PICKLED PEPPERS.

Red cabbage picked, while favor
lite in German houses, is seldom
known to the Americans. This is a
recipe that came from the Father
land: Cut a red cabbage of good size
into six pieces, sprinkle it with salt
and leave it for a day and a night.
Then drain off the liquid, rinse it
with cold water and let it soak in
fresh cold water. Scald half gallon
of vinegar with a dozen whole cloves
and white peppers and few blades
of mace broken fine Turn in half a
cupful of sugar and two or three ia
blespoonfuls of celery seed. Cook
slowly for a quarter of an hour. Have
the cabbage, drained and dried, pack
ed into a stone jar. Turn the hot vim
egar over it and put it in cool place.
The cabbage will be at its best in
two months.
There is a pepper relish that is
delicious with meats and fish. Re-
move the seeds from six large green
peppers and one red DELL pepper, and
chop the peppers fine. Mix the pep
pers with a finely minced head Of
cabbage. Turn in a little less than
quarter of a cupful of salt, full cup
full of sugar, two tablespoonfuls Of
mustard seed, and nice cider vinegar
enough to cover the mixture. Stir
thoroughly and bottle.

THE COOKS GUIDE.

Add a tablespoonful Of salt and the
same quantity of moist sugar when
mixing mustard, and use boiling wat
er. The mustard will then be found
to keep moist much longer than US
ual, and to have a better taste.
Among the various ways in which
tea can be brewed, an authority rec
ommends the following: Moisten an
ounce of tea, finely ground, with cold
water, and let it stand for twenty min
utes. Then pour on the tea scant
pint of boiling water, and in one min
ute it is ready to drink.
A housewife can manage very well
without scales if she will follow this
simple plan: One ordinary teacupful
of flour is four ounces, so that four
teacupfuls makes one pound. Sugar
is heavier, so do not take full cup OF
it to make four ounces. Shredded
suit is so light that a teacupful only
weighs two ounces With very lit
tie experience ingredients can be
measured quite accurately in this way.

CnNCERNING CHAIRS.

Among the most fascinating chairs
to be found in the shops are the Eng
lish easy-chairs, after both Chippen-
dale and Hepplewhite models. Tne
backs are high and square, the wings
or ears, as they are sometimes call
ed-form tempting resting-place for
the head, and the hospitable upholS-
tered arms complete a delightful
whole. Most of these are entirely
covered with chints or rep, a deep
aounce reaching to the floor, but many
of them have a base and feet OF ma
hogany or walnut. One model is par
ticularly attractive, in which turned
spindles of walnut rise at the outer
edges of the wings In these the
arms and braces and legs are turned
also.-Harper's Bazaar.

But to return to the practical wants
of the workaday woman. The difficulties
Of the blouse problem are greater than
they used to be, for, unless of very
smart order, we do net seem anxious to
have much in the way Of collars. The
hour of the transparent yoke and decol-
lete neck for day wear is happily over,
though there are still few women who
persist in showing favor to this most in
congruous fashion. High collars are
de rigeur now, and even our capes and
ruffles have softening plisse effects
brought up high at the back of the neck,
held in place by a buckle: they are
sometimes even finished with a wide
Medici collar.
At this time of year think the most
nractical material for blouses in delaine;
il is little thinner than flannel, washes
admirably, and is produced in all kinds
of attractive spots, checks and patterns
Checks of a small order will be used,
and stripes, too, will play an important
part in the wooden and cotton fabrics
of the future. The best way of MAX
ing a delaine blouse is with q turnover
sailor collar and tie passed beneath,
finishing in a neat bow or knot in the
front. 1t should be simply made, with a
few small box plaits back and front and
on the sleeves.
The afternoon blouses are OF chiffon,
mousseline de sole, etc, and show an
enormous quantity of gauging and en-
crustations of lace; sometimes, too,
they are ornamented with frills and
ruches. Altogether the reception or
demi-toilette blouse is a complicated
garment, and displays more elaboration
than the regulation dress bodice.
In our illustrations will be found pic
lures of three dainty gowns, that, though
elaborate and expensive as here shown,
may be reproduced in cheaper materials
and still retain their air of elegance.

