Dictatino AIoft.

When the military aeroplane is
scouting, it usually carries two men.
One is the pilot, who runs and steers
the craft; the other is the observer,
who marks the placing of the hostile
troops, the position of their guns, the
movement of trains, and the like. The
observer also makes many sketches
of the ground over which he is fly
ing-work that often interferes with
his writing notes and memoranda In
certain conditions of flight, too, it is
often hard for him to use a pencil
and paper. To obviate that difficulty,
the military aeroplane, says the Scien-
title American, now frequently carries
photograph, with speaking tube
running to the mouth Of the observer,
so that by talking into the machine at
any time during the flight, he can re-
cord his observations, and still have
his hands free for his field glass or
his sketching pencil.

ishes from any vegetables. A wire
basket is convenient to hold greens,
string beans, or even potatoes. while
cooking, as thus they are less likely
TO adhere to the bottom of the ket-
tie, and often it is easier to remove
the basket than to drain off the water
A potato masher of strong, continu-

~ style.
Cooking Terms From France.
A few of the terms indicating the
use of vegetables may be of service
in studying books arranged by chefs:
A la-According to, or in the
style of.
Au Gratin-With Drowned crumbs,
as of bread; sometimes with cheese.
Bouquet of Herbs-A sprig each Of
several kinds, as marjoram, parsley,
celery leaf, savory, thyme
Creole or West Indian-With to-
matoes, often also with peppers,
onions and mushrooms.
Jardiniere-Mixed vegetables.
Macedoine-A medley or mixture Of
vegetables, often with meat.
Without meat, as vege-
table soup
Printainiere-A garnish of spring
vegetables.
Puree-Material mashed through a
strainer.
Roux-F'lour Drowned in butter.
or swollen, as by beaten white of egg.
Suggestions for Serving.
Soups-One of the best ways to use
leftover vegetables is in soups. A
cupful of cooked cauliflower with some
of the water in which it was cooked
and an equal amount of milk and a
slight thickening of butter and flour
will provide cream of caulifOwer
soup. If the vegetable already has
white sauce with it, reduce it with
milk to the right consistency, season
and strain, and the soup is ready.
A good tasting soup can be made
with an onion, the trimmings Of a
bunch OF celery and the outside leaves
of a head of lettuce, all cut up fine
and cooked ina little water and but
ter or other suitable fat When ten
der add skim or whole milk, thicken
with little flour or some one Of the
granular breakfast cereals which
cook quickly, season and serve. If pre-
ferred, the milk and cereal may be
cooked separately, added to the vege-
tables, and all boiled up together.
A PURGE is half way between a cream
soup and mashed vegetables; it is
sometimes a thick soup, but oftener
strained vegetables made soft with
milk or stock and butter, and served
with meats, for instance, PURGE Of
split peas, dried lima beans or cow
peas.

Real DAUGHTER of the Reuiment.

"Our regiment has adopted two
year-old Turkish girl baby" writes a
Cossack who is serving with the Rus
sian advance into the Turkish Cauca-
sus. He explains: During our for
ward movement last week one of our
men found in a farm house this baby,
which had been abandoned by her flee
ing parents. The starving little crea-
ture was cleaned, clothed and fed, and
then taken to the staff quarters. In
the Greek church of the village of Bar
dus the founding was christened &C
cording to the rites of the Orthodox
church, the commander of the regi-
ment acting as godfather and Princess
Gelovanna, a Red Cross nurse and
wife of a member of the duma, as god
mother. The child was named Alexan-
dra Donskaia, after the name of the
regiment. The officers and men of the
regiment subscribed monthly amounts
sufficient to pay for rearing and edu-
eating their regimental daughter

Skunks Kill Army Worms.

The skunk is the best known NAM
NAL enemy of army worms. The COM
mon army worm, the wheat head army
worm and the fall army worm are all
very destructive to small grains, corn
and grasses, and their invasions entail
heavy losses among farmers. The good
work Of skunks in destroying army
worms has frequently been noticed.
In a report of this insect in Penn
sylvania, published in 1896, DR.. B. H.
Warren brought forward much testi-
mony of farmers as to the usefulness
Of skunks in the work of extermina-
ton. Also he had examined some
skunk stomachs which contained chief
ly beetles and army worms. Professor
Lugger of Minnesota also mentioned
the skunk as one of the principal enc
mics of the army worms in that state.

ELDERLY MAN "OFFICE BOY"
New Yorker Who Has Tried Scheme
More Than Satisfied With
Results Achieved.

A broadway business man was talk
Ing to friend who was looking for a
good office boy.
Cut out the boys" he said with
confidence, and get an old man who
is willing to work for less than a
mans wages. began it about year
ago and | never did a better thing.
I got the suggestion from a man
not in business, but physician. He
had ordered some article or other
which had not come promptly and he
came in person to see about it.
told him, which was true, that / had
been bothered SO by changing my Of
flee boys that l couldn't get it to him.
Then he blew out, at me and asked
me why | didn't get an old man to do
office boy work and l wouldn't have
any more bother.
1T looked so different at first that
l laughed at him, but he insisted so
that it was the only cure that l con-
cluded | would try it. / knew of an
old chap, honest and living with his
son, doing small jobs and helping all
he could for his keep, and l asked him
how he would like to be office boy for
me. He laughed just as did at first,
but l insisted on his trying it and he
agreed to come and do the best he
could but wouldn't guarantee that he
would be satisfactory.
'He came the next day and though
he was bit slow at first he was al
ways ready and willing and in a week
or SO l was so well satisfied with him
that l wouldn't have traded him for
all the boys | had been bothered with
for five years. He isn't perfect, nor
is anybody, for that matter but he is
reliable and honest, never soldiers on
me, doesn't smoke cigarettes or read
dime novels, isn't fresh around the
store, is always polite and is always
on time.
II pay him 81 week and he is glad
enough to get it, and he isn't SO old
but that he is good for at least ten
years of duty, which will also be ten
store. l don't say that any old man
will be as satisfactory as this one, but
I do say that nine-tenths of the old
fellows will make better office boys
than the average we have to put up
with.
"Try an old man for an office boy
and see if you can do any worse than
you have been doing. Several of my
friends are doing it and so far they
are all pleased with the change"

Rabelais and Censorship.

It is not to Kitchener nor the British
war department that credit should be
given for the rigid press censorship,
but to a physician, Rabelais. In his
"Pantagruelian Representation" he
says: Since, then, they are so ready
to ask after news, and consequently
the more glibly swallow down every
fiimfam story that is told them, were
it not expedient that some people, on
whose faith we might depend, should
hold offices of intelligence on the
frontiers of the kingdom, and have a
competent salary allowed them, for
nothing else but examine the news
that is brought, whether it is true or
not?"

Does Egg Dance at Seventy-EIoht,

Albert Pankopf, seventy-eight years
old, bent and white-haired, danced
bl1ndfolded among Is eggs, laid in
two rooms at intervals of a foot, for
several minutes without breaking a
she'll. For more than fifty years Pro-
fessor Pankopf has been performing
this feat, but at the annual Schlacht-
fest of the Saxonia and General Ger
man Benevolent association he danced
as never before The years dropped
from him as he danced. When the
music stopped the old man fell into
the arms of spectator. Weak
heart" he gasped. He soon recov-
cred himself and bowed in response
to the cheers.-St. Paul Dispatch.
