Emilia Custer writing in Good House ..Iceeping about German cooking says: Next in order comes a recipe for sauer kraut. I can see some of the readers ; smile, and hear them say : ' Oh, of course, I thought that was coming! Whoever -ca-i think of German cook. ng without . bving rrcmu ded of sauerkraut? Who wants t j eat the nasty stuff.''' Now, I cannot see that sauerkraut is- more. nasty than anything else that has to Undergo a chemical change before it is considered ready for use. ' Beer r.nd wine have to be fermented, and the odor that emanates from them during this process is not always an agreeable one. : Tainted meat, as long as it comes under the head of game, is eaten and relished by many, then why be disgusted with sauerkraut, which is merely cabbage which has be come sour nbt putrid)? The popular idea that it is put into casks and stamped - down with the feet has about as jnuch truth in it as the one that bakers knead the dough with their feet. I.havo never . seen it done myself, nor do I know of any one that has seen it. Of course, when it is prepared at home that objec tion cannot be urged. However, the following recipe's are given for the bene-: fit of those who are cosmopolitan enough to eat it and like it : : Trim off the coarse outer leaves of as many heads of cabbags as yo i wish to use ; quarter them and take out the stalks, then shave each piece very.fine on a cold -. slaw cutter; when you have cut up, one head of cabbage lay it in a large stone pot or wooden tub, sprinkle about as much salt over this layer a3 you would use in boiling it no more, if anything a little less, ns, if it gets t oo much salt, the cabbage will probably not turn sour and pound eeh layer down with a' potato-masher until the water comes. Proceed in like manner- with each suc--ces3ive layer, and then cover with'a cloth, board, ai d heavy stone ' The sauerkraut should be looked after once a week, the scum carefully removed, and if the water evaporate?, boil a little salt and water, and when cold pour over it. This is on j method, and the simplest and best. The other is more of what -.: To Krr Is Unman -13at it is positively inexcusable to administer or take narcotics or potent sedatives to relieve Intranqtiility of the nerves, thi easily d iscov erable cause of which is stmply indigestion.

Neuralgia, rheumatism and ma larial disorders, arid kidney troubles, are en tirely erad.cated by this matchless invigor.int and regulator. - ' - lips incongruous mix- some would call "an .The cabbage is cut the same as above, then, instead of putting salt between the layer.?, green gr.ipe, small lady anples. whole peppers and- caraway seeds are put in, merely sprinkli ng the cask or tub with sa!t. '-. . There are various ways of cooking sauerkraut. One way is to cook a nice piece o. fresh pork in it, and this, with mashed potatoes, makes a very good plain, dinner. V An Ominous Conjh. In thq smoking salon 'of a West-bound sleeping car was a man of about thirty five year, a wealthy, active-looking mau of a lively spirit and a ready tongue. Story tel ing was the order of the hour, and the traveler in. question did more than his shanv ancl with su -h display of vivacity and humor that his fellow pas- sengers instinctively S'-t mm down la thei r mental note-books as one of the jollie st and happ est men they had had the pleasure of meeting for many a day. Suddenly, and in the midst of one of his liveliest stories, he was compelled by coughing to pause in his recital. He did not at. once resume, and when his ex pectant listeners looked at him more closely to discover! the cause of the delay I they saw that he was as pale as a sheet ana tremoi ng violently. in ni3 eves was a wild expression, and his twitched nervously. 'He is iii brins a glass of water," some one cried. But the story-teller waved a negative gesture with his hand, and made a visi ble e if or t t control himself and speak. ''It -it is nothing," he said, after a few moments. "It is nothing, gentlemen, but that cough. Did you hear it I It was not much, was it? And yet to me it meaps a good deal. Boys, six years ago I had three brothers and two sisters. Tsow I have neithe; brother nor sister. I am phe last of a family of six children. : One by one they took consumption and quickly fell be ore the destroyer. First hmma, then Clarence, next George and Harry within two months of each other, and finally Kate, my favorite sister. Within three years they all died. And how it is my turu. It has been a peculiarity of the work of that terrible disease in our family that in every case it first made its presence manifest by a peculiar cough. It wa. so with all of. them. It seems that at least it is so with me. . "Boys, that couffh which came to me a few moments ago wa3 the first warn ing. Oh, I know its dread sound only too well. Within nine months at the furthest I, too,shall be called away. But why care? Death must come some time. We are all in the same boat, and let me see, Where was I? I will finish my story. Oh, yes, I have it." The story was finished. The teller seemed to throw into it all of his old-time spirit. With an almost reckless aban don he gave a lichness to the dialect of the anecdote and a delicious emphasis to every telling word, ilia lace, too, was wreathed in smiles as he reached the end cf the ludicrous tale. But not a laugh was heard. Among all of hi9 listeneri there was not a d;y eye not one who could , forTiis life have to d what the story was about.' What was a bit of com edy in the presence of a tragedy in real lif e I ; k e that ? U.'i icago Hm.
