Table and Kitchen.
Green Tomatoes.

To your list of fall vegetables and fruits
add the green tomato. To be sure 1t cannot
replace the beautiful scarlet frhtt that has
graced the summer table and given so
much pleasure to the eye and to the pal
ate. But do the housekeepers generally
know that when the tomato season is wan
ing and they ripen so slowly In the autumn
sun that the first frosts are apt to find the
vines loaded with green fruit In various
stages Of development that the upripe to-
mato is quite as useful in many ways in
cookery as the red ripe fruit?
For picking the green tomato has always
been a favorite; but it may be utilized in
son augment the fast decreasing number Of
fresh garden fruits and vegetables.
The green tomato might with more pro-
priety be claSsed with vegetables than the
ripe, although 1t also may be used in some
of the ways used with fruits-notably in
preserves and pies. Green tomatoes may
be stuffed and baked in same way as pep
whole in a rich syrup with lemon and
ginger is nice served with boiled rice and
boiled or steamed cereal buildings. The
green tomatoes can also be picked or salt
ed like cucumbers and thus preserved for
winter use.
The housewife who is the fortunate pos
SCISSOR of kitchen garden and a cool dark
cellar can have ripe tomatoes for a very
considerable length of time after the heavy
frosts appear, by taking up the vines, root
and branch and hanging them roots up
ward in the darkest part of the cellar.
They may lack flavor, but give the brilliant
bit of coloring on the table which you have
enjoyed all summer.

Green Tomato Pickle, No. 2.

Peel the tomatoes without scalding and
cut one-half inch thick. Sprinkle lightly
with salt and let stand over night; the next
morning drain and cook a few at time in
the spiced syrup, removing carefully to the
jars as soon as done. If plenty of syrup is
used and boiled down to good consistency
they will keep well. Watch them and If
the syrup appears thin or begins. to work,
reheat them and after boiling thoroughly,
put the fruit into the jars and boil the
syrup down we'll before pouring over the
fruit again. The tomatoes may also be
used whole with the skins on.

IRON MORE VALUABLE THAN
GOLD AND SILVER COMBINED.

What are our precious metals? Gold
and silver" YOU answer.
That depends.
II by preciousness is meant the value Of

and silver are not the precious metals. ac-

United States Geological Survey. which

Gold and silver may dazzle us with their

GEN. LEcoNTE's DUPLICITY.
Made Secret Agreement With Germans
in Haiti.

An interesting statement Of the scenes
attending the enforced retirement OF Gen.
Sam as president of Haiti and of the revo-
lutionary period following is told In the
Haitian series of diplomatic exchanges APP
pearing In the forthcoming volume of for
eign relations of the United States.
Speaking of the candidates for President
Sans place, Minister Powell said Of Gen.
C.. Leconte secretary of agriculture, and
one of the aspirants for the presidency:
'It was supposed that Gen. Leconte. In
case the president. Gen. Sam. should re-
sign would be the government candidate.
It was also stated that he was supported
by the leading German commercial and
banking interests of this capital.
In return he was to grant them certain
commercial favors, was not to favor re-
newal of the present commercial treaty
with France and was to grant to the Ger
man government some place near the MOLE
St. Nicolas for a coaling station. The lat
ter statement, though, was not true. but 1t
is supposed that certain arrangements were
made with the agents of the Hamburg
American Steamship Company, by which,
In case Gen. Leconte should be elected. he
would favor granting them place In the
vicinity of the Mole to store coal.
He was also to grant them an interest In
certain mineral lands, which are thought
to be very rich, and which would give them
almost exclusive control of such lands.
The agents of this company are Germans,
and, 1t is said, supplied him Ueconte5 with
money to a large amount. BY some means
his opponents secured copy of the pro-
posed agreement and published the same
in one of the daily papers. The next day
after It appeared Leconte and the agents
in question published a denial that such an
agreement was made. hut the people In
general believed the denial to be untrue.
This embittered all classes against L.
conte."
The election of Leconte was prevented
by the forcible adjournment Of the cham.
bers by citizens opposing his candidacy.
