FOR THE UNEXPECTED GUEST.

A good idea to have at hand for
an emergency is a list Of easily pre-
pared dishes, with recipes at hand to
prepare, when an unexpected guest ar
riVes. In the futter Of preparation
one often forgets the most important
detail.
If one has an emergency shelf, with
cans, bottles and jars of good things,
the materials are easy to reach, for
we often lack in our dishes the most
important ingredient. Besides fruits,
preserves, pickles and relishes which
every good housewife prides herself
On keeping, a few cans Of soups, vege-
tables, fish, nuts, and dried fruits, all
in tight jars, are first aids to a square
meal.
For breakfast, a herring or two
shredded and added to the omelet,
makes a favor that adds zest to an
otherwise plain omelet.
The salad has now come to have
such an important place on the
luncheon and dinner table that no
meal seems complete unless provided
with ONE kind Of a salad. Even in
winter lettuce is reasonable in price,
and n may usually avail themselves
Of celery, while potatoes are always
with us. Every bit of vegetable left
over, of whatever kind, may be incor-
porated into some kind of a salad.
Apricot Short cake.-Prepare a rich
ghortcake in the usual manner, using
stewed apricots for the filling. A
sauce made of the juice, slightly
thickened and enriched with butter,
may be served with it.
Fried Sardines.-Drain the sardines
from the oil, dip them in lemon juice
and crumbs and fry in deep fat. Serve
in threes thrust through a lemon
ring.
A pretty and quick dessert, if \
has a little cream to use, is halves Of
peaches or pears served with sweet
ened whipped cream.
A delicious luncheon dish is white
sauce with chopped hard-cooked egg
white added and poured over buttered
toast. Sprinkle with the yolk put
through a ricer.

Love is the fulfilling of the law"
The law of love is a positive prin-
ciple. Neither morals nor manner
can be taught by saying do not"
The old law said, Thou shalt not"
but Jesus says. Thou shalt love"
Against the pharasaic legalism that
constructs a law of negative require
nents and calls it righteousness, he
places love, which is the soul of duty,
the unfailing fountain of all benefi-
enc and service. 1t displaces bad
ness by the "expulsive power of a
new affection" Love Is the fulfilling
Of the law" AS in the tree every bit
of bark, trunk, branch, twig, leaf and
bloom are manifestations of the n
life that builds up all its strength and
beauty, so every commandment of the
moral law and every virtue of the
moral life are transformed express
sions of the one central energy of low
ing. OF this single theme all hero
isms and sacrifices, all philanthropies
and reforms, all saintliness and use
fulness are endless variations.

COL. STEVENS NOT SATISFIED.
Declares Roads as Good as Those Of
Nearby States-Department
Is Handicapped.

bCCIdFCS nOdOS dS 0Oou DIS rose OF
Nearby States-Department
Is Handicapped.
Noting the advance in other States
regarding taking over whole sections
Of roads for State highways, Colonel
Edwin A. Stevens, State Road Com
missioner, was asked for his opinion
on this problem and what could be
done, and how the motor-vehicle traf-
fc wear could be settled. The colonel
was at work on the problem then, has
been at work on it for some time, and
is preparing suggestions for the solu-
ton of the problem for his annual re-
port. When he puts it out it will be
a most f~ar-reaching proposition on the
subject, covering several years. The
engineering ability of Colonel Stevens
is expected to bring before the people
a settlement of some vexatious road
problems. Then the Legislature can
tackle it, and there will be some adj
vance which could come from a COM
plete grasp of the subject.
Careful Study Needed.
Colonel Stevens said, preliminary
to his report: "The problem of secur-
ing good roads throughout the State
will require very careful study, thor
oughgoing hard study. If we are to
do the thing thoroughly we must take
in everything from the Hudson Boule-
ward and Broad street, Newark, to the
almost abandoned country by-way. 1
an almost daily in receipt of letters
from some little municipality whose
roads have failed under the heavy
motor traffic of these days, asking for
their share, or some share, of the Mo-
tor Vehicle Fund. I am handicapped
in this, because under the law this
money, for the benefit of the whole
people, can only be used or the most
important roads. We must tackle the
problem, for the people need good
roads and mean to have them. How
can l get it through with an office
force already overworked and an ex-
pense appropriation inadequate for
our hands to meet needs, is something
of a puzzle. l shall get there some
how. I don't know yet quite how, but
it would be poor sport if it we're too
easy. Yes, you may say that 1 am
not satisfied with the condition of our
roads. They are as good as those Of
other States around us-that is, the
improved roads are-but l want them
as good as any in the world, and will
not be satisfied until I get them that
way; and I do not expect to accom-
plish that before my term expires"

Hunting Law Restrictions.

