BOOKS OF PRESENT
SPRING SEASON.

Authors over in England whose names are
as familiar to American readers as native
writer's, are not much in evidence this
spring, according to Mr.. N. L. Alden, Lon
don correspondent of the New York Times.
The spring announcements seem to me
singularly devoid of interest. writes Mr..
Alden. kipling, Meredith. Hardy, Conrad,
Hope. Weyman and Doyle apparently have
nothing new to offer us. Even Hall Game
and Marie Corelli maintain an unwonted
silence, and Mr.. Crockett fails to publish
his quarterly novel,.

HINTS FOR CAKE BAKERS.
A Few Things 1t VIII Be Well to Zee
Carefu1ly in Mind.

Carefully in Mind.
When making cakes, have eggs and dishes
cool, and II possible do your beating and
mixing In a cool room.
The -four should always be sifted before
measured. The best granulated sugar
should be used unless the recipe calls spe-
cially for powdered or dark. moist sugar.
Eggs are generally beaten separately; the
yolks until they become frothy and begin
to thicker and the whites until they are
frothy and stiff enough to remain on the
dish when inverted. but not until they begin
to separate. A tiny pinch of salt may be
added to the whites to tougher them, SO
they will hold the air more readily; but
this is not necessary unless the eggs are
not quite fresh and the whites thin. When

One Of the signs Of the times that. with

BUTTERFLIES FOR THE PARKS.
Scheme to Introduce Their in LOndOr
Is Cordially Approved.

The proposal to introduce butterflies into
the London parks sounds attractive. I can
imagine nothing more delightful than to see
red admirals, peacocks and tortoise shells
futtering ayly round this colorless town.
But the picture has its dark side. Before
the butterfly we must have the hairy cater
pillar, which can only be nourished on ugly
locking weeds, and has a trick OF dropping
from a height on to the human neck when
the human, driving in a carriage beneath
the trees, least expects 1t. Still, the delight
of having London bright with gaudy and
harmless butterflies would far outweigh
this slight disadvantage.

Almost all kinds of savory butter can be

STRIKE AMONG
THE SUPERS

There was non-union jury and a
non union group of spectators made up
from the supers at the play at Suttons
new theater last night.
1t was all because Mr.. Frawley de-
cided that he could do business on the
super engagements by himself.
1.-THE Only Way" was on, and from
last night to a later period Mr.. Frawley
will confine himself to the deserving
rendition of his play and let the people
of the undercast alone.
There were Is supers engaged to rep.
resent the jury and the spectators in
the great trial. Each man wanted so
cents for his contribution to the per-
formance, and the chief super who die
all the hiring hacked up the demand.
Fifteen men at so cents each meant
$750-or a couple of cold bottles. This
didn't suit the august impersOnatOr,
and Immediately he declared war.
"I'll hire you fellows for nothing"
quoth Frawley.
d. if you do" quoth the supers-
and Immediately a large strike was de-
chred.
Because of this the jury and the court
spectators We're more insipid than usual,
and there We're men who filled the
gallery to make remarks about supers
who wouldn't demand pay for their
services.

CHINKS PASS THE HAT
TO FIGHT GEARY LAW
Collection Is Being Taken Up by Mon
golians Who Wish to See the Immi-
grafton Latch String Hanging Out
for Their Countrymen-No Chance
to Escape the Assessment.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press.)
San Francisco, Nov. 30.-The Chinese
are preparing to make a vigorous fight
against the re-enactment Of the Geary
Exclusion law. A proclamation has
been issued by the Chinese Six COM
panies, requiring every Chinese in the
United States to contribute the sum of
81, the sum thus raised to be used in
the effort to defeat exclusion.
In order to compel prompt payment
Of the assessment the proclamation
states if payment Is not made within
one month the amount exacted will be
doubled and delinquents who fail to pay
within two months will have their as
sessment doubled once more.
Lest some should still seek to evade
the enforced contribution the proclama-
ton states that Chinese desiring to re-
turn to China will be compelled to ex-
hibit receipt showing they have made
payment, and in default Of such receipt
they will be fined SO.
The proclamation has been posted In
Chinatown and is to be distributed all
over the country.

THEY HAVE TO HURRY.
Twelve British Columns Kept on the
Jump Chasing Beers.

Jump Chasing Beers.
(By Associated Press.)
New York, Nov. 3O.-A correspondent
at Pretoria says that in order to cope
with the large number of Beers who keep
in touch with Commandant General
Botha east of the line of blockhouses
from Wilge river to Graylingstad IL
British columns are operating between
the Delagoa and Natal rivers.
In the Western Transvaal the columns
under Lord Methuen, Colonel Kekewich
and Colonel Hicks are sweeping the cOun-
try in conjunction with the forces on the
railway line and the constabulary posts.
It seems, says the correspondent that
the blockhouses are to form the chief
factor in the pacification Of the country.
The new lines of blockhouses will soon
enter the Pretoria Johannesburg district
and free it of the enemy.
The concentration of British columns
south Of the Delagoa railway have with
drawn the troops north of the line, with
the result that the Beers are back again
in that reighborhood where horse sickness
and fever do not prevail and food is plen-
tiful.
Lord Kitchener, says the correspond
ent, has never sufficient troops to carry
out comprehensive operations simultan-
eously north and south of the Delagoa
lines.
