RIPE OR CANNED PEACHES.
Delicious Dishes for Dessert Prepared
from Either Source.

GateauX of peaches is a French ap-
peilation FOR a dessert in peach sea-
son. The ripe fruit can be used in
place OF the canned, which has been
considered in the measuring. Half a
can OF peaches, half teaspoonful red
colorinS, two teaspoonfuls vanilla ex-
tract, one ounce pistachio nuts, three
eggs, three ounces of flour, three
ounces OF butter, a little water icing.
Put the eggs and the sugar into a
basin, place this over another basin
OF boiling water and Whisk until
warm; remove the basin and continue
the whisking until the mixture is
almost stiff enough to lift up with
the whisk.
Rub the peaches through a sieve
and add two heaping tablespoonfuls
or the PURGE Of the mixture, the red
coloring, one teaspoonful Of the va
nilla and the flour sifted. Stir this in
very lightly, butter a plain mold, then
dust it with -four.
Pour Ill tie mixture and pin around
the outside a band of buttered paper;
bake for 80 minutes in a moderate
oven, then remove from the mold and
when cold cut in slices about one inch
thick, spread thickly with the remain
der OF the PURGE, place the rounds to-
gether again and pour over the water
icing prepared as follows:
Six tablespoonfuls of confectioner's
sugar, two tablespoonfuls liquid from
peaches, the other teaspoonful Of va
nilla, stir Until warm and liquid, then
pour over the cake and quickly dust
with the pistachio blanched, finely
chopped and dried. Serve it as a
cake, or as a sweet serve round the
remainder Of the can of peaches and
little whipped cream here and there
round the base.
Another peach dish is tempting. Ice
cream may be used in place of
whipped cream, which will serve, or
a gelatin cream which is good. Peel,
pit and halve ripe peaches and put
each half on a small plate; fill CEN
ter with chopped walnut meats, over
this pour soft ice cream and scatter
over with red raspberries.

Equality Of Sexes.

There is no doubt that a good deal
OF this feeling about woman suffrage
has arisen through the rancorous
claim: I'VE are as good as you are!"
But why should such a claim be made

puted that women are "as good"

Iron LONG Known In Japan.

The Japanese we're acquainted with
iron from very early times A sword
that was used by one of the ances-
tors of the present emperor, about 800
B. c., according to the Engineering
Magazine, Is still in existence. Later,
when the great civil war broke out in
the sixth century, swordsmiths and
armorsmitbs came to occupy a promi-
nent place. From this time on down
to about 300 years ago no noticeable
progress had been made. At the be-
ginning Of the seventeenth century
all branches of industry began to pros
per. The demand for iron Instruments
increased, and the scarcity of iron sup
ply began to be felt.

THE PANAMA CANAL PURCHASE

EX-United States Senator Willard Of
Nebraska in I'm interview published in
the Omaha World Herald, takes issue
with President Roosevelt on the Panama
canal deal The interview is interest
ing because of the light it throws upon
Il very shady transaction and for its
direct contradiction of many of the
statements made by the president III the
letter III which he charged the editors
of the Indianapolis News and New
York Sun with making false statements
about the purchase of the canal property
from William Nelson Cromwell and his
associates.

Roosevelt is undoubtedly wrong in I,
number Of his statements concerning
the Panama canal deal, especially in
the particular that the $40, 900, 600 was
paid to the French government, or that
the French government was concerned
in any way with the sale of the canal
property and franchise to the United
States government. Senator Willard
took prominent part in the senate in
veStigatiOn into the matter, being
chairman of the senate committee at
that time.
The French government had moth
ing to do with the sale of the canal
property, said Senator Willard. About
the only man who had anything to do
with that, 50 far as our committee was
able to find, was William Nelson Crom

he represented, or rather the StOclIhold-
