THESE SALT MINES FAMOUS
Many In Galicia That Have Been
Worked for as Long a Time as
Seven Centuries.

Many of the worlds most famous
salt mines are in operation in Galicia.
Those at Wieliczka have been worked
for nearly centuries, at one time
being a principal source of revenue
for the Polish kings. Railroads are
not permitted to run near them lest
their vibrations result in cave-ins.
Within these mines are a labyrinth of
salt-hewn streets and alleys, lined
with pillared churches, s~taircases, res
taurants, shrineg, and monuments,
Nearly two thousand workmen are en-
ployed in the salt mines, working in
eight-hour shifts. The damp, salty
atmosphere seems to shorten their
days; but even at that they do not ap-
pear unhappy, in spite of the small
wage of twenty cents a day they are
paid. There are little lakes in the
mines, sometimes thirty feet deep,
which are navigated by ~ferryboats.
Many of the little ponies which draw
the car over the tiny salt railway
have not seen the light of day for gen.
e%rations, and are born blind.

front and the cuffs. The latter are
made to turn back.
The new waists are cool and very
easy to launder. They are washed in
warm suds and ironed when partially
dry. 1t is the simplest of processes.
Altogether the new waists have every
thing to recommend them.

The pretty gown shown in the pic
ture is developed in a net-top lace with
heavy pattern of embroidered flowers
and scalloped edges. 1t would look
just as well made of shadow lace,

any other of those semitransparent
fabrics for which women show an in

printed mulls and the new voiles of
fancy weave are at the disposal Of the
acopyist who fancies this model.
Since it is the airiness and coloring
of the fabric more than anything else
that counts in a gown of this char
acter 1t may be made to cost much OF
little. For nets, laces and voiles an
underslip of silk is needed, and a slip
of this kind looks best under any of
the transparent materials. But if one

front with a silk cord.

LASTING Window Polish.

There is an art in washing windows.
and II they are properly polished the
operation need not be repeated for a
long time. A really good polish will
survive several transforms and will
only require the dust to be removed
occasionally with a dry cloth. The
inside of the windows should be
washed with tepid water. without soap
or powder of any kind, rubbed dry
with chamois and polished with cheese
cloth. A solution for cleaning the out
side should be made from n ounce
of pulverized whiting, one ounce of
grain alcohol, one ounce of liquid am
monia and a pint of water. Spray the
window with clear water to emove
surface dirt, and apply the solution
with a soft cloth. Let this dry on.
Afterward polish with cheesecloth or
tissue paper. II the glass has been
badly scratched. a filling may be ap-
piled. This consists of an ounce Of
white wax dissolved in turpentine. It
should be applied before the polishing.

cellent as snap beans" The tender
cowpea pods can be cooked like string
beans, the underripe peas shelled and
cooked like green peas or green
beans, while the dry peas may be used
in various ways for making soups,
croquettes, fritters, and other dishes.
Food Value Of the Peanut.
The peanut, which is q bean or pea
LIKE seed but not a nut, is generally
eaten as a sort of CONNECTION all over
the United States. Its true food val
ne, however, is not properly appreci-
ated. Peanuts when made into pea
nut butter are available for use in
sandwiches, salad dressings, and soup.
They contain a large amount of both
protein heterogeneous materially and
fat and are nutritious. Peanut butter
OF superior quality may be made cas-
lily as 1t is wanted and at little cost,
The manner of making it is simple:
The roasted nuts need only to be
shelled and put through a meat chop
per which will grind them very fine.
Grains Sometimes Served as Vege-
tables.
The seeds of our common cereals,
although generally not classed as veg
etables, are very often used as such,
as, for instance, boiled rice, macaroni,
hominy, fried mush, and oatmeal frit-
tiers.
cereals do not possess very distinc-
i've h~avors, so it is a common prac-
tice when using them in this way, to
season the dishes highly with cheese,
with tomato, green pepper, onion, etc.,
or else to cook the dishes in ways
which will give flavor, as, for in
stance, by browning in fat. Rice
cooked with tomatoes, macaroni with
cheese, and noodles seasoned with
fried onions, are familiar examples of
~well-seasoned cereal dishes made
tasty by the use of seasoning, while
rice c~roquettes, mock oysters (made
OF oatmeaD, fried mush, and farina
fritters are examples of food made
savory by browning in a pan in deep
fat.
Corn serves in more forms as a
vegetable food than perhaps any 9TH
er grain The Mexican uses the corn
musk to wrap the combination of corn,
meat. and seasoning known as ia
males. Like cracked corn or hominy,
the hulled corn or I've hominy is used
not only as a breakfast cereal but also
as a vegetable.
But the sweet or green corn is most
used as a vegetable and is one of
hose most highly esteemed in Amer.
lea The ears are roasted or boiled
n served on the cobs; or the raw or
boiled corn is cut from the cob and
steWed or fried or may be cooked in
many ways in combination with beans,
tomatoes, potatoes, fritters, etc., or
served in soups or salads In corn pud-
dlngs or in many other ways. Corn
from the cob is sometimes used
In making pickles or relishes. The
very young cobs are also picked
whole.

