Steak Bernaise-

AS the delicious French sauce requires
close attention in Its making. 1t is safer to
have butter creamed and the egg beaten
before commencing to broil the steak The
rest of the process can be attended to while
the meat is cooking Rub In a small bowl
four rounded tablespoonfuls Of butter until
creamy. adding a sitting OF paprika and
haH a teaspoonful salt. Beat the yolks of
four eggs in small saucepan and set one
side. In another saucepan put four table,
spoonfuls each hot water and tarragon vim
egar with a slice of onion and cook until
reduced one-half. Strain out the onion, add
the hot vinegar to the beaten egg yolks.
little by little, set the pan over the fire in
hot water bath and stir rapidly as the
egg thickens. AS soon as creamy and thick
take from the fire, add a portion of the
creamed butter, incorporate thoroughly, add
more of the butter. and 80 on until al is in
and we'll blended. Then pour at once over
hot broiled sirloin or tenderloin steak.
When fresh tarragon cannot be obtained q
little OF the fine minced herb is added just
before serving. Minced parsley or chives
are also sometimes used and garlic may be
substituted for the onion.

CANDLE LIGHT IN FASHION.
Curious Novelties for the Dinner
Table.

From the London Express.
Women have realized at last that CANDLE
light is the most booming to their COM
plexions. Candles will therefore be the
only Illumination at smart dinner parties
this winter.
The old drawback that candle light was
depressing has now been removed. Four
candles on a dinner table was not a cheer
ing system of illumination, but the new
scheme provides light for each guest.
In consequence of this boom In candles,
novelties in shades are being displayed in
the fancy shops.
Ladies are learning to make their candle
shades at home" a teacher of art needle
work Informed an Express representative
yesterday.
This is really necessary, as fashion has
decreed that as many as twenty candle
sticks may deck long dinner table, while
others are arranged on the sideboard and
mantelpieces.
1.-The color scheme of the shades must all
agree, and must tone with the table center
and flowers.
"One of the prettiest of the designs is
named the blossom shade, and is COM
posed Of velvet and silken petals to repre-
sent the hostess favorite flower.
Another pattern Is more elaborate. It
is fashioned of white sat tin embroidered in
silver thread. This shade. which adorns
the candle opposite each lady guest, bears
a small circular looking glass in 'front.'
Candle shade games for a dinner
party will quite replace book teas or fancy
dress dinners.
lone novelty is called the eye game
Each shade bears the eye Of dstin-
guished man woman painted on mica.
which lights up as If 1t were alive. The
guests are provided with cards and pencils
attached, and at dessert the shades are
passed round, and the one who guesses the
largest number correctly is awarded
prize"

Starting a Herd Of Hogs.


In beginning pure-bred herd of your
chosen breed the first thing to do Is to get
the type of that breed firmly fixed in your
mind This is best done by Inspecting the
herds of a number of the best breeders and
carefully studying their results. Remem-
Der that one animal rarely sets the type for
a breed and that the type is constantly
changing. For instance. the Poland China
changed from heavy-boned, coarse-eared
animal to a short. hne-boned one and Is
again changing to long sided. coarse
boned type. Visit the fairs and talk with
the exhibitors. strong demand is spring
ing up for hog capable of making the
highest quality of bacon. For this purpose
the long bodied rather than the wide type
is required. good representative of this
type is the large improved Yorkshire. AS
now fixed they should be long bodied with
deep straight sides and triangular hams.
standing well up from the ground; the back
arched, ribs well sprung to the edge of
the loin. and full tanks. Constitution and
vigor are among the greatest requisites.
Some strains approach the wide back and
too fat carcass, but these are to be avoided.

The Outcast Children.

