Connolly Wallace Connolly Wallace Scf anion Shopping Cente sume a semblance at least of freshness, FOR THE WOMEN Of TODAY AND TOMORROW This Is how it may be done by steam ing but little trouble.

Dampen the bread or rolls slightly with warm water, roll them In a damp napkin, place in a colander over the tea kettle and let them steam slowly until the crust Is tender. Should they accidentally become too soft place the colander and its contents In an oven for a few moments until the crust Is slightly dried. rfri1 3. mmL lliiiliiiiii Whole Wheat Mtffflns With Honey. Use whole wheat flour or fine graham.

If coarse graham be taken thten ift it and throw out a part of the bran before measuring. All flour should be sifted before measuring and never taken as it conies from the barrel or eack packed more or less solidly. Take three cups of whole wheat flour, four level teaspoons of baking powder, two tablespoons of sugar and one teaspoon of salt all measured level and sift them together. Mix with one and one half cups of milk and two tablespoons of butter melted. Beat and bake in muffin tins in a hot oven; do not let any quick dough stand round before putting it into the oven.

Serve the muffins in a napkin folded so as to form a case. is the purest form of natural sugar and is especially good with the muffins. It is not an expensive sweet because so small an amount can be eaten at once. Whole wheat flour may be overrated as regards healthfulness but it Is certainly better than the whitest flour or the graham which contains coarse bran which is irritating to the digestive ogans. Graham is often a poor grade of.

flour with enough bran added to make it look like the whole wheat flour which reliable dealers keep or an of the health food stores, of which there are so many kinds. ALICE E. WHITAKER. For the Table. When only the straight edged variety of lettuce can be procured, shred It with an extremely sharp knife or ecissors for about two inches deep eround the edge.

It will make a pretty fringed effect, is easier to eat and will not bruise the leaves if it "is set in a colander on the ice directly after cutting. Pretty luncheon oranges are made by cutting a piece off the top of each orange and taking out all the pulp. Cut the edge of the orange, peel in points, and mix the pulp with shredded cocoanut and sugar. Add a tea epoonful of sherry or creme de mcnthe to each glass, pile a little cocoanut on the top and serve with a sprig of dark green leaves on tne plate. Just a delicate cheese flavor may be imparted to spaghetti by prepar ing it with a cream sauce and serving it in a cheese shell.

Add a roux of flour and butter in proportion, to two tablespoonfuls each to a pint of milk, and simmer the spaghetti already cooked tender in it for ten or fifteen minutes. After it is turned into the cheese shell let it simmer for a few minutes in the oven. To give a lovely old fashioned flavor to a loaf cake, wash and dry rose geranium leaves and lay them on a plate. Turn the cake out on it, leaving it there until quite cold. The steam absorbs the flavor of the leaves, giving it a more delicate taste than any rose flavoring can possibly do.

91 The Sunday Night Sapper. Always have in the house on Sunday plenty of eggs, also ham, boiled, which can be bought at the butchers already cooked. Cut it in very thin slices. Have chafing dish ready and put first in the blazer a piece of butter the size of a large walnut, when bubbling add the sliced ham and two or three eggs well beaten.

Add only the whites, chopped fine, one teaspoonful of salt, a dash of cayenne, the juice of half a lemon. Cook about ten minutes and A 4 4 last of all grate over the yolks of the hard boiled eggs. Grilled Sardines. Two tablespoonfuls of butter, choose the boneless sardines, skinned and drained. When the butter is hot add the sardines.

When cooked turn them. season with salt, squeeze over the juice of half a lemon and a dash of red pepper. Chicken au Surprise. Have the meat cut In dice, allow one tablespoonful of butter to each cup of chicken. While the butter is heating grate in the quarter of a small onion, one tablespoonful of flour stir red in a cup of cold milk.

When it is boiling add two cups of chicken and a little celery salt. Season with salt and pepper. Lyonnaise Potatoes.

