Tho nelleviiiK 'nan la tlm original man, ho be lieves for himself, not for another. Carlyle. '" " ' GOOD, HOMELY, MEAT DISHES. Uuy a plcco of round from the un der half, no It 1b a bit cheaper and not no tender. For two pounds of the steak chopped fine, add a teaspoon and a half of salt, a quarter of a tea spoon of pepper, one small onion chopped; mix well and niako Into flat cakes. Placo on a woven wire broil er and cook over red coalB, turning every eight counts until well Beared over. Then cook more slowly until sufficiently cooked for tho family taste. Scotch Stew. Take four pounds of mutton from the fore quarter, one onion, one turnip, one carrot, one-halt cup of barley, two stalks of celery, ono tablespoonful of flour, salt and pepper to taste. Soak tho barley over night, cut tho meat Into small pieces, put Into a kettle with tho barley, add two cupfuls of boiling water, reduce tho heat and simmer until the meat Is tender. Chop tho vegetables, and cook five minutes In a Httlo fat; add to tho meat and cook until tender. Stuffed Heart Baked.

Then add boiling water to bare ly cover, llring to the boiling point and simmer at very low temperaturo until tho heart Is tender. Remove tho heart, and when cool enough fill with the stuffing.

Tho man whoso Tungsten light sensi tiveness causes him to break at tho slight est Jar Is not (joint; to flood the world with radiance of his success. MAPLE SUGAR DAINTIES. Tho season will soon be upon us when wo can look for maplo sugar in nil its tempting forms. The tender waffle hearts aro set upon la either crisp or soggy, and anon Like maple sirup made of corn and cobs twists but a scant five minutes and Is gone. Myrtle rtced. There Is nothing In tho sirup lino which takes tho placo of tho real ma ple sirup; but, alas, It Is bo often adulterated that even tho sugar itself cannot be trusted. Our pure food laws are striving valiantly to produce tho proper label, and now when wo eat corn cobs and molasses wo at leaBt ire treated honestly If wo know enough to read the label. If 6ne has never visited a sugar camp whon it is In ope'ration, there is surely a new sensation coming. There aro numerous sugar camps all over tho country, and when ono thinks of tho "sweot" hospitality of these camp ers when dally 15 or 20 Interested night-seers drive In to eat warm sirup, it Is still a constant wonder that there Is enough to put upon tho markot. Maple Filling for Cake. Put Into a sauco pan a cup of cream and two cups of broken maplo sugar. Heat slowly until the sugar is dissolved, then boll until It hardens In water. Take at once from tho lire and stir and spread on tho cake. Maple Nougat. Uoll two cupfuls of maplo sugar and a half cup of cream and a tablespoonful of butter until waxen when dropped In cold water, then add a cup of chopped nuts, und pour, while hot, over plain Ice cream. This Is the most delicious of sauces for creams. A very dainty biscuit may bo mado by preparing a baking powdor bis cuit dough, roll out and spread with butter, maplo sugar and chopped nuts, noil up and cut like cinnamon rolls. Hake in hot oven. These may bo served as dessert with a hot sauce. Concrete Houses. Limitations imposed by cost, which In most cases prohibit tho attainment of oven ordinary architectural attrac tiveness, have restricted the uso of concrete In houses of .uvorngo size. For flieproof dwellings on a more pre tentious scale reinforced concroto is gradually taking a prominent place. At tho othor extromo, for working men's houses, It has been found pos sible to cast groups of small houses, all alike and very plain, that aro sat isfactory from the standpoint of uso If you want a tiling will It, don't mere ly wish It. The Chinese say "groat souls have wills, focbl oius have only wIsIikm." DISHES FOR AFTERNOON RECEP TIONS. When planning any entertulnmeht In which tho food Is a chief feoturc, the appearance as woll as tho tempt ing flavor Is equally Important. Layer Sandwiches. Have loaves of graham or whole wheat and white bread two days old. Trim off tho crust and save for the countless dishes which cull for broad crumbs. Cut a slice and spread the end of the loaf with softened butter; cut In wnfer-ltko slices until all 1b prepared. Havo toady somo chopped and seasoned ham and a few finely chopped nuts or any two kinds of Ailing desln'd, but bo sure that they harmonize. On a slice of tho buttered brown bread put a layer of one filling and a layer of the other on tho white bread, alter nating with the white and brown un til a half dozen slices nro placed to gether. Press, to make Arm, and cut In slices like layer cake, to serve. Roasted Almond Sandwiches. Pre pare the almonds at homo by blanch ing that Is, boiling In water two min utes then drop in cold water and re move the brown skins. Dry well and cook until brown in a little olive oil; salt well and chop line. Mix with either mayonnaise dressing or whipped cream, seasoned with pap rika. Spread on wafer-like slices of white bread which has been buttered. Maple sugar grated and mixed with cream and chopped almonds makes another delicious filling for sand; wlches. Small Charlottes. For these take three-quarters of a package of gela tine, ono cup of powdered sugar, two quarts and a half of thick cream, two tablespoonfuls of vanilla, one-third of a cup of orange juice and threo dozen lady lingers. Split the lady fingers and cut each piece In lengths to lit around tho sides of paper cases or molds. Put a piece In tho bottom of each mold. Have ready chopped nuts and candled cherries or fresh straw berries for garnishing. Soak tho gel atine in cold water and whip the cream; add the sugar to the cream, strain In tho dissolved gelatine and stir until it begins to thicken, then add vanilla and orange juice. When very thick, fill cases. , llcforo serving, sprinkle with chopped pistachio nuts and garnish with cherries or strawberries. Theso forms will hold their shape when turned out on the serving plato, and will serve 25 people. The man who spends nil of his tluiH grumbling. Is a s-lf-confessed failure.

