Serving Vegetables.

The subject sometimes proves quite puz-
cling to housekeepers-just what to serve
with certain vegetables. The Delineator
comes to our aid and tells us that meat soup
is accompanied by bread only. pickles and
crackers are served with oyster soup, and
grated cheese is often passed with macaroni
or vermicelli soup. A pea or bean soup is
sometimes placed at one end of the table
and a neat square of boiled pork at the
other. The soup is generally served by the
hostess, and the waiter passes it to the host,
who cuts off dainty slices of polk and places
one in each plate of soup. The pork is cut
so thin that it may be divided with the soup
spoon. Hot boiled rice is served with
gumbo soup. 1t is boiled until perfectly
soft, but not enough to break the grains,
and is often placed in a dish beside the soup
tureen. In serving, the hostess pours a
ladleful of soup into each plate and lays a
spoonful of rice in the center. Many house.
keepers prefer to serve the rice in the soup
from the tureen. 1t is French custom to
offer twO-inch squares of thinly sliced and
buttered brown bread with soup. Cold
slaw is delicious with soup, being eaten at
the same time or just after the soup plates
have been removed.
When fish is served as a course at dinner,
potatoes are usually the only vegetable pre-
sented They are often cut in little balls an
inch in diameter which are fried brown and
arranged about the fish in little piles as
garnish; but sometimes the potatoes are
simply boiled and served In another DISH
Fish for baking is occasionally stuffed with
seasoned, mashed potatoes; aud small po-
tato cakes that have been dipped in egg,
laid in bread crumbs and fried are served

Interesting Items.

How many different ways can you cook
and serve potatoes? Did you ever think of
it? Well, just count up and the very doing
so will suggest some method you had per-
haps forgotten. When you have finished
you will in all probability be- surprised at
the large variety of recipes and many very
simple ones.
Do you know that the most shapely

SWIMMING is one of the branches of an
English girls education, and in London last

FRANCES WILLARD recommends flood
BARI where men can get good food as quickly
as they now get drinks. The idea has been
carried out in Boston by the establishment
of cent restaurants where poor man can
get meat stew, or something equivalent,
four pieces of bread and cup of coffee for
cents and be allowed to eat it in clean,a
tractive place.

Some cooks provide cucum


bers with fish.
Almost any vegetable may be eaten with
beef. If potatoes are not served with the
fish course, they generally accompany the
beef, being mashed, fried in balls or cooked
in any preferred way. When sweet pota-
toes are provided it is obviously an error to
serve baked squash or an additional veg
etable, the two being too much alike. At
company dinners beef is usually served with
mushroom sauce. Horseradish is also a
popular accompaniment for beef.
Corned beef should be served with carrots
turnips. parsnips or cabbage, or with pick
les about it.
Cranberry sauce, or some acid jelly, such
as currant or plum, should be sent to the
nished with sausages made of pork or beef.
Any vegetable may be properly served with
this popular fowl.
Fried chicken should always be accompan-
led by caulifower and cream dressing, the
caulifower being placed on the same dish,
and the dressing poured over them. Boiled
or fricassed chicken should always be flank
ed by q dish of boiled rice. A row OF baked
potatoes makes pretty garnish about a roast
chicken. Salads are often attractively
served with chicken.
Green peas, spinach, cauliflower and as
paragus are liked with either lamb or mutton
and currant Jelly should be served as rel
| ish.
The most judicious foods to serve with
pork are fried apples, apple sauce, tomatoes
and sweet or white potatoes. If pork is Of
fered in the form of sausage meat, apple
sauce or fried apples should never be omit
ted. Thinlv sliced boiled or fried bacon
forms sayory garnish for beefsteak. Thin
slices of pork, egged, Predetermined end
fried, and served on slices of fried mush
make palatable breakfast dish, and the
pork alone may garnish fried chicken, beef
steak or Dreaded chops.
Any vegetable may accompany veal.
Apple.sauce and turnips are invariably
served with goose. Most epicures demand
currant, plum or some other acid jelly with
game. Saratoga potatoes or potato balls.
spinach, tomatoes and salads are suitable
side dishes.
When cheese is used as course at dinner
it is presented just before the desert. The
English eat celery or cucumbers with it.
Thin milk crackers or wafer biscuit made
crisp by moments heating in the oven
are usually served with cheese, and butter
is provided for the crackers, this being the
first time butter appears at fashionable
dinner. Macaroni with cheese, Welsh rare
bit. cheese omelet, and cheese cakes are
good substitutes for cheese course.
At almost every company dinner sweet
breads are served with peas. They are de-
licious, however, with tomatoes, caulifower
or macaroni. or with tomato sauce or cheese
together with asparagus or succotash.
When the French fashion is followed can
taloupes are served with salt after the soup
at dinner. Melons are, however, more ap-
propriate for breakfast and are usually cut
in two, the seeds removed and the cavaties
| filed with cracked ice.
Watermelon is sent TO the table alone, the
same as fruit, at dinner.

