There is, even on this side of the grave, a. . woman's paradise, where there are no dishes to wash, nor pots to scour, where the cooking, when it is not completed by nature, is the duty of the man, and yet where, in spite of or because of this, the standard ot cleanliness is high, but not higher than the excellence of the dietary-- where the people are tall and strong and comely. This happy place lies in the South Sea Islands, which Stevenson found so fascinating, and so many since his time have lingered in. A lady who has recently paid a visit to Samoa says: "There is no washing up to be done, because all food is served on leaves, which you destroy afterwards. There is no scouring, because the food to be cooked is carefully wrapped in leaves (the leaves of the breadfruit tree, or of the banana or plantain are most fre- quently used). The cooking stove consists of a stone-lined hole in the ground outside the hut. After a fire in it has thoroughly heated the stones, the viands to.be cooked are wrapped in the leaves, put in the hole, and carefully covered up. There they cook SIX WHEN USING _ I ' 9 WILSON s, "riii'iitjt,i.:i, READ ‘DIRECTIONS " _ _,?iliv,lci'i,'si):,is. <APEF0Ll.Y AND W§\ FOLLOW THEN ""ic-.iiifji'ssz"-iicac- RS _ EX ACTLY Fats:"" w: HOUSEKEEPING .

After they have served their purpose the leaf cooking utensils are destroyed. -, Mew generally do the cooking; in tact, no woman may interfere in the cooking of the breadfruit, which is the stable diet. It is taboo for her. When it is not prepared in the manner de- scribed, this gift of kindly nature is boiled. Bananas, another staple food, are nearly always eaten boiled in their skins. Another food, tohnd in quanti- ties in the swampy lowlands, con- sists of the tubers of the plants which we call elephant ears-a sort of yarn, which, of course, has to be cooked. Most ot the cooking, however, is left to nature, and a very good job she makes of it. Many of the nature cooked foods enjoyed in Samoa by natives and Europeans alike come from the cocoa palm. The simplest of all these is the milk, which is the common drink. Delicious and refreshing, they de- scribe it, and quite different from kava, a more precious drink used on ceremonial occasions and extracted from the crushed leaves of a kind of pepper tree. The traditional and pro- per way to prepare it is to have the leaves chewed by a bevy of chosen maidens, who spit out the juice into a large vessel. Kava is served on all State occasions-notably at the open- ing of parliament. It is not intoxi- cating, they say, butoit indulged in too freely it has a paralysing effect on the lower limbs,, balancing one supposes, its clearing and exhilarat- ing effect on the brain. But to return to foods. Laulau is a delicious cream served for every purpose-tor which the cream of milk is useful, made from the flesh of the cocoanut desiccated and squeezed in a clean cloth: Europeans use it in their tea and coffee, on their por- ridge, with their fruit and in the th nut salad is varied by paw-paws, gr las, guavas and oranges-the growing on acclimatised trees very delicate and fairy lik, there are grosser dishes. We must blame the Europe: most ot them. It . was Cant. We must blame the Europeans for most of them. It' was Capt. Cook who introduced to the island the domestic pig, without which, roasted whole, no feast or banquet is now complete. He also brought in the domestic fowl, which are also eaten. But the fairy-like fish, flashing their brilliant and iridescent colors in the depths of the translucent waters have provided food ever since the islanders could catch them. paration of food, certainly take a hand in catching it. It is a common sight to see them, standing thigh-deep in the water, their eyes enclosed in thick-rimmed glasses, peering through to the sands beneath. They are look, ing for a certain sea-slug esteemed a special delicacy. When they see it, they duck, head and glasses under the waters, and come up with hands full. And they have always been clever at it. And here the women, if they have not much to do with the pre- paration of food, certainly take a hand in catching it.

