FOOD FOR THE FAMILY.
Put any piece of veal in a stewpan
tvlth just enough boiling ’water to
cover it. Season
I with parsley, celery
and leeks tied to-
gether, the peel of
one lemon and one
large carrot cut in
dice. Boil for an
hour, season with
salt, then let sim-
mer until the veal
Is tender; take it out and lay it in a
roasting pan. Strain the broth; there
should be two quarts. Put a half cup-
ful of butter in a frying pan; in this
brown two tablespoonfuls of flour, then
add the hot broth and stir until smooth
and creamy. Pour this over the roast
and put into the oven to brown.
Stewed Lettuce.—This is a dish
which will use the broken or unsight-
ly leaves of lettuce and give the fam-
ily an economical green. Cook the
av^11-washed leaves until tender, drain,
then put into a stewpan with thin
slices of salt pork and a cupful of veal
or chicken broth. Cook gently for an
hour. Drain in a sieve, slightly thick-
en the sauce and pour it over the let-
■fuce when ready to serve.
German Carrots.—Cut four small
carrots into shoestring shreds. Put
two tablespoonfuls of butter into a
saucepan with a small onion finely
chopped and cook until tender, then
add the well-drained carrots, a tea-
spoonful of sugar, and let them simmer
ti^tly covered. Do not let them
scorch; add a little lemon juice and a
Sprinkling of parsley when >eady to
serve. Cream instead of lemon juice
lay be added for variety. Cooked
peas may be added to the dish also,
iving it variety. A heavy sirup, into
which is stirred two or three table-
spoonfuls of pineapple finely shredded,
nay be used as a sauce with cherry
jello. if no cream is at hand.
Chocolate and Checkerberry Pud-
ing.—Heat a pint of milk with a
Square of grated chocolate; mix htflf a
mpful of sugar, three tablespoonfuis
f flour, the yolk of an egg and a pinch
f salt, with the milk to make smooth;
dd to the boiling milk and cook until
thick. Beat the white of the egg to a
tiff froth, add one tablespoonful of
ugar and a half teaspoonful of check-
rberry, essence. Put spoonfuls of this
n a pudding dish and pfcur the cream
round it.

SEASONABLE DISHES.
EAT MORE FRUIT.
The days are past when the orange
was a luxury. It is an every-day fruit,
found in the market from
one year’s end to the
next. There ore seasons
when the fruit is more
plentiful, and then is the
time to prepare for the
season of higher prices.
It is hardly necessary to
mention that the orange
is a liver stimulant and a gen-
tle laxative, for its virtues are
too well known. The mineral matter
which it contains is not so well under-
stood, and this is the chief or one of
the chief important elements which
make the fruit highly valuable. Oran-
ges contain phosphates, which are a
nerve food and are most useful in
cases of insomnia. As a refreshing
tonic, to be entirely successful it should
be eaten at least a half hour before
breakfast. The juice strained may be
given to very young children, not too
near the milk feeding. The orange
may be served in such a variety of at-
ti active ways. Sliced oranges make a
most attractive dish. Peel the orange
and remove all the white skin. Slice
very thin, removing any seeds if pres-
ent; arrange the slices overlapping on
a small glass platter or oblong plate,
sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar
and garnish with candied cherries.
As a salad, a most delicious combina
tion is oranges, pineapple, a few dates,
and quartered marshmallows served
with any dressing made thick with
whipped cream. When oranges are
used as salad for fish or duck, the
dressing should be a French one, using
Vernon juice for the acid.
For serving an invalid, the orange
should be peeled and all the skin
from each section removed; then ar-
range around a mound of sugar and
serve. An orange prepared flower fash-
ion is a most dainty way to serve the
fruit to an invalid. Cut dowH the skin
in eighths to within an inch from the
blossom end, then strip down in points
and fold or turn them in. The orange
may then be pulled apart in sections.
Another method is to peel the orange,
leaving an inch or half inch band
around the fruit, equator fasl^on.
Then spread open and the sections are
easily removed.

Features of House Plan De-
scribed Here.
By WILLIAM A. RADFORD.
Mr. William A, Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. On account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority

