VOL.27 NO.27 Dr. Thirkield's Speech Dr. Thirkield's Speech THE MEANING AND MISSION OF EDUCATION. Inaugural Address of Wilbur Patterson Thirkield, D.D., LL.D., as President of Howard University, Washington, D.C., Rankin Memorial Chapel, 2.30 P.M., Friday, November 15, 1907. This occasion, the fortieth anniversary of an institution with the location, history, relations and ideals of Howard University, suggests the theme, the Meaning and Mission of Education. It is fitting that we consider (1) the aims and ideals in modern education, and (2) the place and mission of Howard University in the higher life of a race. It was Herbert Spencer who, about the time of the founding of this university, startled the educational world with the question, "What knowledge is of most worth?" The answer, involving what Bacon called "the relative value of knowledgees," has Changed the Face of Modern Education It has given true place to the modern sciences, history, economics, sociology, philosophy, literature, and physical training, along side of Latin, Greek and Mathematics, which once held exclusive sway. It has broken the tradition that education is for an aristocracy; has made education free and democratic; has made education ot for luxury, but for life; not the badge of class distinction, but equipment for service. Education, then, makes its appeal not to the intellect alone, but to the entire man. A rounded personality, with foresight, insight, widensight, is the supreme outcome. What knowledge, then, is of most worth? We answer, the knowledge that can be wrought most effectively into the fabric of life; that will enmoble and strengthen character; that will equip man for his place and part in the real work of the world. We plead, then, for An Education That Can Be Translated Into Action Into Action. that, through cultured powers, makes for higher living and larger efficiency; an education that will make better citizens; give better homes and children; an education that will improve physical and moral well being; that will arm against intellectual crazes, political frauds and social follies; that will give sanity, vision, progress, power. In short, the aim in higher education is to develop men—wise, sane, conscientious, fearless; of clean character and lofty ideals; men of keen perception, large outlook and broad sympathies; independent, yet considerate; aggressive, yet tolerant, courageous, yet gentle—men with a passion for righteousness, standard bearers of truth, consecrated to service. Apply These Principles and Ideals to the Education of a Race. The needs and claims of the Negro for such an education as will draw forth the entire man to his best is grounded in his humanity. The demands of modern sociology are for "a social consciousness that shall be characterized by a three-fold conviction of essential likeness of men, of the mutual influence of men, and of the value and sacredness of the person." This means that all men should be sons of God and brothers of their fellow-men; that no race is left without witness of the divine in mental and moral capacity; that men are so bound up together that education must be for all; and that the personality of every man is sacred. This is the teaching of the Son of Man. Every man has in him values above all market price. This is The Democratic Ideal. Democracy bears living witness to the capacity of the downmost man. There are in American history numberless examples of the fact that the common man has stored up in him uncommon powers for highest life and service of man. Lincoln, Grant, Douglass are only conscious examples. This is the meaning of equality—not that every man in capacity is the equal of every other man; or that there is any such thing as equality of gifts and powers; for it is a truism that "Liberty leads to inequality based on natural differences of capacity and application among men." It is rather that, in a Democracy Every Man Has Right to Equality of Opportunity; may claim equal right with every other man to a free unfoldment of all the powers and possibilities that are stored up in him; that there are diversities of gifts, but one spirit of freedom; that no artificial barrier shall be placed in the way of any man; that in civil life there shall not be a spirit of repression, but of broad and generous recognition, and divinest that is in him, so far as THE BEE WASHINGTON broad educational opportunity Is a help to this end. A liberal education is thus far more than a training in mental strength and acuteness. It is the broadening of the whole man, so that he takes in, appropriates and finds power to use the best that has been thought and done—all knowledge for his own good and that of others. Such an education makes for breadth of view, sanity, the scientific spirit, power of initiative, and civil, moral and economic efficiency. Any other some of education is rotten at the core. Any broad educational program will find place for practical scientific and industrial training; will recognize, with President Elliott, the mental and moral as well as the practical value of training in handicraft; will teach men not to get out of work, but to get more out of their work; that is, equip them for power and progress in labor. Besides its direct contribution to the comfort and uplift of the home and to efficiency in farm and shop, industrial training teaches accuracy, patience, forethought, skill. And this is education. While Efficient, Industrial Training Alone Is Not Sufficient for the rounded and complete life of any people. It is essential that all men be trained to make a living. It is imperative that men also be trained to make a life. In this age of overmastering material tendencies, there is call for teaching that shall emphasize the principle that a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of things which he possesseth. If the Negro race is to come to real freedom and true spiritual power and progress; if it is ever to find its place in the Kingdom—which is not mere meat and drink, but righteousness, peace and joy, in holiness of spirit. Education Involves Obligation that their election is not to privilege alone or to mere place and power above men, but rather to service and sacrifice for downmost man. Higher Training for Professions. In this spirit should the mission of Howard University to the higher education of a race be conceived and carried out. To such institutions is committed the preparations of the teachers, preachers, physicians, lawyers, and moral leaders of a people who, called not to be ministered unto, but to minister, may give their lives a rainbow for many. The College of Arts and Sciences in the Capital of the Nation, with the libraries, museums, and the scientific and other facilities ministering to culture and to scholarship, furnishes the finest center or the broadest education as a basis for largest life and the highest professional training of the leaders of a race who number over ten million native-born American citizens. Within the next decades they are to shape the methods and determine the of young people in training for life. Without trained teachers this segregation means inferior schools. The normal schools available for colored teachers are few and often inadequate. Therefore the imperative call for a thoroughly equipped College for Teachers here at the center of the nation that shall at small cost give the most approved and effective modern training to the teachers of a people. For forty years strong, brave men—men with courage equal to their lofty ideals for a race, have builded their thought and life into the professional schools of Howard University. Their graduates are now constructive helpers and healers of their fellow-men. These schools were never so crowded. The call for trained men was never so urgent. The School of Medicine opened in 1868, has sent forth 1,071 trained graduates. The high standard and efficiency of this school are acknowledged by the profession. The united terms of service of nine of the senior faculty who are still teaching is over two hundred and sixty years. Their work has affected the physical well being of multitudes in the nation. The courses of study and methods of instruction are abreast of the latest scientific standards. The completion of the Freedmen's Hospital, for which the University has ceded to the government a valuable park of eleven acres, gives clinical facilities unsurpassed. This is the only large hospital with modern appliances that is open, in a broad way, to the colored physician or student. Northern colleges do not now give him the welcome once cordially extended. While there is one medical student to every three thousand white people, there is but one to every fourteen thousand colored people. Yet the thorough equipment of the colored physician was never so vitally important as now. Continued on Page 4. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY NOVEMBER 30. 1907. [Portrait of a man in formal attire, wearing a suit and tie, with a serious expression. The background is plain and oval-shaped.] DR. CHARLES L. MARSHALL ONE OF WASHINGTON'S MOST EMINENT PHYSICIANS. AN ACTIVE AND PROGRESSIVE PHYSICIAN — A HIGH OFFICIAL IN MANY ORGANIZATIONS. A Promising and Progressive Mom. Charles Herbert Marshall, M.D., the subject of this sketch, was born of slave parents, May 15, 1862, at Amissville, Va' Attended the public schools in the winter, working in summer, until 1822 when he entered the Normal Department of Wayland Seminary, Washington, D. C., graduating in 1888; then attended the academic department until 1887, and then Howard University Medical College, sessions 19 to 22, 1886-90, and graduated M. D. in 1890, since which time he has practiced medicine in the city of Washington; residence, 2710 P street northwest. He was married June 22, 1892, to Miss Alice S. V. Jones, of Washington, who, however, lived only a few months thereafter. He married again, October 23, 1896, to Miss Pauline L. Jennings, also of Washington. Dr. Marshall is president of the Medical Alumnii Association of HowardUniversity; state vice president of the Na- DR. CHARLES ONE OF WASHINGTON'S M tional Medical Association, and treasurer of the Medico-Chirurgical Society of Washington; incorporator and director of the Potomac Hospital and Dispensary, organized April, 1906, and at president medical director. He is identified with and active in all movements for the advancement of his race. He is prominent in religious, charitable and fraternal institutions; trustee of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church; one of the first subscribers to the Colored Young Men's Christian Association building fund for the District of Columbia; president of the West Washington Odd Fellows' Hall Association, and I may add that it was through Dr. Marshall that the arrangement was made to purchase the valuable residence with nearly an acre of ground of the late General Augur, U. S. A., as a permanent home for the West Washington Odd Fellows. He is also treasurer of the Young Men's Protective League, one of the largest and most influential fraternal institutions in the Nation's Capital. On November 5th, 1907, a "Free Daily Dispensary" was opened by the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, largely through