When the Science of Medicine Wat Emerging From State of Igno rance Docton Had to Adjust Selves to Circumstances. The Idea that a horse chestnut In four pocket will cure rheumatism or that the wearing of a red string on the finger will stop nose bleed, and many other foolish beliefs which still persist are part of our heritage from the days when what is now the sci ence of medicine was only a curious mass of superstition. For centuries mankind bad little or no accurate knowledge,,of the nature of disease and Its causes. Among all races, at some time or other, the be- Costume of a French Physician In the Early Eighteenth Century A Curi ous Combination of Foolish Super stition and Scientific Truth. lief prevailed that illness was the result of evil spirits and that a cure could be effected by frightening them away. A good example of the long struggle which science had to make to over throw suspicion Is shown In the curi ous costume worn by French physi cians In the early eighteenth century when treating sufferers from the plague. The garb represents sound scientific knowledge In the protection it gives the body against infection, and is quite similar in this respect to that worn by physicians In plague-stricken districts today. But the big, staring glass eyes and the huge artificial nose, which served no useful purpose, were survivals of the idea that disease wsb caused by evil spirits which could be frightened away if the physician's appearance was sufficiently terrifying. New York American. Made Queer Mistake. A Pittsburgher who passed througn Washington on his way to New York is wondering what kind of specimens of humanity blow Into the national capital. He says he had taken a Penn sylvanta avenue car going up town from the station, and he sat next to a mild-lookinK old gentleman who seemed to be wrestling with some se cret sorrow. When the cor turned the corner of Fifteenth street the shake-up brought the old fellow out of his reverie and he looked up to see the monument towering over the ad jacent vicinity. "Pardon are," he said to the Pittsburgher, "may I ask what that lofty structure over there Is?' That's the monument," said the Steel City man, who spoke of It as Wash- Ingtonians do. "What monument?1 Inquired the old gentleman. "The mon ument to Washington, of course." The old gentleman gazed at it abstractedly until It was hid from view. "That the first time I ever heard of a town erecting a monument to itself," he said slowly and to nobody In particular. Dignity. War at last became very costly, so costly that the plain people who paid the bills were about to take upon themselves the responsibility of abol shing it. But the politicians and others came forward with an expedient. "Let us,' suggested these, "sell the moving pic ture rights." "Wouldn't that be in derogition of ;he nation's dignity?" asked the plain people dubiously. "Not at all. You don't quite under stand about the nation's dignity. The aatlon's dignity is all right where you want to start something, but where it stands in the way of its own vindica tion It becomes very absurd," the poli ticians and others made haste to ex- slain. Endless Anticipation. "It Is well that the pleasures of an ticipation mean much to us," remark ed the Plunkvllle philosopher. "For instance?" "Now I love grand opera and when ever I see a grand opera company billed for Plunkvllle I anticipate its arrival with keen delight" "Well?" "But before the date scheduled the ;ompany usually busts." Between Women. "What do you think of men wearing feathers In their hatsT" "Bad sign," declared the other lad. 'The feathers are small now, I know, jut they may Increase in size, and few 'amllles can afford to buy ostrich flumes for two." Pittsburgh Post. READ DRESSING FOR STEAK Many Prefer Meat Prepared In a Casserole to That Broiled In the Regular Way. If you wish to stuff a flank steak use bread dressing; use It with veg etables and a small quantity of liquid In a casserole. If you do not own one (and you should in these times of high prices) use any tightly covered dish. Be sure It Is tight so the steam cannot escape. Bread Stuffing. Two cupfuls soft bread crumbs, one-half cupful butter melted In one-third cupful hot water or milk, one-quarter teaspoonful pow dered sweet herbs or spiced poultry, seasoning, one beaten egg. Mix the ingredients together thoroughly. The bread should be 24 hours old and taken from the