WITH CITYS PRIDE AT HEART
Santa Fe journal RegretfuIIy But
Firmly Calls Attention to Mu-
nicipal Dereliction.

The New Mexican does not wish
to be unpleasantly or unduly critical,
but a dead rooster at the corner of
Palace and Lincoln avenues has lain
there unburied for three consecutive
days.
There is no doubt about that roost-
er's death. No physicians certificate
is required, as the passerby may tes-
tify. He has passed away. Now,
while one rooster occupies compare
lively little space, and while casual
visitor to the city might not notice
him, the principle Of the thing is
wrong. One tourist might see that
rooster and fail to see the old palace;
and his report on Santa Fe would fea-
ture the fact that it had no facilities
for interring or removing defunct
ROSTERS.
Let no visitor to the Oldest-Newest
city in the United States see unburied
rOOsters on our street corners. 1t Is
the little things that go to make the
big impressions. Every rooster re-
moved and buried makes Santa Fe one
rooster the cleaner, one rooster the
brighter and more attractive.
Let us let no dead rooster escape
or any other debris, animal, vegeta-
BILE or mineral, on the streets of this
beautiful capital city Of New Mexico.

wedge CD. Cut wedge F to fit the
open end of the clothespin, and after
cutting the cardboard shoe E by the
pattern of Fig 7, fold it as shown in
Fig. 6. tack to the edges of wedge F,
and slip into the open end Of the
clothespin as shown in Fig. 5. Then
drive couple of tacks through the
clothespin into wedge F.
Figures 8 and 9 show how the Gro

pin head and a stick handle. Cut the
stick about Is inches long, and thin
enough for one end to slip into the
opening in the clothespin, and fasten
it with small tacks driven through the
sides of the clothespin. Make mallets
for four or six players.
1t is customary to mark the mallets
with colored bands, a different color
for each mallet, and to mark the GRO
quet balls with bands of corresponding
colors so each player may know his
ball from the rest. TIE croQuet

EXPERIENCE OF OTHERS.

He Is wise who will avail himself
of others experiences and profit by
them; but human nature is a good
deal alike in all ages. We wish to
have our own, make our own mistakes
and successes. To one who has lit
tie knowledge of the principles OF
cookery, the school OF experience Is
often q dear teacher. The path Is
smoothed somewhat for her who will
pies of cookery, of which the follow
ing are some:
Never bake or cook food that has
egg in 1t at very high temperature.
If egg Is to be baked, set the dish in
a pan of hot water to equaliZe the
heat and temper it.
All vegetables should be put to cook
In boiling water, as the starch needs
a high temperature to burst the
grains. Baked potatoes are thus more
wholesome because a higher tempera-
ture than boiling can be maintained
throughout the cooking.
Potatoes, to be dry, mealy and d.
drained as soon as tender, then cover
Of the kettle removed and the steam
quickly dispelled from them by shak-
ing the kettle over the heat
Coffee is ruined by long cooking on
the grounds. If it is to be served
boiled, see that the pot is clean and
sweet; put in tablespoonful Of cot
fee for every cup of boiling water, a
pinch of salt, and then pour on the
fresh boiled water. Keep the cover
up and watch it; when it boils up
stir 1t down. Do this three times, then
put down the lid and set it aside for
five minutes to settle. Egg adds to
the flavor as we'll as settles coffee,
and may be added, to it's improving
When adding egg, however, remember
to dilute it well with cold water, to
dissolve the albumen before stirring
it into the coffee, for otherwise it
coats the coffee and the strength is
not extracted.
If the ideal method for making cot
fee is used, very finely ground coffee
Is cooked in a percolator There is no
danger of getting bitter, unwholesome
coffee by this method, as the liquid
cannot stand on the grounds.
If cream is not obtainable for this
good cup of coffee, a third of a cup
OF hot milk put into the cup and
little strong coffee added makes a
fair substitute.

Peelino Onions for a Livinu.