the instrumentality of Drs.Marshall, James T. Walker, James C. Dowling, Charles A. Sewell and others; of which Dr.Charles H. Marshall was made chief of the staff. He has a lucrative practice and he is the owner of large and very valuable real estate in the District and in Virginia. A very conservative estimate of his present worth is forty thousand dollars. Owing to the doctor's extreme modesty he is averse to an interview touching his private and personal affairs; and it only through my long and close acquaintance with him that I am able to give to the public this information of so valuable a citizen. Charles F. M. Browne. Senator Foraker called to see the President a few days ago. I suppose that the President is convinced that the Senator is not an easy man to eliminate. --- Register Vernon Register Vernon GREAT RECEPTION TO THE BLACK ROSSIUS — HUNDREDS TURNED AWAY — DR. SHEP-PARD'S OVATION. The Hon. W. T. Vernon, Register of the United States Treasury, spoke in the large auditorium of the Baptist Church at Durham, N. C., on the evening of November 26th, 1907, to a crowded house. The meeting was presided over by Dr. James E. Sheppard, one of the secretaries of the International SundaySchool' Union, who is doing special work among the colored people, who introduced Register Vernon, followed by a tremendous applause. When the Register arose to speak he was greeted with great applause, which continued throughout the address. His subject was "The Negro in America." Among other things, he said: "All true Americans regard with extreme satisfaction the preachments and efforts for an era of good feeling on the MARSHALL. MOST EMINENT PHYSICIANS. part of the leaders of the North and the leaders of the South. "The coming together of the hitherto discordant elements in our body politic can but meet the approval of the patriotic citizens of the American Republic. "While this feeling of charity for all and malice toward none is ever increasing, we must all agree that it should be sufficiently inclusive to embrace the Negro, and that it will never have accomplished its full purpose until he, a necessary part of this republic, is the beneficiary of the same. "If such a spirit is necessary to the rehabilitation of the Southland, and the building up of the Northland as it relates to the American white man with his education, wealth and power—how much more imperative it is that the Negro, the weaker race, should be fostered and encouraged in the same way. The weak look to the strong, the ignorant look to the intelligent—look to them for aid, leadership, light and justice. Justice unalloyed, justice full and free, is that which the Constitution guar' antees and that which will bring a better day to our country. "The evidences of progress around me, the prosperity of the Negro which I have observed in the South, all convince me that there is here a spirit of mutual helpfulness between the races. "This is gratifying and reassuring to those of us who desire this better era. The elimination of selfishness on the part of both races should be sought after. The economic phase of the question should not be confused with the racial phase. "It may be difficult for some to always realize that race prejudice should have no part in business relations. Wherever the Negro mawes himself competent and worthy his color should not bar him from remunerative employment and protection of the laws in the performance of his tasks. The better element of the white race should and do look with favor and satisfaction upon the efforts of the sturdy progressive Negro. He in turn asks and should receive their protection from any ills which may be visited upon him because of his race. Feeling secure he will more industriously strive to become a factor for the commercial and industrial uplift of his com- --- The sum total of the progress of his locality will be hindered or helped by his individual status. So then, the protection of the laws, the opportunity to thrive should be guaranteed him on the one hand and should be accepted by him on the other. This interdependence of the white man and the Negro must be acknowledged by all who see the right and strive for the same. "I am always optimistic with regard to the final outcome of this question. The patience, industry, fidelity, hopefulness and splendid endeavor of the Negro through long generations are an earnest of the indestructibility which always counts in the lives of nations. "These qualities have always made for me the splendid triumph of the American white man, and I believe the better natures of a people who have thus succeeded will be appealed to successfully by weaker people traveling the same pathway. It is because of this that I have faith beyond the discouragements placed before us by any who doubt the final success of the Negro. To educate out of the ignoble into the noble, from the lower to the higher, from narrowness to broader vision,from badness to goodness is the supreme duty of all who see the light. Unbiased educators, statesmen and publicists of the highest order are everywhere arguing for an enlightened citizenship which will include the Negro. In a country such as ours, where bayonets do not control, where the ballot is sovereign, where law is King, our Republican form of government is protected and secure when civic virtue of the highest order is in the ascendant. "It was an inspiring sight a few days ago to see Theodore Roosevelt, the President of the United States, Andrew Carnegie the philanthropist, James Bryce the diplomat, and James R. Garfield the statesman, lay aside pressing duties and weight responsibilities, to participate in the fortieth anniversary exercises of one of the great institutions of learning where hundreds of Negro youth are being educated. The encouragement, advice and hopefulness propounded in the addresses of these men meant more for the race and nation than we can here estimate. Their philanthropic, unselfish act was but in line with the spirit of the age, which spirit is making for the amelioration of all untoward conditions and the betterment of all humanity. Such acts exhibit a lofty purpose, the outgrowth of the idea that service to others is paramount, and that no man's duty is complete unless it encompasses his duty to his fellow men as the city of Washington lying north of well as to himself. "As a race we must put ourselves at all times in harmony with this spirit. We shall be able to measure up to the same by making ourselves the highest types of manhood and womanhood." "If we lay well to heart these thoughts and demand of ourselves the best that is within us, we shall raise ourselves in the estimation of all the world and prove ourselves worthy of all the best men of America will finally secure for THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW When will Billie Chancellor return to Paterson, N.

The Fish University Jubilee Singers appeared at the White House during their stay here, and President Roosevelt expressed himself as being "de-lighted" with their tuneful folk melodies. They gave several very successful concerts at the various churches, under the general management of Mr. A. R. Ware and local direction of Mrs. F. D. Lee and James L. Neill. The delegation that called to see the President Saturday to thank him for the appointment of Attorney James A. Cobb ought to have waited awhile. AN OPPORTUNITY AN OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFE-TIME. For Every 5 Cents You Take Out $1.00 or More. Business reverses force me to part with some mining shares in a Gold Mine located in the famous gold mining camp of Cripple Creek, Colorado. I bought fifty thousand shares for an investment. Other interests which I must protect force me to relinquish them as I must have money at once. The shares are in one thousand lot certificates, hence I cannot sell less than one thousand shares. As an investment where the mount risked is so small and the chances for large increase so good, this opportunity will be hard to beat. There are only fifty certificates. Fifty people taking one each will absorb the lot; so, if you are interested, write immediately. I will be glad to give you full particulars as to location, prospects, what the showing is, how purchasers can keep informed regarding the developments, etc. Stock will be sent to purchasers through the express companies with the privilege of examining the shares before paying a cent. I want to name a price which will sell these shares at once, therefore I will sell for five cents per share or ($50) fifty dollars per thousand shares. Think of it, a chance to become independent for the price of a cigar, a soda water, or chewing gum. If you have not got the money to spare, don't buy these shares; but on the other hand if you can afford to wait for the mine to be developed, then get some of these shares at once, for I firmly believe that within two years these shares will be easily sold at a price much higher than the one I am making. The camp is being developed on a very large scale, and the results must and will benefit every mining property in the locality. To you who read this: This may be your fortune knocking at your door, so give it proper consideration. Be quick about it for someone is going to buy these shares and make money on them. Better take one thousand shares for the wife and each one of the children. That is why so many people are independent today, because their fore-parents bought cheap stock which grew and blessed the giver and the recipient. These shares are non-assessable; they won't eat anything; there are no taxes to pay on them. You buy them once and they are yours until you sell them. They may prove better than life insurance, with a cost comparatively nothing. Warte for particulars immediately. Good opportunities. Move swiftly.Grasp them while they are within your reach. Address PROFESSOR COOK ON "SCHOOL ARCHITECTURE." "School Architecture" was the subject of a scholarly and, interesting paper by Mr. W. W. Cook at the regular meeting of the Education Club Saturday evening at the Conservatory of Music. The speaker very cleverly presented the scientific side of the question, and showed how the modern school should be constructed to insure health, safe in case of fire, and convenient in handling a large number of students. Many educators from abroad were present as guests of the club, among them being Dr. W. D. Crum, Charleston, S. C.; Rev. G. Frazire Miller, Brooklyn, N. Y.; President Thomas E. Miller, of the State Colored College, Orangeburg, S. C.; President N. B. Young, Florida State College Tallahassee Fla.; Professor Heber Wharton Baltimore; Prof. J. H. N. Waring, Baltimore, and others. Prof. Kelly Miller, president of the Education Club, occupied the chair. UNITED REPUBLICANS.

One of the first rules in making cake is to see that the oven is of the right temperature. Then prepare the pan. Line it with ungreased paper. Do not lap the paper in the corners. Cut a piece as wide as the pan is long and have it long enough to extend an inch above the sides of the pan. Flt separate pieces into the ends. The paper can be removed as readily as when greased, and if the cake should get too brown on the bottom much of it will be removed with the paper. W. B. CORSETS The W. B.

