OUK KITCHEN ORCHESTRA. We have a kitchen orchestra. All artists iu our line; The instruments we play on are Of rather queer design. For drums we use the chopping Board; for drumsticks, kuives and spoons. And hammer out the cadence to The good old-fashioned tunes! Now Moses plays the air on a Harmonica, and Frank Just picks upoh a banjo with * A soft ker-pink, ker-pank! The leader holds a broomstick. And so keeps the rhythm true. While Keuben beats the time upon The coalhod with his shoe! We’re open for engagements by The hour, day or week. So if y«u want au orchestra You’d better qulAly speak; You haven’t heard such harmony For many, many moons. As issues from the kitchen when We play those good old tunes! —Boston Globe. SUNDAY MORNING BREAKFAST.

How to Serve, When to Serve, What to Serve, to Make It a Delightful Repast.

A Sunday morning breakfast, poetically treated, is one of the most luxurious things in life. Neglected, it is one of life’s miseries. The man who knows how to enjoy a Sunday breakfast is the man who sleeps late, who rises without a. sense of care upon him, who dresses as he pleases—either fastidiously or in a gown—as the mood

strikes him, and who comes into the

breakfast room feeling glad that the i flattened into thick little brown pads.

that used the rest of the week; if the oatmeal can be prepared in a new shape and form, and if the simplicity of the lish balls can be varied and lifted from the oval monotony, why, you have new dishes. After all, you know, it is meal and cereal, and Ash and fowl, fruit and more fruit. You can’t have new things. But you can brown them differently, you can shape them new ways; you can offer new combinations: you can make the old, old dishes into new, new ones; and so will your table be attract-

ive.

To begin with the oranges: They “French” them nowadays, making them much superior to the orange of commerce. Whipped cream graces the top and the many points of the orange that are so battling to one who attempts to cut and separate them are

already outstanding.

Toast offers wonderful possibilities,

after you get away from the squares of varying thickness, brought iu discordant chunks to the table. They make toast sandwiches sometimes. A very thin slice of toast is laid on top of a thicker one, with butter in between. A little particle of jelly is spread over the butter, not quite enough to hold the slices together and

give (i delicate suggestiveness. Picturesque corn mutiins can be

made. They are the kind that crack open with richness and await the drop of butter in the top, which settles long before the muAin is broken open. For old-fashioned folk the jug of maple syrup must always be upon the table, pretty and tempting, and those who eat corn muffins with this delicacy can have it. Few would ask for it. for bread and molasses are not on the social calendar of the fashionable eat-

ables, therefore it should be served. Fish cakes, after browning, can be

world and lie are' alive.

It matters not what kind of a day It may be without, for the Sunday morning breakfast is not dependent upon the barometer. If it storm, so much the merrier; one does not have to go out. If pleasant there is a happy feeling in the air, andj the outside

world awaits you. ;

To partake of a hasty Sunday morning breakfast is a pity. A flower dropped in the mud does not lose sweeter opportunities; a case of flnancial distress is not more temporarily bad; a case of blues not more disheartening. The man who allows time or circumstances to deprive him of the pleasure of a good Sunday morning repast is to be pitied, for surely he did

not do it on purpose.

The Sunday morning breakfast is, or should be, to the woman, the sweet-do-nothing meal. With its plans carefully laid the night before, and with the household arrangements planned to permit of good service, the meal is the one of all the week that might be to her a meal of peace. The family Sunday morning breakfast can be made a general feast, with syrup ever pres-

ent as a sweetener.

The tete-a-tete Sunday morning breakfast is a seventh day joy to be {

and upon each can be placed a poached egg. For tins by all means get a poacher. The poached egg, as served at home, is too often an uncertain quantity. There’s many a slip between the hot water and the flshbali'. and the poached egg comes to table a queerlooking tiling. Poached eggs should match each other. They should look as though they were all laid in one nest. The center should be soft and shrouded with white; the outside firm and standing, not slobbing all over the plate. They say it takes nerve to poach an egg and lift it without breaking it; then get

nerve.

Kidneys are quite delightful served well. There is a German style which is much liked. This, for a breakfast dish, is substantial, and will be appreciated by those who want something besides a flshbali. None of these dishes are complex, yet all have their novel points, studied and tried they may lead to the discovery of a family favorite; failing that, they are welcome

surely for one trying.

