ANTI-LYNCH RALLY A SUCCESS.
The anti-lynch rally held at St. Paul's A, M. e. Church at St. Paul's evening was a success from every point of view. A good sized crowd included some of the leading white citizens of the city, was in attendance and the reports from the National Negro Masonic Cnogress, the National Negro Medical association and the National Association of Colored Women were enjoyed by all present, after which collection of $75 was raised and forwarded to national headquarters at New York City as Des Moines' contribution toward the $10,000 anti-lynchning fund subscription which were to be closed to lay. Some of our citizens refused to contribute because of their doubts of the possibility of accomplishing the object, namely, the stopping of lynching, but eradication of whether this be accomplished the demonstration of last Monday evening's meeting resulted in the appearance on Tuesday of an editorial in the Evening Tribute on "The Negroes of Des Moines," which editorial itself has already been the cause of several dollars being added to the anti-lynchning fund and which will unquestionably be worth more to the Negro citizens of this community than many times the amount of money contributed by them in the rally.
Negroes of Des Moines
The Negroes of Des Moines last Monday evening raised a fund of more than $60 as their part of a general fund now being raised by Mopfie Story of Boston, at one time president of the American Bar association, to fight southern lynchings with. Mr. Story has given $1,000 himself and another Boston sympathizer with the colored race has given $1,000. Just what the plan is to be has not been disclosed. But Mr. Story is confident that lynching can be made unpopular even in the states where it is now most frequent.
At the meeting last Monday evening interesting reports were made of the recent meeting of colored Masons in Chicago, of the meeting of the Negro medical association at Kansas City, and of a recent conference of Negro women, all of them well attenued from Des Moines.
Among other thing the Negroes are doing, the Negroes of Iowa are now raising a fund of $500 to pay for a painted portrait ofooker Washington, whita is to be hung in memorial hall at the state c-pitol. The painting is now in progress in Paris, where the celebrated Negro painter, Tanner, is putting his best inspiration into it.
The spirit of the meeting was that the Negro must do for himself. He must say his own way in everything. He must not rely on the help of others, however gratefully help may be accepted. He must set about raising funds for everything he ought to do in the community. He must fight his own battle, and enjoy the victory when he wins it.
Two young Negro girls from Des Moines go to Iowa City this week to enter the freshman class in the university college of liberal arts. The Negroes are putting great emphasis on education.
The Evening Tribute last winter asked Mr. Mansfield what class of people in the city made the least appeal for help to the humane society. He answered at once, "The Negroes."
The Negroes are doing a great deal more than anybody but their own leaders know to make themselves worthy member of the American community. It is too bad that they are judged habitually by what is heard of

