VARIETIES OF SALAD

MADE FROM VEGETABLES ALWAYS IN SEABON. For Those Fond of Bhrlmps, Here Is a Delicious Recipe—So-Called Pilgrim Salad —Green Peppers, Grapefruit and Celery. Preparing a Shrimp Salad. — Cut the contents of one can of shrimps into Bmall pieces, add two cupfuls of celery and One cucumber cut into dice. Mix thoroughly with a boiled mayonnaise dressing. If cucumbers are not to be had substitute more celery, and garnish with slices of hard-boiled eggs and use plenty of^dresslng. Pilgrim Salad. —Peel and cut tomatoes in half-inch slices, stamp out rounds from the center of each and insert four or five cooked asparagus tips. Lay them on crisp lettuce leaves. Cut the centers of the tomatoes into cubes and put these with several olives on one side of each plate. Put half a cupful of olive oil into a pitcher, the strained juice of half a lemon, the strained juice of half an orange, one teaspoonful of grated onion pulp, a quarter of a teaspoonful of salt, a quarter of a teaspoonful of paprika, one teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, a quarter of a teaspoonful of mustard, and one teaspoonful of finely Chopped parsley. Shake until thick and creamy and pour over the portions of salad. Making Florida Salad.—Cut slices from the stem ends of green peppers and remove the seeds. Refill with grapefruit peeled and cut into cubeß, add the tenderest stalks of celery cut into small pieces apd finely chopped nut meats, allowing twice as much grapefruit as celery and one-third as many nut meats as grapefruit. Arrange in nests of endive and serve with mayonnaise dressing. Kumquat Salad. —Peel a box of Kumquats, cut them in halves, add two peeled and chopped apples, and a can of chopped pears. Serve on crisp lettuce leaves with French dressing or mayonnaise dressing.

Stewed Chicken.

Required: A chicken or fowl weighing about four pounds, one onion chopped fine, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley, one tablespoonful of salt, one-half a teaspoonful of thyme, one-half a teaspoonful of ground ginger, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of mace and one-quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper. Cut the chicken into pieces suitable for serving, wash it and put it in a saucepan. Cover it with water and set it on to boll. When boiling add the onion, parsley and the spides. Cook, it slowly for three hours or until tender, and about one-half hour before serving thicken It with three tablespoonfuls of browned flour and enough liquor from the stew ta mix the flour. Be careful not to have it lumpy. When well mixed pour It into the stew and let It simmer for a half hour. Garnish with rice and sprigs of parsley.

Smothered Steak.

A good way to cook a tough steak. One and one-half pounds of steak five or six medium sizefl onions, one cupful of water. Slice the onions and put a layer ln a spider; then the steak, then another layer of onions on top and a sprinkle of pepper. Cover closely, but watch It and If th« water boils away add more water from the teakettle. When the onions are done the meat will be tender. Place on a hot platter. Take two tablespoonfuls of corn starch mixed smoothly in cold water, add a hall teaspoonful of salt, stir it in the gravy and when done pour over the steak.

Mushroom and Bacon Pie.

Cut the mushrooms in small pieces and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut thin slices of nice bacon in small pieces, put them in the bottom of a rather shallow baking dish. On these put a layer of mushrooms and over these put a layer of finely mashed potatoes seasoned. Fill the dish, alternating in this way, but have the potatoes on top. Now scatter bits of butter over. Put cover on and bake half an hour ln a moderate oven. When nearly done remove the cover and brown the top.

Boiling Cracked Eggs.

An egg that is cracked can be boiled by enclosing it in a piece of soft paper. When the paper becomes wet it adheres to the egg, and prevents it from coming through the shell. This process should be successful in every case where the crack is of a moderate length.

Tomato-Oyster Soup.

Neutralize a part ft the acidity of a cupful of hot tomato pulp with a Bmall pinch of soda, then add a pint and one-half of scalded milk, a tablespoonful of butter and a pint of parboiled oysters. Season with celery salt and white pepper and serve hot with oyster crackers.

Breaded Tongue.

Slice the left-over tongue in one-fourth-inch slices, dip in crumbs, beaten egg, crumbs again; put in a baking pan, dot over with butter, bake about 20 minutes in a hot oven. Use the left-over gravy with the red cur rant jelly melted ln It for a sauce.

Preparing Cauliflower.

Always put a cauliflower In plain water, so as to draw out any insects. If salt is placed in the water it kills the insects and they are left dn the vegetable.

Optimists.

For non-committal brevity of speech, commend us to the Yankee lord of the soil. One such, who was obliged to make a physician daily visits, had an unvarying answer to the question, “How do you feel today?” “Well,” he would reply, showing as little interest in the subject as possible, “I ain’t no wuss.” Further than that he wished to say nothing, and it took the cunning of a serpent to discover his real feelings. A man who was knocked down in the street by a snowslide was assailed by a sympathizing crowd with condolence and question. “Did it hurt you?” inquired one of his rescuers as he brushed the snow from the clothes of the well-powdered victim. “Well,” was the cautious answer, "it ain’t done me no good.”— Argonaut ,

Serious Lack.

