AS HEARD IN A ROOMING HOUSE.

BY LCE F. VERNON.
While seated at my window,
At close of Sabbath day,
Floating through the twilight,
From church across the way,
Came throb OF grand pipe organ.
Like scent of new-mown hay.
Then voice of sincere preacher,
Saying: Good people, let us pray
"Grant, 0, Heavenly Father
Eddie, close the back hall door
1--WE know we are not worthy
who spilled grease upon this tloor?'
Watch Ger us, keep us, guide US
John bring up some COAL
Put love in our hearts, dear Jesus
"Yes, like halibut, cod and SOLE"
90, Lord, make plain our duty
Say, Tom, turn on the light
"A And make us as a little child
No theater for me tonight"
ave know you gave your only SOM
Il bought the dress at Moore s.
ITO save us lOwly sinners
"Why, that's a Cheap John store"
I'VE are not worthy of thy love-"
Please, Miss Howler, sing
We ask you to forgive u.s.
81 shot it on the wing"
Be with us at this meeting"-
why, Japan won't do thing
"Grant us strength and wisdom
"Emma's got him on string"
80, Lord, look down upon u.s.
Fred skipped out. they say
Teach us love and Kindness
Prosperity is here to stay"
From sin We ask your pardon
Lacrosse is an exciting game;
And then left the window
For raindrops splashed the pane.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Gov. La Toilette says the Republi.
can party ought to 60 for measures,
not men. Well, if Spooner isn't ex.
actly q measure, isn't Peck q measure?
Senator Fairbanks says When the
American people think. their judg-
ments are always righteous" And of
course they always think when they
endorse him.
The New York World vouches for
the statement that the Democratic
managers OF the campaign had more
than $l.5OO,0OO, besides individual
gifts. Mr.. Taggart spiritiy denies it.
It is proposed to pass a $4,000, 900
river and harbor bill OF the coming
short session of Congress. Such a
generous poultice will heal q good
many sore.heads and broken hearts.
A New York dispatch says that
President Roosevelt, homo to vote,
unostentatiously entered a cross
town street.car." If be should enter
one ostentatiously, it might be worth
Q notice. .
The message which comes from
Rome is: "The Pope congratulates
President Roosevelt on the splendid
returns" The Pope is certainly en-.
titled to his own opinion, but Demo.
Gratis and Republicans will be sure to
agree that concerning this matter he
would show much better taste by
keeping his opinion to himself.
The election Of Mr.. Douglas, shoe.
maker, a. Governor of Massac chusetts,
on a platform of tariff revision and
reciprocity with Canada seems to have
stirred the Republicans all up, and
they now earnestly declare that they
are going to cut down the tariff just
as soon as they can get At it. and
never had any other idea in their
heads. Perhaps tho Democratic party,
like Samson, will be able to slay more
Philistines in its defeat than it was
able to dispose OF during the years OF
its victories.

Some editors are always hollering
about syndicated editorial matter. 1t
is fact that many newspaper editors
have not the patience or time tc get
out paragraph work, and another
thing. there are many editors who
have no talent for "short" work, but
who pride themselves on their ability
as long-editorial writer's, after the
fashion OF Pyle, the last.year editor Of
the P.-L., and whose brain.work was
not read by one per cent. o: the Prs
subscribers.
If people who chew tobacco, use

The Chicago pulpiteer, who felt it
was his bounden Christian duty to
speak to the ladies of his congregation
in most confidential, heart-to-heart
manner, concerning their petty faults
and foibles, has now had it made clear
to him that he had better be listening
for call TO some other pulpit. "Never
be critical upon the ladies'" was the
maxim of an Irish peer, remarkable
for his homage to the eek, "The
only way that a gentleman should
look at the faults of pretty woman
is with his eyes shut"

