BEST SUMMER DAINTY

DISTINCTION CLAIMED FOR ASPARAGUS BY IT8 ADMIRERS. r1i

W-Z*

Hints Concerning Its Best Preparation and 8ervlce—When Baked It la Considered Delicacy off the First Order.

The Mason for fresh asparagus at reasonable prices is not very long and most people want to enjoy to the utmost this delicious vegetable.

It is easy to prepare and makes an attractive dish on the table If properly prepared.

Some people prefer the thick, white stalks and others the thin, very green stalks. The latter are thought to be sweeter, but the former look better. It really makes little difference which is chosen, provided that it is fresh and young and hurried to the ice box as soon as it reaches the house, if it is a hot day. The only difficulty about cooking asparagus is to cook it well enough to soften the stalks without cooking away the heads, and to prevent this many cooks stand the bundle heads up in the water, with the boiling water reaching up to,sbut not over, the heads. Others again use the wire basket inside the pan which makes It easy to remove the stalks and drop them on the plate without breaking the heads. Young asparagus requires scarcely more than a quarter of an hour's cooking, but as the season advances it will require perhaps half an hour or even more. The stems should be scraped lightly, but made clean, and then must be thrown into cold water. When ready to cook, tie the bunches of equal size and chop off the tough ends to an even length. Allow a teaspoonful of salt to a quart of boiling water, and allow plenty of water for the cooking. Left-over asparagus is delicious andi easy to prepare for a cold salad served on lettuce leaves and drenched with French dressing.

Here are two good methods of preparing asparagus, which by the way, is one of the most ancient vegetables cultivated, Cato mentioning it in 200 B. C.

Baked Asparagus.—Cut the tender halves of asparagus stalks into pieces, an inch in length and cook for a quarter of an hour in salted, boiling water. Drain and put a layer of stalks in the bottom of a greased pudding dish. Sprinkle this layer with fine breadcrumbs, little pieces of butter and hard boiled egg and pepper and salt. Add another layer of asparagus and again sprinkle with butter, egg and seasoning and continue this until the dish is full. The top layer should be of the butter.

Bake the whole for

minutes and

serve in the dish in which it was cooked. Asparagus Loaf.—Cook three cupfuls of asparagus tips and drain when tender. Cook together for one minute in a sauce pan two tablespoonfuls of butter and one tablespoonful of flour, then add one cupful of milk, one-half teaspoonful of salt and one-quarter of a teaspoonful of paprika. The milk should be poured in slowly with constant stirring and after it has cooked for five minuteB take from the fire and add four well-beaten eggs, one cupful of asparagus tips and one teaspoonful of dropped parsley. Spread the remainder of the tips in a wellbuttered baking dish and pour in the asparagus mixed with sauce. Place the dish in water in the oven for 15 minutes and serve with egg sauce.

1 Novel Chicken Sandwich. A very good sandwich is made by pounding four ounces of cooked chicken, freed from skin, bone and gristle when fine, add three yolks of hard-cooked eggs, one tablespoonful of grated cheese, a little French mustard, tarragon vinegar and olive. oil, just enough to moisten, and season with salt, pepper and dust of red pepper. Work into a smooth paste and rub through a sieve. Cut thin slices of white bread, butter them, spread the paste between these, close them and press the slices well together.

Cabbage With French Dressing. Slice a cabbage in thin shavings, place In dish in layers, sprinkle each layer with pepper and salt and pour over it the following dressing: Put one-half cup of milk in double boiler, beat one egg, one-half cup of sugar, piece of butter the size of a walnut together and stir into the milk, allowing it to boil. Take from stove and add one-half cup of vinegar pour over the cabbage and allow it to cool.

Banana- Pie.

Line pie plate with a nice, short crust, the same as for custard pie. Prick with a fork in several places and bake. When done and cold cover the bottom with a layer of sliced bananas, then a layer of whipped cream sweetened. Then another lajaer of bananas and a good top layer of cream.

Ham and Veal Sandwiches. Chop together ham'and veal, about twice as much of the latter as of the former. Season with salt and pepper and moisten with mayonnaise. On a thin slice of buttered bread place a crisp lettuce leaf. Spread the ham and veal mixture on another slice of buttered bread and press together.

IS THRIFT. BE THRIFTY AND YOU WILL SUCCEED. THE FIRST STEP IS 10 OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT AND BY MAKING REGULAR DEPOSITS BUILD IT UP. You cannot begin any younger, but see to it that you commence before you are any older. It is the only way to gain an independence. This is the oldest bank in Hancock County. Was founded in 1871, since which time its growth has been steady, until now it is one of the foiemost banks in the country.- We solicit 3cur Eccctrt.

TWO MOTHERS-IK-LAW

A STATE BANK ESTABLISHED 1871

The Greenfield Banking Co.

By M. J. PORTER.

When Harry Lee and Nina Bennett were wed both the Lees and Bennetts were pleased.

The friends of the happy couple were pleased. "They will get along like two turtle doves," was the general verdict.

They had been married just two years, and their baby was ten months old, when the following things happened:

A boil made its appearance on Lee's leg and began to ache. Some one stole his six leghorn chickens.

His collie dog was fool enough to chase a rabbit so far into the next county that he lost himself.

A party to whom he had loaned $200 went into bankruptcy. Mrs. Lee had toothache.

Baby had colic. Up to this date it had been fair weather with the Lees. Nothing had occurred to provoke dissension.

