VOL. 29 NO 6 Nerroes Bolt To Bryan NEGROES SATISFIED WITH HIS REPLIES AT INTER- VIEW. Offices If They Are Earned by Votes Nebraskan Refuses to Intrefere With Suffrage Restriction in the South, but Declares He would Not Veto a Bill Restoring the Men of the Discharged Battalion — Conference Is Called. From the New York World. Bishop Alexander Walters, of the Methodist Zion Church, received recently the report of a committee of Negro clergymen and educators who called on William J. Bryan a few days ago to ascertain his views and attitude toward their race. So satisfactory were his replies considered that an organized bolt of Negroes from the Republican party is being formed and open affiliation with the Democracy arranged. A committee is now in Denver endeavoring to have a plank favorable to the race inserted in the Democratic platform. Bishop Walters is arranging for a convention of leading colored men from various States to meet some time during July at Atlantic City to formulate definite plans for political action. The formal report, after describing the call upon Mr. Bryan and the preliminary talk, says: We stated to Mr. Bryan that there were three things about which the Negroes were intensely interested: "First — What would be the attitude of a Democratic administration respecting the restoring of the three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry discharged without honor by order of the President? "Second — What would be the attitude of the Democratic party toward affecting public sentiment so that the Negro might enjoy the benefit of the ballot in Southern States, and we might, at least, have a fair and honest administration of the laws that now disfranchise the Negro in toto? "Third — That a Democratic administration would do nothing to make conditions worse for the Negro than they now are, so that the Negro would lose nothing in the way of employment in the service of the Federal government. Mr. Bryan, answering, said that as to conditions affecting the ballot he was not free to discuss. "As to the appointment of Negroes, they had received by way of appointments from the Republicans very little. His policy would be to give the Negro such recognition as he was fairly entitled to. Personally he believed competent and qualified Negroes should be appointed and given recognition along with other citizens of the country, and where they support the Democratic ticket should be taken into account. "Mr. Bryan said that he regarded the discharge of the Negro soldiers without honor as outrage; that if the men were guilty they should be punished in the regular way by court-martial or trial by civil courts, as every citizen, black or white, ought to have a fair trial before he is punished in any way. "The committee said the Negro race had further complaint to make, and that was that the President had declared that if the bill pending in Congress to reinstate the battalion was passed he would veto it, and if passed over his veto he would refuse to enforce it. We asked if Mr. Bryan would give us assurance as to what his attitude would be in the event of his being elected President and such a bill was passed, and, further, if the President had authority to reinstate this black battalion, would he be disposed to act in the matter. Would Enforce Law "Mr. Bryan replied that any man elected president would have to take the oath of office to uphold the Constitution and enforce the laws, and if he was elected president and such a law was passed he would not hesitate to enforce it. "As to reinstating the Negro soldiers, Mr. Bryan could not say, for he did not know what his power would be. But if the men were not proved guilty, then the president should do all in his power to undo the wrong that had been put upon them. "Mr. Bryan agreed with us that he would let the Southern question alone, and turn off any question that may be asked having reference to the race question, and he would in his speeches refer in a well-meaning way to the duty of the President to enforce the laws passed by Congress, so we Negroes could show what it meant to enforce the law to reinstate our so'diers. "He thought the campaign method of the Republican party an Insult to the Negro and pointed out how friendly he had always been to our race." Will Meet to Plan Campaign. The revolt of Negroes from the Republican party had its inception at Chicago immediately after the Republican convention. Bishop Walters, who is head of the New York Diocese of his Church, is taking active part in the movement. He said recently: "In New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois any considerable shifting of the colored vote means the defeat of Mr. Taft; for in each of those States the Negro holds the balance of power. "The forthcoming meeting at Atlantic City is not to determine whether we will support the Democratic nominee. That has been decided already by the action of the race leaders in Chicago immediately after the Republican convention in sending a delegation to confer with Mr. Bryan and by the report just received from them. At Atlantic City we shall plan a campaign. The Negro vote is already divided, and I am sure that a surprising number will go with the Democratic party." Former Register J. W. Lyons is out for Taft. He says: "I went to Chicago for Foraker. I voted for I am still a Republican and cheerfully abide by the will of the party: I am for Taft now and shall do all I can to help elect him." Dr. Booker T. Washington seldom talks politics, but being such an intense admirer of Secretary Taft he was moved to remark in this wise of the relations of the Republican nominee and the Negro voters. Said the Wizard: "In its ultimate analysis I believe the Negro vote will go with practical unanimity to Secretary Taft. We naturally are Republicans, and in my judgment our hope lies in following our natural inclinations. I apprehend that we may expect little from the Denver Convention, because that convention may hardly be expected to be entirely friendly to our race." It is asserted that Dr. Washington suggested to Secretary Taft that he deliver at least two formal addresses during the approaching campaign, particularly to the Negroes of America. No definite conclusion was then reached, but those who are close to the throne are of the opinion that the Secretary will make his attitude toward the colored people very plain in at least some time during the next two or three months. The "third party" movement made no headway at Chicago, despite the abundance of money on hand, and the many secret conferences, tos ay nothing of the long journey to Lincoln to see Bryan himself. It is stated that Mr. Bryan declined to see the committee of visiting statesmen, who came as envoy to deliver unto him the Negro vote of the country. When a nominee was sought, around which the anti-Taft Negroes could rally, Senator Foraker telegraphed that the idea was suicidal and ordered his troops to disperse the raiders instanter. Pillsbury, of Massachusetts, side-stepped the honor, and Milholland refused to be offered up as a sacrifice upon the altar of a great "principle." With the Denver open door a midsummer night's dream, Hearst's Independence League a close corporation, the Socialists too wild to stand without being tied, and Debs' party invisible to the naked eye, the would-be bolters from Taft and Sherman are not finding their lot a happy one. Roscoe Conkling Simmons wailed eloquently through eight columns of solid eight-point type in the New York National Review last week. He wept in every paragraph and sighed disconsolately at the end of every separate editorial and in the story of the convention, he gave way utterly to his pent-up anguish, lost the last page of his manuscript, and yielded up the ghost in despair. Like Rachel, mourning for her children, Roscoe refuses to be comforted. Brother Simmons will realize by and by Negro's soreness over the Brownsville politics is a strenuous game, in which all is risk - regular 100 to 1 week when it comes out boldly in disapproval of the scheme to invite the Negro, arguing that it would not entice the Negro vote of the North, after Bryan's endorsement of disfranchisement in New York some weeks ago, and pointing out that it would demoralize the political status of the South, where the Democracy of today has its only sympathetic appeal. It confesses that the only radical difference between the Republican party and the Democratic party is the latter's emphatic insistence upon white supremacy. The Sun admits that there is no wisdom in playing on the Negro's soreness over the Brownsville matter, as everybody knows that the Democrats in Congress would PROF. BOOKER 1 WASHINGTON shots at every throw — and he who have voted squarely against the dissits in the game must not be a poor charged soldiers if the bill for resloser. Brother Simmons will come toration had ever reached a vote. The out in the next issue of his paper in support of Taft and Sherman, 'tis said. Mr. Fred W. Carpenter, for many years private secretary to Secretary Taft, will make a fine Secretary to March. Democrats of the South also know that to arraign the Republicans for its failure to protect the franchise of the Negro, or to b'ame it for Jim Crow cars and lynching, would be to hoist itself on its own petard. The truth