If the pastry • maker a the fairrily will but make up her mind to reverse the old rules for producing light pastry and actually use boiling instead- of ice water, Pie neted no longer be forbidden even to those with delicate digestions. The pastry made in this way is not "puffy,' for it is the hard flakes of cold but- ter that cause the tempting "puff' that is so indigestible. It is, how- ever 'beautifully light and the hot water seems to transfoem the short- ening and rob it a its usaal effects. To make, proceed as follows: Sift a scant pint of flour with quarter of a teaspoonful each of baking powder and salt. Stir two large teaspoon- fuls of lard into a teacup of boiling water, and while still boiling hot u‘se this to stir the flour into a dough of the right consisteney to roll out easily. It is well to use the water a little at a time, as flour differs, and it may not all be needed. Roll out thin and • bake in a, rather quick oven. Left -over veal cutlet, chicken or game prepared as follows is very ap- petizing, both in avpdarance and flavor: Cut. the meat into neat bits and brush these singly with warm butter, cook for ten minutes in a quiek oven after speeading the whole with a paste made by mixing together •a teaspoonful each of French and English Mustard, two tablespoonfuls of chutney, chopped fine, salt, cayenne and bla.ok pepper to taste and half a leinorl squeezed over the top. Drese some chopped Celery or shredded. lettuce with a French dressing, place this, mound - shaped, in the centre of a dish on a • paper -lace priat, and put the meat around it. Raw cabbage sliced thinly with a sharp knife may be used for the centre. When pats of fowl are left over remove the meat from the bones, cover them with cold salted water and simmer until all the "goodis ex- tracted,. Reject meat and 'gristle, then pound. the meat in a mortar (or its substitute), afterward mix well with a teacupful of boiled -rice, add. a tablespoonful ot melted butter, pep- per and salt to taste and half a tea- eupful •of the stock procured from the bones. Rub the mixture through a hair sieve, then a.dd the well -beaten yolks of four eggs and lastly: the stiff- ened whites of two. Bake about fif- teen minutes in small paper cases. • The oven must be moderate, as if for •custard. • Many nioe economical little side dishes require a mortar • and hair sievee The cool months are the special time for relishes, and. the wise home caterer will arm herself with these and like applianoee for the proper making of these dainties. .Another little hint toward the ac- complisement of sightly and health.. ful frying is to remember that a well - beaten egg, to which is added a table- spoonful of milk and a pinch of salt, will be worth the slight extra trouble and expense. This, 'wite dried and sifted bread crabs made from stale bits, together with properly boiling fat, will insure-, even for cold porridge, the magical "golden brown: Unless the family is very large an egg will do twice. SUGGESTIONS TO HOUSEKEEPERS Never allow any one to pry up the edge of the cap of a fruit can in or- der to open it. It will be next to im- possible to make the cap fit properly • next time you want to use it. Get hold of the rubber and pull it out. Rubbers are cheaper than cans. To dip the kitchen broom daily in- to scalding water is said to lengthen its life remarkably. Kerosene 'oil will clean zinc better than almost anything • else. Put a few drops on a, flannel cloth and rub well. Don't throw water in which • you have waslaecl articles cleaned with kerosene into galvanized iron paits. The chemical combination is malodor- ous and destructive. Beans next to milk, according to Dr. J. Eastman, of Indianapolis, come nearest to nourishing each and every part of tile entire human system, and no one part in particular more than another, lie adds: "The pills which have been taken to relieve condi- tions resulting frem lack of proper dietand exercise, would, if showered from the skies, maintain a hailstorm over this eourtery foe days. An underdone boiled potato, says a writer on hygienic topics, is about as indigestible a food as one can take in- to the stomach, The unruptured. starch cells are penetrated, with great difficuLty by the digestive fluids, but when thoroughly cooked, potatoes are hot difficult of. digestion. A baked - potato is as a rule more digestible than a boiled one. Persons Who are troubl- ed with indigestion or dyspepsia...may, however, find potatoes very harinfule since they ferment very easily. SLEEP FOR CHILDREN. In a series of parlor talks given to young mothers by a skilled physician a number of praetical suggestions were laid clown regarding the sleep neees- sary for infants and. growing ohildeen. Netter wake a child 'unless absolutely neeessary. Good. sleep is a neoessity it health. and growth are to be main- tained. A. healthy normal baby will sleep 18 out a 24 hours, which gradu- dirainishes until at two years 15 out of 24 hours will suffice. This amount ot sleep ie gradually reduced Until at 15 years old 11 out of the 24 should be spe.nt 1n bed. Tee midday T nap for babies le most desirable. At thee