Having the oven and pan ready, see that all of the ingredients are at hand, measured and ready for use. Butter for Cakes.—Butter should never be melted for cake, as it makes a cake coarse in texture. If the butter is very hard, allow it to stand on the kitchen table for a time, in order that it may be more easily measured and creamed. Measuring. — Butter should be packed solidly when it is measured, and dry ingredients should be measured lightly. Flour should always be sifted before it is measured. Mixing.—Two motions are used in mixing cake—stirring and beating. Use a stirring motion to combine the ingredients, and then beat to inclose air and give a fine texture. Always make beating the last motion. Baking.—Baking a cake requires great care. It doesn't matter how well a cake has been mixed, if it is not cooked properly it will be a failure. Have the oven moderately hot at first, so that the cake can rise. When the oven is too hot a crust will form, and be broken as the cake rises. When the cake has risen increase the temperature and bake until it shrinks from the pan, and when pressed lightly with the finger no impression is left. When all is said, experience is the best teacher in this, as in many other things. Jelly Roll—Yolks of three eggs, one cup sugar, two tablespoons thin cream, whites three eggs, one cup flour, two level teaspoons baking powder, one fourth level teaspoon salt, one teaspoon orange extract. Beat the egg yolks until light, beat in the sugar and cream, then fold in the egg whites beaten still, then the Motif and baking powder sifted to gather. Add the extract, beat well and pour into a dripping pan lined with butter paper. Bake for 12 minutes Turn from pan on to a paper sprinkled with powdered sugar. Remove the paper from the bottom of the cake, spread quickly with jelly which has been beaten, and roll up. Paper should be greased for cakes containing no shortening. Chicken Shortcake. Have chicken cut into small pieces then fry out about two slices of salt pork in bottom of kettle. Lay pieces of chicken over the pork and add a quart of hot water. After it has bollied a little while add salt and pepper, an onion if liked, cut up; cook until meat falls from the bones. 'Keep adding hot water as it boils away so as to have a quart of gravy when done. Thicken with heaping tabiespoon' of flour mixed with a little cold water. While chicken is cooking make a shortcake by the same recipe you use for biscuit, only use twice as much lard. Bake in a hot oven, split open when done, lay on a platter, break in pieces after spreading with butter, and pour the chicken and gravy over. I say break in pieces, because it makes it tough to cut with a knife. Cheap Batter Pudding. Beat three eggs with six dessert-spoonfuls of flour until very light, and then stir into it a quart of new milk. Add to it two tablespoons of sugar and a tablespoon of melted butter and flavor it with a teaspoon of essence of lemon or peach water and half a nutmeg grated. Beat it all well together and bake it in a buttered basin or mold for one hour. When done turn out and serve immediately. If preferred it may be boiled for two hours and served with white or hard sauce. Candied Orange Peel. Cut the peel into long, narrow pieces, soak three days, changing water two or three times a day. The fourth day put on stove, cover with water, and let simmer gently until soft. Then pour off water and measure the peel Use almost as much sugar as peel. If you have two cups of peel use one and three-fourths cups of sugar. Add only enough water to dissolve the sugar. Coll, stirring frequently, until sirup has almost disappeared. Roll in powdered sugar. Some people can the peeling after the sugar has become simply a sirup. Chocolate Custard Pie. Make first the regulation custard pie. When the pie is baked, spread over the top the following mixture and allow it to harden a few minutes in the oven. Serve cold. Chocolate icing for pie: Melt a square of chocolate in a basin on the back of the stove, but do not add any water. When melted beat in, one egg, a couple of tablespoons of pulverised sugar and a little vanilla.

FOR WINTER TABLE JELLY AND MARMALADE FROM THE PEACH. Dainties That Will Be Much Appreciated When the Snow Flies— Almonds Add to Flavor of Marmalade. Peach Jelly.—Take fine, juicy freestone peaches; pare and quarter them; scald in a little water, drain and mash them and squeeze through a jelly bag. To every pint of juice allow one pound of sugar and a few of the peach kernels. Having broken up the kernels and boiled them by themselves for a quarter of an hour in just sufficient water to cover them, strain off the kernel water and add it to the juice, mix the juice with the sugar; when it is melted boll them together 15 minutes until a thick jelly forms. Skim while it boils. Try the jelly by taking a little in a spoon and holding it in the air to see if it congeals; if after boiling it still continues to thin, it will congeal by stirring an ounce or more of isinglass, dissolved and strained. When the jelly is done put it into tumblers and make airtight. Peach Marmalade.—Take ripe yellow freestone peaches; pare, stone and quarter them; to each pound of fruit allow three-quarters of a pound of sugar and half an ounce of bitter almonds or peach kernels blanched in scalding water and pounded smooth in a mortar. Scald the peaches in a little water, mash them to a pulp; mix with the sugar and pounded almonds and put the whole in a preserving kettle; let it boll to a thick jam; skim and stir well, keeping the pan covered much as possible. Fifteen minutes and sufficient time for cold put in jars and dry place. A Tomato Waffle Pare six medium size toes, chop very fine, add spoon of salt, one fourth pepper, one tablespoon ed after measuring. No flour to make a thin grater; then beat three eggs and add. Sift half a teaspoon in a little flour before adding the waffle iron very hot upper and under lids, place spoonful of the batter intoition, close lid upon it and least one minute on each serving cut the sections arrange on a napkin. Serentree. Virginia Potato Busa Peel one pound of choice potatoes, cover with boiling water, minutes, drain and throw away.

Coxey Plans Crusade in Interest of Panacea for Economic Ills. Boston.—"Gen." Jacob S. Coxey, excommander-in-chief of the army of the unemployed, is preparing another tour of the country, the ultimate point of attack being Washington. His purpose is to educate the people of the United States up to his non-interest bond bill as the cure-all for the financial and economicills and allments of the country. This is but a revised version of the measure which he proposed when he visited Washington back in '94, but he is confident he will be treated with more dignity A. "GENERAL" JACOB S. COXEY. and will be given a more respectful hearing than on that memorable occasion. Circus methods will be employed by the Ohioian this time. He will make his crusade in a special train, carrying with him a great white tent and a complete outfit of all sorts of performers, high-priced and capable of entertaining the most select crowd when he is not occupying the limelight's space. He will make a campaign of enlightenment, the way having been blazed by huge posters, like the "big show," with all the alliterations known to the up-to-the-minute press agent. His idea is to make "Coxey day" a regular circus day in every community which he visits. All this, however, is dependent upon the output of his mining properties. "Gen." Coxey owns considerable real estate, below the surface of which he believes there is great wealth. In order to make his tour a success, he figures that he will have to put up at least $1,000 per day, and, while he is well-to-do in worldly goods at present, he cannot sign a check for such an amount just yet. "I propose," says "Gen." Coxey, "to make clear a plan that will do away with all possibility of corporate control of government; that will bring the railroads into public ownership without financial disturbance, that will, in short, enable us as a nation to master equitable distribution - as we have mastered production." And to do this he will affiliate himself with no party; he will not ask one cent from the nation, individually or collectively, for which he purposes so many benefits; he will be entirely independent and will pay every dollar of cost of the campaign of education out of his own pocket. A MEMORIAL TO EXPLORERS. Sun Dial Erected to Memory of Navigators Who Discovered California. San Francisco.—The ceremony of the unveiling of a sun dial erected in honor of Fortuno Jiminlez, Juan Rod- SUNDIAL SUN DIAL IN GOLDEN GATE PARK. riguez Cabrillo and Sir Francis Drake, the first three navigators to explore the California coast, took place in Golden Gate park recently on the four hundred and fourteenth anniversary of the discovery of America. This interesting monument is a gift to San Francisco from the National Society of Colonial Dames. The sun dial, which has been placed in front of the south wing of the park museum, and which is the only sun dial in Golden Gate park, is the creation of Sculptor Earl Cummings. In it one sees beauty and dignity from a distance, and it loses nothing through close examination. Across the face of this solar timepiece is inscribed the lines, "Horam sole nolente neco," which to the student of dead language translates, "I tell not the hour when the sun will not." The truth of the legend is obvious. Dynamos Driven By Gas Engines. Dynamos have been sucessfully and economically driven by gas engines in Boston. THE KAISER'S ENEMY THE KAISER'S ENEMY GERMAN EDITOR WHO EXPOSED COURT SCANDAL. Herr Maximilian Harden One of the Most Remarkable Personages In His Country—Acquitted of Criminal Libel. Berlin.—Maximillian Harden, editor, who has just been acquitted of the charge of criminal libel brought against him by Count Kuno von Moltke, former military governor of Berlin, is one of the most remarkable and most striking personalities in the German empire. From the first day he dipped his pen in vitriol to flay and scorch the shams, absurdities, follies and crimes of the bureaucrats in German official life and the dictators in court and military circles, he has been a terror and a meace to the evildoer whether basking in the light of imperial favor or sheltered by the power of money. No one, from Emperor William down to the smallest official, "clothed in a little brief authority," escaped his forceful and savage pen. His merciless onslaughts on government by militarism and bureaucracy made him considered as the Dean Swift of Germany. His sardonic attacks on the emperor, in which he held up his majesty to ridicule, to the secret delight of millions, earned him three prison terms in a fortress. He has been called "the enemy of the kaiser," because he.knew no fear when presenting in his newspaper the emperor's idiosyncrasies in a slashing and sarcastic style, and the crime of leze majesty, when charged against him, had no terrors for him. Herr Harden has been barely 20 years in journalism, but in that time he has become a power for the betterment of political and social conditions in Germany. He started his career by writing for several papers under the nom de plume of "Apostata," a name which indicated that he had aban- MAXIMILIAN HARDEN doned everything in which he formerly believed regarding the beauties of military and bureaucratic government. When the young emperor dismissed the iron chancellor in 1890 Herr Harden took up Prince Bismarck's cause and fought the kaiser and all the prince's foes. This attracted the attention of the chancellor, and the young journalist and the embittered statesman became warm friends. He visited the prince at Friedrichsruhe and learned much of the intriguing and of the cabals of the court. His friendship with Bismarck increased his fame, but his unsparing criticisms of the court and of the emperor led to disputes between the editors of the papers to which he had contributed. His articles were in many instances too savage for them to print, and consequently they were rejected. This chafed the fiery writer, and he determined to start a paper of his own. He published the first number of Die Zukunft (the Future) in 1892. He made it a weekly review of radical tendencies. It was a big success from the start, for a man who had the audacity to tell the truth to the emperor in such a frank and fearless manner, regardless of all the public prosecutors of Germany, was nothing short of a revelation to the public. It was just what the sarcastic Berliners liked. And Herr Harden knew what they wanted, because he held a Berliner to his finger tips, having been born in the capital city in 1861. The public prosecutor did not ignore him for any length of time. In July, 1898, he was sentenced to two weeks' imprisonment for an article on the mad King Otto of Bavaria, and not long afterward he had to serve a sentence of six months in a fortress for leze majesty. He was allowed privileges, however, while in prison which are forbidden to the ordinary offender. In order to escape continual charges of leze majesty for writing about the emperor Herr Harden lampooned him repeatedly under the kalser's nickname, "Krause," which corresponds to the generic English name of Smith. With the intimate knowledge of the inner circles of high military and official life obtained through Prince Bismarck and Count von Caprivi, Herr Harden wielded the lash repeatedly and exposed many scandals. He also brought about many reforms. To Herr Harden opposition is everything, and when Count von Moltke charged him with criminal libel it brought out his viewers to the utmost, with the result that he was victorious in his shady situation in the courts.

