Ancient Artisans In Africa.
Tho question has often been naked:
Was thero any earlier raco In occupa
tion of tho area In Africa at present
held by tho Hantus? In Man W. II.
Beech reports that In tho Klkuyu coun
try somo ancient pottery has been said
to bo tho work of a peoplo called Gum-
ba, who displaced tho Miathoachlana,
cannibal dwarfs.
Theso Miathoachlana are now be
lieved to bo earth-gnomes, skilled in
tho art of Iron working. Mr. Beech,
with somo amount of plausibility, sug
gestB that they were possibly bush
men, pygmies, or both, and that thoy
wero a local Indigenous raco of tho
stono ago who used flint implements
often found In tho Klkuyu country.
Tho Gumba are said to havo mado
pottery and to have taught tho Klkuyu
tho art of smelting. They may havo
been pro-Bantau Hamite invaders; but
of this thero is no evldenco and tho
legend may tend to show that tho
first discovery of Iron was mado In
Africa.

SUMMER BREAKFASTS.
Except for thoso who are working
at hard labor a simple breakfast of
fruit, corcal, an egg
and toast or a bit of
bacon and a cup of cof
feo Is a sufficient and
satisfying meal. A nice
wny to treat a cercnl
that Is cooked and will
bo served cold Is to put
It, while cold, through
tho potato rlcer. When wanted, It is
then in an attractive form to servo.
Corn Toast. Cut Btalo bread in
slices and toast. Cook three table
spoonfuls of butter with one table
Bpoonful of llnoly chopped onion three
minutes, stirring constantly. Add two
tablesiwonfuls of flour and stir until
well blended, then pour on gradually,
while stirring, two cupfuls of thin
cream. Bring to the boiling point und
add two cupfuls of canned corn,
drained, three-fourths of a tcaspoonful
of salt, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of
paprika, and one egg, slightly beaten.
Again heat to the boiling point, nnd
simmer two minutes. Arrange on tho
toast which has been buttered and
placed on a hot platter. Pour over the
corn mixture and servo hot.
Creamed Salt Codfish. Thero is
no more wholesome dish for any meal
thnn creamed fish. Pick the fish In
small pieces; there should be three
fourths of a cupful. Cover with luke
warm water and soak. Drain, put Into
a saucepan, add 2 tablespoonfuls of
butter, stirring until the butter Is
melted and mixed with the llsli.
Sprinkle with two tablespoonfuls of
flour and stir until mixed; then pour
on gradually, while stirring, ono cup
ful of scalded milk. Brlug to tho
boiling point and let boil for two min
utes. Add ono egg, slightly beaten,
just before sending to the table.
Southern Eggs. Butter small rame
kin dishes and halt All with hot boiled
rice. Slip a raw egg in each, season
with salt, popper, butter, grated cheese
and a little chopped boiled ham. Pour
in hot water to surround the dishes,
cover and bako until tho eggs are set.
Sauted Tripe. Wlpo fresh honey
comb tripe, cut In pieces for serving,
and parboil ten minutes, using equal
parts of milk and water to cover tripe.
Drain, season and roll in flour. Snutc
In butter.
NEW WAYS WITH OLD FOODS.
A most delicious ice cream may be
made with a cup of grape Juice, two
tablespoonfuls of lemon
juice, a pint of thin
cream and sugar to
s w o o t e n , depending
upon tho sweetness of
tho grapo juice. Freeze
as usual. Tho beautiful
watermelon pink is not
tho least of the attrac
tinns of this frozen dish.
Sponge Pudding. This is not new,
but so good that it bears repeating
yery often. Stir a third of a dupful of
flour Into a cupful of -milk; when
smooth set into boiling water and
cook. When cool add a half-tablespoon
ful of melted butter aud tho yolks of
three eggs, well beaten, with a fourth
of a cupful of sugar. Cut and fold In
tho whites of the eggs, beaten stiff.
and flavor to taste. Pour Into a well
buttered pan, set In water to make
twenty minutes or until firm. Serve
Immediately with sauce prepared as
follows: Cream an eighth of a cupful
of butter, add a cupful of powdered
sugar gradually.
Braised Beef. Cut two thin slices
of fat salt pork in pieces, try out aud
remove tho scraps. Take three pounds
at beef cut from tho lower part of tho
round, or a chuck may be used. Wipe
with a damp cloth, sprinkle witli salt
ind pepper, dredge with, flour and
brown tho surface In tho pork fat
Place on a trivet in a deep baking
dish and surround with half a tea
spoonful of peppercorns, one-fourth
of a cupful each of turnip, onion, car
rot and celery cut in bits and three
supfuls of boiling water. Cover
closely and bako four hours, basting
jvery half-hour and turning tho meat
jnco during tho cooking. Servo with a
sauce mado from tho gravy In the pan
trained and thickened with butter
ind flour.
A pretty way to servo any gelatin
jalad Is to mold it In a ring mold and
turn out on u bed of lettuce, filling tho
center with tho creamy, thick dressing
which will be served with the salud
an a lettuce leaf.