Won- derful they are as any creatures imagined in fairy-tale. They are year, but at deadly pqison knows when. On one night of the year only can palolo be caught-wld the night dit-. ters in neighboring islands, be they go close. This fish is supposed to lurk at the bottom of the ocean all the rest of the year, and to rise to the surface for one night only. Then the islanders go forth in their canoes with buckets. It is so thick on the surface that they have only to scoop it up. Back they come and prepare the one palolo feast on the memory ot which they must live until a year has passed. Large land crabs, shiny black patched with vivid scarlet, offer yet another variety to their diet. And on such things they can live, free and careless. Relieved as they are from much care in the kitchen (which is reduced ta the cooking hole well outside their homes), one might think that .the women of Samoa. spend themselves on their houses. But "these are sim- plicity themselves. They consist of a dome-shaped root , supported on strong poles or palms, and coming low to form deep eaves. There are no walls. JNo nails at all are used in the construction of the houses. The poles are bound together with strips of bright-stained seurut, a substance got by spinning cocoanut fibre. Their floors are made ot nicely-laid shiny-black pebbles from the beach. The furniture consists of some woven mats-the art of the very fine weav- ing is, however, passing, and a few pots and some drinking vessels made of halt-co-ut spells brightly polished and delicately Carved-mot a household on which to spend many back-aching hours. So there is time for the elegancies of life-and they indulge in them. They sing sweetly and dance merrily. lu m they "rlpen" it, by tanning it with their wings until it has become thick, and much of the water evaporated. After it is fully ripened, they put an airtight capping over it made from pure wax. It is estimated that it requires 40,- 000 trips ot a honeybee to gather one pound of honey. As a worker bee wears itself out in about six weeks in a heavy honey flow and then dies of overwork, it is evident that it takes a great many bees a great many trips to gather a single pound of the honey that you buy for a tew cents. ood food TALKING HONEY After the bees have completed the work of gathering, storing and ripen- ing the honey, there is still a great deal ot work to be done by human hands before. the honey is ready tor your table.

Tomatoes are one of the easiest products to can because they contain a high per cent. of acid. . Carelessness in grading, blanching and properly sterilizing are probably the cauge of spoilage. There are times when the bacteria which causes the spoilage are par- ticularly virulent. To prevent their action the greatest care must be exer- cised with either the open kettle or the cold pack. How Full a Jar Should Be For Pro. cessing: This depends upon the pro- duet.. It it is rich in starch like corn, one-MY inch from the. top. Other- wise one-fourth inch. Results if Cans are Filled Too Full: The liquid will be forced out during processing so that the cans will not be full. Rubber rings may be pushed out ot position or covers sprung. yhuh'4.5 Y.tyf.cf.4 P.r.VP2.5p Amount of Water For Processing: Water should come 11/2 to 2 inches above the tops of the jars. To keep the product, the whole jar from top to bottom inside must be sterilized. It the water covers the entire jar you are sure of results. It the boiler has a tight fitting cover, a blanket of hot steam would probably surround the Jar tops even if the water came only to the neck of the jar and sterilize the product as well as the hot water. One or the other condition must exist. Temperature of Water When Jars Are Placed in the Water.. Water should be hot so the sterilization will start immediately. The time of wait- ing for the finished product is les- sened because the water can be heat- ing during the preparation of the products. There is no harm done in placing the jars in cold water and waiting for the water to boil before counting time. h When to Begin Processing Fruits When the water 1 bath.

If done t1 use l made cup, wate If the floor is stained but not var- nished, then the most stisfactory fin- ish is an oil finish. The wood may be oiled with warmed paraffin or boil- ed linseed oil. The warmed oil will penetrate the wood and oil it so thor- oughly that future grease spots, scratches and stains are less likely to be made. Whether plain oil or oil stain 1'st used, the object is to get the oil into the wood. The first coat will probably all go in so that in a few hours there will be almost nothing to wipe ott. Several coats of oil on the floor will give a good finish, each coat making the floor a little darker than the first. Oiled hardwood' floors gives good ser- vice, with the exception of the care needed to keep them clean. Use light oil for these, like qemon or paraffin. very thin and rub off every bit that has not been absorbed. F There are handy floor oilers and polishers to be had which lessen the water.