Allow for one pound of fresh parsnips one pound fat salt pork and one pound potatoes. Chop the pork fine, pare the potatoes and slice thin; scrape the parsnips and cut in thin slices. Put a layer of pork in a stew pan, then one of parsnips. Repeat with pork, potatoes and parsnips until all have been used. Cover with cold water, season with salt, pepper and celery salt, thicken with a little Boston cracker rolled fine and set on the back of the stove where it can cook gently for three-quarters of an hour. Tempering Flatirons. The first right of a new flatiron is to be well tempered. To do this it should be allowed to heat gradually, and stay hot for several hours in succession without use, then it should gradually cool and be set aside. After this it should be allowed to heat only when wanted for use. The habit which some housewives have of "putting on the flats," at all times, lest perchance they should need them, will eventually spoil the temper of the best-tempered flatiron in existence.—Harper's Bazar. To Press a Coat. All pressing should be done on the wrong side, except the last or finished pressing. Turn the collar up, dampen and stretch. Hold up one end and press it the form of a loop, so as to keep the round effect. Dampen the revers on the padded side along the fold and press until dry. In pressing the sleeves, the shoulders should be placed over a pad. Then the entire coat should be pressed on the right side, using a wet cloth and a hot iron to give a finish. Columbia.

DREW IN NEW YORK One of the most inspiring exercises it was ever our pleasure to attend was held at the Mercy Seat Baptist Church on Thursday evening, November 7th, the occasion being the degree reception of Rev, N. E. Epps. There were many distinguished speakers present. Among them was Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, D. D., of Washington, D. C., who was introduced. Rev. Drew, is the successful pastor of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church, of Washington, D. C., and a man deeply interested in all issues which affect our race. Rev. Drew added to the large number of interesting thoughts already advanced, and among other things said that the Revs. Epps and Brown have had and are having notable successes in their church work this far, in that they each had built a church edifice. Rev. Drew elaborated on the fact that, considering conditions and environment oftimes encountered in the great city of New York, to succeed one must be up and doing all the time. He expressed T REV. SIMON P. W. DREW. the fact that he had known these gentlemen since their early ministry, and they deserved consideration, and as ministers, why not? For the gospel is one of the powerful factors in the solving of the race problem; its effect and influence are and should be far-reaching unto all people and conditions. As an evangelist I've seen and experienced some remarkable incidents which proves that the gospel is perhaps the strongest and most powerful factor in the great race problem. At the close of his remarks Rev. Mr. Drew introduced Lawyer M. Rufus White, Dean of the Law Department of Christ's College, Maryland, who, representing the institution named, conferred the degree of Doctor of Divinity upon Rev. N. S. Epps. It has been our pleasnre to listen to many excellent addresses, but from a viewpoint of innate oratorical ability and a most forceful use of language Dr. White easily ranks with our best speakers. REFORMERS REFORMED. It is sad as well as amusing when we read the declarations of William E. Chancellor and Roscoe Conkling Bruce as to the reforms that they intended to have made in the public schools, and the necessity of the Board of Education reforming the reformers. It is more amusing to see and listen to the "suave" assistant superintendent issuing orders to the teachers, as if they were slaves; and if they refuse to obey the haughty supervising principal, threatens to report them to the High Lord Chancellor. You will see the poor teacher with a bundle of instructions measuring two yards long, with a list of books that they must ready, equally as long. Aside from these burdens they must attend the meeting of the High Chancellor and his deputy and listen to an hour or more harangue. After this the teacher must go home, take a bite of food, no time to arrange his toilet, and back to a lecture, for which he is compelled to purchase tickets to the amount of one dollar and a half. Just think of it! If the teacher refuses he is given a gentle reminder by the supervising principal, who is a slave of the deputy High Chancellor. Since the investigation and the probable removal of the High Chancellor and his deputy there has been great relief in the schools. The deputy of the High Chancellor endeavored to persuade several of the male teachers to enter the examination for eighth grade principalships. The idea is that no matter how competent a female teacher may be she was to be demoted and the so-called eligible promoted. A GOOD WOMAN DEAD Mrs. Emma Meredith, mother of Mis Jessie Merredith, died quite suddenly, November 14. The funeral services took place from the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. Mrs. Meredith was a lady of Christian attainments, a devoted companion, and loving mother. She will be sadly missed by loved ones in her home. A host of relatives and friends mourn her death.

But the most pitiful phase of the whole thing is one day's experience of the teacher who besides teaching all day has to respond to a meeting of the principal at noon, a supervisor's meeting in the afternoon, where she remains until nearly dark; home, to swallow down her dinner; to a lecture at night; home again, to look over a plan and the studies for next day. This is a menace to anyone's health, and it does appear that the first essentials (health) for the successful teachers are made secondary by the officials. Dr. Tamlin Powell, Mr. Frankiin Alexander, Mr. Talbert Dowling, Mr. and Mrs. Butler, Counselor Zef Moore, etc. They were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Winslow, of No. 1204 R street northwest. THE TEACHERS' BURDENS. Editor of The Bee: In speaking of the "Reign of Terror" in the schools you should have spoken of the humanity that is out of them for as the teacher is in no position to complain we who are out of the schools should place before the proper authorities their many duties, who, if possible, will relieve them of the terrible strain of the awful conditions and the great pressure of the vast amount of unnecessary work in many of the grades. A few of their duties are as follows: Meetings - Parents' meetings every month; report of same sent to office; ```markdown ``` 100 ```markdown ``` $5.00 Comb, Brush and Mirror; good bristle; full length comb.

