Ridiculous Inventions.

If the credulity of Protestants with
regard to the practices attributed to
Catholics were not often lamentable in
its results, it would be source of
much genuine amusement, says the
Liverpool Catholic Times. At the pres
emit moment by way Of defending the
blasphemous insult to Catholics con-
tanned in the Kings Oath, some Of the
protestant controversialists Of the per-
fectly unscrupulous kind are retailing
all sorts Of ridiculous inventions. A
correspondent sends us cutting from
the Bolton Evening News" in which
is reproduced a letter from the "Glas-
gov Herald" In this document the
curse in Sterne's well-known novel
"Tristram Shandy" is given as zone
Of the authorized curses to be pro-
nounced by the Romish priests on
heretics." More wonderful still, the
Pope, we are told annually excommu-
nicates and mathematics with solcm-
nifty "all Hussites, Wyclifiites, Luthc-
rams, Zwinglians, Calvinists, Anabap-
lists, Huguenots, Trinitarians, and
apostates from the Faith and all other
heretics." At the end of this declara-
ton, which he always makes ION the
Thursday before Good Friday" the
Pope, in order to impart more dreadful
effect to the anathema, "hurls blaz-
ing torch into the Palace Court" The
inventive power of the fabricator of
this story can only be described as
blazing; it is sure to make his fortune.

Deceiving Its Own People.

Why does the government not dare
to make known today the plain facts
of the military situation? They talk
of guerrilla warfare" of desperate
brigands, of uncivilized irregularities;
they distort language and invent fa-
bles to blind the nation to the truth
that it is dealing with a national re-
sistance and spending it's life-blood and
energy in the pursuit of an enterprise
as futile as it is Infamous, says the
London Spectator.
There is one class Of facts on which
the government are particularly to be
blamed for Withholding the truth. We
have been assured again and again that
the women and children in the camps
were happy and well provided for, and
that they were free to leave the camps
at their pleasure. The second of these
statements was easily proved to be
false. Instances occurred of the arrest
of women who tried to escape by
armed sentinels, and applications or
permission to remove women from the
camps to the houses of their friends in
Cape Colony were refused on military
grounds.
The history Of the other assurance is
within the recollection of our readers.
We were first of all told the women
were we'll cared for. We were then
told that a discriminating standard of
rations was in force to distinguish the
wives Of surrendered from the wives
Of fighting Beers. We We're then as
sured again that the women were all

The increasing public business and the

"Autumn Leaves

They brought a bunch of autumn leaves
All tinged with red and gold;
They told me they came from one knew
In the dear, dead days Of old.
/ took them, and by the fires warm glow
I turned them DER and DER;
What tide Of memories they brought to me
OF days that could come no more.
In fancy's dream was carried back
To summer time-long ago
When the future vision of fairy land was
And life all a-glow.
The days passed all too soon for me,
With the winds through the woodlands signing;
The autumn leaves We're falling fast,
For the summer day was dying.
From this dream, too, soon to wake,
When the leaves had turned to red,
The Goodbye came, 1t had to be,
For the summer day was dead
&c. in fancy's flight, these beautiful leaves,
All tinged with red and gold
Have carried me back to the one knew
In the dear. dead days of old.

DELICIOUS SPONGE CAKE

Results.
Written for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star.
The following delicious sponge cake may
be tossed together in a few minutes and
used in various ways:
Break the yolks of four eggs into the
mixing bowl, the whites into a fat or deep
vessel. according to the heater used. Stir
or beat the yolks until smooth. Measure
a teacupful (half pint) of very fine granu-
lated sugar; powdered sugar will give
toughness, while the coarse-grained kind
spells the velvety texture. Put half this
sugar in the yolks and beat again until the
grains disappear-a minute or two of faith
full mixing does this. Next add a large
tablespoonful of cold water and the finely
grated peel of an orange or lemon. The
juice Of the orange, If sweet, may be used
instead of water, and a wee pinch of bak-
ing soda be used instead of baking powder
with the lemon juice when that flavor is
preferred.
With a good whsk or heater, after
pinch of salt has been added. the egg
whites should come up thoroughly stiffened
in Just one minute. When the whites are
stiff add to them by degrees the remaining
half cup of sugar-a minutes beating again
will cause the grains to disappear. The
whites are now like pun ball, and il
oven, pans and everything Is in readiness

with a small teaspoonful of baking powder,
as this is another sure means Of toughness.
The flour must lie very lightly in the cup,
which must be barely full. Put third Of
the measured -four in the sitter and sprin-
kle over the puff balr' (now a golden yell
low), and with large spoon turn over and
over gently until well blended. Continue
this until the flour is all used. Bake about
twenty minutes in any shaped pan liked,
and the cake should be broken in appetite
ing portions to eat with fruit or other des-
serts Just before putting in the oven sift
about a tablespoonful of the fine granula-
lated sugar on top. This gives delicious
brown. sugary crust; but paper is spread
over at first to prevent scorching. Mind
that the bottom of the oven bakes well.
If too quick put buttered paper in the pan.
This cake may be baked in two small or

filled with sweetened and Favored whipped
cream; or in a shallow pan, and used either

