POPCORN'S MANY USES
.DELicAcY NOT USUALLY APPRE,
clATED BY HOUSEWIFE.
Properly Prepared, Il Makes an Ideal
Breakfast cereal--Better Than
Usual croutons Added TO the
Dinner Soup.

Try popcorn some morning instead
OF the ordinary breakfast cereal. The
chances are you will like 1t. The corn
should be popped the night before and
left In the oven or some other warm,
dry place until morning. Before serv,
ing. set the food grinder at the notch
where 1t grinds It's coarsest and run
the popcorn through. Place in warm
oven until the chopped popcorn Ia
heated. Then serve with sugar and
cream, like any other breakfast food.
Try adding half dozen fluffy white
kernels of popcorn to each portion of
soup served. These are a pretty sub.
stitute for the usual croutons, and, es,
pecially in tomato or pea soup, the
color effect is attractive. Where the
soup is served at table a small dish
OF perfect kernels Of popcorn can be
placed near the tureen and a few
served with each portion Of soup,
They float lightly on the surface and
are pretty novelty. For the nur-
sery table this is a feature sure to be
hailed with delight.
Try 'kornettes" as a novel form Of
wafer to serve with afternoon tea. Lit
the cookies are made from one cup of
chopped popcorn, tablespoonful of
softened butter, white of one egg. one
third Of cnD OF sugar. and a little
salt Flavor with half teasponful OF
vanilla. The butter is first added to
the chopped popcorn, then the egg is
stiffiy beaten and added, then the
sugar and other ingredients. Beat all
together thoroughly and drop from tip
of teaspoon on to a buttered baking
sheet. Spread with knife dipped In
cold water and bake in stow oven un-
til delicate brown.
Where coal range Is not available
there are several ways Of attempting
to do corn-popping over gas stove,
but the process is never as satisfac-
tory as when done over a bed Of live
Goals. An iron stove lid placed over
a burner Of gas range and allowed to
become red hot will give sufficient
heat to make the kernels burst into
bloom, provided one has little pa
tience. Where gas is used In the
kitchen the furnace fire offers splen-
did place for the popping of corn.
With the large area Of Goals, the work
can be done quickly and we'll.

Some More or Less Novelties That
VIII Give Relish to the Allotted
Daily Menu.

A Point In Preparing Cucumbers-lt
is well to know that good soaking of
sliced cucumber In cold water before
1t goes to the table win render 1t much
more digestible. Take thick parings
from the fruit, removing every bit of
the green which holds the bitter prin-
ciple next to the skin. Slice wafer
thin and lay in ice water for an hour.
Ii little salt is added 1t becomes even
more digestible. but Its tender crisp
ness will be lost. A combination Of GU
cumber with little young onions is also
healthful and appetizing.
Green Pea Salad-Shell peas to
make quart. Boil in salted water to
cover, seasoning with mint, salt and
pepper. Drain thoroughly, pour in a
salad bowl and while still hot season
with tablespoonful of butter. Set on
the Ice to chill while you prepare the
dressing. Rub smooth In a basin the
yolks Of three hard boiled eggs, sea-
son with a Tablespoonful each Of salt
and white pepper and q half-teaspoon-
ful OF made mustard. Blend carefully
then beat In, little by little, four ta-
blespoonfuls of olive oil. When thick
add gradually a tablespoonful and a
half Of cider vinegar; pour over the
peas and serve.
Peas with Mint-The English Gus
tom Of adding few sprigs Of fresh
mint to green peas while cooking is
an agreeable one to most palates.
They also use mint with dressed GU
cumbers.
Mint Vinegar-Now is the time also
to put UP mint vinegar for favoring
purposes when the fresh mint cannot
be obtained, and the dried mint of
commerce lacks the "woodsy" favor
that you are used to. Put the wash
ed mint leaves In wide-mouthed bot
tie, but do not pack. Fill up with good
cider vinegar. In three weeks uncork
and pour off the clear liquid into an
other bottle, corking tightly. II a lit
tie strip of horseradish Is added to
each bottle before sealing, it can be
kept through the winter.

Wooden HarmonIcon.

the pieces are called, must be of vary
ing lengths for the different tones.
Oak or mahogany are best. Expert
ment will soon show what to select
and what to refuse. The palettes
when cut should be allowed to rest
on straws or strings tightened over a
shallow box and kept In place by
means Of wax on their under parts.
The music is produced by striking the
notes with small hammers In the
same way as the ordinary glass har-
monicon. These should be made of
whalebone or split cane, at the ends
Of which small knobs of wood are
fixed. On these wooden instruments
only quick tunes can be played, as
there is no sustaining power In the
notes.

Aga of Pessimism.

"I had talk with a pessimistic
friend the other day. ] don't think
ever met any one SO completely soured
on the world. He told me he doubted
human honesty-that he didn't believe
in the faith of man, nor the constancy
of woman. Life to him was all graft
and greed. He was very bitter. "
"Your friend must have had a lot of
hard experiences. How old is he?"

Nutritious wild Rice.

The wild rice which grows in lakes
in the northern part of the United
States and in the southern part Of
Canada has long black grain and is
quite different in many respects from
the true rice familiar to everybody.
Wild rice is best known to many per-
sons as favorite food Of wild ducks
and other water fowl, but it sells in
some cities at two or three times the
price of ordinary rice. 1t is consid-
cred the most nutritious grain grown
in North America.

Superstitions That Survive.

The death of the Roman Emperor
Maximus was presaged by the bowling
of dogs. 1t was in the hope of finding
the stream of perpetual youth that led
Ponce de Leon, the Spanish discover
er, on his trips through Florida, while
De Soto was seeking for city of gold.
In Brazil the people believe that Don
Sebastian, the royal hero who was
slain in Africa about 1880 in a battle,
will return to claim the crown. The
people go out on windy nights to
watch the heavens anticipating his re-
turn.

Baptismal Custom.

A pretty custom is followed at bap-
tisms in Heligoland. While paslm
is being sung a procession of little
boys and girls troop in, passing in
front of the altar. Each child carries
pannikin of water, the contents OF
which are poured into the baptismal
font. Thus all the child's future play
mates contribute to the water with
which the baby is admitted into the
church.

HAS FLORIDA A PLURALITY
PRIMARY LAW

1t was discovered last week by a
friend of the News that when the
last Legislature passed Senator Bry-
ans primary bill it provided for a
plurality primary Section IA of the
new law contains the following SEN
tence:
First and second choice votes
shall not be cast by a voter for the
same candidate, and in the event
this shall be done only the first
choice votes shall be counted
The principal object of the new
law is to abolish the second primary,
The bill should have provided that
a ballot cast for the same candidate
for both first and second choice
,hould be thrown out entirely, but
il saws that the first choice shall be
counted and the second choice shall
be thrown out. If you are an ar
dent Fletcher supporter you Will not
east your second choice vote for Gill
christ because you fear Gilchrist
may win out by your lone second
choice vote, Neither will YOU vote
your second choice for Stockton for
the same reason Nearly every voter
will vote for his candidate and for
his candidate only. That is certain
second choice votes count, and your
candidate may be defeated by second
choice votes. Therefore the high
man will win out, not the candidate
receiving the majority of the votes.
So Florida has plurality primary.
