the Colonel, 'is a heap ornate; but they
don't make good.' This yere is doubted
by Peets.
On evenln Dan Boggs, -who's allers tan-

like a sleepless curoslty is nacherally
&poned into Dan ropes at Peets- concernln
this topic:
" 'Whatever do they teach in college's,
Doc?' asks Dan.
" 'They teaches all of the branches re

" "An' none of the roots, adds Colonel
Sterett, 'as a cunnln' Yank remarks on
a occasion plumb slm'lar.'
"No, the Colonel an Peets don't go
lockln' horns in these differences. Both
is a mighty sight too well brought up for
that; moreover, 'they don't allow to set
the camp no sech examples. They enter
tains too high regyards for each other
to take to nawin about pugnacious, ver

"Still, as I states heretofore, the Colo
nel's information is as wide flung as a
buzzard's wing. There's mighty few mys

An from time to time, accordln' as the
Colonel's more or less in licker, he shore
enugntens Wolfvllle on a multltoode of

lerlorates If not cooked Immediately upon
being taken from its briny bed, and Is
replaced by the fumes of ammonia Baits
which no amount of heavy seasoning can
disguise.
This is why live crabs shipped to any
Inland point prove but a sorry disap
pointment; not only the delicate and
unique flavor, but the wholesomeness of
the crab is preserved by cooking while
fresh.
Hence crab meat has grown wonder
fully in popularity since the canned
article has proven sqch a success. The
food that was procurable only by the
coast dwellers and as a luxury by the
favored few, who dwelt Inland, Is now
enjoyed In every part of the country,
not only by the rldh, but by the lonely
dweller In pine woods and on the bleak
prairies; by the miner in the mduntaln
fastness and In the frozen regions of the
Klondike.
The true crab epicure, however, Is none
of these, he it is who drags his sea food
from his native element and would not
exchange his dripping prey for the high
est priced canned article.
Proper boiling is the only step involv
ing any difficulty in preparing this lit
tle sea animal for table use. If boiled
too long the flesh becomes dry and
flavorless , and sticks to the shell. From
15 minutes to half an hour Is the usual
time, varying according to the size ana
condition of the crabs.
How to Boil Crabs.
They should be plunged into warm,
not boiling water, the kettle covered and
the water quickly brought to the boiling
p"oInt This smothers, rather than scalds
them 'to death, and is the more humane
way. The crab meat cooked and the prep
aration of many delectable dishes is but
the work of a few minutes.
To Clean Crabs.
Lay the crab on its back; cut the
membrane connecting the posterior point
of the under the shell with the upper;
lift up the under shell, cut away the
spongy fungus on either side and all
objectionable substances; wash the crab
and pick out the moat from the shell
and claws. Save the ends of the small
claws for garnishing.
Stewed Crabs.
Put the crab meat into a stew pan
with butter, salt pepper a shake of mace
and a very little water, dredge with
flour and simmer Ave minutes, serve hot
garnished with the crab claws.
Like all flsh and shell flsh, the juices of
the crab are alkaline, and should always
be served with some form of acid. One
of the most delicious ways of serving
crabs is by the following:
Crab Terrapin.
Break up with a silver fork till quite
fine, one pint of the meat Mix in a stew
pan over the Are two round tablespoons
of blotter and an equal amount of flour;
add the sifted yolks of four hard-boiled
eggs, and when smooth, thin with one
nid one-half cups of cream, adding it
Krndually and cooking it two minutes,
stirring all the while. Season with salt
and pepper. A little grated nutmeg and
minced parsley mad be added If liked.
Lastly add two tablespoons of tarragon
vinegar or lemon juice; serve hot in
bullion cups.
Deviled Crabs,
Prepare as for crab terrapin and serve
on the crab shells; brush over with
beaten "eggs, cover with sifted bread
crumbs and brown In quick oven Or
put the filled shells in a frying basket
and plunge In deep vegetable oil till a
delicate brown.
Crab Croquettes.
Prepare as for crab terrapin, using only
enough cream to moisten so they can bo
shapencd into croquettes; coat with egg
and bread orumbs and fry in deep vegeta
ble olL A frying bosket Should, be used
for all kinds of croquettes.
Creamed Crab on Toast.
This method is especially nice for lunch
con or Sunday night tea. Put Into a stew
pan a level tablespoon of butter. "When
melted add one-half pint of finely flaked
crab meat two or three tablespoonfuls of
fine minced celery, one level teaspoon of
flour, one gill or one-half cup of cream;
salt and cayenne to taste. Stir gently
till the moisture is nearly evaporated.
Serve this on slices of buttered toast