of the whole matter is the President after the fourth of next The Wattersonian agitation for an "open door" for the Negro into the Democratic party comes too late to be effective, if, indeed, it could ever have secured a standing. It is the last desperate card of a discredited party, riding to a fall. Mr. Watterson has said some good things about the Negro in his ripe and mellow old age, and in view of his liberal speech at the Tuskegee meeting in New York last year, the colored people are willing to listen to him with respect. It is the opinion of many of us that he means what he says and thinks the time propitious to urge a division of the Negro vote on economic and fiscal issues. There is no doubt that Mr. Bryan wants the Negro vote of the North. He needs us in his business. He wants to be president, and isn't particular about the means that will land him in the White House. But neither he nor Mr. Watterson will have an ounce of weight on this proposition with the Southern Bourbons who will meet at Denver. The South does not want the black man in politics and will not have him, even if victory be the fruit of their acquiescence to his claim to the ballot. The Baltimore Sun, stronger in its place than the Courier-Journal is in Kentucky and the border Southwest, is brutally frank on the subject. It voices the sentiments of 99 percent of the men who will constitute the Democratic convention next The truth of the whole matter is a bad record on the Negro question that the Democratic party has such that it cannot appeal to our vote, if it would. It has a hard face, but not hard enough to do such a foolhardy thing, reasonable as it might look under ordinary circumstances. Mr.Bryan's notice that we have a stake in the tariff, etc., and that there are other questions than those of race, would have genuine merit were our citizenship and political equality conceded. The white man has no such problem, and is free to go where his financial and business interests seem to lie. With the black man it is different. We are tied hand and foot. To leave the camp in which we are treated with scant courtesy to go to another where we would be worse than slaves, would not indicate wisdom on our part. The ills we have are not a circumstance to those to which we would thus fly. Until the Negro's constitutional rights are removed from the balance, fiscal and economic questions must wait. The open door at Denver will not be realized. The Southern Democrats will not permit it; the Denver convention dares not risk the "horse laugh" of the country by offering it; the Negro will not use it if it is flung as wide open as were the gates of Troy when the wooden horse made its disastrous entry. Secretary Taft ceased to be the head of the War Department at high noon Wednesday, and Gen. Luke E. Wright, of Tennessee, is his success- sor. Mr. Taft will spend the major portion of the heated term at Hot Springs, Va. Mr. Fred W. Carpenter, his trusted secretary, accompanies him there after a few days of service here, and in all probability will be retained as Secretary to the President when his chieftain shall enter the White House next March. Mr. Loeb intimates that he will accept nothing at the hands of the next administration, preferring to embark upon a busingss career; but his many friends are not willing to have him retire from public life, and it will surprise no one if he should be prevailed upon to take a seat at President Taft's Cabinet table.

MISS HAISLIP MAY GO FREE Case Continued and May Be Dropped If Shooting Prove Accidental. The case of Miss Pauline Haislip, arrested Saturday afternoon by Policeman Dunn, of the Tenth Precinct, charged with shooting a small colored boy, Daniel Thompson, was continued this morning in the Police Court until July 15, at instance of counsel. The defendant declares the shooting was entirely an accident, happening while she was discharging a firearm when celebrating the Fourth of July. An investigation is in progress by the officers of the prosecution in an effort to verify her assertions. If it is shown there was no criminal negligence, and that the matter was purely an accident, it is understood the case will be nolle prossed. Miss Haislip is under $500 bonds for her appearance.

William Reed, of 2410 Snow's Ct., who was arrested by Policeman Embrey and Williams, of the Third Precinct, charged with shooting two persons last Saturday while celebrating the Fourth of July, was given a preliminary hearing today before Judge Kimball, of the Police Court, on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon. He was held in $1,000 bond for the action of the grand jury. It was testified that Reed was shooting a revolver promiscuously in the neighborhood of Twenty-first and K streets, one of the bullets striking a small girl, Kathleen Ray, in the leg, painfully wounding her.

Recipes Recommended by Famous Chef of Philadelpnia—Clam Puff and Steamed Clams Pronounced Delicious. Jules Pinjon, chief of the Cafel'Alglon, gives the following ways of serving strawberries, and he adds a delicious chicken dish for luncheon or supper: Strawberries Ferinia.—Select firm strawberries, wash and drain dry. Then they should be marinated in curacao, serve on top of a layer of lemon water ice and whipped cream; decorate with maraschino cherries. Strawberries Romanoff—Strawberries marinated in curacao and orange jules served in the shape of a timbale with whipped cream on top. Emlince of Chicken. Alphonse.—Saute in butter, red and green peppers. Add to this minced chicken and lobster cut in dice. Cook a few minutes and serve on a bed of hot boiled rice, with tomato sauce. Steamed Clams.—Soft-shelled clams steamed and eaten from the shells are delicious. To prepare them, wash well and put them without water in a deep covered pan and heat. When the shells are open they are ready to serve in a deep dish covered with a napkin. Each should be lifted from the shell by the end, dipped in melted butter and eaten as it is. Clam Puffs.—A dainty supper dish is made of one dozen clams chopped fine, to which are added the beaten yolks of three eggs, a dash of cayenne, one tablespoonful of milk and one of clam juice. Thicken this with flour until it drops thick from a spoon. Have ready a deep pan of boiling lard, and just before cooking mix through clams one teaspoonful of baking powder. Drop one spoonful at a time in hot lard and fry a light brown. Serve on napkin with watercress or quarters of lemon. Scallops Fried.—Dry a pint of scallops in a napkin. Roll in fine crumbs, then in beaten egg, and again in crumbs. Put into a wire basket and fry in hot lard until light brown, shake the basket well while frying so as to cook evenly. Sprinkle with salt and serve with sauce tartare. Creamed Scallops.—Dry scallops in a napkin. Make in your chafing dish a very thick rich white sauce with one cup of cream, one tablespoonful of butter and two of flour. Stir until smooth and thick and season with salt and paprika. Now add scallops and simmer for one minute; do not cook longer or scallops will toughen and shrink. Serve in scallop shells sprinkled with bread crumbs and browned. Scallops with Bacon.—Fry scallops and in another pan fry strips of bacon until they are crisp. Serve on a flat dish, placing bacon on the bottom of dish and heaping scallops on that. Sauce tartare should be served with this, but if this is not available, serve with quarters of lemon and cress.—Philadelphia Ledger. Nasturtium leaves and blossoms make delightful little sandwiches if prepared by putting both leaves and blossoms in ice water for a half hour before using. Then cut the bread in thin slices, butter lightly and lay on the lower slice of each matched pair a medium-sized leaf or several of the bright-colored petals. Sprinkle lightly with saltt, or spread with the thinnest layer of mayonnaise (just a suspicion, as you do not wish to lose sight of the aromatic pungency of the flower itself), and put together. This sandwich is particularly appropriate at a daisy and buttercup wedding. Jellied Prune Pudding. One-half pound prunes, three cups cold water, one cup sugar, one-fourth cup lemon juice, two tablespoons granulated gelatine in one-half cup cold water. Wash the prunes and soak in three cups of cold water over night. Cook in the same water until tender. Remove stones and cut up in quarters. Make a syrup of the prune water (there should be two cups) and sugar. Put the gelatine in the hot syrup. Add the lemon juice. Strain. When nearly cold add the prunes. Serve with cream and sugar. Silver Cake. For the silver cake mix a cupful of sugar with a half cup sour cream, adding a scant half teaspoonful of soda and a cup and three-quarters of flour. Lastly, fold in the stiffly whipped whites of four eggs and flavor with a little lemon. Bake in a bread tin, lined with buttered paper, putting in the batter in alternate spoonfuls. Bake in a steady, moderate oven and, when cold, ice with a plain white ice flavor with lemon or orange. Soft Gingerbread. Put into your mixing bowl 1 cup molasses, 1 teaspoon of ginger and 1 teaspoon soda. Stir these together thoroughly while shortening size of a small egg is melting. Add that and 1 cup of boiling water, then stir in enough sifted flour to make a thin batter, as for griddle cakes. Chickena' Feat.

