MALTA BEND, MO. The Kansas City district conference and Sunday school and Epworth League convention met in its twentieth session in Malta Bend. The district conference, with the Rev. W. H Wheeler, D. D., presiding, opened at 8:30 a. m. with devotional exercises, conducted by Rev. James Rhodes. At 9 o'clock the district superintendent, Dr. Wheeler, took the chair and opened the conference for business by the Rev. F. D. Woodford, assistant, and appointing the necessary committees, etc. However, every afternoon was given to the Sunday school and Epworth League to hold their session. The first day afternoon, August 6th, was opening day. A great many delegates were present, but all of the officers absent save Mrs. Mary Lee Henderson, the treasurer, from Lexington. There was some guessing as who would be the next president of the Sunday school and Epworth League convention. In the forementioned session Mrs. Maud M. Brewton of Mason City, Iowa, had easily won the presidency in the minds of many. Before a vote was taken at 2:30 p. m., Dr. Wheeler in the chair, and he stated we were ready for the nomination and election of officers for the Sunday school and Epworth League convention. In a moment five persons were on their feet and every one of them nominated Mrs. Maud M. Brewton for president for the ensuing year. She was elected unanimously. I as one was in the organization of this Sunday school and Epworth League convention nineteen years ago in Sturgeon, Mo. We have had seven different presidents, including Mrs. Brewton. We that know emphatically confess and pull our hats off to the wise and prudent jurisprudence of Mrs. Maud M. Brewton. Her rulings during the four days' session were almost faultless. Our own Rev. Fred Douglas Woodford rejoiced greatly when he discov- LIKLY ered his charge, Mason City, Iowa, had a delegate that was able to win the highest office in the convention. Hurrah for Mason City, Iowa. Three cheers. We believe our Sunday schools and Epworth Schools will be persuaded to awake to duty and use their opportunities for good in the Kansas City district, as they have not been properly cared for for several years by the presidents as they should. The duty of the president to correspond with her officers and if possible to visit each Sunday school district.

Farmers Cannot Distill Their Own ‘spirits Now, Bacauee Product Must Have Strength of Not Less "Than 90 Per Cent. Aleohol. Washington—Did congress play ote on the American public Whes, Seven yourn ago, it enacted a law Der ‘ltting the manufacture, sale and use ‘ot taxtree denatured alcobol? This Droduct, which it_waa then expected fhe farmers would be able to make from potatoes, waste grains, frlts oF the refuse from various crops, would change the character of couniry life completely, it was claimed, Glowing Sccounts were neat oUt over the coun: fry telling how denatured slcobol trou be used to Tight and beat the farmer's home, cook the meals, fur Disb power to churn the butter, rua the farm machinery, pump the water fand even take the place of gasoline as tual for the motor ear. -A® one man Sxpressed ft several daye ago, the coustry for awhile went “denatured Alcohol craay” at the time the law ‘van passed. Congress put the tax-free denatured alcohol on the statute books, but ‘Americans are dolng practically not tng to develop the industrial alcohol dndustry., Why Baro farmers not ta: Hee ta ahentarea nlesbon ee? fe. i nS A number of people have been asking (hemselves this question for some time, but it has remained for Senator Harry Lano of Oregon to be the frst to step up, and ask the question out loud, having put his inquiries to ad- ministration officials within the last few days. Secretary McAdoo, whose department administers the law, is much interested in Senator Lane's plans to uncover the reason or rea- sone for the law not working out sat- ‘Ywtactorily, and be has requested the Oregonian to furnish him with a brief on the subject. Senator Lano believes that the law and regulations which now govern the making of denatured alcohol are drawn so that It {8 practically tmpos- sible to make the product at a price to compete with gasoline. He wants changes made to benefit the farming iaterests. The regulation which re stricta the daily output of an indus- ‘trial alcohol distillery to 100 gallons fs the principal trouble maker in the starting of the Industry in this coun: try, because it has been demonstrated that mo factory can operate econom- feally on auch a small output. Ex. perts in both the agricultural and treasury departments agreo that the 100 gallons daily production restric: tion makes the law as {t now stands somewhat of a farce, A system of In- ‘apection by government revenue off- cers {s prescribed, which is s0 costly to the distiller that it becomes impos- sible to manufacture industrial alco- hhol at.a cost even to approach the price of petroleum products. Farmers cannot distill thelr own Genatyred alcohol now, because the product must have a strength of not es than ninety per cent. eleohol. ‘To ‘manufacture alcohol of such strength fa stil costing many thousands of dol- lars is required, and department off- clals have yet to find a single farmer who nae been able to go to such a large expense. Alcohol of fifty to sixty per cent. strength can be mado ‘with a sti! costing only a few dollars, such as almost any farmer can make. Jn encovraging the building up of ‘an industrial alcohol industry in this ‘eountry, Senator Lane and the de- partment officials with whom’ he bes talked agro generally that the gov- ‘ernment must guard against the mak- ing of “moonshine” whisky by un- scrupulous distillers, who might be pretending to make denatured alco- fol. The Oregonian thinks that {t should be as easy to rogulate this mattor in the United States as it fs in Germany, where large amounts of po- tatoes and other agricultural products ‘are turned {nto denatured alcohol. ‘Agricultural department officials are such interested in the ‘establishment of an industrial alcohol industry in ‘this country. According to Assistant Secretary B. T.

