The "Petticoat Insurrection.r

Perhaps the first 'woman's rights"
movement in America was connect
ed with the early history of the set
Element of Louisiana, for there early
in the century occurred the famous
"petticoat instruction" The French
girls who had come to settle in the
country under allurements which
proved deceptive were particularly
indignant at being fed upon corn.
Bienville thus reports the matter in
one of his dispatches: "The males
in the colony begin, through habit,
to be reconciled to corn as an article
of nourishment, but the females, who
are mostly Parisians, have for this
kind of food logged aversion, which
has not yet been subdued. Hence,
they inveigh bitterly against his

say, has enticed them away from

THE TIME FOR SPLIT PEAS.
Dishes Of Them That Are Nearly as
NOurishing az Meat and Are
Not So Expensive.
Peas pudding hot, peas pudding cold.
Peas pudding In the pot nine days old.

pQAu4llS III the put nine c. Oh.
This rhyme, accompanied by slap
ping of hands, is familiar game to
most young Americans, but few of
them know the dish, which is an old
English one. This is the recipe:
Put a pint and half of split peas
in water over night, with a kind of
carbonate of soda. Before boiling re-
move any of the peas that float. Boil
the peas until tender with a little salt
ind any desired flavor, a bit of lemon
peel, garlic thyme, or a little of all
three. Drain and rub them through
colander. When smooth, add two
ounces of butter, dash of pepper and
two eggs well beaten. Flour a pud
ding cloth or steamer, turn in the
pudding and boil for an hour. Finely
chopped bacon may be added to the
pudding if desired. AS bacon and split
peas may be kept on hand, this pud-
ling makes a good dinner when emer-
gencies arise, says the Kansas City
Star.
An excellent winter salad may be
made with either dried Lima beans or
peas. Soak until they are very soft,
and boil in sailed water until tender,
but not mushy. Drain and cool
Squeeze over the beans or peas the
juice of an onion and add one or two
bits from a can of tomatoes, which
may be emptied and saved for another
occasion. When tomato is used a
pinch of dried thyme gives delicious
Favor. Serve with French or a sour
cream dressing.
A delicious dish sold in vegetarian
restaurants, usually under the name
of outlets or vegetarian beefsteak, is
made as follows:
This is really a hearty meal in itself.
Soak a quart of split peas over night
In large kettle. Pour off the water
and rinse; cover with three pints of
water and put on the fire, with spoon
full each of salt and sugar and two
rloves of garlic. Don't omit the gar
lie. Remember the bane of American
cookery is lack Of flavor. If you have
n ham bone or a chicken bone to put in,
so much the better. Let the soup sim
mer for several hours on the back of
the stove. Then add one or two cups
of mill{Sa bit of butter and a dash of
black pepper and it is ready to serve.
A delicious basket dish is made by
rubbing a large bake dish with a Glove
of garlic. Turn into this pint of split
peas soaked until soft. Chop a large
onion very fine and spread over the
top of the peas with pepper and salt.
If you have left over gravy or stock
pour it over the mixture. If not, cover
with water, spreading over all bacon
cut into the thinnest possible slices.
Bake in the oven for two hours and
add little boiling water if the peas
get too dry. This will be found a
great improvement on baked beans.
As split peas are sold as low as four
cents a quart, these dishes will be
found very economical, with potatoes
at eight cents.

QUAILS DISAPPEARED
Southern Birds Used to Stock Long
Island Preserves Vanish.

Iand-AII Theories Advanced
Are Unsatisfactory.

A sportsman who lately returned
from quail-shooting trip on Long Is
land brought up the subject of stock
ing northern preserves with quail
shipped from the south and southwest.
The man is a member of club that
has 2, lease on about 1900 acres of land
so miles out on the island, for shooting
purposes, says the New York Times.
He said:
"Our club has made practice of put
ting out 50 pairs Of quail each spring.
These birds are supplied by dealers in
the south and southwest, and while
thew are smaller and of somewhat diff
ferent coloring than the native Long
Island quail they are pretty good game
birds.
"They seem TO breed all tight and ex-
perience no great TROUBLED in raising
their broods, for during the summer
and early fall the club receives many
encouraging reports from the resident
farmers as to their progress.
"Whv. even Is late as three weeks be-
fore the opening of the shooting sea-
son-on November IL received word
from the farmer who usually acts as
my guide telling me that a great num-
Der of coveys of these planted birds
had been reported on our grounds and
that the prospect of sport with them
was promising.
"But what was the result? Out Of THE
so birds in my string for the four days
hunt only eight were of the imported
variety. Similar reports come from
other club members.
"How to account for it at the begin
ming Of the season I do not know. The
weather there is mild and the cover on
our grounds is particularly good. If
the Disappearance occurred at the end
of the season it might be attributed to
their inability to survive the rather Sc
we're winters of Long Island. ThAare