center of the loaf. The seasoning Is a matter of indi vidual taste, so you can use the above quantities or suit your taste. The egg may be omitted If the flank is to be eaten hot, but will slice better when cold If egg Is used. Cracker crumbs give a drier stuffing. Spread your flank steak with above and roll tightly. Fry out some suet and then brown the flank so as to hold the Juices. Put in casserole, add little water and when half done sea son with salt and pepper, chopped onions and plenty of fine minced vege tables or rice, whichever you may prefer. The flank is quite Juicy, so you will need but little water. It lacks flavor, so the high spices and vegetables make up what the flank lacks. It Is much better this way than broiled as regular steak. DO YOU KNOW THAT- Pickles will never become moldy if you put a tiny bag or muBtard in the ton of the receptacle in which they are kept? If your silk dress looks rusty you can revive it by sponging it with wa ter in which potatoes have been boiled? Mice can be most successfully ex terminated If you stuff all their holes with a piece of rag which has been dipped in water and then in cayenne pepper? A very quick way to cool a hot liquid Is to pass it through a clean cloth saturated with cold water? And if the liquor is soup no trace of grease will remain? If you lay your silver away in com mon flour it will remain bright for some time? You can warm over meat much more quickly if you wrap it In greased pa per? The steam will prevent the meat from becoming hard and dry? Perspiration stains can be removed from a thin shirtwaist by soaking It in cold water, to which you have add ed a little sodium bicarbonate before it has been washed? There is a new square meshed veil ing that is much liked? Hot-Water Chocolate Cake. Two tablespoonfuls butter, one cup ful sugar, yolk of one egg, two table spoonfuls cocoa dissolved in one-half cupful boiling" water, one teaspoonful of soda dissolved In one-half cupful boiling water, one teaspoonful of bak ing powder, sifted with one and one half cupfuls of flour and one teaspoon ful of vanilla. Mix In order given and bake In square tin about thirty min utes. Frost with white of egg beaten stiff. Boll one cupful sugar In little water till It hairs, then turn on egg and beat till stiff. When Steak Is Tough. To make a tough steak tender, put three tablespoonfuls of salad oil and one tablespoonful vinegar on a large flat dish. Lay the steak on the mixture and let it rest in this way for half an hour, then turn it over, and let It rest another half hour In the same quan tity of vinegar and oil. The toughest steak will yield to this treatment and be nice and tender when served. Beefsteak Pie (English). Cut two pounds of round steak into strips, roll in flour and arrange in deep dish with three lamb's kidneys, which have been cut up and parboiled, one dozen oysters, one onion minced fine, parsley, dried thyme. Dot gen erously with bits of butter, and add two cupfuls hot water. Cover with a biscuit crust orrangea in strip Brush with yolk of egg and bake two hours in a moderate oven. Wine Jelly. Take a half box of gelatin, soaked in a half pint of cold water for 15 minutes, and add three gills of boiling water and two-thirds of a cupful of sugar. Let this come to the boiling point, then add seven tablespoonfuls of bebt sherry wine and two teaspoon- fuls of French brandy. Boll up once, strain and cool. Cape May Omelet. Soak one-half cupful stale bread crumbs In milk. Beat one egg well, add salt, pepper and a tablespoonful melted butter. Add one-half cupful canned corn and mix with the bread crumbs. The mixture should be quite thick. Bake in a buttered dish just long enough to set the egg and brows the top. Rendering Leaf Lard. A quick way to render leaf lard is to cut It In strips about the size that will fit into a meat grinder, using the largest opening, which will allow it to come through very fine. Put in kettle and place in a hot oven until the lard Is extracted, strain through cheesecloth and put in crocks. ROCESS OF STEWING REGULATION OF HEAT 18 THE MAIN CONSIDERATION. 