Among new sandwiches noted lately at
sma rt functions are some made of French
bread with a filling of finely minced
chicken. highly seasoned with salt and
pepper and moistened with cream instead
of mayonnaise. Other sandwiches at the
same table were of sliced brown bread
spread with barbecue jelly topped by
thin LAYER of cream cheese.
Another delectable sandwich is made of
thin toast, with plenty Of butter and
grape fruit marmalade.

ANY OLD WAY.

More men have ANY Old Way for
their motto than most of us realize. 1t
Is apparent enough to any one who has
his eyes open upon the public thor
oughfares. There is the driver who
comes into the crowded street of a
city and drives diagonally up to the
walk and runs about his business leaV-
ing the end of his carriage in the way
Of the trolley and the traffic just as
IL he were in a country lane He would
feel insulted were it said that he knew
ne better; and he will tell you it was
just inadvertenee, or thoughtlessness +;
and il you have suffered you quite
likely will think "Shiftlessness fits that
trick better"
Perhaps you have noticed that some
automobile drivers leave their cars at
the curbing in the same way and
cause no little trouble for themselves
and others by the habit. They are like
the teamsters and expressmen who
constantly violate the city ordinance
forbiddjng the .cIogging of crosswalks
or sidewalks by their traffic. They
think il does no harm and need that
polite Information and hint which "a
clever policeman is capable of giving
them in an effective way.
There are a lot of little street nuis-
ances which constantly irritate the
people just because those guilty of ere
ating them think ANY old way will
do"
The right way is the only way to
do things; and it would be better for
all concerned if the Needless were
made to realize the fact.

THE IMPRESSION THE DAKOTA
MADE ABROAD.

There is no doubt that the Dakota
was a complete surprise to the Euro
pean powers. not only on account of
her size and general equipment, but
because she was the only vessel that
did not have to coal up abroad, but
had fuel enough with her to make the
round trip. which she did. She is the
only type of a fighting ship that can
cover four or five thousand miles with
one coaling. which gives her the great
est zone of influence extant.
1t is evident that d fleet of three or
four such battleships during the Am

This is something Europe has not

not one ship that can accomplish such

source Of worriment 10 the lighting

sURsANk's NEW STRAWBERRY.

We are told that Luther Burbank
has created a straw berry with the
flavor of pineapple.
There IS nothing very appealing in
this 10 those who are always eIamor-
ing for the cultivated strawberry with
the real wiid-strawberry flavor, which
has not yet been attained in the mon
ster berries now grown.
Those who have grown and eaten
the white strawberry. which has a
distinct banana flavor give it up in a
few years because of its insipidity
While it is a sizeabIe fruit and tooth
some. there is no demand for it in the
market. and it is principally grown by
those who cherish odd things.
The story is that MIR. Burbank five
years ago got one of his collectors to
send him seeds of wild straw berries
from the CordilIera and from the coast
regions, and from the plants which
grew from these seeds he found one
that promised to be of great value
when crossed with the best American
and European strains, until he finally
produced this one with a pineapple
flavor what he recognizes as prize.
Doubtless -this new berry will be in
sharp demand and from a business
point of view IS a prize. and will lib
orally remunerate the growers; but
the public is not yearning for a straw
berry that tastes like a pineapple any
more than it is for a pineapple that
tastes like a strawberry.
What the public wants is a straw
berry that weighs an ounce and a half
and that has the exact flavor of the
wild strawberries which grow wild in
the fields of New England; and there
is room still for the best strawberry
of this kind.
The people would like a longer straw
berry season. such as has been Great
ed in Great Britain, where. by success
sive crops of later and later berries.
this fruit is to be had all through the