them in Police court. Once in a while their white neighbors ought to see them at their beat. - The Evening Tribute.
HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS' CLUB.
The Des Moines High School Girl's club held their first meeting since the summer vacation on last Sunday afternoon at the home of their honorary president, Miss Mildred Griffin, 1513 East Walker street.
An impromptu program was rendered, to which each member present contributed a musical or literary number and concluded with farewell addresses by Miss Mildred Griffin, honorary president, and Miss Mamie Diggs, chairman of the executive committee, both of whom left this morning for Iowa City, where he will enter the liberal arts college of the State university next Monday.
Among the distinguished visitors who were present and addressed the club were Miss Beulah Wheeler, a sophomore student in the State university; Mrs. S. Joe Brown, president of the Iowa Federation of Colored Women and founder of the club, and Atty. S. Joe Brown, grand master of Negro Masons of Iowa. At the conclusion of the meeting a dainty repast was served by Miss Griffin, assisted by her mother and Miss Edythe Jones of North High.
Rev. S. L. Birt
St. Paul's A. i. A. E. church, Second and Center streets, under the pastorate of Rev. S. L. Birt, is closing one of the most successful years in the history of its organization and is entering upon a new era of Christian activities. A happy culmination of a slow but steady growth under many pastors and the loyalty of members and friends.
High churchmen and men of wide experiences have viewed the ground and concur in the opinion that the African M. E. church has a great opportunity in this thriving city, the gateway to the west. Industrial migration from the southland has set in. Iowa will receive her quota. Des Moines, the capital of the state, will attract many. Our churches of color must be on the lookout. Pastor Birt has met numbers of these men in the street, at work and has come in contact with humanity in all its phases. As a consequence large crowds have attended church services; 249 accessions at regular preaching services; 148 accessions through revival meeting. Total number accessions, 397. The whole burden must not rest on the pastor. The members have a responsibility, extending welcome and providing comfort and dispensing good cheer.
The trustees of the church have had two financial campaigns this conference year. The first, held in November, netted $718; the second, in July $1,387.
The stewardess board has collected over $1,800. The Sunday school, A. C. E. Missionary society and other organizations have very active. The social side has not
been neglected.
Hilbert Earl Stewart, pianist; Williams Jubilee Singers; Dr. J. A. Gregg, A. B. D. D., traveler and lecturer, and local talent have added to this feature.
Rev. S. L. Howard, connectional evangelist; Revs. Mohammed and Kalane, native Africans; Rt. Rev. I. N. Ross, bishop of the Fifteenth Episcopal district, gave graze the pupit.
Pastor Birt takes this means of thanking those who have contributed to this effort and to the comfort of his family.
He leaves on the 19th for the seat of the Chicago conference, Institutional church, Chicago.
EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS.
This observation letter will cover our Chicago visit during the great Masonic conclave, which was recently held there. We will begin to be Moines and motor overland in company with my wife, two children, Anna and Nelson, and Mrs. Mollie Watkins. For one who has no automobile knowledge and knew not the roads, with nothing save automobile maps, you can to some extent realize how we felt, not knowing how the weather would be nor the accidents that might befall us when our claxton sounded the start on an 800 mile trip at 6 o'clock a.m, m bidding farewell to dear Des Moines, the scenes of my college schooling and my home during all of my married life, where my children many strong and beloved relatives and friends, will indeed cause a person to enhance they alue of home sweet home. Within about two hours we were at Mrs. Battles' in Colafax, and many tools that he has. He has just purchased a life passenger automobile and he is going to learn to run it soon. Mr. R. G. Craig is an old citizen. He worked in the Iowa legislature. Mrs. R. Redrick is an old and respected citizen. She, like Mr. Craig, owns her own home. We soon made a dash for Iowa City, but stopped a few moments for rest and refreshments. While there we met the only colorful, Mr. W. H. Meyes, who has lived there for about forty years. He is a barber and owns valuable property. He is improving and remodeling his property. Two hours later we entered Iowa City, where is located our great state university. This is strictly a college town. The few colored families here are doing well. Mrs. H. R. Moore on College street formerly lived in Des Moines and is running a first class hair dressing parlor and is doing well. J. W. Thompson is still here and has charge of a large fraternity frat. Mr. Chas. Alberts is in the contracting business. He is doing well and owns a nice home. Mrs. D. Patterson and L. Dunnegan are here and doing well, also T. McDavis. Away for Davenport for the night, a design of sixty-five miles. We reached here at 7:30 o'clock, stopping with Mr. Eugene Green over night and spending the next day here. We left this town Saturday morning across the Father of Waters, the prairie to Sterling, where we struck the Lincoln highway, claimed to be the longest and finest highway in America. It is graded up from two to six feet high and laid with crushed stone, which makes the surface rough and uneven, but the most serious objection that it is only about twelve to fourteen feet wide, which is entirely too narrow for large cars to pass one another at a thirty mile speed. Most traffic along the side of this highway. It must be widened and the surface made smoother. At Sterling we met a Mr. Clark, one of our subcribers, who works at the Elks club. From here we made Dixon, DeKalb, Rochelle, Batavia, Wheaton and Chicago, the coming metropolis of this western hemisphere. Here lives more
people in this city than the whole state of Iowa and about as many colored people as there are white people in Des Moines. The colored people come near having an equal chance here than any other city in America. Here you can view them at their best and highest civilization. They have many doctors, many lawyers, many teachers, many dentists, many musicians and many ministers and many skilled mechanics who are reckoned as good as the best in any race. Dr. Daniel H. Williams as a surgeon has no superiors, also Dr. Edward Hall has a national reputation. Lawyer Edward Morris, S. Long Williams, Edward Wright and N. D. Nennison are very able and successful lawyers. One is assistant attorney general for the state, one is corporation attorney for the city of Chicago, one is city counsel for the municipal court. We have two members of the Illinois legislature and four candidates this month for the public nomination. A colored regiment with all colored officers, with Colonel John R. Marshall, retired, who was the first real colonel of our race. He was succeeded by Colonel Dennison. With one colored alderman in the present city council, the first for our race in this city. With more representative city positions than ever held by the colored people. In fact the Chicago Daily Tribune recently said that the Chicago city hall looked like an Uncle Tom's Cabin with eight colored palettes and detectives. With a $100,000. Y. M. C. A seven stories high, forty-two turches and missions. With Masonic, Old Fellows, Pythian buildings. With dozens of drug stores and many restaurants, groceries, dry goods stores and confectionaries, wi numerous barber shops and many other of the diversified industries controlled by our people we must say here lies the hope of the race, with the thousands of beautiful homes and fairs owned, we are really optimistic for our future. The social side of our visit was. On Sunday we attended services for the churches and the Good Fellowship League meeting held by Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett and spoke at most of these meetings we stopped just across from the Y. M. C. A, at 3804 Wabash avenue. We met many of our former Moines and Iowa towns. Among them was Rev. Timothy Reeves and wife, Rev. Brice W. Taylor and wife, Rev. James P. Higgins and wife, James R. Weeks and wife, Mrs. Rapid, and Mr. Mrs. Alex Tillery, who once lived in our city also Omaha. Neb. His mother is living with him. He and his good wife served a fine 6 o'clock dinner to ye editor, his wife, children and Mrs. Mollie Watkins and Gus Watkins. A very enjoyable evening was spent, Mr. and Mrs. Tillery are doing nicely. They belong to St. Thomas Episcopal church. This same week that we Masons were in Chicago the people held their annual street carnival. It extended from Twenty-eighth to Thirty-eight street on Street. Indeed it was a live place at night time. The Misses Virginia Steele and Garnet Hamilton McGee are students in the Provident hospital, who are taking a course in nursing and are both making a good standing, high in their grades. Those from Iowa at this week that we met are about twenty-five. They are areas follows. G. M. S. Joe Brown and wife, P. G. M. Austin A. Bland and wife, P. G. M. John L. Thompson and wife and children, P. G. M. E. T. Banks, Gus Watkins and sister, Mollie Watkins, Mr and Mrs. Art Wilson, C. M. H. Marshall of Davenport, Morris Mills Young, Mr. Bush of Clinton, Mrs. A. Garrison of Sioux City and Ruth M. Bright, G. M. of Davenport.

