PHoNoGRAPH IN THE KITCHEN
Some Suggestions That May DC Of
More or Less Interest to
the Modern Cook.

The New York Sun gives the fol-
lowing amusing receipt to illustrate
how popular talking-machine records
may be utilized in correctly timing
all culinary operations, while at the
same time adding pleasure to labor:
German Coffee Cake-Set the in
strument going, and cream me-
fourth of a cupful of butter, three
fourths of a cupful Of sugar and a
pinch of salt while the instrument is
rendering Siegmund's song from
"Die Walkure;" add one-half of a
cupful of flour and a teaspoonful of
baking powder. Work to a smooth
consistency during the playing of the
"Tannhauser~ overture. This will
last just long enough to get the mix
ture ready to be poured into the bak-
ing pan. Put into a quick oven and
bake as long as it takes Gadski to
sing "Mild und Leise" from "Tris-
tan und Isolde"
Italian Curry of Mushrooms-Stir
one can of button mushrooms as long
as it takes Caruso to sing the ola
ment" from 81 Pagliacci." Add a
tablespoonful Of butter and curry
powder, and boil slowly while the
sextet from "Lucia" is being sung.
That will bring it up to a beating
consistency. Add a cupful of cream
at the last note, and beat in strict
time until Tetrazzini has finished
singing "Ah, fors' e lui." Serve with
spaghetti.
French Rabbit-Put a record of a
Farrar singing the Carmen" cha
banera" on the instrument, and at
the first note begin heating one-third
of a cupful of milk. Remove at ths
last note. Stir in the finely chopped
Gruyere or Parmesan cheese, salt and
cayenne. Stir briskly to the enthu-
siastic strains of the Metropolitan
singers doing the Soldiers Chorus
from "Faust." Then add the yolks
Of two eggs and cook as long as it
takes Ysaye to play the "Meditation"
in "Thais." Serve hot to the sing
ing of S~egurola's air from "Me.
phisto."-Youth's Companion.

MANY DYES AT OUR SERVICE
Cutting OF Of European Supply Need
Not Cripple the Country, Is the
Assertion Made.

Now that the supply of coal-tar
dyes from Europe has been cut off,
the Hardwood Record suggests that
we return to the dyes that we're used
before coal-tar colors were invented.
These were derived from bark, roots,
wood and the juices of plants. The
Hardwood Record gives a list of the
most important native plants that
were 50 used and that are still open
to us.
The yellow oak supplies a fine yell
low dye called quercitron, found in a
thin layer under the outer bark.
The butternut gives a brown with
which the famous Confederate
cleans" were dyed.
The outer hulls of the nuts Of the
black walnut furnish a dark brown.
The roots, bark and wood of the
Usage orange produce a fine yellow.
Other yellows can be made from the
yellow wood, mesquit and staghorn
sumac.
The Indians used alder wood for
making a reddish dye.
By boiling the finely Clipped
heartwood of the bluewood a black
dye is produced in the valley of the
Rio Grande.
The brilliant red with which the
Indians tinted their eagle feathers
and buckskin garments was made
from dogwood.
Red gum and locust wood we're
used also by the pioneers in America,
and the vivid yellow of Chinese silks
is made from a tree similar to the
locust.