Sir George H. Dar, win, in Ais theory of tidal evolution, traces back the earth-moon system to & hot, oblate sphere covered with a solid crust some thirty-five miles thick. ‘This as yet moonless, planet may be pictured as whirling upon tt. aelf with terrific apeed in a period of five of our hours. Tides created by the sun and the acceleration of rote. tion caused a weakening of the cen- tritugal force, and at a critical point this instability overcame gravitation and some 5,000,000,000 cuble miles of molten matter was sundered from the earth and hurled outward to revolve tn close proximity to the parent planet. | Now, waen we scan the earth atten: tively ‘for indications that may con- firm this origin we are confronted with many Inatruetive facts. Prof. W. 1H. Pickering bas shown that if the earth be viewed from a distance in space, directly above a point 1,000 miles northeast of New Zealand, the Jand areas that compass this waste of ‘waters are disposed in an almost per- fect circle. This roughly circular chasm, the Pacific, is more eloquent of the creation epie of our moon than written volumes. Jn his inaugural address delivered at Columbia university, New York, in 1908, Prof. Albrecht F. K, Penck spoke ‘on the gregraphical and geological similitude between the eastern coast of North America and the western coast of Europe, as follows: “In a very remarkable way these two sides of the Atlantic repeat the same structural features; there is an astonishing symmetry, as Edward Buess has shown clearly, In Sweden ‘and Finland we find the same round- ed and glaciated surface, the same numerous lakes, as in Canada, It Is very interesting to see how the Appal- ‘achian region ends at Newfoundland, forming the projecting eastern corner of North America, and just opposite in south Ireland, in south Wales and Cornwall and in Brittany the belt of the old Hereynian mountaina of Eu- rope begins. Marcel Bertrand matn- talned that we have here to deal with the two ends of one: very extensive belt of mountains which extended through the north Atlantic ocean.” ‘Commenting on this part of the lec- ture, Prof. Andrew H. Patterson of the University of North Carolina sald: “Prof. Penck is evidently not consid- ering this (tidal) theory at all in his lecture, and yet it seems what he hos to say lends a greater probability to the thecry."? ‘That the great oceans which cover the earth are permanent in place Is ‘evident from the fact that the average height of the land above sea level fs about 2.250 feet, while the average depth of the seas and ocean Is 13,360 feet. Thus the average depth of the water fe over six tlmes the mean ele- vation of the land. ‘A strong argument for the perma- nence of the continents ts the fact that no marine deposits of any geo ogic period extend over an apprecia- ble portion of each continent. This should have been the case if they were once covered with oceans for any. length of time, and the failure of such continuity of marine fossils Is proof of the Immunity of the land from past submersion. ‘Osmond Fisher has shown that ob- servations made with the pendulum on Islands proved the suboceante crust to be both thinner and denser than the crust under the continents. After the moon had been hurled from the present ocean basins these latter would be thinner than the continental crust, but would solidify and become ‘compact when the water vapor in the air condensed and ran {nto the basins. ‘To ihe silvery orb that illumes earth's dark nights, then, we owe not only our tides, but our vast and ‘deep oceans themselves, To her we owe ‘also the more important continental ‘reas cn which high types of mam- malia could evolve. For without the lattor habitat we-must ever have re- mained—-collectively as well as indi- vidually—ot a very low order of men- tal development, a race of cold blood- ed fishes, or at best amphibians. ‘The anclent dwellers in Arcady boasted that their beatific race came Into “exfatence before the moon her- self, but they were probably Ignorant of the period they claimed for thelr ancestry. They must needs. have ‘mounted back in t!me some 57,000,000 years, in which case their race would be hallowed, indeed, by prelunar antl- auity.

