THE VALUE OF ORANGES.
tt eJ Are Most Attractive for Table
Decorations-Vario Ways
to Serve Them.

Oranges are charming for decoration.
of the table, as well as for food. When
placed upon the table whole, a few
green leaves should be placed around
them; the leaves need not, necessarily,
be orange leaves, but other pretty, green
leaves may be used, if the orange leaves
are not to be had. When to be eaten at
the table, there are several ways of han
ding them. Cutting them across and cat
ing with spoon has the drawback that
the juice flies about disagreeably By
cutting little circle around the core in
the center this unpleasant feature may
be counteracted. Another way is to cut
them in eighths with the skin on, and
sip the juice from these little portions.
One method of preparing them for the
table is as follows: Cut with a sharp
knife a narrow girdle around the cis-
cumference of the orange, half way from
the stem to the blossom end; remove all
the rind except the narrow girdle; Just
over one of the divisions of the fruit out
the rind band through with a knife.
Then carefully separate the natural
divisions of the orange, leaving each at
tached at it's back to the strip of rind. It
is very convenient and comfortable to
eat oranges prepared in this way, as
there is no trouble with the juice or peel
ing.-The Commoner.

Nesselrode Pudding

This is an extra troublesome pudding
to make, but is very delicious. Line the
bottom of an ice-cream mold with thin
slices of sponge cake that have been
soaked in sherry wine; put layer of all
sorts of candied and preserved fruits ON
this, cut up very fine; then more cake,
and so on until the mold is nearly full.
Make a custard of quart of milk, sugar
to taste and six egg yolks, with a cake
of grated chocolate; add two tablespoon
fuls dissolved gelatin boiling hot,
strain and let cool; pour this over the
cake and fruit in the mold, seal careful
ly and pack in ice. When turned out it
makes beautiful dish. Serve with
whipped cream sweetened and favored
to taste.

DUNBAR.

The world and the race have
been charitable to the memory OF
the sweet poet, Paul Laurence
Dunbar, and only in last Sundays
Post appeared an article from the
pen of F. w. White, staff writer
of that paper, eulogizing the late
poet and his literature. Like Rob.
ert Burns the Scotch poet and Ed
gar Allen Poe, our own American
singer of symathetic songs, weak
in the virtues of personal restraint,
Dunbar sang for others even while
suffering himself. His theme was
universal sentiment and the world
stopped to listen. Dunbar did not
write for the race or for himself,
else he would have been only the
poet of class, but he wrote of
humanity and brotherhood, hence
the world stopped to listen and ap-
plaud. The white press and critics
have been as prolific in singing
Dunbar praise as those of his own
race, and they as well as ourselves
feel his loss.
The nature of the music is not
less sweet and harmonious if it
comes from the throat of blue or
red, yellow or black bird. 1t is
not the color of the bird but the
cadence and melody of the music
that is soothing, inspiring and up
lifting. Dunbar sang for the mass
es and the peoole heard him glad
ly and sorrowed when his voice
was hushed in death and his songs
heard no more among the living.
What he has left is a legacy, not
to the Negro race alone but to all
those who love the beautiful and
feel the aesthetic. Dunbar still lives
in the souls he has cheered.

PUBLIC UTILITY CORPORATIONS.

Franchises are the subjects up
permost in the minds of Denver
its at this time. Confusion and
pandemonium will result if the
franchises are not voted.
The courts will be appealed to
and the battle will be taken out of
the hands of the people aud forced
into the courts to drag out Il long
and costly controversy.
Denverites have had enough
friction and taxpayers enough con
fusion and expense in settling the
Rush bill and its complications
Voters ought not to repeat that
mistake again very soon.
The duty of the voter is to
give his heartiest support tc
the franchises asked for by
the Denver Gas and Electric Co..
and the Denver City Tramway Co
The Negro cannot afford to oppose
progress and the purpose of voting
the franchises means a larger Den,
yer and with the growth of the city
comes also more business and
greater opportunities for employ,
ment and more circulation of cap
ital. Where all are benefited the
colored people are certain to get
their share.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-04-28
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALAMITY.