Cooking in a little fat is not frying and amongooks is called sautéing, a word adapted from the French saute, meaning to cook in a little fat. This method, which to the amateur seems the easiest and is most generally practiced, is what has brought the frying pan and fried foods into just disrepute. It is almost impossible to heat the fat without scorching it and to cook in this way often means merely to partially burn the food. If cooking one side of a slice of fish, for instance, is accomplished successfully, when it is turned over, the cooked side, now the upper side, cools rapidly. The surplus fat on its surface must soak in and cannot be drained off afterward; the sides of the slice also are not seared immediately and soak more less fat. It takes more fat to soak than to fry in deep fat, for what it is not absorbed by the food is what, as it is searched more or less, and is imbied with bits of food. It is usually scraped into the kitchen watt. The fact has been proven many times by carefully weighing fat used and amount left over, after both deep frying and sautéing, that the least is wasted in frying in a large amount that gives complete immersion. Silices of fish, either egged and crumbed, or rolled in flour or meal, are fit for an epicure when cooked in deep fat in a frying basket and served unbroken. The average sautéed slice of fish needs a good deal of fixing to make it look well and a robust appetite to enjoy its mussiness. The best fat for frying is a question asked almost as often as what baking powder is the best. If we could have olive oil cheap enough it would be an ideal fat, but the best available frying medium is acknowledged by a majority of the best cooks to be good lard. If prejudice is strong against lard, use any of the substitutes in the market. Many of these are composed of vegetable oils and beef suet and to use them successfully one must follow directions closely as given by the manufacturers, for a vegetable oil will be hot enough to fry before it smokes or shows the blue vapor required in lard. Lard is the medium on which all American rules for frying are based. Some cooks for economy's sake add one-third beef suet and affirm that it is not noticed in the taste of the article fried, but beef suet is liable to detection wherever used as a substitute for other fats. BEST METHOD OF DUSTING. Household Duty That Is Not as Simple as it Seems. The proper method of dusting furniture has to be learned. It does not come naturally. Girls rarely begin with a duster in each hand, which is absolutely necessary to success; one in the left hand is needed to prevent leaving fingermarks when lifting and steadying the furniture. Each piece should be wiped lightly from the top downward to remove dust, and after the duster has been shaken out of the window, not over the carpet, the place should be rubbed again between the two dusters with both hands. This is a saving of time and insures all sides being equally bright. A damp cloth is the best of all dusters, although many women will not use one, claiming that it injures the polish on the furniture. This objection is absurd, for if the cloth is clean the moisture will not harm the furniture. It may remove the gloss, but this can easily be brought back when the surface of the wood is dry by rubbing hard with a dry, soft cloth. The advantage is that instead of allowing the dust to fly about the room it is all gathered on the cloth, which keeps it from settling anywhere else. When using the damp duster only go over a small space at one time, rinse the cloth well and there will be no danger of injuring the woodwork. Halibut Salad. Boll-a fine cut of fresh halibut, tied in cheese cloth, in salted water until tender. Pick it up thoroughly, marinate and keep it on ice until the time of serving. Then mix it with mayonnaise dressing, place it on lettuce and decorate it with radishes and olives, as desired. This salad is difficult to distinguish from that made of crab meat and is much less apt to make the partaker ill. Coffee Mousse. Whip one pint sweet cream untall stiff, then add a half cup very strong coffee well sweetened. Stir gently together, then turn into the mold, cover tightly first with a sheet of paraffin paper, then with the cover of the mold, and bury in ice and salt. Throw a piece of old carpet over the freezer and let rest about four hours. This will serve six persons. Mend Knit Wear. To mend torn or rent knit underwear: Place the portion of the garment to be mended in an embroidery ring; stretch tightly; apply the patch on the under side and stitch back and forth upon the sewing machine until nicely darned. This makes a neat patch. Iodine Stains. If iodine has been dropped on cloth, rub it with ammonia or alcohol. These will remove it. Then wash the material in water. TASTY MEAT . DISHES VARIOUS WAYS IN WHICH TO SERVE MUTTON. Silced and Broiled, with Currant Jeli. —To Barbecue a Roast—Mutton Harlicot—Utilize the Cold Meat In Pasties. Broiled Sliced Mutton.—Cut from the best part of cold mutton as many thick slices as will be needed. Mix together two tablespoons of currant jelly, one tablespoon of vinegar, one tablespoonful of the stock gravy, one tablespoon of finely chopped onion, two cloves, and half a bay leaf. Simmer for five minutes. Set aside, and when cool dip each slice in it and lay on a platter, pouring over all any surplus liquid. Turn several times in the course of the morning. Just before lunch drain the sliced meat, dip in melted butter, and broll slightly. To Barbecue a Roast of Mutton.—Mix a level teaspoonful of dry mustard, a dash of cayenne, and a half teaspoonful of salt; work to a smooth paste with one-third of a cupful of vinegar, add to this one tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce, one tablespoonful of mushroom catup, six tablespoons of tomato cataup. Prepare and place the joint—leg or loin—in the oven as usual. When thoroughly seared and beginning to color, take out and with a sharp knife make deep gashes all over the meat, pouring a little of the mixture into each cut. Return the meat to the oven, and in basting use any of the liquid which remains, together with the fat in the pan. Mutton Haricot.—Dice the meat. Heat as any cold mutton. Make a sauce with two tablespoonfuls each of dripping and flour browned together, and one pint of boiling water or thinned mutton gravy. Season well with salt and pepper. Add the sliced cold mutton, an equal quantity of parboiled potatoes quartered, and one-fourth as much each of white turnips and carrots sliced and boiled until almost done. Cook this haricot slowly until the potatoes are done, and when dished sprinkle with chopped parsley. Mutton Pasties.—To utilize the remains of cold mutton roast, make what is known as English raised pastry. For this rub into one quart of flour a quarter of a pound of butter; heat a half cupful of milk and in this melt another quarter of a pound of shortening. Pour this into the shortened flour and knead all to a firm, smooth paste. Keep the mass in a dry double boiler over hot (not boiling) water at the side of the stove, for it will harden as it cools. Take out a large lump of the paste, and with the fist work it up to a cup shape, gradually drawing the thinned sides upward. Pinch it round the bottom until you have a round, flat bottomed mold about $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches deep. Fill this with cold diced meat, season well. Work out a cover and fit it on, welting the edges and pinching it around. In making a number of these raised plies it is best to work out all the crust at first, then fill and top them." Brush with a little beaten egg and bake for 45 minutes in a moderate oven. Put a funnel in the slit on top of each and fill without gravy before serving. For Obstinate Peach Stains. This is a remedy I use for obstinate peach stains on linen, says a writer in Good Housekeeping. Place a tablespoonful of sulphur on a plate, add a few drops of pure alcohol and ignite. Over this place a tin funnel; wet the stain and hold over the small opening in the funnel. Allow the sulphur fumes to come in contact with every particle of the stain. The action is a quick chemical bleaching, which is effective for any stain on white goods. Be sure to rinse the material immediately and thoroughly in weak ammonia water, then launder as usual. Odor of Palnt. Put a kettleful of lighted charcoal on which has been thrown a handful of juniper berries, in the room, and carefully stop all openings, not forgetting the chimney. Leave the room closed for 24 hours, by the end of which time the smell will be gone. Of course no person or animal must remain in the room while the charcoal is burning.