"Don't salt cucumb'ers or eggplant beffre cooking. It, makes them indigestible indi-gestible and unpalatable. Avoid peeling ruba"rb when it is young and tender', for it only needs wiping with a damp cloth before using. A piece of tough meat can be very nicely stewed in a double boiler. It will take twice as long, however, as if cooked directly over -the fire. Fish which contains few bones maybe may-be converted into fillets by dividing the flesh from the backbone in long, wide strips and then removing any smaller bones. Soles supply the best fillets. Crusts and crumbs of bread left over from the table should be dried, put aside for rolling and dipping or to be used in scalloped dishes or mixed w ith 1 a few sliced apples and baked and served as a dinner dessert. To prevent sausages bursting when cooking put them into a saucepan, cover cov-er them with cold . water and bring this to a boil, after which take them out and fry them in the usual way. This, it is said, will not only prevent the sausages from bursting, but will improve their flavor. .' EFFECTIVE TABLE COVERS. Particularly effective for table covers cov-ers is the new improved Java or Aida canvas, which comes in very harmonious harmo-nious colorings and graceful designs. The material being reversible, a variety in the- color, may be introduced by using alternately the front and back. In one example the pure white ground is strewn with large lilies or dahlias and foliage woven with spring green, while streaks of thia tender color form a kind of fretting all over the background, back-ground, says the Brooklyn Eagle. The green parts representing the pattern are tilled "with cross stitch or, newer still. solid embroidery in lovelyl natural na-tural tints, mostly wrought in lustrine or any other glossy thread as a substitute substi-tute for silk. However, a mere outlining outlin-ing will be found suiflcient by many, while others still frequently use the material as it comes from the manufacturer. manufac-turer. Huge flowers are more striking when well shaded and relieved with Japane-e gold. Ivory work could be utilized to cover the damask bands of other table covers in khaki shades. TO DESIGNATE TO'YELS. A clever woman, according to Good Housekeeping., has hit upon the idea of embroidering with a dark blue or red thread he outlines of various utensils, such as tumblers, a cup and saucer, a frying pah or a saucepan, for the purpose of conveying by object Wessons the separate use for which each towel is . designed. She 'says: "What I could not impress upon the various girls who served in my kitchen was which towel was to be used for certain dishes. They wipe my cut glass with a heavy crash towel and the frying fry-ing pan with the towej designed for glass. Since I have put emblems on each of the towels I have no further trouble." ' President Porter of Yale college gives the following epigrammatic periods: "Young men. you arp the architects of your own fortunes: rely on your own strength of ' body and . soul. Take for-your for-your star self-reliance. Inscribe on your banner. .'Luck is a fool. Pluck is a hero.' Don't take too much advice; keep, at the helm and steer your own ship, and remember that the art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Think well of yourself. Strike out. Assume your own position. posi-tion. Put potatoes into a cart, go over a, rough road ad the mall ones go to the bottom. Rise above the envious en-vious and jealous. Fire above the mark you intend to hit.'- Energy, invincible invin-cible determination, with a right motive, mo-tive, are the levers that . move the world. Don't swear. Don't deceive. Don't read novels. Don't marry until you can support a wife. Be civil. Read the . papers. Advertise your business. Make money and do good with it. Love your God and fellow men. Love truth and virtue. Love your country and obey its laws."- ... |
