OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD sERv!A
- Similar to That of the Government
Of England.

Washington. June 22.-Tf2 United
I-ates government has adopted an at
titude ,milar to that of England to-
ward tie new Servian dynasty.
It will be in no haste to recognize
a government created by assassina-
ton in the absence of some exhibi
tion of some disposition to
punish the guilty. Therefore.
Mr. Jackson, who. besides be-
ing minister to Greece is also
United States minister to Servia, will
not present his credentials to the
government of King Peter at present.
In fact, these credentials have no'
been prepared. He has credentials t.
King Alexander which he had never
presented, and was actually on his
way from Athens to Belgrade at the
time of the assassination Of the king.
to whom he was about to present his
papers. It happens that the trade
between the United States and Ser
via is trifling, and the interests of
the two countries touch at few points
so there is really little embarrass-
ment likely to follow the failure to
establish diplomatic relations.

acres in cotton. H says that COO

says that the crop is very backward,
that the cotton is small and up to
this time looks badly. However, the
recent good weather has allowed the
labor, which is scarce, to get into
the fields and pretty thoroughly clean
the crops. Mr.. Oracle sent to the
east to get a short staple ninety-day,
cotton which be is trying on some
of the overflowed district. This cot
ton is supposed to mature in ninety
Gays. He says that this cotton ma

be gathered as soon as open, and not
like the average cotton now being
raised here, which opens only a few
bolls at a time

The Newest Reform.

DR.. Felix Regnault, a French
writer, in an article on "The Econo-
my of Time" insists that all au-
thors should employ clear and con-
else language, suppressing all that
is useless. lie advocates the simph-
fication of spelling and the shorten
ing of long words. He suggests that
a number of frequently recurring
words should be abbreviated. For
example, in an article on tubercu;
losis he would spell out that word
once and afterward indicate it by a
st." lie would also print the more
important ideas in bold type, 50
that the reader could seize the gist
of the authors meaning at a glance
Every article should be preceded by
a brief resume, and the frequent
use of diagrams is advocated.

Curious Petticoat Test.

Two well known aristocratic wo-
men from Vienna, staying at Evian-
les-Bains, had an argument as to
whether or no a woman who fell
into the water in full walking cos
tune would be aided or impeded by
her clothes, writes the London Ex-
press Geneva correspondent. Argu-
ment soon led to dispute and dis
pute to wager, with the result that
the two ladies in smart summer
frocks, lace petticoats and picture
hats jumped straightway into the
water to test their opinions. The
onlookers, thinking that they were
witnessing double suicide, dashed
off in boats to the rescue. The wo-
men, however, declined assistance
until they had pluckily swum a con-
siderable distance and were almost
drowned by their clinging garments.
They both agreed after reaching
the shore that skirts are not con-
ducive to easy swimming while cor
sets are an impeachment.

Chintz Covered Walls.

An idea utilized in an out OF the
way attic room which had to be
converted into a bedroom at the
least possible expense was that OF
covering the walls with old fashion
ed chintz-not paper, but the gen
uine woven material. The sort
chosen had a ground of cream, on
which full blown roses were strewn.
Just the dainticst thing imaginable
and costing only few cents yard
The room never having been used
for anything but purposes Of stor-
age, there was no wooden 'surbase.
and the chintz was hung before this
was put in, so that the lower edges
of each strip were concealed.

Pneumonia.

Pneumonia dung fever) having
become of late years the most dead
ly disease of all ages, general intel
ligence in regard to its cause and
what may be done to avoid it are
desirable. The disease depends upon
a specific vegetable organism, which,
being at all times present in thick
ly populated districts, grows rap
idly in the air passages of the indi-
vidual if his vitality is suddenly
depressed. In these particulars the
bacillus of pneumonia resembles
that of consumption, but its multi
plication is much more rapid and
the poisoning from its excretions
much more acute. The danger of
pneumonia may be lessened by keep
ing the air passages clear of mu-
Gus, by avoiding chill and fatigue,
by good ventilation and absence
from crowded and overheated
rooms.

A Clever Idea.

A dish drainer was thought out
by an invalid whose mind is much
stronger than her body. 1t was so
cleverly thought out that it saves
at least one-third of the work-the
great, great work-of dish drying.
The dishes are firmly held at their
lower edges in the bottom of the
wire basket. They are rinsed on
both sides at the same time and do
not steam. There is a central baS-
ket which holds knives, forks and
spoons upright, insuring perfect
drainage and preventing soaking
and loosening of knife handles. No
pretty finger tips are scalded in
hot rinsing water.

YOUTH AND AGE.

Maitre Labor, the noted French

An American journalist heard La

advocates address was full of grace,
wit and tenderness. lie quotes a
passage relating to old age wherein
Labor, with a smile, said:
cold age-we shall none of us
quite understand that until we have
attained to it-for no one of us here
is old. But the other day visited
nv uncle, a very aged man.
"'What is it like, uncle l said,
to be old"
"And my uncle answered:
"It is like this: When one Is
young ones polite attentions to wo,
men are taken for declarations OF
love, but when one is old ones dec

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Chopped Smoked Beef and cream
Make a DeIiqhtful Breakfast Dish.

Make Delight1ul 6Tedkidst S'e"'
One of the most satisfactory OF
breakfast dishes and one that is
good in all seasons if properly pre-
pared is chopped smoked beef in
cream. The preparation of this dish
is absolutely simple, and yet it seems
to be almost impossible to get 1t
cooked right. Ask for this Wand IN
a hotel or restaurant and see what
YOU will get. If you don't throw
it at the walters head it will be be-
cause you are exceedingly ahiable.
A sickly, white, pasty mixture, sug77
gestive of leather and skinned
milk, which doubtless some French
chef greatly prides himself upon.
Now, this is essentially an Amerl-
can dish, and there is not a French
man in creation who can give 1t the
right touch.
Of course it takes good materials
for the composition of this break
fast dish. You must have either
cream or rich milk, plenty of but
ter and good smoked beef, Clipped
very thin and fine. Now, this is the
way to cook it, and the details are
given so infinitely that child with
any brains can successfully follow
them:
Chip half pound of sliced smok-
ed beef, CRATE fine, leave it on a dish
till the sauce is prepared. Put a
pint of rich milk or cream in a
saucepan over slow fire, add two
generous tablespoonful of butter
to the milk. Put two heaping ia
blespoonfuls of flour in bowl,
gradually add a half pint of milk
and beat the flour with 8 fork
through the milk till it is dissolved
and perfectly smooth, not even a
suggestion of lump. When the
milk and butter in the saucepan
begins to bubble drop in the dis
solved flour gradually, stirring 1t
briskly with the fork. This must be
silver fork, to keep it from lump
ing. When the flour is all stirred
in and the mixture has boiled gen.
tly until it is very thick add another
tablespoonful of butter, stir 1t
through, then drop in the Clipped
beef gradually, and let it cook two
minutes, and you have one of the
most appetizing and delicious OF
breakfast dishes.-New York Press.
