Cream Pie and Orange Dessert.
Cut the oranges in thin slices and
sprinkle sugar over them; let them
‘stand two or three hours; serve on
ordinary fruit plates; the pie is made
with a bottom crust only, and that
not thick, but light and flaky; take
one coffee cupful of thick, sweet
cream, one-half cup of pulverized
sugar, a tablespoonful of flour, one
egg; flavor with lemon extract; bake
until you are sure the crust is brown
and hard, so that it will not absorb
the custard.—Ann M. Fuller, in the
Boston Post.
Creamed Sweetbreads.
Cook until tender, then flake or cut
in dice. Put a little butter in a fry-
ing pan and toss the diced sweet-
breads in it until slightly fried. Have
ready a cream sauce, allowing for a
pair of sweetbreads two tablespoon-
fuls butter, two tablespoonfuls flour
and two small cupfuls cream. Add
‘the sweetbreads, season with salt and
pepper and a teaspoonful minced
parsley, if you like; then pour over
slices of hot toast freed from crusts
and serve very het.—New York Tele-

Ganseklein or Schwarz Sauer.
This is an economical dish beloved
of the Germans. It is made with the
feet, wings, gizzards, hearts, necks
and blood of several geese. Scalds
{the feet in boiling water and remove
ithe skin. It will peel off like a glove
finger. Cut wings into two and necks
into three pieces. Wash all in cold
water, then place over the fire with
just enough water to cover. For
every quart of water used, allow two
onions with three cloves stuck in
each, half a tablespoonful of salt,
one bay leaf, twelve peppers, and a
sprig of thyme, tied with three sprigs
parsley. Cook until tender. Now

gether in a small stewpan one tea-

utes, then add blood and just enough
vinegar to give a sour taste. Add a
ltablespoonful sugar and a quarter
teaspoonful pepper, cook two min-
utes and strain. Skim out the goose
pieces, add to sauce and serve with
bread, farina or potato dumplings.—

A Plea For Conservation.
(FROM AN EDITORIAL IN THE
CENTURY.)
The cause (of forest conservation),
with its colossal problems, must not
be allowed to become a football of
factional or personal ambitions; it
needs all the friends it can win, of
all shades of party or partisanship,
particularly in Congress, to which
now falls the great responsibility -of
enacting into law the unmistakable
demands of public sentiment.
Much of this work is urgent. Legal
safeguards should be established to
prevent such wrongs as the endeavor
to take up coal lands worth $2,000,-
000,000 by one person, by means of
proxies; the tse of water power
should be so defined and regulated
as to preserve the rights of the peo-
ple without impairing the normal de-
velopment of the West; the reclama-
tion service, which is making the des-
ert blossom as the rose, should be
carefully fostered and protected
against political and private greed;
the whole system of river and harbor
development should be placed on a
business instead of a political basis;
and, last, but not least, let us repeat
it, the President, Congress and the
governors and legislatures of the
States should address themselves at
once to the need, so often set forth
in these columns, of a co-operative
plan to save from destruction the for-
ests of the upper reaches of the whole
Appalachian range.
Moses a Great Reporter.
Addressing the Ministers’ Alliance
of Kansas on “The Faith of a Jour-
nalist,” Walter Williams, dean of the
School of Journalism at Missouri Uni-
versity, spoke of the similarity of the
Bible to the modern newspaper.
“The best journalist with whose
work I am acquainted,” said Mr. Wil-
liams, ‘“‘was Moses. He was the first
great editor. You plead for the pub-
lication of only the good and the
beautiful in your favorite daily news-
paper. It was an earlier people, not
a wiser one, who cried: ‘Prophesy un-
to us smooth things.’
“In on8 of the five books Moses
edited the great editor gave more
criminal news, and that more graphic-
ally, than to-day’s newspapers would
dare. For example, the reports of the
disobedience of Adam, the drunken-
ness of Noah, the falsehoods of Abra-
ham and the iniquity of the city of
Sodom.”’—Baltimore Sun.
Yew Trees.
The Germans have started a move-
ment, which has Government support,
for preserving a small forest of yew
trees situated among the Bayarian |
highlands, near Munich. Anciently,
when the wood was valued for bows,
the yew, of which Caesar says there
was . ‘‘great abundance in Gaul,”
seems also to have been widely dis-
tributed throughout Germany. It is
now nearly extinct. The little Bavar-
ian forest, which has been badly dam-
aged by peasants, who covet the fol-
iage for decorative purposes, covers
about 350 acres, and the ages of the
trees vary from thirty to three hun-
dred years. These are, of course,
mere giddy, irresponsible youths com-
pared with many patriarchal yew
trees in our English churchyards, one
of which inspired a magnificent pas-
sage of ‘In Memoriam.”’—Westmin-
ster Gazette. : :
A Husband’s Pledge.
A wealthy middle-aged divorcee
who married a good-looking and com-
panionable young fellow, penniless
himself, is said to have exacted from
him, as part of the marriage contract,
the pledge that he would spend every
evening of his life with her. They
were inveterate theatregoers until
his death, which seems to corrobor-
ate the curious story. Many women
would like to have the same power
of keeping their husbands at home.—

terials include marquisettes and
voiles, silks and wools quite as well
as the flouncing, while the skirt need
not be confined to such, for its
straight edges can be trimmed in any
way to suit the fancy. Added to its
other advantages the skirt is exceed-
ingly simple and very easily made, in-
volving little time and little labor.
The gored foundation means perfect
smoothness over the hips as well as
simplicity of adjustment.
The skirt consists of the upper por-
tion and the two flounces. ( The up-
per portion is made in seven gores
and the flounces are straight and
gathered. The lower one is joined to
the foundation, the upper is arranged
over it.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is five and three-
quarter yards of flouncing twenty-five
inches wide, with one and three-quar-
ter yards of plain material twenty-
seven for the upper portions; or
eight and a half yards twenty-four or
twenty-seven, six and a half yards
thirty-two or five yards forty-four
inches wide if plain material is used

off a few more games for that very
reason. We hope they’ll go on think-