Beat the yolks of four eggs, add four
tablespoons of vinegar and -cook over boil

THE MUSHROOM DETHRONED.
No Longer Regarded as the Vegeta
ble Beefsteak.
The notion has long been held that the
mushroom presented the composition of
animal flesh, which led to it being called
the "vegetable beefsteak." It appears,
however, that this conclusion has been
based on some analysis made many years
ago, when analytical methods were not
as exact as they are now. and when the
chemistry or food was not so, well under
stood. In one regard, at any rate, the
mushroom does resemble a beefsteak lft
that it contains practically the same
amount of water. But the dry, solid con
stituents of the mushroom differ very ma
terially In kind from the solids of meat
The most important difference Is due to
the rich proportion of protelds-the so
called flesh-formers In meat as compared
with the feeble amount in the mushroom.
This fact aA ascertained by recent analy
ses, hardly justifies- the mushroom being
regarded as a "vegetable beefsteak." It
may be a blow to tile vegetarian, but he
would have to consume at least 10 pounds
of mushrooms In order to gain the equiv
alent of a little over one pound of prime
beef. Indeed, in the light of modern in
quiry there seems to be no reason for be
lieving that mushrooms possess any great
er food value than other ordinary fresh
vegetable foods, and In many respects they
compare, unfavorably with them.
Still, the fresh, tender mushroom Is un
doubtedly easily digestible, and as It con
tains carpohydrates. in addition to some
proteld, it is obvious that It Is of some
dietetic value. This value Is not compara
ble with that possessed by. essential foods
sucn as meat, muic ana eggs. The musft'
room, however, contains an unusual pro
portion of potassium salts. Few will deny
that the mushroom Is an excellent ad
junct to many dishes; it has an aDDetiz
ing flavor and this quality alone makes it
dletically valuable. The Lancet
Don't Dandle.
Don't daudle your life away. Time is
precious. If you can't do anything else,
take up some special line of study. If you
can do nothing better, learn how to darn
stockings and sew on buttons. But unless
you have worked and tired yourself, don't
sit around twirling your thumbs and
looking across the street at brick walls.
Get up.
Get out
Stir around a little. Brace up. Cheer
up. Start something to doing. Be useful
to yourself or to some one else. The
woman who Is chronically Idle doesn't
know what she's missing. All she knows
Is that life Is one beautifully roseate fail
ure. Some day it will occur to her to put
her side combs in firmly, to roll up her
sleeves and to wade into some useful. In
vigorating work. She will think It quite
the jolllest surprise In the world when
she finds that work Isn't so bad after all,
and that next to being civilized and de
cent to the people around you It is what
brings the best mental rewards.

parboiling the albumen coagulates and
forms the fine black flakes that often afc
found floating in oyster soup. They do
not in any way spolj the flavor, but the
sight of them is not appetizing.
Ham Is frequently toe salt to fry with
out previous preparation. Put the slices
In tepid water and let them stand on the
back of the range to soak out the salt,
not to boll, for about half an hour. Drain
dry between towels, then fry in a hot
spider. When a whole ham Is to be baked
or boiled, let it stand over night covered
with cold water. .
If a chicken, turkey or duck has a
heavy odor, suggesting that It has been
kept too long In cold storage, clean at
once, wash inside and out with soda
water, dry and sprinkle the Inside with
bite of charcoal. Put pieces of charcoal
under th6 wings and legs, and leave over

will be almost gone In the morning and
the flesh will be found to be Ane and

Leather goods can be freshened up by
rubbing them well with a piece of soft

Silk skirts will retain their freshness

A very recent and very ewagger idea in

seaming it, to use large wrought-lron
tacks to keep it in place.
To clean cut glass, wash articles, let

In the United States or have not been
fully proved in Oregon. I have selected
them because by the consensus of opinion
of expert rOsarlans in the United States
and In England these new roses have
either been proved to be fine varieties
beyond question or give such evidence of
being fine varieties that there Is good rea
son to believe they will be satisfactory
and will be extensively grown hereafter.
Rose experts in the Eastern States, with
whom I have corresponded, write me that
this year there have been Introduced an
Unusual number of fine new varieties of
roses.
The following list of roses 16 not to be
taken as giving all the new varieties of
high merit I give those, merely, which
I consider beyond doubt. I am planting a
large number of other new varieties, many
of which I believe have come to stay.

the greatest number of fine varieties of

In catalogues published in the -Eastern
States it must be borne In mind that all
roses, except dormant budded bushes, are
usually grown under glass. For that rea
son the qualities of the various roses,
particularly the new teas and hybrid teas,
are given as the roso grows and blooms
in a hothouse. Frequently a rose which
blooms under glass is of little value when
grown In the garden. The Bride and
Bridesmaid are very beautiful In the hot
house, but of little value in the open.
Meteor and American Beauty are failures
when grown in the open.
