DAINTINESS COUNTS.
How to Ma1e a Plain Meal Delightful
and AcceptabIe.

and Acceptable.
A simple and dainty breakfast is one
of the most delightful things in the
world, and the woman who can serve
it in an acceptable manner ought to be
considered a better housewife than she
who serves rich feasts unattractively.
\ chop set forth on gittering china
on a cloth of shining damask is better
than the rarest bird in the market
thought on in slovenly style. Toast
and tea may make a feast with white
linen and glistening silver when all the
delicacies of the season would be a poor
meal if carelessly served. Always have
the tablecloth spotless and fresh, even
if YOU have to convert every day into
wash dav to compass it. Always have
a silence cloth, though there is no des-
sert for a week in order that it may be
paid for. Always have a bit of green
in the center of the table. Let the sill
yer, even if it is plated, be shining,
ard the glass, though it be pressed
and not cut, be glistening.
Have the accessories of a banquet,
though the main part of it be lacking.
Serve olives, radishes, sailed almonds
and the like with the plainest of family
dinners. You may make the last-named
yourself at trihing expense. Heat one
teaspoonful of best butter, or one scant
teaspoonful of olive oil, smoking hot.
Add one-half pound of Jordan almonds,
blanched. When the almonds begin to
brown, sprinkle over them one scant
tablespoonful of salt, and stir and
shake until all are a golden brown. Oil
gives a richer glaze than butter. To
blanch the almonds pour over them
boiling water. in which let them stand
IS minutes. Rub the skin off with a
coarse cloth.
When the family wearies of the regu-
Iation desserts, give it cake with sliced
oranges A delicious dessert cake is
white layer To make it beat to a
cream IA cupfuls of sugar and three
quarters of a cupful of butter. Add
three-quarters of a cupful of milk. two
cupfuIs of -four, one teaspoonfuI of
baking powder, one teaspoonful of van
lila and white Of four eggs. Bake in
layers. Maple sugar frOsting gives a
delicious flavor to plain cake. To make
it boil oae-half cupful of white sugar,
one cupful of maple sugar and little
cold water. Boil it till it forms fine
hairs when dropped from the spoon.
Add one-half cupful each of butter and
| sweet cream; boil ten minutes and stir
till cool.-Chicago Chronicle.

New York City Complains of Discrim-
nation in Freight Rates


Philadelphia May 1O.-The interstate
commerce commission today in the Uni
ted States circuit court rooms here re
sumed its hearing on the subject of diff
ferential freight rates. A preliminary
hearing was given in New York last
March and a postponement was taken
with the agreement that the commits
sion continue the hearing in this city
today.
The case at issue is that of the Pro-
duce Exchange of New York against "a
railroad companies for maintaining in
alleged violation of the interstate com
merce act, a system of freight dlIeren-
tails in grain, -four and provisions from
the west TO Philadelphia. Baltrnore
Newport News and Norfolk which the
New York Produce Exchange alleges
has operated to the disadvantage OF
the commerce of New York.
All of the railroads in the joint trafhc
association are named in the petition of
the New York Exchange. and IN add
ton to. these a number of railroads are
also included which are not members or
the traffic association The dIHerentlalS
complained of are , cents a hundred
pounds in favor of Philadelphia and )
cents in favor of Baltimore, NorfoIk,
Newport News. The petitioners also
allege that shippers OF grain to Boston
are given the advantage OF the same
rate as is charged to New York, and
are granted certain privileges IN the
way of terminal facilities for export

Exchange

In many parts of South Africa railways
are comparatively a new departure, and
in consequence a large proportion of the
farmers are wholly ignorant of the way en-
gines work
One stalwart colonist who thought him
self cleverer than his companions was
standing on the platform at Bloemfontein,
the capital of the Orange Free State, dur
ing shunting operations. He had been ex-
planning the principles of steam motive
power to an amused crowd when suddenly
the engine began to move backward, push
ing a string of trucks.
His jaw dropped, and he gasped out:
81 can understand how the engine pulls
the trucks, but I'm blessed if know how
the trucks pull the engine back again
Then the crowd yelled.-LondOn An

