Suggestions From France.

Hors d'oeuvres are an essential part
OF the French dejeuner, but here they
are not often served at the family
luncheon. They are often convenient,
however, to exc out and give a little
appetizer to a luncheon that might
otherwise be scanty, and a few good
Ideas for hors d'oeuvres and savories
are valuable for the housewife. Here
are few sample recipes that can be
made and worked into a luncheon at
the last moment:
DevlIed Sardines.-Take .sardines,
warm them In their own oil, add a
little lemon Juice, season highly with
salt, pepper and English sauce, serve
very hot on small rounds of toast.
Savory Toast.-Chop very finely, or
run through meat chopper, any
pieces of cold chicken, beef, ham or
tongue. Pound to paste with the
Ecyolks of two hard boiled eggs, piece
of butter, pepper, salt, little Chut-
ney and Worcestershire. Spread rath-
er thickly on thin strips of toast and
set in the oven to heat.
Cheese Canapes.-Cut bread into
pieces one-half an inch thick, then
stamp them into circles with biscuit
cutter. Saute the bread in q little
butter until it is of an amber color on
both, sides. Cover the slices with a
thick layer of grated cheese, sprinkle
with salt, pepper and dash of cay
enne. Fifteen minutes before the
time to serve place them in the oven
for few minutes to soften the
cheese.
Anchovy canapes.-Spread strips of
fried bread with a thin layer of an.
chovy paste. Sprinkle over the top

chopped pickle. ~
Stuffed Eggs.-Cut hard boiled eggs
In halves. Take out the yolks care
fully and mix them with an equal
quantity of softened bread crumbs;
season highly with little butter, salt
and pepper. Moisten with any sauce;
add little raw egg. Fill the whites
from which the yolks were taken.

small piece off the bottom, so that the

! gray mass which had caught my eye
was the famous rock crowned with
King Cormac's chapel. The rock of
Cashel Is a name known to Irish
people all the world over. Its great
est day was when it was the seat of
the Munster kings, especially during
the reign of the illustrious and munifi-
cent Cormac.
"And If the court of the prelate king
! was splendid and brilliant the king
dom over which Cormac held sway
was worthy Of such capital and such
a monarch. 1t was rich and fertile
and beautiful beyond all power of ex-
preston. 1t teemed with plenty-its
resources were ineXhaustible. From
one blue mountain range to another
it was garden anu cornfield and
school all in one. There must have
been great happiness all over the
Golden Vale then, for the chroniclers
tell US that the kingdom was filled
with divine grace and worldly prosper
ity. The cattle needed no cowherd
and the flocks no shepherd SO long as
he was king"
Where the Devil Took a Bite.
The Rock of Cashel, whereon Cor
mac built his chapel, is one of the
most startling freaks of nature to be
seen in all Ireland. Three hundred
feet of sheer rock jut out of an i'm
mense smooth plain. Generations of
1rishmen, from away back before Cor
macs time, have wondered how 1t
came there. And in their poetic fash.
ion they have explained the natural
phenomenon by means of a curious
legend. If you stand on the rock you
can see off in the distance the DEVILS
Bit mountains.
The highest of them has a strange
appearance of having been bitten off
at the summit. The ragged edges
seem to have been made by monstrous
teeth. So they call them the DEVILS
Bit mountains. For according to the
legend, the old tempter of mankind
was once chasing an enemy around
the County Tfpperary. s T he ffend was
both angry and hungry, and he
stopped moment to take a huge
bite out of the hills to the north of
Cashel. But the runaway gained on
him when he paused for his bit of sup
per, and the fiend in his anger spat
the mouthful of rock after him. And
there it lies to this day to prove the
truth of tho chronicle
st. Patrick, of course, was before
King Cormac's day. The patron saint
of Erin was a great figure in Tip
perary. But. even before ST. Patrick's
coming Cashel was a military strong
hold and the seat Of kings. 1t is re-
lated that two swineherds dreamed
they saw an angel blessing the rock.
They told their dream to the king of
Munster, who built fort there early
in the fifth century.
1t was in this same century that
Patrick came 10 convert~Ireland. 1t
was on the Rock of Cashel that ST.
Patrick preached to King Agus and
his people, and plucked from the
grass at his feet the little shamrock
that ever since has symbolized the
blessed Trinity.

