net surplus on MAY l, was 2es.S79 cars,

Figures compiled by the Southern
Pacific Company both for March and the
past six years make an impressive show
ing in the reduction and prevention OF
accidents. Out of 5000 employees the
road had not a single fatality in March
in any department Of the company.
The company now has a record of hav-
ing operated its entire lines for five years
and eight months without a single fatal
dCCluent 10 II passenger resulting lTOTi1
train operation. In March the Pacific
system of the company carried 3.079 900
passengers an aggresate distance OF l02.-
SIS. coo miles without a single injury: only
one of the 1900 employees of that sys-
TEN was injured in a train accident.
The Pennsylvania system lines both
east and west; has at the present time
total of approximately 5000 freight
cars idle. Something less than half of
this number are undergoing repairs, or
are in storage awaiting repairs Repair
work is being delayed to an Unusual eX
tent because of the slackness OF demand
for equipment. The company is going
on the principle that 1t is unwise to in
vest money in repairs long in advance
of the probable need for the cars.

said he had no fear Of a European in
vasion in the shoe market. The tariff,
he said, would make little or no differ

efficiency of the American workman.

ANCIENT AFRICAN CUSTOMS

In the fourteenth century when the
African historian Ibn Batuta made
his journey across the desert frou
Morocco to the Niger he relates how
water was stored in trees by the
people," this custom is still common
in Kordofan to this day. The tree Is
the Banian or Tebeldi tree (Adan
sonia digitata); 1t is followed out
when necessary, and is in some cases
mended with bricks and cement The
trees are filled up by the Arabs dur
ing the rains, and are a source of in

of bees in hollow trees for the sake
of the honey. This is common prac.
tice in the Soudan, where hollow
trunks. stopped with mud, are placed
in trees by the natives with a view
Of attracting the bees for the sake OF
their honey.

and the answer. "Oh. all right. Just

causes chemical change in the blood.
resulting in the production of a poison
resembling the curare poison which
certain savage tribes use for arrows.
Arrow poison. however. is of vege-

ECONOMY IN FRYING MEDIUMS
All Fats That Are Produced When
Cooking should Be Preserved for
Use In the Future.

A needless expense in many house,
holds is the waste of valuable fats
and oils. In the Kitchens without
number the most excellent shorten.
ing" and frying mediums are thrown
out in the garbage can.
The provident New Englander or
French woman 10 Mortified at this ex-
travagance. as they save every bit OF
fat and try 1t out for use in cooking.
The top of the pot"--that is. that fat
that rises on the water in which corned
beef is boiled or soup stock-is excel
lent to use for shortening In ginger
bread or cookies. Tried out chicken
is equal to the best olive oil and can
even be used in making mayonnaise
or French pastry. Mutton and lamb
fats are too tallowy and hard to be
used in cooking. but they make first
class camphor ice or lotion for chapped
hands, cracked heels and chilblains.
There is no better trying medium than
half lard and aaiY drippings or equal
parts of suet tried out and drippings;
yet extravagant cooks and ignorant
housewives often insist on using but
ter, which, aside from its prohibitive
price. is apt to burn. Bacon. ham
and pork fat are all good for frying
potatoes, liver. corn meal mush and
eggs. With close oversight to see
that these shortcomings and frying
mediums are not wasted. the butter
bill. even In midwinter, may be kept
comparatively small.-Emma P. Tel.

In these days Of high priced meats
the cost Of living can be materially
reduced by the use of the cheaper cuts
Of meat, which are really delicious

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE DINNER
TABLE.