The women of America, at least, are
faithfully devoted to the sensible and
smart shirt waist. Manufacturers of
these essentials of the wardrobe have
entered the field with models very
close to the original design and
have found them more heartily
appreciated than ever. These waists
are cut with a masculine sever
ity of line, of the softest and most
supple silks, and finished with hem
stitching and needlework, decorative
buttons and other items of daintiness
in detail that proclaim them as utter
ly feminine.
Wash silks and crepe de chine are
the favorite materials for shirt waists.
They are cut with high or convertible
collars, which must be provided with
supporting wires if they are to stand
up. Sleeves are long and finished
with cuffs.
The three waists pictured here may
be accepted as correct in style with
out any misgivings. The first one is
of crepe de chine with hemstitched
seams. The fronts are fulled on to

White men and colored men alike
are being fed daily at the dinners
which the Ebenezer Baptist church in
Chicago, one Of the largest churches
with a congregation of colored people
in the city, is providing for those whom
winter and war depression in bust
ness have thrown out of work. In fact,
the whites outnumber the blacks by
four to m at the hour of the free
meal served five days a week by the
women of the church, according to
those in charge. The dinners, which
are substantial and we'll cooked, cost
the church about 500 a day to feed
about $50 men. This is a service which
the church tries to give for one month
out of every year, says the pastor,
Rev. John F. Thomas. Last year 1852
white men and 1902 colored men,, in
all, were fed. One of the white
churches of the city which carries on
a similar work bars colored men from

Resenting the criticism against COL
pred people made by Professor Will
liam Starr Myers of Princeton univer-
sity, in a lecture at the Academy of
Music on February 81, several leaders
OF that race met at Washington and
formed a committee to conduct a cam
paign against defamers of their race
there. The campaign will be carried
on by ministers, lawyers, physicians
and business men, as well as by all
the associations of colored people in
Brooklyn.
The statement which aroused the
Indignation of the colored people was
that in which Professor Myers said:
"A Young Mems Christian association
leader of the South said he estimated
that IS per cent Of Negro men in some
localities of the South are immoral,
and that the percentage of the immor-
ality of the Negro women was as
great He is also reported to have
said that the ballot and whisky are
the two great curses of the race. The
Negro race is not merely an inferior
race; it is a backward race. Even the
educated Negro is nothing but a
grown-up child"
As a consequence of this, the col
ored people are determined to dis
prove what Professor Myers said. The
Citizens club and the Carleton
branch of the Y. NJ. c. A, as we'll As
other organizations of colored peo-
pie, will act together in this matter.
The first move will be to hold a
mass meeting at the Academy of Mu-
sic, at which prominent colored people
will speak. The people in charge will
also try to obtain as speakers one or
two white men of influence to uphold
their side of the case.
The program committee in charge
of the arrangements for the meeting
is headed by Rev. DR.. A. P. Coles. R.
NJ. Merony, superintendent of the Carl
ton branch, Y. NJ. c. A., is secretary.
Before going actively into direct oppo-
sition to Professor Myers, Secretary
Merony was instructed to write to
Professor Myers and have him confirm
the statements he made, as reported
in the newspapers the day after he lee
tured. Among those who were pres
ent at the meeting we're Rev. w. NJ.
Moss, G. F. Miller, w. H. Jones, w. A.
Lee and George E. Wibecan, president
of the Citizens club.
Rev. DR.. S. Parkes Cadman of the
Central Congregational church and
Park Commissioner Raymond v. In
gersoll have already signiied their in
tention to address the mass meeting
for the colored people, if possible.
