WASHING THE DISHES.
Doing This Jeb Only Once a Day, it Is |
Said, Saves Time.
“The careful housekeeper will always
resent the suggestion that ounce a day
Is often enough to wash dishes,” writes
Dr. H. Barnard in ‘““Table Talk” in the
National Food Magazine. “She cannot
train herself to allow soiled plates and
# silverware to stack up from one meal
to the next, for she has been taught
that such actions are evidence of shift-
less, slovenly housekeeping. As a mat-
ter of fact, along with many other no
tions which are fixed in the operation
of the home, both time and energy are
saved by cutting out two of the three
daily dishwashing jobs.”
Dr. Barnard goes on to recite the ex-
perience of one housekeeper who actu-
ally dared study the homely work of
dishwashing. One week she washed
@ishes three times a day; the next week
she washed each day’s dishes alto-
gether. She used the same number of
dishes each day in both weeks.
and forty-one minutes a day to wash
them once a day.
This took account only of time, but
there was a’ cousiderable additionai
saving in or fuel consamed by
heating waier once instead of thrice g
day, to say nothing of the saving in
soap.
SALT IN THE FOOD.
Why Its Flavor at Times Is Too Weak
or Too Strong.
The average housewile wouders why
she often over or under salts her
dishes when she “knows” that she
salted them just right, as she always
did and as the recipes called for.
The reason is just this: The season
ing value of diferent brands of salt
varies widely. This is easily proveaq.
Take five slices of ripe tomatoes; apply
equal parts of five makes of salt upon
the separate pieces. Eat as soon as
salted. The difference in flavor, per-
meafion, rapidity and equality of dis
solution and seasoning value are read
fly detected.
A table salt should be fine, the crys
tals of equal size, quickly soluble and
free from ingredients which absorb
moisture from the air. Large and
small crystals will not dissolve uni-
formly; consequently the full salting
effect is not obtained until the large
erystals are dissolved. The quickly
soluble salt diffuses itself through the
food at once and gives an equality of
savor. Sticky salt is an intrusive nut
sance.
Failures in salting are largely due to
ehanging from one make of salt to an-
other. Get the best grade, grow ac-
ceustomed to its use and stick to it~

Single File.
When the Indians traveled together
they seldom walked or rode two or
more abreast, but followed one anoth-
er in single file. It has been thought
by some that this practice resulted
from the lack of roads, which com-
pelled them to make their way through |
woods and around rocks by narrow
paths. If this were the real reason
for the practice, then we should expect
to find that the tribes who lived in |
open countries traveled in company, as
do whites. The true reason for jour-
meying as the Indians did in single file
seems to be a feeling of caste. This
feeling was at the bottom of other
customs of the Indians. It made their
women slaves and rendered the men
silent and unsocial. This peculiarity
is Asiatic. How it has warped and
disfigured Hindu life is well known.

A Once Lega! Fiction.
tober is worthy of notice, as on that
day, in 185? “wo individuals, though
personally known to no one and enjoy-
i ing an extensive reputation among law
| yers, ceased to exist in England, These
. persons were Johan Doe and Richara
| Roe, and no two persons were more fre-
i quently referred to in legal documents.
In every process of ejectment, instead
of the real parties to the seit being
named, John Doe, plaintiff, sued Rich
| ard Eoe, defendant. Their names were
{ also inserted in criminal proceedings.
This fiction “was introduced into Eng-
lish legal practice in the time of L4-
Jard IIL, in consequence, it was said,
of a provision in Magna Charta which
required the production of witnesses
before every criminal trial, and hence-
forth John Doe and Richard Roe were
inserte¢ as the names of the alleged
witness, a custom which was earrie¢

A Well Hated Landiord.

for the last 100 years, a miser knowp

ate became extinct. His Irish estate
| extended from Athenry, in Galway, to
| Woodford, twenty miles southeast, and
it was said that anywhere along this
route could be obtained a story of trag-
edy in the land war. Time and again
{ the aid of the forces of the crown in
evicting tenants had been refused. He
was never seen in a vehicle, He took

{on a public seat, not one of the chairs,

a small fee, would sit this owner of ,
60,000 acres watching the squirrels. He !
was a noted collector of china and pic
tures, of which he was a wise buyer.—

Horse breeding is an occupation
which requires much learning, and a

A neighbor of his who sought some
advice on the cheap, asked the herse

ther’s horses is ill what does he do?”
“Do you mean just slightly ill or real

question.
“Oh, seriously ill.”

hat, and it was thought bad taste if the
