HOW TO COOK ONIONS
THEY NEED NOT ALWAYS BE
PLAIN BOILED OR FRIED.
Formula for stuffins Them With sau-
sage and Eeg-varlatlon In Pre-
pairing Potatoes and caull-
flower.

The days are here when the average
housewife who must cater for herself
is put upon her mettle as a marketer.
Onions we always have with us.
and they are excellent in other ways
besides plain boiled or fried, as they
commonly figure in the household
plan. For instance, they can be
stuffed, the sweet Bermuda onions be-
ing specially good for the purpose.
Here is one popular formula:
Large specimens are selected and
boiled until nearly tender, but not
quite SO. The inside is taken out,
leaving Just a shell. Mince the part
taken out with three cooked sausages.
hard-boiled egg, two tablespoonfuls
OF bread crumbs, seasoning as liked,
an ounce of butter, four drops OF ta-
basco and little minced parsley.
The shells are filled with this mixture,
cracker crumbs scattered over the top.
a tiny bit of thin bacon is put on
each. after which they are baked 30
minutes. or until agreeably soft.
Potatoes, the dependable. have the
culinary virtue of being infinitely vari-
able. For instance, when boiled and
baked and fried they have become a
little wearisome and the homely tu-
bers are no longer young enough to
carry a sauce gracefully, try them
baked with eggs. For a moderate
sized dish in this style you will need
four cold-boiled potatoes and six hard
boiled eggs, all cut in slices about a
fourth of an inch thick.
Put a layer of the potatoes in the
baking dish, which must be well but
tered, seasoning with salt and pepper,
and cover with a layer of the eggs.
Repeat this, and pour over the result
two cups of thin white sauce. Cover
with cracker crumbs soaked in butter,
and bake until brown on top.
For those to whose digestions the
sturdy sausage filings would be anath-
ema, this more delicate method may
appeal.
Cook and scoop out the vegetables
as before, but stuff with q filling made
of equal parts of chicken (cooked),
soft stale bread crumbs, and the re-
moved part of the onions. This
should be slightly seasoned with salt
and pepper, If liked, and is to be
moistened with little cream or melt
ed butter. Sprinkle with crumbs
soaked in butter and bake as de-
scribed above.
In cooking caulifower, try simmer
ing it tender in half milk and half
water, it greatly improves the flavor
and appearance of the flower. After
ward the liquor, which will have
boiled down in the process, for this
vegetable should never be cooked
with the lid on the vessel, may be
thickened with butter and flour. after
which one has tasty sauce with
out further trouble.

7houehtJohnShern1an a Thief

meeting. the word having been passed
along that John Sherman would be
there, and at the proper moment, the
presiding elder arose and said:
Brethren, the Lord be praised that we
have this great meeting; the Lord be
praised that John Sherman, brother OF
General Sherman, whom SO many OF
you remember, is with us tonight.
John Sherman is President Hayes's
treasurer of the United States. All
the millions and millions of dollars
the government has passes through
his hands-sometimes three or four
million dollars day. Now, you can't
expect a man to have millions of dol
lars pass through his hands without
having some of the money stick to
them. And SO l say, Brother Sher-
man. let us colored Methodists have
some of the money that has stuck to
your hands; put 1t in the contribu-
ton box to help along the school we
are going to endow.'
The appeal created great shout
ing of 'Amen!' But It 30 happened
that at the last moment an imperative
matter, tQdt Cduc up ouduShiy' hiauS
It necessary for Mr.. Sherman to stay
away from the meeting, He insisted,
however, that some of the subordi-
mates who were with him should at
tend the meeting. This they did, and
to their unconcealed Joy when they
heard the accusation SO ingenuously
made that government money had
stuck to John Sherman's hands. And
when the contribution box passed be-
fore them they felt SO grateful to the
presiding elder that they put many
dollars into it.
After the meeting was over they
could not get back to Secretary Sher-
man fast enough to tell him what the.
colored brother had said about him.
For moment Mr.. Sherman was great
ly disturbed, but when he learned all
the circumstances surrounding the ac-
cusation. he, too. was intensely
amused. At last he asked
"T hope you put some money into
the contribution box?
"They told him that they did.
"sThen that is sufficient John Sher-
man replied drily. That will wipe
away the stain of the government
money that has stuck to my hands

African Methodists of Atlanta Wanted
"Some of the Money That Had
Stuck to the Hands" of
Their Guest.