An old Englishwoman, who was extremely stout, was making vain efforts to enter the rear door of an omnibus. The driver leaned over good-naturedly, and dried: “Try Bideways, mother, try sideways!” The old woman looked up breathlessly, and replied: “Why, bless ye, James, I ain’t got no sideways!”—Youth’s Companion.

A DOCTOR'S TRIALS. He Sometimes Gets Sick Like Other People.

Even doing good to people is hard work If you have too much of It to do. An overworked Ohio doctor tells hie experience: “About three years ago as the result of dc&g two men’s work, attending a large practice and looking after the details of another £>tfsiness, my health broke down completely, and I was little better than a physical wreck. “I suffered from indigestion and constipation, loss of weight and appetite, bloating and pain after meals, loss of memory and lack of nerve force for continued mental application. “I became irritable, easily angered and despondent without cause. The heart's action became Irregular and weak, with frequent attacks ofpalpltation during the first hour <sr two after retiring. “Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas came for my lunch one day and pleased me particularly with the result. I got more satisfaction from it than from anything I had eaten for months, and on further investigation and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my morning and evening meals, served usually with cream and a sprinkle of salt or sugar. “My improvement was rapid and permanent,- in weight as well as in physical and mental endurance. In a word, I am filled with the joy of living again, and continue the daily use of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often for the evening meal. / “The little pamphlet, *The Road to "Wellvfile,’ found In pkgs., is invariably saved and handed to some needy patient along with the indicated remedy.” “There’s a reason."

MAKE DELICIOUS NUT FUDGE

Confection That la Worth All the Care Necessary, and the Beet of Materials. ' Take two cupfuls of sugar, one large breakfast cupful of milk, one rounding tablespoonful of butter, a quarter of a teaspoonful of cream of tartar, vanilla or any other flavor, three ounces of plain or glace fruits, or both mixed, or lbi or two ounces of dissolved sweetened chocolate. Put sugar, cream of milk and batter in pan and dissolve, stirring carefully all the time with thermometer. Boil to 230 degrees Fahrenheit, then remove pan to table and cool for five minutes. Then add the chopped nuts and glace fruit and flavor to taste. Then stir in the fondant worked with finger tips to a thin, pliable sheet. When thoroughly mixed and beginning to grain, pour into buttered tin or into a wax paper on a board. Make batch half an inch thick. When set cut in bars or squares and wrap in wax paper. For chocolate fudge, instead dr the fruits, stir in from one to two ounces, according to your taste, of unsweetened chocolate which you have dissolved In a small pan over a gentle heat.

HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS

To make an excellent dressing for linoleum, take equal parts of linseed oil and cider vinegar and mix them, thoroughly together. Ices and ice cream will freeze more quickly if a clipper of water is poured over the ice and salt just before the turning process begins. To turn a cake easily out of a tin set the tin on a wet cloth for a few secondß Immediately after removing It from the oven and then turn it out. A porcelain sink can be quickly cleaned with paraffin. Dip a flannel lightly into the paraffin and rub the sink till all stains are removed, then thoroughly wash it with soda water. If vegetables are cooked In a steamer over hot water, and sprinkled with salt when nearly done, then served In a very hot tureen, they will be found better, and are said to be far more nutritious than when boiled in the ordinary way. To whiten ivory, rub it* well with unsalted butter and place It in the sunshine. If it is discolored it may be whitened by rubbing it with a paste composed of burned pumice stone and water and putting it in the sun under glass.

German Pancakes.

One heaping cup of flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt, two cups of milk or water, three eggs. Sift flour and salt into a bowl, add milk or water and mix It to a smooth batter, then add the beatep egg yolks. Beat the white stiff and add gradually to the batter, stirring constantly. Place a medium-sized frying pan over the fire, with half a tablespoonful of butter or lard; as soon as hot pour in sufficient of the mixture to cover the bottom of the pan, shake the pan to and fro and bake until a light brown on one side; turn over and bake -the other. Slip the pancake onto a hot plate and bake the remaining batter the same way. Serve at once. 1 This quantity makes four pancakes.

Yeung Onions on Toast.

—Clean the onions, —then —tie —in bunches and cook in boiling water slightly salted until tender; drain off the water, cut the strings and place six onions on pieces of toasted bread. Trim the green tops neatly. After the toast is placed on the platter pour over just sufficient hot water to slightly moisten. Dissolve a teaspoonful of beef extract in one cupful of hot water, then add It gradually to one tablespoonful of butter melted and mixed with one tablespoonful of flour, as Is done for a cream Bauce; stir ufitil creamy, adding more hot water if too thick. Some flours thicken more than others. Season with Balt and pepper and pour over the onions.

The Grits Ball.

