Such a dinner we give here with full d1â€" rcctions for each dish. There is an added advantage in the fact that a portion of the meal can be prepared in advance if it is so desired. Onion, and Cucumber Soup. Boiled Leg of Mutton. Nasturtium Sauce. Potatoes. Stuffed Peppers. Salad. Wafers. Cheese. Peach Fluff Pudding. Custard Sauce. Coffee. ’In looking over this menu it Will be seen that a. portion of the Work may be done quite early in the day. Lettuce. for the salad can be thoroughly washed and placed in the icebox to become crisp, the to- matoes which go With it can bc quickly scalded and the skins reâ€" moved, and several hours in the same cool atmosphere will materialâ€" ly improve them. The dessert is a cold one, so it, too, must be made in advance, while the soup can be partially prepared, the peppers filled ready for baking and the potatoes scraped and laid in cold water. A small leg of mutton weighs six pounds at least, generally more. When buying for a large family it will often be found economical to buy the entire hind quarter and have the loin cut into chops. For a family of six there will also be needed for this dinner three cucum- bers, three onions, a half cupful of nasturtium seeds, a quart or more of potatoes (depending upon their size), half a dozen sweet green or red peppers, material for stuffing (cold riCe, chopped meat, crumbs, etc.f), a large head of lettuce, three large, firm tomatoes, 8. plate of wafers, cheese, one quart of peaches, four eggs, three pints of milk, sugar and coffee. The dessert is the first item to be considered, as it is to be served very cold. Separate the whites and yolks of three of the eggs. Beat the yolks with three tablespoonfuls of sugar, add one pint of milk which has been heating on the fire, return all to the double boiler and stir un- til the mixture thickens to a soft custard. Strain into a serving pitcher, flavor with a few drops of almond extract and set aside to chill. Peel half a. dozen of the ripest peaches, cut fine and put over the fire with the pits and one pint of water. Cook slowly until very soft, remove the pits and rub the re- mainder through 9 sieve. Return to the fire and when boiling turn in quickly three scant tablespoonfuls of cornstarch and a pinch of salt mixed to a thin paste with cold water. Stir until thick and clear, add sugar to sweeten Well, draw to one side and cook slowly for ten minutes. During this time add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and whip them to a Very still“, dry froth. Stir them into the cooked mixture and cut and turn unitil evenly mixâ€" ed. Continue the slow cooking for two minutes longer, then take from the fire. Add the remaining peaches peeled and cut fine, and turn into six small molds which have been rinsed in cold water. Set aside with the sauce. From the peppers cut the stem ends and with spoon and vegetable knife remove the white veins and every seed. Prepare about a pint of stuffing; this may be some cold cooked cereal such as rice or hom- iny, cold cooked meat, chopped fine, meat and bread crumbs in equal proportion or simply crumble-d stale breadâ€"any ingredients may be util- ized which will give a savory result. Season well with salt, onion juice, chopped parsley or other additions which will harmonize, but do not pepper, as the vegetable itself will supply the needed amount. Add sufâ€"~ ficient gravy or stock slightly to moisten, one beaten egg and three tablespoonfuls of melted butter. Lightly fill the pepper shells and ar- range them in a shallow baking pan. Peel the onions and cucumbers, cut them in. thin slices, add 1-;- pints of boiling water and a half teaspoonâ€" ful of salt, and simmer slowly until soft enough to be pressed through a fine sieve.

In this state the two por- tions which make the soup may be set aside if they have been prepared considerably in advance of the meal hour.

Add three quarts of boiling water and when the water again boils rap- idly put in the meat, adding more liquid if necessary to submerge it. Cover and boil rapidly for five minâ€" utes, then draw gradually to one side. where the water will keep at a gentle, but constant, bubble. The addition of vegetables and seasoning will make the base of a palatable thick broth for lunch or dinner next day. When the meat is almost done, take out a pint of the broth, thickâ€" en it slightly with a little flour Wet to a thin paste, add seasoning to taste and the fresh nasturtium seeds and simmer for five minutes; if the seeds are not liked, use capers or two Lablespoonfuls of finely chopped parsley. " The potatoes, which have been scrapedand well washed, will reâ€" quire about half Drain them and return the kettle to the back of the, fire for a few moâ€" ments, dropping over them about a liablespoonful of butter cut in bits. Bake the peppers in a hot oven for 35 minutes. For the salad, arrange the lettuce in the salad dish, cut the tomatoes into dice, drain for five minutes and scatter over the letâ€" tuce. Mix together four tablespoonâ€" fuls of olive oil, half a teaspoonful of salt and several. dashes of pepper. Drop slowly into this, stirring hard, one tablespoonful of vinegar. When properly blended it should be very slightly thickened and with no perâ€" ceptible globules of vinegar. Pour this over the salad, then sprinkle with a little chopped parsley and the salad is ready. It should not be put together until about fifteen minutes before dinner, as the dressâ€" ing separates rapidly. The two por- tions of the soup are to-be reheated and stirer together over hot water. Add seasoning to taste and one tea- spoonful of butter audit is ready to serve two minutes later. Afterâ€"dinner coffee should be clear as; crystal and very strong. It is usually made in some kind of a drip pot rather than boiled, and for a majority of persons it is served without milk or cream. The usual proportion is one heaping tableâ€" spoonful of very finely ground cof- fee to each half pint ‘ of boiling water. USEFUL HINTS. The onion should never be added to the soup till the last thing. out fine and boil the soup only a few minutes after the onion is in, as long boiling kills the flavor. Okra may be cooked until it is tender and then be sliced and served with a white sauce and used as a vegetable, or it may be covered with French dressing and do duty as a salad. It also may be added to the vegetable salad mixture. In making oatmeal cakes mix three handfuls of fine meal with a. pinch of baking soda, two teaspoon- fuls of dripping, and enough water to make a soft dough. Roll out thin, out into rounds, and bake it on a hot griddle over a quick fire, then toast in front of the fire.