time they shod be entirely un- dreseed and put to bed. After the fourth or fifth year cellelren will not sleep ie the daytime. In regard to a child's he, a good spring bed, a hair mattress and blankets not too heavy should, be provided. A. feather bed should never be permitted, only when a child is exeeptionally delicate and difficult to keep warm. Otherwsie it is too heating, Children should be put te sleep• in a comfortable room, not too warm, If possible, they Should elways sleep by themselves and, never in any case with a sick person. CRUSADE AGAINST CRADLES. "The liand that rocks the cradle re the hand that rules the world" was a very pretty sentiment in its day. Even now orators who are not. quite up to date on the ethics of "ceild culture" do a little along this line, They don't know that well -regulated mothers have started a crusade against cradle rock- ing, and that there is a stigma on the hand which persists in jogging the baby. Apparently the electricians did not know this, either, for they have in- vented. a cradle which can be rocked by electricity. 4.11 the fond mother has to do is to put the plug in the switchboard, and. the cradle will rock until the baby grows up and pulls the plug out eiraself, if Some one doesn't do it before that. Consequently, the prospects are that if the cradles of tee world do go swinging the hand. that rocks there will be that of the electri- cian. In that case, may be the hand that eocks the cradle will continue to bi . the one that rules the woeld, but there will marcely be so much senti- ment about it. JUDICIOUS LETTING ALONE, In these progressive days a woman must mingle in and with the world about ler, the world. of culture and en- joyment, in order to bring up her chil- dren as theyought to be, and as they can be brought up only by a patient and. judicious -cultured mother. It is the over -conscious mother who often , fails with her children whom she loves so tenderly, while the "happy-go-lucky" mother turns out at maturity a flock of sons and da.ugeters that help the world. along in all ways. There is such a thing as a judicious letting alone of children; and while there should be no lack of discipline back of dais, there must be some real freedom for every child. - HONEST TRAINING, The mother who, sees to it that her young sone and. daughters repay as promptly as possible, every penny they borrow from each other; sees that they never meddle with the contents of each others' shelves and drawers,1 sees, in short, that they repudiate all idea of a community of clothes, books and tops, is likely to have, in after years, the satisfaction of knowing that she is the mother of scrupulously' honest men and women. COOKING ON THE DECLINE. otos of Paris Complain That People No longer Anew Dow to Eat -They- Emi- grate te England. - Londoners who devote any attention at all to the subject have alivays con- sidered teat Parisians are the best - Catered -for people in the world, says a London letter. Hitherto Paris has bee looked upon as tee only place where cookery is raised to aavery fine art. All the great chefs on London and the vast majority of the waiters come from the French capital; therefore it is not to be wondered at that the impression prevails here that cookery is very seri- ous and. important business on the oth- er side of the Marine'. ' But it is all a mistake. The culinary art is declining rapidly in Paris. Sev- eral great authorities on the subject, who would like to think otherwise, de- clare that Frenchmen no longer en- courage superior cooking. Tee gour- met has passed out of existence. • Lefe in these days offers so many di- versions that the gratification of the palate is no longer an absorbing pur- suit. Superior cookery fails to arouse interest, and people accept what is placed before them to eat, either ig- norant of or indifferent to its merits or defects. COOKS COMPLAIN. At a conference of Paris chefs, the cooks complained that people no long- er know how to eat. The impulse is to eomplete the function in the brief- est time, to get away from it, instead of prolenging gastronomic enjoy- ment to its limits. The chef of one of the great bankers of Europe, in speaking of tee haste with which meals are eaten in these times, mid that tee daily dinner of his employer consisted of fifteen cours- es, and that it was consumed in forty menutes, or at an average, of two and Five o'clock tea is aeother foe that two -third minutes for each course. the. cooks of Paris look upon as most , formidable. At these functions cold' confections, wines, liqueurs, cakes, bore - bons, and chocolates are served. They came within tee domain of the confec- tioner. They wreck the appetite so completely that the chef has his con- coctions returned to him from the late dinner almost 1=1.0110:led. This is another blow to Gallic culinary pride. Altogether tee chefs of Paris consid- er that the cookery in France has sunk into a lethargy from whieh it canna be revived. The foremost artists are quitting their native land for England, where they are assured of large pe- t/watery reward. neore• AP6' Toon Phoophoalne, The Great English Remedy.

