USE OF OILS AND PERFUMES
One Of the Most Ancient Customs Sttn
Maintained In the Lands OF
the Orient.

The use of unguents applied to the
hair and skin as an act OF toilet Is an
ancient custom, especially in connec-
ton with cleansing and bathing
Among the Jews 1t was an almost
daily practice to make use OF oils and
perfumes.
Luxury led to specially scented oils
often as a sign Of Joy, discontinued
during the time of mourning and re-
sumed as a sign Of favor and pros
perity.
The amounting of guests on arrival
or at feasts was customary In Christ's
time, Simon's failure of hospitality in
this respect Is commented upon by
our Lord.
Some modern jewellers In the Orient,
perpetuating the ancient customs in
an ignorant and depraved form, too
frequently omit the bathing, which in
ancient times always preceded the
amounting, and only the perfumes re-
main. Certain perfumes have been
almost wholly nonopolized by certain
undesirable classes of people.
The brighter, cleaner survivals OF
the ancient custom are met with in
the daily life at weddings, where
guests are met with showers Of rose
leaves, OF sprayed with rose water,
cologne water, orange flower water,
while most costly ointments are ap-
piled to the hands and face.-The
Christian Herald.

POPULAR DAINTIEs OF ITALY
Recipes for Potted DeIicacies That
Are Not Well Enough Known
in America.

Housekeepers may be interested in
trying to make these 'spotted dainties.'
The recipes are fresh from Italy and
all ingredients are procurable here. To
make potted tomatoes, cook peeled
and shredded onion with three, fair
sized tomatoes very slowly to a pulp
in half an ounce of butter.
Then pass through sieve, add a
well whisked egg and stir over the
fire until thick, when, having blended
thoroughly, add two ounces of grated
cheese, then four ounces Of fine white
bread-crumbs. Pour into clean, dry
jars. Cover with a half-inch layer of
liquefied butter.
Potted haricot beans are made by
first soaking the beans overnight
Then skin them and cook until tender
in boiling sailed water with tive
onions Drain away all water, mash
smooth with drippings or butter, sea-
son agreeably with salt, pepper and
nutmeg and finish as above, remem-
bering that rigorous exclusion of air
will insure freshness for at least two
or three weeks. AS rule, pastes do
not keep very long.
Imitation anchovy paste may be
made from the same recipe, adding
two teaspoonfuls of anchovy essence
to impart the desired flavor.

Leoend of the Lincoln Imp.

Have you ever heard the story OF
the Lincoln Imp" Listen, and ]
will tell you about that wicked little
sprite.
In the eastern part of England
there is a quaint old town named
Lincoln, or Linclum, as it was called
in olden days. This town, which is
hundreds of years old, is built on q
hillside, and what do you think is on
top of that hill? A beautiful cathe-
dral! One day, a long time ago, the
devil let loose some of the little de-
mons to play. One of them thought
it would be great fun to get into the
cathedral and make mischief. So he
slipped away from the others and en-
tering the church he ran down the
aisles, and after tearing up the prayer
books he broke the two great candle
sticks which were on the altar, and
did ever so many other wicked and
naughty things. Suddenly he heard
the sound of music! 1t was the organ
playing and the choir singing for YES
pers The music enchanted the little
devil and he remained quiet for so
long time that he finally was turned
to stone, and there he has stayed
ever since. You may see him to this
day, perched high on the columns of
the choir. This is the legend of the
Lincoln Imp. Churchman.

If You Feel Nervy."

No one can help feeling so at times
in this age Of rush and racket, but 1t
is quite possible to put on the brake,
as 1t were, and not let the nerves run
away with us.
Here are a few wise hints on the
subject:
If people fret you, it is not neces-
sary to be rude to them. Try, in
stead, to avoid them.
Don't read books that irritate you.
Books are plentiful, therefore put
away the offending volume and choose
another.
If a noise at night worries you, don't
let it continue to do so. Get up and
see to the matter, and put it right.
Don't let yourself get into the habit
of being bored. It is not worth while.
When you feel It coming on, plunge
at once into some task that will take
all your time and energy.
It is better to run away from GER
tain things than let them irritate you.
Such martyrdom is usually unneceS
sary, and bad for you all round

Truthful James.

Jim had been brought up in the
country and the paths of righteous
ness Even as child he had been a
truthful little fellow, and this rare vir-
tue did not desert him when he came
to mans estate-which is queer, as
things go.
1t so happened that he was on one
occasion hailed before the bench
charged with poaching. 1t was mis-
take on the part of the police, and
James was indignant. Quivering with
rage, he denied that he had ever, on
this OF any other occasion, shot bird
out of season or belonging to someone
else.
"Oh, say now!" protested the mag.
istrate. do you mean to tell me you
have never in your whole life poached
bird?"
Eyes, do, sir?" answered James,
with conviction. Never in my life
have I shot bird that hadn't right
to-never, except once, and that was
a rabbit what 1 dumped over the head
with a stick"

MERELY A FAMILY MATTER
Woman Had Her Own Reasons for
Not Wanting the Automobilist
to Be Arrested.

At the corner of Euclid and Su'
perior-that bad East Cleveland cor
ner-the other evening an automobile
driven faster than the law allows
struck a well-dressed woman and
threw her into the gutter. The driver
did not stop to learn what damage he
might have done, but put on a little
more speed.
Luckily, the woman was not much
hurt, and a genial suburban police
man politely asked her name and adj
dress. This information, however, she
sturdily refused to give. Then the po-
liceman put out after the machine.
Where are you going?" asked the
woman
81 am going to arrest the man for
speeding" answered the officer.
ooh, please don't do that. 1t won't
do you any good, and it won't do. me
any good. The driver of that car was
my husband. Please let him go!"
And the cop did.-Cleveland Plain

His Conscience Bothered.