A little salt strewn on the lid of a saucepan will prevent the contents from being smoked. If the houseâ€" wife has the misfortune to spill milk or fat on the kitchen range, a little salt thrown on it will keep down the smell, and if grease is spill; on the table, salt will keep it from sinking into the wood. Black gloves which have become rubbed and poor looking may be made to look like new by covering them with a good black ink and rubbing them when dry with a polâ€" ishing cloth.

MOTHER’S TEN COMMANDI'EJTS Be healthy. Be joyful. Be beautiful. Be gentle and placid. le firm without severity. QP‘PWPE‘ love. Tenderness is not effeminacy. And just because a sunny, bright, glad childhood is a blessing for the whole life. 7. Discipline as life disciplines. It does not. scold; does not plead; it does not fly into a passion. It simply teaches that every deed has its adequate effect. 8. Di- not laugh at the little sor- rows and pains of child life. Noâ€" thing wuunds a child more than to find ridicule where it looked for sympathy. 9. In illness and danger protect, nurse, cherish and cheer as much as in your poWer. And yet do not weaken your vitality by giving way What can be done must be done as well as possible. 10. Do not forget the happiness of having a child includes the duty of smoothing his way in the worldâ€"of endowing him with health, gladness, courage, vigor; of finally letting him live his own life freely and in his owri way. Your pay you have had in advance, for your sorrowing was happiness and your sacrificing joy. 4_..... AGONY AFTER EATING. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Cure the Worst Cases of Indigestion. "I suffered so much with indiges- tion that my life had become a burâ€" den,” says Miss Nellie Archibald, of Sheet Harbor, N.S. "Every time I took even the lightest meal it caused me hours of agony. The trouble caused a choking sensation in the region of my heart, which seriously alarmed me. My inability to proâ€" perly digest my food, left me so weak and run down that I could not erform even the lightest housework, and I Would tire out going up a few steps slowly. I sought medical aid, and tried several medicines, but without getting the least benefit. My sister, who lived at a consider- able distance, and who had been an invalid, wrote us about this time that she had been cured through usâ€" ing Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and this decided me to give them a fair trial, practically as a last resort. In the course of a few weeks there was a noticeable change in my condi tion, and I began to relish my meals. From that on I began to gain strength, and by the time I had used seven boxes, all signs of the trouble had vanished and I was once more enjoying good health, and I have not since had any return of the trouble.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cure indi- gestion, because they make the rich red blood that brings tone and strength to the stomach. Nearly all the common ailments are due to bad blood, and when the bad blood is turned into good blood by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, the trouble disâ€" appears. That is why these pills cure anaemia, dizziness, heart palpi- tation, general debility, kidney trouâ€" ble, rheumatism, sciatica. lumbago. and nervous troubles, such as neu- ralgia, paralysis and St. Vitus dance. That is why they bring case and comfort at all stages of womanâ€" hood and girlhood, and cure their secret ailments when the blood supply becomes weak, scanty or irâ€" regular. But you must gel; the gen- uine pills. .Substitutes and imita- tions which some dealers offer never cure anything.

'A very interesting story is told in the “Lancet.” of the disturbance of the balance of nature in Jamaica. Snakes were at one time numerous in the island, but now there are none. Rats amounted almost to a plague. In order to keep both down the mongoose was imported from the East. This brave little beast soon made an end of the snakes, while the rats, in order to save themselves, took to the trees, and became egg eaters and bird 'desâ€" troyers. ‘ This reduced the number of birds and in turn the cattleticks increased and became a nuisance. Now the ticks are worrying the mon- , goose by getting into its ears, whence the intruders cannot easily be dislodged. 'A bird on the hat is worth two in the bush.