Once in his long career as mem
Der of congress, secretary of the
treasury, and secretary Of state, John
Sherman was publicly charged with
having allowed some portion or gov
ernment money which passed through
his hands to stick to his palms. Curl
ously enough, that accusation was
made at religious meeting In the
city of Atlanta at time when MT.
Sherman was secretary of the treas
ury and visitor there. 1t Is Dit
of new news that is vouched for by
Rt. Rev. Benjamin ]. Kelley, now no
man Catholic bishop of Savannah, and
for a decade a pastor in the Georgia
metropolis.
"As is we'll known, President Hayes
was sincerely anxious to bring about
a good feeling In the SOUTH said
Bishop Kelley, and for that reason
he made former confederate leu
tenant colonel from Tennessee. David
McKendree Key, his first postmaster
general. For that reason, also, 1t was
thought advisable that Secretary OF
the Treasury Sherman, about the mid
visit the south and come into personal
touch with the business men OF that
section. His itinerary included the
city of Atlanta, which at that ume
gave promise of becoming very IN
fiuential industrial center.
ut SO happened that at the time Oh
Sherman's visit to Atlanta great
meeting of members of the African
Methodist Episcopal church was De-
ing held in the city. When the eioers
heard that the distinguished brotner
of General Sherman had reached tne
city, they Immediately got busy, ana
a committee of the colored brethren
called upon him and asked him 10
honor them by attending one OF tneir
meetings. The secretary replied ne
would be greatly pleased to attend
the meeting-and he named the one
and the hour-when he would take
onnortunitv to show his sympathy for
the work his callers were doing. j.

CARD INDEX FOR KITCHEN
Every Housewife VIII Be Glad to
Have This Service for Filing Away
Her Recipes.

The housewife whose kitchen is full
of modern appliances will hail with de-
light the new Kitchen card index for
favorite recipes, cleaning devices and
other useful information which each
new cook has to be taught.
The young housewife may start with
a few cards in small index set on
the kitchen dresser, then as she ac-
cumulates more and more useful in
formation or gets better recipes for
the same things she can discard and
enlarge her files until she has enough
to fill up one drawer or a small cabin
ct which may be put on shelf in a
convenient spot.
Then when she wants to clean some
thing and is not quite sure how to do
it, she opens the drawer, finds the
name of the article, and there is the
very latest idea, clipped perhaps from
the daily paper or supplied by friend,
telling her how to do the cleaning and
exactly what the results will be.
A small index may be made at home
out of stiff shoe b.x, or in fact any
cardboard box. divided off by strips
or cardboard with a letter clearly in
scribed at the top.
Between these 26 partitions, put
blank cards, which may be bought at
any stationer's shop, and write or
typewrite on them clearly the recipe
you want to remember, or paste your
newspaper clippings on them in al
phabetical order, and your index is
complete.

Tappt Then, Scotch Recipe.

Three-quarters pound of cheese,
four eggs, two ounces of butter, four
slices of bread, cayenne, salt; melt the
cheese with half the butter and some
seasoning in a stew pan. Make four
slices of toast, cut off the crusts and
butter them. Poach the eggs as neat
ly and evenly as possible, pour over
the toast the cheese, then on each
slice lay an egg, putting tiny piece
of butter and dust of cayenne and
salt over each. Serve very hot, suf-
ficient for four persons.

Sheen Flock Diminishing.

Because sheep need such extensive
ranges in order to get enough to eat.
sheep fiocks are uniformly diminish
ing in all countries, even in Argentina,
where sheep farming was believed to
be one of the best sources Of wealth
for an indefinite time. Only In dis
tricts where the immense area Of pas
ture land is out of proportion to the
lands available for tilling it can sheep
be kept at a profit.

Use for Coffee Cans.

Many people use the tin cans which
coffee comes in for holding other arti-
cles. To save time in loosening the
tops buy some of the knob handles
which are used on kettle covers and
screw them into the center of the can
cover.

Favor New Plant.

Inquiry today among the members OF
the board Of directors Of the Georgetown
company developed q strong sentiment in
favor Of the erection Of q new plant.
Whether the company would be able to
furnish s5-csnt gas immediately the
members Of the board were unwilling to
say. They declared, however, that gas
would be sold as cheaply as possible to
tho consumers. and that they believed
1t ultimately would be reduced to IS
cents as the field increased.
The Officers Of the Washington Gas
Company have 50 far refused to indicate
what the position Of the. company will
be in regard to the proposed reorganiza-
ton Of the Georgetown company and the
erection Of the new plant, with the OK
ception OF R. H. Goldsborough. who is
q member Of the board Of directors OF
the Washington company, who is in IA
vor of the plan.
It is understood, however. that the
Washington company will closely exam
Inc into the project to learn If It's hold
inss in the Georgetown company will be
in any way Injured II the plan goes
through.

Part Of Proposed Plan.

Part Of the plan Is to have the Wash
ington Gas Company furnish to the
Georgetown company gas while the new
Georgetown plant is building, with the
understanding that the Georgetown COM
pany will sell this gas to the consumers
at 50 cents. II this arrangement is made,
stockholders In the Washington company
say. why would it not be better plan
to continue. for a while at least, until the
field west Of Rock creek grows SO large
as to make Is necessary to erect a new
plant in Georgetown and to make the
venture an assured success.
Whether a merger Of the two companies
could be made without an act Of CONGRESS
is a question. 1t is said. About twelve
years ago an attempt was made to get
such legislation through Congress-, but II
failed. That the two companies will ulti-
mately be merged is the belief Of many OF
the stockholders, and 1t is believed that it
would result in q saving to both the COM
panies and the consumers. The merger
however. is not likely to take place in
the near future, 1t is declared.
