VEGETABLES IN NEW eUIsE.
Appetizins Ways of Preparing the
Odds and Ends.

To serve cold turnips attractively,
heat a cupful of soup or good stock;
add a cupful of bread crumbs and sim
mer for five minutes. Add the mashed
turnips, two or three tablespoonfuls
OF cream and the requisite amount OF
salt and pepper. When thoroughly
hot turn in the beaten yolk of an egg;
cook for a minute or two longer and
serve quickly.
If some of the large stalks Of eel
cry have been left from dinner and
the cook does not desire to make them
into soup stew them until tender in
slightly salted water; then drain them
through colander and chop fine. Add
cream, melted butter, beaten egg, and
salt to taste, and 10 each pint of the
mixture one level teaspOonful of ba-
king powder that has previously been
sifted into little e-fiOur. If the batter
is not OF proper consistency, a little
more flour may be added. for the mix
ture must be thick enough TO drop
properly from the end of spoon into
the deep fat in which it should be
fried
Even the radishes left on the table
may be. served attractively if this
formula is followed: Let them cook
until tender in Just enough boiling
water to cover them. Keep the sauce,
pan securely covered until the rad
ishes are done; then uncover and re-
duce the liquor One-half Add an
equal quantity of milk, and, when at
the point of boiling, stir in the neces-
saTy amount of flour and butter to
thicken the sauce appropriately. If
you have never tried this experiment
in cooking radishes the result will be
certain to prove a pleasing surprise.

last session, which at the time Of ad-
journment was still in deadlock. The
first ballot of the session was the
eighty-fifth in the contest
Senator WetmOre was the RepuD-
ican candidate for reelection, and as
the Republicans have y votes to 80
of the Democrats and Lincoln party,
a united vote, it was believed before
the balloting began that he would be
returned to Washington over Goddard.
Both candidates were in the contest at
the last session. but Col. Samuel Pom
eroy Colt polled majority of the Re-
publican votes.
Senator WetmOre lives in Newport.
He was born in London in 1876 during
the visit of his pareIsts abroad. He
was graduated from Yale in 1867, was
governor of Rhode Island from 1888
to 1887 and was elected to the United
States senate by unanimous vote in
1894. He was reelected in 1901. He
is a millionaire and social leader.

WHEN CARPET BECOMES BARE.
Devices by Which Its Usefulness May
Be Prolonged.

In the case of a bare carpet three
courses may be followed 4 new one
may be substituted, the old one being
relegated to q room of less conse-
quence, or a square may be put on top
of the old; or manipulation of the
widths may be attempted, banishing
the worn parts to obscure corners un-
derneath rugs or pieces of furniture,
where they will scarcely be seen and
not trodden upon.
A word of advice may here be given
about regulating the wear of stair car
pet.
Each length of it should always be
at least half yard longer than actual
ly required, to permit of changing the
tread In laying such carpet for the
first time have the surplus half yard
at the top.
After the first time it is taken up,
when relaying pull it over the step q
few inches, and so ON until the surplus
half yard is all at the bottom; then
the carpet could be reversed and this
process repeated, with the result that
some years will be added to the life
of the carpet

HOW TO WASH cHAmoIs.
Cloves Of That Kind Should Be
clsansed in Bath of soapy Water.

Every woman is under the impress
sion that chamois skin gloves are
grand till she has tried TO wash a
pair. They are said to wash so easily
that the one who has a pair seldom
makes any attempt to keep them clean
IN the beginning She is sure that all
she has to do is to give them a care
less scrubbing 10 make them as good
as new that she doesn't take even the
ordinary precautions. Wait till she
has tried washing them just once, and
then hear her denounce anything made
OF chamois skin forever after.
They can be washed to look like
new, however. if one but knows the lit
tie trick of leaving the soap in to keep
them soft. Again, it is bad policy to
wash them on the hand, as they are
sure to stretch this way. Rather
cleanse them by the squeezing method.
rolling them up in a little ball in the
palm Of the hand. Wash In several
waters, all soapy, and finally pull into
shape without rinsing Do not stretch
them in the least. but after working
the fingers into shape hang them In

