PRACTICAL DESSERTS.
During the season of fruit, and for
jthat matter, that li all the rear round,
fruit provides a dessert that Is easy,
usually Inexpensive and decidedly
wholesome. All fruit will not do In
Idessert making, so we like a variety
of reasonably Inexpensive dishes for
levervdav use.
, There Is a large variety of fritters
and hot cakes that may be served with
various sauces and are quickly and
jeaslly prepared. The fat kettle Is
icarefully covered and set away and
lean be brought out to heat while the
(fritters are being prepared.
Apple Fritters Sift together one
land a third cups of flour, two teaspoon
ifuls of baklne oowder and half a tea-
spoonful of salt; beat an egg, add two
Ithlrds of a cup of milk and mix all to
gether, adding two sour apples cut In
Ismail pieces. Drop by spoonfuls In
(hot fat and fry a delicate brown. Roll
ln powdered sugar and serve with cur
jrant Jelly sauce. The sauce Is pre
jpared by boiling together a cup of
ugar and a third of a cup of water
(five minutes; add four tablespoonfuls
tof currant Jelly and when boiling hot
the Juice of a lemon; strain and serve,
Jf a very nice sauce Is desired, with a
handful of candled cherries.
Baked Bananss (Porto Rleo) Put
father green bananas In the oven and
jbake until the skins burst; serve with
butter.
Souffles are another form of dessert
which may be varied In endless ways.
When baking, a shallow pan should
fee used, as the weight of the mixture
itends to break the cell walls. When
the dish seems to be too shallow, line
It with a band of buttered paper that
Stands up above the dish. Always set
the pan Into water to equalize the heat
In baking.
Coffee Souffle. Cook together three
tablespoonfuls each of butter and
flour, then add a cup of black cofTee.
When thick add salt and a third of a
cup of sugar; cool and add the beaten
yolks of three egf?s, and then, add the
beaten whites. Turn Into buttered
dish and bake until firm. Serve with
whipped cream.

LEFT-OVER DISHES.
It takes thought and planning to
use the bits of left-over meats accept
ably. One may often buy in the mar
ket small amounts of meat, too small
for any but individual portions, which
may be used with other foods to pro
vide a good meal.
A little chopped ham added to an
. omelet makes a pleasant change and
the dish has more food value, an Im
portant item, when preparing the
meal, to arrange for.
Cooked ham mixed with mashed po
tato, and after seasoning make into
flat cakes. Brown In a little fat
Minced Liver. To each cup of cold,
minced liver add one tablespoonful of
chopped onion browned In butter, and
season with salt and a little paprika.
Turn into an agate frying pan with. a
little water. Sprinkle lightly with
flour and add a quarter of a cup of
vinegar. Simmer until well heated.
Sausage and Rice Cakes. To one
cup of cooked rice, warm or cold, add
an unbeaten egg and two tablespoon
fuls of cold fried sausage. Form into
flat cakes. If the mixture is too soft
add a little more rice. Brown In but
ter or hot fat, being careful to have
the fat very hot before adding the
cakes. This amount will make half a
dozen medium sized cakes.
- Yankee Toast Poach a few eggs
and brown the same number of pieces
of toast in bacon fat Crush a little
of the bacon and sprinkle over each
slice of toast and serve with an egg
on top. Shred a leaf of lettuce very
fine and garnish the top of each egg.
The meat from a shank of boiled
ham may be chopped and mixed with
boiled salad dressing. Pack in a Jar
and have a sandwich fining that will
keep Indefinitely.

