I ( Tie Food Wo Kit.
'v I ' We have spoken somewhat of the
j preparation of meats, and now let us
J ' j talk a little about the cooking of vege
j tables. There Is one Important rule,
J never to be neglected, never to be
1 j slighted, In the cooking of any vegetv
blc. There Is one exception only to
i this rule, and that makes It the more a
I rule. This rule Is, never pournn) thing
I but boiling water over vegetables No
i matter hit Ihey arc or how they are to
i be prepared, when ou put them nn
1 I put boiling water over them. Lvcn In
m i 1 the parboiling of beans, It Is belter to
1 j I put boiling water over them, and then
1 i I throw that ofi, for this pruetlcu keeps
I the real flaor of the vegetable In Itself,
. ; Instead of dissipating It In the water Uc
X I I sure the water Is boiling not merely hot,
r I f nor warm, It must be boiling, rhe ex
, i J cepllon to this rule Is In the cooking or
ft potatoes, cither very old ones or very
3 S new ones. If you put them on In cold
L j J water, so some cooks milntaln, they
li f ulilhebctterlnlliNorand In mealiness.
Jf f However, our potatoes, even now this
J late In the spring, are nlnais put on In
, f boiling water, and they taste quite as
; w ell ns other people's, and I think a
' great deal better than most of potatoes.
t f You can try this for yourself. There Is
J. an accompanying rule to this one I have
;, $ i,lven you, and it Is quite as Important,
' and must never be neglected This Is,
k to drain the vegetable oft" the moment It
V Is done. Tliere Is nothing so tasteless
A 1 ns water soaked nototoet or any sort
j of aegctables, and If they remain one
, i moment, I might almost say one second,
1 is too long In the water alter they ore
iX ' done they become water soaked, and
k i o amount of seasoning will replace the
at delicate and nutritious flavor which has
I been thrown away. So look to It that
1 I your careless girl docs not ruin every
T ! J vegetable by the breaking of one or
s J I both of these rules, home cooks re
s' f ' I commend the soaking of some kinds of
I J vegetables In cold water for some hours
K J belore cooking, especially If tho vege
b f table be old, strong, or wilted In the
J 1 I latter case, It Is certainly better to soak
j I them In Ice cold water for some time,
j I until they lme freshened and lost their
E wiltlncss
m f The potato Is tho most common and
H the most useful vegetable we have I am
, nwarc that some over critical people say
12 that the potato has little or nonouilsh
I' f j ment, but It Is none the less useful for
m 1 i that, as It supplies the bulk required by
f I I the stomach, without overcrowding
I 1 with heavy food material. Can you
fit boil potatoes with their skins or without,
i. j ' so that they are succulent, firm and full
jF of flavor? If you can, I shall say you
I 1 possess the elements of a good cook,
, I 1 lor care In this iartlcular Indicates care
( 1 In others, and I feel sure you are on the
,, j ' watchtowers of your kitchen contlnu
ally. After your potatoes are boiled and
) the wotter turned oil, cover them with a
clean folded dishcloth Instead of the tin
1 I cover, and let them stand on the back
h j j of the stove until wanted. If jou mash
fe J ' them, do be sure the lumps are all
h f out, and that you put enough cream and
K butter In them to make them soft and
? f moist. Then beat them with a big fork,
j I until thay arc as light ns foam, In dishing
J, j them, bo a little particular nbout smooth
I lug them oir with a knife and make sue-
' ' cesslve curves w illi the blade, and put a
lit bit of butler on top, and pepper well,
5 j and your potatoes will taslemuch better
" ; j for looking so tempting.

Tliere Is no doubt that the cut of
skirts Is uudergolng a radical change I
dare say that we will alt adopt the new
styles, with sufficient moderation to be
sensible, for It would seem ridiculous
for a fewwomen logo about with the
tight, belt fitting skirt which has been
popular so long while the rest wore
gored and flaring petticoats I can en
dure to make my skirts a little wider
for the comfort the new ctylo brings In
making the edge of the skirt at least
two Inches from the ground nnd in some
cases, where a woman has a pretty foot
and wants to show It, even three or four
Inches from the ground You remember
the old gored skirt, with the front and
side breadths very narrow at the top
and sloping outward to the bottom of
the skirt In a deep angle. Well, that is
the way the new style flares out the
new skirt The bottom has to be stif
fencd, nnd that Is the worst feature of
the whole thing, for this makes a very
heavy weight to carry around on the
hips. Dressmakers run n sort of cord
of horsehair around the facing, and that
gives the appearance of small hoops Of
course some sort of stlfTllnlng has to be
used, ctso the skirt would flap around
the ankles with anything but a graceful
look. Now, 1 want to big all my friends
who are detennlned to adopt the new
fashion to add a grain of sense to their
folly, nnd Insist on the dressmaker sew
Ing that heavy skirt on to n low necked
underwalst If you cared to do so. your
dress could be made In the princess
shanc,and trhmnrd to simulate! a;hatque,
and this would take the weight off the
hips. In any case, be sure, as you value
jour life nnd health, to see to It that
jour skirt harrgs from the shoulders and
that not one pound Is dependent from
jour hips.
