CULINARY POINTERS.

In cooking, If a thick and thin mix
ture are to be combined, always pour
the thin into the thick. If a smooth
even mixture is desired.
When cooked cereals must stand
overnight of for some time before SER
wing, pour a little water over the top
This will prevent crust forming. be-
cause the surplus water will evaporate
instead of that in the cereal. Cereals
by the way, should be cooked within
close range OF the fire for the first IL
minutes. then placed over hot water;
that is, in a double boiler, and the
cooking completed slowly. BY this
method the cellular envelope which
covers the grain will be broken. the
grain separated from each other and
the starch cooked thoroughly.

NEW WALL PAPER.

The principal beauty of the new pa
pers lies in the lovely colors. Some OF
the prettiest are almost plain, but not
quite so. The absolutely plain papers
have not the depth of color and variety
that we find in those with a slight fig
ure of some kind, even If it is only a
line.
The hair-lne stripes are still with
us. but they have improved these by
breaking the stripes with tiny self
toned figures. There is one lovely
gray paper, a hair line broken here
and there with a little gray rose. a
beautiful lavender paper also has a
hair line background. but it is broken
up into diamonds. The charm lies I'm
the beautiful color.

WAY TO PREPARE RABBITS.
MAY be Cooked in Many Ways Suitable
For Chicken.

Rabbits are i'm their prime in mid
winter. and may be cooked in many
of the ways suitable for chicken or
came Epicures prefer TO have them
cooked slightly rare and juicy around
the bone, but others prefer them well
done.
If old stewing and fricasseeing are
preferable The wild rabbits are the
fayorite variety for the table. and in
some parts of the country they are
slaughtered i'm such numbers that they
may be obtained for a mere triile. The
hare. which is favorite game food in
England, is much larger than our Am
erican rabbit, but the hare of the South
is the same as the northern wild rab-
bit. In Canada descendants of the
English species are found The COM
mon expression, first catch your
hare" is said to have been ordinarily,
first skin your hare" and while this
is always done at the market for you,

valuable food go to waste. SO it Is
well to know the modus operandi.
Cut off the fore feet. then cut
through the skin all around each leg
close to the lower joint. on each hind
leg make an incision on the inside
from this first cut up to the tail, cut
ting through the skin only, then turn
the skin back until the legs are bare.
Hang the creature up by the hind legs,
and pull the skin off over the back and
down toward the head and off from the
fore legs
If you desire to cook the head,
which is considered a delicate morsel,
pull the skin to the nose, otherwise cut
off when you have freed the skin from
the neck.
Before cutting into the carcass wipe
off any hairs that may adhere to the
flesh, soak the rabbit in sailed water
to remove the slime, and pull or cut
off all the fine inner skin. Wipe dry

Horse MOrtdIityArgues
For Electric Vehicles

During the hot spell last summer
Ill horses died each day in New
York city-a total of 1,O26-all due
to the heat These horses repre-
sented over a quarter or million
dollars cash value which was en-
tirely wiped out in a single week.
In addition to this, other horses, not
affected fatally, were able to work
at scarcely half their normal, capa-
city. 1t is estimated by Selling Elec-
tricity that the money represented
by the horses which died would pay
for a sufficient number of electric
vehicles to do all of the work done
by the horses.

Electricity Often Goes
Upward from Earth

It is the general impression that
the chief value of lightning-rods is
to shield buildings from harm by
conducting electricity from the
clouds to the earth. Even intelli-
gent people are often surprised
when told that the rods secure safe
ty by allowing the electricity to es-
cape which gathers on the roofs
and sides of buildings. But the
cases where the electricity goes up
ward from the earth to the air
largely outnumber those in which
the current sets in the opposite di-
rection.
The process is very simple one.
The electric equilibrium in the air
is disturbed, and one kind Of cleo
tricity gathers in great force on the
earthward surface of the clouds.
This at once disturbs the equilib-
rum of the earth and attracts the
opposite charge Of electricity to the
earth's surface. When the tension
becomes lOO SISdI-OI' inc uuIudl
affinity becomes irresistible-elec-
tricity leaps either from the clouds
to the earth, or reversely, and for
the moment the equilibrium OF both
at that point is restored.
But If conducting points, such as
lightning-rods present. ire num-
erous enough to dissipate steadily
the force gathered on the earth's
surface, there will be no sudden
leap and no lightning shock. In
the famous experiment of Franklin
with his kite, If the lightning from
the cloud had run down the string
to the key the bold experimenter
would have suffered the penalty of
death for his rashness. But it was
only the electricity of the kite and
the string, decomposed by the at
traction of the electricity in the
cloud, that escaped by the key, and
therefore the shock was light one.
