EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS.

He is wise, who will avail himself
Of others experiences and profit BY
them; but human nature Is q good
deal alike in all ages. We wish to
have our own make our own Mistakes
and successes. To one who has a III
tie knowledge Of the principles OF
cookery, the school Of experience is
often a dear teacher. The path is
smoothed somewhat for her who Will
follow a few of the underlying princtfi
pies Of cookery, Of which the follow
ing are some:
Never bake or cook food that has
egg in 1t at a very high temperature.
II egg Is to be baked, set the dish IN
a pan Of hot water to equalize the
heat and temper II.
All vegetables should be rSt to cook
in boiling water, as the starch needs
a high temperature to burst the
grains. Baked potatoes are thus more
wholesome because a higher tempera-
ture than boiling can be maintained
throughout the cooking.
Potatoes, to be dry, mealy and df
gestible when boiled; should be
drained as soon as tender, then cover
Of the kettle removed and the steam
quickly dispelled from them by shak-
ing the kettle over the heat.
Coffee is ruined by long cooking on
the grounds. II it is to be served
boiled, see that the pot is clean and
sweet; put in a tablespoonful OF coz
Zee for every cup of boiling water, g
pinch of salt, and then pour on the
fresh boiled water. Keep the cover
up and watch It; when it boifs up
stir it down. Do this three times, then
put down the lid and set 1t aside for
Eve minutes to settle. Egg adds TO
the flavor as well as settles coffee.
and may be added, to its improving
| When adding egg, however, remember
to dilute It well with cold water, TO-
dissolve the albumen before stirring
it into the coffee, for otherwise 1t
coats the coffee and the strength Is
not extracted. u
If the ideal method for making COT.
fee is used, very finely ground coffee
is cooked in a p%ercolator. There is no
danger Of getting bitter, unwhoiesome,
coffee by this method, as the liquid
cannot stand on the grounds.
If cream is not obtainable for this
good cup of coffee, a third OF q cup
Of hot milk put into the cup and g
little strong coffee added makes q
eair substitute.

Wisdom of Quiet.

More than half a century Of exist
ence has taught me that most Of the
wrong and folly which darken earth Is
due to those who cannot possess their
souls in quiet; that most Of the good
which saves mankind from destruction
comes of life that is led in thoughtful
stiffness. Every day the world grows
noisier; I, for one, will have no part
in that increasing clamor and, were 1t
only by my silence, I confer a boon on,

atrocities. and that these stories are
nearly as harmful as the verified
atrocities themselves. They will