The guitar belongs largely to the better class of Negro men. Ethiopian damnels are somewhat like the Spanish damsels. If you wish to hear plantation melodies with variations sung with natural harmony, go to the important cities and towns of the south and get in touch with anose sons of Ham who go about serendling nights. Obtentimes when Miss Sallie and her suitor are sitting on the plaza inhaling the fragrance of the night as the moon sends down its soft gray light they defend their hand of voices ring out on the big lawn: "Oh, dark, dawns, won't you meet there, where the moonlight seems to glitter?" But if you wish to hear real, soul-stirring songs, go among the camp meetings and hear them sing "Little David, Play on Your Harp." This is the verse: Little David, play on your harp, Hallelu! Hallelu! Little David, play on your harp, Hallelu! "D" for little David, "G" for Goliah, And "D" for little David, who slew Goliah. Little David, play on your harp, Hallelu!-Henry Allen in the New York Tribune. Fifty years ago virtually all negroes were farm hands, and few owned their own farms. Now, while agriculture is still the predominant occupation, there are negroes in every line of work, and 900,000 farms are operated by them. They own more land than is embraced in the state of South Carolina. Thirty thousand negroes are engaged in business. They own 64 banks capitalized at $1,600,000. The "Yearbook" says: "No other emancipated people have made so great a progress in so short a time. The Russian serfs were emancipated in 1861. Fifty years after it was found that 14,000,000 of them had accumulated about $500,000,000 worth of property, or about $36 per capita. About $200 a family. Fifty years after their emancipation only 30 per cent of the Russian peasants were able to read and write. After 50 years of the 10,000,000 negroes in the United States have accumulated over $700,000,000 worth of property, or about $70 per capita, which is an average of $250 per family. After 50 years of freedom 70 per cent. of them have some education in books." When such facts as these are considered, it is evident that the negro is making good progress. The harvest season is the most trying of the year. There is so much to be done, so little time to do it in and so few hands to accomplish it, that we are often at our wits' end. Let us, however, have a care lest we attempt too much and lest we put too great a burden upon the wife and daughter. The sanitariums are filled with men and women who have endured down from work and every at middle life. The utmost that we can hope to gain is not worth such a fearful sacrifice. Thomas B. Kalane, a native of Africa and a student of Wilberforce university, spoke at the colored men's branch of the Y. M. C. A. at Indianapolis a short time ago. on "The Habits and Needs of Africa." The dormitory of the new building is filling a long felt want as it gives to the young men the opportunity of having good. rooms. The rooms are filling fast and the committee of management is elated over the success thus far attained. Vigo, Spain, has 43,000 inhabitants, who depend largely on fisheries. Within a radius of ten miles from Baltimore, we are told, there are a good deal more than 100,000 Negroes, the largest number in the same area anywhere with the single exception of Washington. The only northern cities (not counting either this city or Baltimore as such) having large Negro populations are New York, with 91,700, and Philadelphia, with 84,450. The German navy has converted an old torpedo boat into a combined tugboat and ice breaker for use around Berlin. The judge of the Small Debtors court in Topeka, Kan., was recently appealed to by a small creditor—a newboy, nine years old, who had sold nine copies of a weekly magazine to a man without being able to collect one of the 45 cents that was due him. The judge served a notice on the man, who promptly paid his bill. The boy paid nothing for the service. The South African government will erect a large mill to encourage the cultivation of sugar cane in Zulu-land. The remarkable progress which the Negro race has made in America since its emancipation is strikingly shown in the fifteenth anniversary edition of the "Negro Year Book." While the Negro race is known to have achieved many notable times during its period of freedom in America, the tabulated record shown in the Year Book will prove astonishing, even to the warmest friends of the race. The chronicle of attainment is really staggering when it is realized that this race has been under handicaps which probably have no parallel in modern history. In 1882 having practically nothing of its own in the United States, with all but an armored car, Negroes held in bondage, the Negroes of country today own hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of land, security and other property. Negro farmers in the south are cultivating about 42,000,000 acres of ground, of which they own more than half. In the state of North Carolina alone Negro realty holdings are estimated to be worth $29,832,328. The race owns church property valued at $57,000,000, has built or aided in the building of numerous educational institutions for its own uplifting and upbuilding, fosters charities and fraternal organizations, has its own financial institutions, has produced notable contributors to art, music and letters and boasts a quota of really great men who compare favorably with those produced by any other race. Negroes are a stage of development in the same period of time. Statistics are offered to show that the ratio of Negro criminals to the Negro population is not much greater than that of the whites, while it is less than the proportion among numerous classes of immigrants. Appeal, was made to President Wilson by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People against the agitation looking to the segregation of the Negroes and