COOKING EN- CASSEROLE.

Casserole cookery is steadily ad-
Vancing in favor, as it is an easy way
OF serving the main dish with vege-
tables. The cheapest cuts of meat,
by the long cooking and with the ad-
dition Of vegetables to flavor, make
an inexpensive dish.
Chicken is delicious cooked and
served en- casserole.
Clean and separate the chicken at the
Joints, roll in -four and fry in butter
or pork fat until brown on both sides.
Put the joints into the casserole, add
a pint of stock which is made by
stewing the wing tips and neck, cook
an hour and half, then add parboiled
potatoes and carrots, the potatoes in
balls and the carrots cut in slices;
brown In butter before adding to the
dish. A few mushrooms are a decided
Improvement in the dish. Cover and
cook until the vegetables are tender,
then serve from the casserole.
A boiled dinner is delicious cooked
In a casserole, and so. of course, not
boiled, but baked. The cabbage and
potatoes are parboiled, as well as the
carrots and turnips, before adding to
the pork in the casserole. Cover with
the liquor that the carrots were
cooked in and bake until all the vege.
tables are soft.
Pigeons en- Casserole.-Clean care
fully without cutting up. and stuff each
with bunch Of celery, which may be
removed before serving. Parboil for
half an hour in water to cover, and
use the same water to cook them in
after putting in the casserole.
Vegetables may be added II desired,
though the celery flavor is sufficient
to make fine favored dish. Season
when the pigeons are put to cook in
the oven, and when tender remove and
use the gravy, thickened for a sauce,
to pour around them when serving.

HOT WEATHER DISHES.


Fruit drinks, salads and meat sub
stitutes are dishes we are looking for
during the hot days Of summer.
There is no drink which quite takes
the place of the old-fashioned lemon
ade, and none next to pure cold water
which quenches the thirst SO efectu-
ally. A very nice drink may be pre-
pared from q lemon and two oranges
for quart Of water. Bruise a bunch
OF mint, and let It diftuse in the Juice
for an hour or two, then remove and
add the water; sugar to taste and a
sprig Of mint and a slice Of lemon and
orange to each glass.
A delicious dessert is one in which
musk melons, cut in halves and seeds
removed. are placed on paper doilies
on q small plate. Fill these fruit
cups with ice cream and garnish with
few pieces of canton ginger to SIM
ulate seeds. This is truly delightful
dessert.
Another equally delicious dessert,
though not as beautiful in appearance,
is grape Juice parfait
Boil third Of cup OF grape Juice
and three-fourths of a cup OF sugar
until 1t hairs when dropped from a
spoon. Pour in a fine stream upon
the whites of two eggs beaten stiff.
To one and fourth cupfuls of double
cream add half cup of grape Juice
and the Juice Of lemon; beat until
firm. Fold the two mixtures together
and mold. Cover securely and pack
In equal measures Of salt and ice.
When unmolded sprinkle with chopped
pistachio nuts.
When serving watermelon, cut the
melon crosswise and use a large spoon
to cut out cones Of the melon, remov-
ing the seeds before serving. A grape
leaf may be used for a dolly on each
plate.
The simple French dressing is so
easily made and SO much more pala-
table and nutritious than the boiled
dressings. It should be oftener on our
tables.
The great. reason that so many peo-
pie object to olive oil is no doubt be-
cause they have been served with an
inferior oil. There is no economy in
purchasing a poor oil for the table.
Olive oil should have a sweet, nutty
favor and odor, and a slightly green
ish color.

Nothing poina but Talk.

The following is told of a federal
official, formerly a senator of the
United States from Kentucky.
In the days Of his youth the Ken
tuckian was asked by a friend to Sec
ond him in a duel. He consented, and
at sunrise the parties met at the ap-
pointed place.
Now it was this Kentuckian's duty
to say the last words touching the
terms of the duel. But, although he
faithfully performed this duty, the
duel never took place.
A murmur of why not?" invariably
goes round whenever this story is
told, whereupon the answer is as fol-
lows:
For very simple reason. When
Joe finished speaking it was too dark
for a duel."-Chicago Journal.

A dainty table is a necessity. and a
dainty person is another; both may be
kept with a little care. If the table
is slightly use doilies instead Of a
cloth, and save the ironing OF large
linen; a few doilies are easily laun-
dered.
Another help to busy housekeeper
is having the family on time at meals,
being late is only habit and a good
one to break.
Take a few hours each day for rest

Resting Must Be a Business.

Will M. Ross, a well-known writer
Of Stevens Point, Wis, who is himself
a cured consumptve, holds that un-
less resting becomes business to the
tuberculosis patient, he might as well
give up his fight for health. The pc.
riod of infection with tuberculosis, "
he says, "is not a vacation. It is a
twenty-four-hour-a-day Job. True 1t is
a period of idleness, but one of intel
ligent, directed idleness. The days
work should consist of rest; rest
should be the only business on hand.
The light exercise, or hour of read
ing, should be considered as the re-
ward Of good days work, like the
evening Of slippered ease to the tired
business men at the end of the day.
This recreation, however, should be
considered only as an incidental re-
suit of the patients work, not the
main object"

THE SUNDAY DINNER.

The Sunday dinner in most homes
is little more elaborate than an ordi-
nary dinner. as there is no need for
hurry, and the family are all at home
to enjoy It. For the busy mother
with no one to help her, big Sunday
dinner has no especial charm, for she
needs the day Of rest as much as any
member Of the family. One may have
roast that has been cooked the day
before and reheated for Sunday, or a
veal loaf may be prepared and served
cold. The salad may be all ready to
put together on Saturday. and des-

few minutes, then mash and season.
