Cream in salad Dressings,

Some people do not know that
cream can be used in salad dressings.
At the same time there is no question
that the best salad is made of oil, but
the whipped cream can be acceptably
used in its place, and the tasteis little
different from that of the regular
mayonnaise. A recipe for this whipped
cream dressing is: Take two eggs,
three tablespoonfuls of vinegar, two
tablespoonfuls of cream, one table
spoonful Of sugar, quarter of table
spoonful of mustard. The bowl in
which these ingredients are mixed
should be placed in a vessel of boiling
water and stirred until the consistency
of rich cream, then lift the bowl from
the hot water, and, when cool, place
in the refrigerator

The resources OF Mindanao are not so

Misamis and Surigao, and neither of
them reported encouraging results.

Calls Liver bourgeois.

Procure a nice liver from two and
half to three pounds. Cut one pound
of larding-pork in strips two inches
long and not too thick. Season each
strip with pepper and salt, then lard
the liver. Put iE braisiere one table
spoonful of butter, and the remnants of
the trimming and rind of pork. Place
the liver in it, and leave it until nicely
brown all over. Remove the liver
from the saucepan. Add a desert

stirring all he time with a wooden
spoon. Season with two pinches OF
salt, two of pepper, half a pint of dry
white wine, one and half of water;
add bouquet of three sprigs of pars-

bay-leaf, three onions and two cloves.
Put the liver back again in the sauce
pan; cook one hour and half over
a slow fire. Add to it lastly one pint
of small new carrots and q half pint
of small new onions; cook half an

Serve the liver on warm platter;

In tea-making hard water is always
to be preferred to soft since it dis
solves less of the tannin in the leaves.
In adding milk or cream to tomatoes
for bisque, have both hot and then
add q pinch of soda. This Will pre-
vent curdling.
Milk is an excellent substitute for
soap in washing dishes. A half cupful
to q dshpan half full of hot water is Il
good proportion to use.
To soften hard water when you do
not wish to boil it, drop Il little piece of
chalk into the pitcher and in snort
time the water will be quite sort.
Eggs that it is desirable to keep
fresh should be put in cool, dark
place. And it is always desirable to
keep eggs fresh. One that isn't fresh
is nothing short of an abomination.
In a lobster salad, lettuce leaves
torn in coarse bits, are used in place of
celery, the lobster coral is sprinkled
over the mask of mayonnaise and the
small lobster claws are used in the
decoration.
Bits of brown bread, graham, etc,
make just as good pancakes as do bits
of white bread, which as most house
keepers know, are very appetiZing ana

Keep n small, stiff new toothbrush

Common DelusIOps.

Full nine out of ten persons plume
themselves on being different from
others, when their very belief in the
notion is its own contradiction. We
complacently aver, II have such a
keen sense of the ridiculous" when q
true sense of humor would have pro-
hibited the boast. But what we most
plume ourselves upon-if we are the
average man or woman-is our power
to read character. II may not be par
ticularly clever" we observe, with that
guileless braggadocio which masque-
rades rs humility, but OF one thing
I'm certain, and that is, I'm a good

her seventh birthday. AT that time

Now Betty had dear, dea: ."-,.e'
who lived at their house, a-d was
always thinking and doing tha Elost
delightful things. So when s.,e :, "
how bad Betty felt. she put o.! best
thinking-cap, and soon had male up Il
clever plan for a birthday surprise
without any party.
For several days before the party,
Betty noticed that auntie looked very
funny and mysterious, ard she just
knew something nice was going to
happen.
When she opened her eyes on the
morning of her birthday, she saw lean
ing up against the side of her bed. a
large bag. 1t looked like the bags
that ragmen use to gather rags in, and
seemed to be full of something very
odd in shape.
Betty jumped out of bed to look at
1t, and there, tied to the draw string
was a card with her name on it. Or
course She knew it was birthday
present. But what funny way to
give oner' she thought. rs she pulled
it open. Inside was just what she
had longed for, a new doli-carriage for
her Christmas doll.
AT breakfast-tlme she found under
her plate a tiny bag made of pink SILK.
Inside, wrapped in cotton, was IA ring
with the tiniest speck of diamond
in it. How she danced about and hug
ged papa and auntle!
When she got ready to start for
school, she found, in place of her old
book-satchel, q new school-bag, with n
Story-book in it. 1t was hard to have
to leave that at home. and put her
school-books in its place. Jane, the
cook, gave her calico bag to keep
buttons in. She found this at noon, up
in her room; also a pretty laundry bag
from auntie, with six new handker-
chiefs in it. And when papa came
home at night, he brought, instead of
box of candy, big bag full of candles
and nuts
But the incest birthday bag of all,
so Betty thought, was the one Tom
gave her Tom was the gardeners
son. and a very good friend of hers.
He had two of the dearest little pup
pies that ever were seen, and Betty
had been teasing for one ever since
they were born.
How surprised she was when. on her
birthday, Tom came in with horses
feed-bag in his hand. carrying it very
carefully, and begged her to accept it.
1t seemed 4 queer present, but she
thanked him, and peeped in, and there
was the prettiest puppy, the one with
the white nose.
When Betty went TO bed that night,
with the ring ON her finger the doll

PHILIPPINE MOUNTAIN TRIBE.
Missionary Describes the Igarottes
Who Cook and Eat Dogs.

