A WORD TO THE COOK.

Do you have a well-defned plan for
the meals Of the day?
Do you try to balance the meals so
that there is never an over-abundance
OF any one food principle, like starchy
foods, meats or sweets?
Do you plan your menus in regard
to the individuals served? For exam
pie, the Office worker and the out-of-
door worker need a quite different
menu, as does the growing child and
the invalid.
Do you plan when You are making
custard to prepare enoughs to make
salad dressing, too? This Is easily
done by leaving out the sugar and
favoring until the custard is cooked,
then add sugar and fiavoring and you
have a custard to serve as a sauce
or a floating island, and to the re-
mainder add salt, mustard and pep
per and you have salad dressing,
with but the preparation Of one.
DO you study the principles of
cookery and enjoy your work, realiz-
ing that it is a dignified work, or do
you call yourself a drudge? "As a
man thinketh in his heart, so is he"
When using cooking dishas II they
are washed ct once, not allowing them
to stand, they will wash much easier
and other work that follows will not
be hindered.
Coffee is much improved II not
freshly ground, to put into the dry
pot and shake over the fire until thor.
oughly hot.
When buying soap II is economy to
get it in large quantities, as one gets
more for the money, and soap that Is
stored and dried will last much
longer.
It is wonderful help in an emer-
gency to have few canned foods on
hand, such as canned clans. to be
made into a delicious cnowder with
a few minutes work, or canned soups
of different kinds are quickly prepared,
and there is nothing more satisfying
after cold ride or for late supper
than q cup of steaming hot soup.
There is no bread, how well pre-
pared, that tastes quite as good az
homemade bread. To many house
keepers who are cook and housemaid.
bread-making is q great burden. but
with the advent Of the brsad-mixer.
the disagreeable part OF bread-making
Is eliminated. The bread 10 mixsd at
night, when the man OF the house
might turn the mixer for exercise, and
in the morning It is all ready to mix
again. and then rise in the loaves. II
for no other reason than cleanliness.
the bread-mixer pays for itself.

DYING REQUEST OF SOLDIER
Feared Brother Might Have Foolish
Sentiment About Making
Use Of Gift.

During the latter part of the Civil
war Basil Gildersleeve lay one day ap-
parently at the point Of death, sur.
rounded by several members Of his
family. Brother" he murmured
family, IT have, at most, only a few
days to live, and when / am laid to
rest want you to have my new pair
of boots in the closet yonder. / paid
$3.50. Confederate, for them, and you
are sorely in need Of pair" Instead
of the expected burst Of gratitude
there was no answer. Racked with
emotion at the thought Of his great
loss, the brother was evidently too
much overcome for speech. Brother"
persisted the future Immortal" weak
ly, "you mustn't have any foolish SEN
timent about those boots. I will never
be we'll enough to wear them again,
and 1t would be pure extravaganza to
bury me in them" Still the brother,
his face flushed, his heart too full for
utterance, made no reply. won't
you promise me to wear the boots
after I am gone" Gildersleeve plead.

CHART OF lLLIMITABLE VOID
Remarkable FIve-Aore Sectional Map
Of the Sky at Harvard Uni.
verslty.

This seems to be an age Of great
things. To talk Of billions no longer
occasions shiver Of incredulous ad-
miration. One of the wonders at Har.
ward university today Is q fiveacre
sectional map Of just plain sky and
consultations. At the expense Of
more than a million dollars Harvard
university has provided the chart
which distinctly shows 100000 stars.
this having been prepared In sections
by the Harvard university astron-
omers. The sections Of the map.
placed together, would cover an area
Of more than FIVE acres, which is a
pretty extensive plan Of charting the
'.illimitable void"
In scholarly annual report the di-
rector of the observatory calls atten-
tion to the fact that during the past
year 3,796 photographs Of stars ,were
made by the observatory. For more
than 66 years the Harvard observa-
tory has kept complete records Of as
Economical developments. By reason
of thirty years work and an expendi-
ture of a million dollars, this observa-
tory is placed ahead Of all other SINH
lar institutions.
In the study of the stars at the Har-
ward observatory there Is something
more than mere love Of knowledge or
tender sentiment. Even the slow
paced walk Of lovers under the arch
ing Cambridge elms has no more of
witchery and romance about it than
the wonders of scientific research
stored away in the. college obserya-
tory, which with It's various stations
has already become the shrine Of mod

An Appreciation.