Grand Opera House in Paris rose on as
fine an audience as had ever assem- bled
within its walls. In one of the boxes on
the grand tier sat three gentlemen. One,
a tall, bronzed, soldierly man, noticing
many glasses being leveled at an opposite
box, lifted his lorgnette and looked across
the stage.
A lady with a little coterie of admirers
had just entered. She wore some soft,
silken dress, all aquamarine and silver.
There were water lilies in the golden hair
and emeralds on the white neck. A child
ish face for all it's pride and that peculiar
poise of the head; a face with luminous
blue eyes, a snowy, stately throat and
cheeks just dashed with roses.
''Who is she?' Max Marsden questioned
reathlessly.
MA foiP' cried a vivacious little
Frenchman. "You do not know? She is
a compatriot of yours-la belle Ameri-
caine. Her name is Lester-Mlle. Lester. y
"Ahr' And then, after pause, "Who
is that gentleman leaning over her chair?'
"Ah, that is Savagneau, answered
member of the American legation, the
Co1nte de Savagneau. He is heir to half
a dozen princely estates and is mademoi-
selle's devoted slave. But she will have
none of him She is a beauty and an heir
ess, and half Paris is mad about her, but
one might as well adore a statue No
marble is colder than she. "
Max Marsden, the celebrated journalist,
the literary lion of the day, looked with
keen eyes across to that dainty vision with
water lilies in her hair
During the last act she arose and gath
cred her rich wrap around her.
Half an hour later Max Marsden stood

Her face was transfgured. She held out
both hands in her old, frank, fearless way.
He caught them tightly in his own. All
his soul was in his eyes as he looked on

HER TRIUMPH.

One year before Cora Testers father had
died, leaving his children orphaned and al
most friendless. He had been accounted a
wealthy man. His house on the boulevard
had been a marvel of almost barbaric mag
nifcence. But after his death the knovvl-
edge came to his children that the only
heritage their father left them was that of
bitter poverty. Their only relative, an IN
Gle, because of former ennity with his
brother, refused to aid them.
So, with childish pride, taking the small
portion remaining to them, they went into
the world alone. But slowly their slender
purse grew lighter and lighter and would
have totally collapsed were it not that Max
Marsden came forward with kindly offers
of assistance. He was only a struggling,
unsuccessful journalist. but he was old
friend of the family, and they looked up to
him and trusted him accordingly.
Many the little comfort which found its
way from his hands to this upper story
room. Cora got work painting porcelain
for city house. Often after Offering to
deliver it she would cry out in surprise at
the ample pay her friend brought back.
"They had customer who was willing
to pay a good price for suitable work, -
Max would answer gravely.
That night they went to the opera, and
on the way home Cora exclaimed:
81 did not know how dearly loved
Verdi. I shall never hear bar of his mu-
sic without recalling my first opera, Max
without relnemb ering you"
"You will not forget me? I am glad of
that. I am going to test your promise
sooner than you think, dear. am going
away tonight
"Going away?'
The young voice was sharp with quick,
constrained pain new to it.
Yes I have obtained on trial the po-
sition went to New York to procure. I
sail for England on Tuesday. And now
here is piece of good news to counteract
the other. I went to see your uncle today
and had long talk with him. He is not
such grim, hard man as they say. He is
very lonely, old and childish. He promises
all luxury, all kindness, if you will both
go to him and be as his own children.
Seeing him as I do with unprejudiced eyes,
think he regrets his past heartless con-
duct. !"
"But, Max
My child, I know all you would say,
but Cedric is not strong enough to work,
and cannot go away leaving you so lone
~ and helpless. Besides, it is not wholly
dependence. In his hands is some money
of his fathers on which you have morally
a claim. Believe me, it is for the best. -
He went into the house and shook hands
with Cedric. Then he stopped to Cora and
reverently touched her forehead with beard
ed lips. A moment more and the great,
shabby figure had burst out of the room
and was striding rapidly away under the
blue, star studded sky.
She stood and watched him out of sight
with eyes growing strangely dim. Once he
paused and looked backward. She war
still standing there, a slim, dark figure
against that patch of light

freak upon an orange tree in the yard
of F. G. Williams in this city. About
two years ago Mrs. Williams grated
the buds Of two orange trees, partly

that some fine oranges would be the
result. The tree was not even watered,
and this year the result is surprising

On one limb about quarter Of an
inch in diameter are two naval oranges
about three times the size of an
ordinary Seeding, and not a. leaf
IS to be seen on the limb.
On another limb of the same
tree, the diameter OF which is about
three.eighths of an inch, are eight
oranges, one Of which is of the ordi-
nary size, but the other seven ore
fully as large as the two mentioned
above. Several prominent horticul.

The Land of Famine.

The present famine in India recalls
others which have occurred within his
toric times. In Britain in 272 the
people we're forced to eat the bark of
trees, Again, in $40, 10000 died
through starvation in the same coun-
try. In Italy in $50 parents ate their
children. In England in 1916 the
people devoured the flesh OF horses,
dogs. cats and vermin. At Cape Verd
in ITS l6, 900 people starved to death.
India has had many great famines. In
1928 100000 persons persisted; in
lS60.6l, many thousands more; in
Bengala and Orissa, in 1866, the
deaths from starvation aggregated
l.00O,O00; in Rajpoatana, etc., in
1SG8'G3, the deaths were 100000,
and in 1877 about 100000 persisted in
Bombay, Madras, Mysore, etc. In
the same year the famine in Northern
China was so great that $500, 900 are
said to have persisted. Atlanta Con-
