Zanzibar.

Zanzibar, now figuring as a possi-
BILE pawn in an Anglo-German deal,
has not come into the British empire
without paying heavy price in blood
and treasure. The island of cloves
was visited for the first time by the
British fleet during the Napoleonic
scare era, but since then we have
kept the upper hand. Very uncompli-
mentary things have been said about
the people of Zanzibar. Professor
Drummond found the island in 1888,
Oriental in appearance, Mohamme-
dan in religion, Arabian in morals-a
cesspool of wickedness, fit capital for
a dark continent" But the British
residents appear to have a good time
big dinners, golf, tennis and cricket.
The local cricket team indeed can be
beaten only by the combined strength
of the British fleet, ''once a year, and
sometimes not even then"

Why Willie Was Left.

Mayor Hunt of Cincinnati said of a
disgruntled politician:
His hands are tied. He can do
nothing. He is like Willie in the
Christmas game Of snapdragon
Willie, at a Christmas party given
by his sister, was allowed to partici-
pate in the snapdragon game, and sat
amid band of beautiful girls of nine
teen or so.
"The lights went out, the usual
grabbing for favors began, and then,
when the lights went up again, Willie
was to be seen crying bitterly
What's the matter Willie? Didn't
you get anything?' lady asked.
No. sobbed Willie, spitefulll AS
soon as it got dark that consarned
man with the brown whiskers-boo,
hoo!-he grabbed my hands and didn't
stop kissing them till the lights went
up again!'"

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER.

When baking dish gets burnt, dc
not scratch or scrape it until nerves
and nails are worn out, but put into
the dish little water and take some
ashes from the ash pan; let stand or
the back part of the stove for a hall
a day if necessary to soak off, when il
can be easily scraped clean.
Egg stains on silver spoons may be
quickly removed with a bit of salt on
the finger, rubbing we'll.
Chopping the tougher portions OF
meat hastens the cooking, and SO
saves time and fuel.
When one uses gas for cooking, the
small simmering burner is valuable
one to know how to use. Much of the
cooking may be finished on it when
the food is first we'll heated and boil
ing on larger burner.
Avoid much fried food, especially
in the evening. Escalloped dishes,
cream soups and oysters with maca-
roni or rice, Clipped beef with cream
on toast are all good supper dishes.
To remove scorch marks from linen,
wet and lay in the bright sunshine. In
few hours it will be as white as
ever, unless the fiber has been de.
stroyed by the heat.
Sweet Potato Soup.-Boil and mash
a few sweet potatoes and return to
the water in which they were cooked;
add salt and pepper to taste, a spoon
full or two of peanut butter, and serve
with the addition Of a little milk or
cream.
Fruit slrup Sauce.-Cook together a
cup of fruit sirup. one-half cup of
sugar we'll mixed with tablespoonful
of cornstarch. Cook until smooth, then
add tablespoonful of butter.
This sauce is especially nice with
cottage pudding, which is a simple
cake baked and cut in squares with
the sauce poured over it.
