Box WO, Nkw York Cm HOMEMAKEBS COLUMN. CoLtjiui, Oxford Democrat, Sooth Parte, Me Weys of Preparing Rabbit. Rabbit· add the possibility of another meat—fortunately an inexpensive one— to the family diet In making a selection, the housewife should choose a trapped rather than a shot rabbit. Granted that It was skin ned In market, out in pleoee at the joints, wash in cold water and wipe dry. If any pieces abowclota of blood, put tbem in cold, salted water nntil it oan be easily wiped off. Frying is the simplest form of rabbit oookery and is especially enjoyed when rabbits first appear. Later the palate demands higher seasoning or at least a different method of preparation. Dredge each piece with dour, place in a hot fry ing pan with as little lard or dripping as possible, season with salt and pepper, and fry until tender, turning from time to time. Make a gravy by browning dour in the pan after the rabbit is taken out, then adding milk and more season ing, and simmering until the flour is cooked and the sauce thickens. A Creole sauce may be served with fried rabbit instead of gravy. Pry two minced onions in butter, add a sliced green pepper and a small can of toma toes, season witb salt and cayenne, and cook until almost pasty. Cut olives and quartered muebroons may be added to this if desired. When tired of fried rabbit, try cooking en casserole. Prepare in the usual way, setting in a hot, dry frying pan, then place in the casserole with boiling water, Reasoning, a quartered onion or two, a scraped sliced carrot, and a bay leaf or a few sprigs of parsley. Cover and cook until almost tender, then add potatoes or turnips cut in small pieces. Cover again and finish cooking. Like all cas serole cookery, this requires a minimum of labor and personal attention. CURRIED RABBIT For curried rabbit fry a chopped onion in a tablespoonful of butter, then add the jointed rabbit and let it brown. Cov er witb bot water or stock and let sim mer until the rabbit Is tender. Take up and keep bot until tbe sauce is made. Blend a tablespoonful of flour and one of curry powder, rub smooth with a little cold water and tbe juice of half a lemon, add to tbe stock left in tbe pan and cook until smooth and thick. To serve, cover a platter with hot boil ed rice, lay tbe rabbit on this, and pour over it tbe smoking curry. Grated co coauut and a bot sauce like Chutney served witb curry are considered an im provement. FUICASSKED RABBIT Cover tbe j'iinted rabbit with hot wa ter and boil about balf an hour. Now add a sliced onion and a few diced pota toes, a bla'le of mace and a little pars ley. Cook until the rabbit and vege tables are tender. Thicken with flour, season witb salt and pepper. Let boil up once and serve. i Almost any vegetables may be served with rabbit, but spinach, turnip, onions, and cauliflower are appropriate. BRAISED RABBIT Cut in pieces, lay in salt water at least an hour, drain, salt and pepper, roll In flour, lay in bake pan, place a small bit of butter on each piece, fill pan with water until the meat is barely covered, add sprig of sage to >rater, cover and bake. If eage is not available use pars ley or a medium sized onion. This is very delicious. RABBIT GOl'LASH One rabbit, boil 15 minutes, add β po tatoes, 1 can tomatoes, 1 large hot red pepper, season with salt and black pep per, drop dumplings can be added if de sired. HAS9ENPREFFER Cut in pieces, lay in salt water six hours, lay in crock, to each rabbit add 1 1 '«Ί n«nnnr and f-· — r· — » — « . . a fiiuch of mixed spices; put weight on and set in cool place ready for use; in 24 hours take from vinegar and boil; make brown flour gravy; to eacb rabbit use 11-4 pints of the etock in crock for gravy and pour over the rabbit. SMOKED RABBIT Prepare and smoke the same aa pork. Thia is fine. Care of Tableware. Delicate glass and china must not be exposed to extremes of heat or cold, but should be gently heated before bot food is put into them. Glassware—Wash glass that is not much soiled or oily in cold water; also tumblers that have been used for milk, ^oapy water or water with a little am monia id it may be used where cold wa ter is not sufficient, but the glass should be wiped at once or it will become Atreaky. Cut glass—A soft brush is necessary. In drying, sawdust is very useful, as it will absorb moisture where the cloth cannot reach. Avoid scratching glass as tbis weakens it, and a slight jar will be apt to break it where it ia cracked. After washing fine china, spread the pieces out till cool, instead of packing tbem on top of each other. The warmth is apt to crackle the glaze. Sort the china into groups before washing and wash each group separate ly. Don't use soap on gilt china. To clean silver—First wash it well in bot soapy water, then apply a little whiting with a cloth wet with either al cohol or water. Let the whiting dry on the silver, then rub off with a piece of ctiamois or soft clotb. To keep silver that ie not in c instant use, wrap eacb piece in tia®uo paper and then all to gether in old flannel. Usee for Vinegar. Vinegar should be kept in glaaa jars, ratber than in stone onea. The best cider vinegar should be used in pickling. Before polishing the stove rab it with vinegar. This removes all grease, leav ing the surface smooth, and keeps the blacking from burning off so quickly. Wben boiling meat of any kind, add a tablespoonful of vinegar to the water when first put over the fire. This makes the meat tender and does not leave any fiavor of the vinegar. Tough meat may be softened by brushing over with one part vinegar to two parts of oil or batter and letting stand for a few hours. A little vinegar served in the platter with the steak adds to the flavor of the meat. A tableepoonful of vinegar added to 'he water in wbiob fish is boiled basa tendency to whiten the meat and make it firmer. When poaching eggs, a teaspoonful of vinegar added to'the boiling water will prevent the whites from spreading. A small dish of vinegar placed on the back of the stove when cooking cabbage will help destroy the odor. When ready to bang out clothe·, wet the hands with vinegar, let it dry on, and you will have no cold fingers. Vinegar will sometimes revive colors in delicate materials. One tablespoon· fnl of vinegar to each quart of rinsing water; saturate well, wring tightly, and dry quickiy indoors. Hinta. If you have varnished floors, renew their glosa by sprinkling with coarae salt. Let it remain five or more min ute· and sweep off with a soft broom or broab. Those wbo have no liking for house work are seldom good housekeepers, for one likes what sbe ia interested in. If the vtuegar cruet, water bottle, or ▼aae ia atained, fill with soapsuds made strong with ammonia. Let atand a short time, then drop in a few shot or beana and abake well. If a cork has fallen into a bottle that you want to use, pour in enough atrong ammonia to float the cork, leave it a day or two and it will be so eaten that it can easily be shaken ont. Such a quick fire Is needed for making good oookies and drop cakes that they are Inclined to burn on the bottom. Turn the pans bottom side np, place the cookiea and cakea on them and tbey will burn lesa eaally and be removed more eaaily. There la a lot of power In alienee.

