S10O00,O00, and whose profits were over
S5WO,OD. The London county council pro-
poses to buy out these parties and run the
water works as a city institution.
This would undoubtedly be better for
London in sanitary way and also for its
fire department. This city has ten fires
every day the year through. 1t has more
than $500 fires year, and the fire brigade
is very important part of the metropolis
This now consists of 1900 men, and it is
equipped with seventy steam engines, of
which eight are river engines to protect the
shipping of the Thames. In most of the
towns of England the fire departments are
not as well organized as in our own. and
the machinery here is far behind the times
They Have Better Mails.
There is one thing, however, which I find
much better here than in the United States.
I refer to the postal and telegraph services.
These are under the general government,
and are excellently we'll managed If 1 re-
member correctly our postal service is run
at loss. The English postal service makes
a profit of about $1SO00,0O0 year, and
gives better mails at lower rates. You can
send a letter weighing four ounces to any
part of the united kingdom for a penny or
two cents. and overweight costs half
penny, or one cent, for two ounces. You
can send parcels which weigh as much as
eleven pounds for six cents for the first
pound and two cents for each additional
pound, and the book post is about the same
as ours.
The telegraph service is lower than in
America. The cost of dispatch to any
part of Great Britain and Ireland IS cent
a word. the lowest charge being u cents,
and both address and signature being paid
for. In the general post Office in East
London there is a telegraph room where
800 men are employed receiving and send
ing dispatches, while in the basement there

asked to lease It for nine hundred and
ninety-nine years, and the council is con-
sldering the advisabi!ity of giving them a
lease for ninety-nine years. If it does so
the Americans will have one of the most
valuable locations in London and will erect
a store which will be a surprise to the Lon
don shopkeepeTs.
How London is Governed
From what l have said about London's
city improvements you will see that the
government here is something of an institu-
ton. This is. you know, the capital of the
united kingdom, the seat of parliament
and the residence of the king and royal
family. 1t has all the chief officials of the
government. but its own administration is
separate and apart from these. 1t is diff
cult to understand it, for the town has now
a dozen or so mayors and maze of other
authorities. Not long ago 1t had 500 sepa-
rate authorities, each exercising some sort
of control, but most of these were swaI-
lowed up in the London county council. At
present there is a county government, city
government and a borough government.
The borough government might be called a
ward government, for the city is divided
into twenty-seven boroughs, or wards, each
OF which has its own mayor, its cTn coun-
Gil and certain class of officials.
The London County Council.
The general government, however, is the
Tendon county council, comprising 13l

sQUAW BUILDING A CANOE.
Noted Indian Woman Will Have Her
Own CONVEYANCE.

Own Conveyance.
From the Detroit Free Press.
Kil-so-quah, an Indian squaw living near
Roanoke, Ind, is just at present busily en-
gagged in finishing a bark canoe. She is
ninety-one years old, and probably the CID
est Indian living east of the Mississippi,
yet she is in entire possession of ali her
faculties and is as bright and active as she
was thirty years ago. She does not speak
English, and conversation must be carried
on through an interpreter.
Kil-so-quah, though for years closely as
sociated with the whites. lives alone in her
wigwam, made by her own hands eighteen
years ago. 1t is built of bark, firmly at
tached to a framework Of poles with strips
of pliable wood, and is good protection
from the weather. kil-so-quah'S hair is
jet black, her eyes slisten like beads and
her dress is remarkable for the inclination
to bright colors shown by the aged squaw.
She loves to tell of her presence at the
signing of the Miami treaty with the gov
eminent at the old Hanna spring, now N
the city limits of Wabash, in 1929, and re-
calls wildly the terror of the Indians on
that occasion when the military bands be-
gan to play. Kil-so-quah is the only person
living who knows the correct history of the
flag of General Anthony Wayne. now treas
ured as priceless relic by DR.. p g. Moore
of Wabash. She gives the history of the
flag. which was for d long time in her
hands.

