FIRELESS COOKER RECIPES.
An ideal way of cooking ham is to
let it come to a boil in the kettle, then
put it into the cooker and let it stand
si* hours. If yours is a home-made
cooker you may have to take it out
and reheat once during the time. Then
remove from the water, cut off the
rind, stick a few dozen cloves in it.
and hake an hour in a moderate oven.
If a cup of sweet cider is added to the
water Juat before putting into the
cooker It will add greatly to the
Savor.
Chicken Soup-—Save the water in
which the chicken has been stewed.
The ne*t day crack the bones of the
fowl, add any of the bits of meat left,
a slice of onion and four tablespoon
t ul» of sago. Hring to the boiling point
and place In the cooker three or four
hours. Strain and reheat, adding a
well beaten egg and the seasoning just
before serving
There is no manner of cooking cere
al so perfectly as in a fireless cooker.

USES FOR SOUR CREAM.
Sour cream may lake the place of
sweet cream in many cases, in making '
rr.iad dressings, using less of vinegar
and lemon juice in the salad.
Graham Gems.—Two tablespoonfuls

spoonfu! of sugar; add one cup of
sweet milk, one cupful of sour milk,
oci' cupful of white flour, sifted with
one Teaspoonful of soda, sal! and ba
ng powder. Add a well-beaten egg.
Bake in hot gem pans.

flour with one teaspoonful each of
■uda. salt and baking powder sifted
several times; thea add two large ta
blespoonfuls of thick sour cream and
milk enough to roll out very soft Mix
lightly and hike in a hot oven.
Horseradish Sauce.—This sauce is
usually made using the sweet cream,
but the sour cream, a half cup beaten
with a little salt and sugar, added to
half a cup of freshly grated horserad
ish makes a sauce equally as good.
Hermita.—Take a cupful of thick
sour cream, two cupfuls of brown
sugar, one cupful af chopped raisins,
two-thirds of a cup of butter, two
beaten eggs, one teaspoonful each of
soda, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
Add Cour enough to make as stiff as
can be stirred then drop by teaspoon
fuls on a well-buttered pan. Bake in
a medium oven.

recipe, but one that is highly satisfac
tory. Take a cup of sour cream, one
cup of sugar, a cup of grated carrot,
the yolks of two eggs. salt, cinnamon

crust and cover with a meringue,
using the whites of the eggs and four

Millions for Talk.
The annual report of the Bell tele
phone system. which haa just been
issued. and come supplementary infor
mation. reveals the fact that there are
now something over eight million tel
ephones in use in the United States.
The strictly Bell telephones are 4.030,
C68. and with connections with other
companies—some of them partially or
even wholly owned by the Bell—the
total connected service is 5.882.719.
The Bell has 11.642.212 miles of wire
in use. The total revenue collected in
sils away without thoroughly drying
them.
Don't leave the table linen with its
stains to go into the tubs.
Don't throw away paper bags and
wrapping paper; they are often very
useful.
Don’t use silver knives and spoons
in the kitchen.
Don’t let soap lie In dish water or
the scrub pail to waste.
Don't use dish towels for pot hold
ers or napkins for dishtowels.
Don't cut more bread or cake than

It Is the little leaks which sink a
great ship.
Uses for Sand Paper.
When the pans and tins become
rough, use a little sandpaper to
smooth them.
Sometimes the handle of a broom !
is rough; a few strokes of sandpaper
will remedy the difficulty.
Use sandpaper to scrape a burned
kettle and save fingers and utensil.
Sandpaper is a good polisher for
trons.
Keep a piece near the gas stove tc
strike- matches on.