Pare off and slice some cold boiled Bermuda potatoes, place them in a salad bowl, sprinkle with chopped chives, chervie and parsley, season with pepper and salt and tarragon vinegar; mix well and serve cold. Welsh rarebit is a favorite dish to be prepared on the table, but as each family is possessed of its own recipe it would seem to be hardly worth while to give details for making it. A frequent drawback to a hasty tea is encountered in the staleness of bread or, rolls in localities where legis lation prevents the baker from exer cising his calling on Sunday, whereby absolutely fresh rolls or bread become an impossibility. Of course, we cannot get hot biscuit without ample, time for preparation, therefore it Is well to ponder on some method of treatment which will cause Clever Hats FOR MEN.

At the coming term of common pleas court, which opens one week from tO' day, five divorces are listed for trial by jury, a rather unusual occurrence, as the vast majority of divorce actions are heard by the judges in their turn, sitting in chambers, and thus never come before a jury. Among those that are listed for trial is that of Rollin S. Myers, of Carbon dale, against his wife, Harriet. He is the man whose father died not long ago in Wiikes Barre, and left him a half million dollars. For years before that Rollin was a news vender in Car bondale, earning from $12 to $16 a week.

He accuses his wife of intimacy with other men. She says he wants to get rid of her now that he has gotten on easy street. to make way for a younger and hand somer woman. After the divorce ac tion was begun, which occurred after he came Into possession of his fortune, she had to support herself by taking in washing while he had more money than he knew what to do with. The court made an order directing him to pay her $40 a month while the action is pending.

The next one listed is that of A. Capwell against Josephine Capwell They live in Benton. Another is that' of Rozella Fritz Comegys against R. Ernest Comegys, the latter being a resident at present of Perth Amboy, N. J.

Desertion is al leged by the wife. Comegys de nies that he deserted her, but alleges that she, on the other, hand, wouldn't reside where he was willing to make a home for her. IN ORPHANS' COURT. Judge M. F.

Woman Advocates Law Compelling Them to Support Orphan.

CHICAGO, 111., May 6. That bachelors should be compelled to support dependent children In public Institutions was the position taken last night by Mrs. Abble 9. Shoen, a wellknown lead er in women's clubs, in on address to the Dickens club. Said Mrs.

Shoen: "If I had the. framing of a law for the taxation of bachelors I would have each taxed for the maintenance of a child now being cared for by an institution or by the state. Not only would I have that child educated, clothed and fed. at his expense, but under pain of divers penalties I would have him brought into direct personal contact with the child." Tobacco and Microbes.

I With the evident purpose of murder, Frank Chiro, formerly of Dunmore, last night stabbed Tony Tobia, of Maple street, a few inches above the heart in a saloon near the corner of Maple street and Meadow avenue. As Tobia fell face downward on the floor among the horror stricken crowd cf Italians standing before the bar, Chiro ran out the front door, up Meadow avenue, and made his escape in the woods before the others hardly realized what had happened. The injured man was carried by his friends to the Laurel Line and imme diately brought to this city.

He was treated at the State hospital, where it was found, after a thorough examina tion. that the man will recover. The knife came Very near striking a vital spot. According to the story of Tobia he. was set upon by Chiro without provo cation.

He had hardly got inside the door of the saloon he said, last night, when the other rnan, who was sitting in a chair, sprang to his feet, drew an ugly looking knife and plunged it into the breast of Tobia, It was learn ed that both men are shoemakers and have always been rivals. The stabbing occurred between 6 and 7 o'clock. The South Side police aid not hear of it until 10 o'clock, when a brother in law of the injured man droDDed in at the station house and put the guardians of the peace on the scent. At 1 o'clock this morning Lieutenant Ridewav. of the North End precinct, surrounded the house of Chiro in the 1300 block of Providence road, and found the fugitive in bed.

He was taken orotestingly to the station house and central city police were nou fled of the capture. The knife was also found with which the stabbing was done. It was an or' dlnarv shoemaker's knife, with a keen edge. Lieutenant Kldgway was assist ed in making the arrest by Patrolmen Lutz, Thomas and Stevens. He Won the Wagon.

