pumpkin sung by Whlttfar, this waa the
way that grandmother prepared her I

yellow pumpkin, take out the seeds, rinse
th pumpkin and cut Into small strips,
lew thorn over a moderate fire In Just suf
fjeleot water to. prevent . their burning to
the bottom of the pan. When stewed soft
turn off the water end let the pumpkin
team over a alow fire for fifteen or twenty
mlnutea, taking care that It doe not burn.
Take It from the fir and strain when, cool
through a sieve. If you wish to have the

pumpkin tt quarts , of milk and twelve
eggs. If 'yrttt Ilka them plain, put to a

and eggs rhould be beaten together, din
ger, th grated rind of a lemon or nutmeg
Is good epic for the pie. Pumpkin pie
require a hot oven. The rlsn of the plea la
apt to get burned before the inside Is
baked sufficiently. On this account It Is a
good plan to heat the pumpkin scalding
hot when prepared for pies, before turning
It Into the pt plates.
The pie should be baked as soon as the
crust are filled or th under rruwt will b
clammy. The greater the number of eggs
In the pie th les time will be required to
bake them.
Mince P'es Do not try to make your
mlnnemeaot In ona day. Cook your mat
th day before, get th raisins needed (un
lesa you buy seeded ones, which ar a tre
mendous avlng of labor), clean and dry
your currants, shred the citron and can
dled orange and lemon peel, measure out
the spices and chop th suet. Then It is
an easy matter the next morning to mince
the meat, peel and cbop the apple and
put th various Ingredients together. In
a cold cellar rich mincemeat will keep all
winter without cooking; but In the modern
cellar, kpt hot with a furnace, it is a
little safer to scald through befor packing
away In jars. Any sweet pickle vinegar of
fruit Juices left over from canning or pre
serving add much to th mincemeat; while I
fruit that has begun to ferment (if It la
not mouldy! may be used to advantage.
Currant or grape Jelly makes a delicious
addition to mincemeat. The apple used,
should be tart. We'll flavored greenings.
spicy gpltsenberga or Baldwins are usually
chosen, though aome old fashioned house
wives think there is nothing to equal rus
sets.
Th meat used Is beef, usually the lower
part of the round, simmered gently until
tender and th stock In which It la cooked
reduced to a Jeliyllk conaUtency. Bet
away over night to cool In tha stock and
take off tha fat in th morning. Th suet
for pie should' hav all the bits of stringy
fibre removed, then sprinkled with flour
and chopped fine. One-third butter and
two-third auet gives a better flavor than
suet, alone. Tha apices should be of th
purent.
Many good cooka boil the ralslna that
they us In plea, adding tha water in which
they are cooked to the mine meat. Boiled
down older la a delightful addition to mince
meat, but may be omitted If preferred, sub
stituting the fruit juices or aweet pickle
vinegar.

It eent fairly evident that th fur

At all events, efforts will be made to rear

will be no Ioms, Inasmuch as the un

"ft Is interesting to consider the .fact
that tha skins of fur seals In 1X37 fetched
from 2 to $3 each. They were worth not
very much more In MV7. In 1890 they sud
denly Jumped from 117 to T0. Then In 197,
they fell to 1S.S0. From this point they
gradually rose, until In 1900 they brought
an average of $40 apiece. The prlo of seal
skins, however, Is an artificial one, mad
by the large fur dvalers."

mentioning my Intimacy .with on of the
queen of Europe. She took the gather
away, and I felt that I waa entitled to a
good deal of self-congratulation, because
to assure her that a queen was an old and
valued friend of mine was not an easy
thing to accomplish. Thcs uhject had to
be handled with a certuln lightness and
surety of touch. A great deal of technique
was absolutely necessary. But th dress
was exactly as I wantted when It was fin