BUYS WASHINGTON'S HEADQUARTERS TO PRESERVE IT TO THE NATON
---
New York.—A few days ago a young American heard that Washington's headquarters at Dobbs Ferry would be sold within 24 hours to a brewer who intended to turn this historic place into a roundhouse. The American had been fuselated, even as a boy in Michigan, with the old woodcut representation in Prescott's "History of the United States," showing the house in which General Washington, Sir Guy Carleton, then commander in chief of the army, met with the governor on May 3, 1783, after the suspension of hostilities, to settle the terms for the disbunding of the two armies.
It was the only time these distin-
guished gentlemen ever met. The pa-
pers they signed obligated the Britis-
tion to give up all claim upon the alli-
gence and control of the country, gave
freedom to a nation, and initiated a
remarkable test of republican institu-
tions. By some the house has been
called "the birthplace of the United
States." The young American, Mess-
more Kendall, of this city, when he
heard that the historic place might
be used for undesirable purposes, did
not rest until he had bought the house
and its 3% acres for $0,000. He may
give it to the state or nation, but not
until he has spent $25,000 to restore
it, says the New York Times.
The inscription on a monument placed near the house on June 14, 1894, by the New York State Society, Sons of the American Revolution, relates that here on August 14, 1781, Washington planned the York tountain campaign, which brought to a triumphant end the war for American independence. And that opposite this point, May 8, 1788, a bishop sloop of war fired 17 guns in honor of the American commander, in chief, the first salute by Great Britain to the United States of America.
Memorable Conference.
The memorable conference which was fraught with such significance and led to the evacuation of American soil by British troops lasted several days, and during that time the Dobbs Ferry house was carefully guarded by several companies of soldiers, while mounted messengers carried dispatches hourly to the Continental and British camps.
Mr. Kendall, who is a lawyer, spent last winter in France, and became surcharged with its patriotism. His stock is American from early days. At the first call for volunteers in the Revolutionary war, 363 Kendalls responded and did their bit. Messmore Kendall's great-grand-grandfather, Dr. Joseph Goodhue by name, was at one time surgeon general of the Revolutionary army. His grandfather, Col. I. E. Messmore, organized the Fourteenth Wisconsin volunteer infantry regiment, fought all through the Civil war, became judge of the supreme court of Wisconsin, served as a member of congress for several years, and received a letter from General Huncock when that man believed he would be made president of the United States, offering Colonel Messmore, in that event, the post of secretary of the Interior.
Messmore Kendall, who was born in Grand Ruplids, Mich., in 1872, has a record of his own. He herded cows in the West and, after being graduated from Columbia university, was secretary to United States Senator John L. Wilson, and later to Bellamy Storer, former minister to Austria-Hungary. As attorney for Jennie M. Leys, Mr. Kendall recovered a verdict against him, and for 400 hours, said to be the largest verdict on record in a personal injury action. He organized the Braden Copper company, which is now part of the Kennecte Copper company, one of the largest corporations of its kind.
Beats the Brewer to It
He had, in a word, the patriotism and the meams, and everything conspired to arouse within him a keen interest in the fate of the Washington headquarters at Dobbs Ferry, Mr. Kendall had long known the history of the place, and while motoring by the old post road, over which the stage coaches used to pass, he noticed that it seemed more neglected than ever, and that several signs on the trees indicated that the property was in the hands of real estate agents. Following a sudden inspiration and the advice of one of the signs, Mr. Kendall drove to the real estate office of James L. Taylor at Dobbs Ferry and announced that he felt like buying Washington's headquarters. Mr. Taylor informed him that a brewer had first claim on the property, being expected that afternoon, when papers were to be signed, and that what had been called the birthplace of the United roadhouse. Mr. Kendall did not sleep until he got it. Now he is going to put the house into the hands of artists and architects, who will make it look as it did in the days when cannon balls from the enemy's gunballs lodged in the cherry trees. (A few of these cannon balls are still to be seen around the place.) After the restoration Mr. Kendall will decide whether he will give the house to the state or nation. He has not yet met up his mind on
Connecticut Agricultural Expert Tells How to Sober Up Dairy Inbreates
New London—When a cow begins to act low down, and gets so packed to the horns with intoxicants that she gives moonshine milk, something must be done about it. Karl (B. Mieusser, agent in dairy at the Connecticut Agriculture college in the month's issue of the college press bulletin
