Ono really has a larno flold to work from during cold weather by using canned vegetables. There la hardly a meal that all the food lu consumed, and a few peas, with the sauco re moved, uddotl to the samo amount of peanuts mul half ns much In quantity of chopped Bour plcltles with a salad dressing, makes a good salad.

Unlziio nays: "If thoro Is nnythtns end dor tlinn unrecognized senilis It Ih ii mis understood stomach." THE OYSTER. Huxloy'B definition of tho oyster Is "a delicious llaBh of gustatory light ning." He, with nearly all lovers of tho blvalvo, will admit there Is no cooking which Improves It. It Is at Its Dost In its own liquor, fresh on tho Bholl. ' For stow, tho oysters should bo carefully handled, to romovo all bits of shell or a pearl, porhapB, then washod nnd scalded In their own liquor until tho ruflloa curl. Havo the milk hot, add tho seasonings to tho oysters; and pour over tho hot milk; i cheat nnd servo at once. To havo n good Btow ono niUHt havo good rich milk nnd bo lavish with tho buttor. Oyster Kabobs. Put into a Btow part a small chopped onion, add a ta blcspoonful of buttor, and cook tho onion until It 1b yellow; add a table spoonful of Hour, a few chopped mush rooms, a teaBpoonful of choppod pars loy and enough of egg yolk to mako tho mlxturo stick to tho oysters when rolled In It. Put n half dozen oysters on a skewer, then dip tho akowor Into broad crumbs and egg until well cov ered. Then fry In doop fat. Servo u skower to a person. Pigs In Blankets. This Is not u now way of serving o8ters, but It Is ono which is well liked. WIpo good sized oysters, season and wrap with a thin Bllco of bacon, Bkowor with a tooth pick nnd bako In hot oven until tho bacon Is crisp. Oysters Dolled. Throw tho oystora In tho shells Into boiling water and lot thdm boll for llvo mlnutos, thon tako up carofully and Borvo with molt ed butter. Oyster Rarebit. Break Into small pieces a half pound of rich cheoBo, put Into a Bnuco pan with u tublo epoonful of molted buttor nnd Bet on tho back part of tho range and slowly melt. Cook a pint of oysters until California's Mountains. Things aro wonderful principally by comparison. Thero aro CO or more lofty mountain In California rising moro than 13,000 feet nbovo Boa lovol which aro not considered BUlIlcIently notoworthy among all tho surrounding wealth of mountnln sconory to havo oven received names, according to tho United States geological Bitrvoy. Any ono of theso mountain peaks, If situ ated In tho ooBtcrn part of tho United States, would bo visited by thousands of people yearly. Out California has ! plump, then drain and keep them hot. Heat the yolks of two eggs, add tho oyster liquor and tho oysters, and stir In tho melted cheese. Servo on tho untoastcd side of a piece of browned toast Any cooked oysters, wheher cscal loped, stowed or otherwise cooked, will mako a good salad when chopped and mixed with vegetables of various kinds. When cooking ojstors cseal loped, It Is well to remember that moro than two layers of oysters will novor cook well, the Inner layer being undercooked. Tho on tire object of true (duration l-i to mako peoplo not merely do the rlRht things, but enjoy them not merely Indtis tiloiiH, but to lovo Industry not merely learned, but to lovo know ledRe not mere ly pure, hut to loe purity not merely Jiut, hut tii hunger mid thirst after Jus tice. John Ituakln. THE HOMELY TURNIP. Thoro Is no moro dolicIouB, sweet, Juicy vegetable, If taken fresh from the flold, than tho turnip, and Its ten der crlspneas Is enjoyed eaten from tho hand, as Is a carrot. If tho vogo table is well masticated they tiro every bit no good as a radish In the menu. If tho turnip Is not tough and full of liber, It 1b most dellclously served boiled and mashed, with plenty of butter for seasoning. Slices of boiled turnip fried until brown make a good accompanlmont to sliced cold roast. English Turnip. Pell, slice and cut lu dlco sufficient turnip, then boll In salt water, season with butter, pep per and Bait, and servo hot. Any of tho turnip which Is loft mny bo com bined with potato and served with droBsing on lettuce. Turnip Straws. Cut tho turnip on a vegetable sllcer Into straws, cook In salted water until tender, then sauto In butter until brown. Uso as a garnish for roast or turkey. When mashing turnips add (o tho buttor, pepper and Bait, a tiny pinch of mustard, and lastly a few table spoonfuls ofream. Tho addition of mustard must bo done with great care.

When tho buttor Ib bubbling hot add tho Hour, and when that Is well mixed add tho cream and a half teaBpoonful of salt. Turnip Fritters. Theso aro as good as parsnip fritters and mako an agree ablo change. Take a small amount of mnshed, seasoned turnip, drop Into a frlttor battor until coated, then fry lu deep fat. There Is no preservative nnd no anti septic, nothing tlmt keeps one's heart yoiuiK llko (sympathy, like Rlvlnpr one's solf with enthusiasm to somn uorthv j thing or cause. John UurroiiKhs.

HIS FIRST YEAR T FARMING IH SASKATCHEWAN Win Premiums and Prizes Competition With tho World. In There aro thousands of young mon filling positions In stores and offices, and In professional occupations throughout tho United States, who In their earlier life, worked on tho farm. Tho allurements of city llfo woro at tractive, until thoy faced tho Btorn jcullty. Theso peoplo would havo dono better had thoy rcmuined on tho farm. Many of them, convinced of this, aro now getting "back to tho lund," and In the expcrlenco, no bet ter place offers nor better opportunity afforded, than that existing In Western Canada. Many of them havo taken advantage of It, nnd thero aro to bo found today, hundreds of such, farm ing In tho Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta Tho con ditions that surround farming opera tions today are so much suporlor to those In existence during their early farming days, that there Is an attrac tion about It. Improved machinery, IpvoI nnd open plains, no rocks to shun, no trees to cut down, but wldo BtrelchoB with mile long furrows, ele vators to handle tho grain, railways to carry It to market, and bring almost to tholr doors tho things necessary to oporuto. Splendid grnzing areas, ex cellent opportunities for rnlslng cattlo. Theso things nrd nil so different from what they onco woro that thoro is rea son to speak of the attractions. It. II.

