How Japanese Sleep.

The Japanese do not sleep on Eu- ropean beds, but on many thick, soft puffs piled one on top of each other upon the floor. For bed covering they use more of the same kinds of puffs. It is said that the Japanese emperor has 20 such puffs. One of those which cover him is made in the shape of kimono and has a velvet collar.

 While the friends of Mayor Taylor are most exercised because of the attack on his character, we feel that the casting of stain upon the name Of woman is the more hinous crime.

The Aristocratic Pork.

All meat is advancing startlingly in
price, and pork seems to head the list.
But so long as you can afford to buy a
moderate amount OF pork, there is no
reason why you should not do so. There
is only reason why you should not pre-
pare 1t carclcssly so that, though waste
ful cooking methods or unpalatability,
some OF i, is wasted
Therefore, the preparation Of pork,
fresh or in the form OF ham or bacon,
ought to be carefully looked after. The
cook has another chance for showing
patriotism in concooting tempting left
over dishes OF these meats
Roast pork just plain roast pork,
well Drowned and served with apple
sauce and, perhaps, candied sweet po-
tatoes, cannot be improved upon. None
OF the more elaborate methods OF cook
ing pork can surpass this simple one.
But plain boiled ham is not perhaps
so delicious as some OF the more elabo-
rate ham dishes. Baked ham, with cider
sauce for instance, is so good that tho
little trouble redaired in its preparation
is we'll worth while. To begin with,
soak the ham over night in cold water.
In the morning, drain il and cover the
lean parts with stiff paste OF flour
and water, Put this on. perhaps, a
quarter OF an inch thick, or thicker.
Bake in moderate oven for twenty
five minutes for every pound Thea
remove the skin and flour DaStr coyrr
with bread crumbs and brown in the
oven. Serve with cider sauce mad
by boiling two cups of cider for fivc
minutes, then adding two teaspoons
onions, tablespoon OF chopped celery,
six crushed pepper oorns, two whole
cloves and bit OF bay leaf. Boil down
to a cup and serve.
One good method for using the odd,
and ends left from a baked ham is T.
prepare small molds OF ham Jelly. For
this make an aspic Jelly by adding an
ounce OF gelatin to quart of meat
stock that has been cooked with herb,
and spices. Chop the remains OF the
cold ham and remove all bone an
gris,le Then pound them to a paste
TO each oupiul add half teaspoon oI
dry mustard two teaspoons OF butter a
dash OF cayenne, half cup Of melted
but cool, aspic Jelly. Mix we'll pour ID
small molds and allow them to harden
This may be used in place of cold meat
or il may be served as a salad with
mayonnaise dressing.

Keep Rice In Mind.

Few persons realize that plain boiled
rice is very delicious occasional
breakfast cereal as autumn days come
upon us. II would be too hearty for
warm summer breakfast. but its highly
nouriShing qualities would commend IT
for school children in autumn and win
ter. To prepare it is better TO follow
the Chinese method OF boiling IT III
large quantity OF slightly saltcd water.
The water should boil violently before
the rice is added and should be added
so slowly that the water does not stop
boiling during the addition OF the rice.
This keeps itfrOm sticking to the bot
tom OF tho tin from the start In stir
ring II occasionally use a fork, not a
spoon. which would tend to break the
kernels. When the rice is tender, take
il from the stove and drain off the wa
ter, saving ii for the foundation for a
soup as there is considerable nourlsh
mcnt that ought not to be lost IN this
rice water. Rice should be boiled Just
before it is TO be eaten for breakfast
so that it does not become soggy.
Here arc some other rice suggestions
Rice with cheese and tomato-Boil
one half cup of rice in three cups OF
cold water five minutes. Drain, rinse
in cold water and drain again. Add
one cup of strained cooked tomato,
three quarters Of a cup of broth, ane half
teaspooniul Of salt and little chopped
green pepper Cook unll tender and
then add one half cup OF grated cheese
and two tablespoons Of butter, mixing
them in with fork
Jellicd carrots and rioe-Farboil and
dice two carrots; take ono half cuptul
of freshly boiled rice and haY ready
melted a pint OF mutton broth; stir
the carrots and rice into it; add one
teaspooniul Of chopped parsley, pepper
and salt and set away TO jell in wet
molds.

The New Orleans board of public
school directors changed McDOnOugh
No. l3 from a white school to a COlOred
school. This school building had been
for white children 35 years, and when
the change was announced the white
patrons got together and drew up a
petition signed by many of them beg
cling that the school be not taken from
the whites for the ColOred children and
sent big delegation before the board
with il to impress the school authorities
with the earnestness of the petitioners.
The board called q special meeting to
receive the delegation and to hear what
they had to say. At this meeting the
petitioners argued that it would be
dangerous to the life and safety of the
white children to cross the tracks of
the street cars and railroads to get to
the Robert C. Davey and Zachary Tay-
Tor schools five blocks. uptown from
and that the MeDonough
school was in a white neighborhood.
The board heard the argument and ad-
jOurned the meeting. At the regular
meeting of the board on last Friday
night, another big delegation of white
patrons, mothers and fathers and chill
dren appeared again, this time with a
strong Cd protest declaring that they
would get out an injunction restrain
ing the board from carrying out the
proposed change. The board had pre-
pared an answer showing why the Pc
titiOn would not be granted and dis
proving the argument of the petition
srs, and informed the white patrons
hat the action of the board in chang
ng MeDonOugh No. IL from a white to

Colored school it will be known as Ne

No. 13, and that this school will have a
high school department, the only one
# the kind ever in the city for Colored
people.

apoplexy Friday morning, Sept. 9TH, at
clock while taking his usual morning
exercise TO reduce his weight, became
unconscious and remained so until he
died Saturday morning, twenty-four

had bursted causing total paralysis Of

consultation several other skilful medi-
cal men to assist in doing the best the
skill could do for a man in the eondi-
ton of his striekened friend, but the
stroke, as DR.. Burbridge believed from
the first, was fatal and beyond the
reach of medical skill. The surprising
and shocking report of what had hap
pened to the generally esteemed and
widely known Dryades street dentist
was heard with the most genuine regret
