A Granite ma an Icing.

At recent cooking school demon
stration of cold desserts the difference
between a granite and an ice was ex-
planned. A granite is grained ice,
the difference resulting In the treat
ment after it is in the freezer. The
granite is packed in the can and set
away without any stirring except that
at the end of an hour the sides of the
cans are scraped free of the Ice and
the mixture repacked. This process is
twice repeated. If a fruit granite is de-
sired at the end of the third hour the
fruit is stirred tightly in, but not beat
en-. The result is mixture Of much
coarser grain than ordinary ice. The
latter is stirred frequently.

William Nj. Evarts dearly loved
Joke so dearly, indeed, that once. when
secretary of state, he came nigh upon
being the death of one of his subordi-
mates A consul In the West Indies
wrote home stating that his health in
that climate was bad and asking for
transfer. At that time there happened
to be a vacancy In northern Sweden,
and to 1t the astonished and dismayed
consul was transferred instanter by
Mr.. Evarts 1t was not what he had
bargained for, and, as an ieebound
winter was change that would have
meant translation for him to another
sphere, the secretary finally relented
and gave him a berth elsewhere.
At one time in the department Of
state new elevator man had been EN-
ployed who did not know Mr.. Evarts
by sight. In his car was conspicuous
sign to the effect that by order of the
secretary OF state smoking was prohib-
lied. Late in the day the secretary
boarded the car in company with ia
nous senator, the latter smoking a eli

the smoker on the elbow and said,
pointing at the notice, Cant you read
that sign?' Mr.. Evarts promptly tore
down the offending notice and turning
to the elevator man, said: what signf
don't see any" The attendant, sus-
pecting something, wisely held his
peace, but he followed the pair out
and asked the guard at the door who
the little chap with the large head
was. The guard told him. New York

A Handsome worixl,ap.

A very handsome working can be
made as follows: Get three-quarters
of a yard Of silk brocade and the same
quantity and width of palmer silk, of
the same or a contrasting color, to
serve as lining Cut these across from
selyage to selvage so that you have
two pieces of each 1917 inches.
Take one piece of each kind and fold
them in half. separately, selvage to
sewage, and cut them at the fold.
Now seam one of each of these halves
to tire corresponding large piece at the
seiyage, making the length once and
a half the width of the silk, taking the
13l3 inches for the depth of the bag.
Join the open ends and sew these two,
the broeade and silk. carefully togeth-
er, using the silk as a lining.
Stitch casing one-half inch wide
two inches down from the top, making

a buttonhole at each end for the ribbon
drawing string, which is made Of two
yards of less than one-half inch wide
ribbon, one yard to match the brocade
and one to match the lining. Run
through the casing with bodkin and
tie the ends Of each color in little
bow and sew them for greater security
Now make a disk Of cardboard six
inches in diameter and cover it on both
sides with thin' layer of cotton bat
ting and then cover it with the silk bro
cade on one side and the silk lining on
the other, oyerseaming these together
at the edges. Gather evenly the bot
tom Of the bag around the disk and
oyerseam it on, and your bag is fin
ished The advantage in making it
with circular cardboard bottom is
that when 1t is pulled open at the top

Mark Hamburg, the pianist, told a

child he disliked music and liked foot
ball and other outdoor sports, just like
any other healthy boy, but his parents
made him practice, torture though IL

shouting and playing outside. When
he was 8 years old, however, he fell
into the spell of music, loved the in

THE CARE or c4RrING KNIVES.

From The IronmOngers' Chronicle.
Carving knives should, to begin with he of the
hest steel and then should always be kept in
tbe highest condition. good knife saves time
and trouble while the portions and joints look

fIunt cutting edge has been used. 1t is well
for an ir0nmonger when Offering these goods for
saIa 10 thoroughly understand not only the con-
StrJctjon Of the article he sells. but the best
manner Of using it, A few hints given by
Sheffield manufacturer when discussing this
subject may be useful He says: L have
handled carving knives both in business and at
nv table for many years, and l know that the
hest knives VIII not cut properly when used
bot roast beef unless the steel is used after
e.erv few cuts. The best way is to the steel
after every cut. The steel need not be rough,
as some people imagine-in fact, a well
steel is better than one with rough surface.
and few passes over it with the knife produce
a good edge The man who Tubs and man1pu-
lates a carving knife for five minutes against
steel before he begins TO carve. and thinks that
now he has il all right and may send the steel
away makes great mistake. He should keep
the steel handy, and pass the knife over it light
ly a few times after every cut or two. And
even then he will accomplish nothing unless he
knows how to use the two instruments.
carver must be held at angle of from twenty
careful to have the angle the same on both
sides otherwise the knife will be duh instead of
sharp. The knife should be drawn on the steel
from heel to point against the edge, and the
pressure should be very light"

