TODAY'S HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

To Draw Poultry.
Cleaning chickens is one Of the things
that even the green cook and the
young housekeeper are supposed to
| know. Most cook books take it for
granted that they do know 1t. and one
seldom sees the directions printed. Here
is the process in a few words:
! fowl; take out the crop: loosen the
windpipe and the other stringy tubes.
Cut a slit across the fowl between
the legs and the tail; slip in the hand,
| fingers curled upward; catch the en-
trails at the upper end and draw out
the entire mass slowly, SO as not to
break the gall-the little green sack
which, If crushed, will give a bitter
taste to everything that it touches.
Take out the liver and heart, wash
and put away. Cut the gizzard open,
tear out the lining, wash and scrape it
thoroughly and put 1t away. Cut out
all the pieces. of fat found among the
entrails, wash them and use them for
larding the fowl when roasting. Cut
out the oil sack in the tail.
Cleaning poultry is not pleasant
piece Of work, but it Is not difficult,
and If you wish to teach an mex
perienced cook. or II need should arise
for you to do it yourself. you should
have no trouble If these directions are
followed carefully.
If the chicken has to be plucked as
well. the easiest way is to dip it several
times into boiling water. This loosens
the feathers SO they can be scraped off
quickly, but it also toughens the meat
and by far the better way is to dry
pick the chicken by hand, scraping the
feathers Off with knife where they
are easy to loosen. and pulling them out
by hand where they stick and are la
BILE to tear the skin.

BISCUIT-COLORED SUITS FOR SPRING.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.
Il Correspondence Of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, December 29.-America
is evidently much in favor OF biscuit
color clothes. Hats. wraps. frocks
suits, gloves and even shoe tops are
made of 1t. Its variations are sand
color, string color, and that other in
def1nable shade used in covert cloth.
The popularity of these tones in the
late autumn decided the question of
what colors we should wear through
out the next four months of cold
weather which constitute our actual
winter. Experience should have taught
US that there is little need of extra
heavy clothing before The dawning of
the new year; it is because of this fact
that our season begins for the south at
the same moment as our winter; it is
amusing to see the entire millinery
and dressmaking world offering white
nuslins and serges during sleet and
snowstorms.
If the tourist departments speak
truly this year. the people who sell
clothes will reap 4 harvest from mus
lin and thin serges, for everyyoRe who
has a penny to. squeeze for pleasure
wants to go SOUTH or to California.
This is one profit 70 America from the
European war. The usual midwinter
exodus to Europe will be lacking. and
of the north will drift for necessity
and for pleasures sake toward the
palms and pines. .
Sand Color Rivals White.
In other times white was the color
insistent1y shown for the southern ex-
odus and the gowns made of it were
intended as forerunners of new spring
clothes. Now, sand color, with it's sis
ters, biscuit and. twine, is rivaling
white Ti4s~is a good fashion, for all
white is not becoming to the majority
of people: The new tones of white;
which seem to be mixed with clay, are
vastly more becoming. and they lend
themselves. to much fashionable gar
nishing with. braff and fur. with gilt
and silver buttons, which white does
not. : - y =
The material known as kittens ear,
which is nothing more. or. less than
silk mapped broadeioth,- is usually the
choice for these suits and frocIs. Gov
ert has its own. tone. which rs well

What of covert cloth, is the first aues-
tion asked by those in trade. and out
of it.. Its popularity is practically es-
tablshed among those Whn are wearing
and selling the new clothes, but the
excessive use of it by the Wholesalers
in all manner of garments may dmin-
ish its vogue among fastidious women.

Blond people do not thrive in the
zones of perpetual sunshine, either
physically or morally. They are
more subject to disease. In point
of fact the blond type is dying out

ally fatal to those of lighter hue

STATE INSPECTORS
TO have MEETINGS
Northwestern HorticulturistS
viii Gather at Apple Show
November 10 10 Il.