In striving for something “different,”
some people are led into strange situa-
tions quite often. This is a thing to be
avoided by the average man in plan-
ning his home. He must have charac-
ter in liis house, but let that character
be something which will endure to be
admired many years after it was orig-
nated. Freak ornamentation is all
tight in its place, but its purpose
should be to attract attention not to
stimulate admiration.
Because the bungalow type of house
is especially adapted to it, there may
he more ornamentation worked into its
design than could safely be used on
builder of homes is building for the
future and it is therefore necessary,
in order that his work may live to
serve i-ts full purpose, that he take con-
sideration of two things; first, that he
insist, upon a degree of quality mate-
rials and workmanship which will as-
sure the length of life which he wishes
to obtain for the structure; second.
Ihat be insists upon «n architectural
si.vie in the design of the structure
which will be as nearly as possible in
keeping with prevailing practice dur-
ing this period of utility of the struc-
ture.
The first of these two requirements
may he fulfilled by his stating definite-
ly his desires in the matter of speci-
fications to the architect and by the
careful selection of a contractor to do
the work, who has established a repu-
tation for high-quality work. The sec-
ond requirement is largely up to the
architect, but he may be greatly aided
by his client if the latter has formed
a workable idea as to the general char*
acteristics of the building he desires.
There was a time when only the
larger residences were "planned.” The
man who had a limited amount to
spend on his house had to trust more
or less to the faith which he had in the
man who dicL-the building for him.
Today this man may reasonably expect
to see a carefully studied plan with
definite and binding specifications cov-
ering the proposed building before any-
thing Is decided upon. This develop-
ment is logical, since it is wanted by
everyone concerned—the owner be-
cause lie wants to see what his money
is going to buy, the builder because
he wishes his client to feel that his
work has fully come up to expecta-
tions.
The design shown in the accompany-
ing perspective and floor plan is in-
tended to carry out the bungalow type
of construction with some variation
in the usual external appearance. This
is accomplished by the use of a roof
design which is mainly of the hip

A chafing dish is generally used for
Informal occasions, and nothing is
more conducive to the
general pleasure than
something for several to
do to assist in the pre-
paration of the meal.
For Sunday night sup-
pers where there is a
guest or two the enjoy-
ment will be double if
they take part in getting things ready.
This is also a time to let the man of
the house use his ingenuity as well
as the children, everybody loves to
watch a meal in preparation especially
i if all the appointments are pleasing.
For the server at the chafing dish
table the chair should be high, so
that all the stirring and seasoning mav
he done with ease. The chafing dish
should set upon a metal tray, the lamp
carefully filled, all utensils needed
near at hand. Pure alcohol should be
used in the lamp, as an inferior one
gums and spoils the lamp. One of the
essentials in all work, especially ip
table preparation, is noiseless work,
so the wooden spoons are better to
use than metal ones. The carved sil-
ver affairs may be used for serving.
With the spoons as utensils for
preparations should be small recepta-
cles of salt, pepper, reiery salt and
paprika. If onion is used it should
be finely minced and placed in a small
attractive dish. All Ingredients should
be prepared beforehand, and placed in
pretty receptacles within easy reach.
A wheel tray is a most convenient as-
sistant, saving many steps, the soiled
dishes may be quickly gathered and re-
moved and all the supplies kept on if
if wished. Dainty finger rolls or sand-
wiches are the usual accompaniment
to any dishes served from the chafing
dish, these are prepared beforehand
A salad is another well-l}ked dish'
This may be either sweet or more sub-
stantial, depending upon the other
dishes served.

some of the other types of houses.
Furthermore, common practice has es-
tablished the ornamented bungalow as
a structure which is seen wherever
there are bungalows. The warning
should consist not so much in the na-
ture of a denunciation of ornamenta-
tion in general as it should be a rec-
ommendation of the simple methods of
ornamentation.
Occasionally the searcher after
fancy effects is startled to find that
the most simple designs have the
strongest appeal. There is really noth-
ing strange about this fact, for it is
true of almost every matter in which
general popular taste has an influence.
The evidence of quality, expressed in
simple dignity, is the strongest and

