NEW IDEAS IN COOKERY.
candled cltron and Banana PIO Are
Both Recommended.

A novelty for the homo candy max
ers IL car lied citron. Go make IT,
Peel and core the citron and cut
1t into strips or cubes. Weigh the
fruit, and to each pound of 1t allow
a pound of granulated sugar and a
teaspoonful of water Put sugar and
water into porcelain-lined kettle and
cook to = strip, laying the citron in 1t
as soon as the sugar is dissolved
When the fruit is tender take 1t out
Of the kettle with a perforated spoon,
and spread on broad platter while
you add a little ginger to the strip,
then boil 1T until 1t is thick.
Stir In little lemon juice, return
the citrqn to the kettle and stir until
candied and thick with sugar, then
drain and lay on platters to dry.
Banana pie is the latest for the pie
weary. This does not mean that the
fresh fruit is sliced up-it Is a much
richer fruit than this, and is made Of
eVaporafed bananas They are treat
ed like dried apples of old before be-
lnS mduS up lnlO pastry.
The dvaporated bananas hold a
dozen things for the house that gets
tired of its bill of fare. Breakfast
food, pancake -four and cookies with
dainty flavor all their own are made
from the banana flour, "of which,"
say the cooking experts, you can
make anything that can be made of
white -four" Banana figs, which are
dried in their own strip, are new
form Of the fruit to add to the Christ
mas preserve table, and banana strip
is put up as a rival of maple strip in
flavor.
A noted Boston cook has a trick of
substituting -four for one of the eggs
ordinarily required to every quart of
milk in custard pudding.
The recipe calls for a quart of milk.
four tablespoonful Of flour, three
eggs, half teaspoonful of salt, a
tablespoonful of butter a teasponful
of vanilla and half a cup of granu-
lated sugar Reserve half a cup of
the milk and put the rest on the
stove to boil Mix the flour, after sift-
ing, with the cold milk and gradually
stir them into the boiling milk, taking
care that Jumps do not form. When
thick add the egg yolks, which should
have been beaten with the sugar, salt
and extract Then take the boiler
from the stove and add the butter.
Put Immediately into baking dish
just small enough to put inside of a
pretty pudding dish when ready to
serve. After baking cover with a
meringue made with the whites of the
eggs that were left over after making
the pudding. Serve very cold.

Potatoes Once Boiled,

II you have quantity Of cold boiled
potatoes and wish they were hot, put
THE usual amount of water in pot on
Dthe stove. Let 1t come to the boiling
point. Drop the cold boiled potatoes
into the water, If possible without
lowering the temperature. If the po-
tatoes are small boil for FIVE minutes;
If large, boil for ten minutes. In this
way they will not have a warmed-over
taste but will be as white and mealy
as when freshly boiled.

COOKING Mushrooms.

Among the many different ways OF
preparing them there are two simple
ones-broiled and saute-which prove
best, ON account of their retaining the
mushrooms own flavor. In all in.
stances cut the stem off close to the
gills and peel the cap from edge to
crown. If to be broiled cook them
over a low fire, laying them upon an
oyster broiler, placing the gills down
for a few moments with fork turn.
Carefully scatter very little salt over
them and, previous to their getting
tender place pit of butter in the cen.
ter of each mushroom. In melting 1t
will pass through the gills, improving
them greatly. Serve on hot toast,
which allows all of the mushroom
flavor to come forth. In saute place
them in saucepan with trifie of but.
ter-nothing else-cooking them, be-
meath a cover, about three-quarters of
an hour over boiling water. The brown
juice cooks out, which moistens the
toast. Cream may be used. 1t is i'm
portant to serve them hot, for draft
or chill is sure to spoil the best
cooked dish.

4 new ROPE FIBER
BANANA STALKS ARE RAPIDLY
COMING INTO USE.
Utilization Of the Plant viii Make
Fruit Lands In Mexico Much
More Valuable Than at
the Present Time.

