A Woman Known by Hr Pantry. The ability of a housekeeper is never better shown than when her pan try and closets are opened for inspec tion. When the household, reins are in the hands of a practical, clear-head ed woman oue glance along the shelves of either closet or pantry will give a definite idea of the general management. There will be a place for everything, and everything will be in its proper place. There will be no overcrowding, but room to take out each article and return it without dis turbing anything else. The articles most in use will be in the position most convenient for handling.—Mary Graham, in the Woman's Home Com panion. I'utlironm Fnrninlilnga. The bathroom is the one room in the house that receives very little thought as to its furnishing; of course, its sanitary requirements may, and indeed should always be thoroughly inves tigated, but from an aesthetic point of view It Is neglected. A bathroom may be prettily and neatly furnished, at small cost. A tarnished tin tub is an abomination. It should be ousted at once, and If possible a proce'.aine lined tub substituted. This, Including the putting in and all, costs very lit tle. The walls of the room should be light; tiled, waterproof paper is good; all the woodwork should be painted white or some light color; the floor should be stained and varnished, and partly covered with a rug; a few hangers should be screwed Into the door of the bathroom upon which hang a bath robe or other garments. When the room is large enough to admit a chair It will be found very convenient.— American Queen. Household Cloths. The very best material for a house hold scrubbing cloth is a heavy cot ton stockinet. Old stockinet under wear of wool is not so good as that of cotton, because it does not wear. Old black cotton stockings, if the feet are cut off and the seam ripped, make ex cellent stove cloths. Use them to wipe off grease or anything that falls on the stove; also to polish the stove with after the brush has been used, and thus remove the dust of blacking left behind. If this is not done this dust will scatter about the kitchen and leave Its mark all over the room. Soft, cheap cheesecloth purchased new and washed and hemmed for the purpose, makes the best dusters. Cut it in squares the size of a gentleman's handkerchief. It Is a good plan to have a few cotton towels hemmed and in order with which to wipe kerosene lamps. Put them through the wash occasionally. Chamois Bkins should be kept to wash and polish windows. It is necessary to keep two chamois skins in use at once—a small one to wash windows with and a larger one to polish them with. Two such skins will last for years if they are are properly stretched and dried each time they are used.—New York Tribune. J^// c l/S£V/C Chicken Cheese—Boil two chickens till tender, take out all the bones and chop the meat line, season to taste with salt and pepper and butter, pour in enough of the liquor thsy were boiled in to make it moist, mould it in any shape you choose and when told turn out. cut In slices. Nice for lunch when traveling. Spice Cake—One and a half cupfuls of butter, two of sugar, one of molas ses, one of milk, five cupfuls of flour, four eggs, one teaspoonful of ground cloves, one and a half teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, half a nutmeg, two tea spoonfuls of cream of tartar, one tea spoonful of soda, two cupfuls of rai sins. Cream the butter and sugar thoroughly, and add the eggs well beaten, the molasses, milk, spices, the sifted flour, the cream of tartar and soda and lastly the raisins. Bake the mixture slowly. Buttermilk BIBCURS —Two coffee cupfuls (even) of flour, half a coffee cupful of sour milk, half a coffeecupful of buttermilk, one teaspoonful ol sugar, one teaspoonful of yeast powder, half a teaspoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of soda. Mix sugar, yeast powder and salt with flour and sift; dissolve soda in two tablespoon fuls of cold water, beat Into the sour milk until It stops "purring," mix quickly with dry ingredients, using a spoon, turn on a well-floured board, pat with the hand Into a cake half an inch thick, roll, cut Into biscuits; bake in a very hot oven 10 minutes. Onion Bisque—Boll a pint of onions, using the layers left from luncheon. Pour on cold water, pour it off as soon as it boils; add cold water again, boil and drain. Put co'd wntr on third time, boll until tender. The changing of water robs the vegetable of its strong odor and renders it dell cate. When the water 13 mostly ab sorbed add three cups of hot milk. Thicken with a heaping teaspoonful of cornstarch wet in cold milk, boil three minutes, add half a teaspoonful salt, a bit of cayenne. Pass through a sieve. Serve very hot. In adding milk to vegetable soup care should be taken to boil It separately; add just before serving, that It may not curdle. A REMARKABLE AMERICAN. A Busy Doctor, Who It nixed Millions foi t'ublic Works. The late Dr. William Pepper of Phil adelphia is the subject of a biographi cal sketch contributed to the Century by Francis Newton Thorpe, which re veals a character and career too little known throughout America. In Philadelphia a bronze statue was unveiled, December 20. 