OMELETS.
To make n good omelet requires
skill and deft handling. A good ome
let la a work of art of which one may
b Justly 'proud. Eggs are reasonably
plentiful now, and omelets of various
kinds are In season.
Fruit Omelet To the yolk of one
large egg beaten until very light, add
Genuine Maple Sugar Scarce. '
There are few people outside the
maple sugar making districts, nays a
writer in the Country Gentleman, who
really know what the genuine article
tastes like. The superior flavor thus
spoken of la probably due in a degree
to the same causes that make straw
berries eaten oft the vfne and cherries
con ii i on tie tree so delectable.
Tbs r , otei, however, puts some
cf r t . f r V poor favor of
, . t r r 1 tie "ry
one tablespoonful of fruit Juice; If
orange is used, add a fourth of a tea
spoonful of the grated rind and a tea
spoonful of sugar; beat well together
and fold In the beaten white. Cook
very slowly In a well-greased omelet
p&n.
Caramel Omelet Take two eggs,
separate the whites and yolks and
beat well. To the beaten yolks add
two tablespoonfuls of caramel sirup.
Bea until well mixed, add more sugar,
If needed, half teaspoonful of van
illa and one teaspoonful of lemon.
Fold this into the beaten whites and
cook In a greased pan.
Cheese Omelet Cook together a
cup of milk and four tablespoonfuls of
cornstarch. Pour this when cool over
the well beaten yolks of four eggs.
Stir Into this four teaspoonfuls ol
bread crumbs and the same amount
of cheese. Fold In the whites, which
have been beaten stiff, and bake In a
moderate oven fifteen minutes.
A ham omelet is prepared as for a
plain one, and minced ham Is
sprinkled over the top Just before fold
ing it over.
A delicious sweet omelet Is prepared
with almonds and maple sirup. Into
a hot buttered omelet pan turn a hand
ful of blanched almonds, then pour
over them a plain omelet, being care
ful not to have the heat strong enough
to burn the nuts. Fold and pour
around It a hot maple sirup. This
makes a very nice dessert.
Tomato Omelet Make a plain om
elet, and when ready to fold, pour over
It half cup of thickened tomato,
stewed down. Add a teaspoonful of
butter and two of flour cooked togeth
er, season with salt and pepper and
serve hot.
The family may wait for the omelet,
but the omelet should never wait for
the family. An omelet kept waiting
has a most discouraged, down-at-the-mouth
sort of an expression.

FROZEN DISHES.
There is such a latitude for variety ;
In frozen dishes that the same dish I
need not appear often enough to be
monotonous.
Burnt Almond Ice Cream. Blanch
and chop a cup of almonds, carmellze
four tablespoonfuls of sugar, and add
the almonds. When cold pound to a
powder. Add this mixture to ordinary
ice cream with a tablespoonful of al
mond extract.
Cocoa Nut Ice Cream. Mix a half
cup of cocoa with a half cup of flour,
a cup and a fourth of sugar and a half
teaspoonful of salt; add two eggs
slightly beaten. When well mixed add

MONEY SQUANDERED ON DRINK

The amount of money we- spend

rectly and Indirectly, for liquor would
give a two neeka' vacation to every
man. woraau and child In the land,
with their board and expenses paid.

poor house and Insane asylums to
take care of the people who get Into
trouble through bard drink. That
makes $3,000,000,000, or $30 apiece tor
everybody. For family of father,
mother-and four children It amount
to $180 a year, a nice sum for an out
ing In the country.
It ia estimated that 1.600.000 men
and women In the United States are
every day either mentally or pnysicai
ly disabled for work as a result of
drink. Investigation among alms
bouses shows that more than half of
the Inmates become paupers on ac
count of drink. That means that more
than 1,500,000 people who have put
themselves out of business tnrougu
drink hava to be fed and cared for
at the expense of the honest hard
working people who do not anna.
Warden Roberts of the New York
almshouse on Blackwell's Island, de
clared that he believed nine-tenths or
the Inmates came there through drink.
Dr. T. D. Crother assert that on
person out of every ten who dies goes
to hla grave on account of the abuse
nf alcohol, and one-fifth of all dlseaaes
of mankind are' traceable to alcohol.
It Is commony suppised thst there
is no harm In drinking if the person
does not become intoxicated. But doc
tors are constantly meeting cases of
paralysis caused by alcohol In those
who never become Intoxicated. And
besides this, it is known that people
who drink very moderately are not so
well able to resist when attacked by
disease. People who drink even mod
erately run much greater risk of death
in surgical operations. People who
use alcoholic beverages have more
diseases than neoDle who do not drink.
Dr. Alexander Lamber of New York j
asserts that of the 24,300 patients In
Bellevue hospital during one year, over
one-fourth were alcoholic patients.
The startling statement is made by
Professor Cutten that out of every 100
alcoholics attacked by pneumonia 70
die, while out of every 100 people who
are not drinkers only 23 die when at
tacked by pneumonia.
If It could be shown that the drink
ing man had better brains, or better
muscles, or better earning power, or
lived longer than the man who did
not drink, there might be some argu
ment In favor of drink, even In spite
of all that has Just been said. But
thousands of experiments have shown
that the brain worker and the laboring
man are both at a disadvantage if
they drink.
RTnnrlmenta in the French army
showed that under all circumstances
thA French soldier is 40 per cent
more efficient when subjected to a
regimen of total abstinence. Generals
Roberts" and Kitchener in Africa j
proved the same fact about the Brit
ish army. Laboring men who used to
feel the necessity of having their dram
regularly in order to do their work and
do it well, now know they were for
merly deceived, and that they are net
tar workmen without drink. Bo well
is this understood by practical busi
ness men that many large raiiroaaa
and other nmnlovers of labor have pro

