MADE FROM SPINACH
DISHES THAT ARE HEALTHY
AND PALATABLE.
Subrics of the Vegetable Are Recon-
mended as an Excellent Prepare
ticn-Croustades Also Popular
Served With Butter.

Subrics of Spinach-Chop two
pounds OF cooked spinach, throw 1t
into hot butter, add salt and pepper
to taste and one tablespoonful OF
flour: let this cook for six or seven
minutes, then take it off the fire and
add three well-beaten eggs. MIX
them with the spinach, and spoonful

of melted butter to fry them. Turn
the subrics from one side to the other
and let them cook for three or four
minutes; strain and serve them with
a good white sauce.
Croustades of Spinach-Cut some
bread into the shape of hearts, and
slit them all around, then fry them in
hot butter. Arrange the hearts IN the
form Of rosette. Next cut round
of bread, which slit in the same way,
and place it in the center over the
points of the hearts. Fry them till
they are a golden brown, then cut
out the interior, take out all the
crumb and fill the space left with
cooked spinach.
Spinach with Butter-Take two
pounds of freshly picked spinach,
wash 1t we'll in two or three cold wa
tiers, then drain 1t thoroughly and put
it into a clean saucepan with four
heaping tablespoonfuls of butter and
two tablespoonfuls of -four that have
been cooked together but not disco+
ored, cover the saucepan and let the
spinach cook in this way till drawn
down to a creamy consistency, which
will take about twenty minutes. then
rub it through a fine sieve and then
return it again to the saucepan, add
to it three tablespoonfuls of cream, re
boil, add a dust of white pepper and a
very little salt, dish up and garntsh
it round with little croutons of fried
bread or little pieces Of puff paste that

LACK OF ART OF OBSERVATION
Experiments Have Proved That Few
Really Take Reliable View of
Surroundings.

How many people whom you meet
IN everyday life observe as much as
they ought?
If you think it easy, try this: Ask
some member of your family about
some object which they are accus-
toned to see. For instance, a picture.
AS, which way the head faces, right
or left. Seven out of ten will be I'M
able to tell correctly.
The writer filed the office of leo
turer in the grange for some time, and
for an experiment one evening asked
a number Of questions about the hall
in which the meetings are held:
On Observation night" as it was
called, some sixty members were in
attendance. For a starter, they were
asked which way the Indian head on
the common cent faced, right or left.
Only two could tell.
Two doors leading to a balcony were
next brought to mind. A knob on one
door opened both. They were asked
on which door this knob was located.
Two gave the correct answer while
~ gave Lu6 WIOuB uOOT.
The number Of pictures on the walls
of the diningroom was next ques-
toned. Not one, not even the janitor,
could tell. They all gave nearly twice
the correct number, which was
twelve.
Is there a telephone pole squarely
in front of the hall? was next asked.
A brother said there was. An
other brother said he thought it
was squarely in front, but a little to
the left. Both brothers were positive
they were right and caused no little
merriment for the rest. More merri-
ment was caused by the report Of a
committee that the nearest pole was
to the right of the hall.
All these objects had been seen by
those present probably hundreds of
times, but they hadn't noticed them
enough to remember about them.
Now, dear reader, when you meet a
friend on the street, just ask him
which way the head on a five-cent
piece faces, left or right Ten to one
he won't know.
Ask all your friends observation
questions" little things that they
should notice. Before you are aware
of the fact you will be observing many
things you never noticed before, and
you will enjoy life more for having no
ticed them.-American Magazine.

Was Fun to Choose.

A number of drivers of racing cars
who we're in Louisville to participate
in the motor races we're present at
a luncheon in honor of one of the
leading contestants, who told several
automobile stories.
But my best story" said the racer,
lis about a taxicab chauffeur. This
man was discharged for reckless
driving and so became motorman on
a trolley car.
las he was grumbling over his fall
en- fortunes friend said:
"'Oh, what's the matter with you?
Can't you run over people just as
much as ever?'

formerly i could pick, and choose. ."

That Story In Coal.

Coal costs $3.50 at the mines. says
the Trenton Times. The miner and
mine owner have taken their earnings
or profits. Then comes the shipper,
who puts on from $40 to $1.85 and
turns it over to the railroad company,
where another $40 is added for car
rying it about 100 miles. The retailer
charges $1.30 for unloading, screen
ing, reIoading, hauling and putting it
into the consumers cellar-often by
means of bags. By adding these fig
ures one may understand why he
must pay 81 per ton. The middle
men and the railroads get practically
one-half.