Upton Sinclair, in Success Magazine.
And so, If q chtld-labor law Is inforced
in Chicago It can only be by the vigorous
and determined efforts of a large number
of people,. it can only be because the
women's clubs and the settlements and the
labor unions are willing to organize and
agitate and practice eternal vigilance. In
that way you can have the children turned
out of the packing houses. And then the
question is: Where do they go
In the first place. understand the labor
conditions in the yards; understand that
| there is an enormous foreign population
gathered there, hanging at the bare level
Of existence and willing to work for almost
anything. The unemployed problem Is
chronic-you may go out any morning and
see hundreds of men standing at every door
| where there is a chance for job. Tho
consequence Of this Is that there is a great
get a job and support the family. the
| woman has to go to work. You will find
women working in the yards at all sorts
| of hideous, repulsive ana exhaustive occu-
pations-not merely sewing hams and paint
| Ing cans and wrapping packages, but tend
| ing sausage machines and boning meat and
cleaning ofal.
Most of the houses in Packingtown con-
| sist of two stories, with four small rooms
upon floor. This Is a fiat" which costs
| about 50 month: a family will rent one
will rent out the attic and the cellar. Sim
gle men will rent fat comparatively. and
will lodge as many as a dozen in single
small room, spreading their blankets and
their mattresses upon the floor. Sometimes
two men will own the same Mattress ono
sleeping on it by day and the other by
night.
| Such are the homes Of the children. And
| the mothers being ignorant, there Is, of
course, a great deal Of undertaking and
| disease, and. needless to say. the amount

such conditions OF course, whine the
mothers and sisters are away at work the
smaller children have to keep the house; so
| that you have an increased amount Of a
different kind of child labor-child labor at
home. That Is common everywhere in tene-
| ments-you have read of the "little
mothers" Of the poor; but have never seen
any so small as those 1 saw in Packing
town.
1t Is no portion Of any child-labor pro-
gram of which I have heard that
children should be provided win decent
homes and a means of existence, whenever
| their parents are unable to earn 1t; but
you would think that, at least. the city.
when it turns the children out Of the fac

might CO. In Packingtown, however, the
public schools are inadequate. and the
parochial schools, to which numbers f the
ignorant foreigners send their children, are
shamefully crowded.

Primitive Politics.

John G. lockwood, in the World Today
The political condition of Cuba at the
time the commissioners landed was pc
culiar. 1t was a condition almost incom-
prehensible to one not familiar with the
country: it could not exist in the United
States or in any one of them Briefly
stated, the recent rebellion was a strife be-
tween the two principal political parties,
the moderates and the liberals. The only
significance In these names Is that the
moderates were the administration party
and the liberals the opposition. There has
actually been no issue upon any admin
istrative or economic policy between the
parties. The only difference Is personal.
and the only platform known to the Cuban
politicians Is the opportunity for office
holding. The enunciation of political prin-
ciples by the parties in carefully written
platforms. so essential in the United States,
Is unknown in Cuba. The recent revolt
was purely and simply the natural result
of the most pernicious methods that could
be adopted by dominant party to per-
petuate its power. 1t has been a contest
between the 'ins' and the ''outs."

FIGHT FOR APPLE TRADE.
Canada's Poor Crop Provides Amer
ica's Opportunity.

From the London Express.
The Canadian apple crop season will
yield not more than $4,000 barrels, or
100000 less than last years. and 1t was
made known on the Liverpool fruit import
market yesterday that American exporters
will take advantage of the shortage to at
tempt to capture the English market.
The American supply, on the other hand.
has increased from 100000 to 100000
barrels, the crop in the western states and
New York being the greatest ever known.
Hitherto the apples from these states have
been almost exclusively kept to American
cities. but the enormous increase in the
supply will enable growers to export large
quantities. Already shipping contracts for
100000 barrels have been signed.
The reports on the Canadian apple supply
and those on Canadian corn and canned
foods are satisfactorily different. The corn
will this year yield 90,OOO.OOO bushels or
100000 more than last year, while II, OOO.-
600 salmon have been caught in Canada.
and there is a rising demand for canned
and cured goods from that country.
me Chicago meat exports up to July
have fallen, on the other hand. to 4,sOO.-
600 pounds more than 100000 pounds
less than for the same period last year.

