about doubling its production Of 1896.
There are 500 acres planted in oranges in
tho Salt river valley thus far, and the
success which has attended the industry
will result In the planting Of many new
groves this spring. OF the 500 acres about
500 acres are now in bearing. and the

rieties of oranges grown are about equally
divided between the Washington navel and

The islands are Of even more value
to Spain for the same reason. They
can be used In trading with the other
powers The astute Spanish minister
TO Paris, Senior Leon y Castillo. has
seen further ahead than any Of the
other ministers: and he Is right. from
the Spanish point Of view.
Great Britain has not been unnind-
fui Of the possibilities. and in short
time Sir Julian Pauncefote VIII be sue

Under the rules which obtain In the
British foreign office the present am

Julian Pauncefote was requested to re-
main over a second term on account OF
important questions pending at the time
when he should have been recalled.
His service in this country has been 30
successful that he might be invited by
his government to remain even longer,
but his health Is not very good, and
at his age 1t might be unwise to i'm
pose upon him the additional cares
which the minister must assume before
long.
The reason the change Is to be made
now is that the British government
evidently desires to have the new min
lister familiar with every step taken by
the United States government. Sir
Thomas Sanderson has occupied such
responsible position in the service OF
his country and is SO familiar with the
policy Of the ministry that he is ex-
ceptionally vel. qualified for the po-
sition. There are limitations that the
new minister will come here with full
authority to enter upon negotiations
with this government to the end that
better understanding may prevail.
We do not credit the story that part
of British policy is to secure transfer
OF the Philippines to that country. In
the first place. although 1t may cause
us some embarrassment, II is unlikely
that the United States will consent to
hand over the islands TO any power but
Spain. and then only in return for some
more valuable concession: and. in the
second place, the European powers
would strongly resist any transfer I'M
less they obtained a share. Possession
Of the islands would give us some ad-
vantage, while any movement toward
placing them under British control
would involve us in greater annoyances
than those occasioned by retaining
them.
Under any circumstances the conclu-
sion will not be reached without a mani
festatlon OF sharp rivalry. and it vii,
be an advantage to this country to have
oughly familiar with the subject and
one who has for so long been intimate
with the inside workings OF European
scheming.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SEATTLE, MONDAY, MAY 80.



The residents of Seattle win shortly
be called upon to vote a considerable
sum Of money for the erection OF new
school building. Few questions are
nearer the American heart than that

and enlightenment Of the rising genera
ton, and. despite economy In other
branches Of public expenditure. an al

sources. successive legislatures, OF

Somewhere near two-thirds OF one group
Of men, women and children, professediy
under the protection OF his most Chris
tan majesty" the king of Spain, were
starved to death in eleven days less than
four months. The attractive girls were
sold into lives of shame, and thus the
military chest OF the Spanish troops IN
Cuba were enriched. If this had happened
in Armenia every pulpit. every mug
wump, every doughface and every re-
former and purist in the United States
would now be screaming for war. But
Cuba is near. Armenia is afar off.

Spanish authorities.

The lack Of interest in the approaching
school election is astounding. The last
day of registration is approaching. yet the
number of voters enrolled is absurdiy

is taxed, the stock representing the value
OF these possessions is taxed. and now it

How to Make Pumpkin Pies.

The pumpkin will be sweeter and
of richer color if it is not peeled. Cut
it up and scrape out the seeds and soft
interior. Put it in large porcelain
lined preserve kettle and pour pint of
boiling water on it. Cover it closely
and let it stand where it will slowly
steam until it's juices are drawn out
Then cook it rather faster until the
juices have been absorbed and it is al
most dry. 1t should cook about eight or
nine hours. Rub it through coarse
sieve and leave it to drain in finer
sieve overnight. Use the pumpkin liq-
uor to make brown bread.
In the morning take a quart Of milk
to A cups of the strained and drained
pumpkin. Add large teaspoonful of
salt, large tablespoonful Of ginger,
one of mace, half nutmeg grated, A
eggs and cup and a half of sugar and
mix we'll. Bake this custard in deep
pie tins. Make some of the pies at least
in square tins, to provide the delightful
corner pieces which are sure to be in
demand. A custard Of pumpkin should
be made at least an inch thick. Make
mince, apple and any other pies as thin
as the canons Of fashionable taste de-
mand, but do not attempt to make a
pumpkin pie unless it is generous in
size and ample in depth.

How to Make ounce Cordial.

Select ripe but sound ounces. Rub
Off the fur and cut them into little
pieces. Pour just enough water over
them to cook them. Let them cook one
hour. Strain off all the juice that will
pass through coarse muslin cloth.
Strain the pulp left through PURGE
sieve and use it for marmalade, cooking
it with half pound Of sugar to a pint
of itself. Take the strained juice, meas
ure it, and add cup of sugar to every
pint Of juice. After it has cooked 10
minutes add two-thirds Of pint of
French brandy to every pint of the
liquid. 1t is not necessary to use the
best brandy, as a good cooking brandy
will do. Let the cordial stand in stone
jar for week and then bottle it, 1t is
fit for use sooner, but it improves by
keeping it year.

SPONGES.
How to Select Them and Their Varied
Uses. tNl

How to Select Them and Their Varied
Uses.
There are many purposes about the
house that require the use of sponge
IN place of cloth. When taken care of
properly, sponge will last long time
for household purposes. Purchase q
large pored coarse bathing sponge One
of fair size may be bought for 70 or 90
cents where a specially is made OF
sponges, channels skin and few other
articles of the kind kept by druggists
among their sundries.
Fine carriages are always washed
with sponges, and this is the best way
to wash off fine finished woodwork, dry
ing it afterward with a soft absorbent
towel. When it is desirable to wash a
hard wood floor, sponge will do the
work more rapidly and with less injury
or danger from scratching than any
cloth. If the work is quickly done, as
it should be, and If an absorbent cloth
Of soft cotton follows the trace of the
sponge, no water is left behind.
Sponges are much cheaper than they
were formerly. A very good bathing
sponge may be purchased as low as 81. 90
or $3.50. These once cost three or four
times that sum. A physician usually
selects rather dark kind of sponge that
shows no signs of having been bleached,
because it is well known fact that
ragpickers take out the sponges from
the refuse barrels of hospitals, clean and
bleach them with acids and offer them
for sale. These sponges are used in the
foulest diseases and should not be sold
again for any purpose. For this reason
the snowy bleached sponges of the itin-
Grant vendors should be avoided.
The finest silk sponges come from
Turkey and the east and are always
costly. They are used chiefly by sur
geons. A coarse, open meshed sponge is
easily washed and dried, and it is there
fore most desirable for household pur
poses. Always hang it out in the open
air in order to insure its being sweet
and free from the close smell that q
sponge shut up in box acquires.