The ragged wayfarer trudged up
the garden path bathed in the sum
shine and took off his hat to the lady
at the door. She eyed him keenly and
a look of recognition passed over her
countenance.
Look here" she said, 'you called
at this house in the middle of the
winter"
q did, ma'am," he sorrowfully adj
mitted.
"And I gave you a good meal ON
condition that you swept the snow
out of my back yard"
That's right, ma'am."
''And when you had the meal you
went off without doing it."
The man passed the back OF his
hand TREMENDOUSLY over his eyes.
"Yes;~Ga'arn, ne said. brokeniy,
"and my conscience smote me. That's
why I've tramped all the way back,
under the scorching sun, to finish the

USING BREAD CRUMBS
COOKING ECONOMY WELL WORTH
NEEDING.
Odd Pieces Should Always Be Saved
and Made Use of in One Way or
Another-Some Ways Of EN-
pIoying Them.

Waste in the kitchen amounts al
most to sin in these days when the
price of food is high and money is
scarce in most households. Yet waste
goes on every day in the average
kitchen-waste that could very easily
be curtailed if the housewife used
economical methods. A good many
home cooks honestly believe that they
are practicing the most rigid economy
in their homes, when all the time odd
pieces of bread, left-overs OF meat,
vegetables and sweets are thrown
away, regardless of the fact that they
could be used again.
Perhaps more waste takes place
with bread than with any other one
staple in the kitchen. Every bit of
bread should be saved and made use
of in one way or another. This rule
need not conjure up dreary vista of
stale crust munching, however. The
housewives toast must still be crisp
and toothsome, her afternoon tea
slices as fresh and thin as ever; but
it is in the use of unused scraps of
bread, stale toast, ends of leaves,
crusts cut from bread and toast, that
the housekeeper can show her eco
nomical skill All these scraps-the
waits and strays of the bread jar
should be looked over every morning
and assigned definite duties.
The days needs will first be dealt
with, the crumbs or croutons required
sorted out and put to one side. Every
unwanted scrap should then be cut
into fairly uniform squares, placed in
a baking dish and baked carefully in
a slow oven to a delicate golden
brown shade. Care should be taken
to carry out these instructions to the
letter. The crumbs must be baked
carefully and in a slow oven il one
wishes to have them in any condition
fit for use. Too often has the house
wife thrust her crumbs into a hot
oven, forgotten them for a few min
utes, then pulled them out only to
find a black mass of charred re-
mains of what once was dish of
bread crumbs. 1t is wise idea to
leave the oven door ajar; in this way
the first sign of burning is detected.
To test the proper baking of these
leftover pieces of bread, break one
of the thickest pieces; if it snaps
crisply, the bread is ready to be taken
from the oven. With a rolling pin
and baking board the bread can easily
be crushed into fine crumbs and may
be sifted afterward if uniform fine
ness is desired. Some busy cooks put
the baked crusts through a mincing
machine with good results. The
bread should be reduced to crumbs
the moment it is baked, for If left ly-
ing about the moisture in the air will
be absorbed and the crispness is lost.
Many cooks enjoy the sensation of
crunching their golden crumbs.
Visions of brown coated outlets, gold
en- croquettes and savory fishballs
float before their eyes during the op-
Grafton, for the crumbs can be used
for all these purposes and many more
besides.

Cup Custards.

Heat quart of milk in a double
boiler, but do not bring it quite to the
boil. Beat five eggs light and stir into
them half a cupful of sugar. On this
mixture pour the scalding milk very
gradually, beating steadily all the time
Return to the double boiler and cook
stirring constantly, until the custard is
separated. Remove the custard from
the fire, season with two teaspoonfuls
of vanilla and set aside to cool. When
cold, nearly fill the glasses or cups
with the mixture and heap with
meringue made by whipping the
whites of two eggs stiff with two table
spoonfuls of sugar.

MAKES A SPLENDID DESSERT
Housewives Should Learn More About
the Possibilities of the Hum
BILE Chestnut.

Few women are aware what dell
cious deserts may be made with the
humble little chestnuts. French
cooks know the worth of chestnuts
full well, and their recipes are justly
celebrated.
For chestnut mousse, delicacy Mt
for the gods, or luncheon de luxe,
shell and blanch about two cupfuls of
chestnuts which have been boiled until
tender Rub the chestnuts through
sieve, and stir them carefully into
pint of whipped cream, to which have
been added half cupful of powdered
sugar and teaspoonful of vanilla ex-
tract Add two teasponfuls of maras-
chino cordial, turn into mold and
pack away in ice and salt for five
hours. Serve with whipped cream
dashed with rum.
To make marrons glaces, a delicacy
that is rather costly when bought at
a confectioners, yet which is of great
value to the housekeeper who loves
tasteful garnishing, select large, per-
feet chestnuts Shell and simmer a
pint of the nuts in boiling water until
tender. Drain and toss into cold water
to make them firm. Let the chestnuts
drain a moment, then turn them out
on a towel and see that each one is
thoroughly dry. A strip must now be
made by boiling a cup of sugar in
pint of water, and in this simmer the
chestnuts for an hour. Drain off the
strip and to it add a few drops of
vanilla extract Then cook it until it
becomes brittle when dropped in cold
water-as one tries candy. Set the pan
of strip in a larger pan of hot water
to keep the hot sirup from cooling and
candying, and dip in the chestnuts one
by one removing them and placing On