—Country Life in America. To Wax a Floor. To clean a floor to wax all paint and grease may be removed from it by using the following: One pound of quicklime mixed with one pound of washing soda and one gallon of boiling water. While the floor is very wet with this solution, sprinkle clean sand over it and scrub with soap and water. This will bleach the floor and it is then ready for waxing. Indestructible Doll. I have three little ones, too small to take care of dolls. I took a strong leg of a stocking and formed into a body, another strong leg for arms and legs. Stuffed with old stockings cut up into small bits and put on head of tin. This doll outlasts all other dolls. The children have played ball and abused poor "Lizsie" terribly in these two years, but she looks the same as when first made.-Chicago Tribune. Tongue Canapes. Cut bread into rounds, toast delicately, spread with potted tongue. In the center put a stuffed olive and surround with a row of chopped beef and another of chopped white of egg. Another way is to cover the tongue round the stuffed olive with chopped white of hard boiled egg and cover that with the yolk pressed through a strainer. ALUM TO KILL INSECTS. Guaranteed to Drive Away Enemies of Domestic Peace. Dissolve two pounds of alum in three quarts of water. Let it remain over night until all alum is dissolved. Then with a brush, apply boiling hot to joints or crevices in the closet or shelves where croton bugs, ants, cockroaches, etc., intrude; also joints and crevices of bedsteads, as bedbugs cannot live where this solution is applied. To keep woolens and furs from moths, be sure that none are in the article when put away; then take a piece of strong brown paper, with not a hole through which even a pin can enter. Put the article in it with several lumps of gum campher between the folds; place this in a closed box. Cover every joint with paper. A piece of cotton cloth, if thick and firm, will answer. Russian leather, tobacco leaves, whole cloves, also are used to preserve furs or woolens from moths. Mice never get into trunks or drawers where gum camphor is placed. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. If pecan nuts are soaked over night in water when cracked the kernels will come out whole. Sun blinds and shades should be unrolled and examined to see if they require mending or cleaning. The best way to mend a tear is to coaguline a piece of the same material on at the back. A garment made of almost any material may be creamed with tea. Make the tea strong and soak the garment will in it. Iron the garment before it dries and the color will be a pretty cream. The tea does not streak the goods as coffee does and is a prettier color and less expensive than the creaming substance that is bought. After cooky dough has been prepared instead of using a cutter in the old way turn out part of the dough at a time on bread board and with the hand roll a long round, roll about five inches thick. Then with a sharp knife cut off in small pieces about one-half inch thick; place in baking pan and give plenty of room to swell or spread. Will bake in perfect shape and is much quicker. IN THE HOME. An open fire is certainly a happy feature in it. Chairs that can be sat upon are a more necessary essential than some housewives think. In the living room there must be a softly shaded light placed low for reading and sewing. Readable books and magazines lying around loose are one of the important things. A carpet that can be walked on by the family is much better than one preserved for the sacred feet of strangers. Stitled "suits" of furniture are a good thing to avoid; also loud papers and highly colored pictures. As to tobacco smoke and dust—well, there have been homes with them and places without them that utterly failed to be homes. Cheerfulness and love and mutual accommodation as to tastes go further to make a real home than over-zealous spotlessness and everlasting oversight. Pan Stew. Take pieces of cold beefsteak, cut in small pieces, place in a frying pan until the bottom of the pan is covered. Dredge with flour, a little salt and pepper, and one onion chopped fine. Then slice cold potatoes and lay in layers on the meat; cut up a few tomatoes and place on top of the potatoes; season all with salt and pepper. Cover all with water, put the cover on and cook 20 minutes. Boil potatoes with the skins on the day before using. When the meat is boiled save some of the stock and put in when the meat and potatoes are mixed. Corn Starch Blanc Mange. Stir into one quart boiling milk or fruit juice of any sort (that from stewed raspberries or cherries being best) four rounding tablespoonfuls corn starch dissolved in a little of the cold milk or fruit juice. Stir until smooth and thickened, sweeten and flavor to taste, then cook in double boiler for an hour. Pour into small molds wet with cold water and set away to cool. When ready to serve turn out on individual dishes and serve cold with cream and sugar. A pretty addition to the service of this pudding is to encircle each mold as turned out on a glass or china dish with a row of strawberries, raspberries, sliced bananas or peaches. This makes an extremely decorative and inexpensive dessert. To Prepare Duck. To dress a duck so that it will not be an all day task, as soon as killed and while it is still warm, pick off the fine feathers, providing you want to save them for pillows. Then pour scalding water over it and wrap it promptly in a piece of old blanket or flannel and allow it to steam in this for fully ten minutes. Unwrap and pull off the coarse feathers, and with a coarse cloth (a piece of burlap is best) rub the small feathers and "down" off it with almost no trouble. Egg Dressing. One egg well beaten; add a tablespoonful of flour, a teaspoon of prepared mustard, one-half cup of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt and pepper, if desired. Beat all thoroughly, then add one cup of elder vinegar. Boil—stir constantly, or cook in double boiler—till thick, and add heaping tablespoonful butter. Wm. Cannon, 1225 111, 1227 711 Street, N. W.

Soak salt codfish several hours in plenty of cold water, put into cold water, and simmer gently about 15 minutes. Pick into fine shreds and add the same amount of mashed potatoes. To one quart of the mixture add two rounding tablespoons of butter, one beaten egg, and hot milk to molsten. Put into a buttered baking dish, brush over with soft butter, dredge lightly with flour, and bake until brown on top. Serve with a sauce made from two level tablespoons of flour, four of butter, one cup of milk, and salt and pepper to season. Add a hard boiled egg chopped coarsely and heat well, then serve. A Substitute for Spinach. The tender leaves of young beet tops or turnips may be used instead of spinach and make a pleasant change for the lover of greens. Thoroughly wash leaves to remove grit and boil until tender. Drain, press out the water and dress with butter, salt and pepper, stirring in a saucepan until thoroughly heated. The flavor is much improved if a little vinegar and oil are added on the table. This is better than serving it with the greens as many persons prefer the butter dressing.

