place near the treasury; but now it
seems that the excellent representa-
tion of the man and a thoroughly
credltable work Of art is not to receive
the recognition which his grateful
countrywomen so earnestly and hon
estly tried to secure for him. The
uriginatOrs of the Spinner Memorial
association have come to the conclu-
sion that the statue never will be
given a conspicuous place in the city
Of Washington. although they have not
ceased their efforts to have the men,
Ory of Gen. Spinner so honored.
The statue was completed early in
the administration OF President Cleve-
land. Mrs. John A. Logan and others
made application to Secretary OF the
Treasury Carlisle to have the statue
placed upon one of the approaches to
the treasury building, guaranteeing
that the government should not be put
to one cent of cost in having the work
done. Mr.. Carlisle refused the appeal
of the committee, saying that he felt
satisfied that he did not have the au-
thOrity to grant such a request, and
that there never had been a statue
erected to any OF the men who had
served as the head of the great de-
partment.
The sculptor, Mr. Elliott, died and
the statue was removed from his stu
dio to the Corcoran Art gallery, with
the understanding 1t could be removed
at any time the women found suit
able place for it. From that day to the
present the work of art has occupied
an obscure place in the basement Of
the gallery. where it seldom would be
seen or recognized if not pointed out
by some one familiar with its history

adOred Gen. Spinner He was their
mentor, guide, philosopher and friend
But for his stalwart appeals there
might have been no women in the de-
partments. And he had much to con-
tend with. Salmon Chase, who was
secretary of the treasury at the time,
was lukewarm over the proposition.
Chiefs of several of the bureaus actu-
ally sneeTed at what some of them
called a visionary and wild conception,
and predicted all sorts of evil results
from it, The old treasurer was not
dismayed, however. He was fighting
a good fight and he won.

THREE GOOD COLD FUDDINes

in Paste-Lined Plates.

One pineapple grated. its weight in
gra2ulated sugar. half its weight in

piazza in front of the church, where
a monk in surplice and stole waited
to bless the horses by sprinkling holy
water on them. The monks of the
Order Of st. Francis always performed
this service from dawn to the Ave
Maria, receiving in return a small do
nation for each horse blessed.
This custom was so we'll known and
followed that il is said an Austrian
ambassador in 1902, wishing TO have
all his horses blessed without pay
ing a fee for each one, had the chap
lain of the embassy perform the cere-
mOny in private. an action which was
greatly resented by the Holy See. The
rite Of the ceremony to-day is the
same, but all its pomp is gene. The
horses are brought 10 be blessed as of
Old but instead of being richly ca
paTisOned and haTnessed to carriages
they are led by hand and bare, and
very often are poor weak animals that
can hardly amble up to the waiting
priest
If, however, the show part of the
feast has been done away with in
Rome the ceremony still retains some
of its picturesQueness in the country,
as no Italian farmer who has the wei
fare of his beasts at heart would
think of failing to bring all his animals
to be blessed on ST. Anthonys day
This is especially the case in southern
Italy, near Naples, where st. Anthony
is still considered the patron not
only of beasts of burden but also of
pigs.
Besides the blessing of animals
there is still another custom on St
Anthony's day which has survived
from early Christian times at Naples
In some of the piaZZas a bonfire is
lighted, preceded by a special cere-
mony.
A woman of the district, surrounded
by young girls, goes about with a
bottomless barrel and begs from her
neighbors the necessary frewood to
start the fire. A carpenter will give
| her some sawdust, another will do
nate an old table, some one else will
throw in a broken chair, while from
/ the windows various bits of wood will
be added to the collection. A suitable
spot in the piazza is found, the fire is
started inside the barrel and the
women and children find fuel to feed
the fame

Dates as FlaVoring.

As a change from the monotOny of
ordinary ice creams try dates as a
novel flavor and be convinced that 1t
is good To do this you may follow
your customary recipe. Flavor lightly
with vanilla, then add two teacupfuls
of shredded dates to each quart of the
cream, and freeze as usual. If pro-
portionate quantity of dates is added
to any ordinary cake recipe instead of
raisins, citron, ETC., the cake will find
favor as a most delicate novelty.
Figs are also an excellent substi-
tute for more ordinary flavOTs in ices
or ice cream. They may be used in
cakes. in pies, or in puddings, or may
be stewed, baked or stuffed. Mixed
with an equal quantity of chopped nut
meats and made into a blanc mango
that has been favored with lemon,
the effect is even more appealing to
the sense of taste.

FROM CANNED STUFF
CLEVER COOK CAN MAKE MANY
APPETIZlNG DISHES.
How Materials Left Over from the
Winter May Be Utiized-Corn
Pudding and Corn oys-
ters Both Delicious.

The housewife who last fall stocked
her pantry and storeroem with all
sorts of canned goods is very apt to
find quite a few of them still on hand,
with fresh vegetables and fruits OF
early spring looming up on the hort-
zOn. Stewed tomatoes. canned corn
warmed over in milk, canned peas
heated in butter-the family are sick
of all these by now. If canned supplies
are to be used, they must now be dis
guised by clever cookery.
Corn Pudding.-Tdke a can of corn
and put in chopping bowl and chop
the corn very fine. Now put in baking
dish and add TO this corn one cup of
rich milk, butter the size of a walnut,
two tablespoons of sugar and two
eggs which have been well heated.
Stir all together and bake in a moder-
ate oven for one hour.
Corn Oys'a-3.-. le name is taken
from the share q the corn when
cooked. Take I1!f can of corn and
chop fine, add tC tIis the yolk of one
egg, salt and Te1Ier to taste. Mix
we'll and then ada the white of the
egg, which has been beaten very stiff.
Drop on hot frying pan in lard about
the size Of an oyster and fry brown
on both sides. If you find the corn is
very dry, you can add little milk to
thin the batter before frying.
Pilan.-Half a can of tomatoes, one
cup of rice, one pint OF water, one cup
OF diced meat. One-half tablespoon of
curry, one-half teaspoon OF salt, two
tablespoons OF butter, One-half tea
spoon of onion and a little pepper.
Heat the tomatoes and water. add
onion, and as soon as II boils add one
cup of rice, meat and curry, salt and
cook until the rice is tender, which
will be about 80 minutes. Add the
butter when ready to serve. Serve
on toast
Stuffed Peppers.-Parhcil either red
or green peppers. Cut the top on,
leaving the stem on, however. Re-
move all the seeds and fill with the
following recipe: Take 2 can of corn
and chop fine, add to It tablespoon
of melted butter, a tablespoon of
cream, two eggs, well beaten, salt and
pepper to taste. Fill the peppers with
this mixture, put on the cover and
bake in a quick oven.
Cherry Tapioca Pudding.-SOak one
small cup of tapioca in water over
night In the morning add a pinch Of
salt to ii and cook until clear; then
add butter the size of an egg, one
heaping cup of cherries, half cup Of
sherry wine and sugar enough to suit
your taste. Flavor with teaspoon of
vanilla, turn into baking dish and
bake until brown. Serve very cold
with cream. If the flavor of nutmeg is
liked, CRATE little on the pudding be-
fore putting it in the oven.

He was born in Madrid in 1873, while
his father, the duke of Aosta, was
king of Spain. Aosta was the brother
of King Humbert of Italy and the pres

Numbered among the most brilliant
exploits of the duke are his scaling OF

which broke Nansen's record, and his
