REALLY WORK OF ART

DELICIOUS WAFFLE MAY WELL mm

HOUSEWIFE'S PRIDE.

Rtqalrn Some Cars and Tims* B«t Is Sure to Delight the Queete at Afternoon Tea or Other

Social Function.

5-t _.

By LIDA AMES WILLIS. Some charming hostesses have discovered the possibilities of the waffle Iron as a means of social enjoyment land refection for their house or country club parties.

The possessor of ah electric waffle Iron, who has mastered the art of making a dainty, tender delicious waffle, jmay dispense these artistically shaped jpancakes to the delight of her guests, [while they consume them pari passu as they are baked. For under no circumstance must a waffle be' kept waitling, as it deteriorates in both flavor and texture by standing. If you have never eaten a really, truly delectable rwaffle, there is one new and delightful sensation in store for you. If you had a Dutch grandmother, or hold in your possession the favorite gauffer recipe of a French provincial dame—or If by chance you hail from Dixie land, you have your own chef-d'ouvre. But If waffles are not a part of your family culinary history you may make your choice from along and varied list gathered from far and near. The waffle probably had its origin in the chauppattees or stonecake of the Hindoos, an elementary preparation of flour for human food, which developed with the advance of civilization and culinary art through various stages until it has reached the forms of girdle or griddle cake which is similar to pancake, and the more epicurean and delicate waffle or gauffer.

Cider \^%th Waffles.—This is an approved beverage to serve at a waffle party. It may be served from bottles, or mulled, or old-fashioned cider cup, or as a sirup for the waffles. To make the sirup allow a pint of granulated sugar to a quart of rather hard cider and boil until the consistency of maple sirup.

Other Components for the Waffles.— Lemon, sugar and butter, are considered indispensable. If these are combined in lemon honey or lemon butter, which is spread over the waffle as soon as it comes from the iron, it iwill prove a daintier, quicker and more satisfactory way than adding them separately and running the risk of your iwaffle growing cold before being eaten.

Variations of Waffle Batter.—The variations are numerous, but the important feature is to keep the batter fluid bo it will easily run smoothly over tiie waffle Iron. The rising of waffles may be effected by the addition of whipped white of egg or whipped cream to th6 batter as in fancy waffles and the French sweet gauffers.

Hippen or Hiepen.—These are but another form of the waffle or gauffers. They are baked on small irons, marked with a fancy pattern but not honeycombed like the plain waffle iron. The same batter may be used, or their composition may be more that of an almond confection.

If you are an amateur or have a number to serve from one or two irons, do not attempt any but plainer forms. These, when properly compounded and baked are quite delicious enough to •create good 'appetite with the eating and keep your iron hpt for a considerable length of time. Have a sufficient amount of batter made before 'you begin your bakingJ It* will keep well in a cold plaoe,. .unless you have .a -maid who ip: a. waffle artist, to, .replenish the supply.

WHEN CLEANING THE HOUSE

Upfftil Ideas Very Seasonable About Tills Tims, and All of a Podtlvs Value.

A Tory good calsimine can be mads as follows: Soak one poun£ of white glue over night then dissolve It in boiling water and add 20 pounds of parts white, diluting with water until the mixture is of the consistency of rich milk. By adding a little coloring this can be given any tint desired— Prussian blue, for blue Indian yellow, two parts, and burnt senna one part, for buff burnt umber, for brown, etc.

Lime calsimine, for a grade of work inferior in effect to that made of parls white and glue, is made by taking six quarts of thick lime whitewash, made of the best lime, slaked in hot water mix turpentine and linseed oil, each one-half pint, and stir in it while the wash Is hot then add one-half pound of powdered alum. Have the mixture thick enough to spread well with a 'calsimine brash.

The white marks can be removed from the top of a table, and it can be made to look like new in the following manner: Slightly dampen a piece of wadding with methylated spirit, over which place a piece of white linen rag screw round at the back so as to form a portion to hold with, then apply with a circular motion where the marks are, rubbing gently, always in the same direction, until the marks disappear. Then rub well with a dry, clean cloth, after which polish with a good furniture cream. On no account must the spirit be put direct onto the linen, but on the wadding, which cover with the linen before using.

STIR MILK BEFORE USING

Advice of the Department of Agriculture That Is Founded on Scientific Experiment.

Always stir up the milk in a Jar or pitcher if you wish to give a fair percentage of cream to individual drinkers. Recent investigations by the United States department of agriculture proved that In many cases where retail dealers are held up for selling skimmed milk it is because they have ignorantly poured off the top milk to one customer, leaving skimmed for some one else.

The department of agriculture recommends that milk be retailed in bottles. Whenever it is necessary to sell bulk milk, vendors are advised to mix their milk thoroughly each time before pouring from a large container into a small one, if they wish to avoid unintentional skimming. This can best be done by stirring the milk with a long-handled dipper. Shaking the can is not sufficient.

Place for Spices.

How many minutes are lost sometimes by looking' for a can or bottle which, has been pushed behind something else on the shelves? Here is a simple idea which can readily be adopted: Have made a set of little steps of various widths, having the top step the narrowest. Make them as far apart as the rest of your canisters, cereal and spice jars. Then place the smallest cans on the top shelf, the larger cans on the lower shelf, and so on. In this way you will have only one object occupying the width of a shelf, and will never have to look behind one thing to find another.

German Coffee Cakes.

