Mussels.

1t is too bad that the food value of
mussels is so little understood. Per.
haps they have come to be scorned
because they are cheap. Yet, although
the advantage is slightly in favor of
the oyster because the latter are so
easily digested raw, and their flavor is
more delicate. yet chemical analysis
shows little difference in the flesh or
food value between the plebeian mussel
and its aristocratic cousin; certainly
not enough to account for its differ.
ence in price
To prepare mussels for table they
should be washed in several panfuls
of water until all traces of mud are
removed. Then they should be ex-
amined, and all traces of parasites re-
moved. They are not, of course, good

These are very good prepared as
a salad with olive oil and vinegar, or
with a mayonnaise. Set in aspic jelly
they make a delightful garnish for
fish, and when highly seasoned with
curry powder and cayenne, they are
a tang-y relish; serve on toast.

Places identified with the best and the worst days of Memphis will pass into history.

Gen. Meeks is guilty of willful mis-

TEACH GIRLS TO COOK.

President Sylvester, of the Maryland
Agricultural College, asks that Mary
land girls be given the same chance as
Maryland .bOys to acquire education.
This seems to be trite and commonplace
and surelenough it is, in respect to gen.
eral educational training, for Maryland
boys and girls have equal opportunities
in the public schools. 1t is in special
education, however. that the boys have
superior advantages. The girls have
no technical school in which they can
prepare.themselves for special work in
the future.
CaptainISilvester urges that the girls
be given equalI chances, that while the
boys are trainedFas in the Maryland
Agricultural College to be farmers, the
girls should be trained in domestic
science. -. The suggestion which Captain
Sylvester has thrown out is important.
1t offers an.opportunity, if awaited of,
for Maryland girls to have a school of

learn. how to sew and cook.
Indeed, the question is a very inter-
esting one. Which is the better pre-
pared for.lfe's duties, the young man
or the young woman, when as man and
wife. desperately they begin their
struggle for a place in the world? In
these modern days when women are so
actively entering into competition with
men as breadwinners and when they are
claiming equal political opportunities it
becomes pressing question of the hour,
What shall we do without cooks?"
Menu can do without a great many
things, but how can he dispense with
cooks?
Captain Sylvester offers a solution of
our needs. He tells US to train our girls
to be good cooks as he trains the boys
al the agricultural college to be good
farmers.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT AT NAPLES.

The enthusiastic welcome which Mr..
Roosevelt received at Gibraltar was
repeated, and more, at Naples Monday.
The demonstrations in the harbOr and
on shore were of kind rarely accorded
TO private citizen. Both Mr.. Roose-
welt and his nation have right to feel
proud of his reception. 1t is said that
the city and bay could not have presen-
ted gayer appearance if royalty were
being honored instead of the former
president of a republic beyond the seas.
1t was noticeable that even in the poor
er quarters of Naples the houses were
decorated. This is significant of the
manner in which Mr.. Roosevelt's fame
has spread and of the appeal which his
striking personality makes to all class
SS.
Now that the former president is out
of the country and enjoying his well
earned holiday, one or two partisan Or
gans have the bad taste to criticize him
for accepting such hospitality as has
been extended at Gibraltar and Naples.
They also find fault with his Luxurious
surroundings, afoat and ashore. In
this they show their lack of logic.
First, they insist that he is only a pri-
vate citizen and should be treated as
such, ard then they proceed to criticize
him as if he were an official parsonage
answerable to the people. We have
one of these cavaliers here at home, who
gets excited over Mr.. Roooevalt's oc-
cupancy of 1.-The emperor's suite" on
the steamship and "a magnificent
apartment in one of the best hotels" at
Naples. The critics ire is further
aroused by "a motor boat in which to
glide about the bay and an address of
welcome. " 1t is nobody's business how
good time Mr.. Roosevelt has abroad.
but everybody not suffering from an at
tack of early spring jaundice hopes he
will have the best times possible. If
he had his way he would, without doubt
dispense with much of the ceremony in
which his hosts indulge, but no man
could be insensible to the sincerity and
kindness of the feelings which thus find
expression. However, the critics at
home will have few more opportunities
tor while, to make themselves ridicu-

When his little squadron sailed out of

He did his best in a way that was
worthy of the best days of Spain.
There was general rejoicing when it
was discovered that he had not found
the death he sought. The heart of the
American people went out to him.
Even in the rejoicing at the victory we
could not.but feel admiration and pity
for so brave foe who with a force so
inadequate:had been compelled for his
country's honor to make so desperate
an effort. &. We remembered. too. his
chivalrous conduct toward HObsOn when
he sank the Merrlmac and was captured.
Later in his captivity the old Admiral
won all hearts by the fortitude with
which Che bore his misfOrtunes, and
when he left this country upon the
conclusion of peace it was with the
warmest regard and respect of all who
knew him.
