Charles Mohr, of the United States
Forestry Bureau, has an article in the
Engineering Magazine, which demands
the attention of Southern legislators. He
says stupendous as the timber resources
of the South appear, it can but be cvi-
dent to anyone conversant with the facts
that we have entered already upon an era
involving their complete extinction, and
he vividly points out the threatening cal
amities that will follow the disappearance
of our forests, not only in the extinction
of one of the South's important indus
tries, but in the climatic changes that are
already, perhaps, beginning to make
themselves felt.

Persons who are inclined to take a
gloomy view of pauperism and crime IN
New York, would do well, suggests the
News, of that city, to glance at the Of
fetal reports of the municipality of Lon
don. The two years ending January l,
1891, the date of the last biennial re-
port, the cost of maintaing the paupers
of London was f2,3i0, 900, the equiva-
lent of about $1l 1905 During the
two years there were 10s,74S criminal
convictions. While these figures show
that the percentage of crime aud pauper-
ism IN London greatly exceeds that of
New York, the same report indicates a
much lower percentage of attendance in
the public schools.

HANDY SHOE CUPBOARD.

A handy boot and shoe cupboard can
be improvised out OF auY old packing
case of suitable size. This can be fitted
with light matchboard pigeon holes,
each holding pair OF shoes. If the lid
is available (thc case being stood upon
its side), it can be fixed to pair of
hinges and form real miniature cup.
board, which, being stained and Aspin.
allied, will also serve as seat or small
table. Without necessarily troubling
about having a door the case could be
covered with cretons or chintz, padded
on the top with flock, and so form set
tee; il SO, the piece of material which
should fall to cover the pigeon holes IS
generally tackled on to sheet OF C .rd-
board or has heavy lead buttons slipped
in the hem, so that it may fall firmly and
keep the dust away.

RECIPES.

Pudding Sauce--A nice pudding sauce
is made by boiling together for ten
minutes a cIp of ricl cream and half
pound of maple sugar, Another by
rubbing to a cream half cup OF butter,
one OF powdered sugar and one beaten
egg. Flavor to suit the taste.
Flannel Cakes Without Eggs-Take
two cups of white cornmeal, two quarts
of milk, half cup Of yeast, flour for good
batter. Scald the oatmeal with plat
OF boiling water; stir in the milk and
STRAIN through colander; then add the
-four and yeast. Cover aud let the bat
ter stand until morning. Salt, and il at
all sour, stir in little soda.
Breakfast Stew-Take cold beef or
mutton, cut fine, put one tablespoonful
of currant jelly, Que of butter, half of a
small onion chopped, the juice of a
lemon, with pepper and salt in small
saucepan. Set over the fire, add the
meats, stir altogether and let simmer
fifteen minutes. Take up in heated
dish and garnlsh with chopped cucumber
pickles.
Homemade Candy-An odd and de-
licious candy is made by boiling a pint
of cream with a pound of maple sugar;
put them over the fire together and let
them heat slowly until the sugar is
melted, then boil rapidly for one hour;
if the sugar is very moist longer boiling
will be required. Pour into well
buttered tin pans lined with waxed
paper; when partially cold cut into
squares like caramel. Just before 1t Is
taken from the fire walnut or butternut
meats are sometimes dropped into one
part Of it for variety.
Mulligatawny Soup--Fry in littlc
butter three small, sliced onions, two
tablespoonfuls of minced ham, half a
fowl, or half rabbit; when slightly
Drowned pour over two quarts OF veal
stock and simmer gently for an hour.
Add an even tablespoonful of curry
powder and an ounce Of almonds
pounded to paste with the juice Of half
a lemon. The soup is not strained, and
boiled rice and picked mangoes 60 with
it. 1t owes its clumsy name, which
means literally "pepper water to
restaurateurs of hundred years ago who
introduced, under this name, the familiar
curry soup of India.
Minute Pudding-properly made this
is a most delicious dessert, but is also
true that when rightly made its name is
misnomer, since many minutes are re.
quired instead OF one. The fresher and
r.cher the milk the better the pudding.
The moment the milk reaches the boil.