this point, for the house came into his possession in a moment of patriotic feeling, which was prompted to some extent by a visit last winter to France. There Mr. Kendall witnessed the splendid patriotism of the French people and remembered later that near the Dobbs Ferry house the French allies Rochambeau had joined the American army on July 6, 1751. As an unarmed American he is naturally proud of that army in our history, and proud also of his ownership of the house that is associated with Rochambeau.
Rich in Historic Places.
Westchester county is rich in its historic places, yet, among all, perhaps none is more justly noted than the property now known chiefly as the Livingston Manor house, though in truth it has no claim to that title. The land on which the house stands was purchased from the Indiana in April 1682, by Frederick Philipse, whose Manor house is now the city hall of Yonkers, and was held by his family, under royal charter from the English crown, until after the Revolution, when it was concocted by the government on account of the Toryism of its owners. It was occupied during Revolutionary times by Thomas Hyatt, a tenant farmer, who had leased it and the surrounding tract of land from the Lord of the Phillips, and who prided himself on having the best location in that part of the country, the best house between Yonkers and Sleepy Hollow, but whose chief claim to great greatness seems to have been his ability to tell "big stories."
He had no political opinion, and cared little which party ruled, as long as crops were good. But the even tenor of his life was destined to interruption, both by Americans and by British. In 1776, after the battle of White Plains, came the redecorations, prior to their march on Fort Washington. Lord Howe here made his maps of Westchester roads, and here General Lee rested on his march to Morristown. And, in the following winter, a division of Washington's army encamped here, to command the passage of the river. The poor farmer was, indeed, besieged.
On August 1, 1750, the main body of the American army crossed the river and encamped at Dobbs Ferry, and the old house became the headquarters of the army's chief, and of his generals, Lafayette, Steuben, Knox Greene and Hamilton. Washington's maneuver attained its object, that of drawing the enemy back to Rhode Island, and the main body of the American army recessed to the New Jersey shore.
Gunboata Open Fire.
On August 7, 1781, about two o'clock in the morning, the American army was started by the firing of cannon at Dobbs Ferry. It appeared that two of the enemy's gunboats had come up as high as the ferry, probably to try to seize some vessels or boats. Finding that they were discovered, they fired four cannon, but to no effect. Four cannon were discharged at the boats from the battery, on which they went down the river.
Washington's diary informs us that on July 4, 1781, he "marched and took a position a little to the left of Dobbs Ferry, and marked a camp for the French army upon our left." On July 6 the French army formed "the junction with the American army on the ground marked out. The American army was encamped in two lines, with the right resting on the Hudson river near Dobbs Ferry. The French army, stationed on the hills at the left, was a single line reaching to the Bronks river. There was a valley of considerable extent between the two armies."
Washington's object in taking a position on the Hudson river near Dobbs Ferry was to be prepared to make an attack on New York, and also to induce the enemy to withdraw a large portion of his forces from the south. In this he was successful, and thus it was that he was enabled to defeat and compel the surrender of Cornwallis and end the war. An entry in Washington's orderly book dated July 6, 1781, and written at Dobbs Ferry, says that the enemy had been expressing his thanks to Count de Rochunbeau for the unremitting zeal with which he has prosecuted his march in order to form the long-wished-fjunction between the French and American armies—an event which must afford the highest degree of pleasure to every friend of the country, and from which the happiest consequences can be expected."
Told by One of Heira.
These and other tales of the old house were recounted a few night ago by Miss Anna Gertrude Roberts, one of the heirs of the Hasbrouck estate, from which Mr. Kendall's purchase has been made. Peter Van Frugh Livingston was an American merchant born in Albany, the son of Philip, second lord of Livingston Manor. This house was his country place. He enjoyed the friendship of Washington, and on more than one occasion was consulted by him. He was one of the founders of the College of New Jersey.
Nature lovers well know that a cow selom® goes boldly into a barroom. The trouble is that the mild-eyed婴rites get fooling around with wind fall apples. Mr. Mieuser says: "The condition of intoxication, if allowed to exist for any length of time, impairs the ability of an ex-trainer to make a good milker a loss proposition financially.