Chicago—Frank H. Hitchcock, the ™man who ‘so successfully managed Taft’s campaign for the Republican nomination for the presidency, is now national figure. Naturally much has been written about thls man. There have been ‘psychological studies, more or less minute, thumb nail sketches, views and reviews, what not. He bas been depicted in many attitudes and por trayed from many polnts‘of view, The public, by diligent perusal of allthis mass of stuff, may acquire a deal of confilcting infotmation and end by siving it up in despatr. Yet there is nothing of a mystery about Bir. Hitchcock. He has brotght only « fresh intelligence and the most logical of brains to bear upon tho game of chess he has won by foreseeing every possible play before the hand of his adversary touched the pawns. To sum {t all up in a word, Mr. ‘Hitchcock has made the experiment of applying the principles of the trained scleatist to the analysis of polifical af- fairs. This makes him unique in American politics, and it may well be the forerunner of many of the political leaders of the future. No atudy of this young campaign manager which fgnored the two main elements In his intellectual makeup would be complete. He has the re- spect for orderly processes of the mind which characterizes the sclentist; he has the Imagination whieh fits upon the framework of the living voter. ‘These two qualities of mind, so rare in any Individual, are the things which strike the observer of Mr. Hitchcock. Lacking {maginatlon, he would have remained in a minor post in the de- partment af agriculture among his books and classifications. He would bave known more about the animal world and less about the living, strug- za SN en PERS NGI | Ni, 2S = Eh EZERINKER ge iN a Pe Ba \\\\ SOR OE G aN FRANK A. HITCHCOCR> bling world of mea. No one can doubt, who has met him, that sclence lost a close concise thinker when the politl- cal organizer throttled the experl- mental spirit in him. It 4s characteristic of the man that he looked on at the struggle of these two'téndencles In himself, In the early years, almost with {ndifference. He did not know whether he would turn out a scientist or a politican. As a matter of fact, he did not greatly care; he was merely curious to see which aide of nature would prove the strong- er and more vital. “I belleve that I cared for science genulnely,” he sald in his office at the Coliseum Annex one day while the convention was in sesslon, “Indeed, {t was my Grst love, only it was never perfectly In the ascendant. No man who has crossed even the outer threshold of the house of sclence can fatl to feel the thrill with which It In- spires the Inquirer. Its very aloofness 1s an added charm, but the man who succumbs to its allurements must let many things die in bits.” Mr. Hitchecck knows himself thor- oughly. Not that he 1s Introspectlre. ‘He Is far froin that, apparently, or at Teast from the kind of weakness that Srows too often from a habit of in. trospection. But he knows fuat where to Jay his hand on every avatlable bit of dynamic energy when the need arises, He does not\strike you as be- log selt-consctous, but as being polsed and very sure of himself. Mr. Hitchcock has always been a hard worker. with tremendous powers of concentration, and he varely de- serted his headquarters before m{d- night. This pace he kept up for six months before he was ready to come to Chieazo"and show the results. As a matter of fact, he has not allowed Aimee! a vacation for two years, and then he'tcok just the time that Is re guired for a steamer to make the trip across the ceean and back.

Some white cloth was smuggled into the prison, and for the other colors the men supplied parts of thelr red and blue flannel shirts. The varlous pieces were skiltfully sewn together, ‘This flag, placed against the roof of the prison, which was extremely high, was out of sight of the confederate guards. So It was under the folds of @ genuine stars’and stripes that the union comrades gathered on that Inde- pendence day and sang thelr songs of patriotism. At night the ensign was as secretly dismembered as it had been secretly put together, the parts were distribu- ted to those who had contributed them, and the address of every man who had a portion was written down by Timothy Regan. After the release from Libby prison, Regan began communicating with the men for the purpose of reassembling the flag. Progress was very slow, and often discouraging, and It was not un- til 30 years had’ passed that he finally qucceeded In collecting every piece, When the flag was remade. | Another long period passed before the story was made public.

ESTABLISHED 1880 The Bee concedes the nomination of Secretary Taft. It was the first journal edited by colored Americans that made the prediction. When everything was in doubt, The Bee declared that Mr. Taft would receive the nomination on the first ballot. The Bee's choice for president, as everyone knows, was Senator Foraker, and it was The Bee that first placed his name at the head of its editorial columns. As the campaign progressed, and long before the meeting of the National Republican Convention, The Bee said that Senator Foraker could not be nominated, and it predicted the nomination of Mr. Taft on the first ballot. Now that Mr.Taft is nominated,the question is, Will he be elected? He cannot be elected if so-called and self-constituted colored American leaders go and tell him that the opposition of Colored Americans amounts to nothing. The managers of the Taft campaign must not be influenced by colored American quasi leadership. There is, in the States where the colored vote amounts to something, a great deal of dissatisfaction among the colored voters, and if "Negro toadies" will tell the truth to the Republicans and the proper men, are given consideration a great deal can be done to quiet this disaffection. In this connection Dr. Booker T. Washington is in a position to inform Mr. Taft that colored American representatives must be consulted. The Bee does not mean the office-holding brigade, because there are but few men connected with the Administration that have any standing among the colored people. Mr. Washington must inform Mr. Taft that Mr. Hitchcock is unpopular among the colored representatives, and if his (Hitchcock's) attitude is to be the same in the conduct of this campaign toward colored Americans as it was in the campaign for the nomination of Mr. Taft, The Bee is out of it. Mr. Taft is an honorable man, and we believe that he would be friendly disposed toward colored Americans; but it must be thoroughly understood that the representatives of ten millions of colored Americans don't propose to be insulted by Mr. Hitchcock. It is, therefore, the duty of Dr.Booker T. Washington, who is closer to Mr. Taft than any other colored American, to give Mr. Taft to understand that, unless such a man is selected to look after the colored American votes, with such assistants as Auditor Ralph W. Tyler, the colored vote will for once desert the Republican party. The Bee feels confident that Dr. Washington or Mr. Tyler will not go to Mr. Taft with lies in their mouths, but they will frankly and honestly tell Mr. Taft the real situation. Mr. Bryan's answers to the questions put to him by the committee of colored Americans that went to Lincoln, Nebraska, has already had a telling effect on the colored voters. Not in the history of the colored race has there been so much uncertainty among the colored voters, and those who say there is none simply lie, and if the warning The Bee his given is not heeded the colored vote is lost to the Republican party. The editor of The Bee is receiving letters daily from all over the country asking for advice. It is up to Dr. Washington to inform Mr. Taft that the colored voter wants to know where he stands. THAT CHICAGO GAME. Here is the story told in baseball parlance: Roosevelt made up a nine that the "antis" said were punk hitters, slow on the bases, and not a real good pitcher on the nine. The first inning the Roosevelts went to the bat, and, contrary to expectation, began to hit the allies' pitcher, scoring a run. The allies, in their half of the inning, failed to hit Taft, and went down in one-two-three order. Then Foraker was sent in to pitch for the allies, and the Roosevelts failed to score for a couple of innings, but finely landed on Joey B., knocking him out of the box. Then Taft had a bad inning, owing to some bad coaching, and at the end of the fifth inning the score was a tie, umteen to umteen. In the sixth and seventh the allies got busy again, but the Roosevelts also got busy in their half of the sixth and seventh, knocking both Cannon and Fairbanks out of the box. The end of the eighth found the two clubs a tie again. In the ninth the allies tried to coach Hughes into using the spit ball, but though he tried hard he could not locate the plate, and he walked the first three men up, when Roosevelt came to the bat and cleaned up the bases with one over deep left field's fence. Lodge came right after with a nice single. Burton doubled, and Lodge was on third; Knight, of California, bunted, and the bases were full again. Big Bill Taft then lifted the ball over the fence, and again the bases were cleared, the score standing a walkover to a standstill. With the exception of a couple of innings, Taft pitched a magnificent game. He had a slow inshoot that was tantalizing, and as to his spitball, why, the allies simply could not touch it. Roosevelt showed himself the greatest captain that ever walked across the diamond, and he hit at a 400 clip. The same teams will never play against each other again, as the allies are satisfied the Roosevelts are too heavy a hitting team. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE. That there is a great deal of dissatisfaction among the colored voters cannot be denied, and if we are to believe present indications there is a revolt among colored Americans. Colored orators and politicians who are favorable to the election of Mr. Taft should not underestimate the colored American opposition to him. The Bee is a Republican organ and believes in the principles of the Republican party; nevertheless, it must admit that there exists in this country a feeling among colored Americans that must be appeased some way. Can this apathy be appeased by underestimating it and declaring that it doesn't amount to anything? No. By no means will colored Americans be satisfied with promises any longer. Those who will have charge of the Taft campaign must have colored Americans associated with them who are near to the colored voter. These men should possess character above graft. There is work to be done which cannot be denied, and it is hoped that the managers of the Republican campaign will see the importance of considering the suggestions of The Bee. There never was such a determined fight on the part of colored Americans as exists today, and if the managers of the Taft campaign BISHOP WALTERS. It appears, from the news as printed in the daily newspapers, that Bishop Walters is hell-bent for the Democratic party. He, Dubois and Trotter have communed with Bryan, and the sage of Lincoln, Neb., has spread the salve with the result that they announce that Bryan, Tillman and Vardaman are a delicious and appetizing layout for them. We hope the good Bishop, and his cohorts, will not be disappointed in finding gold in paying quantities. But they should remember that it will take considerable gold, and then some, even more than can be found in the Democratic party, to'repair a standing and reputation with their race. Colored newspapers come and go, but The Bee goes on forever. The Record was to put The Bee out of business; but The Record, where is it now? Ask Bishop Lampton and Editor Fillmore, but mention it softly. OUR SCHOOLS. Just why there should be so much uneasiness among the teachers in the colored schools,The Bee will endeavor to explain. Colored school officers seem to think that they have superior power over the teachers and that they must be subject to their rules and regulations, right or wrong. Take, for instance, the supervising principals. See how domineering many of them are over teachers. See the character of favoritism that exists in the schools. Does one suppose that Congress will continue to allow such? The Bee's best information is that Congress will investigate the colored schools especially. The Bee respects a college graduate when he is capable of delivering the schools. The colored public schools are filled with college graduates, but what have they demonstrated in the positions they occupy? So far as the colored public schools are concerned they are failures in them. Mr. F. L. Cardoza, who was recently appointed in the schools, should have been appointed to his former position as supervising principal. The fact of his reappointment in the schools was an evidence of his innocence of the alleged charges against him, upon which he was removed from the public schools after a long farce of a trial. The place to which Mr. Alfonzo Stafford was appointed should have been given to Mr. Cardoza. He is entitled to the place. The colored High School is filled with college graduates, and today the ColoredHighSchool would succeed better by the appointment of, men who have graduated from our high std normal schools. IS THERE A DIFFERENCE? Elsewhere in The Bee will be seen two excerpts from the Washington Evening Star, which distinctly show the difference of justice meted out to persons of different nationalities. In one excerpt it is stated that a Miss Haislip shot a colored boy on the Fourth of July and that it was an accident. The Police Department, the report states, is making an effort to confirm the girl's statement. Is it duty of the Police Department to confirm criminal acts committed by persons charged with them? In the case of the colored boy, why didn't the Police Department exercise the same humanitarian consideration in the case of the boy who was charged with a similar offense? Is there a difference in the offenses committed? The colored boy goes to the Grand Jury, while the white girl is held at the House of Detention until the Police Department con confirm the statement. The ninth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League is to be held in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 19, 20 and 21, 1908. The day sessions of the League will be held in the Sharp Street M. E. Church. All of the night sessions are to be held in Richmond Market Hall, formerly used by the crack 5th Regiment, M. N. G., of Baltimore, and recently by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Ch. Richmond Market Hall is one of the most satisfactory assembly rooms in the whole city of Baltimore. The League is indebted to the Baltimore Negro Business League, of which Mr. Harry T. Pratt is president, for securing this splendid hall for the use of the League. His Honor, Mayor J. Barry Mahool, aided the Baltimore League in having this hall secured for the meetings. Upon petition of Mr. Pratt and other members of the Local Negro Business League, the City Council of Baltimore has passed two resolutions of interest to the organization, one providing for the electrical illumination by the city of Druid Hill Avenue during the sessions of the National Negro Business League and the other, for the use of the largest steamer belonging to the City Harbor Board during Convention week. Honorable. Harry S. Cummings, a member of the City Council, has given the weight of his influence toward having these two resolutions passed by the City Council. The citizens of Baltimore are well organized in various committees and are earnestly at work arranging details of entertainment,etc.,for the delegates. Officers, Life Members and Delegates, who are intending to be present, are urged to write Dr. L. H. Fenderson, 1418 Druid Hill avenue, Baltimore, advising him of such intention, so that proper accommodations may be provided. The far-reaching influence of the National Negro Business Leagug assures an attendance at Baltimore second to that of no former session of the country. It is altogether possible, however, for groups of individuals coming from such centers as Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, Atlanta, Birmingham, St. Louis, New Orleans, Little Rock, Nashville, Chattanooga, Jackson, Memphis, Kansas City, and other cities to secure such special excursion rates as are being offered to Washington, Baltimore, New York and Atlantic City. By arranging for stop-over privileges, delegates will be enabled to make the trip to Baltimore at an expense lower than the usual one and one-third rate, and at the same time visit the National Capital. Delegates are especially urged to begin making arrangements at once for special Pullman and Coach accommodations to Baltimore. If delegations are organized in each of the States they can arrange for special Pullman and other accommodations, securing privacy, comfort and congenial companionship en route. Local Negro Business Leagues are urged to begin electing their delegates at once. The names of all delegates thus selected should be forwarded to the Corresponding Secretary, Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Mr. C. F.. Adams, 934 S street northwest, Washington, D. C., will be pleased to co-operate in any way possible with city or State delegations in making transportation arrangements. Further information, if desired, may be secured from any of the officers whose addresses appear in the forepart of this announcement, or from: REV. CORROTHERS' DENIAL You will please allow me space to contradict a statement published in last