employes at all times, some marine
Insurance companies made a reduction
of 6 per cent in Insurance rates to

In the life of the confederacy, also in
naval architecture, was marked.
The United States began building
more monitors with feverish h:te.
Wooden sloops, cruisers, corvettes and
frigates were hurried into the discard.
A navy wasn't the real thing unless
It had a lot of queer looking ironclad
vessels resembling "the cheese box on
raft"
Naval historians say that the build
ing of the Monitor was an Illustra
tion of the adage, "Necessity is the
mother of Invention." The United
States was threatened by an uncon
querable Iron coated foe. A new style
of fighting craft was needed. Ericsson

sult, says the Kansas City Star.
AH well and good! But Ericsson's
success caused a score of embryo
naval designers to strain their eye
sight and hearing searching for an
other Mother Necessity. Navy de
partments, admiralty offices and ship
building firms were besieged by ar
chitects. Specifications for all sorts
of odd appearing war vessels were
produced. Most of these met a pro
saic death In the waste paper basket;
many got as far as the experimental
stage; some were actually built and
launched and once or twice the sea
going military establishments of the
world have been given hair raising
icares.
Two Notable Marine Freaks.
The Katahdln and the Vesuvius
were the names selected by the United
States for two of Its more noted sea
freaks. Both were radical departures
from accepted naval construction.
Both were expected to revolutionize
naval warfare. And both failed.
Rear Admiral Daniel Ammen was
responsible for the Katahdln. He
lived and died believing that he had
given to his country Its moBt valuable
weapon of defense.
Admiral Ammen was a studious sort
of a chap. He was Interested In his
profession. He knew bow seamen had
fought and how ships had Deen Dum
since the days of Phoenicia. Partic
ularly he liked the methods used by
the valiant sea lighters of Rome. He
was Impressed with their naval ar
chitecture, the sharp ramming beaks
on solidly built craft.
Why, the admiral probably reason
ed to himself, could not this ram be
used in modern warfare? He began a
quiet search for Mme. Necessity. He
took the ram Idea of the Romans, the
armor plated Idea of his own day and
the compact machinery plan of Erics
son and began work. He rolled and
hammered and welded these three
ideas together and produced the
Katahdln.

Then Admiral Ammen smiled and be
gan to explain hi theory again. , Am
men coaxed, exhorted, demanded and
besought Also he persisted. The
navy department said go ahead. The
Katahdln was built
The ram looked like a cross between
a great lake wbaleback grain boat and
a water logged cigar of monster pro
portions when It was launched In 1889.
Then for four year the Katahdln wa
put through all the trial naval officers
could devise. The boat did everything
It Inventor claimed. The government
paid $930,000 for the Katahdln and
then waited for an enemy to humiliate.
In 1898 Spain balanced a husky chip
on It shoulder. Uncle Sam promptly
lapped it Here waa the Katahdln'
opportunity. Along about March, 1898.
thing looked pretty dark for the
United State navy. Spain' fighting
ship (till had considerable standing.
Great things were expected from the
Katahdln.
"We have In our navy, one enthusi
ast declared, "one boat which alone
could fight the whole much vaunted
Spanish fleet" He meant the Katah
dln. vv- y ':.--.
But the Katahdln was a failure. It
wa designed to chase an enemy Into
a corner and then puncture a hole In
the aide of the hostile ship with the
400,000 ton blow the Katahdln ram
could deliver. Of coarse the enemy
would fight back; but the ' conical
armored deck of the Katahdln wa
made to shed shells like a duck sheds
water.
It took only a few days to learn
that the Katahdln couldn't steam fast
enough to ram a rowboat and, most
any old popgun could punch boles In
Its armor before It got under way. In
addition the ram was not seaworthy.
Vesuvius Terror of the Navy.
So the skipper of the Katahdln
brought his boat back to Washington
navy yard and the Junk pile. The ram
became a curiosity of naval construc
tion Instead of a revoluttonlier of na
val warfare. ' ' '
Quite recently the Katahdln met a
prosaic end by acting a a target for
a new style of naval artillery.
The Vesuvius came nearer fame. It
wa launched In 1888. The Spanish
American war also berated tts death

