SOME VEGETABLE DISHES.
Vegetable Salads Very Appetizing
This Time of Year-The Value
of Carrots.

have lately noted an especially
ing these spring days: Cook some
tips of asparagus, some string beans
and a carrot, boiling each until quite
tender in sailed water; have the
beans in Pinch lengths and cut into
slender strips; the asparagus stalks
may be used for soup, as only the ex-
IRENE tips are nice in this salad.
Chill couple of tomatoes and some
of the small spring onions called
shallots; these must be carefully
peeled and then cut into inch lengths.
Place a leaf of lettuce on a salad
plate and lay the asparagus tips in a
little pile at one side, slice or two
of tomato and a little heap of the
beans on the other; wash and cut
couple of new radishes into rounds
and lay them in another small heap
next the beans Serve very cold with
be found delicious.
1t is a pity carrots are not better
liked; they are both cheap and whole
some, something that can not be said
of many eatables. They should not
be peeled, but well washed and
scraped; put on in boiling sailed
water and cook until perfectly ten
der; but they should not cook to a
mushy condition; drain and they
may then be served whole in a plain
white sauce. or be sliced lengthWise
and dipped in batter, then fried a
nice brown in very hot fat. Carrots
are excellent boiled, mashed, sea-
soned with plenty of butter and salt
and pepper, a little milk added and
baked like mashed potatoes. They
flavor ioups and stews better than
any other vegetable and should be
used plentifully at this season.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Rhubarb Charlotte

Butter a pudding dish thickly and
line with strips of bread cut one inch
wide and half an inch thick. Fill the
dish with alternate layers of rhubarb
cut in small pieces and very thin little
slices of bread well buttered. Sprinkle
the rhubarb layers thickly with sugar.
Make the top layer of bread, cover
closely and bake three hours in slow
oven. Take out of the oven and let
stand half an hour. then turn on to a
plate. The charlotte ought to keen

FASHION NOTES.

The newest race and motor wraps are
made of dyed shantung silks.
White cloth of the most supple make
and trimmed with Venise or Irish lace
has been adapted for dinnar gowns.
A novelty material is a very fine
reseda mixture with orange pin-stripe
running through it.
There are many new cloths shown
this season, though the plain chiffon
broadcloths are in the vanguard of
fashion.
Both tie water-blue and natural
shantung silk are being utilized for
simple short waists with soft cambric
embroidered turn-down collar and
cuffs.
Some of the summer white embroid-
cred gowns, inlet with insertions of
Valenciennes, fiounces and medallions.
are veritable works of art, and costly
withal.
Paris has declared that white is still
to be first favorite; and then, with the
charming inconsistency for which she
is famous, has sent over fascinating
muslins, with the color note contrived
by means of embroidery, in true French
blue, which shares honors with the en-
broidery done in white, the two being
on the same piece.-Brooklyn Eagle.

SAN FRANCISCANS OWE MUCH

History Records Heroic Fight Against Odds Than
Soldiers Preside


There has been unlimited criticism
of the national guardsmen and they
have been compared unfavorably with
their regular comrades. This is not
altogether fair. The California ma
tional guardsmen have the making of
splendid soldiers. They are not vet

campaign to make them so. They were

pushed into the smoke and confusion
under conditions more trying than bat
tie, and told to be as steady and show
as ripe judgment AS the regulars. Like
young recruits on outpost in lonely
land, there were times when the temp
tation to hear the sound of their own
rifles was greater than they could
withstand Most of the stories Of
wanton shooting on the part of any Of
the troops proved, however, on being
run down, to have originated in the
superheated imagination Of somebody
unused to the severity Of military
regime. 1t is a shock to a free, self
governing American city to suddenly
see all law, all government, concen-
trated in the person of a young man
with a magazine rifle, pacing across
the street, stopping Syehicles, pedes-
TRANS, civil officials, and all, and di-
recting the coming and going OF all
classes with impartiality. 1t gives
the average citizen a peculiar aud per-

triumphs she had not dared to hope,

story of horror from San Francisco
such as would have appalled, the ages.
Civil law would have been impotent,
crime unchecked. Looting would have
become an industry, ravishing and