WAYS OF SERVING COD. r Codfish, when It is fresh, is a flsh not to be despised, and if it were less common, which It Is In a fair way to be, It would bo held in as high esteem as salmon. Tho salt variety takes the place fairly well of many varie ties of higher priced flsh. If tho fresh flsh is obtainable, take a small one and add with threo quarts of boiling water, a tablespoonful of salt, a table spoonful of vinegar, a small carrot and onion chopped fine, a few sprigs of parsley and a bay leaf or two. Let the flsh come to tho boiling point, then simmer gently so that the water Just moves, for 30 minutes. Lift out, tako off tho skin, placo on u hot plat ter, and surround with tho vegetables and sauco prepared from tho broth of the flsh. Garnish with sprigs of pars ley and quarters of lemon and serve. Fresh Cod Chowder. Put three slices of fat salt pork into a kettle and try out until brown. Havo two pounds or less of cod cut in square pieces. Remove tho pork scraps und put in alternato layers of potatoes, flsh and onions, using two onions to halt a dozen sliced potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, cover with wa ter and cook until the vegetables are tender. Add a. quart of fresh milk, a tablespoonful or two of butter, a half dozen milk crackers whloh have been scalded In boiling water, and servo at once. Such a dish Is hard to beat for a cold, raw night. Codfish, Cuban Style. Pick In pieces a cup of freshened salt cod. Fry nn onion thin in a tablespoonful of butter, add tho flsh with boiling water to cover Then add half a can of tomatoes; season with a gieen popper chopped, and simmer gently for an hour. If there is much juice In tho tomato less water need be add ed. Turn ho mixture on squares of buttered toast and servo very hot. and are low In (I rut cost and In up keep.

Tho Ulsterman Is not Incapable of a bull, says the British Weokly. It was an Ulster marquis who endeared himself to his tenantry by the momor ablo bull uttered In his speech at an agricultural dinner: "I wish my farm ers would uso Iron plows, becauBo thoy last forever, and will afterwards sell as old iron." It was an Ulsterman who at a funeral observed tho awkward work of an unaccustomed hand, and ex claimed as ho seized a shovel: "1 wasn't seven years courting a sex ton's daughter without learning to sod a grave." No matter how largo tho bride's for tune, tho Ulsterman generally grum bled over tho marrlago fee. "Wouldn't half a crown tlmpt yo?" asked a bridegroom of tho ofllclatlng minister whon tho clerk demanded tho usual fivo shillings. An Economical Man. "Wo can't finish Europe.