because of men and delay IN starting
across the sea ice, due to the fact that
his headquarters were too far south of
the Polar ocean. Nansen had previ-
ously reached Sc degrees and IA min
utes north latitude, and Duke of Abruzzi
sc degrees, "a minutes. so that there are
two explorers who have penetrated far
Their north than Peary. The latter spent
the winter of 1901-02 at Payer Harbor,
near Cape Sabine. On March 3, 1902, an
advance party of six sledges, under the
command of Mr. Pearys coored serv-
ant, Matt Henson, started to transport
provisions to Fort Conger, and on the
sixth Is more sledges left Cape Sabine
From Fort Conger it was necessary to
carry supplies to the edge of the ocean
at Cape Hecla, and thus a difficult pre-
lmInary journey of more than 400 miles
had to be accomplished before the ex-
petition could leave the land-a jour
ney that would have been unnecessary
had the expedition carried a party
strong enough to establish a headquar-
tiers at the limit of solid land.
On April l, with Henson, four Es.
quimos and six sledges, the leader set
forth over the rough ice of the Polar sea.
After Is days, confronted by small foes,
of which the edges were crumpled into
mounds sometimes SO feet high by the
pressure of the pack, he was forced to
abandon further advance. He reached
Cape Hecla on April "a and continued
to Cape Sabine. where he arrived on
April 20. The auxiliary steamer Wind
ward, bearing Mrs. Peary and her daugh-
| ter, Marie Anneghito. who was born in
the frozen north during the expedition
| of 1898, reached Payer Harbor on Au-
gust 5, took off the explorer and his
| party and made towards home.
The plans to reach the pole in the fu-
ture. as announced by Mr.. Peary, are an
evolution of schemes put forward at diff
| ferent times by various explorers, name
| ly: A headquarters on the furthest at
| tainable land, supported by line of
! caches down to the limit of regular nav
! igation; large supporting party to re-
| plenish the supplies of the caches and
of the headquarters; and dash with
| light party over the ice foes. The new
! features of Mr.. Peary's plan are light
pioneer party to go in advance of the
main party. for the purpose of mapping
out a route, and the use of EsquimauX
in the preliminary work. In fact, the
expedition has in mind the redistribution
of the entire tribe of Whale sound Els
quimaux in series of settlements ex-
| tending from Cape Sabine in the south
to Cape Hecla, the proposed point OF
departure of the dash for the pole"
With plans carefully laid and Com
mander Peary's long experience in arc
| tic exploration to overcome the diff
culties. there is reason to hope and ex-
pect that he will reach the goal of his
ambition, if it is possible for man to
! reach the pole at all.

phon with his 10000 men on their re-
turn to Europe.
The fleet which the various interna-
tional treaties, and the Turkish FORTH
cations have locked in the Black sea
number among it's ships some of the
best in the Russian navy. The fleet is
also comparatively modern, as it has all
been built since 1886, when the first
three ships were laid down. The fleet
consists of three first and five second
class battleships, and while not large,
as modern fleets go, it would give Rus
STA a strong fleet for far eastern service
if it could be added to the Baltic fleet
and what is left of the Pacific feet.
The three first class battleships, Cath
crime H., Tchesme and Sinope are mon
SterS of their kind. Their measure
ments are as follows: Displacement,
10, 1870 tons; length between the perpen-
diculars, 800 feet; beam, 60 feet;
draught. 25 feet. The compound armor
belt has a maximum thickness of 10
inches, and the triangular rebout is
plated with ten inches. This redoubt,
or citadel, is special feature. 1t pre-
sents it's base to the bows, and, mas
much as two 12-inCh Sc ton guns are
coupled en- barbette at each of the an
giles, the bow fire is exceedingly power
full. The six heavy guns are mounted
on the disappearing guns principle, and
only show over the top of the redoubt
when about to fire. or the seven six
inch guns, four are also disposed for
bow fire and three directed aStern.
Another remarkable vessel in this
fleet is the Trisuititelia, which is the
heaviest protected ship in the world.
Some of the vessels of this fleet are
speedy, running from Is to 10 knots an
hour The Rostislav burns oil for fuel
and made Is knots on her trial trip.
Whether or not this fleet will sue
coed in getting out Of the trap In which
it is caught by international complica-
tons is a question that only time can
answer, but if it does it should give a
good account of itself in the far east,
or it will at least prove whether or not
the Russians are adopts at naval con-
struction, for the entire feet is neces-
sarily of Russian build.