the flag to She-moc-e-niSh, a Miami chief
living at Thorntown. with the sentiment.
Whenever you see this flag remember we

She-moc-e-nish was the maternal grand
father of kil-So-qGah, and after his death
his wife, Wea Indian, took possession of
his effects and kept them from his relatives

and other belongings had been burned.
Mrs. James Aveline, granddaughter
was skeptical and searched for the prop
erty, finding the flag after the death of

LONDON, England.
London Is rapidly changing. The old city
IS putting off its old clothes and buying
new. Its streets are being widened many
of the old buildings have been torn down,
and there is a fair possibility that the day
of the American skyscraper may come, for
fats are going up in the fashionable sec
tion.
An army of workmen is now busy on the
Strand. AS l saw the street ten years ago
It was so narrow that two Omnbuses could
hardly pass. Today 1t is being changed into
a wide avenue which shall run from Trafal-
gar Square to HolbOrn. not far from St.
PauTs- Where the two streets come to-
gether about three acres Of buildings are to
be torn away, and this space will be leased
out by the city for new business houses.
In tearing down the Strand the owners of
the various properties have had to be
bought out. In many places the buildings
have been replaced The Gaiety Theater.

which is in use all over Great Britain so
that every little village has it's savings

there is a post office, and the savings banks
are SO well patronzed that they now have
more than 5000 100000 on deposit. Such an
institution would be Of the greatest good
to the United States, and if properly or
ganized would result in our holding every
cent of our own national debt.
American London Exposition.
During my stay in London l have been to
Americas exposition at the Crystal Palace,
1t Is not a success either in the number of
It's exhibitors nor the number Of it's WIS.,
itors. Indeed, you can see more American
goods in walk along Piccadilly or the
Strand than you can at the Crystal Palace.
Many of the exhibitors complain that they
have been brought here under false pre-
lenses and it would have been much better
for them and for the reputation of the
United States If there had been no EXPOSE
ton al all. AS far as / can see the whole
show consists of a fair display of American
typewriters, a few machinery exhibits an
American soda water fountain, carpet
sweeper or so from Grand Rapids, lawn
mower from New York, patent beer bot
so and a half dozen spectacle sellers. The
spectacle sellers have boxes Of spectacles
on hand, and they will sell you a micro
scope or test your eyes while you wait.
American Typewriters in London.
I talked to the typewriter exhibitors.
They tell me that the whole of the type
writing trade of Great Britain is now in
American hands and that there is only one
English machine worth speaking of. This
is called the Salter, but there are not more
than 800 in use in the whole country
The demand for typewriters here is
steadily increasing, although it is still
nothing compared with that of the United
States. L find typewriting establishments
In all the cities, and fairly good typists, az
the typewriter girls are called. In mos
cases, however, the English Typewriter
girl is not accustomed to taking dictatiOn
and she does better as copyst.
Here in London dictation costs half a
crown or 62 cents an hour or 10 shillinss
day. You can have copying done by
good operators for % cents per thousand
words and by less expert ones as low as
10 cents a thousand.
Some of my work has been done at an
Office near the Covent Garden market,
and strange to say, my typewriter is
granddaughter of Charles Dickens. She is
an expert typist and has some efficient as
ststants. FRANK G.. CARPENTER.

A Glorified Stew.