PROBABLY BET WASN'T PAID Youngster Undoubtedly Had Won It, but There Were Other Circum stances to Consider. It wns tho day after the party. Nine, year-old Itobert came to his mother and said: "Mamma, how many of those nice cut-glass ico cream dishes of yours are there exactly?" "Twenty-four, my son." "Will you bet mo that you havo more than 2.1?" "No, darling. Grandmother Brown gave mo ono dozen and Grandmother Sullivan another dozen. That makes exactly two dozen." "All tho same," persisted young Rob ert, "please bet mo!" "Very well, I'll bet." "Then you've lost. 'Causo I've brok en ono of 'em'" Now York Evening Post.

AXATIV Charming Afternoon taaamgfilfesg AQUIN, who delights In surprising U3 with novel and Intricate gowns, Bomctlmes charms us with the sim plest of creations which still embody tho stamp of Paquin distinction. One of tho latter 1b pictured in tho illus tration here. Tho skirt Is of black charmeuse with a little coateo of black velvet and a bodice of plaited chiffon. Tho skirt Is a marvel of clover ad justment to tho lines of the flguro by means of shaping and tho least possi ble draping. It Is made In ono with tho corsage which Includes tho littlq coat and bodlco effect. A more prac tical development of the toilette would manage to make the coat separate, because it could be removed Indoors or worn as a separate coat with other gowns. Tho coat is trimmed with fashion able skunk fur in a lino silky grade. This fur varies so much In quality that Bomo skins are worth twice as much and more than others. It is used on practically every outside garment which women wear. This gown should bo chosen by those of plump figure who wish to wear velvet. Lik"o other pile fabrics velvet must bo carefully managed and WHITE WITH BLACK CREPE APPARENTLY tho combination of white with blnck cropo has come to stay. In those shops that special ize In this branch of apparel ono seeB a great deal of whlto crepo used in millinery. In tho winter time It ap pears in facings or borders, or in nindo ornaments. It is in facing hats of black crepo that it is best liked. For summer mourning, white crepe Is. used moro extensively. All-white hats, nnd combinations of black and whlto cropo, In which tho latter pre dominates, gives us a now kind of mourning millinery In which It is pos sible to be comfortable nnd to look cool as well. Tho method of draping veils varies with the season and with ideas that enter tho realm of fashion and suc ceed In remaining there. The veil of crepo Is only moderately long now nnd usually draped In a box plait at tho back. It may bo widened , to hang from tho sides of tho shape as ohown In tho Illustration, or narrowed to hang straight down, Tho crepo veil is, In fact, not worn Gown by Paquin is best made up along plain and se vere lines, like those shown in tho model pictured. Thero is not much warmth in an outside garment which leaves tho chest uncovered, nnd therefore simi lar llttlo coats aro shown with wide rovers to turn forward when ono ia outdoors and away from tho cheat in doors. But the lovely Paquin model, which wo aro Btudying, was not de signed so much with reference to its practical side as to Its picturesque and novel appearance Tho clover han dling of tho fastening in front, where ribbon is wrapped about tho fur and wo aro left to wonder how tho wear er gets Into or out of tho gown, is most attractive. The standing and full riff of tullo Is a wonderful touch in tho finishing of the costume. In keeping with it, and not taking tho attention r.t nil, the fur trimmed turban of black velvet with its littro nosegay of gay flowers is Just tho hat for this gown. Tho ensemble leaves nothing to bo desired it Ib simple enough to pleaso tho most quiet tasto and distinctive enough to suit tho most discriminating dresser JULIA BOTTOMLEY. as a veil but as a part of tho com position of hats for first mourning. Small face veils of net, with narrow border of crepe are supplied on tho models that qarry tho long crepe veils. All models in mourning millinery aro made up In tho fashionable shops In either whlto or black, except in cases where tho character of tho design calls for a combination of tho two or for one color alono. The manufacture of crepo has been so perfected that It has become prac tical for peoplo of moderate means. Tho waterproofing processes havo made It among tho mo3t durable of fabrics instead of fragile, as it used to bo. Wo are Indebted to the Eng lish manufacturers for this flno achievement. Crepo used to bo a luxury which only rich peoplo could really afford. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Comforter Slip. Mako your comforter in tho usual way, using white cheesecloth next to tho cotton. Tako your sllkolino or other goods; steam It up In tho usual way, sowing tho edges together to form a slip; now slip It on tho whlto comforter and tie enough to hold it In place. When comforter becomes soiled tako tho Blip off and laundor; hnng tho cotton on tho lino. Beat lightly with tho carpet beater; you will havo a clean comforter without tho usual hard labor of lifting a heavy wet comforter, and your cotton will stay soft and fluffy much longer. Lob An geles Express. New Chiffon Bags. Tho newest thing In bags to carry In tho afternoon and evening is mado of figured chiffon with a brown back ground, flgurejl with yellow roses in an indistinct Tleslgn. This Is mounted over cloth of gold nnd silver stripes and has a sllvor clasp and chain. Another bng Is mado of mauvo nnd green chiffon mounted over silver cloth.
