A QUEEN WHO SELLS BUTTER.

Queen Wilhelmina of Holland has
gone into the dairy business and is
now making money by selling milk
and butter. Her first step in this di-
rection when she induced her husband.
Prince Henry, to buy several cows,
which were placed on the rich lands
surrounding the castle of Loo The
cows prospered exceedingly. and the
Queen was so well pleased with the
success of the experiment that she In
structed the managers of her estates
to make a tour of the stock farms and
purchase the best animals that could
be obtained in Holland This they
did, ana sent the herd to the castle of
Loo.
A dairy was established in connec-
ton with the royal castle. and now
butter and milk are sold in large
quantities from the Queens esta blish-
ment. She herself devotes consider
able time to directing and inspecting
the work of the dairy, and IL has be-
come her most absorbing hobby. She
determined that the dairy should be
not only self-supporting. but profit
able, and she is now realizing a neat
little sum for pin money from 1t every

NEWEST FADS
In SUMMER
PORCH PILLOWS

Never has the assortment Of summer
sofa pillows been prettier than 1t is
this season.
The warm weather pillow occupies
conspicuous place in the furnishings
for the country house. Not only IL it
pretty and artistic in design, but it is
serviceabIe and practical as well, and
can endure the hardest usage.
The most practical of all the cush-
ions is the one with the button-on
cover. Either silk floss or down is
used for filling under the white under
cover. but the outside must be of
heavy wash goods canvas, linen crash
or other firm fabric. On one side must
be a set Of buttons and buttonholes, so
that the slip may be taken of and
washed whenever necessary.
Pretty designs in tan-cOlored linen
crash made in an oblong shape are to
be largely used for hsmmOcks this
summer. Many of the cushions Of this
style are embroidered in heavy linen
with the names Of songs suggestive of
warm weather. In the Good Old
Summer Time" is a popular motto, an

A DREAM THAT
SPOILED HIS TRIP.

A dream of my wife, says writer
in the New York Times. spoiled my
last foreign trip, put an end to some
ancestral and antiquarian researches
which I had started. and gave me the
reputation of a cruel and vicious hus-
band among a lot of people with whom
1 was anxious to stand we'll" observed
Mr.. Van Duser sadly. And the havoc
wrought by the dream wasn't in the
least due to the fact that any of the
parties concerned were superstitious. 1t
was Just a case of hard luck and mu-
tual misunderstanding.
Both my wife's people and my own
originally came from Holland. and for
wears we had been intending to look
the subject up. So the last time we
crossed, having little time on our
hands, we decided to take run over to
Holland. A couple of days later found
us in one of those old-fashioned, spot
less Dutch hotels. We couldn't under
The Savannah morning news., 1903-06-14

stand much Of what the people about
the hotel said, and they couldn't hold
any lengthy conversations with US. But
they were cordial and pleasant and we
looked forward to having a good time,
even If we didn't accomplish much in
the line of ancestral research.
'Of course the surroundings were a
little strange. and l suppose that was
the cause of the trouble. For about
midnight was awakened by a scream
from my wife. Then another and a
third. 1t was only case of nightmare,
but bad one. and it took some little
time to get her thoroughly awake.
BY the time she was awake the pro-
prietor and half the servants in the
hotel were at our door. I opened II a
bit and tried to explain matters. My
explanation didn't work. Instead the
landlord made an indignant reTnon-
STRANGE. which as 1t was half Dutch and
half German didn't enlighten me much.
Finally things quoted down a bit and
| went back to bed. But the next
morning, when we came down to break
fast, everybody cast indignant chances
at me and equai.' sympathetic ones at
my wife. 1t wasn't hard to find out
what the trouble was. They thought
my wife's screams had been due to
some brutality of mine, and evidently
looked upon me as a burly wife beat
er. My wife tried to explain matters,
but that didn't help much. Her ex-
plantations, in the best German she
could muster up, We're received with
smiles of polite incredulity-of course,
a wife would stand by her husband,
even if he is a brute.
1t finally got so uncomfortable for
me in the hotel that I left without
having accomplished anything in the
way of investigation of our family rec
ord. And now" added Mr.. Van Duser
plaintively, whenever the subject OF
marital troubles is mentioned my wife
glances at me and laughs, as if 1t was
the best of jokes. Women have such
queer ideas of humor"