began settling at Lisbon and that they were
much too shrewd in business to be popular with
the natives. Anyhow, there is a Portuguese col
loquialsm in use to this day by which a man
who does another in a business transaction is
said to give him the English palm That phrase
is supposed to allude to some little trick of the
used to be measured by the breadth of the palm
of the hand
Whatever the origin of the expression may
have been, it has been freely applied by the
Portuguese in connection with several interna-
tional bargains in which, according to them, the
English got the better of them One such
the bargain by which Bombay passed into the
possession of the British Crown as part of the
dowry of poor Catherine of Braganza, who mar
ried Charles II. But the sorest memory in the
history Of the relations between the two coun-
tries is the Convention of Cintra. by which, they
say, England after using Portugal a
venient cockpit for the war against Napoleon
and numbers of Portuguese as food for French
powder, gave them another English palm
"Of course. it is a difficult historical question
how far these complaints may be we'll founded
But it certainly is strange to be in Lisbon when
the Cortes is debating some point of the
national relations with Great Britain, and to
hear and the popular anti-Brtish demon
stratons in the streets, while in the two cham
bers the debaters, whatever their private feel

THE "ENGLISH PALM "
A POPULAR SAYING THAT EXPLAINS
PORTUGALS DISLIKE OF ENCI.AND

There are one or two things about the Portu-
guese and their history" said a former resident
of Lisbon the other day (which, 1t seems ought
tc nave a good deal of bearing in the present
state of the relations between Great Britain and
Portugal. but which neither Americans nor Eng
lishmen who have never lived in Portugal are
likely to count upon.
THE feelings of the Portuguese peonIe about
England are peculiar. In point of plain fact the
Portuguese as people hate England more than
they hate any other country except Spain and
yet there has never in the whole course of Eli
ropean history been a war between Portugal
and England. The animosity, paradox as it
may seem, all grows out of alliances. 1t is said
that the first treaty Of amity and alliance be-
tween the two countries was made in the reign
Of Edward III, the father of the Black Prince
and John of Gaunt That was more than five
hundred years ago. John of Gaunt's second wife
was a Spanish princess. and his daughter by
her was the wife Of John l. King of Portugal
and mother of Prince Henry, the first European
explorer of the Atlantic
so much is only what may be read in anv
history. How the feeling about the English grew
up in Portugal is a matter of tradition and the
tradition is exclusively Portuguese because the
English have never troubled themselves about
the matter. The Portuguese say that from the
end of the fourteenth century English merchants

QUEER INDIAN BIBLES.
CURIOUS SURVIvALs OF JESUIT INSTRUCTION
AMONG THE YAQUIS IN A LATIN

INDIAN BOOK
From The San Francisco Chronicle.

From The San Francisco Chronicle.
TWO of the most peculiar volumes ever COM
plled In the name of religion have passed from
indian possession into the keeping of a San
francisco man, Luis LOaiza. They taken
from the dead body of a Yaqui Indian, unor-
dalned priest or maestro" who shot by
Mexican regulars during the last insurrection of
his tribe.
These sacred books reveal the religious beliefs
and ceremonies of the Yaquis. The maestro to
whom they belonged was one of band of Ind
ian marauderS that had been devastating the
country as they passed through it and commit
ting all kinds of atrocities while on their way to
join the remainder of the tribe. The maestro
had apparently forgotten his priestly calling.
for he was fighting with the utmost ferocity
when killed. After he fell the Holy Scriptures
were found by a soldier next to his murder low
ing heart.
The maestro artist of considerable
imagination and technique all his own as his
conception of Christ on the Cross St John, st.
Gregory and the Deity shows. His idealization
of the Ascension the victory of the Cross
sin and doomsday. is pathetic in it's cruelty. A
draped cloth over the Cross to represent the
wrapping of the body of Jesus in myrtle and
olive leaves before laying Him In the sepulchre
according to st. John xix. 40. proves that the
maestro must have been student 1t is to be

hoped that if he has reached heaven the Arch
angels Michael Gabriel and Raphael have for
given him for his Outlandish portraits of them
Father Demasini, of the Jesuit Church, to
whom these books were submitted for inSpec-
tion says that such drawings were never au-
thorized by the head of the Church. and that
unless one knew the Latin mass by heart it
would be almost impossible to attempt transla-
ton or Interpretation of the book containing it.
The mass seems to him to have been taken down
while listening to the priest; the words are dis
connected, sylIables being joined to the wrong
words and producing curious tumble.
The Spanish book is a little better, but Occa-
sionally word occurs which is known only to
the understanding of the Yaquis.
Both volumes put together with infinite
neatness and painstaling care are written and
printed with a pen every stroke of which evil
dences a labor of love and reverence for the
task The frontispieces. in red and black ink,
are 'fearfully and wonderfully made" The cover
of one is of gaudy red calico, bound with black