at Elbizabethnown, N. J., which afterward became Princeton college. On April 22, 1774, he was one of a party who, disguised as Mohawks, like their Boston compatriots, overboard a cargo of ten brought by the Nancy Museum of New York. The place was owned by Van Brugh Livingston to Stephen Archer in 1836, and was his residence until his death in 1877. It was purchased by Dr. Joseph Hasbrouck in 1882.
Earthworks were established at several points within the village of Dobbs Ferry during the Revolutionary war. An embankment at the foot of Chestnut street was leveled only a few years ago. The outlines of a redoubt, perfect condition, are still preserved in the angles formed by the junction of Broadway and Livingston avenue. The remains of a fort, a still more imposing earthwork, are carefully preserved on a knoll a few rods southeast of the redoubt.
The interior of the house has been changed but nobody says that where愈来愈 heavy, one now sees a modern ceiling. Also the old Dutch windows have been enlarged so that through them one may pass out onto the veranda, which extends across almost the whole side.
Many Quaint Relics.
Within are many quant old relics—the table built for Major Paulding of New York, at which Laffney was entertained in IS24, and the chairs which were used at that banquet; a copper kettle given by a British officer to a negro slave; quant old china and pewter dishes brought from Holland in the seventeenth century. Here, too, is an old footstone, such as our grandmothers caried with them to church, and, perhaps more important, and one which at least brings the war very strongly before us, is a Revolutionary cannon ball cut from an old cherry tree on the place.
Stephen Archer, who bought the house from Livingston, was a Quaker and abolitionist, and during the Civil war the place became a station on the "underground railway." Many a trembling slave was safely hidden within its friendly walls until pursuit was over and opportunity was afforded to seek the Canadian boundary. Dr. Joseph Hasbrouck, the last owner of the house, was a descendant of an old Huguenot family and former vice-president of the Holland society of New York. He died a few years ago.

