COOKING PEAS AND CARROTS
Many Ways Of Preparation TO Suit the
Individual Taste-Peas Served
In Turnlp Shells.

One way Of preparing peas, and for
my own taste there is none better:
Blend together two tablespoonfuls Of
butter and one tablespoonful OF flour.
one-half teaspoonful of salt and a little
pepper, for each pint of peas. When
the peas are soft stir this into the
peas and cook five minutes. In pre-
pairing them in that way all the flavor
and nutritive value of the peas are re-
tanned. Use care that there is not too
much water; there should be only
enough to cook the peas in, which is
scarcely enough to cover them.
To Cook Young carrots.-Wash and
scrape the carrots and cut in quarters
lengthwise; then holding the quarters
together place on a board and cut
crosswise through the four quarters in
one-h-lf inch pieces. Boil twenty min
utes or until soft in just enough water
to cover. They are very nice prepared
by the same recipe given for peas; and
Just before serving add two teaspoon
fuls of parsley finely minced to each
pint of carrots.
Peas and carrots.-One cup OF car
rOtS cut IN small pieces as stated ana
two cups of shelled peas. Cook the
carrots and peas together until soft.
Drain; add four tablespoonfuls of
cream and one tablespoonful of butter,
one-half teaspoonful of salt and one
eighth of a teaspooonful of pepper.
Heat over hot water and serve al soon
Rs hot.
Peas Served In Turnip shelIs.-Use
the fiat turnips for this dish and
,hoose them near of a size. Wash and
pare the turnips and with a sharp
knife scoop out the center, leaving a
shell one-half inch thick. Steam the
turnips and be careful not to overlook
them or they will fall to pieces. Put
a folded napkin in the serving dish
and place the turnips on it; shake
little salt and pepper over them, and
fill with cooked peas which have been
seasoned with butter, salt and pepper.
Do not waste the turnip which was
scooped out, but cook and mash it and
reserve for another meal.

GIVING Her Time.

Mr.. and Mrs. Nubbubs were not al
ways on good terms. It was rather
sore point with Mrs. N. that her hubby
seldom took her out, and 1t ranked.
The other evening, however, Nub-
bulbs arrived home very elated and
pleased with himself.
"My DEAR" he remarked, I'm going
to take you to the theater."
Mrs. N. rose to the occasion and
expressed her pleasure suitably.
"Yes, I've got the tickets, and it's
a fine piece. Next Tuesday week s
the date"
How splendid" echoed the lady,
"Yes," he chimed, "and you might
begin to get ready at once!"

Esuer to HeIp.

He-My dear Miss Gladys, l have
been converted, but I find there are
some things must do. The minister
has told me, for instance, that where
have done wrong, must make resti-
tuition.

that cannot always be done. For min
listers ask hard things.
He (doubtfully)-Now. Miss Gladys,

She (promptly)-Well,I suppose you
ought to do what the minister tells
you.

YOUNG MEN IN THE SADDLE
Comparative Youths Are Just Now
Guiding the DestInles OF the
Great British Empire.

Lord Haldane, who has Just been
made lord chancellor of England, is
exceptionally young for the post. He
was born in 1859, remarks the New
| York Sun. He is the youngest mem.
| ber of the house of lords tribunal-the
| final court of appeal-younger than
any of the appeal judges, and he has
only two juniors on. the chancery
bench and three on the kings bench.
Winston Churchill is, of course, the
youngest member of the British gov
ernment, the changes in which en-
! tailed by Lord Haldane's transfer have
still further reduced the average age
of its members. There have probably
| been few or no administrations in
which that average has been lower.
Today there is only one minister
| seventy and only two are In the six
ties. Ten, including the premier, are
still in the fifties, and seven are still

eight, at the admiralty and Colonel
Seely, aged forty-three, at the war Of
| fice, youth is certainly well served.
At their combined ages of eighty-one
Gladstone was at the height of his
fame and the duke of Wellington was
| still a power in the house of lords
| and in the country.
There are many links between the
| careers of Colonel Seely and Mr..
| Churchill. Both were at Harrow and
both saw fighting in South Africa.
Mr.. Churchill began his career with
cavalry regiment and Colonel Seely
fought with the Imperial yeomanry.
Both entered the house in 1900 and
both entered 1t as unionists. Both
have sat for three different constitu-
encies. Colonel Seely followed Mr..
Churchill as undersecretary for the
colonies, an office which both held
for two years. Both married soldiers
daughters.
Sir Philip Sasson, the new mem.
ber for Hythe, is the "baby" of the
house of commons, though he is far
from being the youngest man to enter
that chamber. Leaving Pitt and Palm.
erston out of account, Sir Philip, at
twenty-four. was surpassed in point of
youth by Mr. Gladstone, who had not

GentIemen's ValuabIes.

So many men to whom the city mis-
sionary had given money for nights
lodging had expressed preference
for certain east side lodging house
that he wondered what constituted its
particular attraction.

the men said when questioned.
So far as the missionary could see,
1t was typical lodging house. He

method did he fan the fires of self

pointed to sign:

refreshment tables are! OF course, you
know Mrs. Esterham, our treasurer
Mrs. Esterham-O, how do you do
So glad you could come. Were you
