Invalids like marrow steamed and served with white sauce. Get the trimmings from the meat you buy., Remember that if the butdher sells them again he makes more profit on the trimmings than on the meat. To Cook Celery. How many boueewives know that celery can be cooked.' in at least three different wars without a re- sort to white sauce? The French cook the hearts deli- ciously as "celery eau jus," and spoonfuls of sugar. Let it stand in make :several variations of the dish by additions to the meat stock in which the celery, atter' being bleached, is cooked. The hearts cooked in this way, the coarse branches used'' forcelery soup, the leaves cooked for greens, -one may feel that they have utilized a bunch of celery toogood' advantage. Celery cooked in meat juice, eat- en the moment it is ready, is one of the most delicious compromises be- tween .a vegetable and .asineat dish, and even tough threads of cellulose present in celery branches—very serve cucumbers thus Wath salmon tough in the outer branches of a instead of with the usual dressing stalk—may be softened in this wa`y- of pepper, salt and vinegar.

Stir oc- casionally while cooking to prevent burning.. Any amount of marma- lade may be made, using one lemon to every three or four oranges and three pints of water to ,a pound of freshly cut fruit.

Household Hints. Shower hot water poured from a height of a fevv feet over a sprained ankle. A simple dessert is boiled rice and stewed figs or prunes served together with cream. One gallon of ice-cream, if served on,plates, will serve 24; if in sher- bet glasses, 30 at least. Often discoloration on enamel- ware may be removed by rubbing with a cloth dipped in vinegar. Salt in the oven placed over the baking plates, will prevent the pas- try from ,scorching at the 'bottom. Eat much fish. It is cheap, a.nd. many authorities assert it is more healthful in summer than meat. Eat many fresh vegetables and fruits. They are plentiful and ems- and it is best to eat them -while you can. Don't eat canned vegetables. Conserve the supply for winter. In- stead, put up all the vegetables and fruits you can. .Mice have a strong antipathy to peppermint, and a little oil of pep- permiLb :sprinkled aroundtheir haunts will help keep 'them away.

If France and Russia should •epared celery for five minutes; on cross a surveyed boundary conquer, Germany will doubtless be y compelled to stagger under such an exaction of tribute as no ancient Caesar ever dreamed. If the hoards tof Europe could. be- tapped—it etapped—i£ the hidden treasures of European 'cities •should be tapped by invading armies—the possibilities of loot in jewels and precious metals. are beyond compute. But all the loot possible" would not compensate for the hundreds of thousands of ounces of gold whichmust be paid each day for army sustenance and equipment. In olden times war's paid for thexrrselves, reckoning from the viewpoint of the victors. Wars were then for loot. The ships.of the conquerors returned from across the seas with treasure—they even went to .war loaded with treasure for emergencies; as witness the Spanish Armada, whose gold is .still the dream of fortune -seekers. The war chests of Europe are sup- posed to contain about $2,000,000,- 000 • in gold eoin and bullion. What possibilities of lootthis indicates is in soave measure understandable when one -considers that this means about 50,00n tons of yellow metal. and no mention is made of the bush- els of diamonds, ,rubies, pearls and gems also in peril: THE WAR CHESTS Of EUROPE W.4.R TREASURE IN WORLD'S HIDDEN. HOARDS. Are Supposed to Contain $2,000,- 000,000 in Gold Coin and Bullion. European •authorities fignred that when the Balkan was began and there was dread among the common people that a; general war mightre- sult, nearly $350,000,000 in gold was hoarded in three countries in sums ranging from a. gold piece or two up totens of thousands of dollars. Austria-Hungary was 'credited with hiding .away $150,000,000, Germany $55,000,000, and. France $130,000,- 000. This was money which had been traced into those ccaintries just be- fore the Balkan hostilities: began and after `war started.` In "addition to this vast .sum there was an an- guessable quantity of gold already buried in. the ground. Russia is believed to have tents of thousands of hoarders of money. The sign of wealth would mean the coming of the tax .colleotor; and among the men who look poor are owners of countless weight in gold. The great Imperial war chest has behind, it, if the signs meas 'any- thing, other stuns in little war chests—gold which the Government might 'draw out if it offered lands for sale, or bonds the people would trust, or opportunities in oom.merce heretofore denied them. England has its hidden hoards, Africa the Barbary .Coast people. have; their hoards estimated by the 'millions. The lost treasure -of the Incas is estimated at$000,000,000 in gold. Tti -Ancient Vaults. In the ruins of. Carthage is a vault that holds the treasure of the vandal . Geneseric, whioh was• not• found when Carbhags finally fell: The buried treasure of Carcassonne in southern France' was pact away when the Huns and Slays ranged over Europe trying to exterminate the Latins. Alaric the Goth looted Rome and cached his treasure in Oareassonne, tradition says, in a deep cave and killed &amen who helped him stow it away, and it has never been found. This treasure was part of it from Solomon's Temple; Titus having raided Jerusalem and made away. with the treasure that Solomon had gathered up and which was part of it loot that Bing David had cap- tured in his gnat, wars of conquest and defence. There' was the accu- mulation of ten centuries of profit in the Temple of Solomon. The loot sof ancient Rome, the 'loot of Constantinople, of Calcutta, Bombay, Pekin, with.the treasure ships captured atsea, paid the price. of capture. ,There were raids- on the treasure towns . of Spanish America. whioh made the pirates wealthy. But the capture of bullion and the exaction of •ra%,som failed to compensate -the victors, from about the Forme of the Napoleonic wars. Fortunes in Jewels: Wars of conquest followed- wars seeking loot. Nevertheless the mo- dern wads are accompanied by op- portunities of loot which are hardly paralleled in ancient history.

The riikber plant is perhaps the most used home plant and it justly deserves its popularity as itstands confinement in rooms (better than any other. They do best in sandy Ioarn with a little leaf soil, and should have small pots in compari- son with the size of the plants. The. only oars which they need is plenty of sprinkling with clear water to keep the pores of the leaves open. They do not need a great amount' of water at the roots, as too much will turn the leaves yellow. When this happens, it is well to stop wa- tering for a while. Be sure, how- ever, to keep the Teavee clean,. If not watched they will grow into a''lcward shapes; this 'can easily be ,avoided by pinching out the termin- als, letting them grow 'only to the size .and form desired.
