All Over.

While work on a new building was
going on in a southern town not long
ago an old negro employed as a hod-
carrier suddenly slipped while near
ing the third story and plunged head
long to the ground. Several passers-
by rushed over expecting to find a
man dead with a broken neck, as the
old fellow had struck squarely on the
top of his head Finding the old man
still alive some one emptied the con-
tents of a whisky bottle down his
throat. In a few moments the old
negro sat up and looked around.
How do you feel now, uncle?'
asked a bystander kindly.
"Well, sah," came the reply, II wuz
sorter confused when l fust started,

To Patch Wall Paper.

1t is sometimes necessary to patch
the wall paper where it has become
defaced or torn, and the new paper
of the same pattern is much too bright

bit more" Suppose, for instance, that
your larder displays nothing much Dut
the tag ends of number OF Vege'
tables, both cooked and uncooked. Out
of these you can concoct tempting
salad that will serve as dainty main
course for luncheon or supper. Cut
the carrots into strips, the string
beans-if large-into inch lengths, the
onion into paper-thin slices, and the
potato into dice. Heap the peas, the
onion, the potatoes, and the lima
beans-if you have any, otherwise Kid
ney beans or diced beets-in the cen
ter of your salad dish, arrange them
In a circle, and add the mayonnaise
dressing in a little mound in the
middle.
An equally attractive macedonia OF
vegetables consists of canned corn
drained from the milk, diced boiled
turnips, and picked cucumbers sur
rounded by a nest. of cabbage cold
slaw. French dressing is best with
this combination.
Where you have not great variety
Of vegetables, you can make sub
stantial dish of it by adding iced cold
meats, chicken and veal being perhaps
the dainties for company, though well
done" roast pork, beef or ham can be
used in the same way. The tart Gu
cumber or tomato may be combined
to good advantage with cold boiled po-
tatoes and the meat, and picked beets
and asparagus are delicious with
chicken. Canned salmon is also very
much relished with peas, celery, let
tuce and beets. Being such an oily
combination, it is perhaps better with
plain boiled dressing, or with vinegar,
salt and pepper.
If you have little caulifiower and
two or three onions left over, they
combine deliciously when boiled, cut
UP together and served with a cream
gravy.
To turn to desserts: If you want a
really lovely dish, open a can of free
stone peaches, fill each cavity with
the shredded Hawaiian pineapple that
Is now so plentiful in the markets,
add sprinkling of chopped nuts and
serve with whipped cream.
The boarding house" prunes that
the family sheer at may also be dis
guised into the form of plum cake.
To make the batter, take two-thirds
of cupful of butter, one cupful of
sugar, three eggs, two cupfuls of flour,
four tablespoonful of milk, a quarter
of teaspoonful of soda, heaping
cupful of prunes, two teaspoonfuls of
allspice, two of cinnamon and one of
nutmeg, For this one tablespoonful
of baking powder will be required.

slant need for more room for the
farm implements and wagons. An Inn