Success of Secretary of Treasury Is Typical of the Man-Astonished Cabinet by Direct Method Last March. Washington.—The success of Secretary Cortelyou of the treasury department in handling the recent complex financial situation in New York is thoroughly typical of the man, say his friends, who declare Secretary Cortelyou has never yet failed not only to rise to every emergency with which he has been confronted, but to rise above it. It may be forgotten by some that the very financiers in Wall street, with whom Secretary Cortelyou held daily conferences and who accepted his word and his advice as law, were less than one year ago opposing his confirmation as secretary of the treasury on the ground that he was not fitted by experience for the position. While the senate has rarely ever failed to confirm a nomination of a cabinet officer sent to it by a president and while the confirmation of Mr. Cortelyou was never seriously in doubt, nevertheless there was a decided opposition to him in financial circles in New York, which made its presence felt in the senate. Much of this opposition in the senate was charged at the time to animosity of individual senators to the policies of the administration in general with which they were out of sympathy. There was, however, a certain amount of sincere opposition to Mr. Cortelyou for the reason mentioned. Secretary Cortelyou took hold of the treasury department with a distinct understanding between him and the president that he was to run the department without interference. He had certain policies of his own he wished put into operation, not the least important of which was that he 1927 GEORGE B. CORTELYOU. determined to take the treasury not only out of politics but out of the stock market. This was revolution of the worst sort from a Wall street standpoint, but it took just one lesson to teach "the street" that it was face to face with a new regime in the treasury department. In less than a month after Mr. Cortelyou took his office he got his first baptism of fire. The March panic came on. There is no gainsaying the fact that the new secretary was nervous over the situation. He had his ideas how such things should be handled, but he had never applied them practically, although assured by sound financiers that they were practical. Right in the heat of the crisis, however, an opportunity came closer at home than he expected for an exhibition of his own confidences in himself and his plans. That opportunity came at a cabinet meeting. The cabinet was assembled and certain members of it who had been besieged by friends in financial circles to urge that the government come to their assistance crowded around the cabinet table with anxious faces. At the outset of the meeting not one but several joined in the request that the financial crisis be made the subject of the meeting. It is related that the president said he thought it fair that the secretary of the treasury should first be allowed to tell the cabinet what the trouble was and what he had done to remedy it. Secretary Cortelyou in a few words laid the entire framework of the pending financial situation before the cabinet. In an equally short time he told the members what he had done to ease the danger of a panic and he concluded his remarks with this sentence: "That has been done and it is all that will be done." Until the cabinet fully grasped the comprehensiveness of Secretary Cortelyou's own remedies the members sat in open-mouthed astonishment at his audacity in bringing the discussion so abruptly to a close. It was plain from the position he assumed that he would not welcome any further talk on the subject and when the cabinet members realized that all had been done that could be done anyway, there was really nothing more to be said. LA TRAPPE CHURCH. Ancient Edifice Near Philadelphia to Be Opened for Visitors. Norristown, Pa. — The ancient church of La Trappe, which inspired Longfellow to write some beautiful verses, is to be opened on request to any pilgrims who visit the quiet little spot, a few miles from here, where the historic church still stands, a little shaky in its old age but dignified and beautiful still. If you are sufficiently interested in such ecclesiastical landmarks as to take a trolley trip to La Trappe the keys will be found for you and the ancient and THE TROLLEY ANCIENT PULPIT OF OLD LA TRAPPE CHURCH. rusty lock turned for your admittance. Within the church you will see the unpainted pews just as they were nailed together by the ploneers. The woodwork is worn smooth by the pressure of successive generations of worshipers on the high backs of the pews, but just as they were constructed in 1743 so they appear to-day. In one corner a quaint old pulpit of walnut, with the high sounding board of ancient days, is the most ornate feature, while upstairs there is all that remains of the pipe organ that was imported from Europe soon after the congregation settled down in its fine new church. What with the antics of the soldiers during the revolutionary war, when music for ribald barrack room ballads was played on the old instrument, and the attacks of vandals and relic hunters, there is little left of the organ but the frame. The pews, the records tell us, were occupied by the men on one side and the women on the other, while the apprentices, servants and children were watched over by the sexton in the gallery above. There is some controversy as to the origin of the name La Trappe. It is generally conceded, however, that it originated from the remark of an early settler who had visited a little tavern in the vicinity and who, on being scolded by his wife, stated that he had fallen into the "trap" on his way home. A curious inscription in the graveyard adjoining the old church records that one John Favinger was born in 1774 and died in 1721, "aged 47 years and seven days." It isn't recorded that the "trap" was responsible for this, but such may have been the case. DECLINES DIPLOMATIC POST. Bacon Does Not Want to Be Ambassador to Germany. Washington.—The resignation of Charlemagne Tower, of Pennsylvania, as American ambassador at Germany. J. ROBERT BACON: has been received by President Roosevelt and will be accepted. Announcement was made in Berlin recently that Mr. Tower would retire from the diplomatic service The president tendered the ambassadorship to Robert Bacon, of New York, the assistant secretary of state, and in doing so indicated in effect that he was so much pleased with Mr. Bacon's administration of his political office that he should greatly regret to have him leave Washington, but he felt that a selfish consideration of that character on the part of the president should not be permitted to stand in the way of offering to Mr. Bacon an opportunity which would be in the nature of an appreciation of his work and at the same time give him a chance for diplomatic achievement abroad. Mr. Bacon declined the offer, on the ground, it is understood, that he preferred personally to remain in the state department. SORCERY IN BRITTANY WITCHES STILL POWERFUL IN REMOTE REGIONS. Prophecies Harkened to with Bated Breath by Superstitious Country Folk—Priests Offer Little Opposition to Beliefs. Paris.—If the foreign motorist is venturesome enough to visit certain remote parts of Finistere and to take moonlight spins over the narrow white roads he will occasionally come across bands of peasants dancing in a circle around some decrepit old dame, white capped and holding a switch in her upraised hand. The traveler would naturally think that they were indulging in some harmless merry-making. Yet they are engaged in no less solemn a task than evoking the devil. This is only one of the mediaeval superstitions, some picturesque, some terrible, that cling to the Brittany country folk. In the less frequented districts where railways are few and the inns uninviting to the summer tourist local necromancers have a hold on the people unguessed by the Frenchman of the larger towns. There the prophecies of palmist and somnambulist are harkened to with fear and bated breath. Fishermen will tramp miles to the hut of some seeress to learn what luck the cards predict for the next expedition at sea. Strangest of all perhaps is the persistent belief in tallismans, incantations and love philters. When fishing craft are overdue it is not uncommon to find barefooted lasses standing on the rocks holding a magic amulet and waving their arms to the rhythm of some invocation for the return of their missing sweethearts. The sorcerer and the sorceress are important members of their communities and the position is usually handed down from father to son and from mother to daughter. The majority are feared and shunned by the peasantry. They live generally in some deserted lane, their house isolated from the dwellings of their fellow men. Mothers still teach their children that A nun A BRETON SORCERESS. sorceresses have the power of changing themselves into any shape, that four times a month they roam the fields at midnight in the guise of wolves, that they climb up trees and destroy birds' nests, set fire to wheat stacks, etc. So the boys and girls cross themselves when they meet witch or wizard, afraid of catching the evil eye. Yet those same children hurry to their village seer instead of to the doctor when they fall ill. Indeed in many districts physicians have complained to the authorities of this illegal competition. Certain toothless hags have a recipe and a remedy for every human ill and sorrow. These have been inherited from their great-great-grandmothers and are cherished as treasures. Others keep volumes of incantations locked in iron boxes. Katt Legall of Carnac in Morbihan, one of the most celebrated Breton necromancers now living, has a book which dates several centuries back. One recipe—for the casting of a curse—is typical of the mediaeval barbarism which inspires them all: "Procure a piece of clothing or some of the hair of the one to be cursed. Choose an animal which is the symbol of your victim. Kill it with one stroke, open the chest, remove the heart and for three days pierce it with thorns or red hot nails, repeating maledictions the while. Then the victim must feel all these tortures just as if his or her own heart had been so pierced. Shortly he or she will die." Not much opposition to these beliefs seems to be offered by the priests. Sometimes the church appears even to encourage them. At Treguler a chapel still exists where an altar is dedicated to Our Lady of Hatred, Pilgrims from a distance, sorceresses and simple peasant folk, kneel there and pray for the ruin or death of their enemies. When one sorceress was brought before the judges on the charge of having cast a spell on her husband she defended herself with this homely philosophy: "What, you accuse me of having my man under my thumb? Why, I've only given him a will and a mind in place of his natural cowardice and stupid to!" IF YOU WANT A PLACE To Boards ADVERTISE Go to HOLMES' HOTEL, No. 333 Virginia Ave., S.W.