blecvcs are still abnormally large, and
the fullness drops instead of standing
upright ns It has done. Trimming
around the bottom of skirts Is put on in
lines, or ruffles lull bits rullles will
appear on many dresses I ikewlse
bands of velvet and lace ruffles.
I tats will be n medley for color, and
the prevailing colors are green and
violet Hut for goodness sake don't
try to combine these colors yourself, if it
Is not done for you by n really artistic
milliner, let tliem nlone. Twisted
shapes nnd broad brims are the rule
There are some poke bonnets seen, and
the tiny bonnet is tinier still, home
hats and bonnets have no crowns at all,
areas It were lust a wreath of flowers
on the head.
The outdoor wraps are also decidedly
strange looking, villi great flaring
skirts hall way down to tho feet, and
with all sorts of big sleeves and flaring
plastrons on the shoulders. I ace Is
used to trim spring wraps. The trim
little fichu style of wraps seems to be
coming In.
I saw a very neat, pretty costume In
nn eastern paper, which had not too
widen skirt half way down there was
added what looked like a very deep vet
not too wide ruffle It looked to me like
the old fashioned "cut-skirt" which jou
remember akcs little cloth, fits nicely
over the hips and Is withal aery becom
Ing to all figures Calico dresses made
in this stle will be neat und pretty.

The question of what shall be given
to the baby who has to be raised by
hnd Is quita an Important one and
should receive careful consideration I
have never had the experience of rear
ing n child front birth on prepared food,
but have begun to feetl at three months
and have been extremely successful.
None of the babies t have so fed have
sullcrcd witn Ihc colic, and not one has
ever had the summer complaint nor have
they ever bon constipated If Ihey
were sick at all, and that was rarely, and
usually when cutting n tooth, it came In
the shape ul n cougn, or a slight fever
I know of mothers nnd relatives who
have reared babies from tin birth on n
bottle, or w Ith spoon food And I have
studied these dillercnt cases ns closely
as I could I propose to give) ou the re
suit of my investigations bume mothers
have used oatmeal gruil, some graham,
and some havo used milk and water
alonr. 1 am Inclined to think that the
very best diet for a child who gets lobe
three months old before beginmg to feed
Is graham f.ruel, cooked In the lollowlng
manner! lake thicc tablcspoonluls uf
the flour after the fine Duller has been
sifted out of It, tie It up In a thin rag and
bull It for three hours In a quart of
water. A half teacup of this gruel,
with four tnblespoonluls of new milk,
not cream, and a little honey to sweeten
It, will make a palatable and nutritious
food for baby, I should use the same
thing for a new bom infant, only make
the gruel thinner, that Is, use less Hour
and use less milk I know of two
babies that have been most successfully
raised on this diet, nnd I strongly recom
mend it U itmeal is too rich, nnd too
heating for the blood After the child
Is four months old you can begin to use
n little brown bread, fixed in this way
llreak up your bread, which shou d
never be too fresh, in a tin cup, pour lust
enough boiling water over It to ino'stcn
It, and after It his soikcd pour Intuit
some good milk Don't sweeten this,
as baby will soon grow fond uf the Sim
pie bread anil milk, and It is hud to get
n sweetening material that is so harm
less as that in the mother s ml k Never
use cane or beet sugar. 1 Implore you
It will give the babe colds, sore throats,
Lolls, and every little trouble that comes
from uvcrrich blood Horr, or even
maple sugar, s far better. ou can get
a milk sui.ar in the drug stoics, but it is
expensive As soon ns possible, train
the child to est Its food without sweeten
ing of any kind These two foods I
have mentioned are quite sufficient for
an) child until the teeth are nil through
You can add a bit of bread and butter
lifter the child is a scar old, and ripe
strawberries nnd other fruits can tie
safety used, If you are only careful to
feed the child at regular, strictly reg
ular, Intervals, and not loo often at that,
bummer complaint is not caused by
fruit, It Is caused by ovet feeding and
diseased bowcis. I rult may Irritate
diseased bowels, but it you Veep the
tawsof life for your baby, never fear
fruit for It. Hut beware how you allow
It to cat meat. That I charge you No
child under three ) cars old lias an) ned
for meat. 1 ggs alter It Is a year old
And now, ns n parting admonition,
remember what has been said about
feeding the Infant. Kule from birth to
three months, once In three, or better,
four hours, and twl:e In the night At
four months, once In four or live hours
and once Jn the plglt, At six months
three times a dayand nut nt all in the
night That continues until f,rowth
stops when twice a da) Is sulfictent.