The Nation is beginning to re-
cover from its delerium and amaze
ment at the terrible calamity
which has befallen the chief city
of the West and on their recovery
are beginning to analyze some of
the lessons that such a catastrophe
as the San Francisco horror teach
es. First and foremost, is the
spirit of sympathy and charity
that is in the human heart to rem
der aid and succor to those who
are destitute and in distress. The
charity and provisions and money
poured into the stricken city from
every part of the United States
shows that sympathy is at no time
dead but only real necessity to
call it forth. If needs move SYM
pathies and effectually lift men
out of sordidness and selfishness
than the awful loss in San Fran
cisco has its compensations. Sec
ondly, some foolish souls dodge
thought and excuse meanness by
blaming God for every hard thing
in life and take all the nice things
to themselves; only thinking of
God when mystery and suffering
are TO be explained. But the Gen.
turies of Gods dealing with the
races establishes his justice and
mercy cannot be ruthlessly shaken.
1t will do much for humanity if
these now aroused sympathies may

what are their amusements, dis
fractions, surrounding and dissipa-
tions? MIR. Dunbar throws a
whole flood of light on this really
large section of our population.
We see the high class Negro as he
is to himself and to those of
his own kind-in his home. in his
own special theaters and places OF
enjoyment, in his clubs and church
es-and we come to know all about
his opportunities and temptations
and what he does and thinks from
day to day. 1t is a most curious
revelation of a whole stratum of
society of which all of us are dense
ly ignorant and of whose very ex-
istence most of us are densely ig-
norant and of whose very existence
most of us are wholly unaware.
Our readers will thank US if they
follow our advice and look up this
exceptionally interesting and of
ten rather startling book"
Dunbar, as l say, was then ex-
tremely sensitive and quite-per-
haps justly-vain of his position
and literary gifts. He resented
doing anything very well and not
having it fully appreciation.
Il have written some exception
ally good matter for the newspapers
at times" he said, but no one e.
en- cared to know who the writer
was or what brain conceived it."
He seemed to think it rank
injustice to have good stuff merged
in anonymity.
And yet that happens every day
in the newspaper world. The
highest excellence of literary art is
frequently in the composite whole
Of high class daily.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-04-28
CONCERNING THE NURSERY
Paint Is Best for the Walls-Ventila-
tion Must Be Seen To-Furni-
ture Suitably Low.

Oil-painted walls are the ideal hn-
ish for the nursery or for children's
rooms generally. They may be washed
easily; the finish does not flake off and
fill the air with impalpable dust, as
do water colors under the, same cir-e
cumsatnces, and the surface of the
oil paint will defy the fingers of the
little ones in their more mischievous
moods when the desire seiZes them to
investigate the component parts OF
of the family home. Where the purse
will permit, the ornamenting of
walls of the nursery may become y
step of genuine Importance. The ideal
coloring CT the walls for the nursery
when plain is a soft olive green with
bright tan ceiling. This is good for
the eyes and the nerves and offers a
lesson in harmonious colorings.
Correct ventilation should be had
from the top of the windows either by
means of a wheel introduced into the
upper window pane or by the construc-
ton of transom six inches or more
deep, which shall extend quite across
the window, and which may be let
down from the top, making V-shaped
opening, and not open from the top,
making an inverted V. The latter
would direct current of air upon the
heads of the occupants. The former
would make an injurious draft impos-
sible If the windows are lower than
four feet from the floor they should be
provided with bars or strong wire lat
tice or screens. Window shields for
the nursery are sold in many styles,
both simple and costly.
The best floor treatment is hard oil,
with small rugs about that may bes
taken up and shaken each morning.
satisfactory crib is of enameled
iron with no ornament. For tiny chill
dren it should be provided with a
muslin valance adjusted around th&
top of the frame so as to protect the
little sleeper within from all drafts.
This should be of the simplest mus
lin that may be laundered every week
or as often as the rest of the linen. A
low built in seat, foot or less high,
is a convenience for the child and
removes him from all temptation to
sit long on the floor, where, if any
where, drafts are to be felt.
Unless the regularly made nursery
furniture adapted to child stature is
bought a small kitchen table may be
enameled either white or blue. Old
chairs in the same way may be short
ened and painted. A cot may serve
instead of built in seat, and should be
cut low for juvenile convenience.
A toy box should be constructed, and,
if possible, a play cupboard in which
play pinafores may be hung. And if
the little one be taught to put away
both toys and aprons at night the tirst
lessons in neatness, which lead to the
formation of helpful habits, will have
been learned.-Chicago Tribune.

DENvER'S HOSPITALITY.

Denver has been munificent in
its bounty and care for the San
Francisco wanderers. 1t has, dur
ing the past week, cared for, fed
and clothed train loads of sufferers
as they passed through our city.
Many Denverites who were in
San Francisco at the time of the
disaster have returned to the city
and parents and friends are made
happy in greeting them again.