Thoroughly cool the oranges over night. In the morning cut across the top and lift the ends to make points. Fill with whipped cream and on top place a candied cherry. Serve with

Move into the cliurchly neighborhood, time your footsteps — and then sit at the breakfast table-us long as possible, for its cup of joy will not be handed to you in six long days again—only flfty-'two times in a year. They say that off in some parts of the country they sit down to a disli of pork and lieu ns on Sunday morning— only this and nothing more. In another section of the land the people arc said to cat rice and milk and to want nothing to s go with this combination. Rut the twentieth century stomach is apt to crave more than tnis and to be rebellious, .if nothing else is offered. Those families that attend church in the afternoon and evening, and do not allow the morning to be broken, make a feast qf breakfast. It is the meal of the week when dishes arc brought forth and tried, when surprises are expected, when delicacies and wellbrowned dainties }>eep forth from platters, and covered dishes that bear them

in warm to the table.

An ideal cook was asked how to serve a' Sunday breakfast. “Have it

hot.” said she.

“What else?” was asked.

“Keep it hot.”

The having of the breakfast hot and the keeping it hot, through all the serving down to ’the last Wiping, is a trick that should la* learned by any housewife who aspires to the setting of a good table, or the serving of a good meal. The clammy muffin, the fiat fish bail'and the gray coffee are so frequent that you expect them, after the first hot installment. The merrier the meal ami the more conversational, the quicker ali grows cold, and the necessity of eating a thing while it is hot becomes apparent even to an Eskimo. There are those persons who are constitutionally thirsty in the morning. To these the iced fruits ar° very agreeable. Those who prefer, fruit at the temperature of the room ean easily have it so by a previous understanding with the housewife, who should always provide both sorts for her guests. The service of the Sunday morning breakfast is a thing that should receive a great deal of at tuition. Bettor let the dinner service he scanty than

the breakfast.

In the way of eatables there are many things that might be proposed. It is an easy meal to cater for. Fruit, oatmeal, muffins, hot breads, toast, fish

A glassful taken one hour before each meal and before retiring will put new life into the most anaemic of sufferers from the “effects of the grip.” Little Girls In White. Many of the smaller children are rigged in white, winter and summer. It is considered even the correct thing until a girl is six or seven to keep her in dainty white muslins. Her outer wraps are to be in white also. FISH POMACE.

A Delicacy From the Hindu Table— How to Prepare It.

Increasing intercourse with India has made Americans familiar with many of the table delicacies of the Hindu home. One has made so favorable an impression that it bids fair to l»e adopted in the new world. This is the fish pomace, a favorite side dish in the English dubs all the way from Egypt to Japan. Any fish will serve as the base. The bones and skin are removed, and the flakes of flesh are put into a mixing bowl. Here they are spiced, salted and covered with an otl or fat. This is worked, together till it becomes a pomace or paste, and is then put into a jar and covered with a layer of fresh oil or melted fat. The jar is then stoppered or sealed. In this state it will keep for months and even years, and will retain the full flavor and delicacy of the composition. In India, odd effects are produced by employing fishes with different colored meats. The red macassar is as red as if the shell of a boiled lobster. The yellow mullet is almost as chromatic as the salmon.

Ventilating the Hair.

vor of brushing the . hair. Brushing cleans the hair itself, but it does not invigorate the scalp as does combing, and neither is half as good as vigorous nibbing. When one begins she will find it takes a lot of rubbing to make the head tingle, but in a few weeks the first rub will start the blood. That tells Its own story, for where the circulation is sluggish tliere deterioration of vitality has begun. Where the blood runs freely, there life renews itself. Stuffed Dates. Take the broken pieces of walnut, about the same quantity of almonds, all broken bits of dates, a few seeded raisins, a small piece of citron and a little fig marmalade, chop tege*her very fine^ind then mix with a frosting of the White of one fcgg, one tablespoonful of lemon juice and unflleient sugar. It must bo very soft, for the chopped nuts are dry and will absorb considerable moisture. If not wet enough when molded add a few drops of water or lemon juice, according to taste. The mixture should be of a consistency to roll with the hands, and the dates should be filled. MY MOTHER. Many a hand that Friendship plighted Have I clasped with all delighted.

HINGING INSECTS OF JAPAN.

t h.-jy Are Caged arid Highly Priced For Their Musical Notes.

