ABOUT GREEN CORN.

Corn should be boiled as soon as pos
sible after picking. for no vegetable loses
its flavor more quickly. II it must be
kept before using. leave it in the husks
in a dark, cool place. Once 1t is husked.
plunge it into boiling saited water. If
at all tender It should cook in fifteen
minutes Test with a fork, drain and
send to the table in a corn napkin in q
covered dish.
The hull that incloses the grain of
corn is so indigestible that it causes
many people considerable annoyance. To
avoid such trouble cut down the entire
center of each row of grains with a
sharp knife, and season with salt and
butter. The center Of the grain is press
ed out by the teeth as 1t is eaten, and
the tough hull is left on the cob.
BY some cooks corn is always boiled
in layer Of the husk, SO that the grains
may not be acted upon directly by the
water. Whatever way is followed, re-
move every particle of silk. Some chefs
add a little piece Of butter to the boiling
water. declaring that 1t whitens the corn
One Of the best ways OF serving corn
is to cut it from the cob and stew 1t
fifteen minutes. then season by adding
a tablespoonful of -four, one of butter,
half a pint of cream or milk and salt
and pepper: boil two minutes after sea
soning. The quantity Of milk. butter
and -four given Is for one dozen ears.
If the corn lacks sweetness use one tea
spoonful of sugar.
Corn fritters. good for either dinner
or breakfast, are best made from very
tender corn that has been boiled. Cut
down the middle Of the hull and press
out the grain with the back of a knife.
Some cooks CRATE the corn. This is not
only difficult, but results in mixing more
or less of the hulls with the pulp.
One dozen ears Of the corn should make
a pint of grain. To this add the yolks
of two eggs, two gills Of milk, one CUP
and one-fourth saltspoonful of pepper.
Beat thoroughly and quickly, and to the
batter add the beaten whites Of the two
eggs and one teaspoonful of baking pow
der. Fry golden brown in boiling lard
or olive oil. Drop in the batter by the
spoonful. remove with skinner and
drain on brown paper before serving.
Green corn pudding is an excellent
entree with roast lamb or beef. Take
one dozen ears Of corn. prepared as for
fritters. Season with a teaspoonful of
salt, one-fourth saltspoonful of white
pepper, the yolks Of four eggs. nutmeg to
taste and one quart OF milk When well
beaten add the whites of the eggs beaten
to a froth. Bake in a buttered pudding
dish in a very moderate oven for forty
five minutes.

Picked Onions.
Peel the onions+not too large-white

Poor Mans Mushrooms.

Radishes have always been considered
good only to eat raw. Try the following
when mushrooms are at a premium: peel
and slice large radishes and when you
put your steak in the pan turn in the
sliced radishes and allow them to cook
in the juice OF the steak until quite
brown. Before taking them out put in
a generous piece Of butter. Season with
salt and pepper. They can hardly be
detected from the real article. Radishee
are always very good when boiled as
turnips are. Boil until very soft, season,
mash and cream.

Professor Gates has demon
strated this brain building and
mind culture not only in children
and adults, but also in animals
For one year, for several hours
each day, he trained dogs to dis
tinguish between colors. He did
this by placing several hundred
tin cans painted different colors
in the yard with the dogs and by
placing their food in cans Of one
color and by sending an electric
shock to the dogs il they would
touch any can but the right one
BY methods such as these, end
lessIy varied, he taught them to
avoid all pans but the right one,
which they would discriminate
eventually from the hundreds of
others of all shades, colors and
tints. They could at last distin-
guish between seven shades Of
red and seven of green, and thus
in many ways exhibited more
mentality than any unframed dog
In the light which these expe-
riments and demonstrations have
cast upon the paths of life. each

cending road lying before us, to-
ward unattained heights.