Madrid, March 15.-The following
cablegram has been received here:
Taylor, Minister, Madrid:
This department is informed that on
the eighth instant the United States
mail steamship "Allianca," on her
homeward voyage from Colon TO New
York, when six miles from the coast
of Cuba off Cape Maysi, was repeated
ly fired upon by a Spanish gunboat,
with solid shot. which, fortunately,
fell short. The Windward Passage,
where this occurred is the natural and
usual highway for vessels plying be-
tween ports of the United States and
the Caribbean Sea. Through it several
regular lines of American mail and
commercial steamers pass weekly
within sight of Cape Maysi. They are
well known and their voyage embraces
no Cuban port of call. Forcible inter-
ference with them cannot be claimed
as a belligerent act, whether they pass
within three miles of the Cuban coast
or not, and can, under no circum-
stances, be tolerated when no state OF
war exists. This government will
expect prompt disavowal of the unau-
thorized act and due expression OF re-
gret on the part of Spain, and it must
insist that immediate and positive or
ders be given to Spanish naval com
manders not to interfere with legiti-
mate American commerce passing
through that channel, and prohibiting
all acts wantonly imperilling life and
property lawfully under the flag Of the
United States. You will communicate
this to the Minister for Foreign AT
fairs. and urge Importance OF prompt
and satisfactory response.

Washington. d. c.. March 15.-The
text of Secretary Greshams demand
was taken to Senor Muruaga, the
Spanish Minister.
Il am astonished," said he. that
this course has been taken when as
vet only one side OF the story has been
told. and any action must be based on

will Spain apologize?" Minister
Muruaga was asked.
THAT remains TO be seen after
Spain's side OF the story is learned,
said he. Certainly there will be no
replv until all the facts are known,
not alone from Captain Crossman, Dut
from the commander of the Spanish
gunboat alleged TO have done the hr-
ing. When these facts are known,

dicate a desire to ascertain the facts.
But this, it is said at the department,
Will scarcely avail unless the message
assures that the Spanish government
has instructed its naval commanders
to refrain from interfering with Amer
lean vessels. The notable feature OF
Secretary
GRESHAMS DISPATCH
is found in his statement that when
an American vessel is on her usual
route the fact that she is inside or
outside of the three mile limit does
not affect the merits of the case.
From this it is apparent that the
secretary has taken his stand on the
Alabama Claims Commission, Whlch
was practically new dictum in lnterna-
tional law, for it had been the rule
previous to that decision TO regard as
beyond question the right of nation
10 detain suspicious vessels passing
within the limit of three miles from
coasts over which its marine jurlsdlc-
tion extends. 1t will undoubtedly cost
Snain bitter effort to accept the force
Of this doctrine, for if the right 10 stop
suspicious ships in Cuban waters is de-
MED. the task of maintaining an ell
lective blockade against lilibusterlng
expeditions will be impossible without
recourse to a formal acknowledgment
Of the belligerency of the insurgents.
The Spasish government would be
exceedingly loath, as are nearly all ma
lions in such cases, to make such al
acknowledgment, for not only would II
immensely strengthen the rebellion
morally. but it would result in confer
ring upon them certain very important
aids in the prosecution Of their war
fare. 1t was for just such a privilege
that Admiral da Cana struggled so
hard in the Brazilian rebellion, only TO
meet defeat through the success OF the
efforts of the Piexoto government IN
persuading the United States against
atfording recognition of his belllger-
ency.
Secretary Gresham came TO the State
Department to-day in person, looking
very weak as the result of his illness,
but determined to keep the further ne
eotiations in his own hands. II the
Spanish government should be stung
by the urgency shown by the United
States in making the issue in refusing
to meet our demands, our Minister,
Mr.. Taylor, may not unlikely

Department to-day from Admiral
Meade announced the arrival Of his

OF Venezuela. He has now with him

Washington, d. c., March 15.-Senor
Muruaga is pursuing his investiga-
tions of the Allianca affair. The Gov
ernor-Ceneral of Cuba has wired that
there was no information of the Span
ish gunbOat.
For my part" said the Minister,
this looks very much like a sea SER
pent affair. Every now and then a
captain states that he has seen the sea
serpent and came near being swal-
lowed by it. Captain Crossman is no
doubt a worthy officer, but it looks
very much as though he had a dream
as to seeing a Spanish gunboat. There
are no afIidavits as yet, and the proper
course would be to exact afiidavits
from the crew and passengers OF the
Alliance and find out if they agreed
with the statements OF Captain Cross
