MOST NUTRITIOUS FOOD

The full value of butter, both as an
appetizer, as a nourishing article of
diet, as a seasoning and as a garnish-
ing, ~ realized by very few cooks.
Butter is really one of the most valu-
able foods In the larder u - not
merely to spread chunkily on bread
although 1t Is good enough there; 1t
should be made an interesting part
of the meals at which It Is served
In middle class French families the
real value Of butter is better under
stood than 1t Is here. Every morning
the butter IL left at the door. Just as
the milk is; and 1t is fresh. creamery
butter, too, for the most part-always
fresh instead of salt. The butter Ia
then chilled and shaved into wafer
like strips for breakfast, to be eaten
this meal. AT luncheon butter is fire.
quently served-always daintily-with
bread and radishes, or some other
side dish. as an appetizer. Then, eat
en- slowly, Its goodness can be appre-
ciated.
II the making of butter pats or
molds is a burden, try making them
only once in three days. Keep them
In bowl of Ice water in the refriger-
ator, and they will retain their shape
even in the warmest weather. It does
sometimes seem troublesome for maid
or mistress to have to spend five or
ten minutes before each meal making
butter pats; but fifteen minutes once
In two or three days will be enough
for the making Of many molds, since
the utensils and materials need only
be got out once. and since a certain
deftness comes with repeated making.
and the second score of butter balls
can be made in half the time 1t took
to make the first score.
The small wooden n,olds are easier
to manage than paddles, and surely
prints of butter from the molds look
and taste as we'll as balls of butter
formed with the paddles. To manage
the molds, wash them In ice water,
and then stamp the butter out care
bully, taking care to push the bottom
Of the mold as far out as possible be-
fore removing the print. The butter
should be cold when II Is printed.
Horseradish butter is good with
cold meats and 1t is also delicious to
use when making meat sandwiches
To make 1t. cream two tablespoonful
Of butter add two of freshly grated
horseradish, a tablespoonful of thick
cream and half teaspoonful of lemon
juice. Keep 1t on the ice.
Maitre d'hotel butter is used to
spread over broiled steak or fish. To
make 1t. cream two tablespoonful of
butter. add slowly a half teaspoonful
Of salt, an eighth of teaspoonful of
white pepper. tablespoonful of lem
on juice and the same amount Of
minced parsley.
Parsley butter can be used with
vegetables. To make 1t cream three
tablespoonfuls of butter and add a
tablespoonful of lemon Juice. the same
amount Of minced parsley and half .
teaspoonful of salt.

They, of all Germans, cling to tn,
old costume and in their little col
ony, although there are differences Ii
headdress and the number of petit
coats, the ancient custom is followea
exactly.
One Petticoat After Another.
The most important thing is the pet
ticoats. There is one on top of an
other, layer after layer, and the NOR
petticoats the richer and finer tbs

elaborate apron gaily embroidered h
many colors, and this, like the cap

In the rural districts of Holland ths
predominant characteristic of WON
ems costume and the one to which
particular attention is paid is the
coiffe or cap. Every town and village
has a style distinctly its own where

Volendam, Marken or iceland.
Many of the caps are Of the mos
exquisite lace, some plain, others or

of precious metal. The Dutch won

recklessness than reason.

of chains and trinkets, oftener of mass

The Hungry Hat.

A certain Doctor Helm, a German
man of science, once stopped for
luncheon at hotel In Wiesbaden. The
chair next to him was unoccupied, SO
he put his hat upon 1t, and sat down.
When he came to settle his account,
he was surprised to find that he was
charged for two plates; but the head
waiter insisted that he had reserved
a second place, because no one could
sit where his hat lay; SO Doctor Helm
paid without word.
The next day he returned to the
hotel. sat at the same table, and put
his hat, as before, on the chair next
to him. He ate hearty meal, and as
the waiter was about to clear away
the dishes, he said: wait a minute,
friend. My hat here. that is also pay
ing for dinner. is very hungry, as
you may suppose. since 1t paid for its
dinner yesterday, but didn't eat any
thing" With these words, Helm lined
his hat with a newspaper, and filled
1t up to the brim with bread, cookies,
fruit, and all sorts of good things. He
then placed the bullying hat carefully
under his arm, and walked out in
triumph.
The lesson had a good effect, for
since that time no one in that hotel
has had to pay for the seat that was
occupied by his hat.-Youth's Com
panion.

~2 HERE are hundreds of thou
sands of women In Europe to-
day who have never seen a
fashion book. There are young
girls to whom Easter has never
meant new hats or spring styles, but
just the time to leave off two win
ter petticoats and the heavy wooden
socks.
There are rosy-cheeked maids who
make their dresses after the mod
els their Observation-Disclosures wore.
These girls would laugh at a hob
Bile skirt and would stare In open
mouthed wonder at a bird of para
disc.
To the modern American woman,
who, even in the smallest town, sub
scribes to three or four fashion maya
zines, who has the village dressmaker
remodel her last years poplin on the
lines OF the fashionably draped gown
OF her city sister, the state of affairs
which leaves woman not only ig-
norant but apathetic about the main
interest In life" Is appalling and in
SchipiSucuSlDle.
She Is Twice as Comfortable.
And when the American woman
learns that these antiquated costumes
prevail only 80 miles from one of the
biggest cities in the world, as, for in
stance, the Spreewald costume, worn
at Leipe and Burg, quite near Berlin,
or in those centers frequented by tour
lists and travellers, she will probably
exclaim with amazement:
And can she wear those ugly hot
things when she sees how comfortable
and cool our dresses are!p
But the peasant girl can retort that
she Is twice as comfortable in her
loose. easy clothes, and that she
spends probably one-thousandth of the
time on planning the dresses as her
American sister does; that, in addi-
ton, she spends only small percent
age of her money on weird monstrosi-
ties of style, and that what she pays

