VEGETARIAN COOKERY.



gome Hints In Regard to Making Palatable Fish Soups. There is no doubt a growing taste for dishes composed principally of vegetables and fish as contrasted with a purely meat diet. At the same time persons desiring such food generally belong to the class that is dainty as to the preparation and serving of its meals, and these are points scarcely so much considered as they might be by those who write for the antiflesh eating professors. It is a fact, however, that a cuisine as delicate exists abroad for "jour 3 maigre," or fasting days, as for days of feasting. \ In point of fact a good many persons go so far as to declare that more attention is bestowed in France, at any rate, on the for mer than on the latter kind of cookery. The following hints may be of assistance to peo ple who, either as a hygienic compromise or a religious observance, abstain from meats: In the matter of soups, until lately soup, in the ordinary cook's opinion, has been only another word for a large consumption of meat, with too often small and unsatisfac tory returns. Now it may be asserted that soups without an ounce of meat are numer ous and palatable. The taste of the day runs rather in favor of Btrong, clear soups—the consommes of our menus—and these can be obtained fully as well from fish as from beef, mutton, etc. Here is the way to make the stock: Take the remains, trimmings, bones, etc., of any fresh white fish, such as cod, whiting, had dock, etc., and lay them in a bright stew pan with the heads and tails of any shrimpa, any lobster shells, oyster liquor, etc., you may have at hand, together with about a dessertspoonful of lemon juice, two onions (one sliced and the other stuck with a few cloves), a bunch of herbs and a pinch of salt (this must be regulated by the saltness of the shrimps); cover the whole with cold water in the proportion of one quart of wa ter to each pound of fishbones. Bring it to the boil, skim well and let it simmer gently, but steadily at the side of the stove for »n hour. Now strain it, let it ) stand till cold, free it from all fat, then ! clear it in the usual way with the whites and shells of eggs (four for each quart of stock), and it is then ready for any kind of garnish, such as quenelles, egg balls, etc. If only wanted for sauces or thick fish soups, it requires no clearing, but can be used as soon as the fat has been removed. If you wish for a brown stock, you must first fry the onions and herbs together in a little butter, then lay in the fish and let it all fry together for 15 minutes till nicely colored; then add the water and finish off as in the first recipe. Be careful to dry the fishbones, etc., well.before putting them on Ito fry- -



Always Sit Down Wlien You Can. Mother's motto was, "Always sit down when you can," writes an old housekeeper. Sit to beat eggs, to mix cake, to peel the vegetables for dinner. And I have seen mother, with a small board in her lap, sit tranquilly ironing handkerchiefs with her tired feet on a cricket and near enough to the stove to obviate the necessity of rising for a hot iron. Now there are self heating irons, so that one may not be troubled changing flats. And when at the end of the day I have said, "It has been a hard day, mother," she has replied, "Yes, but I am not so tired as I expected to be." Don't you suppose the few moments' rest at every chance was a help in the end? Don't say it won't pay to get a chair for those few mo ments, for though you may not see it now it will add to your years and help to keep your strength in the long run.



A Hint to Piano Players. The Etude thinks that the great majority of players give too little attention to the im portant subject of exactness in fingering, for if a passage is fingered correctly and the fingering exactly followed, the hand as well as the mind learns the passage, and a mis take becomes nearly impossible. It will be found that all pianists who play with cer tainty and without break give much atten tion to fingering. The underlying principle is that all pianism depends on automatic movements, and these can be acquired only by exact repetitions of a passage over and ( over, including the fingering as well as notes, and that in a true time or rhythm—in fact, including everything that goes to make a perfect performance. It hardly need be added that the absolute perfection that this demands can only be attained by slow practice.



A Spanish Cushion. This handsome cushion in Spanish style is of perfumed satin faced with plush, across which is carried a straggling branch of



SFASF



CUSHION 1 WITH SACHET. daisies or chrysanthemums, either real on Artificial, or, again, painted or embroidered. It is further enhanced with fluttering bows and a deep lace frilling. A monogram, crest or coronet adorns the turned down angle, which displays an opening, in which the lady of the house keeps ready at hand a fan, scent bottle and lace or embroid ered handkerchief.



Nice House Shoes For Little Folks. The material to be employed is chamois leather, says The Housewife. Cut the shoes in the shape of a tiny sock. Sew them up with the seams on the inside and then turn them so that any edges may be on the out side. Do not make an opening in the front, but rather let the top be wide enough to ad mit the little foot and ankle easily. Now crochet a scallop with bright wool or silk round the edge and cut a few little slits just under it at a distance of about half an inch from each other. Run a ribbon through these the same color as the scallop, and drawing it enough to keep the little shoe firm tie a bow in front. These make nice bouse shoes for little folks.



