Old English Cookery.

Speaking Of old English dishes and
the wonderful mixtures as to season

sixteenth century the Quarterly Review
says:
''Buckuade was the name Of typical
preparation. and this was made of
ment hewn in gobbets, pounded aim
onds, raisins, sugar, cinnamon. cloves,
ginger onions. salt and fried herbs,
thickened with rice -four and cOlored
yellow with saffron
"Momene or mawmony was a sort
of porridge to which the cuisine of
our own day affords no parallel. Its
components were plenty of wine and
sugar, quart Of honey, gallon Of
oil, a pound of powdered spices, to-
gether with ginger, cinnamon and
galangale' (Cyperus longus), plant
much used for davoring. All these
were boiled together with the pound
ed flesh Of eight capons and the mess
served in bowls like porridge, with, ac-
cording to one recipe. a lighted wax
candle stuck In the middle Of each.
'Mortrews, a dish mentioned by
Chaucer in his Canterbury Tales was

name from the mortar in which the
meat used in making it was pounded"

The committee is not in position

But whatever congress does, let the

understand that it is strictly up to
them to take advantage of what is
done, so that the national government
may not count the money lost. The

SAYS CONGRESSMAN BURTON
Commends Movement to Educate Pub
lie Opinion in Favor of More
Liberal Appropriations.

Thomas Z. Burton, chairman of the
congressional rivers and harbors com
mittee. which is making an inspection
tour from St. Paul to ST. Louis, made
the following statement at Burlington:
1T would be unwise and premature
to offer any conjecture about what
congress will do for the upper Missis-
sippi II is not yet settled how large
the next bill will he. 1t is expected
that a river and harbOr bill will be in
troduced and passed at the next ses-
sion. But its amount will depend upon
variety of circumstances, such as the
state of the treasury, the progress
made upon pending river and harbOr
works and the balance on hand avail
able for such work. At the close of
last January over $40.OO0.OO0 was in
the treasury or in sight for river and
harbor work, a sum twice as large as
had been expended in any one year.
In view of this large available balance
it did not seem wise to pass river
and harbor bill.

VIII Decide Rivers Value.

I'VE have looked over the situation
and our conclusions as far as details
are concerned. are hardly in shape yet
to be given out.
Generally, it may be said that the
committee on the trip will decide as
to whether or not the river is valuable
for more than log floating and local
traffic. and if it is, whether or not this
traffic will be extended below Cairo
and St Louis.
Personally, l consider the present
appropriation for the improvement of
the Mississippi to be very scanty. and
for myself and the committee, ] can
assure the citizens that they will be
given an opportunity to test the value
of river transportation if it is avail
able"

.RATHBONES WIN 1T
Story of How the Auxiliary Secured
Recognition From the knights
Pythias in Convention.
VICTORY is A NOTABLE ONE
New Independent Ladies Adjunct to
the Society-Mrs. Belle CuinIan,
Past Supreme Chief, Talks.

Mrs. Belle Quinlan, of Galesburg.
Rathbone Sisters for the past two
years. has returned from Louisville.
Ky. where she has been attending the
biennial sessions of the supreme tenn
pie. and where she appeared before.
the biennial sessions of the Knights
of Pythias. Although she was defeat
ed in her candidacy for reelection as
supreme chief. and did not succeed ir
securing a consolidation of the Rath-
bone Sisters and the Pythian Sister
hood, she did succeed in doing that
for which she has been working so
faithfully during her two years as SUI
preme chief. the recognition of the
Rathbone Sisters by the Knights of
Pythias as the Independent Ladies
Auxiliary to that order.
The whole affair was a complicated
one, and it was after numerous com
mittee meetings and much tact on the
part of Mrs. QuinIan that the rccOgni-
ton was accomplished. 1t has been
the desire of both the Rathbone Sis
tiers and the Pythian SistcrhoOd for a
long time to be recognized as the
Ladies' Auxiliary to the Knights of
Pythias. but neither order felt that il
could be accomplished unless both
consolidated and then appeared in all
their strength before the supreme
lodge of the Knights of Pythias and
ask recognition.
Meet to Consider Date.
A. g
solicitation that the two ladies orders
met at Louisville. Two or three joint
meetings between the Rathbone Sis
ters and the Pythian SisterhOOd were
held and no terms were agreed upon.
Then at a meeting of the Pythian Sis
tcrs alone the members could not
come to terms among themselves and
il was decided not to consolidate and
they adjourned their meeting and left
the city without official announcement
to the RathbOne Sisters of what they
had done. 1t was then impossible fOr
the Rathbone Sisters to negotiate fur
Their with the Pythian SisterhOod and
il looked very much as if the case
was hopeless one for them.
Mrs. Quinlan in company with Mrs.
Ida Weaver. of Boise, Idaho, and Mrs.
Dell p. Glazer. of Fit. Madison. Iowa.
then went before the state of order
committee of the Knights of Pythias
and stated to the committee the Rath-
bone Sisters position in the affair.
Mrs Quinlan making Commute argu
ment. in which she showed that the
failure of consolidation was no fault of
her order. This committee of The
knights of Pythias was about equally
divided among friends of both the
Rathbone Sisters and the Pythian
Sisterhood. so a committee of the
Pythian Sisterhood that had not yet
left the city, was called before them
and this committee made a statement
asking for more time.

Decision Is RecOnsidcred.

That night the state of order com
mite passed upon the recognition of
the Rathbone Sisters as the Lady
Auxiliary and rejected them. The
next morning. which was Sunday. Mrs.
Quinlan went to the Knights of PythiaS
headquarters and there learned the de
Cision. She did not give up hope. but
Immediately sought ont the individual
members of the state of order commit
tee to learn why the Rathbone Sisters
had been rejected. She learned that
a misleading impression had been cir
CuIated that she had asked for more
time 1t was a case of mistaken iden-
tity. however. as it was later learned
that il was Mrs. w. ID. DillwOrth. SUI
preme chancellor of the Pythian Sis
terhOod. that had asked for more time.
The state of order committee then
promised Mrs. Quinlan to reconsider
the question of recognizing the Rath-
bone Sisters as the ladies auxiliary.
which was done Monday afternoon.
Wednesday the committee went before
the supreme lodge of the Knights of
Pythias and after heated discussion
OF two hours. the question was voted
upon and was decided favOrably for
the Rathbone Sisters by a vote of Sc
to AZ Mrs. Quinlan had won her vic
tory and the Rathbone Sisters are now
recognized as the Independent Ladies'
Auxiliary to the knights of Pythias.
The decision is looked upon favorably

The Other Projects.

Every project must be considered.
not alone upon its own merits, but also
in comparison with other projects
equally or more pressing. No doubt
many persons would like to see river
and harbor appropriations very great
ly increased. Ard such increase will
be made if the sentiment of the peo-
pie approves it. 1t has been my eX-
periencc, however, that whenever
there is a scarcity of money in the
treasury or danger that expenditures
will exceed receipts, potent influences
seek to economic upon river and har-
Dor appropriations before all other
classes of expenses incurred by the
government. | have been especially
pleased to note that the Upper Missis-
sippi River Improvement association
and business organizations bordering
on the river, have sought to promote
their interests not so much by large
demands for the Mississippi, as by
seeking to educate public opinion in
favor of moro liberal river and harbor
appropriations
