pH1LApET.p .pHTA,s OWN DISH.


 Philadelphia is the only city that makes scrapple, and the Philadelphia scraDple industry, which begins in September and ends in April, is now at it's height. The factories are turning out 100000 pounds a. week, and the. Pennsylvania farmers are adding thou sands of pounds more to this great mass. In every Philadelphia restaur- ant scrapple is the favorite breakfast dish, and there is no food product so largely exported at this time. The fol- lowing are the Ingredients that enter into the de1ectable compound: Hogs heads hogs liver, Indian meal, buck wheat, rye -four, spring water, salt and pepper, marjoram, theyme sage, parsley allspice.
 Scrapple comes in oblong cases that are about eighteen inches long and twelve inches wide and six inches dep. It Is pale brown in color, with black, rich-looking norsels-pieces of choice meat-scattered through it in profuson. It comes out of the tin whole like a mould of ice-cream, and it is of the thickness of ice-cram that has been very firmly frozen. To prepare it for the table is a quick and simple mat ter. You merely cut off thin slices and fry them in their own fat over a hot fire.-Leslie's Weekly.

COLLARS AND MORALS.

It is a remarkable oversight on the part of our social and moral reformers that they have never investigated how far a mans character is determined by the fashion of his collar. There is ob- viously a wide and interesting field open to the inquirer who scratches the statistics of crime on this matter. How many criminals, for instance, brought to justice during the last twen- ty years, wore high collars? It is an acknowledged fact that there are more male than female criminals How far is this due to the fact that, speaking generally, the female costume has greater "constraining power'' than that worn by the male members of the com munity?
 The idea of the moral influence of dress, though at first starting, is not without historic precedent. Was no! clothing one of the first results of the fall, and may we not consider the sunptuary laws of our forefathers to have been caused by some faint glim-

CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH.

In the Church of the Messiah Sunday morning Subjective and Objective Re- ligion'' was the theme of the discourse delivered by the pastor, Rev. W. F. Dickerman. Several scripture texts were given Illustrating both qualities of religion, followed by a forcible presen- tation of each.
 Religion needs expression, and its mode is in accord with the temper of the individual. For more than thou sand years an effort was made to com- |pel an expression of religious belief in certain forms. This proved a failure, and there exists to-day a greater varie- ty than ever. Great cathedrals are pyr- amids of the religious expression of past generations, by which they are yet speaking to us. There is at present no strenuous tie of religious emotion, as formerly prevailed but rather an incli- nation to get away from subjective re- ligion. There is prevalent sort of otherism, and tendency to look with
 disfavor on such as are most concerned in saving themselves There is in this .otherisin' 8 danger of losing ones soul when one does not apparently grow in grace, though gracious toward others. we cannot neglect the subjective re- ! ligion. It stimulates it's possessor to
 render generous and reasonable service
 for others When the individual is con
 secrated by deep religious life, and the fountains of love and hope are ever flowing, such service is more beautiful
 and satisfying.
 l Wesley and his colleagues were illus.
 trious examples of subjective religion who also devoted themselves to it's cul-
 tivation in others Where there is nc
 deep faith, no vision of God in the heart
 many suffer beyond expression in the
 midst of severe aff1iction. If anchored
 to a great hope we can meet with calm
 mess and fortitude the deepest sorrows | of life

 Baltimore. but did not think the mu- nicipality was in immediate need of funds. A special act of the legislature has been passed empowering the city, to borrow $2,0O0,00O, if necessary.
 Congressman F. c. Wachter, of this city, also called on the mayor to learn if congress could do anything. A bill has been introduced in congress appro- priating s1,000,000 to this city, and MT. Wachter said the bill would be passed hastily through both houses if the city wanted the money. The mayor replied that he as yet had seen nothing to jus tify an appeal for aid
 Offers of aid from outside continue to pour in on the mayor, and messages of sympathy without number are still ac- cumulating at the city hall. Among those received to-day was a communi- cation from D. Falconio, the apostolic delegate at Washington, containing the following from the pope:
 Rome, Feb 10.-fIis holiness, deeply moved by the news of the great calam- ity which recently visited the city of Baltimore, desires your excellency to convey to the honorable mayor and the people of Baltimore his sincere sympa- thy. He says that they can stand the severe loss their city has suffered, and 1t fill continue to progress.
 (Signed) Cardinal Merry del val.''

 Governor Warfield refused to sign the resolution passed by the house of dele- gates yesterday censuring Brigadier General Riggs of the state militia, and summoning him to appear before the bar of the house. to answer a charge os exceeding his authority, and the house rescinded it's action of yesterday after hearing a statement by Riggs. The specific complaint against General Riggs was that he had refused to recog- niize passes signed by the governor to the members of the legislature admit ting them within the fire lines, but Governor Warf1eld said that General Riggs refusal was to be commended instead of being condemned, and hence his refusal to sign the resolution so this is a closed incident.

mering of an important principle? We always associate the loose, fiimsy col lars and uneonstrained costume of the Cavaliers with a corresponding loose system of morals, and the straight-cut, stiffer and more constrained garments os the Puritans with stricter moral system. The late MT. Gladstone was as universally known by his collars as by his uprightness. Who would be daring enough to dognatize as to which was the cause and which the effect?
 Further inquiries into this interesting subject may show that when we ad- naire a man of high character we are simply praising the result and over another aspect of the matter. Do you properly appreciate our ciear-strachers, who are. in the care of our collars. proving themselves to be the real cus- todians of public morals? Yet, we nev- CT hear of a Iaundress being presented at court or decorated with an order of merit.
 An old proverb has 1t that no man is 8 hero to his valet. This must mean that no one but mans valet has such opportunities of studying his character without the support of his collar. Such
 being the case, the practical question
 arises, if collars influence conduct, is
 it not the duty of the state, as the
 guardian of public morals, to make the
 wearing of stiff collars compulsory? Tn short, since we muzzle our dogs to
 stamp our hydrophobia, ought we not to
 collar our men to eliminate crime? Instead of flning wrongdoer, or sen tencing him to a short or longer term of l imprisonment, he should be ordered to
 add another inch or so to the height of l his collar, and thus collars would be- come barometers, as it were, indicating
 the state of the morals of the wearer.-- 1 London Daily Mirror.

