Puree of Split Peasâ€"Soak 1 cup yellow split peas over night. Wash carefully in plenty of water the next morning. Boil steadily all the foreâ€" noon, keeping them well covered with water, to which has been added 1 scant. teaspoon salt. A little while before serving, rub through a. colanâ€" der. They should be cooked to a. soft pulp. Then return to the stove and add 1 qt hot milk. Boil up once and add 1 tablespoon melted butter and the same amount of flour stirred together. Boil a few min- utes until the flour is cooked, season with [Jenner and a. little tomato entsup. Serve at once. It should be the consistency of thin cream, and must. not stand, as it will thick- en as it. cools. Moistening finely chopped meat with a little soup stock or tomato gravy in which has been melted :1 little gelatine, and seasoning with sage and summer savory, besides the salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce, makes a delicious loaf, after H. has stood several hours, or over night. Everyone thinks they know how to nake hash, but really there is hash ippetizinp; and hash otherwise. 1 always put a generous amount of :lvipjping‘s in the frying pan, then put in the hush, cover tightly and let it heat. through slowly and evenâ€" ly, stirring occasionally with a pal- :tte knife Lastly, I mold it into n- loaf shape and let it brown nicely. Then it. can be turned over into a. platter. and put, on the table with some cluin to be recognized as someâ€" thing more than “just hash." Of course, one can make various combinations for croqnvttes, the same as in sculloping. Always add a beaten egg, and dip into egg, then bread crumbs, and fry in deep fat. It only takes a. jin'y to fry them, and the mixture can be prepared some time beforehand. Of course everything must be chopped very line. crumbs are all suitable to scallop with. When there is a cup or two of toâ€" mato left and the gravy is all gone, I add a. little water and stew the toâ€" mato slowly. Then 1 strain it and season carefully, adding 1 tableâ€" spoon butter and flour rubbed toâ€" gether. Cook this until thickened, then add the meat cut into small pieces. Let it heat, through, but don’t boil it one hit. SomeLimes l scallop meat and carrots. Slice the carrots very thin and cut the meat into small, thin pieces». Put them into a wellâ€"butterâ€" ed pudding dish, layer upon layer, seasoning as you proceed. Moisten thoroughly with soup stock. Cover closely and bake ever so slowly for [L long time. A few moments before serving; remove the cover and browxi slightly. A finely chopped onion improves it, for some tastes. Cab- bage, potato, cooked rice or bread Genuine mire wm 01 Another nice way I (ind is to cut into pieces about two inches square and one inch thick. fry :1 good brown in drippings, and bake very slowly in a tightly Covered dish, keeping it supplied with enough water to cover. This also makes a delicious foundation for a potpic. A little bread dough rolled out makes a. nice crust ; so does mashed poâ€" tato. Be sure to be particular about the seasoning, for that and the way the cooking; is (lone are the necessary points. Use salt and popâ€" per always, then a little celery salt, some Worcestershim sauce and t0- lnnto eatsup are often desirable. The warming over stage has now arrived, and to be prepared for it I try to keep some nice soup stock on hand and a supply of bread crumbs. We like it sliced very thin and then placed in plain hot gravy for a few minutes. It should never be allowed to boil, as that toughens it, 01‘ sometimes I just cut. it up into little pieces and warm it the same way. 1t. depends upon whether it can he nicely sliced or not. In the first place. I get :1 must without bonesâ€"I like a rump mast pretty well. It is possible to cut 011' a few slices of steak fur the first meal. Then comes the juicy roast, cooked rare. Such n piece of meat can be warmed in the oven and servâ€" ed n hot roast tWiCe in succession if desired. The main thing is to let it remain in the chn the second time just barely long enough to heat through, so as not to allon it to dry. After that, the large. thin, delicate slices of meat that, can only be cut off with a very sharp knife, are arranged menly on a platter with some bits of green stulf scatâ€" tered around the edge, to make it look real pretty. that when the roast comes onLo the table it; is not greeted with a boarding house smile, and no one remarks that, "it is beef all this week." Why I buy_such a. large roast of beef or mutton is often a puzzle to same of my good neighbors, who don’t happen to manage just as I doâ€"you know we’re not all alike in this world, anyhow, says Laura Whittemore.

To sleep on sentry is one of the most serious of military crimes: it is inex- cusable from the military point of view, for the safety of thousands may hang upon the vigilance of one man, yet the strain of some weari- some, long-protracted march or fa- tiguing operations will sometimes ex- plain What cannot be defended.

Baked bananas are nutritious food and can be eaten by those with whom the raw fruit. disagrees. They are specitu nice for breakfast. To prepare clip the ends, slit the skins from end to end, but do not remove, and bake fifteen or twenty minutes. To serve, remove the skins and sprinkle with a. little sugar. The small brushes for cleaning vegetables are a necessity to the woman who cares for the appearance of her hands. They are too cheap to be dispensed with. If you have to buy new baking tfns for bread, get the long, circular pans, which give a brown, crisp crust all round. The crust, hygienâ€" ists tell us, is the most, healthful and nutritious part of the loaf. Water bottles and vases are someâ€" times clouded by the deposit, from the water.