whites employed in the government departments in Washington. Since the new administration came into power presiding over the government, he brought to the executive and legislative branches of the government to bring about such a reform. The appeal to the president declares such an act would be not only a "gross injustice" to the Negro race, but that it would be also "the most hateful kind of discrimination." Segregation, it is contended in the petition, not only would limit the chances of the Negro for promotion and admittance to the white workforce it would be exasperated or "new racial outrages." The corner stone of the eastern negro branch of the Louisville free public library was laid at Louisville, Ky., recently. Mayor Head presided during the ceremony. Many negro ministers, principals of the schools and teachers gathered to express their appreciation. Aside from the program Mayor Head presented, the differ-ent members in the crowd to speak a few words that the audience might know of the gratitude of the negro people for this library. This is to be the second negro branch of the Louisville free public library, the first one erected being at Tenth and Chestnut streets. According to an English parliamentary committee the production of all of London's electric power in a few large stations would save 6,000,000 tons of coal a year and greatly lessen the smoke nuisance. The Maryland court of appeals, in a preliminary opinion, holds "that the mayor and city council of Baltimore may, in the exercise of its police powers, validly pass an ordinance for the segregation of the white and colored races without conflicting with the provisions of the Constitution of the United States or the state of Maryland." The opinion, however, declares invalid on technical grounds an ordinance approved by the mayor in 1911. An ordinance will be drawn up to meet the legal exactions. Henning Berger, whose play, "The Deluge," has been taken from American production next season, is a Swedish dramatist, for a time lived in Chicago. He is now resident of Baltimore, where the play was first acted. When he came to this country he was unknown, and after arriving in Chicago he was compelled for some time to do odd jobs to make a living. A glass bottle blowing machine in vented in Germany has a speed of 2,000 bottles an hour, equal to the work of 250 expert glass blowers. F. J. Haskins of North Adams, Mass., has a collection of hand-made nails that were taken from an old house. The nails are all made of steel and are practically as good as when first driven into the wood. They are crude in shape and size and many of them have heads on only one side of the shaft. The nails have been in the building for 40 years. A spring reel that takes up the slack wire of desk telephones is a new convenience for the business man. Ingenious sliding racks for silverware instead of the usual shelves feature the bottom of a new sideboard. The government of Uruguay has organized an institute of geology with an American director and assistants. A sixth of an ich of scale on the interior of a boiler will cause a loss of 13 per cent fuel efficiency. A new drinking fountain for poultry utilizes an ordinary fruit jar, easily replaced if broken, for the reservoir. BASEBALL A report is circulated in Southern league circles that Charley Starr, captain of the Mobile team under Mike Finn, will branch out as manager himself next season. He may succeed Finn at Mobile and then again he may have a desire to go elsewhere. Doc Ayers, a southpaw, who will report to Washington in the near future, pitched and won a double header for the Richmond team, and when Griffith heard how his youngster was being worked he was hot under the collar. Bill Carrigan, the newly appointed manager of the Red Sox, expects his team to beat out Cleveland and Chicago in the race this season just as soon as his pitchers get working again. --- If Benton takes his case to the national commission he will have a very slim chance of making the Cincinnati club pay his salary for the time he is out of the game as a result of his injury. --- Clyde Milan, the speedy Washington outfielder, says that the catchers are showing improved form in the American league this year, and that it is harder to puffer than before. Griffith has added another southpaw to his staff in the person of Harry Hedgepeth of the Petersburg team of the Virginia league. The youngster is said to be a giant in the league. A Sloux City critic says Brother Fred handed Josh Clarke a bunch of lemons in the three recruits sent the Sloux from Pittsburgh. Not one of them was of class A quality. them was or chose A quality. Hughee Jennings believes Frank Chance will give New York a winner next season. Hughee even thinks that Chance got the best of it in the Chasee Zedler-Borton deal. "Times certainly have changed," says Manager Birmingham. "Young sters nowadays will not sign up unless you give them a bonus. Isn't that the limit?" Ed Konetchy, the Cards' first sacker, has missed but four chances out of 1,116. He has a good chance to beat Frank Chance's fielding record of 966. --- Right fielders top the list of lead-off men in the batting order. There are five of them just now—Moeiler, Daniels, Murphy, Moran and Hooper. Beals Becker is hitting so well he has taken Sherwood Magee's job in left field. Magee is doing grand service, however, as a pinch hitter. Joe Tinker