A Novelty In Pancakes. For pink pancakes, boil a large beet till quite tender; peel it and pound it in a mor tar; beat it up with the yolks of 4 eggs, 2 spoottfnls of flour, three of cream; sweeten to taste, and add a wineglass of brandy and half a nutmeg grated. Stir well for half an hour. Fry the pancakes In butter.

DOMINO, THE RACE HORSE.



He Is the Greatest Two-yoar-old Ilnnner America Has Produced. Below is a picture of the Keene Bros. Domino, the racer, who made for his owners this year $176,730, the largest Gum ever won by one horse in one year in this country. Domino has never been beaten. What tver he may do or not do as a mature



ASFASFA



DOMINO. horse, his record as a 2-year-old will probably stand unequaled for some time to come. It will not surprise anybody to know that Domino is Kentucky born and bred. He was foaled on the farm of Major B. J. Thomas of Lexington. Victory has perched again on the ban ner of the Kentucky horse breeder this year. Domino's sire was Himyar, his dam Mannie Gray, a daughter of En quirer. Domino is a black horse. It will be interesting to know that as a yearling Domino was not considered very promising. It was said of him that he was too small and that his forelegs were weak. All the same they got them. They brought the wmning3 of the Keene stables this year to the top of the pile. Domino's trainer is William Lakeland} his rider usually Taral.



Beef Cattle Outlook. The immense floods of cattle—steers, cows, heifers, bulls and calves—of all conditions from prime fat to skin poor, that have been thrown upon the market during the past year or two can mean nothing else than that the ranges are be ing gradually depleted of their stock. It must be a practically unlimited supply that could stand the drain of the past j two years without having its power for turning off increase considerably dimin ished. If merely the increase were being j marketed, there would be small hope of any betterment in prices until the de mand increased materially, for the sup ply from the permanent stock on the ranges would be a constant one and would serve to hold prices down. The fact is, however, that everything is going. The lessened supply has not been made plainly manifest yet, for the reason that the breeding stock has been coming along with the steers, but the breeding stock must soon begin to run short, which will directly result in a short age of steers also, for the marketing of each cow lessens the future supply of steers by the number that she might have raised had she remained upon the range. How soon this condition of af fairs will result in a change for the bet ter it is impossible to say. There are other things that must betaken into con sideration in determining the future of the cattle trade. The number of cattle on the farms of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, lowa and the other western states has rather in creased than diminished during the past few years, and the supply of steers from these farms is enormous. The fact that there is but a small margin of profit on each animal, or possibly none at all, seems to have no influence on the num ber of steers that are raised. Every farmer must have a certain number of cattle to pasture off his waste land in summer and to eat up his rough feed in winter, and this number he will keep whether there is any particular pay in it or not. The supply from this source will be a constant one and will serve to retard the coming of the shortage which has been predicted. The outlook then is about this: The supply of range cattle, the heavy marketing of which at certain seasons of the year and at other, irreg ular intervals, determined by the condi tion of pasturage, tends to depress prices and at best to render them very fickle, is being lessened and will in time cease to have any marked influence on the mar ket. On the other hand, the supply of cattle fa small bunches on the farms is not be ing lessened, nor is it likely to be. A man in the cattle business must calcu late on the close competition of these Lerds for a long time—probably forever. Oattle can be raised on western farms so cheaply and in such great quantities that scarcely any condition of affairs can drive prices up to the pitch of nine or ten years ago, and cattlemen must not expect to receive such figures. The best that they can hope for is a steady market at fairly remunerative prices, and they must go to work with the idea of raising cattle | more cheaply rather than of receiving double present prices,—Exchange.



Hold a Steady Beiu. While driving the reins should not hang so slack that it is difficult for a horse to know which way the driver in tended he should travel. The animal, however, soon finds out if he attempts to turn the wrong corner, or runs the wagon wheel into a mudhole, or strikes a stone in the road, as that act seems to jog the driver's memory, for the horse is given a vicious jerk, supplemented by an un complimentary remark from the driver, when he alone is to blame for careless ness and inattention. A steady pull on the reins supports the horse and allows him to travel easier. In a great meas ure it prevents stumbling, and should an accident happen to the vehicle, or should the horse become frightened, he can usu ally be brought under control in time to prevent any serious mishap. In the field this matter is not quite so important, un less you have a young team full of met tle and vim.—C. L. Baker in American Agriculturist.