THE CROWN POINT l The young man thought he could do it; it, should be but a week to Queenstown. He found that the first mate had already died; the second mate and thecaptain were dying. There was no Well man on board, and some were suffering terribly. The vessel belonged to Hamburg, and of the German crew but one man spoke English, and he employed this lanâ€" guage promptly to inform his new officer that there were other foes beâ€" sides the scurvy on boardâ€"the sec- ond mate’s terrier, which guarded his berth and would not leave it,‘ had hydrophohia, while the vessel was infested with poisonous “schmall sclmakes mit feet”â€"tl1at is, scorâ€" pions, which had escaped from the logwood of which the cargo con-‘ sisted. Fred W. Bryant, second mate of the steamer Crown Point of Philadelâ€" phia, is one which no invention of Mr. Clark Russell could surpass in interest. The Planet, delayed by head winds and hurricanes. was one hundred and sixtyâ€"seven days out, and her food had “gone bad,” when she signaled the Crown Point and asked for a tow. Her erratic move- ments had already attracted atten- tion; something was clearly Wrong. Mr. Bryant Was sent aboard her and the case explained. A hawser was then attached, but it parted with the first strain, and his captain decided not to try to tow, if Bryant would undertake to sail the vessel into port with such help as her sick crew could give.

Crossing a field one day a man was pursued by an angry bull. He made for the fence but soon discovered that the hull was overtaking him. He then began to run round a hayâ€" stuck in the field, and the bull purâ€" sued him, but in making the short circles round the stack, he Was the faster, and instead of the bull catch- ing him, he caught the bull and grabbed him by the tail, with 9. firm grip and a. controlling one. He he- gun to kick the bull, and the bull bellowed with agony and dashed across the field, with the man hang- ing to his tail, and kicking him at every jump, and as they flew along“ he yelled at the hull: “Bother you! who began this fight?" The Emperor’s attendants will. therefore, continue to he Mnnchus. It would be an innovation indeed if the palace grounds were permitted to be overrun with Chinese. “At the times for selecting girls for palace attendants," continues the edict, "the Manchus must still be chosen. There must not he any se- lection of Chinese, lest we hi1 into the corrupt practices of the former Ming dynasty. We, therefore. make this restriction out of deference to the feelings of the Chinese [cophfl "Now, however," says the edict, “customs and beliefs are alike, and more than 200 years having passed, we ought to defer to the general feeling and remove the prohibition. We, therefore, command that, Mun- chus and Chinese, Whether oificials or people, be allowed to intermuri‘y. Let there be no bigoted adherence to old custom.” The edict, however, makes it clear that the Government wishes to avoid too farâ€"reaching reforms. TWO DISTINCT PEOPLES. The Imperial edict goes on to ex- plain that the original reason Why intermarriage between the Munchus and the Chinese was prohibited When the Manchu dynasty came into pow- er was that the customs and speech of the two peoples were considerably unlike and therefore it was thought best to keep them distinct. r Tho Pekin Government has also doâ€" clared itself in favor of another ro- markable innovation. For ages there has been no intermarriage be- tween the Manchu and the Chinese people. The hundreds of millions of Chinese have permitted themselves to be governed by the Manchus. though a sharp line of demarcation has sep- arated them into The bones are extremely soft, the little feet are scarcely more than a. mass of pulp and compression simp- ly arrests development. It. certainâ€" ly causes some discomfort; but phy- sicians say that acute pain is not inâ€" volved in the process. According to all accounts the evil of foot, compression in China. is miti- gated 1.0 some extent by the fact that little or no pain is associated with the process by which the de- formity is caused. The feet are bound when the baby is only a few days old. The Chinese missionary, A. H. Smith, Wrote awhile ago that as soon as a. Chinese girl becomes of marriagcable age she is provorliially a. commodity as “dangerous as smuggled salt." When once she is betrothed she is kept far more seâ€" cluded than ever before. The small- (‘st undoinost innocent, circumstance is sufficient to start vicious and malevolent gossip and it is a. social axiom that scandals cluster about a. widow‘s door. cause them all to understand. in the hope that this old custom may be gradually abolished." - The reigning dynasty in China. has for centuries been Manchu and the Munchus have never been addicted to the habit of footâ€"binding. The Em- ‘press Dowager therefore in giving her influence to reform in this respect is not treading on the toes of any of her own people. It is appalling to think that hunâ€" dreds of thousands of women in China. are crippled for life by the practice of footâ€"binding. This cus- tom does not prevail among the low- er classes. Poor girls need to Work for a living and their efficiency would he almost destroyed it they were compelled to hobble through life on mere stumps of feet. It is the weal- thy and the Wellâ€"to-do that subject; their daughters to this terrible muf- tilation and the reason for it is that the Chinese are very jealous of their women and very fearful that THEY WILL GO ASTRAY. An Imperial edict published in the Pekin Gazette on Feb. 1 says: “The Chinese women for the most part have followed for a. long time the custom of foot-binding which is an injury to the good order of cre- ation.
