r FOOD FOR THE SICK.
B?w to Prepare nod Sme It la a
TcBfllng Way*
Aj the patient begins to regaJn health
and strength more solid food is given
?milk or cream toast, soft boiled or
poached egg*, cereal mushes, stewed or
sometimes fresh fruits or a troll baked
potato. Great enre must be taken not
to overtax the digestive organs. lielapses
are often caused by too much indulgence
of tbe patient's appetite at
this stage. One must advance slowly
and with great csre. A broiled bird or
a piece of rare steak or a chop may
be given wheu the patient Is In a sufficiently
advanced stage of recovery.
Oysters are almost always allowed and
are both palatable and easily digested
If perfectly fresh and not too much
cooked. When tl^ey are overcooked,
the albumen Itecomes hardened, very
tough and difficult to digest Cook
them only until the gills begin to curl.
?? ?-*.!? ?tu Iftwiw arii
urea in SOU{>* are vmuuuir, u.1 m<7 >.v
nourishing and easily digested, but
they should not be boiled too long.
A great deal of attention should be
paid to the serving of food for a sick
person. The falot appetite of Illness
can best be coaxed by the daintiness of
the food. Serve the food on a tray with
a fresh, white cover and be careful not
to put so much on the tray as to crowd
It Better to serve too little and let the
patient ask for more than to put so
much on at one time that the sick one
Is Immediately discouraged. A flower
or a little sprig of green laid upon the
white tray cloth Is often an incentive
- ^ Ala.. A*
to tbe lauiirercnc appeuie, uui \MM UVW I
attempt a rase of flowers unless it be a
very small and dainty one. Have the
tray set with tbe prettiest cblna and
Class obtainable, wltbont too mnch color,
so as to weary tbe eye. If tbe china
is all of a single pale tint, tbe effect
will be very dainty and pleasing to tbe
eye of the patient It must also be
mall enough to accommodate the size
of the tray. Never let the tray or remains
of food served stand In tbe sickroom
after the patient has been fed.
Let all hot foods be served immediately
after they are prepared, and it
seems superfluous to mention that all
hot dishes must be bot and all cold

not always done. Sometimes both tbe
cold and bot dlabea are allowed to
stand until tbey reach tbe same temperature.
Tbere are a great many almple. dainty
desserts wfclcb may be served to tbe
Invalids, especially those made wltb
eggs and gelatin. Ice cream Is often
given and la very nntrltioua and can be
digested by some very 111 patients, and
It Is almost always relished.
How to Wkltca Irory.
Ivory may be whitened by washing
well with soap and water and allowing
It to dry In tbe sun. This process
must be repeated for several days. If

another process is to put a thin paste
of lime over It until It tutus white.
It la then dried and polished.
Haw to Care In omnia.
It Is now a generally recoguized fact
that one of tbe most prolific causes of
Insomnia Is overeating, tbat practice resulting
usually in a disturbed condition
of tbe digestive organs If in nothing
more serious. Tbe remedy In sucb
cases Is obvious enough. Cases are
common wbere Insomnia of a protracted
and stubborn nature has yielded to
a period of fasting. There are few
cases of sleeplessness. In fact In which
a Little dieting may not be tried with
good effect Copious drinking of cold
water Just before retiring is often
highly efficacious. Deep breathing kept
ap as lonfr as possible by will power la
a generally recommended remedy for
occasional sleeplessness, tbe main aim
being to keep tbe mind from thinking.
flow < Stew Mwhroou.
Bemove the stems and peel the caps
of two dozen large mushrooms, sprinkle
with salt and pepper and saute for
fire minutes In a tablespoonful of butter
(hot), then add half a cupful of
weet milk Into which has been stirred
one-half a teaspoonful of cornstarch.
Stir carefully and let It boll slowly for
five minutes.
Bow to Male* Wtio Wkey.
One pint of milk heated to 100 defrees
F., one teaspoonful of prepared
rennet and two tablespoonfuls of wine.
Stir the rennet and tbe wine Into the
milk quickly, so that the wlue may not
curdle tbe milk In blotches. Let It
stand In a warm place (on tbe stove
hearth, for Instance) for half an f our.
then separate tbe curd from tbe whey
by straining. Tbe whey la excellent
for children with delicate digestion
who need a little stimulant. It is very
good also as a drink for Invalids at
any time.
Bow to Boko Cfebkagt DrtuUf.
Beat one-half capful of cream, beat
yolks of two eggs and rub one table
spoonful of cornstarch In a little cold

of vinegar and a few drops
of lemon juice.