for is the material itself, and not the
ever-varying opinion of the self-styled
connoisseurs, who shift the fashions
as soon as woman has new dress.
Waste money on clothes!" cried
Miss Dresswell; why, it isn't waste.
See how nice look"
And the French peasant, in her
quaint gathered smock, with simple
kerchief drawn across her chest, and
a white cap fitting tightly over her
smooth tresses, looks at the American,
from her tight, pointed shoes with
their high heels, to the top of her
aeroplane hat, growing ostrich plumes
or flower gardens. She notices the
tight skirt, the drawn-in waist line,
the high-boned collar. and she says:
"Mademoiselle is doubtless very
chic, but | think still that my clothes
are the best
And there is great charm in the
simplicity of the gayly colored cos
tune, as one sees 1t on happy young
girl singing at sunrise in the fields
or bringing home the baskets of fish
at sunset
In Brittany the wooden shoes or sa-
bots. so long considered distinguish
ing feature of Holland, are universal
ly worn, perhaps more so than in Hol-
land. For there there is a growing
tendency to discard the old custom.
But In Brittany the people are super
stitious to an intense degree and seem
to regard 1t as a religious duty that
they shall still wear the costumes
of their ancestors and continue the
trades and daily duties that made up
the life of hundred years ago.

cent should he draw from the treas
ury. II he made one little move
against the peace and harmony OF the
New Yorker the majesty OF the law
would be invoked and he would nno
himself behind prison bars. He was
talked to in the plainest English. Mr..
Goldsmith talked In loud voice. he
conveyed the idea that he owned the
earth. When he had tired himself
out and was taking a rest, Jose quiet
ly asked:
Am I, then, to understand that my
services are no longer asked:
"Of course you are"
But about this striker"
Il can settle it without your help"
And as to what may do with my
band?'
"Poof! Look here, my man, let me
give you a pointer: Don't come mon
keying around here unless you are
aching to get hurt. II the law won't
protect US, we will protect ourselves.
Do you savey?"
The outlaw did. He bowed ana
smiled and took his departure. IL
was a cold bluff, and he meant to call
1t when the proper time came.
DO you think he will try to make
us trouble?" asked the president OF
the superintendent when Jose had de-
parted.
Sure to-"
II don't. I think l bluffed him out.
However, there are the muskets."
And not a cortridge for one OF
them"
Cartridges are awfully expensive.
l think that empty muskets will do
the trick. Nothing like bluff II you
rub 1t in hard enough"
The strike lasted four days, with
all quiet around the mine, when Jose
Favara rode up. 1t was early in the
morning and President Goldsmith was
eating a picnic breakfast. The out
law had 80 men with him, and each
and every one had business look
about him.
when the senior Is quite through
with breakfast, l should like to see
him." was the message sent to the
magnate.
Ten minutes later he appeared and
ordered the outlaw to go way back
and sit down. He was seized, bound
and carried off among the mountains.
He called for help, but there was no
help. He yelled "Police!" "Fire!" and
"Murder!" by turns, but the staff left
behind numbered only five men. and
they had no cartridges.
An hour later President Goldsmith
was at the outlaws headquarters. Two
hours later he had got over bluffing
and was indicting a telegram to
New York banker. The telegram
asked for $4,000. The money was
forwarded to town designated, and
week after the abduction 1t was In
the hands of Jose Favara, and Presi-
dent Goldsmith was set free within
half a mile of the mine, to find his
way in. At the hour of his arrival the
strike was called off,
Didn't l tell you what the man
could do?" asked the superintendent,
as the president came staggering in.
Eyes, but I thought he could be
bluffed. He has taken $4,000 out of
me. We must fix it some way to
charge it up to machinery or repairs"

What 10 Instlnct3

Instinct Is generic term compr,s-
ing all those faculties Of mind which
lead to the conscious performance of
actions that are adaptive in character
but pursued without necessary knowl-
edge of the relation between the
means employed and the ends attained
1t is hardly necessary to remark that
sometimes instinct" comes so close to
reason" that 1t is almost impossible
to distinguish between them.

A Chinese Superstition.

When a Chinese baby takes a nap PEG.
pie think Its soul is having rest-going
out for long walk perhaps. If the nap
is very long one the mother is .frighten-
ed. She is afraid that her babys soul
has wandered too far away and cannot
find its way home. Ii it doesn't come
back. of course the baby will never
awaken. Sometimes men are sent out
INTO the streets to call the baby's name
over and over again, as though it were a
real child lost. They hope to lead the
soul back home. If baby sleeps while
it is being carried from one place to an
other the danger of losing the soul along
he way is very great SO whoever car
ries the little one keeps saving its name
out loud, SO that the soul will not stray
away They think of the soul as bird
hopping along after them.

that the railroads should have sufficient

speech as delivered on the floor of the
Senate filled seven pages. OF the Con-

II was necessary 10 issue the remarks Of
the Wisconsin senator as Part ia

issue OF The Record ever printed.

money. The contention Of Senator La
Toilette that no one has any right to pro-
test against the destruction OF railroad
credit is hardly worth speech seven
pages long; indeed. if it had been dspos-
