SCHOOL LUNCHEONS.
Hints From a Lady Who Knows How to
Make These Attractions


NOWADAYS, since superintendent and
teachers hive begun to realize that to
secure the best mental work the best
physical conditions are necessary, a
great deal more attention is paid to
warming and ventilating and lighting
school-houses, and all that sort Of
thing. than formerly, and this is good.
of course, but the doctor says that
nine out of every ten cases of illness
among school children, aside from the
contagious ailments common to youth.
are due to school luncheons. 1t isn't
so much the cold dinner, either, but
the kind of food that is taken. / have
often thought what nice plan it would
be if some good "honey" woman would
undertake to supply hot dinner for chill
dren who attend school near her own
home; am sure it would be paying
plan, too. for no parent would hesitate
to pay reasonable price for the privi-
lege of seating his child or children at
a good, wholesome, hot dinner instead
of cold lunch on a school desk. Why,
/ declare, would try it myself in our
little town, if l lived sufficiently near
the school-house. But since this isr't
to be, we mothers must do the best we
can. always aim to give my children
a change every day, and most rigidly
eschew pie and cake except on rare
occasions, A sandwich is nearly
always acceptable, but the form of it
should be varied as much as possible;
in any case, however, the slices of
bread should be cut smooth and thin,
and the meat in the same way. l like
best to use chopped meats, moistened
with a little stock, melted, buttered or
scalded cream, for sandwiches, as they
are not so dry. Egg sandwiches, too,
are favorites with my little people-tO
one hard-boiled egg. chopped fine and
properly seasoned, add one teaspoonful
of finely-minced ham, tongue or other
cold meat, with one-half teaspoonful
of melted butter. Spread this mixture
evenly between thin and thinly- butter
ed slices of bread. Sometimes give
them hard-boiled eggs, cut in slices,
the slices lightly buttered and fitted to-
gether again, and find them a welcome
addition to their bill of fare; and l al
ways, if at all possible, give them a bit
of fruit-a pear, apple, orange Or a few
grapes. and above all things, / try to
make the lunch attractive. 1t is car
ried in little willow basket, the
daintiest l could find, and l hem
stitched, fringed and embroidered a
set of fine linen doylies two years ago
which are never put to any other use
than to place between the different
articles of food, of which l never allow
more than three varieties, including
the fruit 1t may be only fancy, but it
seems to me the children enjoy their
lunches far better if daintily put up.
At all events / know the lunch basket
always comes home empty.-Cottage

THE DARK CONTINENT.
The War on the Germans by Coast Nj

tives in East Africa.
The Germans have serious work on
hand in East Africa. Along three
hundred miles of the Zanzibar coast,
between Pangani on the north and
Kilwa on the south. they have been at
tackled by coast natives at five of their
stations and several Germans have been
killed. This uprising has speedily fol-
lowed the ceSsiOn to the Germans by
the Sultan of Zanzibar of this strip OF
coast, about five hundred miles long
and ten miles wide. The immediate
pretext for this rebellion is the violent
| disinclination of the coast people to
accept the sovereignty of Europeans.
| The real cause of war is the utilization
of the coast natives with the Arabs of
the interior. These attacks are only the
latest development in the programme
of open hostility to all the whites in
Africa which led Mwanga, frenzied by
Arab lies, to kill Bishop Harrington,
and also led to the capture of Stanley
Falls and the assaults upon the Euro
pean settlers on Lake Nyassa.
These coast natives are not such IN
uttered savages as those among whom
white men have cast their lost on the
other side of equatorial Africa. They
are half-caste Arabs and Moslem Ne

as porters; but most of those who are

half-caste Arabs and coast clans known
as the Wa Mrima, whom the pure
Arabs regard as greatly their interiors,

in Central Africa. TiPpu lib. is him

German stations are among the pure
African tribes on the highlands from

coast strip.
The inevitable conflict Between the
whites who are trying to uplift and de-
yelop Africa and the Moslems who are
decimating and degrading her people
has now been signalized by bloodshed
half way across the equatorial regions.
Every enterprise of the whites from
sea to sea in this part of Africa is now
confronted by che Arab question and
the signs are multiplying every day
that this problem must be settled be-
fore any of those projects can go for

What to Do IN Case of Sun

AS this is the season of the year
when sunstrokes and prostrations

or green or other, as it may be; the
pupils are often contracted; the per-
