Innuendo.

When founded on fact, the malicious
hint often does vastly more harm than
the full disclosure. It has about it an
air of mystery which brings on train
of imaginings and begets groundless
suspicious which would quickly melt
into thin air were the whole truth
known. More especially is this the
case when the evil hint is blended
with words of commentator. Hes
an honest and temperate man, ETC.,
but" Oh, that mean, vile, hypocriti-
cal little but that has severed sc
many friendships and befouled sc
many a fair namei Where so much OF
good is spoken and the mean little
but" uttered with regretful sigh it
often looks like real pity. In reality
it Is but decking out and garlanding
the victim for the sacrifice. The en-
comium is used only as means OF at
tanning a dastardly purpose; with
colors fairer painting their foul ends
The slanderer is frequently but a

ones own garden with care, they need
not be washed, but this will not apply
to those which come from the city
markets. When we think of the hands
and clouds of dust through which they
nave passed we are willing to lose a
little of the flavor to be sure they are
we'll cleansed. They should never be
left standing in pan of water in a
warm room, or put into a colande1
where the sand washes down to the
bottom layer. Drop a few at a time
into pan of cold water, quickly re
move and drain. The sand will drOI
to the bottom of the pan. More solid
berries can be handled less carefully
but raspberries, blackberries and
Strawberries need careful handling.
Granite ware or agate are best fo1
use in preserving. Most fruits keeI

Something New,

How often we hear the housekeep
er say: IF it wasn't for the everlast
ing three meals day I could accom-
plish something"
1t seems to those who study house
hold problems that three meals a day
well prepared is an accomplishment
for any woman, but of course she
needs change occasionally. If the
husband would just remember that
she is interested in other things and
that a theater ticket or a bunch OF
roses would please her more than a
cook book, there would be fewer dis
couraged women.
A porch supper or a picnic, when be
shares the work, is a bright spot to
remember, for all work and no play
makes Jill dull, respondent woman
There are women who absolutely re-
fuse little outing for one excuse OF
another, and then wonder why their
husbands find them less interesting
than other women.
Demand little more, respect your
self and your calling, and above all
keep cheerful, and take an occasional
holiday. You owe it to yourself and
your family.

There are none of us who enjoy dc,
ing hard things very often; but in all
housekeeping there Is much that is
hard and some things unpleasant.
A good rule to follow in doing our
work is to do the hard tasks first, as
we used to do in childhood, with the
good things, save the choice bit for
the last as we would say: 1.-THE last
the best of all the game"
If one makes it practise to do the
hard task first we do away with the
long period of dreading, which is
worse than getting right at it.
i Without a definite planning to do
the difficult work first, 1t is the most
natural thing in the world to choose
the thing easier CT most enjoyable.
With a change the revision would
make in our lives, the hard work
would be more often behind us, fin
ished and done away with, and we,
free to enjoy much along the way that
would otherwise be crowded out, be-
cause Of the work ahead.

A delicious sauce for a vanilla ice
cream may be made as follows: Chop
the ginger from a pint jar Of Canton
ginger in small pieces, add the Juice
of an orange and tablespoonful of
lemon juice, together with the strip
from the ginger jar.
A nice luncheon dish for small
party is creamed mushrooms, or
sweetbreads, or chicken, served in
croustades. These may be easily made
by cutting off the tops of rolls, re-
moving the centers, then filling with
the creamed mixture. Croustades are
made of stale bread, which are very
dainty. Cut slices two and a half
inches thick, remove the crust, then
leaving half-inch margin all around,
cut down to half an inch from the bot
tom, and scrape out the crumbs in the
center. Brush with melted butter and
brown in the oven. Just before fill
ing them dip the rims in the beaten
white of an egg, then in chopped pars-
ley. This gives them a pretty fringe
of green. Sandwiches are always in
favor. A sweet one is prepared with
grated maple sugar, chopped nuts and
little cream. A crisp, appetizing
sandwich is made by adding slice or
two of cucumber to the bread and but
ter sandwich. Chopped olives make
another good filling.

up Immediately the extensive prelim

in New Mexico and Texas, so that
actual construction on the foundations
Of the Eagle dam shall be finished by
July, 1911.
The Rio Grande project, of which
the Eagle dam is the most important
engineering feature, will provide for
the reclamation of 10000 acres of land
lying in New Mexico, Texas and Mex
leo, in the valley where irrigation be.
gan before the discovery of America.
It is estimated that the entire pro
ject will cost approximately 100000.
The Eagle dam as planned by the rec
lamation service will be one of the
most remarkable structures of it's kind
in the world It will be Of rubble con,
crete, gravity type, with a maximum
height of 265 feet, length Of crest 1,40G
feet, and will contain 100000 cubic
yards The reservoir created by ii

water in the world, having a capacity
of 2,539,00 acre feet, or enough water
to cover that many acres foot deep.
It's capacity is nearly double that OF
the Roosevelt dam in Arizona and Is
considerably greater than that of the
famous Assouan dam, constructed and
recently enlarged by the English en-.
gineers on the Nile.

The Season for Pineapple,

early June than at any other season,
and for that reason the thrifty house
wife watches the markets to get low
prices and then proceeds to put up
the delicious fruit in various ways.
One needs to remember that pine
apple wastes about one-third Of it's

When 1t is desired for buildings. ice

When canned to be used as a sauce or

How Mr.. Graham Left Montreal.

To the Editor OF The Star:
In your issue Of yesterday is the follow
ing statement:
Samuel, Graham, one of the active
spirits or brokers of the National Trust
Company of Washington, in connection
with which former Treasurer of the United
States Huston, Henry NJ. Lewis and 9TH
ers recently became involved with the
Post Office Department, yielding to pres
sure, left Montreal, Canada, last week
and went to Plattsburg. N Y, where he
surrendered to the authorities. He was
released on $1,000 bond
Whoever informed The Star that Mr.
Graham yielded to pressure in going to
Plattsburg is guilty of MEASUREMENT,
which, if it came from any representative
of the government, is outrageous beyond
characterization. Had Mr.. Graham been SO
disposed he could have resisted eXtradi-
ton, for months at least, and it is ex-
ceedingly doubtful whether he could have
been extradited at all under existing
treaties. The simple fact is that. acting
upon my advice and that of his home
counsel, Mr. Graham voluntarily agreed
to come within the limits of the United
States, surrender himself to proper au-
thority and give bail for his appearance
at Washington to answer the charge
against him. I, personally, made the nee
essary arrangement with the United
States district attorneys Office here. and
Mr. Grahams appearance at Plattsburg
was in accordance with that arrange
ment.
It is against my rule to take notice of
newspaper comments upon cases with
which I am concerned, but, as Mr.. Ora
ham is a nonresident and stranger to
to make this exception.

His work in Rockville quickly won the
high regard Of the congregation there,
and recently decision was reached to
ask him to accept the pulpit. The church
is in fourishing condition.
