Wichita Searchlight

Segregation is a God-send. Baltimore,—The Rev. Dr. Earnest Lyon, former American minister to Liberia, the principal speaker at the celebration of the forty-eight anniversary of the emancipation proclamation, created a sensation when he declared that segregation was a blessing in disguise. Dr. Lyon is one of the most influential Negro ministers in the South, and his utterances alway attract notice. After referring to the successful attempt made to deprive the Negroes in the South of their rights, he said: Collector Loeb of New York has just been rejected by the Union League on the ground of race affinity. Other Jews have received the same treatment. Now let us see if Loeb will squeal. He is not apt to. He will get even with h.s toes without using the inflignation method the conduct of these Jews should inspire us. gation, self-imposed is not such a bad thing after all. It may have bee a bad name and a questionsable origin, but it has help the colored people in this country. Wherever it previls the colored man has become an economic fact. Without it we would be without representation today It is a means in disguise to bring the race together, we object to segregation by law but the race wtuld not get together unless forced by unpleasant method This method stops that class that is trying to get away from the race. If colored men could get service in a white barber shop the Negro barber shop would likely be unable to maintain itself in its town. If white churches would admit Negroes to membership with equal privileges very few colored pasiors could be maintained in colored pulpits. Why is it that certain business enterprises among us do not reach any degree of sucess? the reason is quite apparent. Commercial Institutions run by whites show no disposition to disposition to discriminate against Negro patrons, this fact removes the necessity for pushing race organizations. Those prosper best in the South, whese conditions are severe. a Afro-American Voters. In the fight for honest election that is now being waged by the different political organization it is a noteworthy fact that the Afro-American is playing a large and important part. There was a time when no matter what the manner of the election was or the man to head the ticket, if he bore the stamp "G. O. P." he was certain of no questions asked by his colored colleague and receiving his vote in the bargains. But that is all changed and now to obtain the assistance whither small or great of the Afro-American one must bear the stamp of honesty capability and a near equilibrium to justice rather than the stamp of any political party or traction. A Fine Structure. Wichita's fine public meeting place.The Forum, is fast nearing completion and when completed will, beyond all questions, be the finest, most modern and most adopted building in which to hold public meetings of all kinds of any building in the west Every citizen of Wichita, regard less to race, color or nationality ought to feel a perculiar pride in this building. If you have not gone down to see this big building you ought to do so. Urges Negro Progress. West Point, Miss.—Strong address were delivered before the Mississippi conference of the Methodist Episcopal church by Prof D, C. Potts presents of the Miississippi Industrial college of the North Mississippi conference. Professor Potts gave a detailed report of the work done at the institution and declared that the enrollment at this time of the year far exceeds that of any previous year. He stated that the property was conservatively valued at $150,000. ane congratulated the Negroes of Mississippi upon giving so much for the education of their own children. I insist that there be no backward steps taken now in our --- racial progress, he declared. Our leaders in our various national organizations are pointing out the way and it is our duty to follow. We are passing from an era of inactivity to prosperity from dependence to independence from ignorance to intelligence, and are making advances in all lines of labor and industry.ual chance with to earn a livelihood justice has denied day they stand an unreasonable in nearly every 500 Negroes Conference With Clark. Bishop Alexander Walters, Rev S. L. Carrothers and Messrs Fergueson and O'Neil of the National Independent Political league recently held a conference in Congressman Champ Clark's committee room at the capitol in Washington. Mr. Clark gave the bishop and his committee a cordial greeting and listened attentively to their statement of the future policy of the league with reference to national politics. Negro Daily to Be Launch in Baltimore. A movement to establish a Negro daily is taking shape in Baltimore. The prime mover in the new venture is Hugh E. Macbeth, the energetic and optimistic editor of the Baltimore Times, which is said to be enjoying great prosperity. A capital of $100,000 will be raised to float the paper and plant, and it is stated that already a large portion of the money is in sight, to be taken up at the psychological moment. The daily is to be a strictly business proposition and will have a staff commensurate with the most rigid demands of the times- The paper is to cover Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia and will be published in the afternoon- Mr. Macbeth expresses himself as confident that the movement will be a success. Afro-American Workman It is well known fact that Afro Americans are in the main intelligent laborers and no class of laborers learn more rapidiy. They possess courage and bravery and they only want an eq- ual chance with other American to earn a livelihood. Race prejudice has denied them this. To day they stand confronted by an unreasonable racial prejudice in nearly every walk of lite. 500 Negroes Employed. Washington, D. C.—Of the 3, 500 persons who are employed here in computing the thirteenth decennirl census over 500 are colored. The work of the colored contingent as far as can be learned has proven eminently satisfactory, especially in card punching. Miss Eva Price of Atlantic Ga. who has been here since June holds the record in her division for punching cards, she on piece work aid averrges $8 a day. To Aid Negro Race. Tuskegee, Ala.—Bocker T. Washington head of the well known Industrial school for Negroes here has just issued invitations for an international conference to be held at Tuskegee of all persons in America and Europe interested in the education and improvement of the Negro race It is planned to hold this conference in January, 1912 and to bring together not only students of colonail and racial questionians but missionaries, teachers and government officials who are actually engaged in the work of aiding the Negro. The purpose of the conference will be to gain from those in attendance clean and definite ideas of the actual problems involved in the redemption of the Negro and to enable those engaged in similar work in Africa to see for themselves and profit by the methods emyloyed at the Tuskegee schools. Making Some Progress. Sometimes it seems that the volumes of Oratory the pages of writings the columns of printing and the hours of sermons-All pointing the Negro to the greatness to be achieved by race help was and is lost. Sometimes it seems that the work of these men and women of our race who are scraificing their all and all on the alter of the race that the race might be benifited—are in vain. Sometimes it seems that the race is paying little or no heed to the danger warming being posted everywhere. Dark and discouraging as such conditions might seem—yet the race is awakening to the needs of the hour. A comparison shows that the Negro is daily realizing the great benefits coming from race self-helps. The times not for distant when the whole world will learn this too. Woman's Place Sacred. If the woman of this nation would give more of their time in planing how to make their homes more happy and in properly rearing their boys and girls instead of devoting so much of their time in Club work—Society and yelling so loud for woman's suffrage, their would not be so many divorces, would not be so many disgraceful family homicides, and it would not be so essential for almost every state in this Union to enlarge their penal institutes and maintain Reformatories for neglected boys and girls. We believe in the axiom that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, we do not however believe this is meant to be the criminal world—but we do believe it intends to mean to rule that higher, grander and more noble world of stalwart, honest and upright men and women. Truly, then the place of is more sacred more needed and more important than in the Club Society or in suffrage. These things are burdens on womanhood which are every day talking from woman those ties which God gave her. Sound Doctrine It is, indeed not wholesome for the betterment of mankind when men and women will not endure sound doctrine. Every man and every woman should be a living exponent of right and justice and should be a perpetual enmey of wrong and unjustice. Higher ideals staunch woman and manhood and pure leaders should be the watch word of all. No race no nation, no family can use higher than its leaders, its head. Then it is of more than passing import than we should insist on the best type of leaders in every thing. Two Visitors The Afro-American Commercial Club heed a very enthusiastic meeting Monday night. In the absence of the president W. N. Miller the vice-president, Dr. F. O. Miller ably presided. The club had two distinguished out of town visitors with them in the person of Ex-Congressman Geo. W. Murray of South Carolina and Hon. W. P. Wade of Omaha Neb. Both made short addresses. The club is making extensive preparations for a big time on Lansas Day. Jan. 30th What's Next One of the wise councilmen of Kansas City, Mo. has introduced an ordinance in the council there to segregate the Negroes from the white residents. The next thing now is for some wise arce to introduce some measure somewhere providing what part of the air the Negro must breathe and what time of day Negroes must die or be be born. The casual observer will note that the Negro is not worrying much over such ordinances. Her Criticism. The five-year-old daughter of a Brooklyn man has had such a large experience of dolls that she feels herself to be something of a connoisseur in children, relates Lippincott's. Recently there came a real baby into the house. When it was put into her arms the five-year-old surveyed it with critical eye. "Isn't it a nice baby?" asked the nurse. "Yes, it's nice," answered the youngster hesitating. "It's nice, but it's head's loose." --- Antigulty of the Sausage. The sausage dates back to the year 897. It has been asserted that the Greeks in the days of Homer manufactured sausages, but this prehistoric mixture had nothing in common with our modern product. The ancient so-called sausage was composed of the same materials which enter into the make-up of the boudin of the French market and the blood pudding of the French-Canadian. The ancient sausage was enveloped in the stomachs of goats. Not until the tenth century did the sausage made of hashed pork become known. It was in or near the year 1500 that, thanks to the introduction into Germany of cinnamon and saffron, the sausages of Frankfort and Strassburg acquired a universal reputation. Took Precautions "You ran into this man at 30 miles an hour and knocked him 40 feet," said the court. "That, or a little better, I suppose," answered the chauffeur. "Why didn't you slow down?" "Mere precaution, your honor. Once I shut off speed and hit a man so gently that he was able to climb into the machine and give me a loosening." EXPECTS AMENDMENT TO PASS SENATOR BROWN OF NEBRASKA FEELS ENCOURAGED. He Has Heard From Every Governor On the Subject and Only One Against. Washington.