A man's curiosity got the better of him In a Back Bay lodging nouse one day this week and he paid for it, as is usually the case, says the Boston Globe. He said he hadn't seen tne lanrUniiv during his stay of three months, the rents being paid to the and 9. friend to whom be made this remark said that she was around about every day In fact, he wouldn't be surprised if she was i the house then. Tn tst his confidence he was wlil inif wncer the cigars that she was there, and his doubting friend con sidered it too easy a thing to lose, so he said, "Agreed." Then the man who was certain proceeded to win easily. Seizing a plate from the table he dropped it upon the floor, and in less than a minute the woman of the house was on the scene inquiring about tho cause of the noise.

The doubter was satisfied. in Clever Pupil. Durln the geography' lesson the other day, a bright boy proved to his teacher that he knows what is going on in the city, says the Detroit Free Press.

Devine, head of the? Red Cross, says that while this represents a large amount of supplies it is nothing to the amount which the city will need efore people can feed inemseives. Already, It Is understood, the Jealousy between Pacific coast cities, over the Oriental trade is beginning to make itself felt in San Francisco. The Pacific Mail company has received advices that an attempt is being made in Seattle to divert Oriental trade to that place by the representation that the San Francisco lines cannot handle the business. The refugees in Oakland who have been accustomed to the decencies of civilization probably need night clothes or changes of clothing as much as anything. Few saved any more clothing that what they threw on themselves after the earthquake.

Many others lost their clothes at the ferry during the scramble on the second and third days, so they have been sleeping in their day clothes for two weeks, and for the most part these people 'hate the thought of themselves. The cleanly Chinese camped at Lakeside are just as unhappy. Fortunately, they have water for bath, a necessity among the Chinese, and sorrie of them have solved the clean clothes problem by taking off and washing a garment at a time. This Chinese camp is in charge 6f city missionaries. Heathendom has triumphed over them In this time of distress, for the most godly Christian house god has returned to th gods of his fathers In this time of great fear, and every one of the small quakes which we are having now Is followed by a chorus of gongs beaten to drive the earth devils away from the Chinese camp.

ONLY PINNATED GROUSE. Massachusetts, says the Springfield i Republican, has In a cover down on Martha's Vineyard, a colony of eighty or more pinnated grouse, scientifically known as the Tympanuechus cuspido, Marvelous as It may. seem, these are said to be the only living represen tatlves of this species in the entire world. Natural history museums, taxlder mists and students of nature have been pursuing them for years, until now specimens are" said to be worth anywhere from $100 to J200 each. Recently a bill was passed in the legislature putting a close time on these birds until 1911.

The penalty for killing a pinnated grouse or having one in one's posses sion is $100. HKherto the fine was $20, which was not enough to discourage hunting for museum speci mens. Dr. Field, chairman of the Massachusetts Fish and, Game association, says: "The pinnated grouse formerly roamed all over the country from Maine to Virginia and east of the Allegheny mountains. "It Is a most delicious food bird, but it has been hunted to the vanishing point.

The flock at' Martha's Vineyard is the only one in the world. I intend to put a man specially In charge to protect tt from specimen hunters." Motor Boat in Italy. The use of motor boats has in creased very much at Naples, and is capable of Indefinite development.

There Is no sea on and it Is believed likely that the heavy ship will not be injured.

May Have Had Third Eye. Recent studies of the ekulls of the morosaurus, the dlplodocus and other species of the extinct gigantic animals called the sauropoda, have brought out he fact that in several of these creatures, although perhaps not in all species, there existed on the top of the skull a well defined tubular opening, smoothly lined witn bone, and leading directly down into the cerebral cavity. Prof. Osborne regards It as probable that in this opening was lodged a large pineal, that is, cone shaped, eye, an organ the existence of which was left problematical by the researches of the late Prof. Marsh.

In a recently restored skull of the morosaurus the orbits are of enormous 1st. Havt You a House to Letf If Havt Property for salt, try the columns of The Republican and see how quickly you'll dispose of it tf Bewitbt a Tha Kind VooHaw Always txjt Blfutut.