is building up a team for next year. He bought Second Baseman Rawlings from the Victoria Northwestern league team. The hottest race in the American league is that between Fisher and McConnell of New York to see who can lose the most games. Smith of the Boston Braves seems one real find. The young man is hitting well over 300, and can play any position, infield or out. Pitcher Wolfgang, who was released to Denver last spring by the White Sox, has been doing grand work for Manager Hendricks. If the Browns were only as high in the percentage table as Carl Wellman is tall, then Connie Mack might be doing some worrying. Pitcher Dick Robertson in the South Atlantic league, so far holds the record for consecutive wins. He won seventen straight. Herbert Moran of Brooklyn comes pretty near to the top class as an outfielder. He is very fast and a good judge of fly balls. Frank Schulte, after watching Larry Lajoie slam the ball all over the lot, declares that the Frenchman is king of all batters. Jake Fitterty, pitcher of the Evansville Central league club, shut out Terre Haute, not allowing a hit during the nine innings. It is said that Charley Herzog, in fielder with the Giants, may figure in a trade that will send him to Cincinnati next year. Friends of Rube Marquard, the big left-hander of the Giants, claim that he is developing into a second Christy Mathewson. Jake Daubert is the real slugger in the National league. Jake has been at bat 314 times and has hit for a .357 average. Another idea of a waste of railroad fare is for any major league team other than the Athletics to send a scout to Baltimore. The Red Sox have purchased Jimmy Cooney, start shortstop of the Worcester team of the New England league. Ft. Worth's new outfielder, Connrite, pronounces his name Concrete, and, of course, the wags have to have their loke. Bill Killifer, backstop of the Phillies, is one of the best throwing backstops in the league. Cy Morgan, cast-off Athletic twirler, is wanted by a number of big league clubs. Eddie Collins leads them all in run getting. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER JOHNSON GIVEN SILVER CUP Walter Johnson, the premier pitcher of the American league, was recently presented with a silver loving cup filled with money by the fans of Washington, Oliver P. Newman, chairman of the board of commissioners of the District of Columbia, is shown making the presentation speech. He is holding cover of the cup to show the inside filled with money. More than $1,100 was subscribed by the fans for this token to their idol. Walter is shown standing at the left of Mr. Newman. He looks place at the ball park in Washington just before the game with Detroit started. Connie Mack, when asked concerning the ability of George Brickley, the Everett High school baseball player, says he is satisfied with the youngster and thinks he has found another schoolboy wonder. Christy Mathewon has an average of .672 for the thirteen years that he has been in the big leagues. Manager McGraw says "Big Skir" is without an equal, considering all points. Eddie Plank is being termed the slowest pitcher in the American league. Stall off the batter, says Eddie, and he gets over anxious and then you have him. Joe Tinker is showing the baseball bugs that he can play third base as well as short. The Reds' leaders has put Marty Bergermann at short. Manager Connie Mack believes that Bob Shawkey will prove a valuable addition to the Athletics' pitching staff. Snell, the former captain and catcher of the Brown university team, is being groomed to play first base for the Red Sox. The latest report concerning the travels of Albert (Red) Nelson had him with Buffalo in the International league. And now they are talking of the Yanks getting Mike Donlin. Donlin might be a big help to the New York team. Clark Griffith believes he has the speediest trio of outfielders in the league in Moeller, Milan and Shanks. The Phillies have the four best extrabase sluggers in the league in Cravath, Luderus, Lobert and Magee. Manager Chance says he will have a real pennant contender next season. SPORTING WORLD The Longwood Cricket club, near Boston, the oldest lawn tennis organization in America, is the first to construct covered courts in this country. The new building will be of steel and stucco on terra cotta blocks, 120x102 feet, and 35 feet high. It will contain two full-sized double courts. --- A unique feature of the sporting arrangements at the 1915 Panama-Pacific fair at San Francisco will be a huge ice hippodrome costing $200,000 for ice sports which by special processes will be fit to use even during the heat of the summer sun. Long-distance golfing has become something of a fad in England. Two golfers recently undertook to play from Maltastone to Littlestone-on-Sea, a distance of about 35 miles, in 2,000 strokes. They succeeded in doing it in 1,887 strokes. The Lancashire Pigeon derby, said to be the most famous bird race in England, was participated in this year by 6,625 birds, representing 2,000 lofts. The birds flew from Nantes, France, to Lancashire, England. --- Until the 1916 Olympic games are held in the Berlin stadium various contests will take place there to enable the German athletes to become familiar with the various kinds of sport. Dr. Emanuel Lasker, chess champion of the world, will defend his title against A. K. Rubinstein of Russia in April, 1914. On