We wish to thank our congressman
for a nifty package Of garden seeds
sent from Washington for our special
use. 1t is nice to be thus remembered
by one who is far away in a strange
land, and 1t beats a picture postcard
forty ways. There is practical val
ue to package Of congressional gar
den seeds which appeals. We had
them cooked up for breakfast this
morning, and, while they were fair, it
must be remembered, that congress
has gone Democratic recently, and the
flavor of the garden seeds is bound to
be somewhat more biting and pessi-
mistic than formerly, but we thank
the thoughtful congressman Just the
same. We have eaten his garden
seeds several years, and they are all
right.

Uncle Joe's Repjy.

> Some members of the house heard
few days ago the strangest combi-
nation of sacred and profane language
which had ever been uttered on that
floor. During debate Uncle Joe Can
non went after A. Mitchell Palmer OF
Pennsylvania, and handled him with
out gloves. Cannon is a Quaker and
so is Palmer. When conversing pri-
vately they drop into the Quaker ver-
nacular. After the debate Palmer
went to the former speaker, who is
thirty-six years older than himself.
"Uncle joe" he said, thee treated
me little roughly in the debate to-
day"
WELL" replied Uncle Joe, in a mix
ture of Quaker and CannoEian Eng
lish, perhaps / did treat thee little
severely, but blankety-blank, thou de-
served every damned thing I said"

Tale of the Sea,

Seafaring people can generally
quote plenty Of instances to show how
Ill luck dogs captain once it has
claimed him. I know Of many such
(writes II. VIZ, but the most curl
GUS case is connected with a small
island or large rock in the Mediter-
ranean. There is, or was, according
to report, a man living on 1t. He had
a goat which fed on the very limited
verdure Of the place, and from fiotsam
he made himself hut. The crews OF
passing ships would point out the
smoke from his fire, though / confess
! never could discern it myself The
story is that he was n ships captain
who was twice wrecked on this lonely
place and rescued by passing vessels.
One night he found his vessel piled up
for the third time. His disgust was
not lessened to find It was the same
rock. His crew were rescued as be-
fore, but the captain refused to leave.
He said 1t was no use Fate would
only send him back again. so he would
stay where he was! have sailed the
Mediterranean in many different ships,
but the story has always been told
without ariation.-Mancheste Guar.

FIRST OF ANIMAL HOSPITALS
More Than 1000 Years Ago One Was
Established In India, Says
an Authority.

The New York women who have
opened free animal dispensary in
this city are regarded as pioneers In q
good work. AS matter OF fact one
must go to the Orient and look back
more than 1000 years to find the first
animal hospital known.
The famous Buddhist emperor of In
dia, Asoka, whose long reign from 264
to 227 b. G. abounded in many good
works, was probably the earliest to
establish hospital for the treatment
OF animals, says Our Dumb Animals.
Asoka was a true humanitarian as
we'll as most powerful sovereign and
although ruling a vast domain be-
came deeply impressed by the horrors
Of warfare.
He gave up his desire for conquest
and the rock inscriptions, which are
still extant, record such beneficent
edicts of his as the counseling OF
planting shade trees, the digging OF
wells, sending out of missionaries, ap-
pointment OF special officers to super
wise charities, the establishing OF hos
pitfalls for human kind and animals.
1t is Of interest to know that the
last remaining Of Asoka's hospitals
was devoted to animals. 1t covered
twenty-five acres and was divided Into
proper wards and courts for the ac-
commodation of the patients. When
an animal was sick or injured it's
master had only to bring it to the hos
pital, where it was cared for without
regard to the caste of its owner, and
where, If necessary, it found an asy-
lum in old age.

Customs of other Days.

Drinking tricks figured in diplomacy
in the time Of Henry VIII. Mrs. Hen
ry Gust quotes the kings challenge to
Hubertus, the representative of the
Palsgrave Frederick. He sent for two
huge goblets, filed with wine and beer
respectively, and gave the envoy his
choice for a drinking out" test In
vain Hubertus pleaded Chat his master
had actually instituted company of
the golden ring to put down such con-
tests, any member who broke the pro
hibition to lose his ring and give 81 to
the poor. Henry, anxious to prove
that the Englishman was the better
man, promised to find the forfeits him
self and drank his. beer at draft.
while 1t took the German four gulps to
account for the wine.

Irish butter, which is engaging the
attention of the house of lords, has
staying powers. In 1906 some men cut
ting turf near Killucan found tub
containing about two hundredweight OF
butter buried deep in bog. From the
style In which the tub was made It was
surmised that the butter was over 100
years old. Yet, owing to the use Of
some preservative, II was not absolute
ly uneatable, though somewhat rancid.
Similar deposits have been found in
other parts OF Ireland, some wrapped
In cloth which on exposure to the air
crumbled to dust. II Is supposed that
the preservative powers OF peat soil
were known to the Irish in very early
days. and that during the summer they
buried butter for use In the winter
