THE WHITE CARNATI0N
BY BETTY PAKE.

The search of the pure white carna-
ton, one that will keep its pure color
for a long period, has never been quite
successful.
1t is q fact that the average variety
remains under cultivation but q, few
years, and they are constantly running
out. They must, therefore, constantly
be replaced by newer and more vigor-
Gus varieties grown from the seed. Of
ten a carnation that produces beauti-
full white flowers for two or three
years fails entirely after that time.
The common garden soil will not do
for the carnation. 1t should be COM
posed of about three-fOurths rich, dark
loan and one-fourth well-rotted ma
nure. This should be thoroughly mixed
several times and by September the
first cuttings should be placed in boxes
about five inches deep. Set the plants
about ten inches apart.
Syringe thoroughly with water until
they have a good start. The plants
should be staked in order to keep the
flowers above the foliage.
The soil should be frequently treated
with liquid manure-cOw, sheep, OF
hen droppings are excellent-but II
should not be too strong, say about the
color of weak tea.
If you want large flowers you must
disbud the plants judiciously. Give
them plenty of water and ventilation
and syringe with tobacco extract tC
discourage the red spider.
If pOtted, they should be in pots Of
from four to seven inches, according
to the size of the plants. &.-r

any tender green vegetable in large
amount of water and then throwing
away the water is most reprehensible
at any time and especially now when
every scrap of food should be con-
served.
The liquid in which the vegetables are
cooked is rich in soluble matters that
are valuable in the body and should
never be thrown away but served
with the vegetable as a sauce or add
ed to soup stock.
In cooking any of the succulent
green vegetables, salt should not be
added until they are ready to be sea-
soned. If peas are inclined to lack
sweetness a teaspoonful of sugar to a
pint of peas will aid wonderfully in
the flavor of the finished dish. Cook
all vegetables in boiling water and
peas in an open kettle as they keep
their green color better.
For variety one may enjoy some
of the following ways Of preparing
| peas:
Peas With Braised Carrots.-Put
| four tablespoonfuls of butter into q
saucepan with two cupfuls of fresh
| ly shelled peas, bunch of mint, one
peeled onion, half cupful of cream,
well washed crisp head of lettuce,
! finely shredded, and a teaspoOnful of
sugar; cover and cook for twenty min
utes, shaking the pan occasionally
while the contents are cooking. When
the peas are cooked, remove the onion
and mint from the pan, add three egg
yolks that have been beaten with two
tablespOonfuls of cream, a pinch OF
salt and red pepper, shake until the
contents are well mixed, then dish III
the peas. Cook the carrots shredded
in strings in very little water, ado
three tablespoOnfuls of butter to the
tender drained carrots and dust will
paprika and fry until golden brown
then add a cupful of stock or tn,
liquor in which the carrots wer,
cooked; simmer one hour. Serve will
the peas.
Green Peas With Mint.-Shell tw,
cupfuls Of peas and cook in as lttl
water as possible without scorchine
then let it boil away and season witt
three tablespoonfuls of butter, one ia
blespoonful of chopped mint, and a ia
blespoonful of chopped parsley wit
the juice of half lemon, stir until'wel
seasoned and hot and serve at once
A very nice and tasty dish of salmo
may be nodded and steamed in a smal
bread pan, then served unmolded, SUI
rounded with cooked and seasone
green peas in a rather thick crear
sauce or sauce made from seasone
stock.

Why He Didn't Reuister.

An Indianapolis man who makes {
practice Of Dragging about his short
comings, said that there were just 81
reasons why he didn't register for
CONSUMPTION.
''The first one is that I am only five
feet one inch tall.
'aThe second one is that, taking my
height into account, am too fat for
my stature.
''The third one is that have only
one arm.
"The fourth one is that my teeth are
bad.
'aThe fifth one is that am too old"
"Well. what are the other so rea-
sons?" he was asked.
"Well, the other 80 don't matter.
The five have enumerated would give
me the necessary alibi. bi."-Indianapo