Cheese and Olive Sandwiches Are Something of a Novelty and Will Be Liked—Uses for Tomato and Cucumber. For Cheese and Olive Sandwiches.—Work a cream cheese soft with butter and cream and add to it half as much bulk of ripe olives, chopped fine. Season to taste with salt and white pepper or paprika and spread the mixture on buttered bread, cut in thin slices. This is especially good on whole wheat or Boston brown bread, although it is also excellent on white bread. No one who has once eaten and enjoyed the ripe olives is likely to care much again for the ordinary green olives. Ripe Tomato Sandwiches.—Prepare a French dressing and dip into it slices of raw tomatoes peeled. Lay these between slices of thin white bread, buttered. Prepare these sandwiches only a short while before they are to be eaten or they will become sage. Cucumber Sandwiches.—These may be prepared in the same way as the tomato sandwiches, cutting the cucumber into very thin slices. Always trim the crust from the bread and cut the sandwiches rather small. They are much more dainty thus prepared. Christine Térhun Herrick, in Spare Moments. English Gravy Soup. Cut two pounds of beef (from the neck) into dice and fry until brown. Break two or three pounds of bones and fry lightly. Bones from which streaked salt pork has been cut make an excellent addition, but too many must not be used, less it make the soup too salt. Slice and fry brown a pound of onions, put them with the meat and bones, and three quarts of cold water into the soup pot; let it boil up and, having skimmed it thoroughly, add two small turnips, one carrot cut in slices, a small bundle of sweet herbs, and half a dozen pepper-corns. Let the soup boll gently for four or five hours, and about one hour before it is done add a little piece of celery (or celery seed tied in muslin). When done, strain in the soup, remove the fat, and when ready to serve let it bell up stirring in two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, moltened with a bit of the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Coverings for Cushions. The coverings for porch cushions always should be of some material that will stand laudering, such as denim, then gingham and turkey red calliope. For floor cushions nothing is more serviceable than the goods found in Mozambique curtains, as it bears all kinds of hard usage and expands to the weather. To make the covers so they can be removed and laudered, furnish a row of buttons on one edge, under the ruffle; work buttonholes to cover; or the ends can be tied together with ribbons. All of these cushions should be covered with good stitching under the outer cover. If you wish to embroider these cushions use bold, conventional designs and plain or cotton wash floss. Protect Apron When Scrubbing Take an old piece of carpet 18x2, round off two corners lengthwise; stuff with excelsor and stitch all around with a machine. Take a piece 14 inches deep and 43 inches long and stuff with excelsor. Fold over lengthwise and sew with a string to the cushion, starting from one point around the corners to the other point, leaving one side free. This forms a guard to protect the apron or dress from getting solled when scrubbing the floor Candle Grease. Candle grease yields to a warm iron Place a piece of blotting paper under the fabric and a piece on the top Apply the warm iron to the paper and as soon as a spot of grease appears move the paper and press again until the spot disappears. It will remove wagon grease. Rot the spot with the lard as if water is it and when it is well out, water is the ordinary way with soap and water until thoroughly cleansed. How to Cook Cocoa. According to a cooking school the cocoa is never done until it has cooked long enough to coat the spoon. It is boiled, of course, in water, the sea salt milk being added just before serving. It is said the cocoa should be from half an hour, to an hour. Person who have found cocoa indigestible often find it harmless when it is thoroughly cooked. Undercooked said to be the trouble when it is indigestible. Baked Peaches. very one knows that peaches based like apples with excel-sits. Peel the fruit, put into dish with sugar, bits of but-a cupful of water. Bake until tides are tender. A few chop-sprinkled over the top of the improvement. They should be cold. Baked Cauliflower but do not let it break; in the middle with a sharp the cut sides downward in each, pour over it about a of melted butter, slift fine of bread on top and set in it brown. Serve in bak- If one wants to be gaeerous and give a city friend a supply of lavender for her linen closet, give it in bulk rather than in made sachets. The lavender is so delightful sprinkled directly on sheets and pillow cases. So make a bag of crepe tissue paper and fill it with lavender, tying it loosely at the top with a ribbon. For a sleepless friend or one afflicted with that unromantic but distressing affliction, toothache, a pillow filled with hops will prove to be both "grateful and comforting." The hops should be gathered when quite green and dried quite slowly, so that none of their soothing virtue be lost. Such a pillow should be quite small, not more than eight inches long by six broad, as it is intended only to be slipped under the cheek. A fine handkerchief lawn makes the best covering for such a pillow.-Harper's Bazar. Tuttl Fruttl Cream Cake. Three-quarters cup butter, two cups sugar, one-half cup milk, $2\frac{1}{2}$ cups pastry flour, one-half teaspoon soda, $1\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon cream of tartar, whites eight eggs, one-half teaspoon each lemon, rose and almond. Filling—One-quarter cup figs, chopped, one-quarter cup grated cocoanut, one-half cup raisins, chopped, one-half cup walnut meats, chopped, one cup sugar, one-quarter cup water, white of one egg. Mix the cake in the order given, divide into three parts, and flavor each differently. Bake in three long shallow pans. For the filling, simmer the sugar and water until it threads. Pour it into the white (beaten till foamy), beat well, and stir in quickly the chopped mixture. Put this between the layers, then frost on top and sides. Summer Soup. Take one pint of fresh vegetables (or one can), one pint of boiling water, one pint of hot milk, one tablespoonful of flour and also of butter, a small teaspoonful of salt and a small quantity of white pepper. Cut the vegetables into bits and cook 20 minutes, or, if you use canned vegetables, ten minutes. While it is cooking make the milk, flour and butter into white sauce. Melt the butter, rub in the flour, add the hot milk and salt and stir and cook till smooth. Then press as much as possible of the vegetables through a wire sleeve and stir in and strain again, and it is done. Put a cupful of whipped cream into the soup tureen, if convenient, and pour the soup over it. Beef A La Mode. Take ten pounds of roast beef from round; extract bone; remove fat and make seasoning in following proportions: Half pound beef suet; half pound bread crumbs powdered; yolks of three hard-bolled eggs; two tablespoonfuls sweet majoram, sweet basil, and ground mace mixed; four small onions minced, season to taste with salt and cayenne. Stuff this mixture into boned cavity; make cuts in meat and stuff them also. Tie into shape; put into braling pan; pour over a pint of port wine; cover tightly and bake slowly five hours or until thoroughly done. Remove fat from gravy and stir in beaten yolks of two eggs. When onions are disliked substitute minced oysters. Schenken Noodles. Beat one egg slightly, add one quarter teaspoonful of salt, the same quantity of baking powder, one tablespoonful of cold water and flour sufficient to make a stiff dough. Mark and knead until elastic, roll to the thinness of a sheet of paper, dredge thickly with flour, roll up and out from the end in thin slices, shake in lengths and drop into boiling water for eight minutes cooking. Drain and place on a buttered pudding mold. Beat two eggs, add one cupful of milk, one cupful of finely chopped cooked ham and one tablespoonful of parsley. Turn over the noodles, lifting them with a fork. Set in a moderate oven until the custard is cooked. Bread Griddle Cakes Soak two cupfuls bread crumbs in two cupfuls of scalding milk over night, having the milk scalding hot when poured over the bread. In the morning rub the bread through a sieve, add a tablespoonful melted butter, the well beaten yolks of two eggs, and a cupful of flour sifted with two teaspoonful of baking powder and a saltspoonful salt. Add the stiffly beaten whipped whites of the eggs, and cold milk, if the batter needs thinning. Bake on a moderately hot griddle. Eggs with Macargons Take the yolks of six eggs and the whites of three. Crush two macaroons very fine, and mix them with the eggs. Add one tablespoonful of orange flower water, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and one ounce of melted butter. Beat as for an omelet. Butter a dish and pour the mixture in. Put it in a pot of boiling water and let it cook until it thickens. When done, sprinkle with powdered sugar, pass over it the salamander, and serve. Cabbage Salad. Dressing for one medium sized cabbage: Three heaping tablespoonfuls of flour, made into a smooth paste, two well-beaten eggs; add to three-fourths plnt of boiling vinegar, cook a few minutes and beat until smooth. Have ready the shredded cabbage, seasoned with salt, pepper, celery salt, and three-fourths cup of sugar. Pour the dressing over this and let it stand a half hour before serving. WORTH TRYING FOR CHANGE IN THE MENU. Cocoa Cookies Popular with Those Who Have a Sweet Tooth—Excellent Plum Pudding Sauce—Good Summer Cutlets. Cocoa Cookies.—Cream half cup of butter with three-fourths cup of sugar. Add one beaten egg and one-fourth cup of sweet milk. Sift together with two cups of flour, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoons of baking powder, four teaspoons of dry cocoa, and one teaspoon of cinnamon. Combine wet and dry mixtures. Bake 15 minutes in hot oven. Grape Jelly.—To seven pounds of grapes add a double handful of julice crabapples. Make the jelly in the usual way. It will be firm and retain its shape when turned out of the mold. Plum Pudding Sauce.—Cream together a cupful of sugar and half a cupful of butter. When light and creamy, add the well beaten yolks of four eggs. Stir into this one wine glass of brandy, a pinch of salt, and one large cupful of hot cream. Beat this mixture well. Place in a saucepan over a fire and stir it until it cooks sufficiently to thicken like cream. Tea Rolls.—One quart of flour, one teacup of warm milk, half a teacup of good yeast, two eggs, level tablespoonful of sugar, salt to taste. Mix into a soft dough at nine o'clock. Let it rise well; knead thoroughly, and make into small rolls, sprinkle slightly with warm water; set to rise again, and bake quickly. Mothers Muffins.—One-quarter cup melted butter, add two eggs, one tablespoon sugar, pinch of salt; beat together one teacup sweet milk, two cups flour, two teaspoons baking powder. Summer Cutlets.