Our Ailments.
BORf THROATS
There are several diseases that attack
the throat ond larynx and yet people
are often mixed In their Ideas upon the
subject, and a sore throat Is a sore
throat. There is one variety, which for
the sake ol being understood by all, I
will call a cankerous sore throat. This
docs not cause the tonsils to swell, but
exudes n white substance on Ihc tonsils,
oml rapidly causes holes to be eaten In
the throat and tonsils Then there is
the sore throat wlrn.li phjslclans call
tonsilitls. 1 his dnca:e also causes the
white spots to conic and often looks to
the uninitiated like diphtheria The
tonsils are badly swoolen, nnd swallow
ing is difficult There Is no bad odcr
about this disease ind there Is a tack of
the deadly torpor and sleepiness which
accompany thphtlierli Indeed, the
appearance ol the white S ots Is dif
ferent, being a whitish white, and not
the yellow, sort of membraneous look
w hlch goes w Ith real diphtheria 1 here
Is another firm of disease of the throat
which Is called quinsv In this paper, t
shall not speak of diphtheria, but shall
given few sugi, tlons as to the treat
ment of these other three ailments
I or the canker In the throat, and In
fact fur all of these troubles, there Is no
better outward application than a rag
dipped In Ice cold water, then wrung
perlectly lr), an I put on the throat,
cov crcd cry carefully and closely w Hit
a largo flannel cloth He sure Ihc wet
rag Is thoroughly coven d, and that the
thro it Is well tnullled from the air, In
order to sweat out as It Is termed, the
Inflammation Also, for cither one of
these truublcs, give plenty of hot, very
hot lemonade, without any sugar, nnd
8 he at least two lemons In this way each
ay, and )ou can safely give six lemons.
I f oil must have some medicine, take a
garglo ol salt, and vinegar, red and
black pepper, and garglo every half
hour. I his is good for the canker; also
for the tonslhtis.
Tor qulnsv, nothing but the lemon
water, and plent) of hot water, a pint at
a time, will help thu tumor to suppurate
inwardly, and then instant relief will
be felt I would recommend you to
give a very large Injection Take this
lor two nights, and drln profusely ol
hot water, also the lemonade Give
oranges, stewed dried fruits and dry
bread, or gruels only for diet white the
attack Is on, no meat, no rich nor heating
food. U hen you take the cold compress
off In the morning, rub the throat well
with consecrated ull, and put n warm,
dry flannel around the throat If the
Inflammation Is nut sensibly reduced in
the first night, put another cold, wet rag
around the throat hi the morning, anl
keep the bundling flannels on until there
is considerable Improvement You can
wet the cloth onceln ever) six hours It
the throat Is very bad. You can give tfe
patient n sweat, if )OU arc sure to w itch
all draughts and wrap up carefully for
the afterslecp, this Is beneficial, A hut
bath Is also good, only these things
must be taken In n warm room,1 and the
patient well wrapped and most
thoroughly dried and rubbed afterj.com
uigoutof the water.

l'lijslcnl Culture.
Wccpoke last week about tho climb
ing of stairs, nnd now I want tu talk to
)ou a little bit about some other sorts
of dally and common exercise. There
Is excellent exctclse to be obtained
from sw eeping a room, If It Is done prop
erty and energetically. In the first
place, it is far more necessary for jour
good that the windows shall be wide
open when you sweep a room even In
the middle of the winter, than It Is
necessary for the sake of the dust not
getting into the carpets to wear them
out You will wear out a grcot de,al
faitcr than the carpets If you don't have
fresh air to breathe, especially when you
are raising all the microbes In the house
with your broom, nnd are setting them
afloat hi the air of your room Have
not only air, but a strong draught. It is
an excellent plan for you to cover the
hair, as the dust microbes you are driv
ing from their resting places in and
about the toomnrc not safe nor pleasant
companions to have nbout yuu. A
calico dress should aluajs be slipped on
over a woolen dress In sweeping a room,
as the dust will adhere to the woolen
very tenaciously Now that you are
properly dressed, and the windows ate
open, move all your furniture about, as
much as possible, getting It out of the
room, and then begin )our sweeping.
