TASTY SCRAP DISHES
HASH BETTER THAN RoASTs
WHEN PREPARED PROPERLY.
May Irwin, the Actress, Tells How
to Cook Meats and the Victuals
That Have Been Left Over
From Meals.

That the fastidious should look with
distrust, If not disgust, upon the hotel
or restaurant made hash or ragout,
or stew, or minced dish. is quite with
in my understanding and sympathy.
But it is quite different in the we'll
regulated home.
My husband and sons, writes May
Irwin, who are rather spoiled as far
as the things of the table are concern
ed enjoy beef stews and roast beef
hash better than the original roast
Fricassee chicken, when properly pre-
pared, Is much better than roast
chicken. Spaghetti, when warmed
over, Is twenty times better than
when first cooked. How seldom we
eat really well cooked dish Of
spaghetti! This Is because it Is not
thoroughly cooked.
Suppose 1t is Tuesday-ironing day.
II there is in your pantry or ice box
the skeleton of last nights roast chick
en- you are fortunate. From the
shreds of the meat here and there
sticking to the bones you can make
an excellent fricassee, or that dish
which is favorite in my household.
Mince the bits of cold chicken to-
gether. Chop a small green pepper, a
small onion, four mushrooms, bit of
parsley and one cold potato together
until very fine. Have a frying pan
ready with tablespoonful of hot brown
butter and put the mixture in and stir
1t well.
Cover 1t for few moments and let
1t brown ON one side, as hashed brown
potatoes are done. Put on hot plat
ter and garnish with tomato sauce.
This sauce is made by cooking two
or three tomatoes for half an hour;
strain and add a tablespoonful Of but
ter, salt, pepper and -four enough to
thicken little.
Perhaps you are. inclined to toss
away three or four tomatoes that are
soft, but still good. Their ripeness
is no drawback for the favorite break
fast dish of mine, for which l give
you the recipe.
Cut slice from the top of each to-
mato Remove enough of the pulp to
enable you to drop into each tomato
a bit of butter the size of your thumb
nail and a. raw egg. Pin with a tooth
pick strip of raw bacon around each
tomato Sprinkle little salt and pep
per over the top and put into a very
hot oven until the eggs are set. Thfs
will befin from five to eight minutes

COOKS ADVICE ON RoASTS
Many Valuable Suggestions Are Of
fered on How to Regulate
Your oven.

That water should not be put into an
open meatspan its place being supplied
by bits of fat from the roast, or by
dripping.
That rack made of wire should
support meat in the roasting-pan to
prevent 1t from sticking to the bot
tom and being unevenly roasted.
That all cut meat should first be
laid on the rack skin-side downward.
provided the hottest air Is above, In
order that the lean part. from which
juices might escape. may be at once
crusted over to retain them.
That a stx-pound roast in a little
oven requires one hours roasting to
be rare, and one hour and quarters
to be we'll done.
That to lessen such a heat at opce
for roasting properly, after the scar
Ing is completed. a pan Of cold water
may be set into the oven and the draft
somewhat reduced.
That the double roasting-pans, with
close-fitting covers, are most convent
ent both for large and small roasts.
as basting is not required, and they
keep the small roasts from drying out

"Good Medicine"

A Missionary recently returned
from Burma with an amusing story of
the exaltation of a. dozen patent-medk
cine bottles to the rank of idols fer
vently worshiped by a whole village.
On one of this lady's tours, she
passed through a small settlement
where cholera was raging. She had
with her several bottles of famous
ready relief" for pain; 30 she went
from house to house dosing numerous
sufferers, and left the bottles for the
natives to use after she had gone.
Returning to the village some
months later, the lady was met by the
head man of the community, who
cheered her pious soul by saying,
Mem sahib, we have come over to
your side. The magic did us so much
good that we now accept and worship
your gods"
Delighted at this news the mission
ary accompanied the man and his fol-
lowers to his own dwelling, where he
opened the door Of room, and show
ed her the pain-killer bottles arranged
neatly upon sort of altar. The whole
company Immediately prostrated them
selves before them in solemn Worship,
Youths Companion. 7t

3sNoyelty In London.