The horticultural commissioners of
the four northwestern states will meet
in conference in Spokane during the
week of the seventh National Apple
Show, November 16 to 81.
The purpose of the session will be
not only to check over the work now
in progress in the various states but
to agree upon notifications which
may mean more uniform horticultural
laws in the northwestern states.
A special invitation has been ex-
tended by the Spokane chamber of
commerce and the trustees of the ap-
pie show to the commissioners and
inspectors in the northwest to meet in
Spokane, and in addition to their own
sessions to participate in the programs
of the fruit products congress which
will be held in conjunction with the
apple show. These conference dis
cussions will extend throughout the
entire six days of the apple show and
will cover a wide range of subjects.
viii Record Practical Ideas.
Some of the visiting commissioners
and state inspectors will take part in
the programs. Every effort will be
made by the apple show trustees to
make the fruit products congress of
definite and positive value to the or
chard industry. The special problem
before the show and conference is to
assemble the practical ideas of the
best orchardists, the type of men that
are seldom heard from.
Every effort will be made to get
these men from the different districts
into the general discussions on diff
ferent subjects under consideration,
and not only to get their opinions ad-
vanced for the benefit of those at
the meetings, but also to have their
talks taken by stenographers that they
may be of permanent value to the or
ehard business of the northwest.

LIGHT AND LIFE.
A Blow at Their Heretofore Supposed
~ Pleasant Relations.

Iy Pleasant Relations.
The part which light plays in the
economy of life has been greatly
misunderstood, if one is to believe
the latest outgiving of science. Ac-
cording to this, the sole function of
light in its relation to the life is to
break up the molecules of water
and carbon oxide gas and deliver
the product to the cells for the
manufacture of hydrocarbons. I'm
less an organism has protection
against them the rays of the sun
are injurious to it. If sufficiently
strong they kill it.
The X ray, for instance, and rays
from radium kill the skin if suf-
fered to play upon it for any length
of time. Long exposure to the sun
has an analogous effect, especially
if the skin is white. This is the
result of the same violet rays that
cause what is called sunburn. Heat
plays no part in the work.
"Glacier burn" is precisely the
same as sunburn. The tubercle
bacillus is killed by light long be-
fore the incident heat has reached
sufficient intensity to SO much as
impair its activity.
These are the considerations
which lead scientists to view the
color pigments in living things as

THE MOST USEFUL GRASS.
It Grows Hundred Feet High and ls
Called Bamboo

There Is grass that grows 100
feet high FOR bamboo is classified
with the grasses. And bamboo is
the most useful Of all the grasses,
for in the variety of its applica-
tons to the service of man it ex-
ceeds all other plants.
Most people are familiar with the
appearance of this treelike tropical
grass and the structure of its all
important stem or trunk.
Being remarkably light and
strong and at the same time elastic,
the stem is admirably suited for
making light bridges, the masts of
ships and for other structural work.
AT every joint there is a partition.
If these be removed, together with
the pithy filling, the trunk may be
used as water pipe. BY saving
across just below each segment the
trunk is converted into a series of
buckets OF water pals, each pail
having a partition for a bottom.
Life preseryers, boxes and quivers
are also made in a somewhat SINH
lar manner.
The hard, elastic stems are used
for bows and arrows, flutes, whis-
ties, pipestems and the familiar
walking cane Such a stem of good
quality makes an exceptionally
servieeable fishing rod.
Rattan, which is made by split
ting bamboo into thin strips, is
woven into nets, hats, umbrellas
and wickerwork. The leaves are
used to make hats and thateh.
They are mangled into pulp, which
is good base for certain kinds of
coarse paper.
The tender young shoots and the
seeds of bamboo are eaten cooked,
and crude beer is made from the
seeds. A sweet, viscous emulation
from some species is known as ia
Dos beer. 1t was known to the
Greeks in ancient times and called
Indian honey"
Moreover, there are species OF
bamboo that, on account of their
thorny nature, are used as a hedge,
as fertilization against wild animals
or human foes.-New York World.

Her One Fear.
A lady and her husband were
crossing the Atlantic for the first
time. Their steamer encountered
terribly rough weather, and they
were both very unwell. AS they lay
in their berths watching the lug
gage rolling about on the floor OF
the cabin and listening to the bangs
and bumps and the shouted orders
on deck, they thought their last
hour had come. Suddenly, from his
wife's corner, came feeble voice,
Just audible above the noise.
"John,' she said, "John, do you
think the people at home know
where our life insurance policies
are ?"
