Dinner From Scrap Heap.

From the National Food Magazine.
A year or two ago l was chef in a
country gentleman's household. The
morning after my arrival 1 looked
around the kitchen-garden and in the
dustbin that stood in the backyard l
saw a mixture Of food that could have
been made into a first-class dinner.
In about four quarts of milk that
had turned sour were swimming stale
half loaves, drumsticks of fowls, old
ham bones, cold boiled potatoes. trim
mings of dough made for piecrusts.
cracked eggs, some old Goldfish and
some spoiled macaroni. Next day 1
found a second consignment. very SIM
liar about to be carried away and
thrown out. / stopped this lot, sorted
it out, and, with the help of little
stock, half a dozen eggs and hare
that had been shot on the estate, serv-
ed seven-course dinner for fam
lily of ten that night. and the master
of the house called me up and COM
plimented me before the whole fam
lily on the best dinner they had had
for a. year
Afterward his wife sent for me and
told me that though pleased with the
dinner she feared l had been too ex-
and said that her rule was
not to allow more than seven shillings
per head in housekeeping. 1t was a
severe shock to her to hear l had fed
the family on the sins of the cook that
had left the day before, the cost being
not over ninepence per head.

The Breakfast Crouch.


FROM the Indianapolis News.
If a dinner smile is worth a dollar.
a breakfast smile is surely worth two,
for then the need is more than twice
as great. In many homes breakfast Is
a disordered rout, with time in hot pur-
suit. 1t is merely an interruption in
the fight from bedroom to office, school
or shop. And where haste is the rule
it Is no wonder that facetious with
cisms fly quick and true, and that
things are said which cause unpleasant
recollections when, an hour later, the
day is in full swing, and the mind has
lost itss abnormal sensitiveness. Hap
PLY, the haste that engenderS satirical
gibeS also serves to mitigate their Sc
verify. and by the time the family is
assembled for the next meal, much
tnat was said in haste at breakfast is
forgotten. But not all of it n cnance
remark uttered without thought is
very likely to open an old wound and
send some member of the family about
mis- business with a crouch that will
make his day one of pain to him and
his associates.
1t is this occasional shaft that con-
demns the whole practice of giving
way to petty annoyances at breakfast
time. One way to avoid it is to get
up ten minutes earlier. This affords
tIme for leisurely dressing and an OPP
other. and a better way. is to rise with
a song on your lips. Let it be a rauc-
Gus croak, sadly out of tune, if you
can do no better, but be sure that 1t
is merry song. And for the person
who has a strong mind and a modicum
of will power there is the simple plan
of resolving to be pleasant. But what
ever the scheme, its success will bring
a new and fresher outlook to the eX-
perimenter. Nor will it affect him
alone. Such is the power of pleasant
ness that without seeming to try, it
effects a reform among those upon
whom it is brought to bear: Nowhere
is the contagious nature of smile
more clearly revealed than at a break
fast table beset with grouches. 1t
comes like a light into a dark room,
and the person who can Withstand 1T
three mornings running must indeed
be a lost misanthrope. He will soon
find himself hopeless minority, and
as the converts increase his vanity.
however slight, will win him over. But
the transformation requires patience
and a deal of tact-two qual...es that
are far too rare.

Amateur Paperhanging.
St. Louis Post Dispatch.

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
Paperhanging is evidently one of
those things which every layman
thinks he can do better than the reg
ular professionals. These include run
ming a newspaper. running a hotel,
running the government. federal, state
and municipal. and commanding the
army and navy.
We would rather even try our own

There .A Ae so many excellent moral
principles to be educed from Ernests
experience that we hardly know which
one to educe. Indeed, we should Ike
to educe al of them if space were no

that a man ought not to kick over
the ladder by which he has risen; that
every man should know and keep
within his limitations; and we are most
forcibly reminded of the wise scrip

The Aggression of States.
From the Atlantic.

From the AtIantlc.
The world is divided. politically. into
states. These states are kind of abb
stract beings, distinct from the men.
women and children who inhabit them.
They are in perpetual and inevitable
antagonism to one another; and though
they may group themselves in alli-
ances, these can be only for temporary
purposes to meet some other alliance
or single power. For states are bound
by a moral or physical obligation to
expand indefinitely. each at the cost
of the others They are natural enc
mics, they always have been SO. and
they always will be; and force is the
only arbiter between them. That being
so. war is an eternal necessity. As a
necessity. it should be accepted. IL not
welcomed. by all sound thinking and
right feeling men. Pacifists are men
at once weak and dangerous. They
DENY a fact as fundamental as any of
the facts of the natural world. And
their influence, if they have any, can
only be disastrous to their state in its
ceaseless and inevitable contest with
other states.