—Senator Norris Brown of Nebraska, author of the income tax amendment to the constitution now before the states for ratification, is confident that favorable action will be taken this year by more than the requisite necessary states. He talked enthusiastically over the prospect of coming success. "I have been in communication by letter with all the governors and with the men in the legislatures who will introduce and push the ratification of this resolution," said Senator Brown, "and the replies I have received are more than encouraging. Of all those from whom I have received letters only one has declined to say anything favorable to the proposition. That was the governor of Pennsylvania. There is a strong sentiment in New England for this amendment and Governor Bass of New Hampshire has come out for it. The member of the lower house of that state who is to introduce the resolution writes me that he has canvassed the situation and if there is any opposition to the ratification he has been unable to discover it." The legislatures of all but seven of the states meet between now and June. Thirty-nine states, through their legislatures will have the opportunity to indicate their attitude on the income tax amendment. The senate passed the resolution submitting this amendment July 5, 1908, by a practically unanimous vote. The house, by a vote of 317 to 14, agreed to it on July 13. There must be a three-fourths vote to ratify it. Those states that have ratified it are: Alabama, Illinois, Maryland, Oklahoma, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas. WORK SEES A NEW PARTY Senator-Elect From California Predicts a Union of Progressives in the Present Parties. Los Angeles, Cal.—John D. Work, senator-elect, voiced the prediction here that there would be a new partisan alignment in the United States with the patriotic and progressive elements of both the old parties embattled against "the interests." "Progressive republicans and progressive democrats," he said, "were so nearly alike that one can hardly tell them apart. When the time comes for progressive democrats and progressive republicans to combine against the money power and the interests for the protection of our free institutions every true patriot will be found joining hands without reference to party." One Uncle Sam Oil Company Declares the Other Is Affiliated with the Standard. Tulsa, Ok.-Alleging in its reply that the United States postal department agents have at times been controlled by the Standard Oil company and that because of this fact the Standard has been able to have fraud orders issued against the Arizona and Kansas Uncle Sam Oil company filed an answer to the suit against it for $700,000 damages brought by the Uncle Sam Oil company of Oklahoma. The defendant company charges that its Oklahoma rival is an affiliated company of the Standard, organized and incorporated for the purpose of making it possible to secure the defendant company's mail. THE FOOD - TRUST IN A PANIC Contemplated Raids by Federal Inspectors Caused Drop in Prices of Cold Storage Products. New York,—Contemplated raids by federal inspectors on cold storage plants in this and other cities throughout the country, it was learned, were responsible for announcement by the food trust of a sudden drop in the price of eggs and butter. In a panic the officials, according to a dispatch from Chicago, began throwing $5,000,000 worth of eggs, butter and poultry that has been in cold storage into the market, driving down prices. Asks Market Pool Inquiry Washington.—An investigation of the department of justice to determine why it has instituted no prosecutions of the cotton and wheat manipulators of 1909 and 1910, is requested in a joint resolution introduced in the house by Representative Craig of Alabama. City May Print a Paper Kansas City.—The idea of the city publishing a weekly newspaper to print all legal advertising and record other municipal matters was discussed at the mayor's cabinet meeting. It was claimed it would result in a saving to taxpayers. Butter Price May Drop. St. Louis-The commission merchants of St. Louis say they expect the price of butter to fall below 20 cents a pound as a result of price reductions elsewhere. YOU ARE BANKING ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH HOUSE OVERRULED CANNON EFFORT TO DISREGARD A NEW RULE FAILED. After Sharp Debate Democrats and Insurgents Voted 145 Strong Against 126 Republicans. Washington.—The stirring scenes of the last session of congress, when the house overthrew Speaker Cannon and took the making of its rules into its own hands, was re-enacted in part on the floor of the house. Threatened with what they believed to be an effort to "draw the teeth" of one of the most important of the new rules, democrats and "insurgents" joined in the defeat of the speaker. By a vote of 145 to 126 the combined forces rallied to the support of Representative Fitzgerald (democrat, New York) and sustained him in his appeal from the speaker's ruling. The fight developed as the result of the second attempt to use the new rule which gives the house power to discharge a committee from further consideration of a bill that has been referred to it. The insurgents and the democrats believed this rule non-cad; that as soon as the consideration of bills by unanimous consent had been concluded, on every first and third Monday of the month, the house was bound by the new rule to take up the motion to discharge committees from the custody of the specified bills. When the vote was finally taken up the appeal from Speaker Cannon's decision, twenty-three "insurgents" and all but one of the democrats present, voted against the speaker. The result was the defeat of his ruling by a vot of 145 to 126. Fourteen members answered present, but did not vote because of pair with absent members. ONE POSTAL BANK DOES GOOD At Nebraska City It Has Caused Other Banking Institutions to Increase Interest Rate. Nebraska City, Neb.-The government postal savings bank, established in Nebraska City, has forced the local banking institutions to increase their interest paying rate in order to hold their time deposits. Before the advent of the government institution local banks paid 2 per cent on time deposits. When the government bank opened the local banks, both state and national, immediately increased their rates to 3 per cent. Funston Gets Jumped. Washington. — Another brigadier general has been jumped over Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston when Charles L. Hodges was raised to the rank of major general. Supreme Court Balked Washington—Members of the supreme court of the United States have balked at reading the entire record in the dissolution suit aga'nst the Standard Oil company. It takes twenty-two volumes of more than 500 pages each to tell the history of the litigation. Denver Sees Fancy Stock. Denver seeks Fancy Designer Denver—The sixth annual National Western stock show was opened with a parade through the business portion of the city. The show will continue through the week. President Taft Would Have Tariff Considered by "Subjects" Rather Than by Schedule. Washington, D. C.—That President Taft now favors a broader revision of the tariff than would be possible under the strict schedule by schedule plan was made plain in his speech at the dinner of the National Tariff Commission association. This change in his attitude, it is believed has been brought about by the statements of experts in which it has been shown that to revise the woolen schedule separately for instance, without reductions in other schedules which entered into the business of the manufacture of woolens, a great hardship would be inflicted upon the manufacturers. Consequently the president now favors a revision which shall include "subjects" as well as schedules. WORK IS NOT GOING SO FAST Decreased Excavations at Panama Due to Narrowing Trenches—Fewer Men and Machines Working. Washington.—The quantity of excavation on the Panama Canal begins to decrease monthly, probably for the reason that the steam shovels and dredges are getting into the bottom of the cut where there is less material and not so many machines can be operated. In December the excavation amounted to 2,946,404 cubic yards, against 3,006,037 yards in November, although there were two more working days in December and the rainfall was less by nearly half an inch. The amount of concrete placed was also less than in November, being 150,176, against 163,271 cubic yards. New Kansas Fast Mail. Kansas City.—A new fast mail train, known as the Kansas Fast Mail, originating at Chicago and running to Newton, Kas., 659 miles, will be inaugurated by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad. The train will leave Chicago at 1:30 p. m., arrive in Kansas City at 1 a. m., leave at 1:15 a. m., and reach Newton at 6:50 a. m., more than duplicating the service of the old fast mail, annulled three years ago. Mormons Arrested in Berlin. Salt Lake City.—A letter received here from Berlin, Germany, says the German police recently raided a meeting of the Mormon church and arrested those present. Many lay members are in jail, according to the letter, and threat is made that all shall be expelled from the country. Negro Postal Clerk Arrested Leavenworth, Kas.-Joseph A.

