The American breakfast, compared to the English meal, is quite in the be ginner's class. Here is a simple break fast menu for August, taken from an English cook book: Bloaters on toast, collared tongue (whatever that may be), hot buttered toast, marmalade, white bread and butter, brown bread, and bread and milk. Another?Pigeon pie, stew-ed kidney, milk rolls, dry toast, brown and white bread, mustard and cress, milk por ridge. A person who could digest such breakfasts as these in August ouglit to make a good soldier. It is said, and Justly, that Americans eat too much,. but we certainly are low on breakfasts, compared to the English. We need follow no law except that of the Individual in preparing our ; breakfasts, as each individual has d& ! a 4 vna + a Vi i # UVllIf fa OT1? | DiicD petuixcu iv mnifTcii. x-1 uii. <0 v? joyed by some and a source of dis tress to another. Cereal Is energy to one and a "a 6oggy mass of indigcsti bility" to another. CofTee, the fragrant, refreshing cup, a joy 'to many, is blamed for much of which it is inno cent. Then there are the "no breakfast" advocates, an arrangement which cer tainly has ita good points, for it does away with the hurried meal presided over by no house mother or a frowsy one. Such a beginning is not a good start for the day's work. A dainty breakfast, well served, is of far more value to the individual than the more food properties served. A l!ar better day is in store for the man who leaves his breakfast table in an agreeable frame of mind, and he will return, usually, in the same mood. No greeting, however smiling, or din ner well prepared, will atone for a hurried scramble at the breakfast ta ble. It has been well said that children, to be well trained, should begin with their grandfathers. To have and serve a successful ,meal, we must begin the day before. A meal well planned is usually a successful one. qr S9| HERB is no mystery about hap JR- piness whatever. Put in tha right ingredients and It must come out. FIGS AND DATES. We are in the habit of thinking thai dates, flgs and raisins are confections, tidbits and luxuries. They are, in a measure, but contain much food value, and are much more wholesome for children to eat than too much of the so-called fresh fruit with which they are provided. These dried fruits are both nourishing and economical, as they take the place of more expensive foods. Dates have a food value in calories of 1275 to a pound, while the much used potato has only 295 to the pound. Stuffed Dates.?Boil rapidly7 with out stirring, one-half a cup of granu lated sugar and a quarter of a cup of milk. Keep the granules from for;n fng on the sides of the pan, by swab bing with water. When a soft ball forms when dropped in cold water, pour out on a platter and beat with a wooden spoon until thick. Add a quarter of a cup of shaved walnut or pecan meats and mold quickly in a sheet a quarter of an inch thick. Stone dates and stuff with the mixture. Date Dainties for Travelers.?Stone dates and stuff with a mixture of nut meats, candied ginger, candied pineap pie, roasted almonds and fondant fla vored witL lemon juice. Roll each one in granulated sugar and pack in lay ers in a tin box, covering each layer with parafine paper. These will keep indefinitely. Fig Brittle.?Melt a pound of sugar in a saucepan, stir in a half pound of figs chopped fine, and pour into a greased pan a half-inch thick; cut in strips and serve. Nuts may be added with the figs, if desired. Oriental Cream.?Soak a tablespoon* ful of gelatine in a fourth of a cup of cold water, dissolve it in a fourth of a cup of hot milk; add a half cup of sugar, set into a pan of cold water and stir until it begins to thicken. Then add the whites of two eggs beaten stiff, a third of a cup of each of figs and dates chopped, and a half pint of whipped cream. Turn into a mold ind chill thoroughly.

HIS MIND UP IN THE CLOUDS Professor Imagined Appeal Was From Fido, and the Situation Became Embarrassing. A great lover of animals, ProfesBor Dryasdust was much given to having bis pet dog sitting beside him at meal times eating tidbits from his own lit 4.1 -1-4. uiu yitue. The other evening he was at a dinner party, and his partner was a very great lady, who was proud of her title. s But the professor paid absolutely no attention to her. His mind switched off on to some abstruse point and he was lost to the world over the problem. The duchess did not approve of this, and presently, to attract his attention, she pulled him gently by the sleeve. "then the professor woke up. Grab bing a half-picked chicken bone fiom his plate, he thrust it under her startled nose. "Don't bother Just now, Fidol** he said curtly. "Here, take this and go, and eat it on the mat, lilie a good dog gie!" Height of Assurance. A man was changed with stealing a horse, and after a long trial the jury acquitted him. Later in the day the man came back and asked the judge for a warrant against the lawyer who had successfully defended him. "What's the charge?" inquired the judge.