Tom called for me at 7:30 o'clock and

Some Odd Facts Concerning Tobacco
ji-iii,
nr l Nl
All nation us tobacco extensively in
aom form. In China It la cultivated
everywhere, but usually on a email scale,
most families raising It for their own
use In their private gardens. The Arabs at
Cairo amok la their chibouks the beat
brands, whloh they perfume with rose-
water and with amber-scented pastilles.
Th Indiana have always looked upon
tobacco aa a gift from the Great Spirit
for their especial enjoyment. And, as la
wall known, no treaty la ever rationed
without amoklng- th calumet, or pip of
peac. Hindoos mix wltb their tobacco
sugar, nutmegs and bananas. Hottentots
barter their wives for th waed. Th
PaUgOnlan lights bis pipe, throws him
self face down on the ground and sw-allowa
quickly several mouthful of smoke, which
act produces a delightful Intoxication
lasting for several minutes. In I"araguay
the native men amok, but th women pre
fer to chew. Greenlandera smoke for no
other purpose than afterward to enjoy
drinking the acrid and poisonoua Juice
that accumulate In their pipe.
Tim was when tobacco was considered
a sovereign cur-all. 8tped In rum and
then drunk It would outquack the quack
leet remedy of our time. We hav been
told that Hoblnson Crusoe, when HI, took
a dose of the stuff with excellent effect
Smoked, tt waa said to prevent Infection;
and when th great plagu raged In I .on-
don the men who drove the dead wagon
kept their pipes continually allg-ht. So
much. Indeed, did It become a popular
cur of the day that th schoolboy at
Eton were flogged If they did not smoke
tn the school every morning. Even very
small children in England, In th seven
teenth century, carried to school with their
book pipes which their fond mothers
were careful to fill every day. Than, at
a certain time during sohool hours, th
master would bid the youngsters put aside
threlr books, and he and they would en
joy a "smoker," tha master teaching th
pupils how to pull properly on their pipes.
A a matter of fact, tobacco did at least
one save a man's life. Home KIJ1 Island
er had captured a number of white men,
whom they proceeded to roast and to eat.
But one they would not touch; because, as
on Fijian aftarward put It In telling
the story, "he smelt too much Uke to
baTT: couldn't eat him nohow."
The familiar story of Italelgh'a aervant
throwing water over him as ha aat smok
ing, th servant thinking that hi lord
ship was afire, la not quite correct. tlr
Walter was drenched with beer.
Tobacco from Braxll la th most com
bustible, but th tobacco, though growing
larga, handsome leaves, has little sub
stance. Th United States leada all other
countries In tobacco production, of which
It exports at least one-half. New York

To Keep Hands Smooth in Winter
Use Grease and Wear Gloves
She Are you superstitious?
He No; .till I consider it bad
luck to be run over by a trolley carl
smooth and I hue in cold weather, I think,
unless kid or leather glove ar worn. Any
Other material, such a wool, however,
warm, I so poroua that aufflciont air
passes through to cauae chapping, and a
person who has chlllblains will suffer ag
onies when wearing knitted glove or mit
tens. By leather gloves I mean skin of any
kind. This includes chamois, sued, kid,
as well a dog skin. While each varies
In weight, and the latter la certainly tha
warmest, all possess th quality of being
only slightly porous, and so prevents th
wind from sifting through. This protecUon
will lnsur smoothness of th fleah, though
it doe not warm th hands, but th lat
ter i easily provided by using a muff or
wearing heavy knitted glove over th
k!d.
Undoubtedly th Ideal hand covering
for children who play in th cold and
snow, and for parson who are much out
of doors in winter, la kid or dog skin
gloves with woolen mittens aa covering.
Thl combination Is not bulky , for ordi
nary occasions, snd when it is necessary
to us the fingers the outer glove can be
easily slipped off, leaving tb hands pro
tected from cold by th kid which remains

i-lcece lined kid mittens, I think, pio
mot perspiration of the hands, and In
thla way render Uiem aensiuv to me air
th Instant the mlttn ar removed. They
ar not practical for children, as the
leather stiffens wbvu wet.
All glove worn lo tb winter should be
large enough to admit of fre circulation
Of th blood, other lb tb hand will
be oold, rod and coarse la texture. 1 know
on woman who. In aplta of th faot that
h doe all her own housework and a great
deal of flu washing, such aa handkerchiefs
iind Ues. has white, amooth hands.
Tbtlr condition la due, ah tl.lnks, aud
so do I, to th fact that aa soon aa sli
haa uaed laundry aoap, ah oila her fln
gera and the backs of her handa w'.tli
aweet almond oil., Then aha washes this
grease with warm water and toilet aoap.
Always when going out of doom, aven for
a moment, she diawa on a pair of dog akin
glovea that hav almond oil on th Insld.
Th liquid does not soak through th
skin and while she wear these glove her
hand ar bring whitened and nourished
and any effect of cold or th excessive use
of water 1 overcome. Kor auch us as go

Kor street wear she uxca the sis which

Shaggy glovea of Angora ar smart and

Life's Joaraey.
W do not half enjoy th day
Because the iillit Is ii.iiilim.
W only Juht begin to sleep
When lol again 'tis morning'
W hustle down our city streets,
W hurry In our pluaaures,
And why, good Lord, we do not know .
time Time steals all our treasures.
And, as this thief has winged feet.
Vain, vain U our pursuing;
Eternity Is long enough
To prove th rogue undoing.
Now, since Eternity Is ours,
lt's take our time In living,
With aye to see. walk thro' a v. or id
Mad fair by God a good giving.
With eara to hear Hla angels sing.
A her winds blow soft and sighing .
Let s learn th sacred things of Life,
And ioa our fear of ding.
For. sure a 4 you and I ar here.
And gon away tomoiroM.

And Hast our greatest nrrow.