LITTLE ECONOMIES.
If in tho serving of meats one Is
careful to glvo no moro thnn tho per-
con habitually eats, tho
wasto from tho tnblo will
bo little. It la far better
to serve a small holplng
and glvo n second ono
than that good food
should be wusted. It is
usually In tho minor
economies which nro
often beneath tho notice
where the wise Iiouro-
wlfo keeps within her expenses. Ono
housekeeper who has tried tho mothod
of co-operation with hor cook In hold
ing to a cortnln yearly tnblo expense
has paid her $10 extru yearly, and
finds they havo oven better food, for
tho cook takes a personal Interest In
both having attractive food and keep
ing within her limit. ThlB Is a method
worthy of trial by other progressive
women, nnd, by the wny, It koeps the
cook at least a year to try out tho
mothod.
Ox-Jolnts With Vegetables. Two
ox-jolnts havo enough meat on them
to furnish flavor to qulto a dlHh of
vegetables. Cut two ox-tnlls In pieces
at the joints, put into a saucepan,
cover with water and boll llvo mln
utes, drain nnd sauto In butter, to
which a sliced onion has been added.
When well Beared and browned add a
half cupful each of carrots, turnips,
celery, beans or peas, cover with boil
ing water and simmer until tho vege
tables aro soft. Season well with salt,
pepper and add a little parsley. Servo
with a brown gravy poured over the ox
talis and vegetables.
Hamburg Steak With Cabbage.
Take Arm outside leaves of cabbago,
wash nnd drain. Proparo tho steak by
seasoning with salt, pepper, a pinch ol
ground cloves, nutmeg and a little
onion juice. Uso half pork sausago In
tho meat combination. Form balls and
cook In a llttlo hot fat until well
browned over, then wrap each cake In
a cabbage leaf, skowor with tooth
picks nnd place in tho frying pan, add
lng a lltilo boiling water, cover closely
and simmer for a half hour, or until
tho cabbago la tender. Serve with a
gravy poured around tho cakes. To-
mato sauco Is very good as an accom
panlraent to this dish.
SOME WAYS WITH DATES.
Dates are considered in most home?
as an occasional dainty, as wo con
sider confectionery, yet
ten cents a pound dates
aro a cheap energy-producing
food, ono which
gives six times the re
turns per pound as good
beofstcak. In many coun
tries dates, ilgs and black
bread arp tho only foods
eaten, yet the people aro
strong, sturdy and able
to endure much hardship. Another
advantage of tho dates over meat Is
thai thoy keep Bplcndldly, If kept from
Insects. Thero nro ninny tempting
ways of serving dates, tho manner
most common of stuffing thorn with
various things like nuts, fondant,
cheese, Is commendable, but thero uro
moro and better wnys of serving thoni
to our families.
Delicious Sandwich Filling. Tuko
two cupfuls of date paste, which Is
dates put through a moat chopper, and
a cup of peanut butter, rubbed BtnooUi.
Mnkes a most appetizing filling for
sandwiches.
Dates with various cooked cereals
nro always liked, and aro especially
good for growing children. Glvo them
such fruits as flgB, dates and prunes
and thoy will not caro to make caudy
orgies which will leave them 111 for
days.
Another good combination for dato
filling for sandwiches Is this: Two
oupfulB of dntes, a half cupful of lemon
juice, n half cupful of peanut butter
and a dash of Bait. Grind through tho
meat chopper and mix well. Keep
In Jelly glasseB, cover with paraffin

Dates In buked custard, dateB In
tapioca and dntes as filling for cook

somo of tho delicious dishes which
may bo prepared at home. Dates,
upplcs, celery and nuts make good