NEW YORK, October II, 1901.
There are so many models in walking
ploaks this season that it is difficult to
predict Just what one will be most favored
by smart women. For visiting and car
yiage use the short mantelet Jackets, made
Of silk, satin and wadded lace, are very
charming, lending to tall, slight wearers
IN air strongly suggestive of Paris and
Partisan makers. All Of which is not with
out foundation, as IN almost every instance
these ruched and laced mantelets, so
grand lady IN stamp, come from the capital
Of fashion. 1t seems too bad that, with
their loose backs and generally furbelowed
look. they are not exactly correct for walk
ing use, for never were there more becom-
ing or delightfully."- feminine wraps.
Among the longer and more solid affairs,
cloaks strictly speaking for walking, there
are some rigs of the ulster variety, which.
though not the equals Of the mantelets in
elegance, are nevertheless very dashing on
the right figure. These, for some reason
known only to their makers, are frequently
called storm cloaks,' title that certainly

have been designed to do away with
superf1uous bulk at the hip quarter. This
week the shops are fairly bursting with
devices for the same purpose, and though
entirely impracticable for the world at
be ignored.
One Of the most beautiful of these petit
coats, invented to promote slenderness, is
built somewhat on the lines of the old-time
hoop skirt. That Is, from a silk belt a
series Of tapes go down the figure In the
skeleton fashion of the old hoops, wide
one crossing them below the knees as sup
port for the belaced fiounces which are to
frou-frou about the feet. The most eX
quisite white lawns and mulls are used for
these jupons, the ornamenting laces match
ing them in delicacy. Belts and skeletons
are made of silk tape, about three inches
violet. White drawers are the only other
covering for the limbs, and, of course,
such gauzy and fantastic under-t rappings
will be reserved by women of taste for
evening wear and no other.
Another slim figure skirt" combines
drawers and petticoat the knee founces
of the pantaloon coming down to skirt
length, and almost as full about each ankle
as an ordinary jupon. These are called
drawer skirts and, to put the fact hut
mildly, they seem to the usual observer as
improper as expensive. The skeleton skirts
are another thing entirely They are too
on the syllabub of fashion-and under them
a thin chemise could be worn without
perceptble sacrifice of slenderness. The
others somehow recall DR.. Mary Walker,
and-well, you just hate the sight of them,
and that's the end Of It, MARY DEAN.

Niagara's Power.

From the Electrical World and Engineer.
AS a matter Of fact, there is an awful
exuberance Of rhetoric over the "destruc-
ton Of Niagara Falls" and those who are
trying to reclaim part of the energy that
has been wasted for years have to endure
no small amount of obloquy. It is, of
course, true that some of this utilization is
unnecessarily and sinfully ugly, but 1t is
not worse than nature often wreaks in
her own domains. OF the later plans for
getting power from Niagara away from
Its finest scenery, it can only be said that
her beauty. In reality, a stiff wind up the
gorge does more to keep the falls dry than
man will be able to do in the next fifty
years, and God Himself in one frost does
more to break down the cliff over which the
river plunges than man can do in thou
sand years. The present work, indeed, by
diverting part of the water, Is tending to
preserve the falls.

Costly Eggsaf

From the New York Evening Post. II
A peculiar fact in collecting birds eggs
is the wide difference in values of eggs of
the same family of birds. For instance,
there is the great family Of hawks. Some
hawks eggs are worth only a few cents
each. and other hawks eggs find ready
sale at So, So and 81 each. 1t makes
500 bill look 4dilapidated to buy complete
set of even western hawks eggs, while
full set of all known hawks eggs costs up
ward of $780, The eggs Of marsh hawn,
a red-backed hawk and cooper hawk may
be bought for 20 cents each, and the broad
winged hawks eggs will bring 81 each the
world over. The eggs Of Swainson's hawk
and the. buff-breasted hawk are worth
81 30 each.