FOR THE FIRST PICNIC.
Why not be the first to entertain at
* picnic and relieve yourself from
some of those social debts that have
been hanging over you? The picnic
Is an ideal way of pleasing one's
friends. It may be a porch party, a
iawn fete, a garden party or just a
picnic, according to the environment,
means and desire of the hostess.
The entertainment may be deter
mined by the taste of the people in
vited.
A delightful morning or afternoon
may be spent by asking the guests tc
bring their fancy work or sewing,
while one of the number reads aloud.
The reading may be followed by dis
cusslon. For those who like contests
those treating of flowers, birds oi :
fruits are appropriate.
For refreshments, the punch bow ;
may dispense refreshment during the j
afternoon. and later sandwiches :
salads, cakes, ices and coffees are .
served.
Sponge Cake.—Try this deliciout i
cake, to serve with ice cream anc
crushed strawberries: To seven eggs
take half a pound of flour and three
quarters of a pound of sugar, the juice
and rind of a lemon. Pour over the
sugar a half cup of boiling water and
let it boil. Beat the whites and the
yolks together, beating the whole until
it is thick and light. Stir in the flout
lightly, add a dash of salt and the
lemon last of all. Bake in a slow
oven. If properly made this cake wll!
be wonderfully light and delicate.
Pimiento Cheese.—The cream cheese
which we buy in the markets put up
in jars Is so well liked for sandwich
fillings, and may be prepared at home
Take rich cheese grated, and add an
equal quantity of cream cheese: mois
ten with the liquor which comes ovet
the canned red peppers, season with
salt and cayenne and then add as
much of the chopped red pepper as
one’s taste demands.
This cheese is very pretty made Intc
individual balls, decorated with a slice
of stuffed olives.
Says Exercise Is Harmful.
“Office workers should not take ex
ercise after their day's work," said
Dr. E. A. Walker of Boston, who is at
the Arlington. “The root reason is
that though headwork is not exercise
in the sense that it develops the body,
it most decidedly is exercise in that it
induces fag and physical lassitude.
So It 1b almost pathetic for a man to
expect any good to come from taking
more exercise when the exercise in
volved in the day’s work has already
tired him out.
“One takes It that young people
have had sufficient outdoor exercise
reasonably to develop their frames be
fore beginning office work. So when
once they have strxted in the office
in earnest, it is much better for them
to realise at once that their days of
hard physical strain are over and that
henceforth they must confine these ef
forts to week ends and holidays.
“The body and system easily attune
themselves to circumstances, even to
over-civilized and consequently rath
er unnatural circumstances, and in
door headworkers will soon find that
a good state of health can be main
tained with little or no exercise.”—

The Hague is by far the most inter- j
esting and up to date city in Holland.
It seems almost like a cosmopolitan
center. Many languages are spoken
and the people are very gay- The ■
people of The Hague try their best to
imitate the French, both in dress ]
and customs, even speaking French
in their home circles.
In the streetts everything is hustle 1
and bustle, and they are crowded with
Haguers, wagons and milk carts.
We stopped at the Central hotel, and
in all Europe I never saw such a
place. If you ever get dopie and sad
and need excitement, go to the Cen
tral hotel at The Hague. It is a little
hotel with a semi
circle beer gar
den In front,,
which you have
to pass through
to get into ’.he ho

night are assem

on one side that wave back and forth
when I walk. I always thought the
hat rather nifty, and so did the pat- ;
rons of this beer garden. Every time
I passed through the garden I caused
a great sensation. The men tried to
be polite and stifle their giggles, but
one day a real fat one lost control of
himself as I was passing, and almost
choked over a mouthful of beer. I
turned around an gave him a grin like
a Cheshire cat.
But the wonderful excellence of the
Central hotel does not lie in its beer
garden, but in the dining room beyond,
for in this room is served the most de
licious food cooked on earth.
We arrived at this place late on Sat
urday night, and I decided to go to bed
at once. We could not sleep for the
clatter of the cafe below, which kept
up until 3 a. m. Hardly had this
noise died down until other sounds
commenced.
There was the shout of the milk boy
and the unmusical sound of scrubbing.
1 looked out of the window. Day was
just beginning to break. In the street
below were milk boys with dogs hitch
ed to their carts, filled with glistening
milk cans. The scrubbing was being
done by the women of the house op
posite. They were polishing the win
dows, the sills, the steps, the pave
ment, and even the street in honor of
the Sabbath.
I saw the reason for all this cleanly
showing when the people commenced
to go to church, for they all passed
down this street.
This parade to church meant The
Hague in all its glory. There were
the people from the villages In their
voluminous shirts and wooden shoes;
there were the hardy looking middle
class dressed in
a unique style, be
tween the Holland
and the French;
there were the
young girls ar
rayed In white,
and last of all
were the snobs.
The elegant la
dies wore hobble

The favored kind was rough and prick

me hot just to look at it. Of those
sticky, graphic dresses!
Whenever you wish to go anywhere
in The Hague, you must go to the
Plein first. It is the square from
whence lead all roads. Even when a
Haguer dies the funeral starts from
the Plein.
Around the corner from the Plein
—is the famous “Prisoners' Gate"
through which you must pass to the
Mauritius, the art gallery that con
tains many wonderful paintings,
among them many Rembrandts. Far
ther on Is the royal palace. It is a
low white buila
ing and not the
least imposing. It
looks like an old
time, worn out
p u b lie building.
Laiy guards stand

land people, but

princess, is wor- Gate,
shiped. They say Wilhelmina has the
true Holland thrift, and is a wee bit
close about money matters.
On one of the principal squares is
the American conculate. Look at the
picture. Did you ever see such a
queer little dinky building to repre
sent such a big nation as ours? How
ever, the younger members of the
legation make up for the lack of a
beautiful building—at least so think
the Holland girls and tourists. Every
tourist to The Hague visits the "House
in the Woods." It is a beautiful villa
surrounded by trees and flowers.
Here in 1S99 was held the interna
tional peace commission. Twenty

visitors to this
place will be glad when the harem

The whole place is very much like
Atlantic City, for there are post card
stands, candy booths, fake shows and ,
even the ever interesting fortune
tellers.
However, Scheviningen has one fea
ture that Atlantic City lacks, and that
is, the hundreds of wicker chairs
standing on the beach. These chairs
have a round top to them that forms
a fine protection from the sun and
wind.
Beside ail this array of fashion and
worldliness is posted on the sand
dunes the quaint little fishing village oi