The New Building at Kansas City Will Be the Scene of "House Warming" January 27. Kansas City.—The Kansas City Live Stock Exchange, the Kansas City Stock Yards Company and the Interstate National bank are to have "house warming" in the new Live Stock Exchange building January 27. Five thousand invitations have been issued. Among those invited are city, county and state officials of Missouri and Kansas, members of the Commercial Club and the Mercantile Club, members of the grain exchange, the various live stock exchanges of the United States, railroad officials and cattle shippers, who patronize the Kansas City market, and bankers in the territory adjacent to Kansas City. NEW HEAD FOR COMMISSION Martin A. Knapp Is Succeeded by Judson C. Clements, Who Is the Senior Member. Washington.—Judson C. Clements of Georgia was elected chairman of the interstate commerce commission to succeed Judge Martin A. Knapp of New York. Mr. Clements is the senior member of the commission and is a democrat. While the commission is composed of four republicans and three democrats at present, it has been the uniform policy of the commission since its creation to elect its senior member chairman, irrespective of his political affiliations. The chairman exerts a powerful influence upon the operations of the commission, and, what is equally as important, is ex-officio one of the mediators under the Erdman act, which provides a means of adjustment of controversies that may arise between common carriers and their employees. IMMUNITY BATH FOR BUYERS Adams County "Best Citizens" Go Free While the Men They Purchased Suffer. West Union, O.—Charges of favoritism in the Adams county vote probe were made when it was declared that about 200 of the "best citizens" of Adams county have been given the immunity bath and are now legally as white as snow, while nearly 2,000 other citizens not considered among the "best" according to money standards, have been disgraced and disfranchised. The former represent the vote buyers; the latter the vote sellers. The 200 "best" constituted statesmen, business and professional men, got immunity for telling what voters they bought and how much they paid. TO TAKE GOLD FROM CLAY Edison Is Credited With Making a Machine That Will Cause Industrial Revolution. New York.—A process by which gold can be extracted from clay is near completion, according to Thomas A. Edison, who is working on a device in his West Orange laboratory. Edison has conducted extensive investigations in the south, where as much as $3 gold to the ton has been found in clay. Edison predicts an industrial revolution when his process is perfected. WESTERN RATE HEARING NOW Arguments Are Being Heard by Commerce Commission Against an Advance of 16 Per Cent. Washington.—Arguments against the proposed advance in freight rates on commodities were started before the interstate commerce commission. Ninety-two commodities, most of the necessities of life, are affected by the advance, which approximates 16 per cent. Rates in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Montana are involved in the increase. Battleship Arkansas Is Launched. Battleship Arkansas is Launched. Camden, N. J. The battleship Arkansas, the largest ever built by the United States government, was successfully launched at the yards of the New York Shipbuilding company here.

Lexington, Ky.—Mass meetings were held in 40 counties of Kentucky in which white burley tobacco is produced to vote on the question as to whether the 1911 crop shall be eliminated. Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia will hold meetings next Saturday to decide the same question. It is expected that the vote in the different states will be practically unanimous for the abandonment of this year's crop. Moh Lynched Three Negroes. Shelbyville, Ky.-Fifty masked men stormed the Shelby county jail here, selzed and lynched three negroes, two of whom were charged with insulting white women and the third sentenced to hang for the murder of a negro woman and held awaiting execution. Free Love Colony to Move. Waukegan, Ill.-The "free love" colony, established a few years ago on the banks of Wooster lake, near Engleside, Lake county, is to be moved from this section. The KITCHEN CABINET T ELL them which are bidden, I have prepared my dinner, and all things are ready.—Matthew 22:4 Some Dishes for Luncheon. The noonday meal may be one in which the frugal housewife is able to use the left-overs of the previous dinner, unless of course the dinner is served at noon. In that event, the supper dishes may be largely daintily prepared left-overs. If a bit of creamed vegetable, carrot, cauliflower or peas is left over, wash the sauce off of the vegetable in cold water and use them with salad dressing for a salad. Many times it is better not to combine several vegetables, but dress them with a salad dressing and arrange them in small piles on the salad plate, each in a lettuce nest. This is called macedoine of vegetables. When a few lamb chops are left over, spread them with a thick white sauce, well seasoned and mixed with two tablespoonfuls of chopped, cooked ham. Dip them in egg and crumbs and fry in deep fat. The chops, of course, are seasoned and cooked before the white sauce is added. A few peanuts added to a lettuce salad and French dressing adds nutrient and makes a pleasant change. A delicious dessert for luncheon is made by beating the whites of three eggs, adding six tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and three-fourths of a cup of grated pear with a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Beat all together until firm, and serve with a boiled custard. Quick Bread Pudding.—Cut thin slices of bread into two-inch squares and arrange in a buttered baking dish with layers of raisins or any bit of left-over canned fruit. Pour over it a pint of milk to which three tablespoonfuls of sugar and two beaten eggs have been added. A bit of cinnamon or grated nutmeg may be added. If any pieces of pastry are left in making a pie, cut them in tarts and fill with preserves or jelly. Surprise Pudding.—Mold boiled rice in a border mold, turn out on a stone platter, dot with bits of butter and brown in the oven. Fill the center with canned peaches, pears or apricots, drained of their juice. Pile whipped cream over the top, sprinkle with chopped nuts and serve. WE GROW like what we eat. Bad food depresses; good food ex- alts us like an inspiration. Fruits in Winter Market. The delicious pine apple is now obtained nearly all the year around. It is a fruit which contains a pepsin that is able to digest albuminous foods, hence it is a valuable aid to digest. Pine apple is especially nice with bananas, and combines with any fruit. Prunes are no longer despised, and the more expensive kinds may make a really elegant dish. Bananas are another fruit always in the market. Figs, dates and oranges are always with us. Many people find the banana hard to digest, but if a little care were taken to prepare them that difficulty would be overcome. Skin and scrape them carefully before eating, to remove the tough, stringy pulp, which is highly astringent. Bananas are served sliced, sprinkled with sugar and lemon juice, or with sugar and cream. Baked in their skins, many find bananas very appetizing. Serve with a sauce of sugar, lemon juice and butter. Bananas are good in combination with an equal quantity of sliced oranges; sprinkle with sugar and serve. Bananas With Cereal—Slice fresh bananas into a saucer, sprinkle with sugar, cover with boiled rice or any cereal and serve with sugar and cream. Cranberries are another wholesome fruit, reasonable in price and good to serve as a sauce or as an accompaniment to meat. When using them for pie, a way that is not common, is to use two crusts and cut up the berries or cut them in halves, adding the amount of sugar needed and bake as any fruit pie. If it seems to be liable to boil out and lose the juice, insert a paper funnel in the opening of the pie. The juice will boil up in the funnel and not then be wasted. Quinces are another popular winter fruit. The quince must be cooked to be palatable. For Baked Quinces, core and wipe carefully, fill the cavities with sugar and bake in a slow oven several hours, basting with butter and lemon juice. A Chapter on Soups. What keener pleasure may life hold for a housewife with a sense of humor than to see a family refuse sausages one day and gladly eat soup based upon these self-same sausages the very next night? Some jokes, of necessity must be enjoyed alone, though most pleasures are doubled by sharing." —Olive Green. Mutton and Potato Soup—Add one cupful of cold mashed potatoes to six cupfuls of mutton stock. Reheat, season to taste, and thicken with the yolks of two eggs beaten smooth in half a cup of cream. Panada—Put into a stew pan three quarts of beef stock and half a pound of stale bread crumbs. Simmer until the bread is soft, strain through a sieve, season to taste and serve. Onion and Cheese Soup—Slice four large white onions and fry brown in butter, adding two tablespoonfuls of flour. Add two quarts of beef stock and one quart of water, season with salt and pepper, and boil for ten minutes. Toast thin slices of bread in the oven. Butter a soup tureen and put a layer of bread in the bottom. Sprinkle with grated cheese, repeat until three layers of bread and cheese have been used. Pour boiling soup over. Let stand a moment, covered, and serve. Combination Soup—Chop fine pound each of salt pork and lean beef. Add a quart of baked beans, a bunch of celery, chopped fine, and a large onion sliced. Cover with cold water, simmer for three hours, rub through a sieve, reheat, skimming carefully. Season to taste, and serve. Bean and Tomato Soup—Cook together for half an hour, in cold water, one can of beans. Rub through a sieve, reheat, season with salt, pepper and Worcestershire, and serve with dice of fried bread. Never throw away any bones or scraps or trimnings of meat. If not sufficient to make soup stock, they will be an addition to sauces and gravies. A GOOD dinner is a brother to a good poem. Some Ways of Serving Apples. The properties of fruits of all kinds are so essential to our diet that they should be more often included in the menu. Apples are now a fruit that may be obtained all the year round. The malic acid which is contained in the pome fruit is especially valuable to counteract the uric acid in the blood, which is the cause of rheumatism. When served whole, apples should be carefully washed and rubbed to a high polish with a coarse towel. The Italian street vendors find that apples so treated look better and so sell better. An apple should never be eaten without washing it, as germs of all kinds may thus be carried into the system. Wash, quarter and core good eating apples, removing all imperfections. Serve a few quarters on each plate, with or without sugar. Fruit with little flavor may be sprinkled with a grating of nutmeg or a sprinkling of lemon juice. Many who will not take time or trouble to prepare an apple in the morning will enjoy a few pieces all ready prepared. Wash and core apples without peeling them, put into an earthen baking dish with a little water, sugar and bits of butter, bake slowly until tender. Leaving the skin on the apple makes a baked apple of much better flavor. As a dessert, apples may be served in any number of ways. Apples a la Ninon—Sprinkle baked apples with freshly-grated cocoanut on taking from the oven. Serve on a mound of boiled rice with the milk of the cocoanut for a sauce. Apples Baked With Dates.