There le Serious trouble in eveVY orate:eery in the land, over certain of the patrons not keeping their milk cons clean. The cliffieuitY is largely because the patron does not under- stand the necessity of a dean ean. Ile has never reade any special study of this point, and there is no reason whY he should know ell there is to be known on this subject. But in suck a case, be ought to be willieg to take SOnle other man's word Inc it, who does know, ,and because be will not do this is the cause of all the loss and trouble that ensues. Farmers complain that their skim • milk sours too quiekly after leaving the oreAlnerY. If every Patron would thoroughly clean and scald his cans with boiling het water, before he puts his milk intothem, to bfing to the creamery, his niiflg would be in. mita better condition to keep to start with. - Teen if he would do the 'same thing, and add to it, scouring the seams with a brush after the skim milk is emptied from them, the can would be in much better shape to receive the freshmilk at the next milking. It is 'evident that a great many patrons and their wives do not really know 'what it means tor elean a can so it can safely held milk, and not taint it. „ • Experiments have seown that milk stored in sterilized GUIS Will keep nearly twice as long, as when kept in cans washed in the ordinary wag. To clean a can thoroughly, or free it from germs, it must be scrubbed, then meld- ed out with boiling water, or, better still, use live steara under pressure. No living organism oan withstand steam, not even bacteria spores, al- though some of them will resist a tem- perature of 200 deg. F. If dairy houses are supplied with a boiler, it can easily be managed to turn cans over a jet of steam havingu a peeseure of 15 or 20 pounds. After steaming, cans should he set bottom side up, as.bac- teria tend. to move downward. There are patent "milk can washers" on the market• welch are run by power, but tor the ordinary dairyman hand brush- es Nnvoilna. l found just as effectual and eoo The ideal way to be sure of having clean milk, would be for the patron to a e two sete oI cans, one for the frese milk, and the other for taking home the skina milk. Then when he empties the fresh milk owls have them thoroughly cleaned and steamed at the creamery, and at the same time have the skina milk can cleaned and other - Wise steamed before being filled with skim milk. The creamery always has the hot water and steam, and it oould eaeily fix up a can cleaning place, in addi- help the creamery to get sweet, pure den. This method would. greatly milk and help the farmer to longer keep his skim milk sweet. THE AltilMALS IN DEMAND. • The partners in one of the leading .firms of butchers in Llandudno, in Wales, have just published an inter- esting circular in which they give promiAence to the announcement that the beast which is at present in most demand, and for which they are pre- pared to give the highest price, is the • oompactly made animal, which carries a thick covering of flesh on the best parts, and yields nicely -mar- bled beef -that is beef in which the -lean and the fat are uniformly in- termixed. The demand. Inc over -fed cattle of all sizes has, they say, become a thing of the past; tee big tattle will have to follow. The value of fat cat- tle wile they contend, be regulated in the future by their size and thickness. The best traders require the smallest cattle they can get, provided they pos- sess the necessary thickness of nutri- tious, jean Esse, covered. with a reas- onable amount of fat. Cattle of this description, weiglabag in carcass 600 or 850 lbs., command the •largest prices, while similar cattle, weighing 750 to 900 lbs., come second. KILLING A WEED. It does not pay to make any false motions in hoeing, especially if kill- ing weeds is the object. Above all do not either cut off the leaves of a weed or anew others to do so before i up -rooting t if you want to kill it. We had a hired man once who persist- ed in spite of all we could tell him in striking , twice with his hoe to de- stroy a weed. With his first blow he struck the weed, just at the surface of the ground, cutting off all the top, Then he struck deeper and turned up the root. Invariably if a rain or cloudy weather dame that weed grew. It was simply transplanted under the best conditions for growing, much root and little top. • We let the man go after a tow days trial to reform him, but without effect. lie was too Stupid to know how to handle a hoe. POSTS IN SANDY. SOIL. There is great difference in the dur- ability of cliffererit kinds of posts and also in the sell where they are placed. Contrary to the general impression, a sandy or gravelly soil, which is esually dry, is much more liable to rot out posts than Mae Which is always wet. In the dry soil teere are frequent chanes front wet to dry, by which more air is brought in contact with the wood and this inteoduees the gonna of decay. In an always wet soli the writer is probably stageant and. eoutains little air. Oxygen is necessary to all decomposition, An • farMer who had owned both sandy farms and those that had a clay sub- soil once told us that posts on the sand had to be rertroved more that twice oe clay subsoil. 7 PAR$N1PS 'VOA COWS.

