fine them with beans, making sure,
that they are not too heavy. If one is

I would almost be out of my mind. I
doctored myself with everything I.
could get, until at last I got four boxes
of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, and
they have cured me. I cannot speak
too highly of this wonderful remedy,
and will recommend it to all sufferers."

'I`NE REGENA -:
TRAVELER'S LUNCH.
Home Far. Often Better Than Dining
Car Meals,
To pack lunch for a traveler re-
quires much more finesse and care
than if you were preparing for a day's
picnic. Traveling is apt to be tire-
some, for long hours of riding, even in
a comfortable twentieth century train,
have many drawbacks, and if a lunch
is to be enjoyed on the road the same
must be the acme of daintiness. Many
travelers prefer to carry several meals
instead of patronizing the dining car
service when going on a long journey,
and if each meal is packed separately
and offers enough variety there is no
reason why the last should not be as
enjoyable as the first; Have white,
clean pasteboard boxes, wrap each in
a`. white paper and mark neatly. Use.
the best grade of white paper nap-
kins, dishes and waxed paper. A
small fruit knife or butter spreader,
aluminium fork and spoonand a col-
lapsible cup can be carried in one's
grip.
When using these recipes remember.
all measurements are level. Use a
graded half pint measuring cup and
sift our before treasuring.
Pimento Cheese Sandwiches.;
One soft cream cheese, one teaspoon-
ful of cream, one canned red pimen-
to, one teaspoonful of pimento oil;
mash the cheese with the cream to a
smooth paste, cut pimento intosmall
bits, add that and the oil which will be
found in the can, mix well and then
spread on unsweetened crackers.
Boston Sandwiches. .
One cupful of baked beans, two thin
slices of bacon, one teaspoonful of
ketchup, one teaspoonful of, mustard '
sauce, steamed brown bread. Run the
beans through a fruit press, cut the
bacon intotinycubes and fry to a -
golden crispness; drain off the fat and
add the cubes to the beans; add other,
ingredients and run to smooth paste;
spread between thin buttered slices of
brown bread.
Marshmallow Fingers.
Split lady, fingers and spread with
marshmallow: icing,, put a little sprin-
kling of ground almonds between,

MOLECULES ARE INVISIBLE.
Yet Their Tracks Through Space Can
Be Discerned.
It came to beevident about the mid-
dle of the last century that, iu order
to explain certain facts connected with'
the relative weights ofgases, matter
must not merely: consist of atoms, but
that these atoms must have the power
of uniting in small groups, In form-
ing a compound,; indeed, this must be
so. For instance. carbonic acid gas
must consist of one atom of carbon,
which, along with two atoms of oxy-
gen, forms a small group of three
atoms,.
The novelty of the conception was
In the notion that oxygen itself, in the
state of gas, Its it exists, for example,
in the air,' consists'of small groups of
atoms; in this case, two, To such small
groups of atoms was given the name
molecules. A molecule is that portion
of a substance which can exist in the
free state, as oxygen does in alr. An
atom generally exists in combination,
but atoms may, and sometimesde ex-
ist separately, in which case they, also
'are termed molecules.
Now, can molecules be seen? Is their
existence a mere assumption? The an-
swer to that question is, No, they can-
not be seen, but artificial molecules
can be made which correspond so
closely in their behavior to real mole -