THE WINDOW GARDEN
Bv E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.
Give the windows at which plants are to be kept a little attention at this season. Go over the sash, and make sure that the glass in it is well fastened in place by putty. If any pumps are loose, reputty them. See that the sash fits the frame well.
These little crevices are the ones through which a great deal of cold may come when the temperature drops below zero and there is a stiff wind blowing.
It is an excellent plan to fit the windows of the dwelling with storm windows—storm sashes. Not only for the benefit of the plants, but the business of the house. At windows protected by storm sash plants can be allowed to stand against the inner glass, on the coldest night, without injury, as the air space between the two sashes is a most efficient non-conductor of cold.
HOW TO ATTRACT BIRDS
Protection is the prime requisite for increasing the number of birds in an area, and the results of protection are in direct proportion to the amount given.
Besides insuring birds against every form of persecution by human kind, we must defend them from various natural foes. The most effectual single step is to provide a place for the birds free from the cats.

It is not necessary to eliminate meat entirely from the diet in hot weather, but those who serve it in small quantities and less often, replacing it with foods which contain the elements of the meat without its heat-producing qualities will find they are better able to endure the heat.
Salmon Said—Chop fin the hard-cooked eggs and a dozen small cucumber pickles; add to a can of salmon that has been flaked. Mix with a mayonnaise dressing and serve on crisp well chilled lettuce.
Another hearty salad is prepared with boiled rice seasoned with finely chopped onion and French dressing. Arrange on a salad plate and garnish with drained sardines and minced parsley and pickled beets.
Take a crisp young cabbage hollowed out for a bowl and shred the tender portion, mixing it with equal parts of celery and a little chopped onion. Serve with a good boiled dressing.
Very ripe quinces peeled and sliced, seasoned with minced chives and served with French dressing are also a welcome variety. Bananas are nearly always with us and they are good with apples with celery and nuts is another well-like combination as well as sliced apple and shredded green pepper with nuts, served with mayonnaise dressing.
By cooking a double portion of vegetables one day you have ample for salads for the next. Salads that can be served as substitutes for meats are easily made, economical, and save the cook as well as the overworked digestive system.
Baked Bean Salad—Place in a bowl a few slices of onion and turn over them a pint of baked beans, season and mix lightly; add two tablespoonful of olive oil, a teaspoonful of sugar and a quarter of a cupful of vinegar. Mold and garnish with hard-cooked eggs and serve on lettuce. Chopped green peppers and tomatoes are good mixed with beans and served with French dressing.
We never really gain anything by pretense; we only think that we gain and make others think it. The box tom of a lime and it is therefore valueless. One of the greatest distinctions of the world is the apperarance of an ingrudient man, an insincerity. These things always remain what they are, in spite of gliding and tinsel. Let us not be such poor creatures as to be deluded by them.—Arthur Salmon.
For a dainty dish on a special occasion try using a small French potato scoop to cut out pink bulbs from the heart of a watermelon. Put in glasses, cover with orange juice and top with a sprinkling of powdered sugar. Most of us are reasonably satisfied with a well-chilled good-flavored muskmelon, but for special times the melon halves may be filled with ice cream and garnished with bits of candied ginger cut in the form of seeds.
Cantaloupe Sherbet.—Choose the smallest ripe nutmeg melons for this recipe. Cut in halves and remove the seeds, then scrape out all the ripe pulp and put through a sieve; to a quart of the pulp add a cupful of orange and grape juice and one and a half pounds of sugar, well dissolved; add two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and put into the freezer; add a benten white of an egg and freeze as usual. Serve in the cantaloupe shells, and put into the freezer; add two spoonfuls as plucked peaches or preserved as watermelon rind are very delicious dainies which add to the housewife's store of good things for the winter table.
Cantaloupes and watermelons make excellent fruit salads. Dice and serve on lettuce with French dressing. A grating of nutmeg is liked on cantaloupes by many.
Duchess Apples With Onions—A most appetizing dish is this. cut in small pieces, after peeling, a half dozen green duchess apples; cut three onions in slices and put into an omelet pan with a little fat from salt pork; cook until the onions are a light yellow, then add the apples and sufficient water to cook them without burning. As the apples are quite tart, a little sugar improves the dish as to flavor and looks, as it browns better with the sugar. Season with salt and serve hot as an accompaniment to French Custard—Beat three eggs until light; add one pint of whipped cream, sweetened and flavored to taste. Serve in tall glasses with grated nutmeg over the top or garnished with fresh berries.

our native birds build their nests on the ground, the majority place them in trees of shrubs, either in holes or on the limbs or in crofts. Shrubbery and trees for nesting sites, therefore, are essential for making the place attractive to birds, and a double purpose is served if the kinds planted are chosen from the list of fruit-bearing species. Shrubbs should be pruned back severely, when young, so as to produce numerous crotches. - Constant removal of old trees and modern tree surgery resulted in a great diminution of a number of trees

Not for many a day had the office been freshened by such a vision. She approached our desk. Proudly we rose. With a smile that revealed the whitest of teeth, she asked, "Where's the city editor at?"
Leaders of men have ever been pre-