It is but a short journey from The
Hague to Delft. The stretch of land
between these two places Is very typ
ical of Holland. Wind-mills are scat
tered along—great strong windmills
that look capable of any amount of
work. The flat, well kept roads are
bordered by trees. They are fine
roads for bicycles. The canals are
very much used In Holland. On our
way from The Hague to Delft we pass
ed man.' a towboat loaded with hay
and grain, towed by a slow old nag,
poked up by a fair haired Dutch lad.
Lazy Holland cows dotted the land
scape. They are supposed to give the
finest milk on earth.
Of course, the first thing one ex
pects to find in Delft are little blue
teacups and little white plates deco
rated with little blue windmills. And
the funny part is, they are the first
things to be seen arranged in the
store windows and even in the win
dows of some of the homes.
The streets of Delft are nearly all
canals with side paths along each
edge, and little arching bridges at
every crossing.
The principal sight in Delft is the
Church of St. Ursula. It stands at one
end of a long, open cobble-stoned
square. On the
outside of the
church and print
ed in different
1 a n g u ages are ■
elaborate direc- ]
tions of how to '
gain admittance

NO REST FOR THE DOCTOR
Man of Medicine Must Always Be In
Readiness for Alleviation of
Suffering.
“Take a day off.” said a friend of
the doctor, seeing that the man of
medicine looked fagged.
'What is the good?" was the reply.
“Whenever I go oft on a holiday some
one is sure to be taken ill and call
upon me for medical advice. I can’t
get away from my profession.”
“Well," suggested the friend, “you
profit financially, that's some consola
tion."
“That’s the way it strikes you."
grunted the doctor, and continued:
“The summer before last I thought I’d
go away for a few days with my wife
to a camp I know of in the mountains.
The morning we left town I got my
self up to look as non-professional as
possible, and we set out full of hope
and as Jolly as two schoolchildren.
The express train on which we trav
eled had not much more than pulled
out of the station when I saw a por
ter enter our car and come running
post haste down the aisle. When he
got alongside of me he stopped and
said:
•* 'Dar's a lady dyin‘ in de nex' cyar.
sah! I see you is a doctor. Will you
please come right along, sah?"
"In the face of such an appeal what

“ 'It's your horrid goatee. Albert.'
my wife whispered, as I rose and fol
lowed the porter.
"The sick woman was in very bad
shape, and It was two hours before I
dared to leave her. As I bade her
goodbv she almost wept with grati
tude—said she could never repay my
kindness, etc., and asked what my fee
was. I told her that there was no
fee. but she insisted that there must
be. so I named a small sum. Pulling
a visiting card out of her satchel she
requested that I would send my bill
to her in New York. I agreed to do
so and went back to my wife just as
the train drew into our station."
"Have you seen your patient since?"
asked the doctor's friend.
“I often see her riding in her auto
mobile."
“But did you send your bill?” the
friend persisted.
"Eh—oh, yes. I've been sending it
regularly every month for the last
year."

Built the First Pavement
t
Cordova. In Spain. Wat First City to
Improve Its Roads—Streets of Lon
don Not Paved In 11th Century.
The oldest pavement of which
there is any record in modern cities
la that of Cordova. Spain, which was
paved with stones by (he Moors in the
middle of the ninth oentury. The
Moors caused water to be conveyed
to the city in lead pipes.
Parts was the next city to pave its
streets; but this civic betterment did
not take pace until the year 11S4. on
which occasion, says Rlgard. the his
torian of Philip H.. "the name of the
city was changed from Lutetla which
it had been previously called on ac
count of Its filthiness.” Those old
streets must have been very bad in
deed. as It was the general practice of
the citisens to keep swine, which
roamed at large and wallowed In the
mire of the public way.
The streets of London were unpaved
In tbe eleventh century; and it Is un
certain Just when the work did be
gin. Holland was not paved until
1417, though it was frequently Impas
sable from the depth of Its mud.
During the reign of Henry VIII. many
of the streets were "very foul and full
of pits and sloughs very perilous and
noxious, as well for all the king’s sub
jects on horseback as on foot, and
with carriage.” Smithfield was with
out pavement until 1614.
The now beautiful Berlin allowed
its streets to go without even a clear
ing or cleaning until the middle of
the seventeenth century; and until
1681 It was a popular practice to place
pig pens Immediately beneath the
front windows of the houses. Every
kind of filth and dirt was thrown into
the streets of Warsaw up to the com
paratively recent year of 1823.
