Chinese TITLES. With a string

I MPEROR YUAN has gone back to first

the throne of China. modifying those prn-
ciplcs by ways ANA tricks which arc neither
dark nor vain though he is heather
Chinee. Following the example Of the
Kings OF the Middle ages he is terrifying
himself by the creation of lot OF mobiles,
who in all common, feudal fairness will he cx-
pcc,ed to rally to his banner in time OF
trouble.
But-and here the Emperor shows the sort
of folly of which a fox Nigh, he proud he
has made the titles conferred on his mobiles
hereditary as long rs the government lasts.

ence, too.
Aside from the hostility of the
Harrison faction to Sullivan, there
were other Democrats who believe in
President Wilson who saw in a vic
tory for the Hearst-Sullivan alliance
a setback for President Wilson. And
the two consecutive defeats for Rog-
er Sullivan, in the senatorial election
last year and the city election Tues
day, will put a decided crimp in Sui
ivan's political strength. No leader
can keep on leading his party to de-
feat and retain his influence. The
good soldiers get tired of being licked.
1t was plain enough to a student
of politics that the campaign mapped
out to put SweitZer over, after his
election last year as county clerk,
was to combine German and Catholic
voters. But it was poor planning. 1t
didn't take into account the impor-
tant fact that no class of voters en-
joys being herded, stampeded or de-
Ivered.
There is no man in Chicago who
can soidify the Catholic vote, the
German vote, the Irish vote, the
Methodist vote. or any other class
vote, for the simple reason that there
is no such thing as a class vote.
There may be uniformity as to re-
ligion among Catholics, Methodists,
Baptists and other sects, but when
it comes to politics they split up just
as other men and women do.
The landslide for Thompson is
proof enough that he received thou
sands of Catholic and German votes,
just as he received thousands of other
kinds of votes. l should say that
votes we're driven away from SWEET
ger by the circular and other appeals
to class interests outside of politics;
and l have no doubt at all that Sweit-
ger got thousands of Protestant votes
because of the belief among many

talked to Thompson but once,
he had family pride which is Away
and that if both sides of a propositt
would prefer the right side. He will
make mistakes, of course. All men
do. He may listen to bad advice,
without going deep into the question;
but l don't think he will throw the
people of Chicago designedly on any
question where the public interest is
involved.
Republican politicians, quite hui
manly, will try to make his victory a
party victory. That's part of the
game. But it isn't party victory in
the sense that the Republican party
in Chicago stands for anything differ
ent from what the Democratic party
stands for. Thompson got the big
vote because of the things people
thought Thompson himself stood for,
and also because of the things they
thought Sullivan, Hopkins and SWEET
ger stood for.
Normally, Chicago is Democratic
measured by the number of voters
who have the party habit; but there
were thousands of voters who think
they are Democrats who worked just
as hard for Thompson as their neigh
bors who think they are Republicans.
In fact, it came as near being a
nonpartisan election as we could well
have. The party issue was subor-
dinate to the religious and other is
sues which are nonpartisan.
My own opinion is that the issue
which Influenced more voters than
any other was the public school issue.
Unemployment, hard times, bust
ness depression and various effects of
the European war worked against
Sweitzer because he happened to be
a candidate of the party in power ma
tionally.

PEACH OaINTlES or MERIT
Many Ways of Preparing Fruit Which
All Appreciate for Its Per
feet Flavor.

For peach cobbler. prepare plain
pastry from three pints OF flour and
three-fourths Of pound of mixed lard
and butter Line the baking dish with
this and pour in two quarts OF freshly
stewed peaches, covering the dish with
a pastry lid, pierced here and there &c
let out steam Bake until brown and
then cover thickly with powdered
sugar and serve steamlng hot with rich
cream.
Here is another peach pie recipe:
Bake rich pastry crust until brown
and crisp and then COOL Just at serv'
ing time heap it high with sliced
peaches, sprinkle with sugar and pile
whipped cream on top. A variation
OF this recipe is this: Cut short pastry
into squares and fold the four corners
to the center. Moisten them with
milk, press them down so that they
will remain in place, prick the pastry
with a fork and bake one square for
each person. Brown in the oven. chill
and serve piled high with peaches cut
into large pieces. steWed just until
tender and sweetened to taste. Top
with big spoonful of whipped cream.
Still another peach pie, the favorite
OF very good cook. is this: Sift to-
gether a cupful and half of flour, a
quarter of a cupful of sugar. two tea
spOonfuls of baking powder and
pinch of salt. Into this cut half q cup
ful Of butter and add enough milk to
make a stiff batter. Use as little milk
as possible Roll into thick sheet,
line deep pie pan with it and slice
peaches into it. Sweeten them we'll
and cover them with sour or sweet
milk, then bake until done in mod
crate oven.
A empting dessert is peach whip.
To make it press ripe peaches through
a vegetable press, sweeten to taste
and mix Immediately with whipped
cream or whipped egg whites. Pile in
tall glasses and serve very cold.
Another tempting dessert is a peach
sandwich. one for each person. Slice
stale sponge cake and dip the slices
quickly in milk. Then brown in but
ter. Between each two slices pile
freshly sliced. sweetened peaches and
pile on whipped cream.

Lake of Wine Burns Blue,

A lake of wine. consisting Of 1,O00.-
600 gallons, formed a most spectacu-
lar sight when it burned blue against
the blackness Of the night, near Fres-
no, Cal. This lake was formed near
the burning building Of a winery, and
the light blue blending with the or
ange tinge Of the darting flames was
like huge fireworks celebration. The
lake of wine extended for about a
block and burned for over an hour.
The loss from the burning of the win
cry will amount up to a half million
dollars. 1t was the largest in the Fres-
no grape district, the warehouses
and fermenting rooms covering sew
eral acres. The cause of the fire is a

METHOD OF PICKLING ONIONS
Writer Makes Some Suggestions
Which Seem to Be Worthy of
Consideration.

Peeling the onions is a decidedly pain
full task, but it is made less so if they
are done in cold water. Some people
even put them in boiling water and
allow them to come to the boil before
reeling them. | prefer the former
plan. With small silver picking onions
to each quart of vinegar allow two
tablespoonfuls of black peppercorns,
two teaspoonfuls of allspice, two level
teaspoonfuls of salt. two bay leaves.
Remove the outer skin with silver
knife: if a steel one is used the onions
will turn black. If liked, peel them in
basin of cold water, for. besides
making the operation less painful, it
helps to whiten them by removing
some of the essential oil. Dry them
lightly in a cloth. Put the vinegar,
spices and bay leaves in a saucepan,
boil them until the vinegar is we'll
favored, and let it get cold. Put the
onions in jars or wide-necked bottle.
fill them up with the vinegar. adding
little spice to each bottle. Cork
down tightly. They will be ready for
use in about a month.-Boston Globe.

should be tightly closed beforehand

Various methods of trapping f1eas
have been tried at one time or an
other, but none of these appear to be
of as much practical value as the
methods already discussed. 1t Is
well to remember, however. that the
flea cannot jump upward very far-a
few inches being the usual limit-and
for this reason if the legs are pro-
tected a person is rarely bitten.
