MEATS AND VEGETABLES.

Stewed chicken without mashed pc
tatoes and pork without apple sauce
lose half their zest.
With roast meats sweet potatoes are
appropriate, as are squash, tomatoes,
asparagus and stewed onions.
Baked macaroni is a fitting accompa-
niment to roast. So are brussels
sprouts and scalloped or creamed cauli-
flower.
Squads and all game have lettuce
with French dressing served with
them, and lettuce must be eaten with
Virginia ham.
Fried onions fairly cry aloud for a
juicy beefsteak, and roast beef with
out potatoes Drowned under the meat
never tastes quite the same.
It is no longer correct to serve more
than two vegetables with the meat
course, though with poultry cranber-
ries are counted as an extra.
Certain meats are as closely allied to
certain vegetables as is the long meter
doxology to "Old Hundred" To sep
arate them seems almost desecration.
Potatoes are an accommodating sort
Of vegetable. They are good with oil
meats, though their digestibility when
served more than once day is ques-
tionable.
Turnips, carrots, parsnips and cab
bage are generally eaten with boiled
meats, while peas, beets, beans, corn
and tomatoes are good with either boil
ed or roasted meats.
Celery should never be omitted when
serving poultry and is an invariable
accompaniment OF soup. 1t is specially
good for the nerves and is fittingly
served with all meats.
Rice should be served with stewed
chicken. Roast duck demands both
apple sauce and stewed onions. Tur-
key without cranberries would be Al
Iost as venison without cuTrant jelly.

Wonderful Caetuses.

The largest cactuses in the world are
those to be found in parts Of Mexico.
The curious bristling plants common
in greenhouses and even in botanical
collections give but poor idea OF the
size and beauty of this variety. 1t is
common, for example, to h2d a single
plant growing to a height OF eight or
ten feet which will w"igh several hun
dred pounds. The ca, uses grow in
bewildering variety Of forms and col
ors. Their blossoms are corresponding

Gratis among baking dishes from the

the name he gave it or the section OF

times. It's always on the watch
When l got it there was affixed TO it,
like a button on a foil, one joint of a

run into the vertebrae. given savage
twist and brought away with it piece

AS he spoke he approached the gilt

Don't touch it!" cried. You
ought to keep it in a locked box
He didn't touch it, so far as l saw.
but as he raised his hand the knife
dropped Ike a plummet and stood
quivering in the floor within an inch

there without moving a muscle until

NEW THINGS IN CHINA.
A Dainty Dish on Which to Serve
Sliced Lemon,

No matter how much china or glass
ware the average housewife possesses
she Is always on the alert for some
thing new or more convenient than
her present supply. Particularly does
this apply to designs for special serv-
ice such as relish and entree dishes.
In the accompanying sketch are shown
some of the most recent productions of
this character. all of them practical.
The relish rack. which emanates from
England, is on the order OF the stands
so much in vogue for serving cakes
and sandwiches at o'clock tea, par
ticularly at lawn parties, to which
the English are so partial. Each of
the three dishes is in the form of
fish. the coloring being dull green and
coral. They are supposed to hold some
variety of fish relish
Sliced lemon is the essential accom-
paniment of many dishes, particularly
in the line of sea food. and for its spe-
cial service a plate Of crystal with a
border of filigree silver Overlay has
made its appearance. A silver fork is
added.
