THE KITCHEN GARDEN.

OF course, people who live in the
country, or in small towns, where they
have a generous space for garden,
will do many more things for their
families thereby than they who have
but a few square feet for the garden.
Even people who live in closely set
tied cities, where there is nothing but
an ash barrel or garbage can for
background, have made the barrel to
blossom like the rose. Fill barrel
with well.rotted horse manure and
plant some seeds of radish and cucum-
bers in it. II it has a warm, sunny
place, you can grow your cucumbers
on a rack, using care to wet the
ground, not the plant, when watering
and soon you will be rewarded by
good crop of crisp and refreshing Gu
cumbers.
If you have urns or tiles for plants
in the grounds, too early for their
rightful possessors, SOW radish and let
tuce seed in them. They will grow
like weeds in the warm sun and be
ready to vacate the place by the time
you wish to put the plants out.
Three square feet for a lettuce bed
will supply the family all summer
with nice crisp salad. If one likes
head lettuce, it needs more room, is
worth more in time and trouble, but
pays for all the time put into 1t.

EnuIand's Breakfast.

1t is reported from London that a
recent attempt TO introduce grape
fruit as a breakfast food has failed
and that heavy Importation of those
delicacies has caused such slump in
the market that costermongers are
selling them from barrows for penny
apiece.
This will surprise no one who has
ever lived in England. That country
has known many changes during the
last few years. Caste lines have been
obliterated; the silk hat is no longer
an object of reverential worship; ac-
tors have been knighted and bands in
troduced into restaurants. But the
breakfast table Is the last ditch of
British conservatism. The English
man eats bacon and eggs 36J morn
ings in the year and welcomes leap
year because it enables him to indulge
in that delightful dish 366 times.
The monarchy may be abolished and
the house of lords deprived of it's pre-
negatives, but the English breakfast
will remain as it was in the days of
the Conqueror. Grape fruit will never
have place in it-New York Her

FACE ALMOST COVERED WITH
PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS

Atchison, Kan.-"For a number Of
years l suffered very greatly from skin
eruption. My face was very red and
irritated, being almost covered with
pimples and blackheads. The pimples
were scattered over my face. They
were a fine rash with the exception Of
few large pimples on my forehead
and chin. My face burned and looked
red as II exposed to either heat or
cold. 1t was not only unsightly but
very uncomfortable. I tried several
remedies but couldn't get any relief.

WAYS OF USING CORN.

Green corn is usually preferable III
most of these dishes, although lhe
canned will give good results.
AS vegetable, corn is so olteh
served with butter and milk, and TINS
monotony grows tiresome. A salad d
souffle, fritters and any NUMBER OF
combinations are good.
Corn SouffIe.-Melt a Tablespoonful
of butter and add to it a tablespoonful
of sifted flour; stir until smooth, tnen
add one by one three beaten egg
yolks and a cup of hot milk. COOK
until smooth, add a cup Of corn, fresh
or canned, season with salt and pep
per, then fold in the well beaten
whites. Put into buttered mold or
into individual molds and bake In
hot oven twenty minutes. Serve III
the dish in which 1t is baked.
Baked Tomatoes and corn.-Select
small-sized tomatoes OF uniform size,
scoop out the pulp from the stem end
without peeling; turn upside down and
drain. Mix a cup of corn with two
eggs, a tablespoonful of butter and one
of flour, creamed together; season
we'll with salt and pepper, fill with the
mixture and bake in a moderate oven
twenty minutes. Serve with a garnish
of parsley.
Corn Salad.-This is best with fresh
ly boiled corn cut from the cob. Use
equal quantities of corn and freshly
boiled rice: season and add sufficient
mayonnaise. Serve in lettuce cups,
very cold.
If one can get fresh clans. corn
and clans make most delightful
combination. Chop half a green pep
per and a slice Of onion together; cook
in a quarter of cupful Of butter un-
til soft, add a quarter OF cupful OF
-four and stir until foamy. Heat pint
of clans in their own juice, drain and
chop. Measure the clans and take
equal parts Of fresh grated corn. Add
three-quarters of cup of the clam
juice, after straining, to the butter and
flour; add two beaten eggs and three
tablespoonfuls of cream, and stir into
the clam juice, but do not boil. But
ter some clam shells, put In the mix
ture and cover with buttered crumbs.
Serve on a napkin on a hot platter.
Garnish with parsley.

A FEW CHANGES IN BREAD.

The staff of life is bread, so few
variations Of that staple may not come
amiss.
Whole Wheat Bread.-Take pint

soda and two of cream OF tartar,

of a pint of cold water. Sift the dry
ingredients together, then add the wa
ter; stir well, then place in we'll

Remembered Grudqe.

Queen Wilhelmina's recent visit to
Paris has moved the paris correspond
ent of the New York Sun to tell again
a story of the days when her majesty
was the most popular young person
age in the world.
In the revived edition, the story is
to the effect that she found it hard to
learn English, and perhaps for that
reason did not love England. The
drst map of Europe she drew showed
an enormous Holland, a fair-sized Bel
GUM and france, but an almost i'm
perceptible Great Britain.
To draw particular attention to the
diminutive island representing Eng
land, she wrote below it, Land of
Miss s." cher English governess).
Years later the young queen said
to the minister plenipotentiary of Eng
land
BE sure to tell her majesty, Queen
Victoria, that l love Englishwomen,
all Englishwomen."
To which the minister bowed, and
the Queen added:
All Englishwomen are not govern
esses!"-Youth's Companion.