The Vesuvius was a dynamite crui
ser. Its weapons were three bronze
tubes projecting amidships and for
ward. From these tubes dynamltt
shells containing 250 pounds of gun
cotton were burled by compressed air.
It was expected that a few of these
monster charges would destroy a
whole continent.
And they might have had the Vesu
vius been able to tire accurately. The
tubes were Immovable and the only
way to aim was to point the ship at
the target and then regulate the air
pressure. In the language of one na
val expert, "Sometime we hit the isl
and of Cuba."
The Vesuvius saw real war service
In 1898. It has the Katahdln's record
beaten. The Vesuvius would sneak
clowe in to shore at night near Santi
ago and Are a few dynamite shells.
They made a frightful noise when
they exploded and won the sobriquet
of "the earthquake maker" for the
ship, but nothing more.
To quote a naval officer: "The Vesu
vius waa turned out to be the terror of
the seas and became the terror of the
American navy."
Officers were afraid the dynamite
magazines would explode In a heavy
sea.
CLING TO THEIR PRIVILEGES
Ambassador Enjoy Many Bights
That Have Been Accorded Them
for Centuries.
"Ambassador" and "minister" mean
pretty must the same to the average
man, but there Is a very great differ
ence between the two. Inasmuch as an
amhaacador possesses many privileges
abroad that do not pertain to si mere
minister.
Psrhnns tha moat curious Orlvllege Of
an ambassador, who I accredited to
the ruler of a country and not merely
to tha government thereof, as Is a min
ister, is that the ambassador may when
dismissed turn hi back to the sov
ereign to whose court be has been
assigned. Briefly described the mode
of procedure Is as follows:
When the audience Is at an end the
amna aaador waits to be dismissed by
the sovereign. When dismissed the am
bassador bows, retires three paces,
howa stain, turns on his heels and
walks to the folding doors. But when
the reigning sovereign is a woman a
more polite method is employed.. To
turn his back would be to resign a
privilege; therefore the ambassador re
trB alfiawava. Ha keeDS one eye on
the overign and with the other he
endeavors to find the door. By thl
unique means he contrive to how all
nniitanasa to tha sovereign! and at the
same time retain hi ambassadorial
privilege In retiring. Another privilege
of an ambassador is that of being ush
ered into the royal presence througt
folding doors, botn of wnicn must oe
flung wide for him. None save an am
bassador can claim thl privilege, the
greatest favor in thl respect that can
be shown any non-ambassadorial rep
resentative consisting in the opening
to him of one door only.

BABY'S ECZEMA AND BOILS
"My son was about three weeks old
when I noticed a breaklng-out on his
cheek, from which a watery sub
stance oozed. A short time after, his
arms, shoulder and breast broke out
also, and In a few day became a solid
scab. I became alarmed, and called
our family physician who at once pro
nounced the disease eczema. The lit
tle fellow was under treatment for
about three months. By the end of
that time, he seemed no better. I be
came discouraged. I dropped the doc
tor's treatment nd commenced the
use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment,
and in a few day noticed a marked
change. The eruption on hi cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulder,
arms and breast were decidedly bet
ter. When he wa about seven month
old, all trace of the eczema was gone.
"During his teething period, hi
head and face were broken out In
bolls which I cured with Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. Surely he must
have been a great sufferer. During
the time of teething and from the time
I dropped the doctor's treatment I
used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment, nothing else, and when two
years old be was the picture of health.
