Four Ways of Cooking This Delicious
Spring Vegetable.
RHUBARB MOULD.

Weigh one and one-half pounds of good
rhubarb, after peeling and cutting up, and
cook it little in just enough water TO
cover 1t, but no more; then add to this
three-quarter pound of loaf sugar, after
crushing it, and three-quarter ounce OF
leaf gelatine stir 1t well together and let
it cook for Is or 20 minutes; then lift 1t
off the fire, add a few drops of carmine,
if required, and pour it all into mould,
and leave till set; turn out, and serve
with custard or whipped cream.

Cook the fruit by either of the above
recipes till tender enough tomash through
a sieve, then mix it, when perfectly cold,
with sufficient whipped cream to bring 1t
tard, and serve. This is particularly de-
licious if iced 1t can also be mixed with
more or less rich custard, and served in
the same way, either with or without
cream.

IF PRETTY, SAY SO.
Compliments TO a Woman's Beauty Not
Necessarily Vulgar

The idea that a compliment to a wo-
man on her beauty is vulgar, is a very
silly idea, writes G.. S. Street, in the
June Pail Mall Magazine. The COM
plment may be vulgarly phrased, as
may anything else, of course. Our an

HOW TO WASH FLANNELS.
Great Care Required in the Washing and
Rnsing.

White soap is necessary if you would
have your flannels look well and feel
soft. Wash them in clean, warm but
not boiling water, by themselves, max
ing a strong lather before they are put
in. Put through two waters, then
through a third, to which little hluing
has been added. Cold water hardens
flannel While drying, shake and
stretch; alloy them to dry slowly, and
they will scarcely shrink at all.
A DASH OF POWDER.
An affectation of the moment-a fem
mime affectation, of course-is a dash
of powder on the hair just above one
temple. The pompadour style of Golf
fure offers a particularly good field for
the exploit, and there's no doubt that it
has a chic effect all of its own. Very
young women are most given to it. The
middye-aged, whose locks are already
whitening al the temples, have little
use for it, though as a matter of dip
lOmacy they now and then turn it to
account The dash of powder, so pa
tently artificial abstracts attention
from the naturally silver threads. The
fashion of all-over powdered hair by
the way, is decidedly imminent. There
are rumors that it will be the accepted
thing for full dress next season. And
meanwhile as a shadow of that COM
ing event, we have the fashion of pow
dering fractional bit of the hair.

WOMEN IN ENGLAND.

One of the cynics used to say:
"When women get business sense, ii
will be cold day for man." The re-
cent meeting of the International
Council of Women, held recently in
London, gives warning of the approach
of the cold day The president of
the Council for eleven years has been
"a titled woman of England. Lady
Aberdeen was the last che who held
the office. There was a strong feeling
among the English women in favor of
keeping some titled woman in the
office. The Canadian delegates agreed
with them. So did the Australian.
The candidate for the place, nomi-
mated by the national councils. was
Mrs. May Wright Sewall, the teacher
of girls school in indianapolis. In
stead of making any fuss about it, or
calling the American and foreign dele
gates mean things leading British
women said that Mrs. Sewall should be
elected. Mrs. Creighton, wife of the
Lord Bishop of London, Lady Batter
Laura Kidding, daughter of an Earl,
and wife of Bishop in the House of
Lords, agreed that it was not a ques
tion of feeling or pride but ofobedience
to the rules of the Council. When the
ballots were cast Mrs. Sewall was
unanimously elected. All of the
women from the monarchical countries
of Europe voted for the republican
American. After the election, there
was not the slightest trace of ill-feel-
ing. No storm centre of mysteries
moved through the convention. The
delegates went to work with the very
best of good feeling.
There was abundant evidence of the
influential position the Council is TAX
ing in social life. The men cease to
sheer when the debates of the women
in convention show knowledge, wis
dom and sagacity.
The silly sentimental talk OF the
thinking" women of a generation ago,
gives place at present, to the talk of
women who are real thinkers. More
over, the fact that women, in many
respects, are better educated than men
owing to their command of time for
study, has modified the conditions that
existed a few years ago
The evolution of the problems of civ
ilization is now largely in the hands !
of the women, where it ought to be |
and, so far as the United States is con- |
cerned, the power of women, developed |
by education and experience, will see
to lit that the Republic will not go

tive features in the life of the late Ro-
bert G. Ingersoll, that he held and ex-

THE PANAMA CANAL.

VIM. +. Curtis, a newspaper CORE
spondent of good reputation, has re-
Gently visited Panama, and states in
the Chicago Record, that he was sur
prised at the progress made in the con
struction of the De LesSeps canal. The
company which owns it has been
quietly and vigorously at work since
1894, and has undertaken the most
difficult part Of the work in the first
instance VI. Vossion, the French Com
missioner recently residing in these
Islands, said in 1897, that the world
would soon be astOnished at the com
pletion of the canal. The Advertiser
repeated his statement at the time it
was made, but it seemed to be in
credible that such gigantic work should
be in progress, without descriptions OF
it being constantly made to the public
through the journals. Mr.. Curtis con-
firms NJ Vossion's statements. The
French engineers in charge of the work
say that the cost of finishing the canal
will be about s100,000,OO0. The esti-
mates for constructing the Nicaragua
canal far exceed these figures.
One of the most remarkable features
of the enterprise lis that the most i'm
proved sanitary measures have been
taken to preserve the health of the
thirty-eight hundred laborers engaged
in the work Instead of dying by the
hundreds as they did when De Lesseps
was in charge, the field and central
hospitals are so we'll managed, that
there was not a single death from the
Chagres fever in 1898. Measures for
preserving the health of the laborers
are so admirably taken that even |
Americans are not attacked by the |
tropical diseases which laid over 10000 |
men in the grave during the building |
of the Panama railroad.
The certainty of the completion OF |
this canal within a short time, will |
have strong influence over the for
tunes of the Nicaragua canal project.
The commerce of the world does not
require more than one canal. Congress
will be disposed to delay action when
it is satisfied that the De Lesseps canal
Will be finished.