an extremely hot day an airboat man could hike to the polar regions for a bit of ice and get back in time for dinner. Los Angeles light harness horsemen plan to bring eastern horses there some time in October for a big meeting to be run off at Exposition park track. --- Not in many years has the attendance at the trots been so great as it is this year. Harold S. Vanderhilt will take his yacht Vargent abroad to race. Poston is to 1. new baxing club. ECONOMY IN THE HOME HOUSEWIFE MUST APPROACH IDEA WITH COMMON BENSE. Many Methods of Avoiding Waste Really Are More Costly Than the Ways They Supplant—Saving Must Be Worth While. There is a great deal of talk about the waste which constantly occurs in the household. Housewives, some critics assert, do not understand the fundamental principles of economy. Waste which would never be tolerated in the running of a big business on in the homes of the land every day. In a big rubber factory a little while ago there was a chemist who thought that he could obtain sulphur, which is needed in the manufacturing carried on in this plant, from old rubber. The sulphur used cost a few cents a pound. The chemist finally performed a method of extracting sulphur from the soil by submitting his method to the factory heads. It was a perfect method. The sulphur was perfect sulphur. But the method necessitated the expenditure of a couple of dollars for every pound of sulphur saved. And the factory heads, remembering that sulphur cost only a few cents a pound, refused to buy it. It is just this sort of wasteful economy which goes on in some households—and which should be condemned much more energetically than the actual waste that occurs. A certain housewife heard that dried potato parings made excellent kindling for fires, and she spent an appreciable amount of time, each day rescuing the skins from oblivion and spreading them out so that they could be used. The woman who knows how to distinguish between real wastefulness and expenditures for legitimate needs is the really good housewife. Creamed Eggs on Toast. Take two tablespoonfuls of butter, two tablespoonfuls (secan) of flour, one pint of milk, four eggs, one teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth teaspoonful of pepper one-half of a small onion, six slices of toast. Boll the eggs twenty minutes and lay them in cold water. When cold, remove the shells and cut each egg into six pieces. Cut the onion fine. Place the butter in a bowl and pour it over the whole onion slowly cook the onion in it until of a light yellow hue, taking care, however, not to brown either butter or onion at all. Remove the onion, add the flour and stir until the paste is smooth and frothy, but do not let it brown in the least. Draw the pan back, gradually add the milk, return to the heat, and when the sauce boll put in the salt, pepper and eggs. Assemble the egg and pepper mixture and turn all out upon buttered toast, and serve at once. A few drops of onion juice may be used instead of the onion. Ovater Rabbit. The combinations possible with a chafing dish are endless. New ones may be invented at will, but here is one which we have found very fetching: Select half a pint of oysters and remove the hard muscle; parboil them in their own liquor until their edges curl. Then turn them into a hot bowl and put one tablespoonful of butter into the chafing dish with one-half pound of finely crumbled cheese and a salt and pepper mixture of salt, paprika and mustard. Heat two eggs slightly, add the oyster liquor and gradually the cheese until it is melted, and then put in the oysters; when hot turn it over hot toast. The cheese should be good rabbit cheese—soft and rich. Fairy Gingerbread Allow for this dainty one-half cupful of butter, one cupful of sifted powdered sugar, one-half cupful of milk, one and three-quarter cupful of flour, one rounded teaspoonful of baking powder and two level teaspoonfuls of ginger. Cream the butter, add gradually the sugar and beat until very white and creamy. Beat in the milk, adding it very slowly. Stir in the four sifted with the ginger. Stir in the drip. Spread the mixture very thinly, and bake in a moderate oven. Turn the pan often that it may bake evenly. Cut in squares before removing it from the pan—Emmy Padock Telford. Mixed Pickles. Two quarts of pickles or cucumbers, two quarts small onions, one large head celery, one head cauliflower, two carrots, four sweet peppers, up cut small. Put in salt brine over night. Next morning drain, scald with clear water, drain again. Heat half gallon vinegar, then take it out of the pot and pour four fourth pound powdered mustard, one-half ounce of turmeric, one-half ounce curry powder, mix with cold vinegar to a paste, add to boiling vinegar, one chili pepper cut up. Salt to suit taste. Boll all ten minutes. English Biscuits Sift together one and one-half pints of flour, one cupful of corn starch, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of salt. Rub in three tablespoonfuls of butter, add one well beaten egg, one cupful of milk, one-half cupful of currants and one tablespoonful of coriander seed. Mix into a smooth soft dough and bake in a hot oven and bake in buttered tins in a hot oven for 20 minutes. When done, rub over with a little butter on a clean bit of cloth. Rice With Bacon and Tomato. Spanish rice with bacon and tomato. Cut up two or three small slices of bacon into small