Beat a quarter of a pound of butter
to a cream and stir In three eggs. When
this Is done, add three large tablespoonfuls

DOES A BABY PA*f ' *
I rath Mr' View of (be EatrlttJMl

Does a 2-year-?ld baby pay for itaelf op
to the time it reach** that interesting '
?r?? Sometime* 1 think not. I thought
so yesterday when my own baby slipped
Into my study and ,'?crubbed" the carpet
ind his best white dn?>?s with my bottie
of ink. He was play ins in the coal hod
ten minutes after a clean dress was put
on him, and later in the day he pasted DO
cents' worth of postage stamps oa the
parlor wall and poured a dollar's worth
9f the choicest white rose perfumery out
of the window "to sea it wain."
Then be dug oat the^center of a nicely
baked loaf of cake and was found in the
middle of the dining room table with the
lugar bowl between bin less and most of
the contents In his stomach.
He has already cost $100 io doctor's
bills, and I feel that 1 am right in attrib*
ating my few gray hairs to the misery I
radured walking the floor with him at
night during the first rear of bis life.
What has he erer done to pay me for
that?
Ah! I hear bis little feet pattering
long out in the balL 1 hear bis little
ripple of laughter because be has escaped
from bis mother and has found hia way
op to my study at a forbidden hour. But
the door is closed. The worthless little
vagabond can't get in, and 1 won't open
it for him. No, I won't. I can't be distnrbed
when I'm writing. He can jost
cry if he wants to. I won't be bothered
for? "Bat, tat, tat," go his dimpled
knuckles on the door. I sit in silence.

with laugbiug face. I catch him ap into
my arms, and his warm, soft, little trma

cheek is laid close to mine, the baby
to ice says sweetly:
"I lub my papa."
Does be pay?
Well, I fruexs be does! He has cost me

If yoa consult the usually accepted anthorities
on the speed of birda in their
flight you are likely to be misled by an
exaggeration of from 100 to 800 per cent.
This is because figures have been given
on hearsay, appearance and very superficial
observation. But recently American,
English and French observers have been
lt_
Comparing notes ana are pricuciu/
agreed. after most careful calculation,
on the speed of the best known thirds.
The; started with the carrier pigeon
and bare made bim a base of comparison.
He baa heretofore been credited
with 110 miles an bour, but it is now
agreed that be is entitled to 50l A quite
recent long distance, carefully conducted
test of 502 miles, from tbe Shetland islands
to London, showed that the most
rapid pigeons made 37 milea an hour.
On shorter distances none made more
than 50 miles.
Bits use frigate birds bare been aeen
far from land and bare been supposed
net to fly by nigbt or to rest on tbe water
they bare been credited with a speed of
from 150 to 200 miles an boar. If tbey
did fly at that speed, tbey woald bare to
orercome on atmospheric pressure of
from U~ to IOU poUDUS IU iue W|uai?
foot of flying surface. There is do certainty
that they fly more rapidly than a
passenger pigeon or that they do not fly
at night or do not sleep on the water.
The swallow, that is indeed a rapid
flier, has been credited with 180 mile*
an hour, but h? uiust be cut down to 05
miles, and tbe marten is fire miles behind
him, though authorities have placed him
ten r*iles ahead.
Tbe teal duck Is brought down from
140 to DO miles an bour. Tbe mallard la
five miles slower and flies tbe same aa tbe
canrasback, while both of these are fire
miles an hour ahead of tbe wild goose and
eider duck.
The pheasant makes 38 miles an hour,
which is three miles ahead of the prairie
chicken and quail, though the latter appedrs
to fly much faster on account of
his temporary burst of speed that seldom
exceeds 200 feet Tbe crow flies 25 miles
an hour.
Small birds appear to fly more rapidly
than the large one* and hare deceived '
many observers. The humming bird doe*
not fly as fast as many awkward appearing,
very much larger, alow flopping
bird*.?Chicago Times-Herald.
A Proud Fa Ike*.
A member of tbe New York Yacht
dub was proudly boasting to an old
friend he had not seen in 15 year* of tbe
merit* of his children. "Henry, as you
may possibly hare beard, is at Harvard.
A* yet he has done nothing for tb* family.
Arcbbold is at the Leland Stanford
university. I wanted to bring np my
sons as far apart as possible, under hopelessly
different and varying circumstances.
