All these experiments, however,
rest ultimately upon gold. :If gold
became dross, it would be necessary
either to find a substitute metal
possessing similar qualities, or to
reorganize the existing monetary
systems of the commercial nations.
The latter is not beyond the reach
of sane dismission and of definite
proposals. Its essential defect
would Iie in the absence of power to
enforce international agreements
in of financial weakness offered
strong inducements for their viola-
tion.
The romantic dream of the sud-
den dethronement of gold;from its
place as the standard metal would
be controlled; to begin with, by
the cost of the processes of produc-
tion of artificial gold. The mere
discovery that gold could be pro-
duced by chemical processes would
not solve the problem, Unless ib
could be produced in large quanti-
ties at a cost materially below the
cost of. quartz -mining in South
Africa, the new process would re-
main only an interesting toy.

Salted nuts are always accept-

for afternoon and evening . enter-

the simple home dinner as well as
to the forinal one.
They are expensive when theyare
bought ready salted, and unless
they are bought of a reliable cater-

can be made easily,• inexpensively
and well made at home.
Peanuts are appetizing and so

from any street vendor of peanuts.
Shell them and remove the inside
skins by letting them stand for a
few minutes in boiling water, after
which the skins may be removed
easily between the thumb and fore-
finger. Leave them in the hot wa-
ter only long enough to wilt or
gook the nuts.
There are several ways of brown-
ing the nuts. One: way is to put
two teaspoonfuls of olive oil it
must be of good quality—in a pan
and roll the nuts in it. Thenput
them in a brisk oven and leave'
them there until they are brown.
Another way is to put a table-
spoonful of oil in the bottom of a
chafing dish, turn the heat full on
and drop in enough nuts at a time
to coverofpan.

licate brown.
Almonds shelledand blanched,
and pecans, carefully, cracked but
not blanched, canbe salted in the
saute manner as peanuts.
When they are brown turn them
in 11paper and sprinkle them with
salt. Let thein cool before taking
them from the paper, which_ absorbs
the superfluous oil and makes them
pleasanter to handle.
Creole Secrets for Soup.
Here are some rules that -the old
Creole .cooks 'give for soup making
-and if you have ever been in
Louisiana you know that their soup
is worth eninlatin•:
' To get the most goodness out of a
soup bone it should be fractured
every inch of its length. The soup
should never stop cooking from the
time it is put on the stove until it
is done, although it should at no
time boil furiously.
Once the soup is started cooking,
no water should be added, as this
spoils the flavor.
T}te soup bone should be put into
cold water and no salt should be
added till the soup is done, aa the
salt stops the flow of the juices.,
The soup should cook from five
to seven hours at least.
All spices used in the soup should'
be pub in whole—that is, whole
black and white peppers, cloves,
bay leaves, cloves of garlic, eto.

-One quart of water should be al-
lowed for every pound of meat and
bone, to begin with. This is a rule
of the .Creoles, but they make rich
soup. It weaker soup is to be made,
or if vegetables as well as meat are
used in the stock, the amount of wa-
ter can be increased..
Hints for the Home.
'Common soap, Tubbed on the.
hinges of a creaking door, will do
sway with the.trouble... •
Fasten a pincushion to the top
of the sewing machine arm and.
whole minutes will he saved.
A hot water platter is a boon to
the housewife whose "men folks"
are frequently •late for dinner.
The business' man'•s lunch of a
glass of milk and a piece of apple
pie is really a well-chosen meal.
Add a pinch of borax to the rins-
ing water of handkerchiefs, if you
would' have them a little stiff.
Baked samples are delicious with
their cores filled with orange mar-
malade o1' chopped nuts and sugar.
Irons will heat more quickly and,
'stay hot longer if a cake tin or
other cover is , turned upside down
over them.
An ordinary piece of mince pie is
said to be the equal in food value
to apiece of beef, a slice of bread
and a potato.
A faded carpet can be brightened
and cleaned by rubbing with warm
water and ammonia, with a little
borax in it.
dessert that fails in its ap-
peal to thepalate is a wasted at-
tempt, for desserts are eaten for
pleasure, not hunger.
Web the kitchen stove while cold
with a cloth dipped in kerosene oil;
then apply the blacking. ` The stove
will keep glean much longer.
"All odors end here" is the -in-.
flexible rule of ' charcoal. If the
charcoal is made red-hot and then -
cooled before using, its virtues are
increased.
Borax is the best hairbrush clean-
er. Add a teaspoonful of borax
and a tablespoonful of soda to the
water in which the hairbrush is to
be washed.
A change the children will appre-
ciate is the baking of mincemeat in
tart shape. Simply line patty pates,
with the:pastry and then fill them,
covering the top. •
,Tomato 'sauce is peculiarly good
■
with baked beans. Cold baked beans
covered with tomato'sauce . and
baked in the oven till the whole is
brown, is also e, savory luncheon

A fruit bananas

It is an excellent idea to have a
guest chest in the guest room. It
should contain emergency things
—
& nightgown, a bathrobe, slippers,
soap, wash cloths, even a brand
new toothbrush.
When'hot eloths are needed con-
stantly in time of sickness, keep a
colander full of them over a kettle
half full of boiling water. Keep
the kettle 'covered on the back of
the range.
'Colored goods ,should be ironed
while damp and upon the wrong
i
side, Delicate colors should not be
subjected to a hot iron, because
this fades thein quite as much as
hanging en the line'in"the sun.
A good luncheon dish is made of
the macaroni and stewed tomatoes
left from the -night before. Heat
them over again together and serve,
or pour into a baking dish, cover
with bread crumbs and bake" till
brown.