—Wash and core apples for baking, fill the centers with stoned dates, sprinkle with powdered sugar and bake, basting with butter and water with a little lemon juice. Another way of serving baked apples is to prepare them as above, and, instead of the dates, use a banana drawn into the center of the apple; trim off the ends and baste with butter, water and lemon juice. NOW on thyself thy genius must depend; All books of cookery, all helps of art, All critic learning, all commenting notes Are vain, if void of genius thou would's cook. —Dionysius. Nellie Marwell It is the man who can talk who becomes a mayor, or president of some learned society, or the chairman of a board of directors or of some commission or conference. There may be other men more expert or more profound, or better endowed with the faculties of organization or administration. These must serve as those who only stand and wait. Their influence, however potent and far-reaching, must be wielded more or less in secret. Not for them the plaudits of the crowd or the fame that is in the world's mouth. Their work, however, must wait for the judgment of posterity to be appreciated at its true value. The exercise of their supreme virtues must be—apart from any worldly emoluments or honors that their incidental achievements may bring to them in passing—more or less its own reward.—Edwin Pugh, in London T, P's Weekly. — erpeyv besesener} Established in 1898.

The sky line of New York is always changing. So, too, the night lights shift and grow in wonderful magnificence, creeping continually further upward toward the stars, until the lower city, grouped around the Singer tower, has become a veritable Chimborazo of glitter and glow. The little lamps that mark the dark wharves barely show. Above them the scant candles of the older city twinkle here and there, but not enough to make dark foreground beyond which palaces more goregous than coaxed from genil land by siddin's lamp. From the plaffs s of the great bridge the piece to the best ad- vantage. It begins with the sinking sun. The murky view beyond the bay betocomes dull and dark. The torch in Liberty's hand suddenly gleams starlike in the night and then, like the twinkling in a kalelidoscope, the palaces begin to glitter in the gloom. There is no vision like it elsewhere in the world, yet only now and then does a bridge pedestrian pause in his hurried walk to spectacle a moment usual New Yorker splendor of his t Now that a grocer in Belfast who has been doing business for more than 60 years has decided to close out his stock and retire, it will be interesting to know whether he still has in his store any goods that he bought when he first went into business. The Argentine ant, newly arrived at Oakland, Cal., and well settled in Louisiana, near New Orleans, is said to be the least in size but the most pugnacious and destructive of the family. It is small business for a future great country like Argentina to send out such emigrants. It is no organ of monopolists but an agricultural paper which declares that the high price of meat is due, not to any trust, but to the demands of young married women, who, dreading the hackneyed jokes about the culinary attempts of novices, have taken to serving their husbands with steaks, "which anybody can cook." from the Grosi (Cal.) Offer we learn the interesting fact that "Ed Morell, who broke into the county jail in 1894, has gone to Millwood to recuperate, having been pardoned after serving 14 years in prison. Morell received a patent on a 11³ saving suit, invented while in prison, on which he hopes to make a sum of money." Mr. Morell appears to be a peculiar and original sort of person.

Per Year $1.00 everywhere NG Some Suspicious Persons Enquired if we were "hiring" a certain "weekly" paper to abuse us. Of course every time a spot light is turned on from any source it offers a splendid chance to talk about the merits of the products, but 'pon honor now, we are not hiring that "Weekly." The general reader seldom cares much for the details of "scraps." A few may have read lately some articles attacking us and may be interested in the following: Some time ago a disagreement arose with a "Weekly." They endorsed our foods by letter, but wanted to change the form of advertising, to which we objected. The "Weekly" discontinued inserting our advertisements while they were negotiating for some changes they wanted in the wording and shape of the advertisements, and during this correspondence our manager gave instructions to our Advertising Department to quit advertising altogether in that "Weekly." Quite a time after the advertising had been left out, an editorial attack came. We replied in newspapers and the scrap was on. Then came libel suits from both sides, and some harsh words, That "Weekly" has attacked many prominent men and reputable manufacturers. Our Company seems prominent enough for a sensational writer to go after, hunt for some little spot to criticise, then distort, twist and present it to the public under scare heads. It may be remembered that we were first attacked and have since defended ourselves by placing facts before that great jury---The Public. A good "scrap" is more or less comforting now and then, if you know you are right. In the case lately tried, an appeal has been taken to the higher courts. We have unbounded faith in the ultimate decision of our American Tribunals. Our suits against the "weekly" have not yet been tried. They are for libel Generally tiresome to the public. That "Weekly" has attacked man table manufacturers. Our Company seems prominent writer to go after, hunt for some little twist and present it to the public under Distortion No. 1 stated that we have been accustomed to advertise Grape-Nuts and Postum as "cure-alls for everything." It has never been the policy of this Company to advertise Grape-Nuts or Postum to cure anything. We say that in cases where coffee disagrees and is causing sickness its dismissal will remove the cause of the trouble, and we suggest the use of Postum for the reason that it furnishes a hot palatable morning beverage, and contains natural elements from the grain which can be used by nature to assist in rebuilding nerve centers that coffee may have broken down. Likewise Grape-Nuts food does not cure anything, but it does assist nature tremendously in rebuilding, provided the undigestible food that has been used is discontinued and Grape-Nuts taken in its place. Charge No. 2 states that the passage of the National Food & Drugs Act compelled us to drop from the packages some assertions regarding the nutritive value of Grape-Nuts. We have never been "compelled" to make any change. Since the beginning it has been a universal rule to print clearly on every package exactly what the contents are made of. Before the passage of the Pure Food Law the packages stated that Grape-Nuts food was made of wheat and barley. We did not esteem the small amount of salt and yeast as of value enough to speak of, but after the new Law came in we became as technical as the officials at Washington and added the words "yeast" and "salt," although we have no recollection of being asked to. We believed that our statement that Grape-Nuts will supply elements to nourish the brain and nerve centers is true and bring authorities to support the fact. Some state chemists believed this a gross exaggeration and insane much as the Food Dept. at Washington could easily proceed, pending a trial on the disputed question, we concluded that much the better way would be to eliminate from our packages such claims, however certain we may be that the claims are true. Another statement objected to read as follows: "The system will absorb a greater amount of nourishment from one pound of Grape-Nuts than from ten pounds of meat, wheat, oats, or bread." Some Department chemists deceive themselves as well as the public. "Caloried" is the word which defines a unit of heat determined by the amount of sugar it raises one kilogram of water one degree centigrade. On this basis a table of calories is prepared showing the percentage of different kinds of food. Butter shows 8.60; Grape-Nuts 3.96; milk 0.70. Remember the statement on the package spoke of the nourishment the system would absorb, but did not speak of the calories of heat contained in it, for the heat is not nourishment, and the nourishment cannot be judged by the number of heat units, notwithstanding the fact that certain chemists would have the public believe so. As an illustration: Attempt to feed a man sixty days on butter alone, with its 8.60 calories. The man would die before the experiment had run sixty days. Then, take Grape-Nuts with 3.96 and milk with 0.70,-the two combined equal 4.66-about one-half the number of calories contained in butter. The man fed for sixty days on this food would be well nourished, and could live not only sixty It may be remembered ourselves by placing facts before A good "scrap" is my you are right. In the case lately tried days, but six months on that food alone, and we do not hesitate to say from our long knowledge of the sustaining power of the food that a man at the end of sixty days would be of practically the same weight as when he started,—if he be a man of normal weight. We will suppose that from his work he lost a pound a day and made up a pound each day from food. If that premise proved to be true the man in sixty three would make sixty pounds of tissue to replace what had been lost, and this would be done on Grape-Nuts and milk with half the number of calories of butter, upon which one can sustain life. Therefore, we have reason to believe that our contention is right that concentrated food like Grape-Nuts, which is partly digested and ready for easy assimilation by the body, presents more nourishment that the system will absorb than many other forms of food, and we will further say that in cases of digestive troubles where meat, white bread and oats cannot be digested, that Grape-Nuts and milk contain more nourishment that the system will absorb than many pounds of these other foods. Distortion No. 3 charges that our testimonials were practically all paid for and re-written in Battle Creek. These