Singing birds are esteemed in all countries, but it is only in Japan that the musical sounds emitted by certain insects are appreciated. Listening to these minute singers is, and has been for many centuries, a favorite pastime of the Japanese, and lias given birth to an original commerce. At Toklo, toward the end of May and the beginning of June, one sees suspended under the verandas of houses beautiful little cages of bam boo, from \vhich break upon the silence of the fresh twilight strange little whistlings, of metallic modulations, of light trills, which till the air with a delicate music. It is habitually in the evening, afeer the hour of the bath, that the people of Tokio seat themselves and listen with delight to the shrill concert. The most prized of those Insects is the suzuinusln. Its name means “Insect bell,” and the sound which it emits resembles that of a tiny silver bell. It is a tiny black beetle, of a fiat body and very vulgar appearance. The kutsuwa-mushi is so named because its cry resembles the sound made by a horse in champing his bit. There are two species of it, the one a light yellow and the other a pale green. Really this insect is none other than a kind of winged grasshopper, of fat body and common in many countries. Another singing insect much esteemed, is the kirigirlsu, which js but a very large grasshopper, pnJmcing varied, strident sounds. Then there is the enaiukorogi, which is a kind of cricket; the kusa-hibari, a minute grasshopper, which Ins a sound of remarkable clearness. The kantan. originally from China, and which sings only at midnight; the kanotataki, whose song resembles the far away sound of’a clock. In Tokio alone there are over forty merchants dealing in singing insects. This commerce is of relatively recent origin, though for centuries the Japanese have been fond of the music of these insects. Formerly they would go in parties to places where the little musicians abounded, pass the night there extended upon mats, drinking tea or said and listening to tin* harmony of the suzumushi and kutsuwa-mushi. It is only about 100 years ago that an amateur named Choso had the idea of capturing one of these insects for his own particular diversion. Then the singing season over, he forgot a certain number in a closed vase. Great wail Ins surprise, on opening it the following year, to find it filled with new-ly-hatched young. After that he gave Himself up to the raiding of various, species of the. singing insects, and so founded a trade which has become flourishing. Actually the greater number of singing insects tire artificially raised by certain proceedings, so that their, hatching corresponds to the settsons when their admirers love to listen to them and to combine their sounds.

How the Girl Was Saved. One day, on a Solomon beach, ti little girl ran to me, and before 1 was aware of it, placed my foot on her neck. One knows what that means well enough. In hot war it means that if a chief allows his foot to rest on the defeated one’s neck the man’s life is safe, but be is a slave forever, rescue or no rescue. I was puzzled at the child’s action. It was soon explained. Shortly afterward down came a lot of villagers and insisted on taking the youngster. I told them what she had done. They said they did not care; her mother was licing cooked in tlic town, and the child should go to the ovens with la r. "Never,” I raid. “What, we. who had eaten liotel nut together many times, to quarrel for a mere child, to whom I had granted life in their own way!” I swore they should kill me first. They replied: “Oh. that was an easy thing to do.” A bold,front was the only thing now. Luckily I had my sixteen-shooter. Springing back and putting a mark on the sand with my foot, I swore I would shoot the first man who crossed it. 1 said before, the natives do not care to face an armed white in open. They knew I could answer for a dozen of them or so. and. although clubs were up ami bows bent, they hesitated —as well they might, and 1 knew I had mastered them. Then one proposed I should buj' cbe child fairly; they cared not to fight a friend. To this I at once agreed, and a muss was thus avoided, and a mission ax—worth lOd—made m£ a slave owner.

BROKEN BRIC-fl BRflCS Mr. Major, the famous cement man, of New York, explains some Very interesting facts about Maior’s Cement. The multitudes who use this standard article know that it is many hundred per cent, better than other cements for which similar claims are made, but a great many do not kaow the reason why. The simple reason is that Mr Major uses the best materials ever discovered and other manufacturers do not use them, be cause they are too expensive and do not allow large profits. Mr. Major tells us that one of the elements of his cement costs $3 75 a pound aud another costs $2,65 a gallon, while a large shareof the so-called cements and liquid glue upon the market are nothing more than six teen-cent glue,dissolved in water or citricacid and, in some cases altered slightly in color and odor by the addition of cheap and useless ma terials.

Major’s cement retails at fifteen cents and twenty-five cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon it that his only object.is to make larger proflt The profit on Major’s cement is as ranch aa any dealerought to make on any cement. And thia Is doubly true in View of the fact that p*»ch dealer gets his shareof the benefit of Mr Major’s 'advertising, which now amonts to over$S000 a month, throughout the country.