Praise for Men of the Navy.
In praising the regulars it must
not be forgotten that the term ap-
plies generically to the men of the
navy as well as the army, and
that navy includes marine corps.
To Capt. Mcbride, of the navy, and
the men from Mare Island navy yard

that thoroughfare. These men, vet

magnitude in ordinary times, proved
to be the sacrifice that saved the pleas

hind him while the other, with quick
motion, reached for the mask to tear
it from the mans face. Twice his
fingers clutched at the mask, then, just
as the sergeant sprang forward, the
man fell back as If frightened, and
stood staring in establishment at the
masked one.
The man in the mask smiled slightly.
The other assailants, when the
sergeant grabbed them, released the
man and all three of the young roi-
sterers were placed under arrest.

AS usual, the victim of the assault
was requested to accompany the ar
resting officer and enter complaint
against his assailants. He bowed his
aequiescence to the officer, and an in
slant later had disappeared as If off

three prisoners standing dumb with

one who attempted to tear the mask
from the face of the mystery told to
his friends of the cafes and concert
halls the strangest thing of all. He de-
clared that the mask was no mask
but rart of the face of the man. He
vowed that either some thin material
had been pasted to the skin, or that
the mask was strip of skin itself, coll
ored with some pigment.

revealing, yet concealing them, was a
silken or eel skin mask.
From the nearby tables it could be
seen that he was disguised, but from
any greater distance the mask was not
noticeable.
Some smiled, thinking he had
dropped in on his way to a masked
ball, and but little attention was paid
to him. A detective who noticed him
gave him a little thought, then dis
missed any suspicious he might have
had.
The man dined well, handed the
waiter a liberal fee, strolled out into
the boulevard, and walked away.
The next appearance of the mask
was at the Comedie, where he was in
one of the premiere loges. The fact
that he was masked attracted consider
able comment among those near
enough to detect the half transparent
pigment drawn across the handsome
face. 1t attracted so much attention
that one of the house detectives ap-
preached his seat and spoke to him.
The man made a slight gesture of an
noyance and dissent, and continued to
watch the performance.
Sworn Never to Unmask.
The little scene was witnessed by
scores, and the next day the mystery
of the man in the mask began to take
shape. He appeared that day walk
ing on the Boulevard Poissonniere late
in the evening, and later he appeared
in the Cafe de Paris, behind the
opera.
Really, it was there that he became
a mystery. A crowd of merrymakers,
noticing the mask, called TO him, and
without hesitation he joined them,
seating himself at the table with them
and drinking wine. His speech and
manner indicated high breeding and
refined manners. II he knew any of
the party, he concealed the fact, and
when they, after some time, spoke Jest
ingly of the mask, he appeared slight
ly annoyed.
Take it eff, let us see your face"
remarked one.
81 have sworn never again to un-
mask" he replied, quietly.
That remark, the only one so far as
is known that he ever has condescend-
ed 10 make concerning the mask, made
him in a moment enc of the most in
teresting features of Paris. The re-
mark was repeated everywhere, AMI
one Of the journals printed something
about him.
All Paris Talks of Him.
From that evening he was famous.
Everyone in Paris, that is, all who
frequent the boulevards, the theaters,

him and wondered who he was and
why he wore the mask. He went

investigation found the condition of
the apartment In which Cushman lay

had not moved out of the room, and as
no attempt had been made TO observe

the apartment and of, the man himself
was such as to cause wonder that death

Dr. Ever ordered Cushman removed

Western Pacific Has to Fight in
Courts for Depot
Site.

OAKLAND, July 17.-Of the great
number of condemnation suits that
have been brought by the Western Pa
cific Railway Company In this county

of the piece of ground for camping pur-
poses 1t is worth much more.

ton suits to be litigated by the new
railroad company in the local courts.

pearance Of William Day, a rancher
