HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
II Meals Look Pretty.

In the preparation OF food it is i'm.
portant to remember that no cookery
is really successful unless our sense
OF sight be gratified as well as taste
and smell. All food should look ap-
petizing, as we'll as taste and smell
nice, and the effect of the best OF
cookery will be spoiled if the meat be
not set in an orderly and pleasant
room on a properly decked table.
Let the tabIecloth and serviettes
(the latter should be used at every
meaD be perfectly fresh and clean, and
as fine and good as you can afford.
Take great care, too, that the glass,
china, plate and cutlery are bright. In
placing the dishes on the table do it
i'll such way that they will look we'll,
regarding the table as a whole. A
few flowers, a growing plant or even a
dish OF fresh fruit, with green leaves,
Mill add much to the decorative effect
of the table, as will also the salad of
lettuce and tomatoes, or even the
pretty little pats o. butter garnished
with parsley.
The homeliest fare, if temptingly
arranged, is far more relished than
more costly viands put on the table
without care as to appearances. Do
not overcrowd things. One can only
eat a limited amount, and the sight OF
quantities of food is revolving to q
delicate appetite. Finally, remember
to make every meal pleasant little
function, at which all the senses may
have refreshment.

Some Tomato Dishes.

Tomato Merango-Two quarts of
tomatoes, one and one-half pints on
ions, one pint of peppers, one cup OF
mustard seed, one cup of salt. Chop
all fine, cover with cold vinegar. The
longer it is kept the better it is.
Tomato Butter-Seven pounds of
tomatoes. seven pounds of tart apples,
four pounds of sugar, cloves, CHINA
mon and all-spice to suit taste. Boil
the tomatoes and apples together un.
til they need stirring, then add sugar
and spices. Boil four hours.
Tomato Chowder - Take "a large
tomatoes, one dozen green mango
peppers and eight medium-sized on.
ions; chop all fine. Then add three
cupfuls of vinegar, one tablespoonful
of salt, three large tablespoonfuls oil
sugar, one teaspoonful of cloves, two
teaspoonfuls of cinnamon and one
teaspoonful of allspice. Tie the
ground spices in a small muslin bag.
Boil the whole mixture two hours.
Before sealing, if desired, add a little
grated horseradish. It can be kept
either with or without sealing, but is
best if kept sealed.
Tomato Pickles-Take one peck oil
green tomatoes, one half-peck OF on.
ions, one dozen green mango peppers
and two heads of cabbage. Slice on a
slaw cutter about the thickness of q
silver dollar; mix we'll. Have ready
in a preserving kettle some vinegar
and add to vinegar one cup of salt, one
cup of sugar, one tablespoonful of
celery seed, one tablespoonful of all
spice, one tablespoonful of cloves and
tablespoonful of turmeric. Do not al
low this mixture to stand any time
but place in kettle at once. If the
vinegar does not cover the mixture
add more vinegar. Bring slowly to q
boil and boil 20 minutes. The pickles
are best when made in the fall, when
the tomatoes have had slight touch
of frost. 1t can be kept like any other
pickle, but must be in alright jars.
Tafy-Melt two ounces of unsalted
butter, add q pound of light brown
sugar, and after boiling for time add
the grated rind of a lemon, or a little
essence of ginger. Boil till the syrup
dropped in cold water is brittle. Put
in buttered tins, and cut when cool
with buttered knife.

WAKE ISLAND AWAKENED.
Old Glory Hoisted Over Little Piece Of
Territory In Mid Pacific.

Old Glory Hoisted Over q Little Pieos Of
Territory in Mid Pacific.
The conditions under which Wax,
Island, midway between Honolulu and
the Philippines, was taken possession
of in the name Of the United States by
the commander Of the Bennington Oh
her voyage across the Pacific are
given in report to the Navy Depart
ment from Commander Taussig.
The officer says he approached the
island with the navigator at the mast
head, steaming slowly along The south
ern and eastern sides to discover signi
of habitation, and looking in vain fol
an anchorage. He did not clrcumnbvi
gate the island, but seeing that the
outlet on the north was barred not only
by wall of coral but also By sand
pit, he returned to the lee of the isl
and. a landing was made and a flag
pole was raised. Besides some piecei
of wreckagc, no signs of human occu
patton were visable. On tn. eastern
side of the island, imbedded in the
sand an .anchor was seen and wha'
appeared TO be the wreck Of lower
mast was higher up the beach.
When the flag staff was in place the
sailors were formed in two ranks fac
ing seward, and having called all t.
witness that the island was not in pos
session of any other nation, Comman
der Taussig ordered the American flag
TO be raised by Ensign Wettengell
Upon reaching the truck the flag was
saluted by twenty-one guns from the
Bennington. After the salute the flaa
was nailed to the masthead with bat
tens, and a brass plate with the fol
lowing inscription was screwed to the
base of the flagstaff:

Commander Taussig describes the
island thus: 1t was more heavily
wooded than shown in the chart
Patches of grass were growing on the
lagoon side of the western islet, and
the shrubbery afforded nesting places
for the many sea fowl. Fish were
plentiful in the lagoon, and there was
a swift current running out of the
southern passage. The lagoon on the
south side was shOal, but on the north
side there was long strip of deep
blue water extending nearly it's whole
length. Outside the lagoon many
sharks were seen crowding Ground ouI

SELECTED STORY.
HON E. MING.

Once more upon the old stiles top
rest my arms and look
Upon the dear, oft-dreamed-of scene
OF meadow land and brook.
The tall fir trees about me stand
Like clustered soldiers grim,
And through their tops the evening
breeze
Signs, soft requiem.
Those happy days of long ago,
When life was in its spring,
With youths glad heart, as free from
care
AS birds that soar and sing
And dreams of that sweet bygone time
Shine through the dark'ning past
AS harbor lights to sailors eyes.
Storm-tossed, show home at last.
From all the turmoil of my life
| find a sweet release,
And to my burdened, tired heart
Comes Gods most perfect peace.
All, weary souls, whose dearest dreams
Earth's fate and grind may blight,
Let natures teachings point the way
If you would find true light.
MARY DEVEREUX.