—Take half a dozen small cutlets of lamb and stew until thoroughly done, in good stock with a plentiful supply of soup vegetables. Take them out and weight them down with a board until cold. Brush over with glaze and ornament on one side with pretty colored vegetables, cut into thin strips and arranged to form a lattice pattern. Make a salad of the cold boiled vegetables with peas to predominate, and heap it in a dish. Lay the cutlets around the edge with the ornamented up and garnish the top with chopped aspic jelly. Simple and Attractive Salads. An odd and pretty salad is made of celery and apple. Instead of the usual crescents and cubes, the celery and apple are cut in long, narrow straws, mixed lightly with mayonnaise, and garnished with a fuzzy border of watercress. Another salad is potato and tomato. The freshly cooked potato is cut in very small pieces, placed in a bowl with a slice of onion. A French dressing is poured over while the potato is warm and whole allowed to stand for two hours in a cool place. When ready to serve a fresh tomato is peeled, carefully scooped out, filled with the potato mixture, and a large spoonful of cooked dressing, to which whipped cream has been added, placed on top. Codfish Balls. Pare six potatoes of medium size, and cut in quarters. Put one cup of raw salt codfish, picked into small pieces, above the potatoes in a saucepan. Pour boiling water about the potatoes, and cook until tender. Drain off the water and set in a saucepan, covered with a cloth, on the back of the range, to dry the potatoes. Mash thoroughly, and add pepper to taste. Beat an egg until white and yolk are well mixed; add gradually a little of the fishball mixture, and when well blended return to that in the saucepan, and beat thoroughly. Shape into balls and fry in deep fat, smoking hot. It is best to use a frying basket for this. Quick Pickle Two quarts of cabbage, one quart of tomatoes, one pint of onion, one pod of green pepper, with the seeds removed. Chop fine and mix thoroughly. Let stand all night, covered, then put in a colander or in a muslin bag and press out all the liquid. Season with a tablespoonful each of ground mustard, ginger, clinnamon, cloves, salt and celery seed. Cover with two quarts of vinegar, cold, and boil steadily until the vegetables are clear and tender. The pickle will be ready for use as soon as cold. To yellow the pickle tie two ounces of tumeric in a muslin bag and cook with it. Chicken Chartreuse. Chop very fine a cup of cold cooked chicken, add two sausages or six tablespoonfuls of cooked ham, chopped; three tablespoonfuls of bread crumbs, one tablespoonful of capers, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, a dash of cayenne, two eggs, well beaten, and enough hot soup stock to make it quite moist. Butter a small mold and pack the meat in closely, leaving space at the top to allow for swelling. Steam one hour. French Rice Pudding Welgh a quarter of a pound of rice, and put it into a pint of milk. Let it simmer until soft and all the milk is soaked up. When nearly cold, add one ounce of butter, the yolks and whites of three eggs, a little sugar, and the grated rind of a lemon. Mix all well together. Butter a plain mold and sprinkle cracker crumbs thickly over the butter, then pour in the rice, bake one hour, turn it out of the mold and serve hot. CARE OF SILK HANDKERCHIEFS. Precautions Necessary During the Process of Washing. In washing silk handkerchiefs care should be taken to prevent their turning yellow. A silk handkerchief should never be bolled, nor have any soap rubbed upon it. Make a lather of finely shredded white soap and water, wash and squeeze the handkerchief in it, press out all the moisture, and dry quickly in the sun; ironing them while they are still damp, but not wet. White silk handkerchiefs used as neckties are sometimes cleaned very well with dried and powered starch in which a little powdered blue has been mixed. The handkerchief is spread over a clean linen cloth, and with a pad of clean white linen the powder is rubbed over the silk, then dusted out, after which, with a moderately hot iron and two folds of slightly damped linen laid over the silk on the right side, the handkerchief is ironed, which brightens it considerably. SERVING UP COLD MUTTON. Fashioned Into Croquettes It Is an Appetizing Dish. Take a pound of cold mutton, chop it very fine, and mix it well with rather more than tablespoonful of flour. Chop an onion small and boil it in a cupful of broth and add it to the meat and flour, flavoring with pepper, salt and nutmeg, boil for five minutes. Pour the mixture on a plate and set it aside to cool, then divide it into small portions, making each in croquettes. Egg and crumb them twice over, and fry in hot lard which should entirely cover the croquettes. Drain well and serve hot, garnished with sprigs of parsley. If the mince should be too stiff, add a little more broth or boiling water. Housework and Physical Culture. Housework and Physical Culture. There are plenty of women who scorn housework, but are devoted to gymnasiums. Now, the best of all around, indoor exercise is to be found in the manifold duties of housekeeping. Dusting, even cooking, bring more than one set of muscles into play, and none of them is more destructive to the beauty of the hands than gymnasium work and outdoor games. We are not advocating the performing of all of the household duties, without assistance of any kind, but of parts of them. Of course, if you have a liking for the work, and the strength, do it all if you want to, but this is not advisable unless lack of money is the inducement. There are so many ways in which time can be profitably spent—What-to-Eat. Left Over Steak. When you have a small piece of cooked steak on hand, hardly enough to serve alone, try this plan: Molsten with hot water and reheat in a hot oven. Cut in long, thin pieces, finger lengths first. Make as many pieces of toast as you have pieces of steak, cutting the bread in the same shape. Make a gravy as follows: Cream together in the frying pan a small piece of butter and a spoonful of flour. Add gradually soup stock or any gravy until the mixture is smooth. Add one small onion, finely chopped, a few capers, and shreds of celery if wished. Put the bits of steak on the toast and pour the gravy over all. Jellied Chicken. Cut up a four-pound fowl, put in a stew pan with two slices of onion, cover with boiling water and cook slowly until the meat falls from the bones. When half cooked add a tablespoonful of salt. When chicken is tender remove and reduce the stock by cooking up three-fourths of a cupful, strain and remove fat. Decorate a mold with parsley and hard-cooked eggs, sliced. Pack in the meat freed from skin and bone and well seasoned. Pour over the hot stock and place until firm. In warm weather a teaspoonful of gelatin may be added to make the jelly firm. Chicken Curry. Cut a three-pound chicken in pieces for serving. Put butter in a hot frying pan and cook the chicken ten minutes, then add the liver and glazed and cook ten minutes longer. Use one third of a cup of butter. Cut two onions in thin slices and add to the chicken with one tablespoonful of curry powder and two teaspoonfuls of salt. Add enough boiling water to cover and simmer until chicken is tender. Remove the chicken, strain and thicken the liquor with flour, pour gravy over the chicken and serve with a border of rice. Imitation Buckwheat Cakes These are delicious to serve with maple sirup, and, best of all, perfectly hygienic. In the evening mix four cups whole wheat flour, one-half cup cornmeal, one cup wheat flour, and one-half yeast cake dissolved in a little lukewarm water. Add enough milk or water to make a thick batter and a half teaspoonful salt. Cover and let rise over night. In the morning add a half level teaspoonful soda dissolved in enough milk to make batter of the right consistency. Bake on a well-greased, hot griddle, and serve at once. Chop Suev. For two people use one pound of round steak cut for beef tea, in dice; add one pint of water, half teaspoon salt, and let it come to a boll slowly for about three-quarters of an hour; add one large onion cut in two, six medium potatoes, cut in small squares; boll quickly until potatoes are done. FRUIT ALWAYS GOOD MANY WAYS OF SERVING THE BLACKBERRY. Has Valuable Medicinal Qualities, as Well as Being Always Appetizing —Makes Excellent Catsup If Properly Prepared. The good old blackberry has a pedigree behind it and medicinal qualities recognized and appreciated by ancients and moderns. While most fruits are laxatives, the blackberry, fruit, leaves and roots alike, is among the mose valued astringents. Blackberry wine ranks high as a tonic, containing as it does a large amount of iron. Blackberry cordial is one of the most approved remedies in case of dysentery; while jams and preserves furnish a throat remedy that requires no urging upon the patient. From the fresh young blackberry canes a thick syrup is expressed, valuable for throat, mouth and eye troubles. Made into a vinegar, the blackberry furnishes one of the most refreshing and cooling of summer drinks. Blackberry Vinegar.—To make the vinegar, mash the berries to a pulp in an earthen or stoneware vessel. Add good elder vinegar to cover well, and stand in the sun during the day and in the cellar over night, stirring occasionally. The next morning strain and add the same amount fresh berries. Crush and over the whole pour the strained juice, and set in the sun again through the day and the cellar at night. The third day strain and to each quart of the juice allow one pint of water and five pounds sugar. Heat slowly to the boiling point, skim, and when it boils strain and bottle, sealing airtight. Blackberry Catsup.-Cover mashed berries with boiling water, slimmer 15 minutes, press again and strain. Allow for each quart juice a half teaspoonful each mace, clinnamon, pepper and white mustard. Cook down to about a quarter of the original quantity, add vinegar (pure) to make strength and consistency required, then bottle and seal while hot. Blackberry Jam.