testimonials were demanded by the appropriate lawyer. Naturally this demand was refused, for they are held in vaults and kept safe to prove the truth, and are not to be delivered up on demand of enemies. Testimony at the trial brought out the fact that we never printed a single testimonial that we did not have the genuine letter back of. Many of these letters came spontaneously. A record was kept of twelve hundred and four (1204) letters received in one month from people who wrote that they had either entirely recovered their health or been benefited by following our suggestions on food and beverages. On three or four occasions in the past ten or twelve years we printed broadcast in newspapers and Grape-Nuts—two hundred $1.00 prizes, one hundred $2.00, twenty of $5.00 and five of $10.00 each—stating that each must be an honest letter with name and address. We agreed not to publish names, but to furnish them to enquirers by letter. These letter writers very generally answered those who wrote to them, and verified the truth of the statements. Under this agreement not to publish names literally scores of letters came from doctors. We kept our word and neither printed their names or surrendered the letters. Right here notice an "imitation spasm." The "Weekly" says: "Post got those testimonials by advertising for them. In New York he used for that purpose the New York Magazine of _____ whose editor is now in the Federal Penitentiary for fraudulent use of the mails. For examinest he announced in that magazine in 1907, etc." (then follows our prize competition). We used nearly all of the papers and magazines in New York and the rest of America, but the sensational writer gives the impression to his readers that the only magazine we used was one whose editor is now in the Federal Penitentiary for fraudulent use of that we know nothing of the truth of now, and never did. Space was bought in the magazine spoken of on a business basis for the reason that it went to a good class of readers. The incident seems to have furnished an opportunity for a designing writer to deceive his readers. We look upon honest human testimony So an attorney from New York spent more or less time for months in Battle Creek hoping to find impurities in our foods, or dirt in the factories. After tireless spying about he summoned twenty-five of our workmen and took their testimony. Every single one testified that the foods are made of exactly the grain and ingredients printed on the packages; the wheat, barley and corn being the choicest obtainable—all thoroughly cleaned—the water of the purest, and every part of the factories and machinery kept scrupulously clean. That all proved disappointing to the "Weekly." There are very few factories, hospitals, private—or hotel and restaurant kitchens that could stand the close spying at unexpected times and by an enemy paid to find dirt or impurities of some kind. In any ordinary kitchen or factory he would find something to magnify and make a noise about. But he failed utterly with the Postum Works and products. Twenty to thirty thousand people go through the factories annually and we never enquire whether they are there to spy or not. It makes no difference to us. He next turned to discover something about our advertising that could be criticized. An analysis of the methods and distorted statements of the "Weekly" may interest some readers, so we take up the items one by one and open them out for inspection. We will "chain up" the harsh words and make no reference in this article to the birth, growth and methods of the "Weekly" but try to coufine the discussion to the questions now at issue. from men and women as to the means by which they recovered health as of tremendous value to those in search of it. Our business has been conducted from the very first day upon lines of strict integrity and we never yet have published a false testimonial of human experience. Many of these letters covered sheets some, if printed, would spread over half a page of newspaper. If we would attempt to print one such letter in every one of the thousands of papers and magazines we use, the cost for printing that one letter would run into many thousands of dollars. We boil down these letters exactly as a newspaper writer boils his news,—sticking sacredly to the important facts and eliminating details about the family and other unimportant matters. This work of boiling down, or eliciting, does honestly, and with full knowledge of the art of the "twister" in the way he presents to his readers this matter of testimonials. Distortion No. 4. This is a bad one. It reads as follows: "The only famous physician whose name was signed to a testimonial was produced in Court by Colliers and turned out to be a poor old brokendown homeopath, who is now working in a printing establishment. He received ten dollars ($10.00) for writing his testimonial." We will wager ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) with any investigator that we have, subject to inspection of any fair (300) of those huns (300) communications from physicians, many of them expressing the highest mention of our products, but these will not now or ever be turned over to the publisher for his use. Notice the statement in this charge: "The only famous physician whose name was signed to Postum testimonial, etc." The truth is, this Dr. Underwood was one of a great many physicians who have not only written commendatory words about the value of our foods, but every now and then some physician writes an article on coffee or on food, and sends it to us with a suggestion of compensation to his time and medical knowledge. Presents to the time when we employed physicians in our own business, we occasionally employed a doctor to write an article on coffee, always insisting that the article be an honest expression of his opinion and research. The "Weekly" hunted on this physician, and because he seemed to be poor, and as it says "brokendown," had him the Country Counsel, and juried as the "only physician that had ever endorsed Grape-Nuts," but much to the chagrin of the "Weekly," when our attorneys asked him if the article he wrote about coffee was true he replied, "yes." Statement No. 5 reads: "The health officers of Mich., Maine, Penn., New Hamp., and other states in their official bulletins have for years been denouncing as preposterous and fraudulent the claims made by the Postum Cereal Company." We do not recall any criticism except from Mich., Penn., Maine and S. Dakota. The average reader might think that the opinions expressed by the State Officials are always correct, but that conclusion is not borne out by facts. As an illustration: About thirteen years ago the Dairy and Food Commission of Michigan for some personal reason printed a severe criticism on us for making Postum of Barley (according to his official chemist at market price and selling too high. He was shown there was never a grain of barley used in Postum. His report was false and misleading. The governor dismissed him. We believe that most of the state and $500,000.00 is asked as damages, and may the right man win. After all the smoke of legal battle blows away, the facts will stand out clearly and never be forgotten that Postum, Grape Nuts, and Post Toasties are perfectly pure, have done good honest service to humanity for years, the testimonials are real and truthful and the business conducted on the highest plane of commercial integrity. "There's a Reason" Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. officials are honest, and on the other hand we are firmly convinced that some of their conclusions cannot be substantiated by facts in scientific research. They never criticize the purity of our foods, for so much we are thankful. If our conclusions in regard to its being a brain food differ from theirs, and we are both honest, they have rather the advantage, because under the law they can order us to eliminate from the package any statement if it disagrees with their opinion. Otherwise they would harass grocers. Spasm No. 6 says: "The most dangerous thing in the world for one threatened with appendicitis is to eat any food whatever. Notwithstanding he knew that danger, C. W. Post advertised Grape-Nuts at fifteen cents a package for those so threatened." This is intended to muddle the reader into believing that we put out Grape-Nuts as a cure for appendicitis. Mr. Post, himself, has had probably as wide experience as any other man in America in the study and observation of food as related to the digestive organs, and we proved in Court by the physicians and surgeons on the witness stand that the predominating cause of appendicitis is undigested food, and that it is necessary to quit eating food, and when the body requires food again, use a pre-digested food, or at least one easy of digestion. Dr. Ochsner in his work on appendicitis refers directly to the use of the well-known pre-digested foods that can be obtained on the market. He also brought out the interesting fact that in "after treatment" it is advantageous to take on a pre-digested food. The price of the package (referred to by the weekly) is not known by us to have any relation to the question. Our advice to stop using indigestible food in bowel troubles and to use Grape-Nuts food has been a great blessing to tens of thousands of people, and we hope will continue to bless a good many more in the succeeding years. No. 7 is a live wire. It refers to C. W. Post and his studies and experience in "Suggestive Therapeutics," or "Mental Healing" which further lead to a most careful and systematic study of the effect of the mind on the digestive and other organs of the body. He attended clinics in Europe and fitted himself for a future career in which he has become known as one of the food experts of the world, fitted to judge both from the material as well as the mental side of the question. For about eight years previous to 1891 he was an invalid. In that year, after being under the care of several well-known physicians, he was quickly healed, and in 1892 he came to the care of another well-understood method. Sufficient to say he became a well man, weighing about 183 pounds. This experience challenged his investigation into causes of disease and their amelioration. Those studies and experiences developed a very profound reverence for a Supreme Power which directly operates upon the human being, and this reverence for the Infinite became to him a form of religion which included honesty of purpose towards his fellow-man. A statement which will be indorsed by everyone who knows him closely. He will make a public announcement in detail of these facts, and the Postum Company will cause that statement to be published in newspapers and magazines Some Facts We the undersigned certify testimonial letter been printed which did not have behind it a to be an honest statement.