JUNE WEDDINGS,

The wedding bells may jangle out
their clamorous congratulations as
gaily as their iron tongues can speak.
but not all the warmth of the fair
day, nor any flood of cloudless sun
shine which may greet them on their
exit from the church can keep away
the element of decay which is integral
in what they mistake for happiness
and unity.
The roses that shall mark the bridal
path, and arch in empowering beauty
over many a fair head in these coming
weeks, will symbolic strange things
before the year has run it's course.
Would that the glad lesson of ever
expanding, ever renewing nature
should be the only things they typify
then we could let our minds forget
that winter and it's desolating storms
have their appointed places in life's
history, for faithful love never ceases
to give forth new life and bloom and
beauty, and the sap of the rose tree,
driven back toward the root, abides

blossom. But there are queenly roses
in whose rich and fragrant hearts are
hidden enemies which are sure to de-
stroy life; these, too, alas, are only
too perfect symbols of some futures
which stretch out their weary way
from the brilliant place they decorate.
One feature of midsummer weddings
disturbs a flower lover. cannot see
the poetical or beautiful side of tread
ing upon lovely blossoms. 1t seems so
out Of harmony with gentle kindliness
to crush the beauty out of talr
flower, and when you carry the inter
probation of the custom to its rational
meaning, it is hard to find anything TO
make US wish to continue it. That
flowers may bloom beside, around,
above the bride, God grant, be they
those of the field or of the heart, put
what we wish to express by asking her
to destroy them as she walks, 1t Is
hard 20 tell. When we come to the
root of the matter, the logical deduc-
ton seems to be that she shall mar
and deface what ought to give her de-
light. 1t may seem a, small thing 10
wage war against, but l would IKE
to insist that the fascinating little
"fower maidens" carry their fragrant
baskets before their queen as TRIBUTE
to her own loneliness, but keep them
tenderly from injury and destruction.
1t is a pleasant thing to think or
while the strange catalogue OF TINS
Hateful year of catastrophes keeps en-
larging it's sorrowful record, and we
read of appalling activities elsewhere
of every natural force, that just in our
own favored neighborhood, the gent
lest of breezes stirs the bridal wells
and the clearest skies bend above the
CAV travellers fastening away from
congratulating crowds to enjoy the
companionship which is made more
perfect by the loneliness of the coun-
try which calls them to its seclusion
Let us hope that while 1903 must
ever be remembered for its terrible
record of destruction, it shall prove to
have some brighter story to tell of new
homes begun, and of the happy mar
rtages Of those who founded them.
We win at least join in wishing the
heartiest good wishes to the brides OF
the month.

TIMELY RECEIPTS
FOR THE ONION
AND ASPARAGUS

The succulent asparagus and the
wholesome onion make their spring
entrance together. and will remain
most of the summer. In the doc
tors book of household remedies
both vegetables have important
places. A free indulgence in aspara-
gus is advised for kidney and liver,
while the onion proves a veritable
medicine chest. equal to anything
from scurvy to smallpox.
While gourments assert that aspara-
gus TO be perfect should be eaten
tepid, the majority of people prefer
1t hot or cold. Fashion in the last
year has run to cold asparagus with
a dressing of salt, pepper. oil. vinegar
and possibly a few finely minced
herbs to flavor.
In cooking asparagus not n scrap
should be wasted. While the tough,
woody stalks are absolutely impos-
sible as a vegetable. they will afford
body and flavor to a cream OF Aspara-
gus soup.

For a summer appetizer there is
nothing to excel young onions or
Bermudas, sliced wafer thin, lightly
sailed and placed between slices OF
fresh bread and butter. II is asserted
that taken daily. they will prove more
effective than any complexion beauti-
fiers in the market. If one Is afraid
Of the odor. the onions may be laid
in ice water for an hour before slieing,
and a bit of parsley may be eaten
after partaking Of them.
An excellent salad may be made by
cutting new onions. cucumbers and
lettuce together, and then dressing
with a French dressing. Onions and
tender radishes sliced and drdssed
with oil and vinegar are appealing.
Callfornians revel in a combination of
young onions and delicious ripe black
olives, which discount the immature
green fruit with which alone most
people are familiar.
The incest way 10 cook young on
ions is to cook them tender In boiling

the tough ends and bind the remain
ing stalks together in small bundles
with strips of muslin. Boil. standing
ends upward, in salted water, allowing
the tops to extend two inches out OF
the water in order to steam tender,
instead of cooking to a frowsy mass
and wasting. Cook about half an
hour until tender and not broken.
Remove the stalk from the water. ar
range symmetricaIly on buttered
toast. and serve with a sauce Of drawn
butter. A still more delectable sauce
is made from the water in which the
asparagus was boiled. Put in small
saucepan a level teaspoonful Of flour
and a heaped one of butter. Heat
until they blend, then stir in a half
cup of the asparagus water and the
same amount of rich cream.

An appetizing asparagus salad Is
made of the cooked asparagus. After
boiling until tender in the manner
suggested above, drain we'll and chill.

French dressing made to suit the
taste of the family. A good proper