Potato and Onion Salad.

Pare and cut potatoes into thin
slices, parboil until done but not
washed Drain and pour on shallow
dish. Now take centers of boiled
onion rings, mash with fork, add a
sitting of salt and pepper, then mix
with enough boiled dressing to make
a smooth, rather thick emulsion Sift
salt and pepper over the potatoes,
then cover with the dressing and let
1t stand for an hour to ripen. This is
nice luncheon dish and can be
served with rings of hard boiled eggs,
cured bacon or boiled ham.

Bakino Cookies.

If you have difficulty with your
cookies, either because they cook too
fast on the bottom or are hard to get
out of the pan, try using large drip
ping pan and Placing the cookies on
the bottom of the pan rather than In
it. Turn the pan upside down, lay a
piece of buttered paper or paraffin
paper on it and then lay on the
cookies. They will cook evenly and
there will be no danger of breaking
them when taking them off.

Cupid's Test
of Love

Copyright, 1915. by w. G. Chapman.)
When Rev. Aloysius Smith went out
of his study and saw the man stand
ing in the hall he could not repress
a shudder of disgust. Broad as an
OK, with short and rather bowed legs,
still his figure was that of an Adonis
compared with his face. And the
last straw was that his name should
be Cupid.

an effort. What can do for your"

The pastor looked at the fellow
with a repugnance which he could
not conceal.
Il know my face is against me,
sir" said Cupid with a smile.
And 1t was astonishing how the
smile changed him. Cupid smiling
looked almost decent.
The pastor racked his brains. He
took a sudden liking to the man, and
he %as resolved not to be prejudiced
against him on account of his looks. =

Miss Cavendish was a maiden lady
of about forty years.

and very determined-it is a type
common In New England. Before a

Cavendish, very soft-spoken. he was
the sort of man whose very flawless-
ness makes one think there may be
more wrong with him than appears on
the surface. People sort of distrust-

see that Miss Cayendish was infatu-
ated with the man. Mr.. Norman
didn't like Cupid. The two came from
the same town, and, though it was
not likely that they had ever been
closely associated, Cupid seemed to
know something to the discredit of

OBSERVATIONS.
(By Our Man About Town.

| IL.
A newspaper article from Wash
ington, d. c., says: The Department
of Agriculture has for several years
been testing various poisons to dis
cover the most efficient cans of era
dicating the troublesome dandelion
from lawns, and, although others
have been found quite satisfactory,
the common salt is best for general
use because there positively can be
no danger accompanying its applica-
ton. The best way to kill the indi-
vidual plants is to cut off their tops
as near the ground as possible. This
will leave the roots protruding thru
the ground. About a thimbleful of
salt should be poured directly upon
the roots. This plan is probably the
best to use if the lawn is not too
thickly dotted. If it is, some sort
of spray should be used. Salt is in
furious to grass, so it should be used
carefully.
During the last few years, so
paper from that state says, the su-
perintendent of parks in Grand
Forks N. D., has been studying diff
ferent methods of graduating the
pest. His conclusions are about the
same as have been given i'll previous
suggestions in this column. Where
there are but few plants, cut the tops
and pour gasoline or kerosene onto
the roots exposed. He differs with
the above suggestion only in using
the liquids instead of salt. Where the
plant already has taken possession
of lawn, he suggests the use Of
sulphate of iron spray, as mention
ed last week. He advocates a strong
Ter mixture, however, advising a
pound and a half of the suiphate to
one gallon of water. This, ne says,
should be applied on a bright morn
ing when there is little probabil-
ity of rain that day.
