Historic Scenes Re-enacted

Lawrence and the arrival Of that dar-
ing voyageur, jacques Cartier, who
set forth with hardy crew Of pious
Bretons from st. Malo, Brittany, in
1885, discovered the st. Lawrence
river and implanted on its banks be-
fore the wondering gaze of the Indians
of Stadin and Stadacone (afterward
Quebec) the cross and the feur-de-lis.
Cartier was voyageur, pathfinder
among woods and waters, while
Champlain, who came later, was more
than that. He was in addition a
builder of settlements, homemaker,
founder of a permanent base from
which France was to conduct years of
campaigns for supremacy over the
vast territory and wonderful wealth
Of the new world. And so Champlain
must be made the central figure of the
commemorative exercises, for he was
the founder of Quebec in July, 1908, on
the site Of the Indian encampment Of
Stadacone. About two years later he
wrote proudly Of Quebec as having
attained a population Of 200, Cham
plains original force having numbered
twenty-eight souls.
Champlain will be shown at the court
OF Henry Of Navarro and rewarded for
his exploits in the wars Of the League
and as navigator in the West Indies
and La Cadie. Then a replica of
Champlain's original ship, the Don de
Die, with the lofty poop and ancient
gear Of the days Of Sir Walter Raj
e1gh and Sir Francis Drake, will la
bor1ously make her way up the st.
Lawrence to the very spot where, 800
years ago, Champ1a1n himself stepped

clustered on the shrouds and spars
to lend added picturesqueness to the
scene. A parade will then form on
shore to escort Champlain and his
company up the great rock to the Up
per Town. This procession will be
peculiarly appropriate In its make
up, containing Quebec, Ottawa and
Montreal townsfolk costumed to repre-
sent individuals, companies, soldiers
and sailors that aided in the founda-
ton and perpetuation as well as his

Tlminu Meals,

This is an important part Of serv-
Ice, and one which the most expert
enced housewife is prone to overlook.
If dinner is to be served at six o'clock,
do not start in at three o'clock to get
it.
If there be slow-cooking vegetables,
beans, beets, etc, it is a more trou-
blesome thing to manage, but usually
they can be put on in plenty of water
and a low fire-and forgotten. Des-
serts should, If possible, be made in
the morning. Then spend the after
noon as fancy dictates, or, at least,
with other duties, leaving the kitchen
and its worries behind for while.
But-"hustle" at the last hour. Fair
ly fly from potato masher to gravy
spoon, and make the coffee, dish the
vegetables, all at once, apparently.
What matter If 1t causes last-minute
furry; the dinner will be piping hot,
and the rush will bring a color to
your cheeks vastly more becoming
than the dragged-out appearance of
her who has puttered about the cook
ing all the afternoon.
For work, long-drawn out, and bad
ly managed, makes woman seem
much buster than she really is, and
gives her that martyr-like air which.
once given up to, hastens all kinds
of bodily and mental alls. For she

Fishy Facts.

The popular superstition abOut hsh
being a good brain food has gone the
way of many such theories-a victim
to facts and science. But they do con-
tain large supply of phosphorus and
are .healthful diet. The white-feshed
fish, cod, herring, etc., are less rich
than the darker varieties, and are
easier OF digestion.
To test fish see that the scales are
firm and shiny; the eyes bright; the
flesh sweet. Always wash them well
in cold water.
Add a dash of spice to The water in
which fish are boiled. In timing them,
allow about ten minutes to the pound.
In baking fish, always cash the
sides and lay therein strips Of salt
pork. Allow more time for baking
than for boiling.
Garnishing-The best are slicked
lemon and parsley.
The best sauces are lemeR, drawn
butter or tomato sauce. With boiled
fish the following recipe for mushroom
sauce is good:
Boil half small can Of mushrooms
20 minutes. Drain, chop ane and stir
into cupf1Sl of drawn butter. Add a
little pepper and the juice Of half a
lemon. Simmer together Eve min
utes and pour hot over the ash.

Chinese Crackers.

In China they make a peculiar
cracker-peculiar only IN appearance,
however, for it tastes like an ordin-
ary cracker. But it is Jet black in
color, obtained by using carboniZed
cracker dust. The Chinese keep a
small quantity of these in the tea
caddy to serve with afternoon tea. The
tea imparts a favor as well as an
odor to the biscuit.
With his fondness for extremes, the
ChinamaA has also very white
cracker-made of rice -four, the
whitest Of all fours. The pure white
dainties are all made very hard and
sweet, and this sweetening agent Is
sorghum syrup, in the making Of
which the Chinese excel Both the
black and white crackers are
manufactured as novelties and are
not commonly used.
Another curiosity in Chinese house
hold economy Is their method Of pre-
serving butter. They roR It up into
a casing of pure cheese. Each pre-
serves the other, so that butter may
be thus kept for 20 years. And It is
nothing unusual to send this "ball'
butter on the backs Of camels In sacks
OF a 15-months' journey. If the butter
has been properly worked up within
the outer cheese covering It will be
perfectly fresh. Nor is the cheese
spoiled-the butter keeping It soft and
fresh.

Sheffield Plate.