THE LONDON woMAN's POCKET.
Music Sachels Are the Latest Appro-
priation of Smart Business Women.

priation of Smart Business Women.
| From the London Express.
For some weeks past observant business
| men have been wondering If all the bust
| ness women Of London were aspiring prima
| donnas. This was because they all-tall,
short, old and young alike-walked in and
| from their business with music sachels In
! their hands. .
The mystery has now been solved. The
| music sachels are the means by which wo-
| mans greatest grievance-the absence of a
pockets righted. They are now being
| sold as pockets for women Sd -. )
The new pockets are the invention OF q
business woman. They will hold the purse.
| notebook. handkerchief and, IL desired, a
clean blouse, collar and cuffs.
I'VE could not imagine what the unpre-
cedented rush for music sachels meant"
the manager Of a large music warehouse
informed an Express representative on Sat
| urday. Women employed in the city or
| the West End have been 1ocking in to
| buy them. They stared blankly when we
| asked them If they would like Songs or
| music printed on the cases.
Then one of our customers explained to
| us the reason for the rush for sachels.
When pockets were first discarded. she said.
q hanging bag was tied around the waist
| beneath the skirt. This was found to i'm
| pede the pedestrians movement, and a
wrist bag was suggested.
For time it found great favor. but 1t
| also found favor in the eyes OF the pick
pockets, and after many business women
| had lost their purses they began to carry
the contents of their pockets in their hands.
This would not do either for a girl who
had to carry in her right hand a purse,
| handkerchief. umbrella. newspaper, letters
and note book, naturally enough suffered
after while from cramp.
Then the music sachel pocket appeared
and it seems to have solved the problem,
| It is artistic and light, and, as 1t Is tied by
ribbons or strapped. 1t would be too per-
| tlous for the pickpocket to interfere with
it."
The sachels are made to match the frock
A fancy needlework firm is now designing
new patterns, but many girls are making
their own pockets These are in the
| form of a housewives holdalls, which are
| rolled up and secured by a wide band Of
ribbon.

The Poor Old Horse.

We have friend in Irvington who re-
Gently gave away an old horse to a farmer
who he had reason to think would take
good care of the animal rather than ac-
cept SOS offered for 1t by a city express
man, who he thought would abuse and half
starve 1t. The horse Is strong and good
for several years service If properly treated,
but could not endure cruelty. This is an
example worthy of imitation by many who
have such animals. 1t Is a pity to see an
old horse, or one having some blemish that
renders him unsalagle. put into the hands
of some irresponsible. cruel. ignorant or
stingy driver, to be overworked. unsheltered,
beaten and starved till death comes to his
release. Farmers having such animals to
dispose of would better shoot them than
send them to the city. The few dollars
they will bring will not compensate for the
stings the deed will infliet upon their con-
science If they have any.

PASSING OF TEE COUNTRY GIRL.
As Studied at an Old-Fashioned Fair
In Indiana.

From the Indianapolis News.
Thursday was the great day of the Craw-
ford county fair-one OF the kind of fairs
grandfather tells about. the kind he visited
when he was q youngster and used to take
grandma to. only she was not grandma
then.
Formerly the farmer came to the fair
in his old-fashioned Jolt wagon. Now
he comes In q rubber-tired buggy or sur
rey. and in the sea of vehicles here today
are two or three fashionable traps" and
an automobile or two. He is better dress
lily.
The old-fashioned country girl depleted
on the stage In the so-called rural plays
Is not seen at the fairs any more. The
stage country girl has passed away. Nc
more loose-hanging linsey-woolsey dresses
and heavy, hob-nailed shoes. no more red
sashes knotted about the waist that makes
her resemble an animated meal sack. The
little old sunbonnet has been laid aside
forever.
Handsome gowns true to the latest fash
lon plates. high-heeled shoes and open-work
hose, and picture hat; peek-a-boo waists
and. for that matter. sometimes q little
moro peek-a-boo than the peek-a-boo waist
Of her city sister: three-story gloves OF
elbow sleeves-the country girl of today Is
q poem In dress. and she knows all the
wrinkles in tho dressmaker's art. Times
are good and pap" has the money
A glance over the great crowd OF women
and girls here today would cause one to
imagine himself in an Indianapolis park.
And you don't get introduced to any
more Charlottes. or Nancys or Betsys. No
indeed! Now you meet Lotties and Maymes
and Bessies and Maudies.
The average country girl today is a step
or two ahead of the country boy. But a
big change has come to him. also. He does
not go around with his trousers in his
boots and chewing a straw. His clothes are
not from the top shelf any more. They
are made to order. Once in q while you
meet a youth wearing shirt Of clamorous
colors and a celluloid collar and pulling
q cigar that sheds the odor Of dried onions
but he is rare. He soon finds that he is
outclassed. and he realizes that If he ex-
poets to keep company with the Maymes
and Lottes and Bessies he must get In
the procession and be up to date.
