 Sings Blitheiy.

| The old farmer came in from milk ing and found his son dreaming, with the bright sun shining on his pillow.
 Boy" he shouted sternly. this is no time to be sleepingi After this you must get up with the lark"
 "All right, dad" yawned the young ster, after this I will.'
 The next morning the old farmer came in from his milking and found his son sitting on the stile singing as blithely as if there was no such thing as work.
 Why. boy" stormed the exasper- ated sire, this is worse than sleep ingi What do you mean by loafing on that stile and singing at the top of your voice?"
 The lad grinned.
 Well. dad, you told me to be like the lark. and that's all he does when he gets up early"

 ''I had the honor to be among those friends. and I never wearied of the great Norseman's wit and wisdom.
 .'The last thing he said to me, in cautioning me not to give an impor- tant provencal agency to an easy going man of the world. was this:
 Beware of the easy-going man. An easy-going man, you know. is one who makes the path of life very rough and difficult for somebody else'"

 Dushane lying lazily. on the marble bench by the fountain could see Julia as she swept down the long shaded walk with the vista of the terraced gardens at the end. She was in shimmering green with a necklace and belt of turquoise. Behind her strutted a peacock with outspread tail Dushane's artistic eye gloated over the perfection of the picture. You beauties" he murmured under his breath.
 Julia, coming nearer. said. 'T knew I should find you here You are al ways lazy in the afternoons. Other men play tennis-but you" She shrugged her shoulders.
 Would you like to have me play tennis-now? he asked.
 She shook her head.
 ''No. you may talk to me-"
 What shall I talk about?"
 She gave him a swift glance. "As if you didn't know" she murmured.

TO COOK CHICKENS.
NEW RECIPES THAT SOUND LIKE
 GOOD EATING.
Boiled Chicken Mold, BroiIed Cole Chicken, ScaIIoped Chicken and Chicken croquettes Offer a
 Great Variety.

Boiled Chicken Mold-This is an
 excellent dish and one which would be found most useful for busy day.
 Select a fricasse fowl and have the
 butcher save the neck long and cut the
 nails from the feet Skin these by
 soaking them a few minutes in hot wa.
 ter, dismember the rest of the fowl
 and boil all together until the flesh is tender enough to pick to pieces with
 the fingers. During the boiling, sea
 son the chicken with one large Der
 muda onion, several stalks of celery,
 parsley, cayenne and salt. When done
 and cool enough to handle, pick all the flesh from the bones, feet, neck, etc..
 and discard the skin. Chop fne-to
 almost a paste-and pack in mold,
 pouring in some of the boil-water be-
 tween each layer of chicken. Cover
 tightly and set on the ice. Turn on a cold dish and serve with a trimming of canned pimentos. Only water
 enough to cover the chicken must be used for the boiling or the mold will not harden. The boil-water must be rich enough to form jelly.
 Broiled Cold Chicken.-Here is al good way to vary the monotony of cold fowl, whether boiled or roasted: Take the half or quarter which has not been cut into and rub it over with marin ade of two tablespoonfuls of vinegar and one of lemon juice. Put the fowl between two plates and set aside for three hours. Then rub the oil and ;+ ;,, and then in fine toasted crumbs; set on the ice for an hour. and broil over a medium hot fire, turning often. Make a gravy of melted butter with chopped parsley and a few drops of lemon juice and pour over the dish.
 Scalloped Chicken.-Mix two cup | fuls of nicely seasoned chicken. minced finely, with cupful of boiling | oyster liquor, or as much tomato juice. Stir in six chopped mushrooms, the pounded yolk of two hard-boiled eggs and two tablespoonfuls of cream. Add finely toasted bread crumbs and more cream if needed to make a soft paste. Pack in large clam shells or in bak- ing dish, put nuts of butter on top | and cook covered for fifteen minutes; then uncover and brown lightly. Cold lamb, duck or boiled veal may be pre- pared in the same way, with the sub stitution of good stock for the oyster or tomato juice.
 Chicken Croquettes-Stir cupful of minced cold chicken and the same quantity of sweetbreads together; these last boiled and blanched and al- so minced finely. Add drawn butter o- a little chicken stock thickened lightly with flour. Heat in a vessel set in another containing boiling wa ter, and when heated through take from the fire and add a cupful of cream (with a pinch of soda stirred in) and the beaten yolk of two eggs. Mix we'll, set in a cold place until solid; then mold in round or oblong Dip these in beaten egg, then in crumbs and fry rich browu u boiling cottonseed oil or lard.

Changes of Time.