"Post spends nearly a million a year in advertising and relies on that to keep out of the newspapers the dangerous nature of the fraud he is perpetrating on the public." The Postum Company does pay out upwards of a million a year for trade announcements. Newspaper men believe our statements truthful or they would not print them. Large numbers of newspaper men use our products. They are capable of telling the public whether or not we "bribe" them. It may have escaped notice that we did not "bribe" that particular weekly. No. 9 states that the amount of the verdict will "be devoted by the 'weekly' to exposing fraud." This is almost real humor. We have two suits pending against the "weekly" total, $500,000.00. We haven't "devoted" the sum to any particular purpose yet. Item 10 is a "discovery" that wheat bran is a part of Postum. But the criticism neglected to mention that for years every Postum package announced in plain type that the outer covering of wheat (bran), made part of the beverage. They ignorantly fell into a trap here, not knowing enough of food value to know that "Taka-Diastease" the article used by physicians the world over for "starch indigestion" is made from "wheat bran." So we use that part of the wheat berry because it contains the element needed to develop the valuable diastase in manufacture. Good Postum is impossible without this part. These self-appointed critics do make some laughable blunders through ignorance, but—be patient. Item 11 is an illustration of the squirming and twisting of the sensational writer delivering distorted matter to his readers. While on the witness stand Mr. Post testified to his studies in Anatomy, Physiology, Dietetics and Psychology—all relating to the preparation and digestion of food. Asked to name authorities studied he mentioned six or eight from memory, commented on some clinical experience covering several years in annual journeys to Europe. Now notice the distortion. (Copy from the printed criticism.) "He (Post) pointed out a pile of books in possession of his attorneys as the very ones he had read." (Notice,—"the very ones he had read," leading the reader to believe that they were the only ones.) "Did you consult the books from these editions?" was asked. "From those and various editions," answered Post. The attorney "picked up book after book from the pile and showed the title pages to the jury,—all except two had been published since 1905." This is an example of distortion and false coloring to produce an unfavorable impression. The facts are Mr. Post purposely introduced the latest editions that could be obtained of prominent authorities to prove by them the truth of his statements regarding appendicitis and the analysis of brain, also the latest conclusions in regard to the action of the digestive organs. These works are: Human Physiology, by Raymond. Physiological Chemistry, by Simon. Digestive Glands, by Pawlow. Hand Book of Appendicitis, by Ochsner. and as damages, and may the re voke of legal battle blows avail gotten that Postum, Grape N the good honest service to hu truthful and the business con Here's a Reason Postum Cereal Co., Ltd ay the right man win. blows away, the facts will stand out Grape Nuts, and Post Toasties are due to humanity for years, the testiess conducted on the highest plane ason" ., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. This is almost real humor. Physiological Chemistry, by Hamman sten. Biochemic System of Medicine, by Carey. The "Weekly" carefully eliminates from its printed account testimony regarding the years of research and study by Mr. Post in fitting himself for his work, and would lead the reader of the distorted article to believe that his education began since 1905. Distortion No. 12 reports Mr. Post as a "dodging witness." His eye is not of the shifty kind observed in the head of one of his chief critics. On the witness stand Mr. Post looks quietly but very steadily straight in to the begging, twisting law, or trying by all his art to ask double-barreled questions and bull-doze and confuse a witness. The "dodging" it seems consisted of replying, "I don't know." Opposing counsel holds a book in his hand while he queries, I want to know if there is a single thing in your whole book here that suggests any particular kind of food." Then followed some discussion between attorneys. When Mr. Post was allowed to reply, he said, "I don't know until I read the book over to see." This book, it turns out, was written by Mr. Post seventeen years ago and probably has not been read carefully by him in the last fifteen years. It would require a remarkable memory to instantly say "yes" or "no" as to what a book of 147 pages did or did not contain, without reading it over,—but such conservative and well balanced answers are construed by sensation seekers to be "dodging." The attorney sought by every art to impress the Jury with the fact that Mr. Post's belief in the power of Mind in relation to the body branded him as unreliable and worse. The following is quoted from one of the questions:— (The lawyer reading from the book.) "The writer of these pages desires to say nothing of himself other than as a simple instrument through which the Divine Principle chooses to manifest itself by precept and example. "Skill in mental practice is gained in the same way as skill in any department of science—by observation, study, experience and the ability to evolve correct conclusions. "Read carefully, thoughtfully no more than twenty pages daily. Afterward seek an easy position where you will not be disturbed. Relax every muscle. Close your eyes, and go into the silence where mind is plastic to the breathings of spirit and where God talks to the Son. The thoughts from Divine Universal Mind come as winged angels and endow you with a healing power. If you go into the silence humble and trusting you will come out enriched and greatly strengthened in a moment great for a short time with the Father of all life and all power. You will feel refreshed in every way and food taken will digest readily as the stomach works smoothly when under the influence of a Higher Power." "I ask you if you did not write that, and if you did not believe it when you wrote it." For a moment the Court Room was in absolute silence. Mr. Post slowly leaned forward over the rail, pointed his finger at the Atty's face to emphasize his reply and with eyes that caused those of the Attorney to drop he said, "Yes, I am proud to say I did." MOTHERS OF THEN AND NOW Conditions Are Only Different, My Matter What Sentimental Writer May Assert. The "popular" writer who bewafa what he assumes to be the fact that the "old-fashioned" mother is no more is liable to defeat his own purpose if that be inculcating in children the highest possible regard for their parents. It is a danger which even the quantitative theory of literature or space rates cannot justify. The mother of the past, of course, was different from the mother of the present, as different on the whole as the conditions of life then and now, but since her daughter is the mother of the present there must be some points of similarity. All the good in our mothers and grandmothers certainly could not have vanished. It will be paying scant tribute to those door, good women who have laid down their precepts and examples and passed on to say so. And, of course, this writer does not mean to do that, yet he comes very near doing what he does not intend. The fallacy of the whole sentimental notion that because things and people are not like they used to be they are not as good lies in the patient fact that they cannot be alike, and if they were it would simply be because of the present generation being so much inferior to the past that it was unable to do no more than stand still Mr. Fitz—Doctor, I'm subject to violent fits of late and I wonder at times that I survive them. Doctor—You sort of wonder at the survival of the fittest, eh? A Son's Compliment.