bodies of 80 or 40 at a time, each
group having a leader. AS many as
400 or 500 of them were in San An
tonic at one time last spring, and for
several months displaced the negro
servants, especially as coachmen.
Then suddenly all of these men quit
their positions and embarked on a
train for the northwest.
Many Of the Japanese, however,
who have come to Texas have come
in good faith as settlers Some of
them, especially the colony at Web
ster, in Harris county, in this state,
have signified their intention of be-
coming American citizens. The Six
ty-first district court of Harris coun-
ty has granted to some of them pre-
liminaTy papers as proof of the dec
laration of intention The question
has been risen as TO whether the Jap
anese are eligible to American oiti-
zenship. 1t is stated that a federal
judge in western Texas district has
held that the Japanese are eligible, and
it is probable that at the end of the
term of qualified residence no
objection will be made to the final
naturalization.
This colony in Harris county occu-
pies about 1000 acres Of land, nearly
all of which is under cultivation the
most of it being planted in rice. They
also cultivate vegetables and fruits,
and have proved themselves success
full farmers. They have built them
selves comfortable homes and have to
a great extent adopted American Gus
toms. They have a Presbyterian
church and preacher trained at the
Union Theological seminary in Vir-
ginia
About four years ago a colony Of
Japanese settled on the Mitchell lake
farms, south OF San Antonio. The
Mitchell lake farms are under irriga-
ton and the Japanese have held their
own with the Germans and the b.
hemians, who have been the most sue
cessful farmers in this part of the
country.
One of the most successful of this
colony, named Porido, took advantage
of the influx of his cOuntTymen last
winter and had some Japanese car
penters in the party build him Jap
anese house. 1t is rather a quaint
and graceful type of architecture and
is well adapted to this climate. He
lives there with his wife and two chill
dren. The Oldest, a boy about three
years of age, is the first Japanese
child born in Texas.

SmokeIess CnaI-

A London inventor claims to have
discovered a process for producing
smokeless coal. apparently by dis
tillation of coal at a low tempera-
ture This, after filtration, is said to
deposit a very brilliant substance. the
heating properties of which are far
greater than those of the original coal
and which is absolutely free from
smoke and dirt. The inventor con-
tends that efforts TO overcome the
smoke plague have hitherto been un-
successful, because they have been
made In the wrong direction, and that
by the extraction of the smoke-produc-
ing material in coal before being
burned, he has been successful In Dro-
ducing a smOkeIess coal. Sir w. b.
Richmond. president of the Society
for the Prevention of Smoke. has
bought up this invention.

oL0-FAsHIoNE0 STYLES LIKED.
Odd Shapes in China Are in Favor
This Season.

Old-fashiOned styles in china will
prevail this season. and to the unini-
tiated much of the new dinner ware
viii appear cheap because the shapes
are odd rather than pretty.
For this innovation possibly the
craze for mission furniture in dining
rooms is responsible, for many of the
designs are in keeping with this style
of furnishing.
AS to the decoration on these-mis-
sion sets-small, plain-loOking nose

Maple SUGAR Cake.

This is recipe not generally
known, but 1t has been tried with
great success. For the layers rub to-
gether one cupfui of butter and two
cupfuls of sugar until they form a
cream. Add the yOlks of four eggs
beaten lightly, three cupfuls of sifted

Of the eggs whipped to a froth and
lastly one teaspOOnful of baking pow

til it threads. Pour slowly upon the
white of one egg, which has been
beaten st1, beating steadily all the
while. Continue beating until the mix
ture is cold and thick. then spread be
tween the layers and on the top. If
desired still richer stir half a cupful
of butternuts, which have been chop
ped fine, into the filling just before

The church has undergone many i'm
proyements since first it was built. It
aoW has little resemblance to the
original structure. The adobe outside
walls have been smOOthed over with
plaster and wherever evidence of de-
cay was shown repairs were made
The ancient belfry has been remodeIed
TO such an extent that its appearance
is entirely changed from that Of the
original structure. The old bell, which
is said to have been placed in the
church at the time of its completion,
ROW occupies position just inside the
entrance door of the church. The bell
OF itself is a relic that attracts the at
tention Of all who visit the historic
place. 1t was cast August 9, 1856, as
Is shown by the date which is nodded
upon it. The tone of the bell is mel
low and musical and can be heard a
great distance.
The distinguished honor of ringing
this ancient bell is accorded to but
few persons by Brother David" Presi.
dent Roosevelt is one of those who
was invited to sound for the tones of
the bell. This was in 1903, when the
president visited Santa Fe. The chief
executive of the nation pulled the rope
with a vigOr that caused the bell to
give forth a tone that was heard far
beyond the limits of the parish. This
bell is said to have done service in
Spain for nearly 200 years before it
was brought to the ancient pueblo OF
Santa Fe and installed in this church.
In the times when the church edifice
was used as a fort to ward off attacks
sf the Indians the bell was used to
sound the alarm to the settlers of the
santa Fe district when the Indians
sVoOped down upon the pueblo.
When the church was built and for a
century or two afterwards the OMEN
iags in its walls, now fitted with win
dOws OF glass, were covered with
woven Indian blankets when storms
came. Ordinarily the openings we're
left free Of distractions and the pure
air OF the mesa swept through the
building. The bare ground served for
a door until 171O, when a puncheon

New Use for Table Oil Cloth.

A woman who is always discovering
things about the house that nobody
else ever thought of says that the
oilcloth used for kitchen tables makes
an excellent floor covering If used over
felt padding.
1t has the merit, moreover, of com
ing in daintier patterns than the or
binary oilcloth used for kitchens. Il
can be kept perfectly clean by scrub

on the oilclOth itself. but instead make
