SOME GOOD RECIPES
NEW AND OLD, BUT ALL WORTH
A TRIAL.
Chinese Pineapple Chicken a Good
Sample Of Oriental cooking-To
Prepare and Bake Two Lem
on Puddings.

Chinese Pineapple Chicken.-Use a
cup Of cold chicken cut into cubes, one
small can Of mushrooms, and a small
can of pineapple, three stalks celery,
and two small onions. The celery and
onions, cut into dice, are Drowned in
oil or butter. Add to that the mush-
rooms and pineapple, together with
pineapple liquor, add the chicken. Let
come to a boil and serve. Any one
fond of orieItaI cooking will find this
delicious.
Celery Pickle.-Take two quarts
chopped cabbage, two quarts chopped
celery, three quarts vinegar, quarter
pound white mustard seed, half ounce
crushed white ginger root, half ounce
tumeric powder, two tablespoons salt,
five tablespoons sugar. Cook slowly
several hours until tender and seal in
glass jars.
Mealy POtatoes.-To have baked pO-
tatoes nice and mealy when served,
slit the skin about two inches long
ways of the potato Immediately upon
their removal from the oven. This will
allow the steam to escape. Then
squeeze slightly to make a fair sized
opening. To this opening add a small
piece of butter, salt, and pepper.
Smooth Gravy.-Use egg beater TO
beat out Jumps in making thickening
for gravy.
Two Lemon Puddings.-To one pint
of scalded milk add one cup bread
crumbs, One-quarter cup sugar, one
teaspoon butter, grated rind of one
lemon and one beaten egg or yolks of
two. Mix all ingredients well togeth-
er and bake slowly about One-half
hour or until firm in the center. Serve
hot or cold with jam or jelly.
Two cups hot water, one cup sugar;
put in a granite pan, let boil; then
stir in two heaping tablespoons of
cornstarch and pinch of salt, wet
with cold water. Let boil about two
minutes on back of stove, then add

custard.
Make Baking POwder.-TTy mixing
your own baking powder by taking
one pound of cream of tartar, one
pound of cornstarch, and One-half
pound of baking soda. Sift several
times together This will make about
two and one-half pounds of baking
powder at a little more than the cost
of one at the stores.
ChickentarO-FOr eight people use
the white meat only of a good sized
boiled chicken. Add two cans small
mushrooms which have been removed
from the cans and drained about two
hours. Keep all in ice box, strictly
salted. Dressing: Half pint of cream
thickened with a little flour, when

red pepper. When nearly cool add
tablespoon of lemon juice and when
perfectly cold add TO the chicken and
mushrooms. Mix only with a silver

CARE OF THE TRUNK.
Little Repairs That Will Keep It Al
ways Looking Well.

a battered trunk on the outside is
not an ornamental affair by any means
and one never really cares what the
exterior presents, providing the interior
looks neat Often the cloth or paper
lining becomes old and the hinges
break off, presenting a very untidy ap-
pearance. To make it look more pre-
sentable make new hinges with white
tape, tacking the material in place
with the smallest fiat-headed tacks.
Line throughout with white moire
wall paper or a silver blue The pa
per should be fastened on with wall
paper paste and thoroughly dried be-
fore the contents are replaced. You
will find that where the paper comes
to the edge of the trunk trays and
boxes it will be better protected along
the edges if covered with passepar-
tout to bind those parts. If the trunk
has wooden pieces on the outside,
clean with sandpaper and varnish.
Often the metal portions can be
cleaned with a cloth dipped in kerO-
sene and rubbed into the pieces, aft
eTward washed and polished with a
chamOis. Leather straps can be
frightened with russet or black shoe
polish.

To Repair Carpet.

Make an ordinary -four paste; boil
and be sure it is free from Jumps. Take
any old piece of wool carpet that will
cover the worn part in the carpet you
wish TO repair; wet thoroughly with
paste and spread smoothly over wrong
side. over the thin or worn part. Be
careful not to get paste through on
right side. With a little trouble you
can give new life to a worn carpet

An Economy That Counts.

There are some things which it does
not pay to buy in quantities, but soap
of any kind is not one of them. If
laundry soap is allowed to dry for
weeks before using, the longer will it
last
A high, unused shelf in the pantry
or table in an attic are either one
excellent places for spreading the
soap so that it is subject to the dry.
ing air.
Even toilet soap is improved by this
treatment; though it rarely gets it.

To BRIGHTEN a Gas Mantle.

When your gas burns poorly, prob
ably the mantle is black. If so, re-
move the globe, get a salt shaker, and
with it sprinkle salt on the mantle, as
much as will cover it, then light the
gas and let it burn till all the black is
of. Then replace the globe. Cleaned
thus, the mantle should be as good as
new again.

A TAME LEOPARD.