LETTER FROM UPTON
Wishes to Race Again but With Differ
 ent Style of Boat.

New York, Feb. 11.-A letter from Sir Thomas Lipton has been received by the officials of the New York Yacht club with reference to a fourth chal- lenge for the Americas cup. This fact was brought out at the annual meeting of the club tonight, although the pre- siding officer declined to scay whether the letter was a formal challenge or the preliminary to a challenge. It was the general opinion of the members that Sir Thomas had signified his desire to issue challenge. but was anxious that yachts of some other type should wage the battle.
 The letter was referred to a commit tee of five, which will be appointed , later by the chairman. They will cor respond with Sir Thomas, and when matters have been arranged satisfacto- rily the correspondence will be given out.

BEACON LODGE. N. B. Q. P.
A Successful Entertainment Given
 rIr-.---..... II.II

A Successful Entertainment Given at
 Warner Hall.
 Beacon Lodge, No. 69. N. E. o. P, one of the largest and one of the most popular of the many N. E. o. P. lodges in this city, gave very successful and enjoyable entertainment at Warner Hall Monday night. The gathering was large and enthusiastic one. Ex- President of the Board of Aldemmen and Chairman of the Committee of Ar arrangements, George Wallace. welcomed the audience and gave brief address on the aims and objects of the New England Order of Protection, which he said was not only one of the largest (confined as it was to the New England states), but also one of the best of the many fraternal organizations in the country. The entertainment. which was carried through under the direction of the veteran councilman, Gus Wendell, was a great success and immensely en- joyed by the large audience. Of the va rious artists who appeared, special mention might be made of Miss Rebec- ca Dale Harris, whose perfect rendering of Bonnie Sweet Bessie" was roundly applauded. Master Albert B. Brill's song and dance conceptions were equal | ly pleasing and well received. As was also the popular ballard singing of John T. Barrett. Ronald Charles Mus tarde's selections on the violin were finely executed and received with hear ty applause by the audience Gus Wendell was as usual, the special at traction, and his clever limitations were well received. A special word of praise | is also due the Lehman tots, Herman and Emily. The dance which followed the concert was largely attended, and the grand march was led by Floor Di- rector James E. Donnelly and Mrs. P R. Stetson. The large affair was a complete success and reflected great credit on the committee of arrange ments, which was as follows: George ] Wallace, James B. Ritchie. George N Andrews, Mrs. J. E. Donnelly, Mrs C. T. Jones. Charles H. Harris, Alex. P. Stevenson, Mrs. Ada c. Coe, Mrs. c. H Harris, Mrs. c. Kransman; floor direc- tor, James F. Donnelly; floor commit tee, George H. Copeland, John Hume, James H. Macleod, Andrew E. Hennes- sy, John J. Kennedy, James McWil- Hams and James B. Snow.

MIR. HoWELLs ON ENGLISH AND
 AMERICAN PLAYS.

Mir. Howells, who is now writing eve-
 ry week for Harper's Weekly, contrib
 utes to the current issue of that jour-
 nal an interesting article on some re- |cent English and American dramas. He
 suggests striking distinction between
 certain characteristic foreign and na-
 tive plays Those which he has lately
 seen, he says-such as 'The Admirable Crichton," "Whitewashing Julia" can dida," '7rhe County Chairman" "Her Own Way" Glad of It, "Our New
 Minister" and 'sThe Other Girl''-divide themselves broadly into two sorts ac- cording to their nationality; the domes- tic sort and the society sort. 'The Eng fish plays have to do with man as a so- ciety man, both in the narrower and the wider sense, and the American plays have to do with man as a family man; [ with us the main human interest is the home and with the English the
 main human interest Is society. But lest we should be unduly proud of our difference from the English in this point, I hasten to suggest that this is
 because in the narrower English sense we have no society, and if we have a great deal of home, it is because we are still almost entirely rustic in origin, and preponderantly simple in our concep- tions of happiness In the wider sense we certainly have society; and it is a defect of our play-wrighting that it does not carry over from the home to hufnan- l ity.''

Two Russian naval vessels, the Variag and Korietz, were in Chemulpo harbor and attempted to prevent the landing of Japanese forces. but with no suc- cess. The foreign naval vessels, the minister says, were generally leaving the harbor. There was report thac the Japanese naval vessels had cap tured Russian transports off Makpo on the 9th.
 The second dispatch says:
 A running naval engagement took place in Chemulpo harbor, beginning about noon. The Variag and the Kor- ietz again attempted to escape, but failed. The variag was injured. On their return the Japanese naval ves- sells announced officially that they would attack the place at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. At the latter hour the Korietz blew up and sank. She was a slow vessel which made it difficult for her to escape The Japanese naval ves- sells attacked the Variag from outside the harbor until she sank.
 Twenty-Five hundred Japanese troops are in Seoul"

GIVEN BY TWO BLIND ARTISTS.

A capital musical and humorous en- tertainment was given by John and Mary Mckay at the Foy auditorium, Y. M. c. A. building, last evening. It evil denced remarkable musical ability. MT. McKay's impersonations were excellent. Their skilful rendering of their selec- tions made it difficult to be lieve that the artists were blind, as many artists with sight are inferior to these blind artists. The while programme was en- joyed by the audience.