The New York Times observes:
"Thc worlds working stock of genius

misfortunes may be attributed in large
degree to his extraordinary success.
AT Suez he achieved what statesmen,
capitalists aud engineers throughout
Europe had pronounced impossible
and chimerical. If NJ. do Les,eps
succeeded at Sucz it was because he
was not an engineer. If he failed at
Panama it was because he was only a
speculative diplomatist aud not prac-
tical man of business. The very
qualities which enabled him to over
come every obstacle at the lsthmus,
where a tide-level canal was to be cut
through desert levels and an ancient
sea-bcd, disqualified him for taking u
sober view Of the difficulties of rock
ribbed Panama or for controlling the
food of reckless financial waste aud
corruption which swept everything
before it. In the end lie was like 4

Run knife or skever into the thickest
part OF the ham next the bone. II tn.
knife comes out clean the ham is good; ;
il it smells rank and smears the knife
the ham Is not good. Select your ham,
then, according to this rule, and lay it
in cold water. Scrape aud wash it care
fully and let 1t remain in the water all
night. In the morning, when the water
enough to cover the ham-is nearly
boiling, lay the ham in aud keep the
water in a simmer. When it has boiled
about an hour throw in two carrots, four
onions, two heads of celery, a sprig Of
parsley, two or three blades of mace and
four cloves. II the ham is very salt it is
well to change the water before putting
in the seasoning, but if you do be sure
to change to boiling water. To obtain
tenderness and mcllowness the ham must
not be allowed to boil hard, only sim
mer. Too much heat harlens ell meat,
especially salt meat. When the ham Is
done set it oil in its own water and let it
cool in 1t. BY this means it will retain
its moisture. When cool take it out,

Lord Dunraven Sends . Letter to
 Chairman Smith and Hopes to be fin America 10 See some of the Resattas.
 NKwYoRK, April 12.-Commodor Smith, chairman of the Americas cup committee, has received the following letter from Lord Dunraven, dated London, March 25:
 Dear sir-I have the pleasure of soknowl- edging the receipt of your letter of the 9th instant. The conditions for sailing the matches for tine America's cup are quite satisfactory, and the only suggestion that I have to make is that perhaps six hours is rather short time for completing @ lee ward and windward race. I may take this opportunity of pointing out the desirabil- ity of distinguishing the stakeboats or marks by some large fsg which should not be an ensign or other flag likely to be flown by any tug or vessel watching the race.
 "As regards dates could be very will ing to curtail the time necessary in trying the yachts competing to defend the cup or preparing the selected vessel for the races, but would point out that if the first race Is not sailed until October 1t will be get ting very late in the season for the voyage home by the time the Valkyrie can be fitted out for sea. As you will have the whole summer before you I should be glad If your committee can gee their way to fixing their date about the middle of September, or as soon after ss convenient. I hope I may be able to get across in time to see some of your regattas and the trial races. which should be very interesting.
 Thanking you and your committee very much for your most kind offers of assist ance, remain, yours very faithfully,

 My Lord-I beg to acknowledge the re- ceipt of your favor of March 25. The sug- gestion you make therein will receive the consideration of the committee. have the honor to remain, your obedient serv- ant, JAMES D. SMITH.

RIOTERS IN POSSESSION.

They Have Taken Charge of one
 Town in Belgfum-They Attacked
 the Guards With Stones and Rub-
 Dish.
 BRUSSELS, April 12.-Three hundred miners engaged in the strike at Quaragnon in the province of Hainaut to day made an attack upon the sheds about the mouth of a pit and smashed every window in them. There were many men working in the pit who had refused to join the strikers. All sorts of rubbish. old boards, stones and dirt were thrown into the pit. Consider able damage was done.
 The mob was on the point of attacking another pit when the gendsrmes arrived. The latter ordered the rioters to disperse, and upon their refusal to do so attacked them with the flat sides of their swords. The strikers finally dispersed. Further trouble is spprehended.
 Striking miners have rioting all the after noon at Cuesmes. Four thousand men attacked the buildings near the pits mouth shortly after noon, drove off the guards and officers and demolished all the machinery, houses and shops. They tried to take by storm the Catholic club, but were driven back by other private citizens and the police. A communal councillor who encouraged the mob has been arrested.
 The rioters have possession of most of the town. The garrison in Mons has been confined to the barracks, and @ call for help is expected from Guesmes before the riot is over.