week's edition of the Richmond Planet, that I, in connection with others, had decided to enter into no further opposition to the candidacy of Secretary Taft. I desire to state that unless there is something more tangible and considerate. of the rights of the Negro offered by Mr. Taft and his advisers I propose to oppose him with all the soul and strength that I possess. Register Vernon, Mr. Dancy, Mr. Tyler, Mr. Terrell, Mr. Whitfield McKinley and other persons referred to in the article, for whom I have the most kindly regard, may be rejoicing over Mr. Taft's victory, as the article stated, but to me it has been a matter of sorrow and regret. How any Negro can rejoice over the victory of Taft and Roosevelt while Roosevelt's unreasonable, un-American and unparalleled injustice against the Negro soldiers, all of which was indorsed by Taft, stands unaltered, is a mystery to me; and when you add to this the President's message to Congress, calling special attention to the criminality of the Negro, together with the "Lily White" movement in the South, which resulted in the elimination of the colored man from the councils of the Republican party, it is unthinkable that any Negro with one spark of race pride in his heart, and with the slightest consideration for his manhood could be happy. President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft have participated in the most destructive blow ever made against the liberties of the twelve million colored citizens of this country. Time will vindicate this assertion. There is only one hope for the American Negro, and that is to arise in his strength and defeat Taft at the polls in November; by so doing we will compel a reorganizaction of the Republican party, and in the reorganization the Negro will come to his proper place. Fraternally yours, S. L. Corrothers, D.D. WE WONDER If Dr. Jones thinks the steam roller came east from Chicago via Wilberforce, Ohio. If the Administration leaders realize the stupendous job they have before them. If John C. Dancy will continue as Recorder of Deeds whether Taft or Bryan or the Prohibition candidate is elected. If Dr. W. T. Vernon will not, as usual, prove a spellbinder in the campaign. If Lawyer King does not feel as though he took the proper step, even if it is hot weather. If Frank Cheek does not feel much ashamed of himself for stealing a march on his friends. If it is not time for Jim Cobb to share his good salary with some clever and good young woman. If some of the Negro department clerks who were so industrious in denouncing the President and Secretary Taft do not have a premonition that something might happen. If Bob Harlan, Sr., has as yet decided which one of the Cincinnatians, Taft or Foraker, he stands for. If some of the Ohio clerks do not realize that Ralph Tyler is safe on a nice, clean line-drive out of reach of the fielders. If there will be any more weddings in Washington colored society this summer. If the Republican leaders underestimate Bryan's strength; and Democracy's efforts to corral the Negro vote. If the people have heard the rumor that the fall-winter social season will be the most brilliant ever witnessed in Washington Negro society. If the Negroes of Washington will ever get a real industrial move on themselves. If the Record has been sold to any more people in the last twenty-four hours. If everybody knows that Washington Park is a cool and inviting place these hot days. If all Washington knows that The Bee has survived, and will survive all rival publications. JAPAN MAKES INNOVATIONS Japan is the only government in the world which takes upon itself the working of its lumber business, according to Consul General eHnry B. Miller, of Yokohama, in a report in which he quotes the director of the Japanese Forest Bureau. The Mikado's government has set apart a quarter of a million dollars to build sawmills and lumber roads, manufacture lumber in remote districts, and put it on the market. Except railroad ties for Manchuria roads, the Japanese government exports no timber. It is all needed at home. Many governments in different parts of the world own forests, but, as a rule, the timber is sold where it stands, and the buyer cuts and markets it. That is the way it is done in the national forests of this country. The Japanese government, however, proposes to carry on all parts of the work, from planting trees to selling the lumber after it has been manufactured. The report says: "Recently an official of the department of agriculture and commerce was sent to the United States, and others to Europe, for the inspection of the timber trade and forestry administration. A commission was also sent to India for the same purpose. A specialist on forestry in the same department is to be sent to South America shortly on a similar errand. The latter will thoroughly study the rubber plantations, and, if possible, bring back roots or seeds for planting on the Bonins and Luchu groups. "The Japanese department of agriculture and commerce, which established a sawmill in Akita prefecture in 1906, making a grant of $100,000 in that year and $150,000 in 1907 to develop the business, has obtained a vote of $150,000 toward the fund for the extension of the lumber business, and new government mills are to be established in Nagano and Aomori prefectures. Before the end of this year there will be nine timber mills in all in Akita, Aomori, Miyagi, and Kumamoto prefectures, all worked by the government. In many forests reserved by the government there is a very heavy supply of timber, but these forests are remote from railways, rivers, or seaports, and much expenditure of transport in order to make such timber available. District forestry offices will, however, not work mills regardless of profit, as strong competition is going on among them. It is stated that the government mills will only supply their products to merchants in Japan, and the works are not yet progressed to such a stage that the government can export direct. So far, the export of timber by the Government mills has been confined to supplying sleepers to the South Manchurian Railway Company.' LITERARY NOTES Within the next two weeks The Orion Publishing Company of Nashville, Tenn., will issue a new book from the pen of Sutton E. Griggs, already known to the reading public as the author of "Imperium in Imperio," "Overshadowed," "Unfettered." "The Hindered Hand," and "The One Great Question," the more notable of his works. The title of the forthcoming book is "Pointing the Way." It is written in story form, and the plot is said to be one of the most unique that has ever appeared in American literature. The general aim of the book is to point the way for the solution of the race question at its most acute point, the question of suffrage at the South. But wrapped about this question is a story of general human interest. Having ripened with the years, it is now confidently expected that Mr. Griggs will more than ever challenge the attention of the best thought of the nation. As an indication of the impression Mr. Griggs has already made on the thinking public we cite the following concerning him: "He is undoubtedly a man of keen brain, determined optimism,true spirit."—Chicago Record Herald. "He is without doubt one of the brightest and most thoughtful young men of his race."—Rev. P. B. Guernsey, A.M., ex-president of Roger Williams University. "I regard Mr. Griggs as one of the very best, informed men of my acquaintance in respect of the problem of the Negro. His thorough acquaintance with the facts involved and the remarkable gift in getting at the philosophy underlying the situation make him an authority in the olution of this vexed and vital problem of our time."—Rev. J. G. Merrill, D.D., president of Fisk University. "His work is uniformly strong and healthy, full of the fire of genius."—T. Thomas Fortune. FIVE DOLLARS DOWN. Do you want a fine home?

Sunday, June 27, Galbraith A. M. E. Zion had its Children's Day Exercises with credit and honor to the school. Dr. S. L. Corothers, of Galrblath Church, is one of the Washington pastors who needs no introduction; he is always on hand, ready and willing to do something toward the advancement of his people. This Sunday the children raised $51,26 as their Children's Day contribution. Miss S. J. Janifer, superintendent of the Sunday School, assisted by officers and teachers, had a very pleasing programme. Miss Janifer is one of the members of Galbraith Church who has spent her whole life working for the good of the cause and to do what she can in the Sunday School by teaching the children the right way and how to become good citizens. She is holding several portions in the general office of the Church and ranks as one of the foremost Christian worker. After the children had finished their part of the programme, Prof. R. K.

