Once, during the school days Of the
new president Of the French republic,
his professor in geography asked him;

group" Casimir-Perier crossed his
arms tightly upon his chest, looking
very perplexed. One of his neirhbors
whispered to him q wrong answer,
whereupon the professor gave him the
exact position of this little rroup
which belongs to the more important
French establishment Of Tahiti. and
after short pause, and with little
point OF irony, said: "You ought to

The Ashevlle Register, Richmond
Pearson's organ, is urged not to forget
that 500 will be added to its bank ac-
count any minute of the day or night be-
tween now and the election, when it will
show that Pearson.ever voted for the
repeal of the present system of county
government when he was member of
the Legislature in 1887. This is no Joke
no bluff, but straight propositions. II

SEVERAL Maryland conventions have

SEVERAL Maryland conventions have
already denounced Senator German,
and perhaps it will soon occur to him
that his course in the Senate in obstruc.
tiou to the Wilson bill was neither good
policy nor done in representation of the
wishes of his constituency. German has
already been heavily scored for his action
in the matter of the tax on refined sugar
He boldly declared that the duty was
necessary to secure the votes of the
Louisiana Senator's, but they promptly
denied this, and said they were as much
surprised as. any one when it was found
that the trust had been favored. In his
bitter attack on the President German
intimated that he was serving his State
in his opposition to the Wilson bill but
the voice of that State SO far as it has
been expressed, does not bear out Cor
mans statement. 1t will soon be in
order for the Senator to contide in the
public so far as to tell again why he was
so solicitous for the trusts. Perhaps he
can guess Alright by trying hard once

The Chinese of all nations seem to

loaves OF Chinese mono, or steamed

A Pretty Dessert.

A pretty method Of serving berries
at luncheon or for a light dessert is in
a mould OF champagne jelly. Prepare
the jelly with halt a pint Of champagne,
half box of gelatine, half cup OF
cold water, the juice of lemon, cup
of sugar and one and one-half cups of
boiling water. Soak the geatlne tor
two hours in the cold water, add the
sugar and boiling water, and then the
wine and lemon juice. Strain the jelly
through a flannel cloth. Have one
charlotte russo mould holding two
quarts and one holding one quart. Put
a half-inch layer OF the jelly in the bot
tom of the larger mould, and set it
evenly on the ice. When the jelly IS
firm, set the small mould on it filled
with cracked ice. Pour in cold melted
iellv between the two moulGs, and
VIII en- this is firm take the ice out OF
the small mould and put in a little luke
warm water, Just hot enough to allow 1t
to be lifted out. 1t is thing that must
be done with care, tor if the water IS
too hot the Jelly will melt, but IT it is
lust right the mould can be easily lifted
out without disturbing the jelly. A
quart cavity will be left in the Jelly,
which is to be filled with fresh straw
berries or raspberries. The fruit tor
This purpose must be kept very cold,
and must be we'll sweetened just before
If is put in to make it palatable. 1t also
looks pretty if little whipped cream Is
mixed with it. The mould should then
he wreathed with whipped cream and
decorated with fresh strawberries or
rasnberries when it is turned out.

Peanuts and Food.

The value of peanuts as food is not of
recent discovery. To eat few has
been recommended for indigestion, but
this view Of their efficacy is not ex-
actly borne out by experience. The
trouble is to eat the "few"-peanuts
having a seductive quality, like pop
corn, which invites continual MUNICH
ing. A German medical journal has
recently called attention again to the
food value OF the goober or peanut.
The writer of the article, an eminent
German physician, believes the nuts
would be an especially valuable article
of diet for corpulent diabetes and those
subject to diseases Of the kidneys, who
must avoid food containing much ami
NAL albumen.
While on the subject a peanut soup,
which has certainly the merit of novel
tv, is suggested by an exchange, with
the additional accredited value of being
full of nutrition: "Shell pint Of pea
nuts, remove the red, paper-like cover
ing and roast the nuts, or you may
roast them in their shells. Grind the
nuts to a fine flour or powder III a NOR
tar, or by rolling them on board. Use
the powdered nuts in cream soup,
made from pint Of milk and 81 pint Of
water, a small tablespoonful Of flour
and large one Of Lut.er, rubbed to-
gether and season with salt and white
pepper to taste The soup may also be
made without milk, using a quart of
water, and serving with thin slice or
two of lemon in each dish. Add the
sliced lemon to the soup, just as it goes
to the table, aud serve hot. Meg York

Peculiar European Law.

The extraordinary announcement
that has recently appeared in the Ger
man papers to the effect that, by virtue
OF decree obtained from the courts,
Baron Albert Won Ohlendortf had dis
inherited and disowned his eldest son,
the Baron Albert Oscar Won Ohlendorf,
on account OF his extravaganza, habit
ual drunkenness and general miscon-
duct. This is necessary, according to
Teutonic law, in order to render mop
erative the claims, which the young
man would otherwise possess, upon his
parents property. On the continent
OF Europe parents are held to have
certain obligations SO far as property
and maintenance are concerned toward
the children, whom they have brought
into the world, and disinheritance is
only permitted when the sanction of
the courts has been obtained-a sane
ton given in such cases as the above
alone, or where the son has become a

Raw Eggs as a Tonic.

A raw egg is an excellent tonic with
which to begin these warm spring days.
It is strengthening and tends to prevent
that tired feeling SO prevalent at this
season Of the year. If prepared in the
following way it is really a delicious
drink: Put the yolk of an egg into a
dish with a teaspoonful Of white sugar
and teaspoonful of orange or lemon
juice, and beat lightly together with a
fork. Put the whites on plate and
add d pinch Of salt; then, with a broad
bladed knife beat it to stiff froth.