the fact of their southern extraction
would argue against their withstand
ing the same climatic conditions as the
native birds. We do not expect it of
them.
"What becomes of the most of them
after they attain full size and before
the open season is certainly a mystery.
We thought for the first few seasons
that they had probably strayed from
our preserves to a better feeding
ground, but inquiries brought replies
stating that to a greater or less extent
the same conditions prevailed over the
entire shooting area of the island.
migration has been put forward as
a possible solution, but it hardly seems
probable, for, while that may be plausi-
bic on the mainland, it doesn't seem 10
fit this case, considering the geograph-
ical situation of Long Island, with
great bodies of water on its eastern,
northern and southern sides and the
borough of Brooklyn on the western
end. And while the length of fight of
the quail is a mooted subject, almost
everyone with any pretense of author
itv puts it at considerable less than a |
mile.
"But the fact remains that they dis
appear. Where they go or how they go
know not Suffice it TO say that in the
future one Long Island gun club will
confne itself to northern quails for
stocking purposes"

FRANCE IN NEED vi ALLIES.
The Nations Military Resources De-
cIared by Col. Picquart to Be
About Exhausted.

Col. Picquart, who was prominent
in the defense of Capt. Dreyfus, is
publishing in the Grande Revue
series of articles on the military posi-
ton of France. He says France has
come to the end of her military re-
sources, whereas Germany has ample
resources with which to increase her
strength. France, therefore, must
modify her system, and he suggests
various reforms, says a recent report
from Paris.
Then, discussing the question of
Frances alliances, the colonel replies
to articles in the National Review He
declares himself in favor of an alE-
ance with Germany, which would i'm
ply a definite Remuneration of Alsace
and Lorraine.
A French alliance with Great Brit
ain and Italy, however, would, he
claims, procure military advantages
of the first order, because it would
give France complete naval freedom
in war with Germany, while if the
dllldHce pIONlu-u 4OI lHS dSOi'C w
operation of Great Britain, the adj
vantages would be incalculable. The
allied fleets would command the seas,
Germany's food supplies would be
cut off and Germany could not sus-
tain prolonged struggle.
Col. Picquart predicts that the
French feeling against Great Britain
on account of the Fashoda incident
and the South African war will die
out and, referring to the criticisms
of the value of the British army, he
says that when the South African
war is concluded Great Britain will
have at her disposal great number
of seasoned troops, with which to re-
constitute the British military forces.

The character of this book. by Clifford
Howard, is not clearly indicated by the
main title, a subtitle characterizing 1t as
"A Life of Christ" 1t is a new treatment
Of an old subject. The life of Christ has
been written from the point of view of the
Jew and of the gentle, of the scholar, the
devotee and the theologian; it has been
written to support some favorite doctrine
and again with the purpose of seeking the
simple truth. This one pOrtrays Christ as
the man, and, while never overlooking His
divinity, it sets forth His earthly career
in the form of a narrative recording His
growth, His struggles and His achieve
ments. 1t is not a complete life of Christ
but the main incidents in His earthly ca
reer from His birth to His death are
grouped and linked together in such a way
as to make a complete and harmonious
story. While it follows the scriptural rec
ords closely as to facts, the language is
modern. and considerable liberty is taken
in simplifying the incidents. The author
has succeeded in making a vivid narrative
from a new point of view. The book is
handsomely illustrated and is published in
attractive form by L. c. Page q Co, Bos-

Cecil Rhodes.

The world has heard a great deal dur
ing the last few years of Mr.. Cecil Rhodes,
the famous British Spectator, promoter
politician and empire-bulder of South Al
RIGA. He is typical nineteenth or TWEEN

nishes material for biography which, be-
sides being interesting in itself, throws
light on many interesting events. II Is
entitled Cecil Rhodes: The Study OF a
Career" and it's author is Mr.. Howard
Hensman an Englishman, who shows the
evident qualifications of having MADE a
thorough study of his subject. In the
cneuinR charters of the book learns
that MIR. Rhodes's father was vicar of a
parish church in England and Cecil was
brought up IN quiet, rehglous Amos

AS a boy he was studious and Dooklsh,
though giving evidences of the strong char
acter and iron will that were TO make him
famous i'm later life. After receiving a
good grammar-schOol education and be
fore entering the university as was MS
intention, his delicate health required a
long sea voyage, and he went to South
Africa to visit an elder brother who had
settled there. Cecil Rhodes landed in
South Africa in September, 1870, when sew
enteen wears old. The rest of the book
deals with the conditions i'm Africa as they
were at that time, with Mr.. Rhodes en-
trance into business, his gold-mlne and
diamond-mine speculations, MS poIitlcal
experiences and his services in extending
or trying to extend British empire IheSe
are interesting phases or remarkaDle
career and they are well handled. Full
accounts are given of the celebrated Jami-
son raid and of other events preceding
the commencement of the present war, as
far as Rhodes was connected with them.
His vast schemes of private enterprise
and political progress are also portrayed
in an interesting manner. The author has
done his work well and produced an in