What I am now Interested hi to see that
you take the proper position in this
work, and not specially that )ou get the
room clean bland ns nearly upright as
you can 1 or this purpose, get a broom
hindlethatlstall enough lor jou, and
then do not try to push the dirt ahead of
jou. That wny of dourg will neither
get the room clan nor will It helpyour
bod) Don t bend over any more than
you can oss!bty Help, and what bending
you have to do, be sure it Is a bending
Irom the w alst, not from the shoulders
Keep your shoulders up and ) our mouth
closed. That last Is vitally Important
Never permit your mouth to open nnd
thus take thesu disease-breeding germs
straight Into the lungs. Hrcathe through
Ihc nose, that was wnat It was made for,
and you cant better the woik of your
Creator. Accustom yourself to using
the broom on both sides, or ) ou u 111 get
all the exercise ou the one side only,
bo much for sweeping a room
The same directions here given can
be taken for all sorts of domestic work.
In washing dishes, don't have your sink
too low, nor to high If n man had to
stand at a work table as man) hours a
day as a woman stands at a sink, he
would see to it that his table was of the
Iiroper height bo also in moulding
tread Moulding bread is a most ex
I cellent exercise It develops the arms
and client wonderfully Only, dont
I stoop I That is my one constant word
! of advice, don't stoop Young women
of thirty look like old women of sevei ly
when they stoop, and young worn in ul
seventy look like younger women of
thirty when they stand upright and trim
I am quite positive that real old age will
never touc I the bod) of the man or
w oman w ho never permit himself or her
self to stoop over 'Throw back )cur
shoulders! 'should tie printed on every
wall In the house, and throw back your
shoulders! ' should be shouted to every
living human being from the age of two
years to one hundred years old. Walk
ing Is another exercise that is thought
much of, but while it Is good lor legs
and lungs, especially If taken in the
open air nnd now especially If you walk
brlsklej.jet tliere arc other exercises
belter adapted to help a woman to keep
strong than walking
Tin l,it ea We Ue.
OUR social ItFK
There Is a condition of affairs arising
In our three largest towns, Including
Salt take City, which may well cause
thoughtful people to ask what Is the
cause thereof, and what Is the remedy
for the evil?
I speak of the vast Importance that Is
being given to social doings, and the
greedy way In which the young arc
learning these lessons of ' caste" and
"class" Irom their somewhat IndilTerent
ciders. We have all, perhaps, our
various Ideas as to the causes which arc
bringing this about, but t beg to submit
that there Is no one inotu powerful
cause than that of the manner in which
the public press have undertaken to
manage this matter for themselves nnd
all the rest or the people 1 Ills matter
of Introducing, for babbath reading
think of the consistency of that, my
friend the doings of nit the so-called
society people Into the columns of the
papers Is not a refining nor elevating
practice lhe),cod sense of the best
class of intelligent as well us wealthy
people In the cast has utterly repudiated
and scorn toalloiv the use of names or
Influence to ri porters who seek for this
sort of vicious pabyjum for the public
maw. Who ever hears of the old
Knickerbockers ol New York or of the
residents of llacon street In I oston hav
ing their social doings published In a
piper? They arc as a class, too refined
und modest to desire public notoriety,
or the flaunting forth of their Intimate
nflalisto the vulgar curiosity of the
vulgar people who hnd pleasure In such
reports It docs seem as if A person
coultl refuse to nllow ills name and that
of his family tu appear in such reports
as are found In some ol our Sunday
papers; but, ni) dear country friend I
want tu tell you that In man) instances,
the reporter boldly tells his victims that
he or she will pullsh nil that can be
found out nbout n certain part), nnd
the) can help themselves ns best the)
may. No one likes to come out In a paper
and say that such and such n re-
Eort of a social patty w as not litrnlshcd
y themselves and fimlly, but that It
was obtained by n quizzing and curious
reporter from some one who had enjoy
ed the hospitality of the host. h it Is
to be done In thesu cases? I think a
dose of such sarcasm ns l.ssay Calh
gives us once In a while In tlieNtus
would help to kill this growing evil, but
It needs, also, that the parents shall
wake up to the fict that they are tacitly
encouraging a very m irked separation
of our people into classes, of the rich
nnd the poor, not of the good nnd the
bad hose names do j ou see oflene.it
In the social columns That of' the
earnest worker lor on and her cause
or that ol the frlvilousdudelf not Ihc
rake? Who arc the women who run
after the society reporter to tell them of
this or that cvcnl? Is it the woman who
looks well to the w i)s of her houshold
In spiritual things, or the woman who
lives onlv for pleasure and frlvoht)?
Heaven deliver me nnd my family from
ever having our names appear in the
society columns of a ncwspipcr or In
the police reports I have no desire lo
pose ns a leader of society, or as a
woman of lashlon The black silk dress
I have worn lor several years is neither
new enough nor st)llsh enough to be
described by the society editress, thank
heavenl And whose business Is It what
dress I wear? This society column Is