No, you don’t dance it. Neither do you throw it. Rather it is designed to eat. The shell is made pf aluminum. The round perforations admit the steam. One cup of grits or rice is held in |t _ The grits ball opens on a hinge just as does a tea ball. It is handier and looks nicer than an ordinary bag.

Potted Chicken.

A chicken is cut up as for fricassee and to each pound of meat allow two tablespoonfuls of flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt (very scant) and a dust of pepper. Mix thoroughly and roll each piece of the meat in the mixture. Pack closely Vln a large bean pot and cover with boiling water; bake for three hours and a half. Cover after 10 or 15 minutes, but not before It boils.

Ice Cream Romaine.

Prepare and finish a vanilla ice cream; Just before taking it up from the freezer pour ln two tablespoons Jamaica rum; mix well with a wooden spoon and spry#.

SUCCESS FOLLOWS JUDICIOUS FARMING

IN WEBTERN CANADA IT 18 CERTAIN. The story of the Big,Farmer In Western Canada, and the immense profits he has made in the growing of grain, has been told and retold. He has been found In all parts of the prpvinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. His splendid farm buildings have been pictured, his fraction outfits described and his princely surroundings, resultant of his success in growing grain, have been portrayed by letter, press and camera. It certainly is not to his discredit that by successfully applying common sense and up-to-date methods to the conditions that climate, a good soil, and splendid market have placed at hand, that he has made the best use of them. He is not too proud to admit-that he came to the country a very few years ago handicapped as to money, leaving behind him unpaid mortgages in his old home land (which are now wiped out), and he is still the same goodhearted fellow he waß in the days that he had to work for a neighbor, while the neighbor broke the land on his homestead, which went to make up the settlement duties. Then, there, too, Is the farmer and the farmer’s son, already wealthy, who has bought large holdings in Western Canada, in either Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, who has made forty to one hundred per cent, on his Investment, whose big grain crops and whose immense cattle herds are helping to improve the country. Health and strength, energy and push, and bull dog grit are as essential in Western Canada as in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, lowa, or any of the states from which so many of these people come, and then, when you have added to that a fair amount of means, with which to make a start, the land which is only waiting for the skill of the husbandman will quickly respond. But there Is the smaller farmer, the man who has not made sufficient in four or five years, that he might comfortably retire if he felt like it. There are many of them in all the three Provinces. It is not the less to his credit that he has earned his homestead by the three years residence, that he is free from debt, and hasa reasonable > bank account. He, too, came to the country handicapped by debts, and with very little means. He is contented, has a good home, land free of encumbrance, some stock, and with good prospects. One of these writes: “I formerly lived near Dayton, Ohio, on a rented farm, had as a chance as the average renter, but After ten years of hard work, satisfied myself that If I ever expected to Becure a home, I would have to undertake something else. Hearing of Western Canada, I investigated, and seven years ago last Spring settled in a homestead and purchased (on time) an adjoining half section, arriving with a carload of household effects and farm Implements, including four horses and three and SI,BOO ,in money—my ten years’ work in Ohio. “The first year our crops gave us feed, the second year 100 acres of wheat gave us $1,800; no failure of crop since starting here. I have now’ 22 head of horses, 15 head of cattle, and 35 hogs. We own 1,120 acres of land, and have same all under cultivation. $ Was offered at one time $35.00 per Acre for a half section where we live, and all the other land could be sold today on present market at $30.00 per acre. Should we care to dispose of our holdings, could pay all debts and have over $30,000 to the good, but the question Is where could we go to invest our money and get.as good returns as here? “We have equally as good, If not better prospects for crops this year, as we had three years ago, when our wheat reached from 30 to 48 bushels per acre. I never believed such crops could be raised until I saw them myself. I had 15 acres that year that made 50 bushels to the acre. Our harvest will be ready by the 12th. We have this season in crop 400 acres of wheat, 125 of oats, 90 of flax, and run three binders, with four men to do the stooking. “We certainly like this country, and the winters, although the winters are cold at times, but we do not suffer as one would think. What we have accomplished here can be duplicated in almost any of the new districts. If anyone doubts anything I, have said in this letter, tall them totaome here, and I can prove every word I have written.” The name of the writer can be had from the Superintendent of Immigration, Ottawa, Canada, who can give the names of hundreds of others equally successful.

Diplomacy in Small Things.

Little Eloise Cave, aged seven years, was visiting her grandmother in Madison, Va, and was sent to cany a saucer of ice cream to a neighbor. By the exercise of infinite care she conveyed her burden safely to the house and gave it into the hands of the lady for whom it was Intended. The lady, however, was less careful than Eloise had been, and dropped the saucer and broke it “You needn’t mind about that," aald the little diplomat, without an instant’s hesitation. “I don’t think grandma has a cup to match the saucer. If she has I will go right homq and break it myself.”—Popular Magazine.

Bad Luck.

"They oughtn’t to call that railroad special the Comet” "Why not?" “Because comets nearly always bare their trains telescoped.”