A dish pan that serves the double purpose of a receptacle in which to wash dishes and one in which to keep them has been designed by a California woman. In the bottom of the pan, in the center, is a ring-like abutment. Along one side are top and bottom curved bends in which knives, forks and spoons can be stood upright and kept separate from the other contents of the pan. With the ring in the center, dishes are stood up around the sides, which makes them easier to wash and does away with the necessity of the washer having her hands always immersed in the hot, soapy water. Furthermore, the invention takes the place of a cupboard in families where only a few dishes are Dishpan in Operation. used, as these can be kept in the pan when not otherwise in use. Another advantage of having the dishes stand upright in the wash pan is that they drain better. In fact, one can be used for a drain pan alone. RICE IN CHINESE FASHION One Method of Yellow Race That May Well Be Copied by the American Cook. The Chinese method of cooking rice differs from that of the ordinary housewife, and the rice when done, instead of being a mushy, sticky paste, is spotlessly white, perfectly dry, with each grain standing by itself. To attain these results pick the rice over carefully to remove all refuse; then wash it through several waters, rubbing it between the hands to remove the coating of starchy powder. When the water is perfectly clear you will know that the rice is in fit condition to be cooked. Have some water boiling in a saucepan, the proper proportions being about two quarts of unsalted water to each half pint of rice. Sprinkle the rice in so slowly that the water will scarcely stop boiling and cook it at a gallop in order that the grains may be kept in motion while boiling. Do not stir or touch the rice in any way after the grains have commenced to soften. When they are done drain off all the water and set the pan in the oven, that the rice may swell. Do not let it cook or brown, and serve it as soon as it has become thoroughly dry, which will probably be in less than ten minutes. Let each person salt the rice to suit his own taste after it has been brought to the table. If you have only a little bit of chicken left over—not enough to cream or serve alone—melt one tablespoonful of butter in a deep baking dish, scatter over it one-quarter cup of cracker crumbs, add a layer of the chicken, chopped, then a layer of oysters, and salt, pepper and butter. Put in more cracker crumbs, more chicken and oysters, and proceed in this way until the dish is full, adding seasoning with each layer. Pour over the whole the oyster liquor to which a well-baten egg and a cup of milk have been added. Put in the oven until hot and lightly browned and serve. Mock Angel Food. One cupful of sugar. $1\frac{1}{2}$ tablespoonfuls of shortening, one-half cupful of milk, one heaping cupful of flour, two tablespoonfuls of baking powder. Stir all together, then put the whites of two eggs into a bowl and beat until stiff. Then gently fold the whites into the batter; do not stir them in. Add a teaspoonful of vanilla. This is an original recipe, and if correctly made it will be hard to distinguish it from the real angel food cake. But be careful not to stir the whites of the eggs into the cake, but fold them in carefully. Honeycomb Cream. Boll up one quart of milk then stir in one ounce of castor sugar, the yolks of three eggs beaten till light, and dissolve in this half ounce of best gelatine; beat it all up well together, just at the last stir in the stiffly whipped whites of the eggs as lightly as possible, pour it into a mold rinsed out in cold water and leave it till set, when you turn out, and serve with stewed fruits and jam. Quickly Made Puff Paste. Chop up six ounces of butter and mix with eight ounces of flour; sprinkle in quarter saltspoonful salt and the juice of a quarter of a lemon; mix into a stiff paste with cold water; flour the board and rolling-pin, and roll out the paste four times. Puff pastry should be made and left in a cold place for an hour or two before using, and should be baked in a very hot oven.

You can believe me or not, but what I am going to tell you is the gospel truth. In the early part of last spring I lost about a score of very valuable sheep, until one day as I was looking across from my house to the edge of the range opposite, about two miles away, I noticed some sheep. I got my telescope, and assured myself that they were mine. I placed the telescope in a suitable position, and made Bob, our best collie, look through it. After about a minute the dog wagged his tail and made off. In less than two hours he brought the sheep home safe and sound." C. M. E. CHURCH. Holds Their Services at Masonic Hal Every Sunday. Rev. R.

Sydney, Australia, has had a newvely in the shape of a "mystery ship." An American steamer, the Coronet, arrived by night in the harbor unsigned and unannounced. It was peopleled by a strange-looking crowd of men, women and children. The officers were dressed in clerical attire—long coats and white ties. Nobody was allowed on board save the government medical officer and the harbor master. The Sydney reporters ascertained that the ship is connected with the newest American sect, the "Holy Ghost and Us," whose head, a man named Stanford, claiming to be the reincarnated Elijah, is on board. The Coronet has been cruising for some months among the Pacific islands. LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE Finns Devote Summer Months to Enjoyment and Pursuit of Health. In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer time. They camp out on islands, in the forests and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year, and the town councils of the towns in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go in search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finns. They combine it with a surprising amount of gayety. They eat, drink and are merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and splashing they dance, they sing, they watch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good hatured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. We might take many leaves from the Flans' book.—Ladies' Pictorial. Proud Owners of Pets, Listen to This from Flatbush, N. Y. Zip, a son of Bluff, the big bull terrier, is the most respected dog in Flatbush, N. Y., says a correspondent. He requires every other dog within 40 blocks to walk a chalk line and bow to him as he passes by. He can lick everything on four feet up to twice his size, yet is as mild as Devery-at-the Pump. His master attributes Zip's prowess to his fondness for the pipe. Like Old King Cole: He calls for his nurses three. "That is the most remarkable dog in the world," says his master. "He takes my pipe out of my mouth and smokes it, standing on his hind feet. See! The stem is all chewed up! If the tobacco doesn't burn well, Zip will get down on his fours and chase all over the house to create a draught. When the fire is well started again he finishes his smoke and returns me the pipe. Strong? He ought to be named Samson. Why, we have a plano that weighs 600 pounds. Tie Zip to it with a rope and he will pull it all over the room." The Qualint Belluga. Caviare can be made of the roe of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the belluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,000 pounds and innabits the waters of the swift-flowing Volga. It is so abundant that the natives of Astracan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and very甘ynty—and preserve only the spawiz, of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds out of one fish. This belluga lies on the bottom of the river at certain seasons and swallows many large pebbles of great weight to ballast itself against the force of the stream; that is, the pebbles act as an anchor. When the flood subsides and the waters are less violent the belluga disgorges itself; that is, it unballasts, hauls in its anchor and swims about for provender. Pecullar African Rac. There is a peculiar sort of people living in northwest Rhodesia. These natives are small of stature, with large horns on their heads. The hera springs from the scalp, consists of the native's hair mixed with fat and flth, and is sometimes much as 18 inches long. For the these Kaffirs live on the gre to be found on both sides of the river. They build their huts on great ant heaps which appear like hun scattered over the flats. When the Kufe is in flood and the flats are changed into great lakes these people are safe in their huts on the ant heaps. Their cattle also take refuge on the ant heaps on which corn and mecales are likewise grown Send for the S. P. C. C. A "Young Mother" asks our opinion of the alleged injurious effects of rocking on babies. We must frankly say that we consider it a brutal practice. As the father of a great many babies, of all ages, we never rocked on any of them intentionally, and we would probably be arrested if we expressed our full opinion of any woman who would presume to do so.