
lamp in the bathroom and boil the
Cruel in a. tin vessel just large enough
to hold the desired amount.
1t can be strained through squares
Of old muslin, which are later thrown
away.

AN EXPENSIVE REPRESENTA-.
TIVE.

In his first year in the New York

a law. Last year he introduced rs,
all of which died in committee. His

increase in his output. 1t was the