bits and fry until crisp, but not blackened. Cook with the bacon a half of a small onion also sliced fine, but be careful it does not get scorched. Now add one cupful of cold tomato, with cayenne pepper and salt, to taste. Cook until the tomato is soft. Add a breakfast or lunch. A lil' tite the green pepper chopped fine can be added instead of the onion. BRAIN NOT INACTIVE Remarkably Clever Work Done by Insane Persons. Many of Those Confined in Alysium. Without Hope of Permanent Cure, Earn Large Incomes by Producing Works of Art. "I am sure," said a well known mind doctor to a New York Press writer, "you would be amazed at the clever work that is done by hundreds of men and women who are hopelessly insane; some of it at least as good as that done by sane people who earn large incomes. "Among my patients today is one man whose skill with the brush would almost surely qualify him for high rank if he were only in possession of his senses. There are few of the great exhibitions which do not contain one or more of his canvases, and he has often received as much as 500 for a job as a waiter as for a mad as a hatter, the victim of terrible delusions and subject to violent homicidal attacks. "Naturally, his work is unreliable. One week he will produce a masterly and beautiful picture, with genius in every line of it. The next he will paint the most weird picture, a perfect nightmare in color, which, curiously, he always considers a masterpiece. "And this man is no exception, for there are scores of lunatics who are quite excellent artists, and many of them make good incomes by their art. Several years ago an exhibition of pictures, the work of insane patients of the Bethlehem Royal hospital, was held in the public, and you many of them are beautiful works of art. "There are hundreds of other lunatics who are just as skillful in music and literature. One of my own patients, who is hopelessly mad on one subject and who is a perfect musical genius, has composed operas and symphonies and scores for the theater, and has brought him a small fortune. I know of many other insane men and women who earn small and regular incomes in the same way. "There are, similarly, hundreds of the insane who make a hobby, and sometimes a profitable one, of writing, indeed, many of our insults have invented both, such that entirely the work of the patients. "Even in our public asylums there are hundreds of patients who make money by skilled work of one sort or another. Thus, in a country asylum I know well one man who does the most exquisite water color sketches, for which he receives from $15 to $60 each, and he has a market for as many as he can produce. Unusual artists, he is often unable or unwilling to finish a picture, and thus at least four-fifths of his work is wasted. "Another patient, a former sea captain, spends his time in making the most perfect tiny models of ships, carved with infinite skill and pains from bone or ivory, for each of which he gets $5 to $10. For one very elaborate and beautiful model of a cathedral he was paid as much as $150, and it was certainly cheap at the price. Third patient in the same manner, he was paid $200 near by by cutting the clearest silhouettes out of colored paper. "The women, too, are just as clever as the men. I know one demented woman who writes the most charming books for children and verses for Christmas cards. Another who makes a good income, in her lucid hours, by illustrating books, and a third who draws several paintings. These women play on her plays. And there are countless women in our public asylums who earn money in scores of ways, such as knitting, lace making, straw plaiting and leather work." Shoemaking a PastTime Smart women in Paris are said to be taking up sheeaking as a hobby. This is reverting to a London craze of over a century ago. May 4, 1908, Mrs. Charles Calvert notes in her diary: "I begin a new science today—sheeaking. It is all the fashion. I had a master with me for about two hours, and I think I shall be able to make very nice shoes." In the same month Sarah Spencer writes to her brother: "I am today in a state of great vanity. I have to my eternal glory be it spoken, made a pair of shoes. There are no shoes. I fall I shall certainly establish myself cross-legged at the corner of an alley and earn a livelihood in the midst of leather, laws and hammers. In the evening Harriett and I divide our time between music and sheeaking, which is now the staple trade of the family." Florence Nightingale's Hône In the writings of Florence Nightingale occurs this paragraph: "We are only on the threshold of nursing. In the future which I shall not see, for I am old, may a better way be opened! May the methods by which every infant, every human being, will have the best chance of health, the methods by which every sick person will have the best chance of recovery, be learned and practiced! Hospitals are only an intermediate stage of civilization, never intended, at all events to take in every child. May the hope that the day will come when every mother will become a health-nurse, when every poor sick person will have the opportunity of a share in a distinct sick-nurse at home." Stick to Your Own Opinion 'Imn't it a fact that the man who agrees with everybody is almost as unpopular as the one who agrees with nobody? We must have minds of our own and the good sense to keep them to ourselves