Ancient Spectacle Makers.

The ancient Guild Of Spectacle Max

London companies. Its charter dates
from the year 1629 and. though the ex-
act date Of its origin Is lost. there IS
ample evidence that the calling Of
spectacle maker was extensively fol-
lowed at Il very early date. An old
book Of 1868 mentions the spectacle
makers among other traders. and the
biography Of Carlo ZenO. an illustriOus

that even at the age Of eighty -four he
needed no artificial aids to his sight.

Potatoes for Soup.

The majority of cooks have little
idea Of the value OF the common po-
tato as a food. One Of the most ap-
petizing soups that can be made is
one using the potato.
Potato Stew-Cut up a slice Of salt
pork in fine bits and brown; add three
small onions and when light yellow
in color add a half dozen small pota-
toes and a quart Of boiling water;
cook until the vegetables are tender,
add quart of milk and a few crack
ers, season to taste and serve hot.
Potato Soup.-Cook two potatoes I'M
til tender in little water, drain, mash
the potatoes and add a quart of hot
milk which has been scalded with a
slice Of onion or a Glove OF garlic
Cook tablespoonful of -four with a
tablespoon Of butter and add to the
milk for a binding. Season with salt,
pepper and chopped parsley.
Serve with croutons made by toast
ing buttered bread cut in small cubes.
An egg well beaten added at the last
to a potato soup makes a great addi
ton.
Cream Of Potato Soup.-Mix one cup
of mashed potato with a pint of hot
milk; add a cup of white sauce, sea-
son with salt, pepper, celery salt and
onion juice.
Half potato and half turnip makes a
nice soup.

large potatoes and one carrot, cut in
small pieces and cook until tender.
Mash in the water in which they are
cooked. Chop a small onion and
brown In a tablespoonful of fat, add a
tablespoonful Of -four and when brown

HIS OLD FATHER SATISFIED
Discouraged Young Doctors Free Dis
pensary Work Opens Old
Mans Eyes.

Twenty years ago a discouraged
young doctor in one Of our large cities
was visited once by his old father,
who came up from a rural district to
look after his boy.
We'll, son." he said, "how are you
getting along?"
I'm not getting along at ALL" was
the disheartened answer. I'm not
doing a thing"
The old mans countenance fell, but
he spoke of courage and patience and
perseverance. Later in the day he
went with his son to the free dis.
pensary," where the young doctor
had an unsalaried position, and where
he spent an hour or more every day.
The father sat by, silent but In.
tensely interested spectator, while
twenty-five poor unfortunates received
help. The doctor forgot his visitor
while he bent his skilled energies to
his task; but hardly had the door
closed on the last patient, when the
old man burst forth:
81 thought you told me that you
were not doing anything! Why, If
had helped twenty-five people in a
month as much as you have in one
morning, I would thank God that my
life counted for something"
There isn't any money in 1t
though" explained the son somewhat
abashed.
Money!" the CID man shouted, still
scornfully. Money! What is money
in comparison with being of use te
your fellowmen? Never mind about
money; you go right along at this
work every day. I'll go back to the
farm. and gladly earn money enough

Dinner Making.

Dinner Making.
A knowledge Of the composition OF
the common foods is essential for the
woman who would plan her daily
meals intelligently. There are no
fixed laws regarding the choice of
certain vegetables to serve with GER
tain meats, though some have become
associated by custom and because
they harmonic.
When fish takes the place of meat,
as 1t lacks In nutrition, the meal Ia
balanced by a rich sauce for the fish
and vegetable dessert that has consid-
cradle nutriment. On the other hand,
when serving roast pork, simple des-
sert and lighter vegetable is served.
Soup generally begins the meal when 1t
is we'll planned. Soup for dinner
should be simply a stimulant to pre-
pare the stomach for the heavier
meal.
Brown Onion Soup.-Fry three
onions brown in butter, add a tea
spoonful of sugar and four cups of the
beef broth. bring TO boil, strain and
serve.
Spiced Toneue.-Boil fresh tongue
until the skin will peel. Trim off the
roots, rub the tongue all over with q
mixture of one teaspoonful OF all
spice, half a teaspoonful each OF pep
per and ginger, then dredge with
flour. Fry a minced onion in two ia
blespoonful of butter, then brown the
tongue. Put 1t in a stew pan, add
tablespoonful of -four to the butter In
the pan and pint Of water, or
enough to make thin gravy. Pour
1t over the tongue, add half cup of
raisins and half a cup Of vinegar
Stew until tender and serve with the
gravy.
Smothered Potatoes.-To two table
spoonfuls Of suet add fourth Of cup
of onion and celery mixed. When be-
ginning to brown, add pint of cold
boiled potatoes cut in cubes. Sprinkle
with salt and pepper and add half
cup Of gravy or tomato sauce. Cover
till well steamed and serve hot.
Marlborough Pie.-Mix together two
cups of grated apples, one and half
cups of sugar, three eggs we'll beaten,
two tablespoonfuls Of melted butter
the grated rind and Juice of one lemon
and one cup of sweet cream. This Is
enough for two pies. Cover with
strips of pastry or reserve the whites
of the eggs for a meringue.
