HOUSEKEEPING LORE.
A Variety of Domestic Information
Tor the help of the Busy
Housewife.

If the white wooden shawl has be-
come soiled, dip it into a bath OF
cornmeal and rub it thoroughly.
One-half cupful of sweet cream is
added by certain New England
housewives to the baked beans pot
about half hour before it is taken
from the oven.
Two or three tablespoonful of
strong but delicately favored tea
are said to enhance the delights Of
apple pie, says the Boston Budget.
Preserved shredded pineapples,
peaches cut in dice and preserved
cherries with the pits removed make
a toothsome combination for a fruit
ice. Make a custard of one quart of
cream, the yolks of six eggs and 1h
eupfuls of sugar. When it is cold
turn the custard into a freezer and
turn the dasher until it is about half
frozen. Then add the fruit and pack.
Let it stand two or three hours.
To make pistachio ice cream

the fire, add the nuts, and when 1T
is cold press the mixture through a
sieve, and freeze.
There is growing tendency
among cooks who think for them

where meat is used.

CUBA TO CHANGE KINGS.
LIT In Proposed to DethrOne Sugar and
Place Cotton Upon the Throne
of Commerce.

Too much space cannot be devoted
to what is sure to become a very
important industry in Cuba, name
ly, the raising of cotton. Sugar has
been called the king of Cuba, but
there is reason to believe that with
the development of the cotton indus
try here King Sugar will soon be de-
throned and King Cotton will reign
in his stead. says the Havana Post.
There is every reason why s the he-Peo;;-
pie should hail with Joy the advent
of the new ruler. King Sugar has
been a hard taskmaster. Those who
were subject to him were either rich
or were sunk in the lowest poverty.
No one could afford to grow cane in
Cuba unless he could do so on large
scale. This resulted in the great
sugar plantations here, where the
owners were small kings and those
under them little better than slaves.
With King Cotton all is different.
With him as ruler the man with but
little or no money can secure a few
acres of land on shares i need be,
and with the assistance of two boys
can cultivate, raise and gather crop
in six months which will give him
good return for his time spent, and
enable him with his second crop to
begin the purchase of his own land.
With King Cotton as our ruler
such a thing as reciprocity will not
bother our heads, as we will have a
product for which there is always a
demand and small chance for an
Overproduction.
All hail to King Cotton!

SKILL IN WASHING.
An Accomplishing That Is Worth
Learning, If Only for Econ
omy's Sake.

Washing is an art, and needs to be
learned as well as anything else. Ev-
erybody can wash after a fashion,
but not everybody can so turn out
handkerchiefs, silk and lace blouses
and ties, and other washable belong
ings that a professional lauadress
would not scorn to own them as her
work. 1t is emphatically an accom-
plishment worth learning, if only for
the sake of reducing ones laundry
bill, says the London Express.
Dissolved soap is a necessity, and
is made by finely shredding quarter
of a pound of yellow soap into one
quart of water, and boiling it till dis
solved. A quantity can be made at
one time and kept for use when re-
quired. When washing flannel and
wooden goods never rub or twist
them. Squeeze them about in tepid
lather, to which (for white fannels)
little ammonia is added. Wash
thoroughly on both sides, rinse care
fully, shake and dry in the air, not
in the sun. Iron when nearly dry

White silk blouses, ties and hand
kerchiefs are all washed in the same
way. First steep them in cool water,
with little borax added, wash in
lather of warm water and dissolved
soap, rinse well, pass through slight

pass through the wringer and iron
on the wrong side when nearly dry
with a cool iron. A little mentha-
lated spirit added to the last rinsing
water gives a desirable gloss. A des-
sert spoonful to a pint of water is
ample. For colored silk, do not steep
it in borax water or pass it through
blued water. If you fear the color
will run, steep it in salt and water
for a short time, but be careful to
rinse all the salt out before washing.

ENJOYS LIFE IN WAVES.
How HoIbein, the Great Swimmer,
oiled, Fed and Equipped
While AdOat.