OLYMPIA WASHINGTON: FRIDAY MORNING. NOV 25 1904

er's milk contains very little salt.
Cows milk has at least four times as
much, but even this amount the adult
who should live on milk alone-say,
three quarts a day-would take more
chloride than he needs.
Man in state of nature does not
salt his food. Primitive peoples who
lead pastoral and nomadic life do not
add salt to what they eat. The
same is true of animals. Dogs and
cats do not like salt. Even the do.
messic herbivores get along very we'll
if salt is not added to their food"
M. Laufer discredits all tales of ill
ness from the discontinuance OF salt
The French soldiers who were said to
have suffered from lack of salt in the
seige Of Metz, did so, he says, simply
because they required it to hide the
taste Of the spoiled meat that they
were forced to eat. The story of the
Russian serfs who are reported to have
fallen i'll when deprived of salt by their
lords. bears on its face, NJ. Laufer
thinks. marks of its falsity.
Among the chief morbid symptoms
said to follow the lack OF salt is edema,
or swelling, but the writer shows that
nowadays diet without salt is pre-.
scribed for this trouble, and has been
effective in curing it. In the same
way he disposes to his satisfaction of
all the different ills said TO arise when
one is deprived of salt.
Finally, he calculates the amount OF
salt necessary to carry on the processes
OF organic animal life and the amount
lost by excretion and comes to the fol.
lowing conclusion:
Our food, provided it constitutes .
proper regimen in the physiologic
sense of the word, contains in itself
and with no necessity of adding to it
from outside, sufficient salt for our
needs.

To Make Apple Cheese.

This is an English dainty and a very
old-fashioned one, but as delicious as
many of the other old.time dishes go
highly lsuded of late. Take four
pounds OF apples, pared and cored ;
divide them into quarters and add
two pounds OF sugar, the grated rind
Of one lemon, the juice of two and a
teaspoonful OF essence OF ginger. Put
teacupful OF water into the bottom
of the stewpan and cook the apples
gently in it until they are reduced to
thick pulp, stirring them from time
to time. Let it cook an hour after it
begins to boil, or more if the apples do
not appear to be perfectly smooth and
free from Jumps. The juice should be
all boiled away. 1t must be closely
watched to keep from burning. When
done pour into small molds or cups,
tie down with paper, and keep in
cool, dry place.
THERE are no good manners with
poor morals.

HOW SEEDLEss FRUITS GROW
They Seem to Be FertiIized Though With
out Seed.

They Seem to Be fertilized Though With
out Seed.
Horticulturists have generally as
sumed that seedless fruit is developed
without fertilization by the pollen.
There have been experiments carried
ON to determine this and it was
thought that the experiments were
reliable. Without doubt the men who
did the work believed that the fruit
was unfertilized.
In South Australia some very elab-
crate Investigations have been made
to discover if the Zante currant, the
well.knOwn seedless currant, is pro
duced without the fertilizing processes.
In word it is decided by the expert.
menters there that the currant,
though apparently seedIess, is the pro.
duct of fertilizing processes.
At first experiments we're made to
produce seedless currants by removing
the pollen a few days before it was
ready to be precipitated into the
ovules. This work the experimenters
did with the greatest care, but in the
end pronounced it impossible to do
the work so carefully that a few
grains of pollen would not get into the
ovules Of the fruit.
The investigation showed further
that the ovules OF these seedless cur.
rants are really fertilized and in.
creased in size for about ten days,
after which they abort. This pre-.
vents the seed from developing, but
the growth is started by the fer,iliza.
ton in the beginning.
This is probably the case with all
seedless fruit. The growth is started
by the fertilization in the ordinary
way and then the seed formation is
stopped, and this gives more power to
the development of the pulp of the
fruit.
THE Sunset Magazine says that the
way to cook goose is first, after get.

bird with the skin on. This calls to
mind also the practice of skinning

and skinning fish when one knows
how, takes much less time than seal
ing it. Nothing is so unpleasant, too,
as finding scales in your fried fish, un.
less it is cores in baked apples.