Take two quarts of flour, a pint and a half of milk, three eggs, a quarter of a pound of butter. Set a sponge with one pint of the milk warmed, flour to make a stiff batter and one cake of compressed yeast. When it h^s risen sufficiently, add the other ingredients, the butter being worked Into the flour then knead well.

He had a sample of a subscription book under his arm, but instead of asking the lawyer to look at it he said: "As a matter of fact, my friend, am I not one of the homeliest men you ever met? Give it to me straight" "I—I think you are," replied the lawyer after a long and steady look. "Yes, I think you take the cake over any homely man I ever set eyes on!" "That's candid, and I'm much obliged. Now, one thing more, and don't deceive me in that. I have been told that I look like a hippopotamus in the face. Tou have seen a hippo, and now you see me. Do you find any resemblance?" "To be frank with you, I do." "A very close resemblance?" "Very close. If you were looking at me through the bushes I should feel certain that you were an escaped hippo. Sorry to have to tell you so, but you have asked me to be frank, and—" "That's all right, sir, all right. I thought people had lied about my looks, but I find they have told me the truth. I look like a hippo, and a hippo is the homeliest looking beast on earth. That's all, sir, and I thank you." "But you won't go off and—and commit suicide?" queried tlie lawyer. "Suicide? Not by a jugful! No, sir. I shall continue to live right on, but instead of canvassing for subscription books as heretofore I shall go around stopping clocks and arrange with some fellow to pay me 10 per cent commission on all repairs."—Exchange.

NEAT, EVEN FOR FRENCHMAN

Typically Parisian Was the Witty, If Ironical, Rebuke Administered Mean House Mistress.

The Parisian is proverbially polite, although he may and often does impart a flavor of ironical mischief to his courtesy. The following incident is typically Parisian.

It is the custom in the French capital for the cook to do all the marketing. This aJds considerably to the cook's income, for every dealer allows her about 1 cent on every 20 cents that she spends. So French cooks insist on their marketing prerogative, and the mistress who denies it to them is held to be a very mean person. V~

Well, a person of this sort, an elderly woman, was in the habit of doing her own marketing in a long duster. The duster hid^her purchases. While she was usurping her cook's rights it kept her from being detected In- the act.

As this woman, one hot morning, was walking homeward in her duster from the St. Honore market, she stumbled and a leg of mutton fell and rolled across the sidewalk.

A passing stranger, sizing up the situation, picked up the leg of mutton and, yith a bow and smile, returned It with this salutation: 'Permit me, Madame-^—your fan."

Problem.

When Col. J. C. S. Blackburn was active in 'politics in Kentucky, he would rather make a speech than anything else, unless it was to tell a story, and favored telling a story above anything else except making a speech.

He was traveling with a party of friends and one evening met a few Kentuckians, who welcomed him enthusiastically. One of his party, however, noticed that the Colonel drew apart, apparently disturbed. "What's the matter, Joe?" he was asked. "What's the matter?" he reiterated.

Matter enough. That's a fine crowd, isn't It? It's too large for an anecdote and too small for a speech."— Exchange.

FACTS ABOUT THE BIG GUNS

How They Are Taken Care Of, How Often Fired—Marksmanship Ect.

Some interesting facts concerning the big guns of the American battle ships were given in the Indianapolis News recently from the News Bureau at Washington, D. C.

Once in six. years the big turret guns of the American battleships must be relined, due to erosion, the result of firing. The government, at its several navy yards, is now relining about twenty-six of these guns every year, at a cost of $10,000 each.

". 4%-/?-

"How often must these big gun$ be fired before the relining process becomes necessary?" was asked Rear-Admiral Joseph Strauss, chief of the navy bureau of ordinance. "About one hundred and seventvfive times for the 12-inch and 14inch guns", was the reply. Marksmanship Depends on Practice

Every year, at target practice at sea, each of the guns is fired, on an average, twelve times. Foreign governments have an amount of tar gfet practice ab6ut equal to that of the United States. This practice is highly important, for markmanship jdgpefitis on it. |fk "The-cost of each of the big guns t&&s iW55fiis $57,800 for the 14for the 12-inch.

HARDWARE AMD HOU&EFURNISHINGS

ed", explains the admiral. "Being in a soft condition as the result of the heat, the surface of the metal is worn off at each shot. If the shots follow each other with rapidity, the amount of wear will be correspondingly greater than if the intervals between shots were longer. But there will be erosion no matter how leisurely the shots may be fired." "Would the 12-inch and the 14inch guns of the navy stand up under, say, one hundred successive shots?" "I think they would. In my opinion, however, no battle conditions would ever call, for the .firing of one .hundred, successive sh&ts from a particular gun. The firing rate iii battle would, in all probability, be considerably slower than it is in target practice." "In time will these guns wear out?" "Probably hot. There is no reason for believing that there is any limit to the number of times we can reline a gun. Twice a year the 12inch guns ar3 fired at battle range. We do not use the 14-inch guns for this work.

Cost of Firing Guns.

"It costs between $477 and $720 each time one of the big guns of the navy is fired, using the shells and explosives that would be used in battle. The variation noted is due to the variation in price of shells, powder, etc. We use cheap shells, and no explosives, at target •practice and therefore the cost per shot on the target ranges is about $250."

In reply to the question, whether the naval powers of Europe, to a considerable degree, were not getting away from -the high class battleships and turning more and more to submarines, aeroplanes, etc., Admiral Strauss said: "There is' a good deal of activity all over the world regarding aeroplanes and submarines, but they have their limitations. We are active in that line, too, but it does not seem to halt the construction of the prime weapon of sea warfare—the battleship.—Indianapolis News.