We cannot all be connoisseurs, but
there are a few hallmarks with which
We all can be familiar; and 1t is well
to inform ourselves about this plate
now, as there are some excellent imi.
tations on the market, and for those
who cannot afford the original a good
copy is very consoling. A special
mark of the Sheffield is the gadroon
edge, the she'll patterns, and the odd
combinations Of severely plain cen
ters and elaborate handles. A re.
vival of the old fashion is found in the
graceful cake basket with tall handle
and pierced work, while the toasted
cheese dish, with its four compart.
ments, is a quaint reminder of an ol6
fashion, which, like the silver egg
boiler, has fallen rather into disuse.
These latter have cups, and salt and
pepper casters fitted into light frame
of cable pattern.
The pretty custom which our grand
mothers had of boiling the eggs al
breakfast table has been superseded
by the more fashionable chafing dish
for which the following Is an excellent
recipe: Brown evenly round slices OF
bread. Cut cold boiled ham in thin
round slices, put it on the bread and
pour over them hot rarebit to which
has been added a dash of mustard.

INVITED BY
THE PRESIDENT
TO JOIN IN CONFERENCE ON
THE NORTH AMERICAN
RESOURCES,
TO BE HELD AT WHITE HOUSE
Are the Mexican and Canadian Gov
ernments-February 10 Is the
Date Fixed For the
Event.

Washington, Dec. 28-Announce
ment was made at the white house
Sunday of a plan for an international
conference looking toward the con.
servation Of the natural resources Of
North America, to be held at the white
house February 18 next.
Letters suggesting the plan have
been addressed by President Roosevelt
to the governor general and premier
of Canada and to President Diaz, Of
Mexico. They will be delivered to tho
oticials in person by Clifford Pinchot,
chairman of the national conservation
commission, and chief forester of the
United States, whom President Roose
velt has chosen as his personal repre-
sentative. This is the outgrowth Of
the two conservation conferences held
in Washington in which the governors
of the states and territories were the
principal conferees.
In the presidents letter to Lord
Grey, governor general Of Canada, the
result Of the two recent conferences
are stated and their Importance point
ed out.
1T is evident" the president writes,
''that natural resources are not limited
by the boundary lines which separate
nations, and that the need Of conserV.
ing them upon this continent Is as wide
as the area upon which they exist. In
view, therefore, of these conditions,
and of the close bonds of friendship
and mutual aims which exist between
Canada and the United States, take
especial pleasure in inviting you to
designate representatives of the gov
ernment of Canada to meet and con-
suit with representatives of the state
and other departments of this govern.
ment, and the national conservation
commission in the city of Washington
on February IS, 1909.
Il have this day addressed a similar
invitation to the republic Of Mexico
expressing my hope that representa-
| tives Of that government also will be
present and take part in the proposed
conference.
THE conclusions of such confer
ence, while wholly advisory in nature,
could hardly fail to yield important
benefits, both in better knowledge OF
the natural resources of each nation on
the part of the others and in sugges'
tions for concurrent action for the pro
lection of mutual interests related To
conservation.
"As my representative to convey tc
you this letter and invitation, and al
your desire to consult with you con
cerning the proposed conference, I have
selected an officer of this government
chief of the United States forest serV
ice and chairman of the national con
servation commission, whom l com
mend to your kind offices. Sincerely
yours-Theodore Roosevelt"

Nothing about the cabin was the
least bit suspicious. A large iron pot
bubbled invitingly over the open fire.
the fragrant odor OF boiling meat is
suing from under it's lid when the
steam pushed it up on one side. A
steaming haunch of vension, cooking
with some vegetables and dumplings,
was produced from the pot for our
supper, which was served soon after
my arrival. In the center of the room
was big table, crudely constructed of
heavy oak timbers. The cabin was well
lighted, the lamps being of expensive
character and great brilliancy. Guns
and fishing tackle and hunting tog-
gerry of every kind gave the cabin the
atmosphere of sportsman's club.
"The men talked freely Of everything
but themselves. They spoke of many
cities, but never of their homes. They
told me they were college chums who
had always made it a custom to spend
few months together each fall in the
woods. They were clever men and
readily passed for the lawyer, the doc
tor and the merchant, the characters
they respectively pretended to be. The
one to whom the other two deferred in
everything was large, powerful man
with clean-shaven face and a jaw like
a bulldog. His face was too shrewd to
be pleasant. He watched me furtively,
sinister, amused smile playing about
the corners of his mobile mouth. That
smile spoke volumes. It made me lie
awake all night. It seemed to say that
he knew my real character, and there
fore thought it best to keep on the
watch. The man seemed capable of
offering me personal violence. But
the night passed away without Incl
dent. After breakfast, repaired the
leak in my canoe and padded slowly
upstream, trying to figure out where
I had seen the big man with the square
jaw before.
while I was smoking last cigar
before retiring that evening, 1t came
to me where had seen him. 1t was
on street car In st. Louis, on one oc-
casion when l was shadowing the
shanty at the cave. He had been on
the same car and had kept his seat
when alighted near the hut. He had
looked at me then as IL he wanted to
know me the next time he saw me. l
