MADE OF CHICKEN
APPETIZiNo DISH EASILY PRE-.
PARED BY YOUNG WIFE.
Tho Name Originated From the
Earthen Crock In Which French
Cooks Put Their Chicken
After Browning.

Chicken Marmite-Thts Is a very
pretentious and yet easy dish for the
young wife to attempt. Choose a good
roasting fowl of about three and a half
to four pounds. Dismember It and
soak after thorough washing In clear,
cold water. Dredge the pieces slightly
with -four, salt and pepper lightly and
brown d~elicately In Lard or olive oil
Then put them in a deep aucepa
and cover with the stock, which must
be prepared beforehand by boiling the
neck, giblets and feet of the bird In
water with an onion and savord herbs.
Set the 'vesseT~ over a slow fire and
o covered, adding, when a quarter
done, n large ripe tomato, a green
pepper denuded of seeds and quite a
quantity of paprika. Half a Glove of
garlic cooked from the beginning with
the chicken will add to the taste. 1t
must be thoroughly tender when done,
but not in rags, and plain boiled rice
tanks the dish admirably. Marmite
Is the name of the earthen crock In
which French cooks prepare chicken
IN this manner, n sometimes the
fowl is put into it whole after the pre-
hminary browning.
Roast Loin of Lamb With Green
Peas-Have the butcher leave the Kid
ney and fat on and skewes the piece

WAYS TO COOK HAM
PREPARED IN SOUTHERN STYLE
MEAT is DELICIOUS.
Maryland Has a Recipe That is
Slightly Different From Method ~
Which Dixie Housewives
Prepare 10.

There are few more delicious dishes
than Virginia ham cooked as the Dixie
housewives cook it. If you have been
fortunate enough to get a Virginia
ham cured as they cure it you are to
be congratulated.
Soak in cold water over night. or,
If very salty. for "a hours, then scrub
thoroughly and put to boil In cold wa
ter. Cook very slowly until tender.
Remove the skin, which should come
OF easily; then prepare a dressing
made from one beaten egg, two
spoonfuls brown sugar and rolled
cracker or bread crumbs, all beaten
together. and spread oxer the ham.
Sprinkle literally with pepper and put
into a dripping pan to bake. Pour a
pint of sherry over the ham and bake
and haste until the wine is absorbed
and the top of the ham well Drowned.
The Maryland way of cooking ham
Is a little different. The ham is taken
from the bag, washed carefully and
soaked owe night. 1t is then put into
cold water and allowed to simmer
gently until about half done. When
taken out the ham is set aside to cool,
and when cool is skinned. A dressing
Is now made ready, consisting of a
parcel of cabbage sprouts, a handful
OF parsley and a slice or two of stale
bread run through the meat grinder.
These are all chopped fine together
and seasoned with plenty of black pep
per. Incisions are now made In the
ham with a sharp knife about an inch
apart and extending from the hook
down the whole length of the ham.
Then these gashes are stuffed to the
bone with the green's. 4 wooden
skewer CONS into play in this stufing
process. Before baking the ham is
sprinkled with a mixture of sugar and
cornmeal and then set in the oven
after adding a cupful of hot water to
the dripping pan. Bake until brown,
but without basting, as the steam will
keep the ham moist. If the water
bakes away add more from the tea

Woman Can
Elevate Man to

- N THIS age of civilization and progress the intercourse of the
SEXES is Indispensable to the welfare of society at large.
Both must take their places in the ranks and keep abreast
ga and shoulder to shoulder in the march for the cause of hui
mainly.
80 They have mutual responsibilities and each a part to per-
form to contribute to the whole and add to the sum total of
k4Is4 happiness and progress.
Woman can elevate man to a position worthy of his des-
tiny; man can exercise an influence over woman to those heights
u perfection Wherein she becomes the exemplar for all to initiate in
mobility, goodness and virtue.
Man in return has done much for woman. He has broadened and
depened her outlook On life She imb1bes from him a wider conception