Parstrips are e favorite win- ter feed of jereey and Guernsey farm- ers, who by its use have beee able to breed cows whose high butter color has bee.eme hereditary in these breeds, No doubt the paramp feeding is in part responsible for the color. of Jer- sey butter. • GUARDING CROWNED HEADS. The Czar ant* the Sultan Are the NONt Cloes Iy Protected. Guarding the person of a sovereign is a matter of some importanee and, nearly every European ruler has his or her special body of guards, whoae sole duty is to study the safety of their regal employer. In civilized na- tions is this especially the ease when anarehists and plotters of various kinds are the oilief enemies to be fear- ed. Those who rule over nations bound up in eivilization scarcely need body guarde, inasmuch as even a look may mean death to a subject when life is regarded as such a trifle. In Europe, however, things are differ- ent, and every king or queen is pxo- teeted by a certain body of armed men. England's queen is guarded in mane . - ways. To begin with, she is always shadowed by a special body of de- tectives, who follow eer about incog- nito and set a watch upon every sus- picious person. The real body guard, of a Britise sovereign consists ef the Beefeaters,' that venerable corps whose quaint dress attracts the attention of all visitors to the tower of London. Henry VET. founded them Inc this purpose, and they have since existed as the body guard of every British sov- ereign. Wean her majesty is travel- ing in London she is generally ac- companied by a squadron of Royal Horse guards or Life guards, in the . absence of . THE BEEFEATERS. who now fulfill their duty more in mime than anything else except as keepers of tee tower. In the diamond. jubilee procession a guard was furn- ished by both Britigh and Colonial troops. The czar is perbaps the most diffi- cult person to look after in the whole world, owing to the deep rooted plots which eXe constantly being formed against his life by Nihilists.. His chief body guard consists of a num- ber of Corsican police, veterans who haVo grown hoary headed in the de- tective service. They are never en- gaged by tee Russian court until they have attained a state of ability far above that usually reaehed by a de- tective, and there is no Scotland yard official Who can claim the success achieved by one of these men. They Are all Corsicans bred and born, for the cunning and craft of the inhabit- ants of that island are proverbial, and furthermore they are said to be the only people who can strike fear into the heart of the Nihilist. Their work chiefly lies be the kitchen and household generally, when he is tra- veling the mar seeks protection from a 'special corps furnishea by the na- ' tionat guard. Another crtewned head en uonstant peril is the sultan, Abdul -Harald. He is, however, sonaewhat comforted by; the thought that he has a corps of men known as Janissaries always about him. They taste his food and! guard his going out and his coming Ln, even to exaraining his bed before be gets into it. They are nothing more than fanatic.s, with so great a lust for blood that they will kill any- one Or anything upon the least provo- cation, welch is, perhaps, the reason wily their august master employs .1 them. It is a contmon saying in Tur- key that anyone who shows the slight- ' est sign of madness ca.n get into thel Janissaries. Up to about seven years ago the sultan always employed Albanians to guard laim, but one day he imagined that he had cause to doubt their fidelity, SO HE BEHEADED SOME, imprisoned others and sent the rest about their business. The Swiss used to be utilized as guards by neerly every sovereign in Europe on amount of their fidelity, but I now the pope is the only person who seeks their aid. He has two bodies of Swiss soldiery on duty at the Vatican, one in tee daytime and the other at night. The queen of Sptain has no body guard in the daytime, unless she is traveling, when she is accompanied. by a body of mounted troops. At night a special corps, known as the Monteros de Espinosa, guard the palace from midnight till 7 in the morning, when they are dismissed till the same hour the following night.