Young Mr. Lee came home fairly longing to kick the dog. His wife had been wishing for an hour past that she could kick a cat.

It was the wife who'touched the match. They were at the table and had been rather shy of conversation, when she observed: "I see that we are to have a circus next week." "Yum!" growled the husband. "Will -we go?" "Not by a darned sight! Haven't we.had enough circus right here at home the past week to last us for the next five years?" "And who's to blame for it?" asked the wife. "I'm not saying." "That means you think I am, and it is mean of you! Did I cause your boil?" "Never mind." & "But I will mind. I am not going to be blamed unjustly. I have had something to try my patience every hour for days, but I haven't snapped you up."

Ten minutes later the husband put on his hat, and without saying a word he walked off. "We'll see who gets the best of that!" said the wife as she looked after him.

Twenty minutes later, without having cleared off the table, she was en route for her father's house. "Harry and I have separated!" was the announcement she made as her mother met her at the door.

Harry had gone direct to his widowed mother's home, and in response to her anxious inquiries as to why he looked so broken up, he said: "I fear that Nina and I must part!" "But why?" "She has no care for my feelings."

He told his story, but the mother said little. When he had departed she sent word to Nina's mother to come over, and then learned that the wife had left her house. Then the two mothers sat down to talk and plan.

They .were mothers-in-law worth, having. Nina's mother went home and said to the weeping bride-wife: "My dear, you have done iust rigit!" "I—I thought you might blame me." "Not a single bit, nor does his mother. She says she wonders how you managed to live with Harry for a single month."

"Why, Harry has always been kind and good!" protested the surprised wife. "Don't seek to excuse him. If anything ails you he has no sympathy. Let him have a headache and he must play the booby." "Why, mother, he is never a booby." "If he says a thing is so he won't allow you to dispute him." "But he has often given in to me." "You poor child, how sacrificing you are, but it must end now. Father will go with you to a lawyer In the morning." "Why see a lawyer?" "To file a bill for divorce, of course. Nina, how aoon after marriage did Harry begin to beat you?" "Mother!" she gasped.

"How many times has he turned you outdoors at midnight?" "Mother, I can't sit here and hear you talk about Harry like that. I tell you he is a good husband." "I see how it is!" sighed th© mother. "He has pounded and bulldozed you until you are afraid to call your soul your own. You just wait until it becomes known how he has used you and it may result in a coat, of tar and feathers for him!"

The excited wife got on her hat* grabbed the baby and the perambu*lator, and started for her own hornet at a gallop.

On leaving his mother's house thei huffy husband had taken a long walk! and then gone home. When he found) the house deserted he went back ta his mother to announce the fact. "Does it look to you as if Nina had! left for good?" she asked. "Y-es." "I am glad of it!" "But, mother—" "Harry, don't seek to palliate hert faults and crimes. Now that you have found her out, go to a lawyer at once* and file your bill." I The son got up and left the housef and waried to his own. The table hadi been cleared and things slicked up^i and Nina sat waiting. "Say, Harry," she said as he camet

In, "I am one!" "And I the other!" he replied, at* he kissed her. (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspa* per Syndicate.)

HER IDEA OF A GENTLEMAN!

According to Ruling of Snobbish Ca^ nadian Miss, There Are Few of Them on Earth.

There Is an ancient British aneC"j dote, still in perfectly good standing, which gives a definition of a "lady."! This states that the mistress of a| house on returning from an after-4 noon's shopping was informed by her housemaid: "A lady was here to see you, Mum." Asked the mistress: "How do you know it was a lady?" Said the housemaid: "Because she was covered with joolry and smelt ot sherry somethin' awful, Mum."

A New Yorker used to recall the* anecdote in telling of a Canadian defi-| nition of a "gentleman" which he re«l ceived some years ago. "I was at a dance in Ottawa," ho said, "the year before the Boer war. One of my partners was a snip of a miss who had virulent Anglomania. The talk ran upon class distinctions, and she voiced some bizarre opinions as to the gulf between 'gentlemen" and all other men. 'Well, won't you please tell me exactly what is a gentleman?' I finally: asked.

She was puzzled, but just for aj moment. Her eyes ran around thei room until they rested upon Lord] Ava, the eldest son of the then Mar-j quis of Dufferin. "'A gentleman,' said my partner, 'is a man who knows Lord Ava welt enough to ask him for a match.'"

On Record for Comfort,

Cecil Rhodes was not much of si dresser. When premier of Cape Colonyj he usually wore a flannel suit, which) badly wanted cleaning, and a dilapi4 dated slouch hat. His successor iui office, Sir Gordon Sprigg, who worej a black frock coat even in the hottesti weather, once made an effort to en4 force the wearing of "respectable" dark clothes in the Cape parliament. But Rhodes would not have it. He said in parliament that if he could not help to legislate in comfortable) clothes he would not help at all, andj he thought the members would agree} with him. They did.

Weight of Inch of Rainfall* ~vAn inch7 of rainfall is the equiw-i lent of 603 barrels of 45 gallons eachj to the acre. This amount of water) weighs over one hundred and thirn teen tons. Think of hauling it to thei farms in wagons holding a ton each.i That seemingly light air and cloudsi are capable of handling this enormousi amount of water is one of the marvela| of meteorology. One Inch of rain ls| not such a heavy rainfall either.—1 Farm and Fireside.