Almond, Cocoa and Pineapple Some of the Most Popular Ingredients Austrian Puffs a Delicacy Well Recommended. Almond Cakes.—The whites of six eggs, one pound of pulverized sugar, one ounce of ground cinnamon, a pound of almonds, blanched and chopped fined, and the grated rind of one lemon. Mix all together until quite stiff; roll moderately thin, using as little flour as possible; cut in the shape of stars and bake in a slow oven. Cocoa Cake.—Use one-half cup of butter, one cup of sugar, two eggs, three-fourths cup of milk, three tablespoonfuls of cocon, one teaspoonful of vanilla, one and one-half to two cups of sifted flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Rub the butter to a cream, add the sugar, beat well, add the beaten yolks of the eggs. Sift the baking powder and cocoa with part of the flour, and add flour and milk alternately. Make the batter stiff enough to drop; add lastly the beaten whites of the eggs. Pour the mixture into a well buttered pan, and bake in a moderate oven from 30 to 40 minutes. Pineapple Cake.—Cream one cup of butter with two cups of sugar, half cup of milk, six eggs beaten separately, three cups of flour, sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, mix well, and bake on jelly tins. Make thick boiled icing, in which squeeze the juice of two oranges. Spread thickly over the layers of the cake, and sprinkle with grated pineapple. Austrian Puffs.—Two ounces pounded almonds, two ounces clarified butter, two ounces of sifted sugar, two tablespoonfuls flour, the yolks of two eggs, one-half pint cream. Flavor with rose or orange flower water. Beat all together, butter the pans, fill them only half full, and bake one-half hour in a slow oven. Fig Cake.—One and one-half cups powdered sugar and one-half cup butter, creamed, one and one-half cups sweet milk, whites of eight eggs, three cups flour, thoroughly sifted with two teaspoonfuls baking powder. Beat the eggs to a stiff froth, and add the flour. Cut up the figs and let boll until a stirup is formed, spread on when cool. Favor cake and frosting-with vanilla, and spread flies between layers. Lemon Cake—Cream half cup butter with two cups sugar, the yolks of six eggs, and one whole egg, half a teaspoonful baking powder, half a cup of sweet milk, four cups of flour, flifted twice, the grated rind and juice of one lemon or one orange. Beat for several minutes, and pour into baking tin. Bake from 30 to 40 minutes. Perverte. But Plausible. When the house cleaning season comes it has always been customary to start from the top of the house and work down until the cellar is reached, but there is a "show" housewife who does not carry out this plan. She first cleans the top room of the house, then the cellar, finishing with the first floor. Her reason for doing this is because in cleaning the cellar, the dirt from the coal, etc., works its way up through the registers to the floor above, and when the first floor is cleaned before the cellar, she is compelled to go over it again, owing to the dust that settles on carpets and furniture. This is plausible and sounds like good reasoning. Test for Butter. To find out whether butter is pure, What To Eat gives the following method: Place a small piece in a large iron spoon and heat gently over a flame. If the butter foams freely on heating, it is butter, while if it sputters and crackles like hot grease without foaming, it 'is oleomargarine or regovated butter. Another way to examine sample is to put it in a small bottle, and then place the bottle in boiling water for five or six minutes. If the sample is butter the curd will have settled, leaving the fat perfectly clear, while if it is a substitute the fat is cloudy or milky. A Delicious Icing. Put on a cup of granulated sugar with a half cup of water, let it boil without stirring until it spins a heavy thread. Beat very stiff the white of one egg and into it pour slowly the hot sugar. Let the stirup cool a little before putting it in the egg or it will cook it. Beat steadily until the iceing is smooth and creamy. Just before it is too cold to stir longer add one ounce each of candied cherries, chopped citron, candled pineapple and blanched almonds. Chocolate Bars Beat six yolks with one cup of powdered sugar until light, add the juice of one lemon, beat five minutes. Have ready four tablespoons of flour, one teaspoon of cinnamon, one of baking powder sifted twice. Add to the egg mixture, fold in whipped whites of six eggs. Bake in two thin layers. Put together as soon as done with white icing. When cold cut in squares or oblongs and ice with chocolate icing. Sponge Drops. Beat to a froth three eggs and add one cupful sugar, beat five minutes; stir into this 1½ cupfuls of flour in which one teaspoonful of cream of tartar and one-half teaspoonful of soda are thoroughly mixed; flavor with lemon; butter tin sheets and drop by spoonfuls about three inches apart.

By This Device Three Dishes May Be Prepared at Once In the Same Frying Pan — Welcome The New Frying Pan.—For the woman who cooks for two a great convenience will be found in the new frying pan, in which it is possible to prepare more than one dish at a time, thus saving fuel, utensils and trouble. A picture in a recent magazine shows a simple frying pan, with ordinary handle and different only in having a partition in the center bent in the shape of a broad V. Another straight piece goes from the point of the V to the other side of the pan. This makes three compartments, and permits the cooking of three dishes at once. For the bachelor girl in cramped quarters who gets her own breakfast, any device is a help. Often her room or studio is equipped with only one gas burner, and it must be made to do as much service as possible in a limited time. Among the girls at the Art institute there are many who cook their own meals with slim paraphernalia. An actress in the "Road to Yesterday" company, recently said: "Many of us prefer to breakfast in our rooms rather than bother to dress and go to the hotel dining room early in the day." She proudly produced a tin cup and a spirit lamp "by aid of which," she said, "I can, in the course of human events, boll an egg and make a cup of coffee." Her ambition was to have a small gas burner and tube and a little frying pan of her very own. "Think of the Welsh rabbit I could make, after the play," she said. To such a girl and to thousands of her kind this new frying pan ought to be very welcome. Polish Tarts.—Roll some good puff paste very thin. Cut into three-inch squares. Brush each square with the white of an egg, then fold the corners so that they all meet in the middle. Brush over all with the white of an egg, slit sugar over them and bake in a quick oven. When done, drop a spoon of jam or jelly in the center where the ends join. Dried Peach Pie.—Until the fresh peaches get a bit cheaper, the average housewife will make her family content with pie made of the dried fruit. This is really very nice if carefully prepared. To the stewed and sweetened fruit add some sweet cream and a little butter. This, with some spice, makes the pie delicous, and is well worth the trouble and trifle of added oost. Cocoanut Pyramids.—These can be made in ten minutes in the afternoon if company comes in for a cup of tea. Beat the whites of two eggs with one-half pound of powdered sugar; beat well, until they will "stand alone." Then beat in one-half cup of dessicated (or grated) coconut and shape Everybody has some friend whom they wish to make happy. It may be mother or father, sister or brother. It may be a wife, or it may be a sweetheart and no better time than Christmas is so appropriate so suggestive. Nothing makes one feel happier than to gladden the heart of another.

For instance, a supply of paper folded in eight and hung in over the kitchen sink will be found convenient to slip under a hot kettle that has just been lifted from the stove. A store of full sized printed sheets should likewise be kept in the kitchen table-drawer, so that there is always one handy to spread over the table if necessary during work, which can be afterward burst. Prupes Without Sugar I wonder how many housewives know that prunes require absolutely no sweetening: I found by accident that if they are cooked slowly for "hours and hours" there is a sugar from them that nature provides as a sweetening. In other words, "they sweeten themselves," and if cooked long enough are covered with a rich syrup, without one grain of sugar being added to them. The flavor is also improved by this method of cooking them, and the oftentimes desiplied prune sauce becomes an enjoyable addition to the table.—Boston Post. An English fancy this, and a very taking one. Mix into a dough one cupful butter and three of sugar creamed together, three well-beaten eggs, a cupful of milk, two teaspoonfuls baking powder sifted with six cupfuls flour and a tablespoonful finely minced mint. Roll very thin, cut into squares and bake in a hot oven to a light brown. One large cup real wet, sour apple sauce, one cup sugar and the yolks of two eggs. Beat all together and bake in one crust as a custard pie. When done frost with the whites of two eggs and one tablespoon of sugar beaten stiff. Set in oven to brown. The English make their mint sauce with the addition of broth or concomme. To a handful of the finely minced leaves they add a half cupful each of water and broth, then four tablespoonfuls vinegar, a tablespoonful salt and a teaspoon of sugar. Mix well.