Ashley-It is wonderful how some people are changed by time. There's Doofer, for instance; I remember when he was unable to keep single job-all his employers fired him just as soon as they possibly could. But for the last five years he has been working steadily. He is employed by a man who refuses to let him leave for any cause whatever. Several times Doofier has attempted to get away, but on each occasion the employer has headed him off and made him come back
 Seymour-Who is the employer?
 Ashley-Mr. Lockhart, the warden of the penitentiary.

her neck, making a thousand little ineffective feminine movements, that she was not unlike the peacock preen- ing itself in the sunshine. At his silence she pouted. You're not inter estine." she said. '1 am going to leave you and find somebody who can talk"
 He let he- go. wondering why he did so, yet held from the declaration of his feelings by some intuition. When he was again alone he became conscious of a little sound in Nthe stiffness; a soft song sung in a quavering voice. He rose. followed the sound. and came upon a little summer house set at the foot of the vegetable garden. In it a little old lady sat with big pan in her lap into which she was shelling peas Dushane laughed delightedly. Why, Mrs Worthington-" he said Who would have believed it?"
 The little old lady rose hurriedly, and the peas flew in all directions. "Oh. what would Julia say If she knew you saw me?" she gasped.
 She was a quaint little figure. Her modish black chiffon gown was GOV cred with a big, white apron: her hair, dressed with jeweled combs. was piled high on her head, and she had pcrched on it an old straw hat to shade her eyes.
 Julia doesn't like to have=ne do anything in the kitchen" she faltered. You know Julia has been away to school, and since we got the big house she wants us all to live like people in the city; but I''-she drew a quick breath-'T have always shelled peas. and done such things, and I cannot get used to idleness."
 'T know" he added, "my mother loves housewifely things. In our place in Virginia she Is out in the garden half the time"
 "Oh, is she" The little lady's tone was eager. T wish you would tell Julia, she thinks ladies-like your mother-do not do such things"
 Dushane knew now the cause of his instinctive suspicion of Julia's beauty. He had felt behind it there was lack of character and a snobbishness that was plebeian. His own lineage was unquestioned. but the women of his family had been proud of their gardens, their kitchens and of their housewifely domab

GOOD CAKE IS RARE
RULES THAT WILL HELP IM-
 PROVE COOKS WORK.
That Few Families Know What Gooo Cake ls. Is Statement That Will Be Resented, But It Is None
 the Less True.

Few families know what good cake
 Is. This statement will be resented,
 but is none the less true. It is equal
 Iy true that few professional cooks
 make as good cake as that baked by
 the mistress of the house or one of her daughters.
 As every one should know how to bake delicious cake whether she makes use of it or not, here are a few rules that are essential:
 Use the best materials So-called cooking butter and stored eggs will make poor cake, and let no economi- cal one persuade you otherwise.
 What is known as soft A sugar makes a cake of nicer grain than granulated or powdered sugar. In measuring stint rather than heap up the cup or the batter is coarse grained.
 Baking powder should be measured by gently rounding. not heaped or flat, teaspoonfuls. With sour milk recipes use baking soda and cream of tartar rather than baking powders.
 Never guess at measurements. Most recipes give exact roportions-which a good cook sometimes modifies. A cup, when not defined, usually means the stone china kitchen coffeee cup that holds a little more than half a pint
 The richer the milk the better the cake. More than is called for Is oft en permissible to keep the batter from getting too thick
 Stinting four is the secret of good cake. Few realize this. as can be told by two persons making up the same recipe with results totally diff ferent for the cook who is heavy on flour. It is safe to allow a quarter to half cup less flour on most recipes.
 Judgment is important in cake mix ing. Flours differ in heaviness and eggs in size; therefore to keep the batter from being too stiff see that it runs easily from the spoon, yet is not "runny." Thinning must be done before baking powder and whites of eggs are in.
 Have all ingredients ready before to mix a cake. Once start ed it should go into the oven quickly. One mixing bowl and two smaller ones for eggs will be needed; also a wooden paddle and wire egg beater Sift into batter before measuring and put into batter through sitter.
 Get ready pans before starting cake. There is but one sure way to prevent sticking-paper the bottoms of pan l and grease it, not the pan, which isl only buttered on the edge. Many per sons use lard for greasing, but butter never tastes.
 Papering is no trouble if ten cents | worth of yellow wrapping paper is bought and cut in leisure moments to 1t your various shaped pans. Keep in an air-tight box in the kitchen closet. |
 A good cake baker makes sure that her cake pans are not used for other purposes by keeping them under lock. In the same place have all the uten- sils needed and there will be no de- ays. Here also have an extra supply of baking powder. flavoring extracts. | chocolate and the special sugar used. Do not get more than five pounds at l time of the latters and see that it s rolled and sifted before using.