Hunting Law Restrictions.
While the hunting season lasts It
will be legal to hunt and kill quail,
rabbits, partridge, English pheasants,
squirrels, prairie chickens, wild tur-
key, Hungarian partridge, woodcock,
black and mallard and all other ducks
with the exception Of wood-ducks,
swan, geese and brant. 1t will be I'M
lawful to kill in any one day more
than ten quail, three English pleas
ants. three Hungarian partridge, ten
w~oodcock. three ruffed grouse, COM
monty called partridge, twenty ducks,
ten geese. ten brant or ten rabbits.
The Penn's Grove record., 1912-11-01
No Relief Offered.

A hunter can neither keep the kill
OF three days until he returns home
and take it with him, nor ship it home
at the end of each day. If the latter
course were followed he would have
in his possession when he reached
home more game than the law al
lows unless his family disposed of 1t
in the meantime. An appeal to the
State game authorities for a ruling on
the matter brought an answer that
the law was passed in the interest of
game preservation, and will be en-
forced.

MUST BEAR SPECIAL STAMPS.
Ordinary Postage Not Accepted or
Parcels Post Packages.

New York.-Ordinary postage stamps
will not do on packages destined for
the parcels post after January 1.
Postmaster Morgan has just called
attention in a circular to the fact that
a distinctive parcels post stamp must
be used, and that packages bearing
the ordinary stamps will be treated
as held for postage"
Other regulations for parcels post
packages are that each one must bear
the return card of the sender or will
not be accepted for mailing, and that
such parcels are mailable only at sta
tons designated by the postmaster.

of Explosion in Seattle.
Indianapolis.-Prof. ]. D. Wagner of
Seattle, a witness in the dynamiting
cases, told the jury how he had inno-
Gently assisted the dynamiters in their
work of destruction. He said J. B.
Mcnamara came to him at Seattle in
August, 1910, and asked instruction in
causing explosions by the use of clock
work. Mcnamara claimed that the
arrangement did not always work,
and Wagner gave him lessons in the
use of the device. A few days later,
or, on August 81, the Lyons Building
in Seattle was blown up.

Farmers Post Lands.

The farmers throughout the State
are posting their land against the
hunters. Ground that has been free
to everybody in the past is now
marked private" The farmers have
learned that they can lease the hunt
ing privilege to city hunters and at
the same time board them during
their stay. In some instances where
there is good meadow land, and game
is assured, $50 for the first three days
has been paid. In many instances the
privilege brings no more than $40.

Wharton Tract PURCHASE.

The purchase of the Wharton tract
Of 10000 acres in South Jersey for
water supply by the State has been
authorized at a price somewhat under
$40 an acre. The water supply will
be of vast future benefit, but if the
State can get so great a tract of land
for such a price, it should acquire it
anyway.

Object to New Law.
Thousands of sportsmen who will
invade the woods and fields at the
general opening of the fall season for
upland game are deeply concerned
and somewhat indignant over a law
passed last winter by the Legislature
which prohibits the killing or having
in possession more than ten rabbits
in any one day. They declare that if
a man goes on a three-day trip and
obeys the law as to killing he will
still be in conflict with the law unless
he makes final disposition of his bag
at the end of each day.

Courts and Water Supplies.
Paterson juries have been giving

Of the water supply from mills. There
are a hundred questions involved of
vast Importance to the State, but I'M
happily the trial court has been numb
and the appellate court has been
dumb, SO far. A Paterson jury has
voted large damages against Newark
and the rest of creation for Paterson
firms without a conception Of the
broad issues involved, and their ig-
norance was not enlightened by the
Judges sitting in the case. Z
