/ hindrance to the prosperity of other
nations. We seek ionaI amity
for the same reasons that make us be-
| and we seek this peace not because
we are afraid or upready, but because
we think that peace is right as well
as advantageous.
American interests in the Pacific
have rapidly grown. American enter
prise has laid a cable across this, the
greatest of oceans. We have proved
in effective fashion that we wish the
Chinese Empire well and desire its
integrity and independence.
Our foothold in the Philippines
greatly strengthens our position in
the competition for the trade of the
East; but we are governing the Phil
ippines in the interest of the Philip
pine people themselves. We have al
ready given them a large share in
their government, and our purpose is
to increase this share as rapidly as
they give evidence of increasing fit
ness for the task. The great majority
Of the officials of the islands, wheth-
err elective or appointive, are already
native Filipinos. We are now provid-
ing for legislative assembly. This is
the first step to be taken in the future:
and It would be eminently unwise to
declare what our next step will be I'M
til this first step has been taken and
the results are manifest. To have
gone faster than we have already
gone in giving the islanders a con-
stantly increasing measure of self-gov-
eminent would have been disastrous

transform this into self-government by
the Elipinos assisted by Americans.
The principles which we uphold
should appeal to all our countrymen,
in all portions of our country. Above
all they should give us strength with
the men and women who are the spir-
itual heirs of those who upheld the
hands of Abraham Lincoln: for We are
striving to do our work in the spirit |
with which Lincoln approached his. |
During the seven years that have just |
passed there is. no duty, domestic or
foreign. which we have shirked; no
necessary task which we have feared |
to undertake. or which we have not |
performed with reasonable efficiency. |
We have never pleaded impotence. |
We have never sought refuge in criti-
cism and complaint instead of action.
We face the future with our past and |
our present as suarantors of our
promises; and we are content to stand |
or to fall by the record which we have
made and are making.

This is delicious breakfast dish, and
one that deserves to be better known.
Wash, halve and core four large ap-
pies. Make a syrup of one cupful of
granulated sugar and cup and half
of boiling water. AS the syrup thick
ems drop in the apples and cook until
tender. Lift out carefully, roll each
piece in granulated sugar and return
to the syrup. Cover with oatmeal
porridGe made by cooking one cupful
of prepared oats in two cupfuls Of boil
ing water with a teaspoonful of salt
for twenty minutes. Serve with cream,
plain or whipped. If preferred, the
apples may be left whole and simply
cored, the cavities being filled with
chopped dates, raisins, figs or any
other fruit. Another variation Is the
addition of ground nuts-butternuts,
walnuts or almonds.

Milk Tonst.

The very best way to make milk
toast is by the time-honored recipe
handed down from our grandmothers.
They Drowned and buttered the toast,
setting it aside to keep hot while they
heated and stirred smoothly together
over the fire one tablespoonful each of
flour and butter and one-quarter tea
spoonful of salt to each cup of milk.
The hot milk was added and all cooked
to a smooth, slightly thickened cream.
Then the slices of toast were bathed
in the liquid long enough to soften
them, before the whole was dished and
sent in to the table. This, it may be
repeated, is the best way, but, If the
milk is rather limited, an allowable
variation is to add pinch Of salt to
each slice of toast, pour boiling water
quickly over, and then replace it with
the hot, thickened milk on the nlatter
on which 1t is to be served.

ASPARAGUS LONG A FAVoRlTE,
Records Date Back Almost to Begin
ming of Authentic History.


ming of Authentic History.
OF all food plants there is none
which has been so long known or been
possessed of so distinguished line
age as the asparagus. Its records
reach back almost to the beginning
of authentic history, and it is men
toned by the comic poet Cratinus,
who died about 425 B. c. The Ro
mans held the vegetable in high es'
teen. The elder Cato wrote a work
which is still extant, DE re Rustica,"
and 1t treats at length of the virtues
Pliny, in his natural history, written
about go A. D.. has much to say about
it. He feelingly observes: "Of all
the products Of your garden your chief
care should be asparagus" and he de-
votes several chapters to its many
good qualities and the best methods
OF raising 1t. He asserts that the soil
about Ravenna was so favorable to
its production that three heads grown
in that district had been known to
weigh Roman pound. This pound
seems to have been about equal to
eleven ounces in our day. so 1t would
apparently have taken four of the
stalks TO have reached a pound Of our
weight.
The asparagus being essentially a
southern plant, it is possible that the
stock growing in Italy was of more
vigorous growth than that of our
northern cline. 1t is found all around
the shores of the Mediterranean and
branches off into four or five distinct
species besides the one ordinarily
used for edible purposes.
