some covered with pink frosting and
others with white. They certainly
looked delicious, yet / could not quite
understand why the children were so
eager about getting them until |
broke one open. Then saw that each
little girl had found a dolly baked
i'm her cake and every boy a china
rabbit, dog or other small animal.
Warning had been given to break the
cakes open carefully, as there was
something hidden inside; so when the
plates were passed around there was
great excitement. The dolls were the
kind we used to buy at the corner toy
shop, about an inch long, sold at the
rate of two for a cent. The animals
were bought by the dozen. That clever
mother knew the child heart, and how
dearly surprises are loved, so when
she baked the cakes she put toy in
each one. Thus, for about 80 cents
she provided fun for as many children
and occupation for the rest of the af-
ternoon.

So much is heard nowadays about
extravaganza at children's parties
that many women are afraid to at
tempt to arrange simple entertain
ment for the little folk, thus depriving
them of some of the greatest delights
of child life.
Yet it is very easy to please chill
dren, and if little time and thought
are given to the task of preparation
the question of expense need not deter
any mother who wishes to provide a
happy afternoon for her children and
their little friends.
To prove it is not difficult to enter
tain in simple way, let me tell you
what was done by a suburban hostess
recently. The story has just come to
me from a mother of one of the little
guests:
AT a suburban party the other day
l was surprised at the interest shown
by the children in the small cakes that
were served with the ice cream. They
were pretty little homemade cakes,

FlOrentine Eggs.

To use bits of leftover vegetables,
French cooks have devised many ways
worth trying by home cooks. Floren-
tine eggs make a delicious entree or
luncheon dish. If prepared in individ-
ual ramekins, which is preferable for
serving, place a spoonful of cooked
spinach in the bottom of the dish, with
seasoning of salt, pepper, butter and
few grains of mace. Over this
break an egg, and allow it to cook as
if poached. Sprinkle little grated
cheese over the top, and brown before
serving.

Butter Curls.

Instead of making round butter
balls, it is possible to make attractive
curls of butter with a hooked-shape
knife which comes for the purpose.
1t has saw-tooth edge. Have bowl
of ice in your lap. Plunge the curls
into hot water, run it over a large
cake of butter, drawing the knife to-
ward you, from the cake which is on
the table. Let the curl rool off into
the bowl of ice.

The legislature of 1905 passed
an act to establish a state sana-
forum.
The appropriation therefore
became available later in that
year and a board of trustees,
appointed by the governor, i'm
mediately began to seek a suit
able site. Finally the one offer
ed by the citizens of Howell was
selected and work begun to pre-
pare the buildings. The site Sc
lected is situated on the height
of land in the southern part of
the lower peninsula. An extern
sive view is obtained in all di-
rectiOns over a radius of about
twenty miles. The general ele-
walton is 1880 feet above sea
level. In summer the fresh
breezes keep the air from be-
coming as humid as in the val
legs below and in winter the dry
air is less cold than the sur
rounding country.

New Foreign Minister

WASHINGTON. May 2.-Licentiate Esteba Ruiz has been appointed min ister of foreign affairs in the Huerta cabinet to succeed Portillo y Roias, re- tired The Spanish ambassador here was officially informed of the appoint ment by cable this morning.
 Ruiz was under Secretary Roias. It is authoritatively stated that the change will not affect the progress of mediation
 Spanish Ambassador Riano carried the cable announcement of Ruiz's ap- pointment to the Argentine legation The mediators were at once called into conference
 The appointment of Ruiz and the re- tiremcnt of Roias was a complete sur prise to the officials here, the media tors having received no hint of the impending change.
 In some quarters it was felt that Huerta is directing affairs and that Ruiz is more emenable to his directions than Rojas Ruis becomes the success sor to Huerta in case of a vacancy due to the absence of the vice president In well posted diplomatic quarters, the appointment of Esteva Ruiz as Huertas minister of foreign affairs is accepted as meaning that Huerta would take a stronger and more direct hand in the mediation negotiations. but there also is reason to believe Hucrta had come to recognize that the failure of mediation would carry him down with it.
 It Was known that as late as last Wednesday, after PortillO had given Huerta'S acceptance of mediation, Hu- erta held a conference with one of the European ministers at Mexico City at which Huerta expressed doubt of medi- alton, and urged that the European powers ought to get together on some alternative plan. His main desire was that they should bring about arpitra- tion, binding both parties. instead of mediation. No action was taken. Ruiz is comparatively unknown in Mexican official life He is 3S years old, d lawyer, and has had about four years in minor branches of the diplo- matic service besides once serving as consol at Havana

TWO LARGE WHITE OWLS
 MAKE NEST IN PHOENIX
Take Possession of Gable of Phoenix National Bank and-Well,
 Read It

Two large white owls of destruc- tive tendencies are Winging their way about Phoenix these days, ac- Cording to a correspondent of The Republican. who signs himself "C. E." Ordinarily, the occasion of a visit to Phoenix by pair of owls would not attract much attention, because all kinds of people and things are drawn to Phoenix by it's many advantages.
 But these owls-they are temper amental creatures. They live in tall buildings where they have gas, cleo tric light and hot and cold and run ming water and cooling systems for hot summer days. They are owls of 8 modern make and scorn anything which may seem out of date.
 e. B." says this pair of owls has been living together in happiness for four years in a hole under one of the water spouts in the south wing, west side, of the Fleming block.
 Says "C. B." with an air of au- thoritY:
 Many an evening have l watched these owls crawl out of this hole and fly on the top wall when the first lights were lit, stand by it and look around, and starting oft with ore of those shriIl cries, fly low over the city to find their prey. It was only a few nights ago while quite a number of men were sitting in front of the courthouse park benches, one of these owls came sweeping down on a tame pigeon who happened to be roasting on the front gable of the court house, and carried its prey on the top wall of the Fleming building, where it could be seen picking the feathers off the dead pigeon and preparing it for the evening, rather morning meal for its young brute
 This, to The Republican, seems to be a deplorable condition of affairs. Owls, it seems. are best provided for in cages. And here, right in the middle of the city of Phoenix, they are using the court house for the front of saloon-using it for a place where village gossip may be exchanged with impunity and cigar cite stubs can be thrown into the ditch.
 Those shrill cries of the owls are also a source of much displeaSure. No owls should be permitted to utter skrill cries within the corporate linn it's of the city of Phoenix. The fact that these owls cry in shrill tones just before they are sweeping low over the city to find their prey makes the situation more aggravat ing. Sweeping low over the city to find prey is not considered good form in Phoenix.
 Come now to the pigeon which was minding its own business on a gable of the court house. It is hard to understand why the pigeon should be, dragged into this affair. The bird evidently meant to do we'll Never theless, the owl, sweeping low over the city sees fit to grab the pigeon in the small of the back. And the next scene gentle reader, presents the park loungers, viewing with j&undiced eye the torture of the pigeon, which a few moments before had been conducting itself with pro- priety on the gable of the court house.