Galveston, Tex.-V. Mistretta, pres
ident and trafic manager of the South
erh Steamship and Importing Con.
pany of Galveston, returned the other
day from San Antonio, where he was
in charge of the Tabasco exhibit at the
international fair. The State of Ia.
basco, Mexico. had a fine exhibit OF
products at the fair, and Mr.. Mistretta
was present throughout the fair ex-
planning the resources of the Yucatan
state to interested visitors.
Mr. Mistretta stated that great
amount of interest was manifested in
the exhibit, particularly the woods,
which embraced So varieties, said to
be the finest exhibit ever shown in
Texas.
Much interest was also shown in the
banana fiber exhibit. Speaking of the
banana fiber, Mr.. Mistretta stated that
it is destined to play an important part
in the development of banana culture
in Tabasco. While yet practically I'M
known, he stated, the fiber from the
banana stalk is superior to the famous
manila for the manufacture of rope
and Irvine.
THE banana fiber" he continued,
makes a soft, flexible rope, and the
manufacture of rope is now carried on
to a limited extent in the Philippines.
The work is done by hand. AS yet,
however, no machinery is on the mar
ket for the manufacture of the product
from the banana fiber, although an
eastern firm claims to have machinery
for the purpose.
THE utilization Of the fiber Of the
banana stalk will give a great impetus
to the growing of the fruit. 1t will
probably make the value of banana
lands in Tabasco worth 5000 an acre.
Banana culture now is about where
cotton growing was a few years ago.
Cotton planters were at loss to know
how to dispose of the seed. Now cot
ton-seed products are a big factor in
cotton raising, and the expectations
through this port, as you know, amount
to many millions of dollars year.
almost to the present time it has
been the impression among banana
planters that the stalk is capable Of
very materially increasing the revenue
from the plantations.
''At the present time stalk, after
bearing its bunch of bananas, is cut
off and thrown away, yet this single
stalk contains fiber that in it's finished
state is worth many dollars. From one
banana bulb several stalks are grown.
Each stalk produces one bunch of ba-
nanas. The stalk is then cut off and
another stalk springs up to bear fruit
in about IL months This plant is a
continuous producer and bananas are
developing the year around.
1T is hard to realize the possibilities
of banana culture in Tabasco when
the fiber of the stalk is utilized. 1t
will become very important industry
In the state and will open up another
avenue for industrial development.
The fiber is better than manila for the
manufacture of rope, because it is
more flexible and is stronger.
ut is reasonable to suppose that
there will be a big demand in this
country for the fiber for manufacture
ing purposes, and in a few years 1t is
more than probable that Tabosco's
output will be taken up entirely"

UBEHEBE PROMISING, BUT
THERE'S ONLY ONE GOLDFIELD

w. l.. Cook has returned from the
Ubehebe district with very favorable
impressions of that section. He re-
ports that the naturalization extends
over a vast territory.
The veins are from eight to forty feet
in width, lying between lime and
granite. Two samples We're taken by
Mr.. Cook from the surface. One
yielded $22 and the other $37, with the
values mostly in silver. The gold rat
low and the copper returns were from
6 to 8 per cent.
The camp is too far from the railroad
at present to make shipment profitable,
but, when one is built, there will be an
immense tonnage handled.
Considerable work has been done and
values up to 5000 are easily obtain
able. In the opinion of Mr.. Cook there
will be some thing doing in the camp
some day, "But," he remarked in con-
%clusion, "there is only one Goldfeld
and l will stick to it for the present.

Hart, CAL, May 20.-With a quartz
mill grinding out the bullion and three
properties entering the shipping class,
Hart at four months of age is in fine
condition from the standpoint of devel-
opments slrcady accomplished. AS fast
rs men, steel and powde; can delve into
Mother Earth just So fast are the mas
sive rhyolite dykes surrounding this
camp yielding up their secret vaults of
treasure. In its generous deposition of
gold bearing rock, nature has also been
kind in supplying Hart with an ideal
climate. Added to this is it's a~ccessi-
bility to two railroads and the markets
and supply points of the Pacific coast.
Hart is essentially a gold camp, no
other metal of Importance appearing
with the great desideratum of the hu-
man race, which in this age of CONNER
cialism is gold.
Life in a gold mining camp is
fraught with greater excitement than
in any other community during times
of peace. Coming in daily contact with
ores peppered with the precious metal
tends to make the most conservative
exceed the ordinary bounds of sanity.
The initial discovery was made here
last January, when Jim Hart and Bert
Hit found exceedingly rich values on
the surface of their Orc Belle No. 1
trict and scores of leases were let to the
intrepid searchers for gold. Then en-
sued a campaign of development, winch
is at its height at the present time.
Many of the leasers have made good
and with depth are finding greater
values than the surface disclosed.
Where the pay streak was narrow near
the surface it has widened appreeiably
at the lower levels.
The work which has been accom-
plished at but three of the principal
properties in this district is sufficient
in itself to prove that Hart is destined
to be numbered with the great mining
camps of the world. The strike at
Hart & Hits Orc Belle No. / is easily
one of the greatest ever made in Cali
f~ornia, and has every promise of rival