Each month in the year brings Its
own artistic decorations, which may
be varied In countless manner. When
all things fail. as well as ingenious
ideas, one may borrow from others
who have given us their experience.
A most amusing way Of placing
guests is that OF placing baby pic
ture OF each guest for place card.
These may be obtained unbeknownst
to the victim.
For a children's table, a log cabin
made of colored stick candy, rail
fence and walk inside Of tiny sticks
laid closely together. Ones own taste
will suggest ways of using this sug-
gestion.
A fern ball suspended over the din
ner table, with sprays of fern for dec
Grafton radiating from the center. A
pink rose or two laid around on the
cover makes a most attractive dinner
table.
A novel idea for the finger bowl is
to sprinkle a green spray of rose
leaves and press on the bottom of the
glass bowl, then have few petals
OF the rose floating about in the wa
ter.
A novel way to arrange a shower
for a "to be" bride, is to have pack
age or two brought in after each
course. and each guest have the fun
Of helping to undo one for the hon.
ored guest.
A small ice tub to hold olives is
both attractive and useful. for we all
like our olives cold. Freeze ice in a
tomato can, and when solid take It
out and make center to hold the
olives by sinking a baking powder
can filled with hot water in the cen
ter of it. Place the tub on deep
plate surrounded by green leaves and
filled with olives.
When grapes are in season there
is no more beautiful decoration for
the table than various colored grapes
in the foliage, arranged for a center
piece.

FOR THE LUNCH BASKET.

The lunch basket must serve more
than one or two classes OF people.
The laboring man at work. in or out
Of doors. the child at school. the busi-
ness man and woman. The character
of the food need not be radically
changed, but there will be smaller
quantities and greater variety for the
different people, as to age and occu-
patton.
For those who exercise but little, like
office men or women, food that is cas-
lily digested should be provided. and
not in large quantities.
The one great fault Of everybody is
eating too much. For the business.
woman. slice or two of rye or whole
wheat bread, with cheese in the form
of a sandwich, and an apple with
glass OF milk, makes an excellent
lunch. A baked apple with bread and
butter, a head of lettuce with French
dressing in small dish, cup of Gus
tard will be with cup of tea or milk
another substantial lunch.
Celery, dates stuffed with nuts,
fig or two or an orange. banana are
always fine accessories to any lunch.

Two slices OF white bread well but

SOME PUoDiNes.

Some of the old.fashioned puddings
which were favorites of our grand
mothers are being used today on our
best tables.
The common bread pudding may be
made into one of the most delectable
Of desserts, using cocoanut. other nuts,
chocolate. orange rind, lemon rind
and other things to vary the flavor. A
very good pudding may be made OF
stale cake crumbs with some leftover
canned fruit, put in layers and baked
as one does Brown Betty.
Lemon Puddlnq.-Mix the yolks OF
four eggs with four tablespoonfuls OF
sugar, the juice of lemon and two
tablespoonfuls OF water; cook In the
double boiler until smooth and thick,
stirring constantly. Fold in the whites
when the cooked mixture Is cool. to
which has been added two tablespoon
fuls OF sugar.
Carrot PuddIng.-This is an old
English recipe and can be changed to
cup measure, II SO desired Mix to-
gether half pound each OF flour,
seeded raislns. potatoes and carrot
grated, suet chopped fine. one tea
spoonful each of cinnamon, cloves and
soda dissolved In little water; then
add half cup of sugar one teaspoon
full of salt. one egg beaten. Turn into
a well buttered mold after giving the
mixture thorough beating. and boil
two hours or steam three. Serve with
a hard sauce made by creaming a
third of cup OF butter. add two
thirds Of cup of powdered sugar
and a teaspoonful of vanilla; fold in
a half cup of whipped cream.

a half cupfuls of cracker crumbs with
boiling water; let stand until cool.
then add one pint of milk. one-third
OF cup of molasses. one egg slightly
beaten. cupful Of raisins finely cut:
put into mold and steam four hours.
Let stand in mold until cool. Serve
with creamy sauce made by creaming
half cup Of butter, adding cup of
powdered sugar, then a fourth Of a
cup OF milk and two tablespoonfuls Of
orange juice, with little Of the graf
ed rind. Add the liquids slowly. to
keep them from curdling. The hard
sauce for the carrot pudding is good
also for this.