~ . larger perspective beyond the narrow vista through which she
hou when alone.
a story is told of an italian nobleman who in early life married a
beautiful but wicked woman. His life W as blghted and he made a VOW
that he would never have aught to do with womankind again. He had
IN only son, and the father resolved that this boy should never set eyes

and everything else. He played so long
that at last the duke touched his
shoulder and said, I'VE are very much

\ PRAYFR FOR NfOTHER,

20 God, we offer thee praise and
benediction for the sweet ministries
of motherhood in human life. we
bless thee for our own dear mothers
who built up our life by theirs; who
bore us in travail and loved us the
more for the pain we gave; who nour-
ished US at their breast and hushed us
to sleep in the warm security of their
arms. We thank thee for their tire
less love, for their voiceless prayers,
for the agony with which they fol-
lowed us through our sins and won us
back, for the Christly power OF sacri-
flee and redemption in mother love-
We pray thee to forgive US if in
thoughtiess selfishness we have taken
their love as our due without giving
the tenderness which they craved as
their sole reward, and if the great
treasure of a mothers life is still
spared to us, may we do for her fee
bleness what she did for ours.
Eve remmeber before thee all the
good women who are now bearing the
pan and WEAKNESS of maternity. Be
with them in their travail, and grant
them strength of body and mind for
their new tasks. Widen their vision
that they may see themselves not as
the mothers of one child alone, but as
the patriot women of their nation,
who alone can puild up the better fu-
ture with fresh and purer life. Put
upon the girls of our people the awe
of their future calling that they may
preserve their bodies and minds in
purity and strength for the holy task
to which the future may summon
them.
"Bestow thy special grace, we be-
seech thee, on all women who have
the yearnings of motherhood, but
whose lives are barren of its joys. If
any form of human sin has robbed
them of the prize of life, grant them
anger and valiant hearts to
fight this sin on behalf of those who
come after them. Help them to over
come the bitterness of disappointment,
and to find an outlet for their furs-
trated mother-love in the wider min
to all the lonely and I'M
mothered hearts in thy great family
on earth"

TWISTED ENGLISH.

1t is easy to be funny in print a
misplaced phrase or letter, even d
misplaced comma. may make a great
difference in sentence and may
change serious, dignified idea into
ont that viii inspire laughter Take,
for instance, the extract from a brides
letter. Your beautiful clock has been
received and is now in the drawing
room on our mantelpiece, where we
hope to see you often"
The greatest sinners in this respect
have been newspaper advertisements.
There is something ghastly in the an
nouncement that No person who has
once tried our air-tight caskets will
ever use any other" while the seaside
hotel advertisement that This hotel
will be kept by the widow of the for
mer landlord, Mr.. Brown, who died
last summer on a new and improved
plan" shows an attempt to make the
best of the circumstances and be
cheerful
But as has been said, the daily pa
pers furnish the greatest number of
funny twists of the Eanglish language.
There is Lost, a dark-green lady's
pocketbuok," and "Wanted--Girls to
sew buttons on the second story of
Smith & Jones factory"
Then there is the letter Of an indig-
nant youth who was bitten by a dog,
and wrote as follows: The dog, | un-
derstand, belongs to a magistrate who
resides in the neighborhood and is al
lowed to wander on the road unmuz-
zled, and yet sits on the bench in judg-
ment of others"
There is a delicious humor in the
description of the youth man who
sold peaches with red hair" while
there is better feeling than English in
the acknowledgements of the Oklahoma
editor who expressed his thanks for
basket of fruit in this strain: we
have received a basket of oranges
from our friend Fred Bailey for which
he will please accept our compliments
some Of which are nearly six inches

Siena, Queen Blanche of France, Isa-
bella of CASTLE, Mary of Burgundy
and others, all worthy successors of
the valiant women of the Old Testa-
ment, prove most clearly. If in Cath
Ollie times such could be at even the
helm of state, it is only reasonable to
look into those times for women using
their baronial and manorial rights,
and is not surprising to find them
doing so.
The reporter of the French bill went
on to say that the loss-of their rights
by women comes from the revolution
This changed the stately movement Of
political action in which a woman
could bear herself nobly, into the tu-
mutt and confusion, lasting to the
present, in which no self-respecting
woman will care to mingle. Striving