niost lasting manner in which to build
character into any structure.
Hie matter of cost is one which the
average man must give careful con
sideratlon. ’The question Is not, “IIow
much will it cost to build this house?”
It should be, “How much will this
house cost to build and maintain for
twenty, thirty or perhaps fifty years?”
Here again, quality and simplicity are
the things which give the fullest meas-
ure of lasting satisfaction. Surely the
type, when viewed from the front, but
which is really a combination of both
the hip and gable types. In order to
balance the appearance and relieve the
wide area of shingled surface, a little
dormer is built in front.
The sides »f the house are finished
in beveled siding. The porch is built
up of cobblestones capped with white
stone or concrete slabs. The corner
columns are carried part way up with
the stone and are then relieved with
tapering square wooden columns. The
floor of the porch is of concrete. This
house is preferably finished in some
dark shade with white trim.
Since the railing of the front porch
is carried quite high, this porch may
he well utilized as another room dur-
ing the months when the temperature
will permit. The living room is en-
tered from the porch, the door being
at one side of the steps rather than
in front of them, as is usually the case.
I he large fireplace is directly in front
of the door as (he living room is en-
tered. This living room is not an ex-
tremely large room, but it is very cozv
and should furnish the family a great
deai of comfort. A narrow bay is built
into the front wall having one large
and two small windows in it. There
are also two other windows in the
room.
I he dining room is a somewhat larg-
er room than the living room and is
fitted with a buffet in accordance with
modern practice in house design. Tha
utehen has the cupboard handv to the
fim.ng room and the sink Is placed un-
der the two windows winch furnish
.’I for this room. The refrigerator
is placed in the rear entrv, that the
ice man will not track dirt into the
house.
A hall which leads back from the
(lining room makes the two bedrooms
nnd the bathroom accessible from the
front of the house. The basement is
j also entered from this hall. Each bed-
room is provided with a large closet.
All rooms are made pleasant with
plenty of light, and there is no reason
" li.v any part of the house should evei
be dark or stuffy.
A large basement is provided which
nia-v i'o found to be of great service
111 fhat It not only provides for a laun-
dry, furnace room and vegetable cel-
lar, but It also furnishes a place to
store any articles which might be in
the way on the upper floor.
Michael was larger, stronger and
/nore intelligent than the other dogs
attached to a certain division of the
trench army and-he-was a general fa-
vorite among the soldiers. Michael, al-
though most “sociable,” centered his
particular affections upon a young
I rench soldier named Henri. Every
day at the soup hour Michael would
appear carrying a tin can and place it
beside Henri, who would fill it as he
did his own, and they would dine to-
gether.
llie day came, however, when Henri
failed to return, and as the men stum-
bled back again to safety Michael
scanned, with anxious eyes, every
pale, haggard face, his sensitive nos-
trils quivering with dread.
When the last man had been
accounted for and Henri was still
missing the animal darted toward the
battlefield and after some time re-
turned, greatly excited, and carrying
an old half-glove which belonged to
liis friend. He could scarcely wait
for the attendants to bring a litter
before he started off again, his
great, intelligent eyes imploring them
to hurry.
In a remote part of the field they
found the young fellow lying still and
cold. After a hasty examination the-
attendants left him for dead, hurrying
away to succor the Jiving, but Michael
refused to be convinced. Again and
again lie returned for assistance, ac-,
cording to Our Dumb Animals, but
in vain; so he mounted his solitary
guard, his face almost humanly ex-
pressive of grief.
The attack took place about sun-
down, and it was not. until”late that
night that comparative quiet settled
down upon the trenches.
Suddenly the moon flashed out from
behind a cloud, and the alert sentinel
peered sharply about, then brought his
rifle swiftly to his shoulder.
Not 20 feet away, creeping slowly
towards the trenches, but halting ab-
ruptly every minute, loomed a large,
dark object. The sentry advanced cau-
tiously, finger on trigger, demanded
curtly, “Who goes there?” followed
by the stifled exclamation, “Michael!”
Michael it was, gasping, panting,
but still the same old dog Michael—
but not alone. Behind him, parts of
his uniform literally torn away by
the dog’s teeth, lay Henri, dragged
from the battlefield, inch by inch, by
the devoted animal. And miracle of
miracles, the boy was actually breath-
ing.
How the animal had accomplished
such a difficult task : nd escaped the
vigilant eyes of the field attendants
will forever remain a mystery, but lit-
tle, fragile-looking Henri ultimately
recovered.
Couldn't Fool Willie. “
• “Sis,” cried a boy, bursting into the
parlor, where a young lady was seat-
ed on the sofa with her best young
man.
“Yes, Willie,” was the young lady’s
reply, as she drew the small brother to
her side and kissed him. “What do you
want?”
“I want to tell you something.”
“All right, go right ahead.”
“Won’t you care what I say?”
“No, I guess not.”
“Well, then, I know why yau kiss
me every Wednesday night.”
“I kiss you because I love you, Wil-
lie, of course.”
“That ain’t the reason, sis!” and the
boy edged slowly toward the open
door. “You kiss me so George can see
what he is missing.”
Not Long, Though.

Starlings and Crows Chums.
An interesting fact regarding the.
crows is their intimacy with the star-
lings. The starlings first appeared in
this country in 1S90, and it was not
more than ten years ago that flocks of
them began to be seen about Hartford,
yet now the crows associate with them
in as friendly a manner as if the two
species had dwelt together for millen-
niums. The starling does not fear the
crow, and the crow does not act in a
domineering way toward the smaller
bird. The two together make a search
of garbage piles and live in unity with-
out the least trouble, though they have
nothing in common but their desire for
food.—Hartford Courant.
Had Them Trained.
When a negro was arrested in St.
Paul with a hen under each arm, two
persons claimed the booty. A police
sergeant said the one who could prove
ownership could have the chickens; so
one of the claimants sat quietly in a
chair and called, “Come, Snooks,” a
white hen flopped up on his knee.
‘Now, Becky,” and the red hen perched
on the other knee. “Take ’em,” saiq
the sergeant; "they’ro your’n.”