Who Cook and Eat Dogs,
The Rev. G. Il. Carlisle, mission
airy, formerly of Warsaw, N. Y, writes
from Dagupan. in the Philippines, to a
friend, and in his letter describes the
lgarottes, a mountain tribe. lie says:
Up in the mountains of the north
east there is tribe of half savage
people called Igarottes. They live in
the mountains, hardly ever coming
out into the valleys, except when hun
ger compels them. None of them
wear any clothing except a strip OF
loin cloth. They have speech OF
their own. The Fillpinos cannot un-
derst2nd them. They are fond of dog
meat; SO two days ago four of them
came down here and in an hour had
captured 16 dogs, tied them VITA
ropes and started away. The Filipi-
nos did not disturb them, letting them
have all the dogs they could catch.
They came right past my tent in the
evening. stopped on the bank of the
river little way from the centre of
the town, killed dog, cooked and ate
him. They skinned it, cleaned the
body, ran stick of green bamboo
through it lengthwise, then two of
them spftted the meat over the rire
until it was brown. Then they laid it
in the grass. and these four ate every
bit of that dog. even picked the bones
clean. They had no other food with
the meat; no knives or forks or
plates. They just took the flesh in
their hands, tore it into bits and de-
voured it. Some of our men offered
them n bit of cooked beef and they re-
fused it, but ate the meat raw. Then
they sang some sort of a chant, beat
ing on their stomachs the While. IL
sounded to me like:
1--WE like dog
All same hog,
Baked dog. fried doc, dog soup,
Bow-wow mucho good.
'They are rather taller than the
Fflipinos, black as night and have
kinky hair. AS the sun went down
they moved away out of the town, lead
ing 10 dogs and carrying one they had
to kill in order to get him. Tne
sight made me sick and | lost all ap-

the dogs out of the double score that

Baker announced. just as the little
kittens started to wade about within
the iridescent dome. Phil sphered
them over q second and even third
time, when the pussies. excited by
their uproarious surroundings, offered
decided objections to being imprisoned
any more. Then Bub5lers and audience
Were treated to an exhibition OF what
were perhaps the largest bubbles that
have ever been made. Harry Baker
was especially fortunate, and. ut the
end of very exciting contest with
Phil, succeeded in sphering the pan
over from brim to brim. Realize, II
you please, that this bubble measured
over nine feet in circumference! Phil
followed up this feat of Harry'S by
launching from the large hoop round
bubble measuring fully six feet in cir
cumfprence, Compare this giant in
size with the bubbles you have been
used to blowing from clay pipes. AS
one Bubbler hilarously remarked, this
was more like balloon show than a
bubble show" Not the least noticeable
fact was that the bubbles often meas
ured twice the diameter of the rings
from which they We're thrown. Re
makable, too, was the ease with which
both boys picked up the films with
their hoops. These hoops. measuring
from 80 to "a inches in di-
ametcr, when thus filmed over flashed
like disks OF waving gold. Phil slowly
revoived one of these golden disks up
on the tips of his fingers. and mo-
ment later the audience We're enthus-
iastically applauding another of our
maSicians' startling surprise. Here
We're two large elongated bubbles,
spTinging from the same film, attached
to each other in the center, and yet
travelling in opposite directions.
Phil took Il large hoop, and dipping 1t
in one of the great pans. withdrew
it covered by film. Then he held the
lustrous disk well up in front of him,
and started to blow.
Starting from the hoop first slowly,
and then almost shooting forth, was
an ever moving. eyer-lengtlening,
ever-varying, twisting, writhing shape
such n form in fact, as might have
found existence in the Imagination of
Edgar Allan Poe. When Phil and
Harry, together with their assistants,
gave themselves up fully to this eX.
hioition of monsters, the stage looked
as though peopled by one of the hob
goblin races Sometimes great buD-
bles, five feet IN circumference, wouiu
snap off the end of these soap-bubble
dragons, and sometimes q number or
very small ones. Inlength they varied
from two to eight feet-hatis is measure

windings and twistings have been
taken into consideration, they would
have been found far longer.

DEMOCRATIC EXPANSION

The Republican newspapers have
been doing the people real service by
publication of a map sent out by some
one of the imperialist committees
very likely the Cuban annexation jun
ia of Washington-which map shows
how the United States has grown and
enlarged by Democratic expansion.
Louisiana is marked Democratic e1-
pansion," and so is all Of California,
Texas, Oregon, the Gadsden purchase
and Florida.
Cuba is also included in the list 1t
Is an instructive map. II we had one
Of them we would publish it Every
voter ought to see q copy and study 1t
carefully. By this map it is shown that
the present great area Of the United
States of America is due entirely to
Democratic expansion" save and
alone the original thirteen states and
Alaska. This is a record which the
Republican party dare not point to
with pride" There was no "Repub-
lican expansion" known until McKin-
ley got in his work. The growth of
the United States so as to cover large
part Of the continent and include
homogeneous states working togeth-
er in harmony has been due to the
Democratic party.
We are glad that the Republicans
have called attention to the fact that
the expansion we have known before
has practically all been Democratic
expansion" This is point We have
been making all along. but the Re
publicans refuze to acknowledge it.
President Schurman of the first Phil
ippine peace commission, acknowl-
edged it. He was among the first
Republicans to declare that the expan-
sion under this administration differs
in every essential from the expansion
of the Louisiana purchase. Then Sec
retary Root stated the distinction
plainly. ,,.,....s..
Since then the administration has
acted entirely upon the theory that
expansion which includes islands in
distant seas is entirely unlike the ex-
Eansion which the Democratic party
brought about In fact, every thing
has been done to make it evident to all
that the Republican expansion" of
1899 is entirely different from the
Democratic expansion" which has
made ours a great and glorious nation.
The truth is that Democratic ez-
pansion" is in accord with the spirit
of our institutions, while Republican
expansion" or imperialism, is along
the lines of European colonization.-