1899, to the memory of William Pepper. It stands amid the ci'eations of his genius, and marks the culmination of his life work. Thirty years ago the site was a plowed field, part of the Dlockley farm; today it overlooks the buildings some 25 in number, of the University of Pennsylvania, the academic home of about 3000 students annually. Ad joining is the University hospital, the Free Museum of Science and Art, and the permanent buildings of the Phila delphia Commercial museums. Dr. Pepper was the son of a physi cian, the celebrated "elder Pepper," as he is called, to distinguish father and son. The father pursued advanced medical studies together with Oliver Wendell Holmes in Paris, when American students rarely went abroad. On his return to Philadelphia, he be came professor of the theory and practice of medicine in the university, acquired an extensive practice, and died in 1864. at the early age of 56. A few months before the father's death, the son was graduated in medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Great physicians are rare, and rarer Is the man who also is at the same time equally great as man of affairs, as educator, and as public benefactor. Such a man the son became. In 1870, at the age of 27, he projected the University hospital, and boldly set out to raise an endowment fund of $750,000. In less than four years he secured more than half a million, in cluding two appropriations of SIOO,OOO each from the legislature. The hospi tal was formally opened in 1874. Its creation was necessitated by the re moval of the university from its old site, where the postofflcc now stands. No such task had before been done by a citizen of Philadelphia, and its performance gave Dr. Pepper rank among the first men of the city. After some 30 years of action his public ac count stood something like this: Institutions founded: the University hospital, the Commercial museums, and the Philadelphia free library. Institutions re-organized and recreat ed: the improvement of the city's water supply, and an entire change in the attitude of the public mind to ward education and the ideals of life. To carry out these plans, Dr. Pepper raised above $10,000,000 and secured about 100 acres of land from the municipality, lying near the heart of Philadelphia. To the execution of this task he gave the service of one of the most acute and at the same time most practical minds ever vouch safed to man. To this service of his genius he added the personal gift of nearly half a million dollars, which he earned in the practice of an exacting profession. It may be doubted whether any other American has run a like career. His sudden death, of angina pectoris, at Pleasantown, Cal., August 26, 1898, occurred just as he had completed the first week of his 56th year. He had sought rest and health too late. His physicians said of him that at death he had the heart of a man of 80. He had literally worked himself out. A brave man, endowed with genius; a unique man. delicately aggressive, in capable of wronging his fellows, in spired with lofty ideals for the health, welfare, and happiness of his fellow men, and treating little minds as lov ing parents treat mischievous chil dren—this man had gone, and left be hind him, as Disraeli said of the Great Duke, "the contemplation of his character." Secretin* Money. An Englishman at home carries his money in his right hand trousers pock ets. gold, silver and coppers all mixed up together. The American usually carries his wad of bills in a pocketbook. the long, narrow oues in which the bills lie straight being the most characteristic. The Frenchman uses a plain leather purse. The German prefers an embroidered and beaded silk affair, the gift of some Gretchen. The South American capitalist car ries his money snugly in a money belt. The Italian of the poorer classes tie 3 his small fortune in a brightly col ored bandanna, which he secretes about his person in some mysterious manner. The Russian feels more secure when he has his money tucked away in his boots or perhaps In the lining of his clothes. Aii Olil New Enelnnil fitMnm. We know from Shakespeare's plays that the different rooms in English inns had names. This was also the custom in New England. The star chamber, rose and sun chamber, blue chamber, Jerusalem chamber, were some of these. Many taverns of revolutionary days and some of colonial times are still standing. A few have even been taverns since first built; others have served many other uses. A well-pre served old house, built in 1690 in Sud bury, Mass., was originally known as the Red Horse tavern,but has acquired greater fame as the Wayside Inn of Longfellow's Tales. Its tap room, with raftered ceiling and cage-like bars with swinging gate, is a picturesque room, and is one of the few old tap rooms left unaltered in New England. JAPANESE BABIES. Tbiy Get Good Doeee of Metiie sod Thrive Well. According to our modern scientific ideas as to the careful treatment of babies, those of Japan would seem to have a hard time, and yet there are no healthier, nor fatter looking little mortals on the face of the earth. We inßlst on a fixed temperature, on ster ilized milk, on all sorts of improved things, while the Japanese baby gets a good dose of nature, and seems to thrive on it. It is dressed and un dressed in a frigid temperature in win ter, and in summer its tender little eyes aro always exposed to the full glare of the sun, as it is carried on its mother's back. It is to be feared, however, that this latter treatment of ten does affect the eyes of the children, though they get over it later in life. At Nagasaki, amongst the women coal ers who coal the ship, you may see many with babies on their backs. The mothers work all day in the rain, or in the sun, or the snow, and there baby sleeps, indifferent to everything, the top of its head alone visible, while the movements of the mother do not seem in the least hindered, and she accomplishes as much work as the men. It seems as if the babies of this class were born stoics! —Anna North end Benjamin in San Francisco Bulle tin. A. Students' Initiation Tarty.
