FOR THE BEST OF COFFEE
Three Ways of Preparing Beverage
Which ls Favorlte In Every
American Household.

For old-fashioned coffee the rule Ii
one tablespoon for each person and
one for the pot To clear it take one
egg and the shell and beat it up with
four tablespoons of cold water, using
one-third of this for six tablespoons
OF coffee. The remainder of the egg
water will keep until used on the next
two mornings.
Stir with a spoon so all the coffee
may become coated with the egg mix
ture. Now turn into the coffee pot as
many cups of boiling water as spoons
of coffee used. Set on the fire and
allow to boil briskly five minutes. Set
back on the stove to melt" for ten
minutes.
Percolated coffee is the best coffee
made and those who can afford a per-
colater will find that it will lessen the
bills and that they can always have
fine coffee. A cheaper grade of cot
fee can be used in a percolater than
for regulation" boiled coffee. Have
the coffee pulverized, using one heap
ing teaspoon for each cup, turn over
1t the same number of cups of boiling
water and allow it to percolate eight
minutes.
If the frugal housekeeper will wash
every egg she uses before breaking
and will put the shells through a
meat grinder she will find there is no
need of using eggs to settle coffee
One tablespoon Of the ground eggshell
put into the coffee pot with the coffee
and two tablespoons of cold water
stirred well before adding the boiling
water will make the coffee clear and
amber colored.
Drip coffee can be made in any cof-
fee pot. Take cocoa can that will
fit into the top of the coffee pot and
punch fine holes in the bottom. Put
into 1t the coffee, ground very finely,
the same proportion as for boiled
coffee-one tablespoon to a cup of wa
ter. Turn the water slowly into the
can, allowing 1t to drip slowly into the
pot. Then put it on the back of the
stove, where it will get hot but not
boil. If desired very strong, take the
coffee from the pot and turn it into
the coffee can at the top for the sec
ond time. Keep hot, for after drip
coffee cools 1t is not very good.

Suggestion for Solution Of Problem
Which is One af the Hardest
With Which Housewife Has
to Contend.

One of the difficulties of a family OF
two, man and wife, is to prepare
bill of fare from week to week and
not have to eat the some kind of meat
several days in succession. If the
man is not one who works at manual
labor he is quite likely to have
small appetite. The woman does her
own housework, perhaps, and she, too,
Is not a large eater Now ten-pound
roast would last two people of this
kind much more than a week, To
buy less prevents them securing the
best cut of beef. although when they
buy lamb it is quite possible to get a
good roast much smaller An excel
lent idea is to lay out course In ad-
vance. Say something like this:
Roast beef one week, lamb the next
week, turkey or chicken or roast pork
the third week, then miscellaneous
dishes the fourth week, like salads
from chicken, lobster II not too high,
shrimp, a boiled dinner once. This
would give a change sufficient to salts
fy most tastes.
Let the roast be, say, seven or eight
pound sirloin. Have 1t boned and one
slice of steak cut off of 1t. The steak
will do for the Sunday dinner, the
bones will make a splendid vegetable
soup for Monday dinner, and by Tues
day the beef will be ready to roast. 1t
will surely last the ordinary family Of
two Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day, and, perhaps, there will be
enough left for stew on Saturday,
Fish may be served Friday one week,
oysters another Friday in their sea-
son. The second week an eight-pound
leg of lamb will give chops for Sun
day. Cut the bones and take them
off both ends of the roast, and a
vegetable stew may be had again
Monday and the rest the next three
days. So on, with the other meats
provided for the different weeks. It
is possible and advantageous to use
fish twice during the week. Seal
loped fish makes an excellent dish oc-
/ casionally.
OF course, the menu that is pre-.
/ scrlbed above Is meant for dinner
/ only, whether served at noon or at
night 1t is for the man with lin
tied income, say from $tS to $50 per
week, where the wife does her own
work. For those OF smaller incomes
perhaps roast sirloin is too expensive
and also roast lamb. Then rib OF
rump roast and mutton may be substi
tuted. A slice of cold roast beef OF
lamb will be acceptable in the morn
ing often with the egg.

INDOOR PLANTS NEED CARE
Many Will Do Well in Gas-Lishted
Rooms If They Are JudiciousIy
Selt cted and Tended.

Ono of the great secrets in the sue
cessful cultivation of plants in rooms
is judgment in selecting the right
kinds, as an experiment will soon
show, will do well in gaslighted or
drafty rooms, others will not; so it is
most essential that care should be ex-
ercised in choosing kinds adapted to
both purposes.
Those who have the good fortune to
have their rooms lighted by electricity
need not worry, because all kinds of
plants will succeed under the latter
conditions.
The best of all plants to grow in
gas-lighted rooms are the parlor
palms.
There are two distinct kinds of
these. one which produces very tall
leaves and another of the dwarf
growth.
II carefully wateTed and their
leaves sponged at least once a week,
they will thrive for years.
Another excellent plant to grow I'M
der similar conditions is the fig-leaf
palm. or so-called "castor-oil plant"
This has giant ivy-like green leaves,
which radiate from central stem and
form a handsome plant. AS it in
creases in age it is. however, apt to
lose its lower leaves, and hence some
OF it's beauty.
The 'india-rubber" plant. brother
of the fig tree. is another plant which
is admirably adapted for gas-lighted
rooms.
The plant usually grows with sin
gle main stem, and If well cared for
will in a few years attain a height of
five feet or Six feet. When it becomes
too tall the upper part can be clipped.

Pendants of All Kinds.

Pendants are the ornaments OF the
moment and come in every imaginable
grade of stone, from the most garish
artificial bits set in poor gilt to the
sexi-precious stones, combined with
diamonds. About the most excellent
are the semi-precious stones set either
in gold or silver. Their cost varies
with the worth of the stone, and it's
setting is secondary. Abilone shell