at the proper time. Kewar Statistics People are most liable to fever between the ages of fifteen and twenty; 209 out of every 1,000 cases occur at that age. There are only 10 per 1,000 under five and 2 per 1,000 over fifty. --- Desired "impression" Was Made, Though Not in the Way She Intended. "I have just received a letter from Mr. Parker. Margaret announced to her sister. "He is coming to Antonb for a week. I suppose he wants rest and quiet." "Rest and quiet and, most of all, you say a Peggy sister. Oh, I'm getting excited already. He is so big and handsome. Now, aren't you glad you lattened to us and went to Cousin Helen's city home last winter? I never had a chance to get out to meet people. We shall have to invite him to dinner some day, don't you 'think so dear." "That's what is troubling me, Dora. I feel that we should, but could he make allowance for our manner of living? If only mother dear would let me get Susan Long to come, so that she could play lady for once in her life. You know Mr. Parker comes from the south, and he, of course, is not accustomed to the women of his family doing housework. I believe mother would consent to having Susan, but father—well, you know he would say that it's all nonsense; the people must take us away, and the children are a jewel, his heart is as big as the whole world; but you know how it is, Dora; he has terribly old-fashioned ideas about things, and he has never had the advantage of an education, as we have, O.Dora. If he were to pour his coffee into the saucer when Mr. Parker is here, I think I should collapse." "Peggy, child, I've an idea. Listen. Why not write Mr. Parker to postpone his visit until week after next; then father will be away on business the greater part of the week, and we could coexe mother to let Susan come. She could bring her Ida along for a dining room girl, and we'd have a dandy four-course dinner for his honor, John Andrew Parker. I know how, you see, I want you, Mr. Parker to tour all the family, but not just yet. I'm as an纵吻 as you are to make a good impression, because, sister mine, I want you to be happy, and, confidentially, I think John Parker is the man." "You're a darling, Dora. Now let me see, we simply must have new napkins; it will keep us hustling to get them hemed. And mother should have that lavender lawn made up; she would look angelic in a becoming dress. She's pretty in calico, anyway, than we are in silk, bless her dear heart. I wish we could get the front porch of her home, comfortable place, but, dear knight, it is not modern, I wonder who got off the car. Why, he's coming right up to our gate. Dora, it's John Parker, as sure as I live! And mother's on the side porch shelling peas; he's going right there! Dora, call her in! There comes father around the house in his work clothes! Oh! Dora, call to them! I must dress! "I positively cannot, Marguerite Hinton, in this old dressing around all morning in this old dressing sacque." When Dora and Marguerite, daintily clad, appeared, they found their father, mother and Mr. Parker laughing and talking like old friends. "I recognized your parents from the photograph you showed me, the moment I saw them, Miss Margaret, and we have introduced ourselves. Your father and I have a common interest—trees and birds—and your mother has been giving me some information as to gardening. You know it is quite a fad of mine. She has been good enough to invite me to stay to dinner—a dinner which she promises to prepare herself. I feel highly honored." We shall be glad Margaret. I'm now a proud Margaret; her face paled as a vision of pork chops, peas and potatoes and crumb plo floated before her. Late that evening Margaret and John Parker were sitting upon the moonlit front porch. The long silence was broken by a tense voice. "Margaret, I have always admired you. You seemed, somehow, different from most girls. Now, since I have met your parents, I think I understand. Your father is a wonderful man—one of nature's noblemen. I consider it an education to know him, and your mother—Ah, well! I'm glad you are her daughter. This has been my first taste of real home life for a long time, and, dear, it comes near my idea of heaven. "Darling, I knew, ever since we met, that I thought a great deal of you—today the revelation has come—I love you."-Buffalo Express. Trying to Be Truthful "People who are not familiar with court procedure have strange ideas of the meanings of some of the technical law terms," said City Attorney Daniel W. Horn in a recent talk. "It reminds me of a story of the distinction made by a colored witness in a Virginia case with references to an oath and an affirmation." This negro was summoned as a witness in an important case. When he entered the witness box he said that he thought he wouldn't swear. He thought he would just affirm. "How is this?' the court asked. 'In a previous case you had no scruples about taking an oath and you consented readily enough to swear. Why is it that you will now affirm your oath?' The negro, 'de reason is that I n't quite so shore 'bout de facts of di case as it was 'bout dem of de other case.'"—Milwaukee Wisconsin. Monogamy Proved Best. Through the animal world carefew investigation shows that the nearer the animals have approached the ideal form of marriage the higher they have reached in the scale of development and the better and more enduring is their offspring.
