SIMPLE WAY TO TEST CREAM
French Scientist Has Given to tho
World q Discovery That 10 OF
Distinct Value.

Professor Lindet of the French
Agronomic institute has given to the
Academy of Agriculture very simple
process for calculating rapidly the
quantity of fatty matter in cream.
It Is the fatty matter that gives cream
its quality, the more Of this butter the
better the cream. This Is the process:
A drop Of cream is placed upon
sheet of paper and introduced at once
into an oven heated to 105 degrees
centigrade. The watery part or the
cream evaporates and the fat, ab-
sorbed by the paper, forms a spot
when enlarges rapidly at first. then
more slowly as the edges Of the spot
increase their distance from the point
at which the drop has been placed.
At the end of specified time the area
of the spot Is measured and compared
with that of spot formed by drop
of pure grease of the same size de-
posited at the same time and under
identical conditions.
Professor Lindet uses drops OF l-loO
of a cubic centimeter In size, ana
places his paper in wooden frames to
prevent It from curling up In the
oven. He removes 1t before the spots
have spread to more than three or
four centimeters In diameter.

Methods OF Cooking Vegetables

College Park, Md, November I'm
Instructions to her students in homo
arrangement, Miss X. A. Pritchett, of
The Maryland Extension Service, gives
valuable advice regarding the cooking
Of vegetables. She says, Boiling and
steaming are both very good methods
of cooking vegetables, for no nutritive
value is lost. In cooking in large
amount of water and then draining
the water off, the mineral matter and
favors are lost, because they are dis
solved in the water. For AL ecOnom-
ical dietary, this method should not be
followed, because 1t is wasteful.
Where the housewife can plan to get
the necessary mineral matter from
meats or other sources, Ii may be al
lowable. 1t may also be used for old
potatoes, beets OF rank flavor and
strong onions. A better method for
fresh vegetables is stewing or cook
Ing in a small amount of water, so that
1t is almost boiled away by the time
the vegetables are cooked.
Points To Remember.
1. When cooking vegetables, the
general rule is to allow one teaspoon
full of salt to each quart of water.
2. Violent boiling water Is no hot
ter than boiling water, and violent
mashes and breaks the vegetables.
8. With some vegetables, like corn,
It is more satisfactory to add TIE salt
toward the end of the process, 9th
erwise it hardens the fiber
4. Drain tie vegetables as soon as
tender.
S. Cook strongly Favored veGe-
tables, l. e., onions and cabbage, in an
uncovered dish.
6. Vegetables that should b Q
cooked with a small amount of water
are greens, tomatoes, and tender
young peas.
7. The less tender vegetables, such
as peas, carrots, and the outer pieces
of celery and celery tips, may be
cooked and put through sieve for
soups.
&. Leftover veg tables may b. re.
heated or usti for soups.

PINKNEY'S PLACE IN HISTORY
His Fame as the Greatest Lawyer tho
United States Has Produced
Is Secure.

Even that tritest of truisms, tn.
ephemeraity of lawyers fame, otfe.s
no adequate explanation Of the obscur-
ity in which sleeps the genius of Will
liam Pinkney. For Pinkney was not
merely great lawyer. According to
testimony that leaves no room for
doubt or controversy, he was the very
greatest lawyer that this country has
ever produced.
Nor was this all. He served his coun
try with distinction and success in the
labyrinths of diplomacy, at the cabinet
table, in the halls of congress ana even
on the field of battle. Above all, at a
most critical point of our history, when
the clamor of cOntending sections DIS
turbed the tranquility of the Sage OF
Monticello, like a fire bell ringing IN

A home that Is home is the result
of the combined efforts and good will
Of those who dwell together within
the house. In this cooperative enter
prise none should be deprived of the
benefit which comes from carrying re-
sponsibility and contributing to the
general good. Hence, every child
should be given duties to perform in
that home as well as privileges to en-
joy. 1t IS doubtful If child should
be paid for performing his share of
the home duties. Each child should
this properly at the right time. Ger
tain other household or farm tasks
should be allotted to him-not tasks
that will delay him in starting to
school, not those that will exhaust
him at night, or those too heavy for
his immature body, but such work as
Is reasonable in kind and quantity
should be given to him from his earli-
est years. More boys and girls are in

Development of Opera.

Opera has made extensive strides
during the last century, although its
origin is very remote. 1t came through
gradual course of development from
almost the beginning Of the Christian
era earliest librettists were such emf
nent men as Aeschylus and Sophocles.
who accompanied their spoken drama
with band of Tyres and flutes.
But grand opera, as we understand
1t today, originated about the end of
the sixteenth century, when Jacopo
PERKS opera, "Dafne," was first pre-
scented. 1t originated through the
gathering Of small party Of music
lovers ut the home of Florentine no.
bleman. Theories grew into actuali-
ties when performance Of "Dafne"
was celebrated in the palace of Corsi
in 1895. This opera was successfully
performed several times, but always in
private, and now the score Is not dis
coverable.

MARKS OF GOOD BREEDING
DIGNITY That Is Neither Formally Nor
Hauphtiness-outward Calmness
Imperative at All Times.

A well-bred carriage Is difficult to
initiate; for in strictness 1t Is mega
tive; and it implies long-cOntinued
previous training. You are not re-
quired to exhibit in your manner any
thing that specially betokens dignity;
for, by this means, you are like to run
into formality and haughtiness; you
are rather to avoid whatever Is undig.
nified and vulgar. You are never to
forget yourself are to keep a constant
watch upon yourself and others; to
forgive nothing that Is faulty in your
conduct, In that Of others neither to
forgive too little nor too much. Moth
Ing must appear to touch you, nothing
to agitate; you must never ovefhaste
yourself, must ever keep yourself COM
posed, retaining still an outward calm
ness, whatever storms may rage with
in. The noble character at certain mo-
ments may resign himself to his emo
tons; the well-bred never. The latter
Is like a man dressed out in fair and
spotless clothes; he will not lean on
anything; every person will beware OF
rubbing on him. He distinguishes him
self from others, yet he may not stand
apart; for, as In all arts, so in this, the
hardest must at length be done with
ease; the well-bred man of rank, In
spite of every separation, always
seems united with the people around
him; he Is never to be stiff or UNI
complying; he Is always to appear the
first, and never to insist on so appear

Great Names Die Out.

1t is curious how rarely our military
and naval supermen leave direct pos
terity in the male line. In the three
cases of Lord Roberts, Lord Wolseley
and Lord Kitchener the succession has
passed out Of the usual direct male
line. Lord Nelson was succeeded by
his brother, for whom in fact the earl
dom was created in recognition Of the
herO's last and greatest exploit. Lord
Howe, victor of the GLORIOUS First Of
June" left no son, and the barony
of Howe descended to his daughter.
The title conferred on Lord Strath-
nairn Is extinct, and there Is no long
er Lord Clyde. Lord Arson, the
great sailor who girdled the world, left
no children, and the title was recre-
ated for his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
