do up, and are much liked by those of
Dutch or German extraction. Use for
these pickles cucumbers from six to
eight inches in length. Wash and wipe
carefully. Add two pounds coarse salt
TO three gallons OF water, boil and
skim, replacing the water that evap-
crates so as TO keep the same quantity.
Lay the cucumbers in a big stone jar
or keg without a head, placing one
small African red pepper, Il big bunch
of dill seed on the stalk and layer
of grape leaves between each layer.
Proceed in this way until all the GU
cumbers are used, then spread over the
top more dill and a layer of cabbage
leaves. Cover with plate and heavy
stone, and leave for two or three
weeks, while Il quiet fermentation
takes place. At the end of that time
the pickles are done and should be
transparent, with line amber color
and grateful subacid flavor.

USUAL POLICY OF WASHINGTON

A few days ago Northern man,
now residing in Georgia, wrote to
the Macon Telegraph inclosing a
clipping from the New York Trlb-
une in which Booker Washington,
in a speech delivered in the North,
is quoted as having related the fol-
lowing:
"You rarely see negro beggar.
The hand stretched out to you on
the street is seldom a black hand.
This reminds me of certain old
colored man down in Alabama.
Some white men were having a con-
yention near his home, conven-
ton the object of which was to
bring white immigrants into the
South. The old negro asked Col.
Jones. one of the prime movers,
what this convention was doing.
"'Why, Jake, replied the colo
mel, we are trying to bring some
more people into the cOuntry-some
more white people,
"fFo' Gawd, boss, answered the
negro, we got IS many white folks

ALBANIA negro whose usefulness to
the black people will be gone if he
forfeits the respect and confidence
of the white people of the South.