By way of preliminary to his swim
across the channel, Holbein essayed
recently to lower the record created
by Inflated Capt Webb for the swim
between Dover and Ramsgate, dis
tancsA.of 20 miles if q direct course
could be followed, but probably not
less than five and twenty allowing
for the deviation caused by contrary
tides and currents.
The swimmer failed by some four
miles, the bad weather and the rae
ing tide against him making any at
tempt to reach Ramsgate futile. de
refused, however, to leave the water
until he had swan back to Deal, and
SO completed the exact distance be-
tween the COATS of England and
France. Had the conditions re-
manned favorable there is no doubt
that he would have beaten the ex'
listing time of so hours by over 2A
hours.
Profiting by the experience gained
last year, when his plucky attempt
to swim the channel came so near
accomplishment, Mr.. Holbein Is Wen

LEGISLATION FOR GUAM
The Administration of Justice in the
Island CnIIs Most Urgently for
Speedy Action.

The navy department will recon-
mend that congress enact some legis-
lation which will clear up the anom-
alous situation which at present ex-
lists on the island of Guam. Acting
Secretary of the Navy Darling, UNI
der whose supervision the govern
ment of that island is carried on,
is giving the situation of affairs
there a great deal of consideration,
but as yet has arrived at no definite
conclusions concerning the recon-
mendation which he will make, says
the Washington Star.
The administration of justice is
one Of the things which calls most
urgently for action. 1t is possible
that way out of the difficulty
might be found by extending over
the island the provisions of the act
which extends the federal statutes
over the Guano islands and gives the
United States court, into whose
jurisdiction an offender from those
islands is first brought, jurisdiction
over his case. This statute was
tested in the supreme court and held
to be constitutional. If the provi-
sions of the statute were extended
to Guam petty offenses could be
tried there in the existing court and
graver crimes, including those for
which capital punishment is pre-
scribed, could be tried in any Unit
ed States court into the jurisdiction
Of which an offender was brought.
Legislative action is also necessary
to insure the stability Of the tariff
laws now in force on the island.
This tariff was created by an execu'
tive order of President Mckinley,
and, according to the decision in the
insular cases. is unconstitutional.
The receipts from customs dues have
made the island self-sustaining, but
unless legislation is enacted by con.
gress a test case could be brought
in a United States court, which
would nullify the present tariff and
thus destroy the revenues of the is.
land. Commander Schroeder doubt
less will be consulted before the final
recommendation to congress, re-
garding what is needed in the way OF
legislation, are drawn.

tude of bamboo nipa matched huts for
the masses of the people, who appar-
emily thrive by doing nothing. To the
uninitiated it is a mystery how the
great majority Of the natives. gain a
living, only to be explained by the fact
that such living as satisfies them
costs very little. and the further fact
that the rice fields are most of them
cut up into small patches, which are
rented out for cropping to a multitude
Of tenants.
The Province of Pampanga is espe-
cially rich in cane fields, and there are
districts not reached by the road where
great quantities of sugar go to waste
annually for want Of transportation,
or where an immense increase in the
product would follow the construction
of railroad to carry it to market. IN
the bordering mountains there are
dense forests of the finest Of tropical
woods, which can only be gotten out
by means of railroad, since logging
by water is scarcely practicable with
such heavy timber. There are also
coffee, tobacco and chocolate districts

Emma r. Ross, writing from Manila
for the Boston Transcript, had a
singular experience one day. A ma

plump little brown baby astride her
hip. 1t looked up and giggled and
clapped its hands at the white face
of the lady at the window, and the
lady smiled back. Next day the
woman appeared, and with much
voluble Spanish and many gestures
made the lady understand that tie
baby had not slept all night, and the
doctor had told her to bring it to the
sonora and ask her to touch its fore
head and breast with her finger
moistened with her saliva, for the
baby could never sleep unless she
did. What would you have done?
Yielded to a superstition you did
not believe in, or MORALLY offended
an ignorant native woman with re-
suits likely to be international? The
lady did as she was asked, but more
than ever in her life. She
said she felt, like Lady Macbeth, as