"Shbe shining parlors" seem to be
unknown. in London. An American
writes to the Chronicle of that city,:
Having occasion to CROSS London
bridge every morning and having my
boots generously bespattered with
mud by the passing vehicles, discov-
cred a shop in King William street,
opposite the monument. devoted solely
to the, polishing Of boots and shoes.
The customer, sitting on a comforta-
BILE armchair, places his feet on low
pedestals and has his two boots pol
ished at the same time, If he is in. a
hurry. believe this is the only shop
OF the kind in London. l am sure you
could use more of them"

THREE WAYS TO CAN BEANS
SalycIllc Acid, Salt and Vinegar HaVs
Been Successfully Used on the
String Variety.

Three ways of canning string beans.
all of which are successful, are. By
using salycilic acid, salt and vinegar.
To those who like vinegar on their
beans anyway the vinegar method is
the best and safest.
The beans are cooked perfectly
done and a few may be canned at a
time when they are being cooked for
dinner, as 1t rarely happens that the
housewife can get enough beans for
more than a cam or two at time.
Put the cooked beans in glass Jars,
add three tablespoonfuls Of good vim.
egar to each quart and seal the bottle
while boiling hot.
There will be no spoiled Jars, for
they will be both canned and picked.
When ready to use them simply
heat but do not boil Since so many
use vinegar when eating string beans
this will be no objection.
In using salt the same method Is fol-
lowed except that teaspoonful of salt
is placed on top of the beans after
each quart can is filed and then sealed
hot.
This method Is not as successful
as the vinegar. The use of preserva.
tives as salycilic and benzoic acid we
are inclined to recommend less highly.

Rice and Tomato Combination.

One of the ways of cooking rice and
tomatoes together is to boil the rice in
one vessel, cook the stewed tomatoes
in another, seasoning them to taste
with salt, sugar. pepper and onion
juice, and then to turn the rice. from
which the water has been carefully
drained, into a deep vegetable dish,
pour over 1t the tomatoes, lifting the
rice with fork, that the sauce may
penetrate the rice; set the dish in the
oven for five minutes, and send it to
table smoking hot,

Splced Plums.

Wipe five pounds plums with a
piece Of cheesecloth wrung out of
cold water and. prick each five or six
times with a large needle. Put two
and a half pounds brown sugar in a
sauce pan and pour over 1t one quart
vinegar. Then add two ounces cloves,
one ounce stick cinnamon (broken
into pieces), one ounce allspice ber-
ries and one ounce mace, all tied in
a piece of muslin. Let this mixture
boil 10 minutes. Pour 1t over plums,
cover and let stand over night In
the morning, drain plums from syrup,
again boil syrup 10 minutes, pour over
plums, cover and let stand over
night. Drain and repeat this process
a third time.

OLD OVEN TEST STILL USED
Sheet of Linen Writing Paper Placed
In Stove VIII Show the
Temperature.

The old-fashioned test for ascer.
tanning the heat of the oven before
putting in a cake to bake is still in
good standing even among the cook
ing school generation of cooks. The
writing paper test is the favorite one.
Lay a sheet of ordinary linen writing
paper in the oven and let 1t stay for
five minutes-by the clock. II the
paper is just nicely Drowned in that
time the oven is hot enough for loaf
cake. If the paper is burned or
scorched, the oven Is too hot and
must be cooled by leaving a crack in
the door, opening the ventilator or
setting a cup of cold water in the
oven to lower the temperature.

before he had been cut twice with a
knife. When they had the fellow
trussed and tied they took a good
look at him and found him a stranger
and a mighty ugly one, too He
claimed to be a tramp looking for
lodgings, but the package he had left
in the oat-bin settled that.
He was one of the trio who had
robbed the county treasurer's Office
twelve miles away, in broad daylight.
and had been lodging and hiding for
hours. There was $4,000 in the pack
age, and there lay one of the robbers,
cdrsing and struggling and waiting
for the constables. Jonas had been
been pretty badly knitted, and as soon
as 1t was known Sarah Jane cried
out:
Father, you go after the 'squar' at
once"
For why?"
That he may marry Jonas and
mel"
So It came about that 1t was Jonas
very own wife that bound up his
wounds and fed him chicken soup un-
til he could go back to pork and
beans. When he could talk business
he said to the farmer:

What for?"
For marrying Sarah Jane two or
three years before we was ready"

Holders Made From Stockings.

1t takes only few minutes to cut
the legs of old stockings into squares
the size for holders and stitch about
three thicknesses together. Make
several at a time then throw worn or
soiled ones away. Nothing saves the
patience of the cook more than a sup
ply of clean holders thick enough to
prevent burns, and in the right sizes
and right place.
