Waters to Serve with Tea Are
Of Japanese orieIn-cske That
Is Popular in Cities

This Is the way 10 concoct those
frail, delicate dainty waters that the
Japs serve with tea. Break the white
Of one egg in bowl; add one table
spoonful OF sugar. stir a moment, and
then add one tablespoonful OF -four
and one-half teaspoonful Of softened
butter. Beat until about as thick as
cream. Pour teaspoonful Of this bat
ter on the reverse side Of q large
baking pan. slightly creased. and with
the back Of a spoon spread it until
about four inches In diameter and al
most as thin as tissue paper. Bake
In a moderate oven until brown and
while still warm roll around curing

A delicious Italian cake which Is al
ways served with ices in the pastry
shops OF Genoa and other southern
Italian towns is made thus: Warm
half cupful Of butter until 1t is lit
tie soft, beat II to cream with half
q cupful Of sugar. Break In an egg
and beat until quite smooth: add one
by one, three or more eggs, beating
hard. and then add half cupful OF

tin and bake about ten or fifteen min
utes. Turn II upside down on a sieve
to cool and when cold spread thickly
with apricot jam and then with choco-
late icing. Place in the oven a mo
ment. then cool and cut into shapes.
A delicious way to serve cake Is az

and bake 1t in shallow square tins.

and cover the top Of each with little

cupful of raisins in a small quantity

them, after trimming, with layer OF
strawberry jam or peach marmalade.
Cover with a layer of fresh cream
cheese. Press two slices together
with the filings against each other

as absence Of headlights involves GER
tain advantages
The coIors Of signal and switch
lights In England are not affected by
the feeble signal-light on the engine
falling upon them. There IL no daz-
zling or binding effect produced upon
the crew of either train when two
trains pass. In this country, where
conditions are very different, the
problem Of proper track illumination
Is one which has to be solved. The
increase of traffic and the high speed
of trains, the introduction Of block
signals, the train-signal system, and
the presence of level crossings make
the solution of the problem for Amer
ican railroads one in which all the
conditions must be fully considered
and adequately dealt with, and the re-
suit may have to be something In the
nature Of compromise.
In brief, we may say, some Of the
principal requirements of a locomotive
headlight are that the light from it
shall be powerful enough to illuminate
the track far enough ahead to permit
OF an emergency stop; that the light
shall not be SO brilliant as to cause
temporary blindness or bewilderment
In those upon whom 1t falls; that in
the matter Of signal observance 1t
must not alter or modify the colors Of
the lesser lights which come into its
field, and that 1t shall be as effective
form of light as can be devised for
foggy or snowy weather.
Among the various sources Of lights
available for headlights the use of
acetylene gas seems to have several
points which are worth considering.
A storage system of dissolved acety-
lene is now being used in locomotive
work by several railroads, with very
satisfactory results. The acetylene
fame is much more powerful as a
source of light than that from oil, and
its greater power extends the range of
vision OF the engineer without seri-
ously inconveniencing those on train
moving in the opposite direction, and
without bewildering those who come
| within the beam. The quality of the
light, or, one may say, its approxima-
tion to sunlight, is such that 1t does
not fade out or modify the colored
lights upon which it falls, and its fog
piercing qualities have brought 1t to
the attention of the maritime world,
and the production of acetylene gas
| by the process now In vogue has
brought its cost down to very satisfac-
tory figures. The whole headlight
question has aroused great deal Of
interest In this country and IN Canada,
and It is certain that the possibilities
of acetylene gas in this connection are
well worthy of serious consideration.

Many Reasons Assigned
For Financial Uncertainty

for the more or less general idea that
the decision Of the supreme court in
the American Tobacco case, now anx-
iously agaited each Monday, win be
conservative rather than destructive
from a financial point Of view, the
stock market last week would have
declined great deal more than it
did.
Attention to this entire matter must.
however, become more pointed by rea-
son Of the speeches delivered by At
torney General Wickersham Saturday
night, which, it is said, was approx
ed by the president and therefore
practically an utterance by Mr.. Taft
himself. Mr.. Wickersham declared
that while it would be beyond the
bounds of propriety for him to attempt
to forecast the decision of the SUI
preme court he was yet firmly per-
suaded that the control of vast con-
course Of competitive corporations
through the device of holding COM
pany and SO forth would be declared
to be in violation of the Sherman act"
Conversely, it has to be admitted in
all fairness that there also are signs
that the general business in country
is shading of somewhat. The dry
goods trade continues in a state of de-
moralization as the result of the high
prices and rapid fluctuations in the
price of cotton and financial losses
that have been occasioned in this
trade are giving rise to serious discus
sion. In iron and steel lines the lead
ing trade journals unite in the state
ment that trade is not good. At the
same time, taken in the aggregate,
business conditions cannot be de-
scribed as other than prosperous.
Among the railway, reports, of quite
large increases in gross earnings are
still the rule.

stemed Beef kidneys.

Take a fresh beef kidney and let It
stand in cold water about ten minutes.
Remove fat and skin, then cut or chop

Take about tablespoon of the gravy
In a cup, and when cool mix 1t with a
dessertspoon of flour to smooth. thin
paste.
Gradually stir into the stew until It
seems thick enough. Let simmer a
little while longer: serve very hot In
a covered dish. This can be prepared
the day before and simply heated the
next morning for breakfast.

British Naval Supremacy.

British naval supremacy is said to
date from the time of Alfred the
Great, who claimed and enforced for
English ships of war the right to be
saluted first Through the following
centuries this claim was continuously
disputed and objected to until lbs.
when the Dutch agreed to strike their
colors TO the EngAsa ia British wa
ters. Though The same honor had
long been exacted from French yes-
SEES, .alce lolgaasly agreed to the
same recognition in 1904.

covernment Furnishes strikore.

Naturalization of the Italian rail
ways has had a curious result. The
employees are now under the ban of
the criminal law. and the strikes Of
last year by the railway workers have
resulted in the prosecution of 1892
railway men at Turin for participation
in the big general strike of last year.
They are being tried in patches Of 30
each in the Turin iaw courts, and five
days in each legal week are assigned
for the trials until the whole OF the
cases are disposed of. 1t is reported
that similal trials ON smaller scale
are taking place at Rome, Milan,
Bologna anc other centers involved in
lie general strike. The lowest penal
