Custards, squash and pumpkin pies, and the like, in the preparation of chocolate or cocoa. as a drink, in the making of sherbets and other ices and in dozens of othâ€" er ways which will readily occur to housekeepers. In the preparation of soups. such as potato, celery, tomato, green pea, and green corn soups; fish, lobster, clam, and oyster chowders, bisques and stews, skim milk will (satisfuc~ torily) replace the Whole milk 1hat the directions for preparing usually call for. Skim milk makes us good white soups as whole milk. Bread mixed with skim milk is more nuâ€" tritious than that made with Water. All kinds of quick biscuit, griddle takes, etc., can be made Wi1h skim as Well as with whole milk. (Tn most kinds of cake, skim milk will be found a perfect substitute for whole milk. If the skim milk is sour, so much the better for cake and quick bread making, as only half the cream of tartar called for in the reâ€" cipe will be needed. as the flour, since very nearly equal Quantities of the two materials Iverc used. soda and 3 ounces of cream of farm tar. This dough was cut into pieces weighing 6 ounces, rolled out and‘ baked on a hot iron plate, yielding 25 pounds of scones. The mixture [or pancakes was similar in compo~ sition but thinner, 14 pounds ofi flour being mixed with 16 pounds of skim milk and the same amount of leavoning material as before. This! butter was cooked on a. hot greased plate, yielding 30 pounds of cakes, there being practically no evaporaâ€" tion in baking. The large amount of skim milk utilized in proportion to the flour is noteworthy. If the‘ scones and cakes are sold, the skimi milk has practically the ‘ SAME COMMERCIAL VALUE At its annual show, held in Lon~ don in October, 1899, the ussocim tion conducth tests on the value of skim milk for making scones and pancakes. The dough from the scones was made from 14 pounds of American flour. 11 pounds of sour milk, 3 ounces of bicarbonate of soda and 3 ounces of cream of tar~ DURING BAKING. The same quantity of flour would take up 210 pounds of skim milk and yield 110 four-pound loaves. the skrinkage during baking in this case being 50 pounds. The Water bread is said to sell for 10 cents and the milk bread for 11 cents per loaf. Asâ€" suming; that. the above quantity of skim milk was worth $1.64, the skim milk bread would yield a profit of 86 cents more than the water broad. According to a recent report in the journal of the British. Dairy Farmers’ Association, skim milk ma- terially increases the yield of bread and consequently the profits in bread making, It was found that 280 pounds o‘l‘ flour would take up 175 pounds of water in mixing the dough, and yield 94 four-pound loaves, there being a. loss of 71 pounds of water It is common pracuce in many households to use more or less milk for mixing dough, since it is believâ€" ed that the quality of the bread is thereby improved. Frequently skim milk is used instead of whole milk. Doubtless comparatively few persons realize that skim will: has a fairly high food value, and that its use makes bread more nutritious. in ad- dition to improving its quality. It must be remembered that when the cream is removed the milk is depriv- ed ol only one of its constituents, namely fat. It still contains practi- cally all the highly nutritious casein and other nitrogenous materials, as well as the milk sugar and ash- orig- inally present, in addition to about 0.3 per cent. of ash, (good Whole milk contains from 3 to 5 per cent. fat.)

So narrow is the space into which she is crowded that she is oblig~ ed to sit forever with knee and chin touching. Her name is The Very Be- ginning, and from her are sprung nuv merous spirits. They inhabit five dif» ferent floors, into which the great co- coanut is divided. From certain of these spirits mankind is descended.

Nothing cleanses the eye like a good salty shower bath, and medical art has followed nature’s law in this jrespect, advocating the invigorating solution for any distressed condition of the optics.

Where human beings dwell. At the very bottom or this imaginary shell is a stem gradually tapering to a point which represents the beginning or all things. This point is a spirit or demon without human form, whose name is Root of All Exlstence. By him the eu- til'e fabric of creation is sustained. Tears do not weaken the sight, but improve it. They act as a tonic on the muscular vision, keeping the eye soft and limpld, and it will be noticed that women in whose eyes sympathetic tears gather quickly have brighter, tenderer orbs than others. When the pupils are hard and cold, the world attributes it to one‘s disposition, which is a mere figure of speech, implying the lack of balmy tears that are to the cornea What salve is to the skin or nourishment to the blood.