And now behold the Transformation of
this indigestible, unattractive dish, when a
little taste and thought are expended upon
it. If the remainder of the roast is large,
cut off slices about a quarter of an inch
thick. If very rare, all the better. Make
a brown sauce as follows: Melt two level
tablespoonfuls of butter or oil in a sauce
pan and brown with two level tablespoon
fuls Of flour. Add cup of stock or warm
water (cOld will answer and stir and cook
until 1T boiis. Season with half a teaspoon
full Of salt and dash of pepper. A table
spoonful of onion juice may be used for a
change. Now lay the slices of meat in the
sauce and heat thoroughly. Arrange on a
hot platter. Pour the sauce over the meat
and sprinkle over with chopped gherkins or
sour pickles. Before preparing the sauce
and meat pare four medium-szed turnips
and scrape six small new carrots. Cut into
small dice and boil until just tender in
sailed water. Drain and mix together and
serve as border around the slices of meat
with a little minced parsley Sprinkled on
the top or a few sprigs arranged here and
there among the vegetable. Here you have
beef a la jardiniere," literally translated,
served with a garden of vegetables. The
vivid contrast of colorS of the yegeta bles
with the rich dark brown of the meat and
sauce gives a very tempting well as d.
gestible dish. And, no doubt, in the minds
of many the comparison of names would in
tiuence the appetite as well.
A Way to Warm Up Cold Mutton.
Take teaspoonful of chopped onion,
put into a stewpan with one ounce butter,
place it over a slow fire, keep the onions
stirred till rather brown, but not burn.
Add some -four which mix well in, and
fry for five minutes; then pour In one-half
pint gravy, seasoned with cayenne and salt,
let boil to thicken and brown. Add one

Worcester sauce, some chopped gherkins
and capers and a few button mushrooms;

ously cut into thin slices, perfectly free
from fat, let 1t remain a few minutes and
simmer, not boil; then serve.

Comparison of Methods.

AS we have already said, expensive ma
terials and Celebrations are not necessary
to make our dishes attractive. The exer-
else of a little of womans inventive faculty,
combined with good taste, will accomplish
wonders in developing pleasing results.
When once it becomes a habit, it is Just as
easy and much more gratifying to do things
nicely, as 1t is to fall into the careless ways.
In order to form an idea of how important
a matter the garnishing of even the most
homeiy Of dishes may be, compare the two
following methods, the first being the ordi-
nary one used:
Cold meat cut into irregular pieces with
out removing the gristle and fat from
mistaken idea Of economy. Water and vege-
tables are added to this and all cooked to-
gether in a greasy gravy and then dished
up and served sans toast, sans garnish of
anV sort

What Nav Be Used to Garnish.

Beside the ever-useful and easily obtained
parsley, we have variety of material
that may be used for decorating the vari-
Gus dishes. Among the green things grow
ing we have lettuce, pepper grass, cress,
blanched celery and leaves, olives, CHER
kins capers. small picked beans. mas
turtiums, and even the homely cabbage,
when all else fails. For brighter colors
we have picked beets, carrots, red peppers
and red and yellow tomatoes. Added to
this list are d-boiled eggs, mushrooms,
truffles, chicken livers, oysters and smelts.
The latter are used by curling them around
and fastening the tail securely in the mouth

Let the Daughters Do 1t.

Mothers often plead that they are too
busy to give the necessary time to gar
nish and decorate their everyday dishes.
If this is true, then let the daughters take
this duty upon themselves. We go through
our wel-conducted public schools, where we
are shown the artistic efforts of the pupils
and are often much surprised and pleased
with the results. The grouping and arrange
ment of colors most frequently in evidence
are from a study of vegetables or fruits
with perhaps a homely background Of some
familiar kitchen utensils. Let these pupils
apply this knowledge at home in making
their table more attractive and the benefit

Some time ago Governor Heard of
Louisiana made the charge that the
British government had established a
recruiting camp at Chalmette, a few
miles below New Orleans. at which
men were enlisted for the army in
South Africa. President Roosevelt in
stituted an investigation at once, Col.
Crowder of the army being selected
for the work. The report of the latter
shows that the charge was groundless
so far as the violation of information
al law or the rights OF neutrals apply.
No recruiting had been done, although
mules and horses had been received
at this point. Such shipments were
clearly within the rights of this coun-
try and. as Secretary Hay points out.
had been exercised by the country for
over a hundred years. These pur.
chases have been a great source of
revenue to the mule growers of Mis-.
souri, and the horse raisers OF the far
west.