to be served all that is necessary is
to add O spoonful of buttered crumbs
and set them in pan of hot water in
the oven to heat. Asparagus tips,
peas, beans, cauliflower, or onions, or
two or three of each may be served,
allOwings the family to make choice
of the one most pleasing. Leftover
desserts, of various kinds, may be re-
heated and served with addition of
little fruit or a custard or some liquid
sauce which enhances the flavor Of the
pudding.
A hard-cooked egg added to a few
ramekin dishes of macaroni and white
sauce, or rice and cheese, will make
an appetizing dish.
Dried beef, lobster, crab, chicken,
or any remnant of beef, may be served
in this manner most attractively.
Chicken pie in ramekins Is worth
trying. Put few bits of chicken and
some of the gravy and a little cream
into a ramekin, place a biscuit on top
to just fit it, punch few holes in it
to let the steam escape, and bake un-
til the biscuit is brown. Set ramekins
in another dish so that no gravy Is
wasted, If it hoils over.
Beef Tongue En- casserole.-Choose
a tongue which has been slightly
corned, remove all of the unsightly
portions, rub with flour to which has
been added a dash of ginger and all
spice. Fry q few slices of salt pork,
then put in a sliced onion and the
tongue, tying it into shape. Flour it
lightly on all sides. Make a cupful of
gravy, adding the juice of a lemon,
three tablespOonfuls of shredded al
monds and a half cupful of seeded
raisins. Put the tongue in a round
casserole, pour the gravy over it and
bake half an hour in a moderate oven,
| Unite the meat, turn out on a plate,
and serve with the gravy over it.
CasseroIed Calves Hearts.-Fry an
onion in a little bacon fat, roll four
calves hearts in flour and brown. Put
into a hot casserole one cupful OF
stock, shredded pimento and half q
teaspoonful of mixed whole spices
Cover tightly and bake two hours. Gar
nish the meat with curled bacon.

HYDRANGEA BEAUTIFUL AND
HARDY. i, .1r-'
Rv e. NAN eENTHuYsEN.

While there are shrubs that 1 like
better. this one seems to suit the
masses. 1t has the merit of extreme
hardness, easy culture, great floral
beauty and is late-blooming and per-
slstent.
Its flowers early lose their whiteness,
but as the season advances they take
on a pinky-brown character, which is
very attractive. They will last until
snow comes.
Never use the hydrangeas singly.
When planting plant in masses. 1t Is
vastly more effective this way.
The enormous heads of the bloom
have considerable weight, but they are
all the more attractive when they
cause the branches to take on a grace
ful curve.
Those in search of plant that will
grow in any soil and under almost any
condition, and has hardness enough to
withstand the trying ordeal of the
severest northern winter, will find this
hydrangea the very. thing they are
| looking for.

cold water; add pound Of sugar, boil
five minutes, and strain through a
cheesecloth. When cold add the juice
of six lemons. At serving time place
this mixture in a punch bowl over a
block of ice, throw in bunch of fresh
mint leaves and add sufficient apol-
linaris water to give it sparkle, and
serve at once.
Currant Punch.-Whip to a froth
tumblerful Of currant jelly, adding one
pint of boiling water; add a half-cup-
full of sugar and the juice of lemon !;
then put aside to cool. At serving
time add a quart of plain cold water
and bottle Of sparkling water.
Ginger Punch.-Boil for five min
utes pint of water and a pound of
sugar with the grated yellow rind of
a lemon; strain, and while hot stir
into it two sliced bananas and a quar-
ter of O pound of candied cherries :;
stand aside to cool. At serving time
put a good sized block of ice into
the punch bowl, add the juice of six
lemons to the banana mixture, turn it
into the punch bowl, add two bottles
of ginger ale and one quart of spar
king water. Serve at once.
Iced cocoa.-Put two heaping tea
spoonfuls of cocoa into a double boil
er, add q half-pint of boiling water,
and cook five minutes, add a half-pint
of milk, beat thoroughly, take from the
fire, and stand aside to cool. At serv-
ing time fill the glasses one-third full
of Clipped ice, add a teaspoonful of
powdered sugar, fill the glass two
thirds full of cocoa, and fill with
whipped cream.
Ice tea, if made fresh, then cooled
and served in the same way the cocoa
is served, with the exchange Of @
slice of lemon for the cream, allowing
each to add sugar to taste, makes q
most refreshing drink.
A very hot beverage such as hot milk
or soup are stimulants to the diges

gestive processes. 1t is best to give
cold drinks between meals rather thar

HINT OF WAR GAS in ILIAD"
Homer Says That "Fierce Mars Spread
Vapor Over the Battle
Aiding the Trojans.

Why, 1 wonder, is the word "Ho-
meric" such a favorite with writers at
the front and with the subeditors who
trick out their narratives? In the Ho-
meric days men fought with swords
and spears and bows and arrows, with
the assistance of an occasional thun-
debolt from Jove. What basis OF
comparison is there between these
toys and the weapons of todayP
Yet there is one curious parallel
which has not, 1 think, been pointed
out. In the fifth book of the "Iliad"
we are told that fierce Mars spread q
vapor over the battle, aiding the Tro-
jams. If not exactly poison gas, this
may be said to be at least an antici.