She went up stairs loaded with good things to glndden the heart of Ikey and his numerous rel- atires and forgot to take from its socket the little running plug of the White Arrow. With that tiny key safe in her chatelaine bag the capacity for mischief in the combination of small boy and automobile was reduced to a minimum. Her electric horse would be hltched fast. But with that brass plug lurking impishly in its hiding place behind the leather apron of the seat and with little Mose Rudinsky's bump of curiosity much inflated the ineligible occurred. The White Arrow had gone complete- ly over the child, “straddling” it neat- ly. so she picked him up more frighten- ed than hurt. After cmnl’orting him with some of Ikey's confectionery sup- plies she rode on, leaving him with round eyes still staring tearfully and rounder mouth peacefully stuffed with raisins. She was winking so fast to keep the tears back that she did not see the nu- merous warning symptoms of the great lower east side, the hundreds of chil- dren, abundant riches of the poor. Be- comlng mistlly conscious or a gurgling squall stopped half way down a baby throat. she looked back and saw a sprawling Infant in her wake. “But of course everybody has to 1 learn to be anything,” she comforted herself, not choosing to remember that Harvey had counseled her to wait till i she did learn before venturing out of i the park, “and papa gave me the White Arrow only in October. I think ‘ I’ve done pretty well in that time.” , She sighed when she thought how! long it had been, because it was only i the week after that Hurveyâ€" 0h, ‘ dear! And he had hinted about a ‘ pearl necklace for her birthday! Now, among her tiresome gifts, not one from hlm, not even a bunch of flowersâ€"~‘ he who had sent her violets every day! But she blushed as she glanced down at i those tucked under her coat lapel. To be sure. the little Jewish newsboy to whom she was playing Lady Boun- tiful was laid up with a pair of smash- ed toes as a result of a contested right of way. In the encounter her auto- mobile had come out on top in every sense of the word and had been since gallantly carrying supplies to a de- feated foe whose wounds the farsee- iug parents did not allow to heal too rapidly. “Harvey was always so superior!" she thought scornfully as she pressed down on the accelerator and shot around Deadman's curve, narrowly grazing a policeman and scattering his convoy of pedestrians. “1 can run the White Arrow as well as he can." For their quarrel had been brought about by a difference of opinion as to her qualifications as chauffeur. And the fateful Juggernaut car which had ridden ruthlessly over two fond hearts and brought about this state of affairs was no other than the little white electric runabout which was now carrying her ghettowm‘d. Charlty covers a multitude of heart- _aches. Therefore was Miss Anice speeding on errands of mercy this clear December day. Dr. Harvey had been guilty of the first in an eminent degree. In con- sequence he was carrying round a re- turned diamond 1-ing in close proximity to a very heavy heart, which had also been declined with thanks, as though it were an unavailable manuscript. “Oui, mnmselle, but ze violets have faded since yesterday. Ze pink roses go better wiz miladi’s gown.” Miss Anice repeated her order more imperatively. She would have told you that she detested dictation and pink teas. But her tall, willful daughter was al- ready half way down stairs. Pauslng in the hall and thrusting her hands in- to the sleeves of her long raglan, she sald: “Go back to my room, Celeste, and bring me the violets to wear.” ~ “Well,” said her mother plaintively, taking up a novel, “(10 be careful with that automobile. Don't iet it run away with you. You'll get smfillpox or some- thing down In that awful ghetto, a you call it. And be sure to change your clothes before”â€" “I'm sick of the first two, lady moth- er. Therefore will I practice charity.” Anice covered a rosebud mouth, halt blown into a yawn, with a gloved hand as she stood in argumentative attitude before the flickering gas log. “Society, frivolity, charity, and the greatest of these is charity." ‘OWMWMWO: WOMOOOOOWW Copyright, 1901, by Llllan C.

His face lit up joyfully as he swung into the seat beside her. His left hand was upon the controller, but his right disappeared under her raglan sleeve. “Yes. I thought so,” she said very softly. Then she bravely flew the flag of un- conditional surrender. “Won’t you please take me home, Harvey. I don’t think I can manage the White Arrow very wellâ€"yet.” “But you knew they were mine‘ didn't you, Anice. dear?” She followed the direction of his glance and blushed furiously. “There was no card with them”â€" she excused weakly. ‘ “Shall I assist you up, Missâ€"Anice?” the last as he caught sight of the faded violets.

"Yes," he said. meeting her glance unflinchingly. “I have several in this region, Ikey Meemstein among them." The tall young man seated himself calmly, backed the runabout slowly and turned it around. following the direction of Mose‘s trembling finger. Miss Anice was waiting ito {receive them at the crossing. “Oh, Hurvey--you,” she said, then very dignifiedly: “Thank you very much, Dr. Givins. I had no idea”- “Now, youngster, where dld you get this machine '2” He waited till it sped alongside, then quick as 11 flash flung himself on the rear of the auto. Grasping the pro- jecting axle. he swung himself up, then reached over the back of the seat and seized the controller. “Lift your foot,” he commanded. Mose. with face very white under its dirt, obeyed meekly. “Jam your lever back!" he shouted. But poor Mose was too frightened to obey. He only clung tighter to the controller, pushing it to the third notch. The cal-Helge shot forward. As it bowled toward the tall young man he sprang out almost directly in its path. Suddenly a tall young man In a long ulster appeared around the corner ahead of the flying White Arrow. She ran blindly after him. dizzy with visions of a sickening collislon on the street car line a few blocks away. A burly policeman joined in the chase, and recruits swarmed up, seemingly from the ground. When Anlce reached the pavement, breathless and pale. she could see down the narrow street a runaway au- tomobile, with n frightened barehead- ed boy clinging to the seat and scream- ing frantically. Miss Anice was descending the rick- ety stairs amid a shower of blessings when she heard a shout below. “Yer nottymoble!” he gasped. “It's runâ€"offâ€"wld Mose!” Mose stood up and grasped the brlght steering lever. It moved and the front wheels with it. bumping vl- clously into the shins of the boy who had questioned the courage of Mose, whereunon that young centleman laughed triumphantly and sat down comfortably on the soft leather sent. his grimy face, touslcd 'black hair and greasy garments ludicrously out of place among the luxurious cushions. His elbow struck the controller han- dle. There was new food for investiga- tions. Mose Investigated. The Whlte Arrow started obediently down the street. "What's wrong?" she demanded of a panting child. Mose scrambled up the big, fat cush- loned wheel. “Dex- loidy zed fer us not ter tech ut!" warned another stolidly. while a third cautiously fingered the shining. unlit eye of the fore light.