It seems a small thing to mention,
but there is great waste in the pre-
paration of vegetables, es-
pecially in peeling potatoe-
s. In the days before the potato peeler was in-
vented a publie-spirited man gave a large enow-
ment to the college visited by his agent that
showed the greatest economy in peeling potatoe. Perhaps the old
ing for a bride, who asked for the bread bow in the homes of several churning mids, wishing to feed his horse with the scrapings, might be well to revive. Those who saved much dough, thinking to gain favor were dispointed for he chose the girl with the bowl so clean that there were no scrapings, as that indicated to him a careful, frugal wife, for which he was looking.
Where vegetables are to be served alone, select the best looking ones, leaving the less sightly ones for soups, seasonings and stews.
A tablespoonful of peas or tomatoes should be saved and added to the roast beef gravy on the morrow or to the vegetable salad. A single fresh tomato may be quartered and served as a garnish.
A half cupful of peas may be added to tomorrow's omelet and thus make a tasty dish rather than a plain omelet.
Water in which rice is cooked added to milk makes a fine cream soup for dinner.
One cupful of mashed potatoes will make several croquettes, or patties, or fish balls.
The green tops of the celery are just as good for flavoring the stew or soup as the more tender portions.
Muffins left from breakfast may be pulled apart and toasted. Pieces of cake served with a simple custard and a sliced bannan, is a dainty dessert and one easy to prepare.
Save the tea leaves and sprinkle them, well moistened, over the carpet before sweeping. They brighten the carpet and keep the dust from flying.
Use the ham bone to cook with cabbage. Take off every little bit of meat and serve it in a white sauce on toast.

To meet with cheerful heart what comes to me.
To turn life's discords into harmony.

This would I pray from day to day.
For then I know my life will flow.

Place in a deep granite baking dish and cover with a cupful of brown sugar, a tablespoonful of lemon juice and three-fourths of a cupful of boiling water, two tablespoonfuls of butter and bake in a moderate oven for one hour. Have the lap of the roll on top so that it will bake without being soggy.
Pear Salad—Take peeled pears, cut in halves, roll in chopped nuts and place in lettuce; add a tablespoonful each of finely chopped celery, dried almonds and pineapple. Serve with any desired dressing. Mayonnaise, if well seasoned, is especially good with the salad.
Pears baked with sugar, butter, lemon juice and a little water makes a delicious accompaniment to a meat course.
Pears cut-in strips with celery and French dressing on lettuce is another most appetizing salad.
Soup meat with seasonings may be made into a nice tasty loaf for lunch-eon.

“There are so many people who are
carrying the burdens of the world
that it is surprising that we have ss
many ills’as are prevalent. Affairs
would be truly ridiculous if they were
not so fraught with the serious conse-
quences of the class of people who
think of themselves as highly import-
ant in the civic and world conse-
quences.

MS Then comes
the hichly self-
a
aie
satisfied person who imagines they
are the envy of the community, and
every piece of silk or new drinking
glass they possess sets everyone or
edge.
Now comes Mrs. Ego, who is ob:
sessed with the idea that every one
is talking about her private affairs;
as a rale in order to make true the
delusion they put into motion some
doubts.
Ergo, comes the pseudo reformer,
who would not make a good attendant
in the house of the wicked, so far as
morals and ideals are concerned, call
ing attention to the unimportant
lapses of their moral superiors.
Theseare the people who, ley a
the commotions and clasp thdir sooty
paws over their paunches and sigh,
“T have done my duty and am perse-
cuted.”
Very few of us are important
lenough to be mentioned by one in a
/hundred of those who know us. We
be not make a scratch mark on the
face of time and if we die, more than
ely it is hard to get up a good fol-
lowing to the graveyard; then some
fone else must pay the fare. If we
|were all half as important as we pic-
‘ture ourselves to be, not half of us
‘could get around on account of the
‘congestion in traffic we would cause.
There would be more formality than
there is at a diplomatic function, if
we were as well known as we desired
|to be and our own sense passed to the
‘other fellow.
| Half the people we seek to impress,
if they have any recollection of, uss
‘all, remember us with a pityiplf smile
The other half forget us YMfore we
leave the room.
‘There is only one wafto be remem-

way to by€nvied and that is by being
good fd0d to those who need us, bu
too sensitive to ask.
Before the ears can be attuned tc
the harmonies of the Master they mus
have lost their sensitiveness to criti
cism. This does not apply to thick:
skinned people, whose hides are im
pervious darts, but to people whe
