How to Make Tamarind Water.

The pulp of the tamarind, that &C.
centric looking pod which is to be
found in New York markets, has a pc
culiar tang" and is used in chilled
beverage called 'tamarind water"
Remove the seeds and pulp from the
pods, stripping off every particle of
hard, woody fiber that may cling to
it. To cupful Of shelled tamarinds
add a pint of boiling water. Stir the
mixture thoroughly until it Is thick.
Add cupful of sugar and squeeze as
much Of the mixture through strain
er as possible. Set 1t near ice to cool,
then add crushed ice and enough ice
water to thin it little. 1t should be
very cold when served Tamarind wa
ter, 1t is said, was once as popular as
lemonade. 1t is still used occasionally
for patients suffering from slight fe-
vers and Is recommended for bilious
troubles. 1t is also administered to
children instead of castor oil, as it is
SO much more attractive in flavor
This fruit is in season the year
around, but 1t is best in the months of
May and June.

FLAGS FOB DECORATION.
How to Make Banners and StreameH:
For Christmas Festival.


For Christmas Festival.
There is generally n demand at
Christmas time for banners and hag%
for decorative purposes, as they can
be very effectively introduced among
the holly, mistletoe and evergreens IN
the hall, ballroom and dining room,
while for school treats, parish teas,
ETC., they are quite indispensable.
These can be inexpensively made at
home, as no great skill is required.
Bunting will stand rough wear and
is cheap, but other materials may be
employed, such as alpaca, cloth, serge,
silk. woolen rep and cotton velvet. In
a hall either silk or alpaca would be
suitable. in a ballroom silk, in a din
ing room velvet or silk or, for a
school feast cloth or wOOlen rep.
The letters can be embroidered upon
the flag, but applique designs are more
effective and need very much less
work. If embroidered the ordinary
crewel stitch should not be used, as
the effect is too fat and not sufficient
~
es and the French knot are much the
best for either notices or devices, and
all kinds of thread may be used, ac-
cording to the quality Of the ground
work. Gold and silver thread, tapes
try and other woods may be utilized.
Having decided upon the size Of the
flag, cut the material to fit, lay 1t
upon a large table and arrange the in
scription, pinning each letter or Orna-
ment into position and carefully meas
uring the spaces to insure regularity.
In cutting out letters enormous size
is not altogether necessary for legi-
bility. Much more depends upon sim
plicity of form and in the grouping
of the letters of each word closely to-
gether and allowing a reasonable dis
tance between the words themselves.
When the motto or inscription is ar
ranged tack it firmly in place and note
the effect before sewing il; then close

The appropriation by the lower

parture in our foreign diplomatic

licences is not to exceed $3.50, 600,
but this amount will go much
farther in the building of suita-

Washington Letter.
Washington, Feb. 10.

washington, rep. III.
With scant three weeks of
the congressional session re-
naming, not one of the impor-
tant measures before Congress
when the session began has been
disposed Of. Reciprocity with
Canada marked a new line of
cleavage among the Republicans
and Democrats in Washington.
Early in the present week sena-
tors were hopeful that they might
solve the problem by letting the
reciprocity agreement severely
alone, but later it was brought
sharply to their attention that
unless there shall be a vote on
this reciprocity agreement they
will be called back to Washing
ton promptly after the 4th of
March and compelled to remain
until there is an expression in
the Senate either for or against
it. And now the President is a.
way from Washington making
speeches mainly devoted to this
reciprocity with Canada question
and there is a strong impression
that the country, except in iso-
lated parts, is in favor of the a.
greement recent ly made between
US and our northern neighbor.
The fact that the English papers
and the leader of the opposition
in the English Parliament are
opposed to the reciprocity agree
ment between Canada and the
United States will doubtless have
some influence in favor of it's ap-
proval by Congress in this coun-
try. 1t will be many years, per-
haps centuries, before the Uni
ted States and British America be-
come one country, but the divid-
ing line must some time fade Just
as the Mason and Dixon line has
faded. There are a hundred rea
sons for the commercial, social
and political solidarity of North
America. There is not one valid
reason in opposition. There is
no possibility of the absorption
of Canada by the United States
or the absorption of the United
States by Canada. Absorption
is not to be thought of, but COM
merce between the two countries
ought to be as free and unre-
stricted as between Ohio and In
diana.

Whitney Brothers Quartet at the
Wahpeton Opera House
Oct. 9Th.

The Whitney Brothers Quar-
tet is 80 noted throughout the
country that the Victor Talking
Machine Company has records
of several of their musical Sc
lections on sale everywhere.
Their parents were both musi.
clans and their lives have been
filled with music from earliest
infancy. None of them can re-
call time when they did not
sing, and Alvin even sang solos
in public at the age OF four.
Edwin's tastes are divided.
"Speaking pieces" had always
a fascination for him and from
the time he could talk he was
always at it.
The first public concert given
by the Whitney Brothers was
in August, 1901, at the Silver
Lake, New York Chautauqua.
Tneir father, then paster of the
Warsaw church, had agreed to
fill one nights entertainment
with Warsaw TALENT For one
reason or another all those
whom he had counted on went
back on him. In despair he
turned to his sons for help.
This they gladly gave and pre-
sented the Chautauqua with
full evening of quartets, solos
and readings with great sue
cess. Next to Carrie Nation,
they drew the largest crowd of
the season. The voices of the
Whitneys blend perfectly. Their
solo work is feature of each
program, while Edwin Whitney
is sure to make one of the hits
of the evening with his read.
