Union Sailors Having Hard Struggle
for Food.
San Francisco, April 26.-The union
sailors are between the devil and the
deep sea. They have practically given
up the strike that they inaugurated a few
weeks ago, aud now they are having
struggle for sufficient food to keep them
alive. The boarding masters are refus-
ing to give them shelter. That is doing
more to discourage the union men than
the fact that vessels are going to sea with
nOn-uniOn crews every day. 1t is true
nOn-union mon are scarce, and there is
considerable difficulty III securing crews,
but the owners OF the ships say it is bet
ter tor them to tie up their vessels than
take on union men at the rates they de-
mand.
The boarding masters are discussing
the advisability of forming an association
for their own protection. A blacklist will
be the main feature of the organization,
and a sailor who once beats his boarding
master will be unable to secure food and
shelter while ashore at any house in the
association. The union sailors realize
their position, and many of them are
looking for berths, but vigiIant eye is
being kept on them by tho union pickets
and spoilers.

THANKSGIVING dinner was not confined to
a consumption of turkey; there were other
dainties considered to be finer than tur-
key. The royal roast goose was a great
favorite with the Colonial DANES. who
prided themselves upon Their cookery. In
regard to this dish this is what they were
taught by their mothers and grandmoth-
ers:
Geese are sent into market at all ages,
and the feet of the very old ones are usu-
ally scalded to deceive the buyer as to
their age. Farmers do not usually send
their geese to market until they are too
old to pluck without fear of killing them.
If the web of the feet is tender and the
under part of the bill breaks easily, the
goose is young and tender, but very few of
that age find their way to market. A
goose ranks among fowls hog among
animals. having the faculty of taking
an abnormal quantity of fat. SINCE, clean
and dress the goose the same as you
would a turkey or chicken.
1.-The intestines are larger than those of
a turkey and much fatter- The skin
should receive a good washing in clear
water before being stuffed To make the
stuffing take two cups of mashed white
potatoes, one tablespoonful of butter, one
tablespoonful of onion juice, or grated
onion if you like, one teaspoonful of salt,
two tablespoonful of finely chopped eel
cry. one-half teaspoonful of pepper and
one tablespoonful of juniper berries
chopped fine
Epicures of the modern school all know
that the delicate flavor of the priced can
vas-back duck is due to the fact that 1t
feeds largely upon juniper berries, and the
colonial ladies displayed rare knowledge
when they favored the dressing of the
goose with these berries.
HAM BAKED IN CIDER.
Another Thanksgiving dish highly priced
nv colonial epicures was ham baked in
cider and if the same delicacy were pre-
nared to-day it might make the fortune of
some ambitious chef. This is the way 1t
was done a hundred years back:
Wine whole ham clean and put in a
baking pan, skin side down and over the
Aesh side sprinkle one-half a teaspoonful
each of pepper, cloves and allspice and
one-ouarter of a teaspoonful of mace, and
cover all with a little onion juice. Into
the bottom of the pan put sprig of cell
ery two bay leaves and a slice of onion.
PIT a cup of -four in bowl and add suf-
fcient water to make a paste, cover the
ham with the paste as far down as the
skin and then turn into the pan two
quarts of cider. Put in hot oven and
cook for three and one-half hours, bast-
ing every fifteen minutes. When cooked
take off the crust, turn over and take
off the skin and put in another pan with
the fat side up, brush over with a beaten
egg, sprinkle with chopped parsley and
bread crumbs and bake in a hot oven for
one hour, when it will be ready to serve.

FEW CARDINALS ELIGIBLE.
Ihere are really but very few Cardinals
who are eligible for the Papacy. The
most conspicuous Roman Cardinal is Mgr.
SperafinO Nannuteli, former Nuncio at
Vienna. He is sure to receive a certain
number of votes at the next conclave
and under existing circumstances has a
chance of carrying it.
Mgr Parocehi was for long time one
OF the Cardinals most eligible for the
Papacy, but, whatever NAV be the ex-
PLANTATION, his candidacy has worn itself
out 1t has been too much talked about.
VI late the opinion has been expressed
that a Cardinal residing outside the CITY
OF Rome Will be chosen for the tiara
The Roman Cardinals see So much of
each other that many small jealousies
might interfere with any concerted action
for one of their number.
among the Italian Cardinals outside of
Rome, there are two at this moment who
attract attention-Cardinal Svampa. Arch

the programme of Cardinal Ferrari or of
Cardinal Svampa. Only one thing is
known: that on the Italian question thew
are extremists to a rare degree: both
are openly in favor of the dfsmember-

statu quo ante al Rome, and in the an

ROYAL REPAsTs.

The Empress of Austria Small
Eater, but Victoria Drinks Teddy.
Royalty does not always mean fuss and
feathers says a London paper. There is
the Empress of Austria, who spends much
of her time at her villa at Ischyl She
makes breakfast at IL and dinner at 6
without any state or etiquette. Nearly
every day she starts out on a mountaineer
ing or fishing expedition with the young
Countess Kinsk, a sturdy jaeger and a
whole pack of Gogs. The Empress figure
is one of the most exquisite in Europe.
The waist in particular circled by a broad
leather belt, with perhaps a knot of gray
edelweiss stuck in it, is a marvel of neat
ness-and yet she is a grandmother.
Queen Victoria uses a little more cere-
mony, but practices moderation. The
Queen takes a light breakfast, a hearty
luncheon, a substantial tea; but at a quar-
ter to 9, when dinner is served, Her Majesty
eats very sparingly, and only of the light
est and most nutritious food. About mid
way between breakfast and luncheon, when
the Queen is transacting business (all the
heavy work of the day being over and done
with at half-past one Her Majesty takes
refresher in the shape of either cup or
beef tea, as strong as it can be made, or an
egg beaten up with a little milk or sherry.
The Queen never drinks any spirit undi-
luted. Her Majesty occasionally takes a
small glass of fine old whisky, mixed with
a tumbler of mineral water. People must
have queer idea about careful dieting
who include raw spirits in the regimen.