The profession of onion peeling Is
not one that obtains much notice, yet
there are at least five hundred women
living by removing the skins of onions.
With practice, they can make four or
five shillings per day. Very often they
have been peeling since childhood.

1t is not a profession you can learn
in one lesson, for the skin must be
removed by hand, or the onion Juices"
are of no use for picking. The onions
are always peeled in water. This ia
not to save the eyes of the peeler. but
is done to keep the onion white.

TOY TRAVELLING CRANE.
BY A. NELLY HALL.


This is an easily carried out idea
that will be productive of a great deal
Of fun. The crane may be used to
hoist earth, and dump it to one side
out of the way, in building miniature
Panama canal, or for excavating for a
toy well, or any other play engineering
feat you may think of; 1t may be
placed upon a porch when it can travel
back and forth with its boom, or swing
ing arm, extending out over the rail-
ing, and the hosting cable lowered to
the yard below, to hoist things to the
porch; and it may even be used to
right wrecked" toy wagons and
trains.
The toy crane may be built upon
your express wagon, or homemade
wagon of the form shown in Fig. 1.
A clothes-pole or short rug-pole may
be used for the mast GA, Fig. p. The
lower end should stick through hole
cut in the wagon-bed, and the two
crosspieces B should be nailed to the
sides several inches above the bot
tom end SO they will rest upon the
wagon-bed. When the mast has been
set in place, nail pair of crosspieces
similar to pair B to it's end, beneath
the wagon-bed, to brace it. The stick
B, nailed to the upper crosspieces, is
the lever by which the mast is turned
The mast-top pulley is a thread
spool, mounted on long spike driven
through the blocks d, and blocks D are
securely nailed to the end Of the mast

FOOD FOR THE FAMILY.

Pineapple Dessert.-Cut a fresh
cover with sugar. Let stand over
night, then slice three oranges in nice
slices, add a cupful of shredded al
monds that have been blanched, bit
of chopped preserved ginger, dozen
marshmalloWs cut in quarters and,
when ready to serve mix with whipped
cream sweetened and favored. Gar
nish with candied cherries.
Peacheneno.-Rub a cupful of fresh
or nice favored canned peaches
through sieve, add sugar to make
quite sweet. Beat the whites of three
eggs until stiff, and fold into the peach
pulp Turn into a buttered mold and
set in a pan of hot water. Bake until
firm. Serve with whipped cream.
Here is a good and palatable way
of using extra bread crumbs:
Bread Crumb Riscuit.-Soak a quart
Of crumbs in quart of milk for three
hours. Then add half cup of melted
shortening and enough flour to stiffen,
two teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
teaspoonful of salt and a teaspoonful
of sugar with two we'll beaten eggs.
If dropped in well creased gem pans
they may be quite soft and are better
made in that manner.
French SaIad.-Peel three Spanish
onions, scoop out teaspoonful from
the center of each, fill with butter,
salt and seasoning of pepper; put in
a baking dish and add little water.
Bake until brown. When the onions
are cold, cut them in quarters and
place them on a bed Of water cress.
Skin half a dozen sardines and lay
them on the quarters Of onion. Serve
with French or a boiled dressing.
Dreamed Carrots With Peas.-Cook
together new carrots and green peas.
Add the peas when the carrots are
partly cooked, as they need less time
IN cooking Serve in rich white
sauce. Small new potatoes and green
onions may be added, and call it
gypsy stew.

HAD NO NEED OF THE BIBLE
Students Very Much in Error When

A good story is told about the late
Henry Ward Beecher, who was &C.
customed to find his inspiration
wherever he might open the Bible.
He was preaching once before the
Harvard students One of the stu
dents in a spirit of deviltry removed
the Bible from the altar and substi-
tuted Webster's dictionary. The word
was passed around, and as the noted
divine assembled the pulpit the collie
gians leaned back to enjoy the fun.
Doctor Beecher adjusted his glasses
and opened the book.

Then, as casually as if nothing had

gun to look sheepish They never
again tried to play joke on Henry