Old Housewife's Pickling Recipes.
An old housekeeper noted for , the
good things which are concocted in her :
own kitchen lays down the following
laws for pickling, and all who would
learn should profit; by her instruction:
One. -Use .none but the beat cider
vinegar.
Two. -Use Porcelain lined kettles.
Three. -Keep pickles well covered
with vinegar.
Pour. -If you use ground spices, tie
them up in thin muslin bags.
Five.-Sweet,pickles should be rich
and sufficiently cooked to keep with-
out being sealed.
Six. -Nasturtiums or small pieces of
horseradish thrown In each jar pre-
vents the vinegar from molding,
Our grandmothers used to make what
they called "oil pickles," and their
recipe is worthy of being handed down
to posterity:
To fifty small cucumbers, sliced, add
one teacupful of salt and let stand
three hours; then drtiin carefully. Add
one quart of small _onions, also sliced;
one-half cupful of celery seed, one cup
ful of white mustard seed and a small
pinch of pulverized alum. Mix well
and then add one teacupful of the best
'salad oil and gradually enough vinegar
to make the pickle sufficiently moist.
Tomato ketchup retains its pristine
popularity, and an uncooked variety,
said to be excellent, is very simply
made. The ingredients are: Four
quarts ripe tomatoes, chopped fine and
drained sligbtly;' one cupful of chopped
onion, one cupful grated horseradish,
five stalks of celery, two red peppers
and one green one, chopped rather
fine; one-half cupful each of salt and
mustard seed, one cupful of sugar,
one-balf teaspoonful each of black pep-
per and mace, two teaspoonfuls each
of cinnamon and cloves and one quart
of eider vinegar. These should be
mixed, well and then sealed up in glass
jars.
• Plum ketchup is another delicacy sug-
gested by the abundance of the fruit.
To two quarts of tart plums add two
pounds of sugar and two cupfuls of
vinegar, also one-half teaspoonful each
of black pepper and salt, one teaspoon-
ful of clove and one tablespoonful of
cinnamon. This mixture should be
cooked together until soft, strained
through a colander and then boiled
until the consistency of cream is at-
tained. , sees-- see,
Bordeaux sauce is another of the
winter table delicacies. A good house-
keeper gives us the following recipe:
Slice and drain two quarts of green
tomatoes. Add four quarts sliced cab-
bage, slx onions, three red peppers,
one-half ounce each of celery seed,
whole cloves and whole peppers, two
ounces of white mustard seed, six cup-
fuls of sugar, one-half cupful of salt
and eight cupfuls of vinegar, The
mixture should be boiled for an hour
and a half, or longer if not thick
enough at the end of that time, and
then put into jars and sealed.
Dishes For invalids.
Beef Tea. -Take a piece of beef from
the round, remove all fat and gristle,
cut into small bits and put into a
glass bottle. Cover the meat with cold
water and place a cork in the bottle;
then place the bottle in a kettle of cold
water and let it come to a boil and boil
until the meat in the bottle becomes al-
most white. By tbis time the meat
juice will have been extracted. Strain
and salt to taste.
Lemonade. -To the juice of one large
lemon and two level tablespoonfuls, of
sugar; pour over this one and a quar-
ter cupfuls of water; strain . and set
on ice to chill. Serve this with a little
shaved ice and add a thin slice of
lemon to the tumbler. Where the sick
person requires frequent servings of
lemonade it might be well sometimes
to add a couple of sprigs of mint to
the glass. This makes it look appe-
tizing and where the flavor is liked
gives a little added zest to the patient
to drinking it.
Wine Jelly. --Soak two teaspoonfuls
of granulated gelatin iu two table-
spoonfuls of cold ,water. Place in a
saucepan on the fire in a scant table-
spoonful of boiling water, one thick
slice of lemon and one tablespoonful
of sugar. Let boil together for two
or three minutes, then strain and
squeeze the juice of the lemon into the
strained liquid, Add to this the dis-
solved geiatin, together with two table-,
spoonfuis of sherry. Pour into individ-
ual molds and let harden.
Pineapple Eggnog: To one new laid
egg, slightly beaten, add two table-
spoonfuls ofwater, two of lemon juice'
and two of fresh`' pineapple juice.
Strain the mixture over sbaved Ice
and sweeten to taste. Variety can be
given to, eggnogs fromday to day by
using different fruit favors from one's
homemade store. Another drink that
is usually acceptable in a sickroom,
where allowed, is made by mixing
three-quarters of a cupful of lemonade :
with one-quarter of a cupftll of grape,
juice and serving it with shaved ice.
To Give White Of Egg. -When white
of egg is prescribed for an Invalid It
may be served by putting .into a glass
two: tablespoonfuls of lemon or orange
juice or grape juice, thee adding the
stiffly beaten white and a little shaved
ice. A sprinkling of sugar or a bit of
