TESTED TIMELY RECIPES.

Editor of Social Corner: Here are a
few odd recipes that I have tried and
found to be very good:
Neck Angel Cake-Place one cup of
milk in a dipper of boiling water and
heat to boiling point. Into a sitter put
one cup flour. one cup sugar. two tea
spoons baking powder, pinch of salt;
sift together four times. Into this mix
ture pour the boiling milk and stir
until smooth. Then put in the we'll
beaten whites of two eggs. Do not
stir the mixture nor beat it. Fold the
whites in carefully. drawing spoon
through the mixture toward you, then
showing it back with the spoon. Re-
peat until the whites are evenly folded
into batter. Do not grease the tin or
flavor the cake. Bake in moderate
oven. Ice with frosting favored witt.
lemon or orange.
Monkey Egg-Soak one cup of stale
break crumbs 20 minutes in one cup o.
milk. Into q saucepan put one cup Of
grated cheese and one tablespoon but
ter. When this melts add it to. the
wellbeaten egg. salt and pepper Stir
thoroughly. pour over six slices 81
toast and serve Immediately.
Strawberry Sarabande- Whip one
cup Of thick cream until very light and
fold carefully into it one pint of straw
berries cut in small pieces. Soak one
teaspoon gelatine in a quarter of a cup
of cold water and when it is soft place
the cup it is in in a pan of hot water.
When the gelatine is all dissolved add
it, a little at a time, to the berries
and cream in such a way that it will
not become stringy. Finally add three
ia blespoons of powdered sugar. When
the sarabande begins to grow thick
turn in a mold and place on ice

when it is day old. In preparing
bread. cut the slices as thin as posi-
BILE and remove the crust.
If butter is used, it should be work
ed until creamy that it may spread
smoothly, and evenly. think to spread
the bread before cutting the slice is
much simpler
Sandwiches may be shaped in
squares, triangles, finger shaped pieces
or any shape you may fancy and may
be kept fresh for several hours if
wrapped in paraffin paper.
A Windsor filling is made by cream
ing 1-3 cup butter and add 2-3 cup
chopped cooked chicken, mixed with
1-3 cup finely chopped cold boiled
ham; season with salt and pepper to
taste.
The Fairmont filling is most deli
cious. Finely chop ga cup breast meat
from a cooked fowl, add IA cup finely
cut celery and cup rich milk. Heat
to the boiling point and add little
onion juice and 2 tablespoons butter
worked until creamy and mixed with
) TABLESPOONS flour; cook until thick
ened and add the whites of 2 eggs
beaten until stiff. Season with salt,
pepper, and a little lemon Juice Turn
into mould and let stand until cold.
Lobster sandwiches-Mix an equal
meat and the yolks of hard boiled eggs
forced through ricer. Moisten with
melted butter and season with Ger
man mustard and a small quantity of
beef extract diluted with boiling wa
ter. Salt to taste and spread between
slices of white bread
Brown bread when steamed in three
hau-pound baking powder boxes make
very attractive sandwiches. A crisp
lettuce leaf with little mayonnaise
dressing goes well with brown bread.
Lincoln Sandwiches are most popu-
lar with the men folks. Cut brown
and Whlte bread into thin slices and
spread with butter. Cut cold boiled
tongue and some cheese in thin slices
Arrange tongue over white bread, over
tongue brown bread over brown bread
cheese. then repeat. Put under a
weight and let stand several hours
cut crosswise in thin slices

Editor Social Corner: These hot

and make us long for a comfortable
seat under shady tree. try to make
my work as simple as possible now.
Here are some of the ways:
[ do my cooking in the early morn

ner and then let the fire go out so the
house will get cooled off before night
When a very hot day comes. we pre-
fer a cold dinner. and do not have
fire after nine O'Clock
Oftentimes gingerbread. cookies, or
any thing made of sour milk and soda,
may be mixed up at night. and is
ready to put in the oven when the fire
is started the next morning.
Anything raised with baking pow
der must be raised as quickly as pos
sible after mixing.
Make the cooking as simple as pos
sibIe, have plenty and in fair variety;
but do not spend valuable time in
making "fussy' dishes. Have for sup
morning.
A big sweetened johnnycake with
milk and cottage cheese makes a sup
per fit for king.
Bread, butter, sauce, and junkets or
rice. tapioca. or cornstarch pudding, or
a custard makes a supper good enough
for anybody.
This is a good rice pudding recipe.
Two cups rice, 2 cups sugar. . quarts
milk, salt and either cinnamon or
lemon to flavor Bake in moderate
oven, stirring often. until creamy.

warm wash water in the sun. Wash
clothes often, but do not iron, or starch
ANYTHING except the Sunday best Do
not boil the clothes, but wash and

Everyday clothes should be made of
easily washed material; anything that
is soft and rather loosely woven.
Wash floors in cold water. They
will dry quicker andNwill help to cool

ANSWERS TO ROSE INoUIRERs
BY r. Duane Bromley.

Rose cuttings are rooted best in a

inches deep. and something like L.,

Place it upon the bare earth in a
well sheltered spot, where it will get
the sun the whole day. Fill it with
rich, sandy loan. to within an inch
of the top, letting it stand in the
sun two days to get warm The cut
tines should be selected from new
growths, and at least foot long. Cut
them close TO the main branch. Now
take n small stick. and push it down
nearly to the bottom of the box, and
after dipping the slip in lukewarm wa
ter remove the stick, and put the
cutting down eight or ten inches,
Do not place them too near the edge
of the box, and about six inches apart.

depends upon the weather.

Under the middle of this scoop out
an ob1ong hole six inches deep. and
with a forlzed stick press it down to
the bottom of the hole. Now partly
sever the branch, close to the stick,

THE EDUCATION OF BOYS.

Billie: I sympathize with you on that
school tax grievance, but what can we
do about it?
I have a school grievance, too, or
think I have.
It would seem only Just that al
should bear part of the school burden,
thus making it lighter for us all: but
don't you know that it is MANS in
humanity to man that makes countless
thousands mourn and I think the
older we grow the more we notice the
selfshness of mankind.
have sons who graduate from the
grammar school this year, and now l
don't know what to do with them.
The average child. I think. grad
yates at about IA years of age-too
young to go to work, and circum-
stances do not permit all parents to
send their children for II four years
academic course: besides, it is not
what they require.
I have many times thought what a
blessing it would be to many children
if we only had what might be called
a stepping stone-betWeen Grammar
school and academy. where children Of
limited means or for those who desire
it. could obtain two years course of
good practical training that would fit
them to go out into the world and
make "a respectable living for them
selves. or for those dependent on them.
This in my opinion. should be a free
school for all who wish it.
We blame the young men today for
lettering on the street corners hanging
around in doorways. getting into trou-
BILE that no busy boy would ever have
time to think of, and thus time goes
on until they find employment of some
kind. generally a place that will pay
them four or five dollars a week. for
they have not the education to accept
something better.
Can any greater crime be committed
against those Young people than this
I think not. Is there no means for a
trades school in orr town. where our
Young people could get all the educa-
ton that their limited means would
allow?
Dear Centennial Square: I am sorry
for the loss to You of dear mother.

who sat in the window Of the next

stiffness became unbearable and de-
cided to go out in the yard.
I stepped out on the side porch and
as I stood there the woman at the
window dropped her sewing and open
ing her window, pointed to the large
lilac bush which stood close by the
fence in her yard, with some of it's
branches SO loaded with bloom that
they hung over into our yard.

laos that hang over your side of the
lilac bush, I must finish this work
by six tonight. and then I shall bring
you some of the white lilacs that