A Matter of DistanoM. Why did Homer call the Dardanelles "broad" or "boundless," although at the point where Leander and Byron swam It the breadth la barely a mile? Byron's comment Is very neat: "The wrangling about the epithet, the broad Hellespont' or the 'boundless Helles pont' whether it means one or the other, or what It mean3 at all, baa been beyond all possibility of detail.

HDd Mrs. Lutber Elwood agreed ιο separate they left everything pertaining to their separation to Prank El wood, the husband's brother, who was α luwyer. This meant not only that be was to procure the divorce· uient. but to, arrange for the care of the children, and be was given carta blanche to take any measure In th* premises be might see fit Prank placed all the blame for the trouble on his brother, who had been somewhat gay during his bachelor hood and was not Inclined to give op his attentions to other women after his marriage. His wife was very rigid aa to the actions of her husband and made him feel that be was too circum scribed. Frank endeavored to con vince his brother that the home was of far more import» nee than the pleas ure to be derived from attentions to any woman who would so far demean herself its to accept them from another womon's husband, and he bad better accede to bis wife's wishes and con fine himself to her. But Luther de clared that his attentions to other wo men were harmless and be did not propose to l»e dictated to by a Jealous woman Whereupon the lawyer laid down the following plan for the couple's guid ance: Both should leave the home and reside elsewhere. The children were to be left where they were under the 6are of a woman to be provided for the purpose. The father and mother would be permitted to visit tbetr off spring once a month, the father on the 1st, the mother on the 15th. The law yer agreed to procure the divorce as soon as possible This plan was objected to by both parties, whereupon Prank Elwood de clared that be would have nothing to do with the matter. But It was essen tial that the care of the children be provided for while the divorce pro ceedings were pending, and, since the couple could find no one else on whom they could agree to manage the affair, they finally gave In and left It In Prank's hands In June Frank Elwood Informed his brother and his sister-in-law that their legal separation would be completed In six months. On the 220th of Decem ber he notified them that the decree would be granted early In January, and be desired them to call at his of fice on the 23d of December for the purpose of making certain transfers of property that had been agreed upon out of court On the 23d be Informed them that the papers would not be ready for signature till after office hours the next day. He therefore ap pointed the meeting to take place at their home at S p. m. sharp. "Tomorrow evening!" exclaimed Lu ther Elwood. "Why. that's Christmas eve." "Good graciousf' exclaimed Edltb Elwood.

But you're not going to spend your Christmas alone. You're going to spend It right here In the home you've saved from a permanent wreck." The mother said nothing. She dared uot trust her voice to speak. She went to Frank, put her arms around his neck a»id kissed blm. while one of the girls took his hat away from him, and the youngest boy, seizing bis cane, ca pored around the room using It for a horse.

Deadheads. Exactly how our language came into possession or the word "deadhead," which Is so frequently used In connec tion with the transportation business. Is not known. Of the many versions of Its origin which are curreut the fol lowing whether correct or not. Is at least tbe aert Interesting: Many years ago the principal avenue of a town pissed close to the entrance of a toll road leading to a cemetery Às this cemetery bud been laid out dome time previous to the construction of the road, it was arranged that all funeral processions should be allowed to pass along Lbe road free of toll. Due day, as a well known physician who was driving along this road stopped to pay bis toll, be observed to the keeper. "Considering the benevolent character of our profession, I tbluk you ought to let us pass free of charge." "No, no, doctor,'" said the gatekeep er, "we can't afford that You send too many deadheads through as It is." The story traveled around the coun try, and in this way the word "dead head" eveutually came to he applied to those who obtain free transportation from railway and steamship lines.
