The Parkersburg Journal is an
able and faithful party organ versed
in all tue ways of making it's own
party appear to be custodian of the
political virtues, and the opposing
one the embodiment of all TIE polit
ical evils, but we believe it will fail
in it's commendable effort to quiet
the strife and turbulence in It's par
ty ranks. 1t says; Men filled with
an unquenchable hungering and
thirsting for the spells of office can
not be pacified with anything except
the qualification of their desires, and
when their awful appetite for office
is not appeased, they seek the next
best thing and that is revenge which
is said to be mighty sweet. Greed
for office is the internal and disor-
ganizing enemy of majority party
and West Virginia Republicans
seem to have more than their full
share of that all deyouring appetite.
This unappeasable hunger for office
wrecked the Democratic organiza-
ton in this state, and broke it into
warning factions and the Republican
ship seems to be steering towards
the same rock.

Ways to Serve Pears.

Washington Star.
The cultivated pear is counted one of the
best fruits of the temperate zone. While at
least thousand varieties have been pro-
duced, but comparatively few are well
known to the housekeeper.
In the cultivation Of the pear the aim is
to conserve the proportion of sugar and the
delicacy of the aroma. -,
The pear is less acid and cellulose than
the apple, and a ripe pear should melt in
the mouth like a mellow peach. Pears do
not keep as well as apples. though there are
some kinds, summer pears, which can
scarcely be said to be well ripened until
they have been gathered from the tree and
kept covered with flannel on the floor of a
darkened room or in dark closet. They
then become mellow and rich and their di-
gestion is not at all dficult the cell walls
being more easily broken up than In the
half mature or imperfectly ripened fruit
Pears of the best quality, when perfectly
ripe are better suited for being eaten raw
than apples, their flesh being much softer.
But pears are not so cheap or generally
useful in cooking the apple, and conse-
quently the housekeeper does not know
that there are many delightful ways of
preparing them for present use on the
table
Ripe Pears with Cream.-Ths is a deli
cious breakfast dish and a pleasant change
served with good brown bread and butter
for the fruit and cereal course. The pears
must be mellow, ripe and of fine flavor.
Pare and slice them thin and sprinkle
lightly with powdered sugar. Have them
chilled and when cold heap whipped cream
on top of each dish.
Compete of Pears.-Cut fine large pears in
half, pare remove cores, but not stems.
Make a rich syrup as for preserving; add a
slice or two of lemon, and when Ii bOils up
put in the pears and cook very gently until
tender. Take them up carefully, arrange in
pyramid on a glass dish and cover with
very firm apple jelly: let get cold, and hav-
ing boiled down the syrup until very thick,
pour it around the pears cold.
Pear Meringue.-Pare and carefully re-
move the cores from fine large pears; steam
them until tender, then arrange them in a
deep dish; sift powdered sugar over them,
squeeze a little lemon juice over them,
and cover with meringue, heaped up
roughly. Set In the oven to color a delicate
brown. Eat hot or cold.
Baked Pears.-Take larger pears than
will answer for stewing, selecting those of
uniform size. Arrange them in deep bak-
| ing dish, stem ends up mix a half cup of
sugar with a cup of boiling water and stir
until dissolved. Cover closely with an in
verted dish and bake slowly until they are
tender, but do not lose their shape. Basic
them frequently with the syrup. Serve with
cream
Stuffed Pears-Carefully remove the
| cores from good-sized baking pears, pare
| or not, as you choose; remove seeds from
| dates, roll each date small enough to fit in
/ slowly until soft, being careful to retain
| their shape. Place in glass dish and sur
| round with rather thick, boiled custard
| decorated with meringue made of whites
of the eggs and powdered sugar. Serve
| with sweet waters.

MOTTO ascertain her facts before allowing
her feelings to run away with her, she
would have fixed the responsibility where
II belongs and attacked the advertisers
instead of attacking a group of men whom
they had chosen to use for advertising pur
poses. If this lady had read the newspa-
pers-and all speakers ought to read the
newspapers for the sake Of their audiences
she would have known that several In
stances of this misuse of the faces of pri-
vate persons lately have been widely dis
cussed; and the Court of Appeals of this
State has decided that a person whose por-
trait is used in this way has no redress.
Several ladies of position and character,
who shrink from publicity, and are out
ragged by the use to which their portraits
have been put without their consent, have
protested in vain. 1t would be second
outrage to mention these women by name
and hold them up as lacking In a sense of
uthNdNy Ills Is precisely
what the speaker before the Kings County
Woman's Christian Temperance Union con-
vention did. Ii was an objectionable thing
to do on the part of a person who uses the
platform.
The Outlook comments on this incident
because IL affords striking illustra ton of
the lack of responsibility among a great
many speakers and writer's; of the substi-
tuition of easy emotion for careful exami-
nation; and of that kind of injudicious and
unlntelllgent attack which harms the
cause for which it is made. All writer's
and speakers of any sense of responsibility
understand that no man or woman ought
to be attacked for any reported utterances
until the authenticity and correctness of
the report nave been ascertained. Society
must cooperate In the protection of its
members against the abuses of publicity
and the widespread lack OF accuracy in
newspaper reports. When the secretary
of the Kings County Woman's Christian
Temperance Union receives the replies
which her protest will undoubtedly call
out 1T is to be hoped that she will cali upon
the speaker to make apology as publicly