—Look over a gallon of blackberries, wash and drain. Put in a preserving kettle, pour in a pint of water and cook until soft, stirring and mashing with a wooden spoon to break up the fruit. Take care that it does not scorch. Take from the fire and press through a wire sleeve into a stone jar. Do not use tin. Stir this pulp thoroughly. Take a quart-of the pulp and put in a kettle with a quart of sugar measured light and previously heated in the oven. Bring to a boil, cook rapidly for 15 or 20 minutes, until it jellies when dropped in a cold saucer. Pour into small jars and when cold seal. Repeat the cooking with another quart of the pulp until all has been used. The jam is easier and better prepared a quart at a time. It is a good plan in hot weather to prepare the berries one day, set away in the cellar and make the jam in the cool of the next morning. Serving Fruit. Fruit may be served, on a large round, flat dish, or in a fruit bowl or fruit dish. It is very pretty to use the natural leaves, if they can be procured, for garnishing the dish. The fruit should be passed and each person be given a fruit plate and fruit knife and finger bowl. The finger bowl is placed on the fruit plate and should be lifted and set to one's left before helping one's self to fruit. A nice way to eat an orange is to cut it in half and eat with a spoon. Plums, peaches and pears are eaten from the fingers; bananas are eaten from the skin. Pineapple is usually pared, the eyes taken out, the flesh picked apart with a silver fork, placed in a fruit dish and sugared and then served in a dessert plate and eaten with a spoon or a fork. Plum Pudding Jelly. Put one-half box gelatin in a cup of cold water and soak one-half hour. Heat one pint milk in a double boiler. When hot dissolve one cup sugar in it and $1\frac{1}{2}$ ounces melted chocolate. Put one heaping cup stoned raisins, one cup washed currants, one-half cup sliced citron, one spoon cassia, one of cloves into a very little warm water on the stove and melt. When the milk and chocolate are well mixed pour them over the gelatin and strain into a bowl. As soon as it begins to grow firm stir in the fruit and put in a mold, turn out on a platter and surround with whipped cream. Cucumber Pickles Wash and carefully dry 100 tiny cucumbers; place in a jar; put sufficient water in porcelain kettle to cover cucumbers. When boiling hot stir in salt enough to make salty to taste. Pour this over cucumbers; let it stand 24 hours; wipe and put in jars. Put enough vinegar in kettle to cover them; add one onion, sliced, 12 whole cloves, $1\frac{1}{2}$ ounces of mustard seed, and three blades of mace. Let come to boiling point; pour over the pickles; add three small peppers; place a tablespoon of grated horseradish and sliced onion on top. One Way to Clean Silver. Silver spoons as well as other small trinkets may be brightened easily without the addition of silver powder by placing them in an aluminum receptacle and pouring boiling water over them. Polishing should be effected by means of a piece of clean chamols leather, but in adopting this treatment it must be remembered that the silver never should be allowed to become tarnished. SPINACH FOR THE WINTER. Directions for Canning This Healthful and Succulent Vegetable. Pick over the spinach when, you have washed it and strip the leaves from the main stems without bruising them. Cover with cold water and leave in this to freshen and crisp them. In an hour's time transfer the leaves, dripping wet, to a granite or porcelain pot, adding no water except that which drips from the spinach. Set this pot or jar in a larger vessel of cold water. Cover the inner vessel closely to keep in the steam and set both over the fire. When the water in the outer pot begins to boil, open the inner and stir the contents gently with your wooden ladle to make sure that they are heated to the center. Cover again and let the boll go on for half an hour more. There should be enough liquid from the succulent leaves to cover the spinach when packed into the jars. Seal immediately. PROPER CARE OF SHOES. Application of Petroleum Ointment Is Good for Them. An excellent preservative of shoe leather is petroleum ointment. If a small quantity be applied to new shoes it will soften the leather, and if enameled leather will keep it soft much longer than ordinarily and render it less liable to crack. If worn shoes are cleaned and blackened and then rubbed with the petroleum ointment their appearance and wearing qualities will be much improved. Have a box of oats handy and when the shoes are taken off remove all mud and dirt, lace or button them, fill half full with oats and stuff the tops with crumpled paper. When necessary to wear the shoes empty them and they will be found to have kept their shape, and will not be drawn if they were the least bit damp when taken off. Evaporated Pearls. Soak the pears over night in lukewarm water, first washing thoroughly. When ready to cook put into a small pipkin or baking dish of earthenware, sprinkle with sugar or sweeten to taste with molasses; flavor with a little whole clove, cinnamon, or ginger, cover with water, then cover the whole with a close-fitting lid, and bake in a slow oven until the pears are tender and the liquid of a jellylike consistency. These are delicious served with hot gingerbread. If a gas range is used, and you do not wish to keep up the oven fire, simmer gently, covered, on top of the range, using either the simmerer or a small burner turned low. Summer Pudding. Prepare the dry bread as for dressing. Beat three eggs thoroughly, leaving out the whites; add one cup of water, one of milk; mix well, and pour over the steamed bread. Beat together well and boll in a thick vessel, stirring until solid. While hot add the beaten whites of the eggs with one-half cup of sugar. Stir briskly; then set aside to cool. Make a sauce of two teaspoons of flour, mixed dry with one-half cup of sugar; dissolve with a little cold water; then add boiling water until it is the consistency of thin starch. Drop in a generous lump of butter and after placing on each dish of the pudding, sprinkle with nutmeg. Tinting Lace. To color lace for a gown, procure a tube of oil paint, the color desired, and squeeze it into a cup of gasoline and stir until dissolved. Then pour into a larger vessel. Dip a small piece of the lace into it and if too deep add more gasoline until the shade desired is obtained. When it is the right color put all the lace into it. After a few minutes take out, shake gently and dry in the open air. Flowers and straw may be tinted by the same method. To Restore Cashmere. A good merino or cashmere is always worth the trouble of cleaning and remaking. Take three tablespoonfuls extract of soap and two tablespoonfuls of ox gall; add to this about two quarts of warm water and wash the cashmere in it, then rinse and wring it in cold water. If the material is of a very beautiful black it is better to add a small quantity of dissolved alum for rinsing purposes, and any other color washed by this process is rendered fast by the alum. Pickled Cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into small clusters, dropping them into scalding brine and boiling for three minutes. Drain, pack in a jar, cover with cold vinegar into which have been stirred a cup of sugar, a tablespoonful each of celery, mustard and coriander seed and whole white peppers, a dozen blades of mace and a small red pepper, sliced. Boll the spliced vinegar for five minutes, then fill the jars with it and seal immediately. Currant Sherbet Pick over, and squeeze in cheese cloth enough currants to obtain two cupfuls of juice. Add to this two cups of water and two cups of sugar. When the sugar is dissolved stir in the beaten whites of two eggs and freeze. Serve in sheerbet glasses and put on each glass a spoonful of very cold soft custard, in which a few chopped pistachio nuts have been stirred. Cleaning Kitchen Utensils. Wet a coarse cloth with bot. water, soap it well and apply to copper. Sprinkle powdered borax over it and polish with a dry cloth. We Carry an Unequaled Assortment of Medium and High-Class Furniture.

Wm. C. Martin, Attorney. Every negro man and woman who reads this piece, should acquaint themselves with the principles of the I. L. U. Grand Lodge man who reads themselves with U. Grand Lodge of Dayton, Ohio, and join it at once. ```markdown ``` There is no other Lodge in the world like it. Its principles are to protect and uplift all laboring people, men and women, colored and white alike—no color discrimination is allowed under its protecting banner W. G. CRITCHLOW, is allowed Grand President and Founder under its pro-tecting banner. The I. L. U. Grand Lodge was established May 1, 1902, and since then has started over 440 Subordinate I. L. U. lodges and initiated over 41,142 I. L. U. members; it has also accepted over 640 I. L. U. Members-At-Large, who are attached to the I. L. U. Grand Lodge roster. This Order holds a legal International Charter from Ohio, which grants it the power to aid and protect all Laboring People, gives it legal standing in the courts and guarantees honest dealings with all people because of state supervision. The Grand Lodge and each Subordinate Lodge does everything within their power to advance the conditions of the negro laboring men and women; they teach them to be true, honest and faithful; to be law abiding citizens; to do their work better and quicker; to secure better pay for what they do and to shorten their hours of toll so all our people can obtain a share of the laboring work to be done, with enough pay to support themselves and families as becomes good citizens of toll; and to secure for each member the right to learn a trade and work at it for equal pay with other workmen, no matter what race or color they may be. There is no color, race or sex discrimination under the banner of the L. L. U. The negro has an equal standing with all other members, and is eligible for election to any office in the Grand Lodge or Subordinate Lodges. Members of the L. L. U. are not allowed to suffer from want, for they are voluntarily THE I. L. U. GRAND LODGE 60 YEARS EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHTS &c.

For instances when a member dies it is customary for the Grand Lodge to give $100.00 to help out on the expense. After January 1st, 1908, it is proposed that the Grand Lodge give $25.00 to each male member when his wife dies, also the same to each female member when her husband dies; to give $5.00 when a member's child between 3 and 10 years of age dies and $10.00 when one over 10 years old passes away. In addition to this nearly every I. L. U. Subordinate Lodge maintains a sick and accident fund, out of which they give each member from $3.00 to $5.00 per week when sick or disabled. The I. L. U. Grand Lodge does not loosest about what it does in voluntarily assisting distressed members, but the I. L. U. members unite in saying that they are projected better under the I. L. U. Grand Lodge than in many other Orders who promise big things and do little. The I. L. U. Grand Lodge owns and publishes THE I. L. U. HOME JOURNAL a 16 page monthly publication of great interest to our people. An I. L. U. Membership Book will be recognized and accepted by any I. L. U. Subordinate Lodge in the world. Each I. L. U. member has the privilege of burying I. L. U. Grand Lodge Stock from $1.00 up to $100.00, which pays 8 per cent interest (or more), hence all profits made from the Publishing and Home Office business go right back in each dividends to the members who own stock. Any honorable negro man or woman lives where no I. L. U. Subordinate Lodge is now established, can join the I. L. Grand Lodge and thus enjoy all these benefits. We want a leading negro man and we want to become our Representative in each and every locality throughout the country. It is not necessary that you be a labor person to become our Representative, but we want honest negroes who wish to advance their Race. This work can be easily done during your spare time, and you will get big money from us by a little hustling after hours in helping to introduce and extend the I. L. L. Grand Lodge. If you meet with success in your locality, you will stand in line for a steady traveling position with a good salary and all expenses paid. This space is too small to tell you one-half of the benefits of the I. L. L. so you must write and we will tell you the reply by mail. Write us at once and learn all about the Order.