~ all the cat tribe, leopards are
~ the easiest to same and teach, If
they are captured while young.
When they are old their savage habits
have become fixed and 1t is Almost inn
possible then to tame them.
Forty years ago II curious and we'll
known sight on the streets of Berlin
was Won der Madliern with his tame
leopard. Baron von der Madliern, when
a young man, was for several years
German consul in Egypt. While there
an Arab friend presented him with II
young leopard. 1t was only a few days
old, its eyes not open yet. The young
baron determined to make a pet Of the
leopard and train and treat it like a
dog.
The leopard was never confined in a
cage, but was always allowed full
liberty, and was we'll fed and petted.
He slept on a comfortable rug in his
masters room, and, if the night was
cold, crept upon his masters bed and
shared it with him. Through the day.
indoors and out. he followed Won der
Madliern about like a faithful dog, and
displayed a dogs affection fol- his

He grew by and by into a handsome

species. and finely marked. When he
had been In Won der Madliern's posses
sion about two years the baron was re-
called to Berlin. and took the animal
back with him. In Berlin the leopard
occupied the same place in his masters
house that he had done before. and fol-
lowed the baron about the streets in
the same way.
At first the sight of the reatu
stalking solemnly along beside the man
created quite "a sensation In the city,
and people crowded to see them pass.
But it grew to be an everyday matter
which only attracted occasional notice
from strangers or children.
The animal lived to be abou fifteen
years old. and died much lamented by
all who knew him. His story seems to
prove that the wildness of such animals
is only slightly inherited. and that their
better nature may usually be brought
out by proper treatment.

THE MISUSE OF WEALTH

TOHN D. ROCKEFELLER says
that Morgan and he stood behind
- seventy New York banks during
the panic, and that therefore the pres
ident's structures upon the possessors
of vast wealth are unfounded. This is
queer logic. The basis of President
Roosevelt's diatribe lay in the fact that
certain positive and undeniable condi-
tions had produced the results which
necessitated the saving intervention of
Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr.. Morgan and
other billionaires to keep the country
from going to rack and ruin. Mr..
Roosevelt has never assailed wealth or
the possession of wealth, and never
will. In the first place, he is not a
poor man; in the second, he is level
headed. What Mr.. Roosevelt con-
dennis is the MISUSE of wealth and
the ABUSE of the power that money
gives, and he says that such misuse
and such abuse are contrary to Amer
icanism, and so they are.
Section four of article " of the con-
stitution says: 1.-THE United States
shall guarantee to every state in this
Union republican form of govern
ment." The Declaration of Indepen-
dence says: 1--WE hold these truths
to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal. that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain inalien-
able rights; that among these are life,
. 1,o
That TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS
governments are instituted among men,
deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed" The declara-
ton goes on to assert the right to revolt
when the government shows that ii
will not or cannot live up to these
"self-evident truths"
Now as long as wealth Is used, or is
for the most part used. for the preser-
walton Of American rights. the promo.
ton Of American first principles. and
the practice of a republican form OF
government, it is immune from crit.
cism and is a positive benefit to the
community. But as soon as wealth
puts itself in a position antagonistic tc
American principles or pledges, What
better is it than any other agent OF
rebellion or sedition?

TAXATION AND PRICES


FTIHE Commercial Bulletin, q trade
paper of Los Angeles, has pub
Il lished a number of interesting
quotations from an old order book
| which belongs to Thomas ]. Barley
of the Thomas j. Barkley company.
From this we learn that twenty-four
years ago Durham tobacco was sold
| in Los Angeles at % cents per pound.
It is now listed at 6s cents. We do
not advocate the use of tobacco, but
| its Importance as an agricultural and
manufactured product cannot be ques-
toned. And today a favorite brand"
is almost treble it's price in 1884. Is
there anyone so green that he does
not realize that the price of tobacco
the deliberate plans of the trust? If
everything in the United States were
to be allowed to pass under the con-
troll of trusts the entire cost of living
would be trebled or quadrupled, while
the tendency of wages would be to
diminish. In articles that are not con-
trolled by trusts the purchasing power
of a dollar was never so great as it is
today in the United States. In articles
controlled by trusts the purchasing
power of a dollar was never smaller.
This is the most convincing argument
that can be offered in support of free
play of all the influences and currents
of our great internal market. Under
normal conditions there is in the
United States an abundance of every
thing. including money. As soon as
there is scarcity of anything, whether
money or goods, unhappy experience
points to the inference that those who
have the power to do so have been
arranging and adjusting conditions to
suit themselves.
People who are tariff mad have from
time to time advocated interstate taxes
on imports and exports. Not many
years ago the state legislature of Ala
bama, with the announced object of
promoting the wine industry in that
stale, proposed to collect tariff on
all wines imported into Alabama; and
attempted by a curious procedure to
levy export duties on all wines going
out Of the statel Wine growers fought
this measure and assailed it success
fully on the ground of unconstitution-
ality. While it was being debated
large part of the Alabama wine in
dustry was in a condition of suspended
animation. If it had been put into |
effect the wine would have paid the

would have taken a rake-off if the |
wine had been sold for shipment be- |
yond the state border Once upon a |
time the British taxed their imports |
to the American colonies. and they have |
been rueing their rashness ever since.
But to the needless politician who |
wishes to raise revenues quickly moth |
ing is so tempting as a tax upon in
dustries or a penalty upon enterprise. |