Little Lessons
in Economy

Sandwiches are fast taking the place or
cakes, pastry and other less wholesome
food preparations which have been the
prominent feature of quick and ngnt
lunches But the sandwich of to-day Is
constructed on very different lines from
the lunch or restaurant sandwich OF the
past. the modern affair being quite SUD-
stantial little repast in condensed and con-
yenient form. 1t may be Of the nature OF
meat and vegetable dish, or more nearly
resembling a sweetmeat, when fruits and
nuts are used for filling. A glass of rich
milk with a dainty salad sandwich is very
satisfying. and decidedly more wholesome
for those whose employment keeps them
indoors and necessitates their leading the
greater part of their time a sedentary life
than pie, cake and heavy buildings. Light
as this faring seems to be. sandwich may
constitute a very hearty" lunch when
composed of several foods containing the
necessary food elements. Fancy and taste
may run riot in the selection and combna-
ton of materials, so long as attention is
given to the. choice of those which blend
suitably and fit the occasion and appetite.
Hot Cheese Sandwiehes-These are par
ticularly nice for Sunday night supper. and
may constitute the only hot dish of the
meal. Slice the bread very thin and cut it
into rounds with large biscuit cutter Put
a thick layer of grated cheese between the
two rounds, sprinkling it with salt, little
cayenne or Worcestershire sauce Press
the slices closely together and toast them
delicate brown. Serve with a salad.
Cucumber Salad Sandwich-Add two
tablespoonfuls of dry whipped cream to
half cup of thick mayonnaise; mix with
level teaspoonful of grated horseradish
and two finely chopped cucumbers. Spread
thin slices of bread, cut in squares, with
this mixture, then with a thin layer of fine
ly-chopped rare beef; cover with more
dressing, then with the second slice of
bread.
Nut Sandwiches-Use English walnuts.
meats very fine and mix with enough cream
cheese to make nice moist paste; season
with salt and cayenne. or salt and little

| bread that has been lightly buttered.
Grape Standardization these use the

sharp knife cut them lengthwise and scrape
out the seeds. Slice nice sour apples and
crisp tender celery very thin; mix with
plain French dressing and spread on rounds
| of entire wheat white bread cut very
| thin and slightly buttered.
Creole Sandwiches-Take large sweet
green bell peppers; remove the seeds and
| the hard part and mince fine; mix with a
| very stiff mayonnaise and thick cold to-

salt and few drops of onion Juice Place
dry crisp lettuce leaves on slices of buttered

stylish fabrics for street gowns Velvet

quite all silk and in all colors, or spotted,
plain and striped. Brown, green. blue and
an occasional pinkish red, with some yell
low in 1t, are the more stylish colors.
Braids and cords are just now the trim

there are other trimmings, but these two
garnitures rarely are absent altogether.

The Fashionable Dinner.

Philadelphia Press
The custom of devoting less time to din
ing which has been introduced of late
among fashionable folk seems to give gen.
eral satisfaction. 1t is said that society
is indebted to his Brittanic Majesty for
this reform. 1t is his express wish that
at houses where he dimes the dinner should
be served quickly, and never last longer
than an hour. AS the smart sets of Amer
lea have long modelled their manners and
adopted their usages from the Marlborough
House set, the coterie led by Edward VII
when he was Prince of Wales, and from a
purely fashionable standpoint the upper
crust of England's society life, short din
ners have become the fashion. Even the
most ceremonious dinners are arranged to
be over In an hour.
But if il is noticeable that at smart
houses the menu is decidedly shorter than
ii was a year or so ago it is also true that
what they lose in quantity they gain in
quality. The cookery to-day in American
houses is noted for its delicacy and perfec-
ton, and is as good as can be found in
Paris, ST. Petersburg or London.
Novelty is one of the things needful in
the fashionable dinner Of to-day. In order
to arrive at it the clever planner of a din
ner will frequently have recourse to some
old-fashioned DISH by many deemed home
ly fare which he will have prepared with
consummate skill, rechristened in cuisine
French, and sent up as one of the browning
triumphs of a smart feast. AS an example
of this, at the house of one of the best
dinner givers at Newport. commonplace ba-
con and beans appeared as Feves de Ma
rails a IEcarlate, and was voted one of the
daintiest dishes Of very excellent DINNER.

Small dinners, in point of numbers Of
guests, have long been considered smart
but during the past season at Newport and
Bar Harbor dinners, at which large num-
bers were present, even running up to 100
guests, were quite au fait In nearly every
case round tables were used, so that the
formal table d'hote effect of long, large
dinner table was avoided. These tables
were frequently arranged around a center
table, at which the host, hostess and guests
of honor were seated, or around a bank of
foliage and flowers, which formed part of
the decorations of the ROOM
In the decoration of the tables used
simple garlands of blossoms. ranging from
the commonplace garden flowers TO the
rarest orchids, arranged in handsome silver
vases. not standing too high. Perfect art
rather than an elaborate display Is sought
after. The jisapproval of King Edward
of excessive extravaganza in floral decora-
ton of the dinner table is said also to have
brought about this reform in dinner giving