—Lippincott's Magazine. A Monster Loaf. Bakers in Germany are fond of making odd experiments, the following being reported from Duisburg, 'in West phalia. At a children's party recently held in that town there was exhibited, and afterwards there and distributed among the young, is present, a bread twist which for size at least has surely rarely been equaled. Weighing no less than 180 pounds, it had a breadth of six feet and a length of ten feet, and was thus found sufficient to supply a satisfactory afternoon collation to many as 500 bears and gris. BOY ROSE TO THE SITUATION Quick Wit and Intelligence Displayed by Youngster. His parents are convinced that Clarence will be a great man; the only doubt is whether it will be as a statesman or scientist. He is only four years old, and their confidence is based largely on one incident. The boy never told of it, and it would have been lost to history if a neighbor had not been a chance. Clarence lives in suburbs, and has a cat and kittens. One day he went into the yard next door with one of the little ones to play. There was a big pile of brushwood here, and he shoved his pet into a hole in this. She crawled so far back that all his efforts to get her out were vain. Had he been a man he would have pulled the pile of brush apart, but lacking strength for this he resorted to cunning. Running home, he soon returned with the mother cat. He shoved her into the hole after her offspring, and she soon came out with the little one between her teeth. Clarence bore them both home in triumph. HOW TO MEET A LION BRITISH SURGEON EXPLAINS ETI QUETTE FOR OCCASION. The etiquette to be observed when a peacefully inclined tourist or explorer meets a lion in the jungle is described by Sir Frederick Treves, the distinguished British surgeon, in his book, "Uganda for a Holiday," just published in England. "The tourist coming to British East Africa," he says, "is sure to inquire as to the line of conduct that should be observed when a lion is encountered by the way. In answer to such inquiry I was told that the etiquette suitable for the occasion was the following: If the lion when met with is walking in the opposite direction to the tourist the animal should be allowed to continue his walk without comment. If, however, the lion stops and stares at the tourist it is proper that the tourist should 'Shish' the animal away, as he would an obtrusive goose on a village green. Should the lion be unmoved by this expression of annoyance the tourist is advised to throw lumps of earth at the obtuse creature. If, after this, the lion still falls to realize that he is de trop, the tourist is recommended to walk away from the spot with such dignity as the strained position demands." Sir Frederick Treves has several other things to say about the animals of the wild. "The rhinoceros is the embodiment of blind conservatism," he writes. "Its hide is impenetrable, its vision is weak, while its intellect is weaker. It has, however, two marked qualities—combativeness and a sense of smell. It is aroused to its maximum energy by the presence of anything that is new. This object need not be a thing that is aggressive or inconvenient. Its offensiveness depends upon the fact that it is unfamiliar, and the more unfamiliar the object is the worse the rhinoceros acts. "When a rhinoceros smells a man he will charge him with maniacal violence, although the man-may be merely sitting on a stool reading Milton. The massive beast will dash at him like a torpedo or a runaway locomotive simply because the smell of him is novel. Actuated by this insane hate of whatever savors of an innovation, the rhinoceros has charged an iron water tank on the outskirts of a camp and has crumpled it up as a blacksmith would an empty meat tin. "A conservative rhinoceros with a senile dislike of anything new once charged a train on the Uganda railway, but with no more serious results than the tearing away of the footboard of a carriage. As regards the rhinoceros in this case, it appeared surprised that a thing composed, as it had imagined, of flesh and blood, could be so hard. It went off with an additional grievance and an increased swelling of the head." Tournament on Sea Horses. Rumor has often told us of sea horses, but with amused incredulity we have always waved the tales aside. Faith is, however, no longer called upon, for in the water of Huntington bay, on the north shore of Long Island, actual sea horses are daily capering in highly spectacular water sports, even in a quaint revival of the ancient tournament. The strange beasts have been brought to us from France and are ingeniously composed of a barrel, weighted on one side which is under water, and decorated with an expressive head and an aggressive tail. As soon as one mounts upon the rotund back of one of these beasts it shows its temper, for, although tame and mild enough when grazing among the waves by themselves, they are fiends incarnate as soon as one attempts to throw a leg over them. They kick and buck in a manner which would appall a Buffalo Bill himself. One of the daily features of the beach at Huntington is a tournament in which armed knights, each astride of a prancing sea horse, face each other for battle royal. The riders are equipped with long lances, well wadded at the end with "stuffing." With there the knights paddle their course to each other, and then with lances poised the battle begins. Qualification, for Office. The little trial I have had of public employment has been so much disgust to me; I feel at times temptations toward ambition rising in my soul; but I obstinately oppose them. "But thou, Catullus, be thou firm to the last." I am seldom called to it, and as seldom offer myself uncalled; liberty and laziness, the qualities most predominant in me, are qualities diametrically contrary to that trade. We cannot well distinguish the faculties of men; to conclude from the discreet conduct of a private life, a capacity for the management of public affairs, is to conclude ill; a man may govern himself well, who cannot govern others so; and compose essays, who could not work effects; men there may be who can order a siege well, or would ill marshal a battle; who can speak well in private, who would ill harangue a people or a prince; nay, 'tis peradventure rather a testimony in him, who can do the one, that he cannot do the other, than otherwise.—From Montaligne. Not so Many Years Ago He Was Crazy Over Dress Himself. No, brother, men have not always been so indifferent to dress as they are today. Their ralment, as compared with the darnfoilishness of woman, hasn't always been above reproach. Consider, if you will, the days when our respected forefathers would draw on their lavender-colored pants with a shoe horn, using a little slippery powder, maybe, to help things along, until people looked at their feet and wondered if the pants hadn't been sewed up after the feet got through Consider their tight boots—made so tight that they caused the most excruciating agony. And remember that the dandies of that day would carefully polish these burning, blazing, pinching, agonizing boots and then step carefully with the toes in a mud puddle so that the mud drying on the lower part would make the feet seem small. O, yes, they did it. And of course you know that a bootjack wasn't used merely because the boots might soil the hands, but because nobody had invented a stump-puller in those days and applied it to the removal of tight boots. And remember the bell-crowned hats, and the dingbats and jimcracks they hung on their watch fobs. And the fancy waistcoats and the frilled shirts. And going even further back, consider what historical drawings give us of information as to ancient dress—the knee breeches with gorgeous rosettes—the brilliant buckles on the shoes—the cream-colored cloaks with mauve satin linings. And the white silk stockings that the excelsior would show through. Think of the bepowdered and becurled wigs when you rave at rats on women's heads and repent of your scoffing words. Face powder? Perfumes and scents? Sure they had 'em. Patches on their complexion—yes, and rouge. They sure were pretty men those days. And going back to the Indian—think of his war paint, of his gaudy blanket, his stained arrows, his painted pony, his bear-oiled hair and his colored feathers. But what's the use? He's not so pretty now. Only he really hadn't ougher scoff so much at hobble skirts and peach-basket hats and Chinese hair switches and things. He really hadn't ougher. As a Buncher. We is one of the most bothersome words in the language. It is responsible for more misunderstandings than any other ten words put together. An editor will start out conscientiously to give his opinions. He will begin by saying "We think," meaning himself. A latter later he will say "we," meaning his advertisers. A few lines farther down he will use the word again, meaning the class of people who read his paper. Then his heart will soften and expand. He will become eloquent with the use of "we," meaning the whole community or the entire human race. Then suddenly he will bethink himself and reflect that his is a party organ and "we," the party, is paramount after all. Whereupon he will divest himself of opinions in which the people at large have no interest, or at least no profit. All this is very confusing. The unsuspecting reader struggles along trying in vain to separate the we-goats from the we-sheep. Sometimes that's exactly what the editor is striving for, and sometimes he is the most confused of all. We was invented to conceal thought. —Life. Kaiser's Insult to a Courtier An incident very reminiscent of such pettiness was told to Tip the other day by an American just returned from Berlin. It seems one of the Kaiser's suite, a noble of high rank, had incurred the imperial displeasure. The Kaiser did not wish to lose this gentleman's services, but apparently desired to humiliate him for the real or fancied offense. At one of the state dinners shortly afterward, the noble was seated half a dozen places from his ruler. Beside him sat a woman of title, whom he had known from the time both could walk. The two conversed animatedly. Suddenly his imperial majesty leaned forward and exclaimed in a harsh voice: "Prince, it is not etiquette to flirt at my table." The man thus addressed rose to his feet and bowed low. The next day he resigned and retired to his country estate, although it is well known he received a personal letter of apology from Wilhelm II. Not to Be Fooled. Proudly young Tomkins displayed the sights of London to his uncle, fresh from the verdant country. They visited St. Paul and the Embankment and the National Gallery and all the places they could get in free, and, as an especial treat, they visited a music hall, where a trombone solo was in progress when they entered. With rapt attention the old man watched the instrumentalist's facial contortions. At the close the audience applauded thunderously, but the old man sat mute. "Well," said young Tomkins, "didn't you like it?"
