PREPARING sALTED ALMONDS.
Recipe for the Dainty Dish That is all
the Craze of Late.

Recipe for the Dainty Dish That Is all
the Craze of Late.
Sailed almonds are now favorite.
dish at receptions, teas, luncheons and
even dinners, and their popularity is in
creasing all the time. They are ex
pensive when bought at the con-
fectioners', bit here is simple recipe
for preparing them at home: First,
carefully crack the nuts SO that the
kernels can be. extracted whole, then
blanch the almonds by placing them
In scalding water, which causes the
brown covering of the nut to loosen,
when it can readily be removed.
Have ready a pan of fine salt, and when
the nuts are all blanched place the
warm, wet kernels into the salt. Then
set the pan away until next morning in
order to give them time for the salt to
soak a little into the almonds.
Next day remove the kernels from
the salt and place them in clean pan.
The salt which still clings to them will
drop off; do not try to remove it.
Place the pan of nuts in the oven to
brown, and stand by them, as they re-
uuire constant attention. Stir often
and bake quickly to a light brown.
When done pour them into cold pan
and allow them to cool.-Detroit Free

Meg took Katie's advice. She ran
fist, for she was frightened. Mrs
Sackett heard her story and gave her
a severe scolding for her carelessness.
Some boy took it to scare YOU. It
must be about the neighborhood. Go
and lookln she ordered. She was a hard
working woman, and treated things in
matter-of-fact way.
Butswhen Meg came back. to report
that no one had seen baby or carriage
anywhere Mrs. Sackett became
alarmed. She forgot. to scold this
time. She put on her. bonnet and
searched the street thoroughly. She
inquired at all the stores, and even
went to the police station.
Coming back from her fruitless ex-
pcdition, she dropped wearily into a
chair by the door. Meg could not bear
to see her mothers white face. She
picked up her hat and crept down
stairs.
An organ man was playing a lively
tune, and Lou French's little sisters
were dancing to the music. They came
up to ask Meg IF the baby was found, .
and Meg, without looking at them,
choked and rushed down the street.
She walked on in breathless state for
several blocks, and happened to pause
for breath just where there sat, on a
doorstep, boy about twelve years old,
with woebegone and tear-stained
face
Meg looked at him and asked, alb
ruptly: Whats the matter? Have
| you lost baby?"

dignantly. You clear out of this!'
He seemed to look as If he thought
she was making sport of him.
i Meg was glad to 'clear." She had
only spoken out of the abundance of
her thoughts She walked along. sur
veying absently the windows she
passed. She wondered if all the babies
who lived in those houses were safe, OF
if their parents were hunting for any
of them in grocery stores and police
stations.
/ At the next corner she stopped again.

The New York Eeening Post, in
a tempest of rage, declares the
pursuit of the Itata to be flag
rant outrage, gross disregard Of
International law and simply
brutal. 1t holds it to be unwarrant-
ed by any precedent, and to be no
more defensible than was Napo-
Icons order for an assault before
breakfast to show a lady what a
battle was like. The Post contends
that we have no right to pursue
the Itata upon the high seas, but
that if she should come within
American waters then We could
properly seize her. Let us ask the
Post for what? 1t must reply, for
violation of the neutrality laws.
But for more-she was in the pcss-
ession of the United States; our
Government had placed upon her
an official, and she was therefore
under arrest. While in that con-
dition she ran out of the harbor
of San Diego, forcibly dispossess-
ed the official and put to sea. The
United States has, therefore, the
right to retake her upon the high
seas. The case is very simple.
When the Post charges the pursuit
to iingoism and assails the Secre-
taries of State and of the Navy
with bitterness, and alleges that il
there is blood shed because OF the
pursuit it will be murder on the
part Of the Secretary Of the Navy,
the PAPER talks nonsense. 1t
would seem that whatever this
Government does, the Post is
bound to snarl at It and shower
abuse upon it; there is nothing
American that commands its res
pect. 1t ought to be published on
the other side Of the big pond