3n That Account It Is Best to Use Gas, When Possible Glazed Earth enware Jar Should Be Re ceptacle Employed. Stewing Is a method of food prepara tion that approaches the soup-making process. It is to some extent a pro ceeding that decuples a middle posi tion between boiling and baking; the latter is often called roasting. In itewlng, the cook's endeavor should be to extract from the meat its nutri tive juices, and then to employ those luices, suitably treated, to finish cook ing the remainder of the meat. For mccesBful stewing, the most impor tant point is the power of regulating the heat at which the operation is conducted. In order to stew success fully the heat must be absolutely un ier the cook's control. The up-to-date cook, therefore, prefers gas for stew ing purposes on account of the perfect control that can be exercised over the temperature. For successful stewing, meat should be divided Into small portions for the easy extraction of the juices. Where bones exist, these should be broken into small pieces, and form an under layer in the stewing vessel. The meat and bones ought always to be placed in cold water and the water should cover everything in the pan or jar. The lid or cover should be carefully secured, and the temperature must be gradually raised to a steady heat, which must, of course, be below boil ing. The extraction of the meat juices then proceeds, and when vegetables are to be added to the stew they are placed in the vessel at a later stage Boiling and stewing are by no means the same process. The proper tem perature for stewing is about 180 de grees Fahr. As almost everybody knows, the boiling point is 212 Fahr. A glazed earthenware jar with a tight-fitting cover Is most useful for stewing meat, or for making soups. If it has no cover, one should be con structed by fitting a plate or saucer on top of the jar and brown paper should then be tied over it. A jar with cover saves this trouble, and is, there fore, worth the extra expense. Earth enware or stone Jars are very easily kept clean, and food does not spoil when left in them, as it may do if left in a metal pan. They can be placed on the top of the stove or In the oven when It is necessary to reheat the food contained In them, or If placed In a pan of boiling water the contents of the jar will cook slowly without attention from the cook. A meat Btew can be served in the jar In which It has been cooked, if it is neither too large nor too high. It must of course, be wiped dry and a napkin may be neatly folded around it. By this process the great advantage of a very hot dinner may be obtained in the coldest weather, even when the whole family does not reach the home at exactly the same hour, as a stone or earthenware jar, having been thor oughly heated, will retain the heat for some time. American Cookery. Lobster Cutlets. Melt one teaspoonful of butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour and cook thoroughly. Add one cupful of boil ing water and cook until thick, stir ring constantly. Add two cupfuls of chopped lobster meat. Season with salt, paprika, lemon juice and minced parsley. Take from the fire, add the beaten yolk of an egg and cool. Shape into cutlets, dip into egg and crumbs and fry in deep fat. Stick a lobster claw into the small end of each cut let. Bean Pot Roast. Take one pound of beef, a cheap cut is Just as good If It is free from veins. Cut In pieces about an inch square. Put In all the fat, too. Put in a bean pot, just cover with water and put In the oven. As water boils away add a little more. When about half done add a little salt. When ready to serve take from oven and put It in the spider. Thicken with a little flour mixed with water. The gravy la a rich brown. Creamed Sardines, Remove skin and bones from two boxes of sardines, then add four finely chopped hard-boiled eggs, five table spoonfuls of bread crumbs, two table spoonfuls of melted butter, one and one-fourth cupfuls of milk, one-half saltspoonful of salt, big dash of red pepper. Heat this mixture to a boil ing point, then pour It over four slices of buttered toast. Fried Cabbage. Shave very thin enough cabbage to fill a quart measure. Put in granite Btewpan, sprinkle with salt and pour on two cupfuls boiling water. Cook rapidly until water has evaporated. Then add two tablespoonfuls milk, one of butter, a dash of pepper and fry brown. Raw Carrots. Take nice, fresh, crisp carrots, scrape and put through a food chop per, using the coarse knife. To eacn pint of carrots add two tablespoonfuls melted butter, one teasnoonful sugar and salt leaves. to taste. Serve on lettuce When Washing Overalls. All the paint marks can be removed from overalls by letting them soak for a day in turpentine.
