as the mob would be likely to snake
no distinction between Jews and

a Jew, they put forward a promin-

Stuffed Cucumoer Salad.—Peel
cucumbers and cut in two, length-
wise, scrape from each half all the
seeds and fill with this mixture.
Take one small tender leaf of new
cabbage, two or three find lettuce
leaves, half a dozen pitted olives,

ped meat, to which add a table-
spoonful of onion juice, one tea-
spoonful of salt, and a salt -spoon-

SEASONABLE DISHES.
Pineapple Layer Cake.—Use any
good recipe fur layer cake and bake
in three large tins. Put between
each layer the grated pineapple and
ice with plain icing, flavored '.itn
n little lemon juice. Tho pineapple
by itself makes a rich, moist fiil-
ling and should not bo allowed to
stand more than a few hours before
serving. If the cake is to be kept
longer some of the plain frosting
should be stirred into the pineap-
ple before the cake is put together.
String Beans and Cheese --String
one quart of green beans. Cut in
small pieces and boil in salt water
till done. Drain and then put them
iu a saucepan with one large cup
of grated parmesan cheese (other
cheese will do), tablespoonful but-
ter, small cup of niilk, rather largo
dash of cayenne pepper, and cook
five minutes, etirrri:g constantly.

good cooked this way.
Sweet Potatoes.- Cut cold boiled
sweet potatoes lengthwise. Put
a layer pointed part un the rim
of a stone soup plate. Sprinkle
granulated sugar and cinnamon on
the potatoes and dot with small
pieces of butter Do this to each
layer. In the middle put a trashed
sweet potato and cross it each way
to look like the centre of a sun-
flower. Put sugar, cinnamon, anti
butter on top. Bake in oven until
brown. Serve in same dish.
Scalloped Potatoes.—I'arbnil a
quart of sliced potatoes. l'ut a
layer of these potatf es in a bak-
ing dish, sprinkle with salt, pep-
per, grated cream cheese, and chop•
ped pinrentoes. Add a few small
pieces of butter. Continue this
process until the potatoes are used
up. fear over all about a cupful
of milk. Bake in the oven until
brown.
Rich Fruit Sandwiches. — Grind
in the food chopper one cupful of
raisins, ono cupful of figs, one cup-
ful of dates, and one cupful of
pecans or English walnuts. Grind

through a second time after nix-
ing all well together. The result
is a rich fruit and nut paste which
will keep for a long time in a cool
place and uiay be used for sweet
sandwiches either on white or
whole wheat bread. Children will
prefer these sandwiches to cake.
Almond acd Preserved Ginger. --
Mix three tablespoonfuls of finely
chopped blanched almonds, two
tablespoonfuls of finely chopped
preserved ginger, and one and one-
half tablespoonfuls of orange juice.
Spread on unsalted wafters or on

[csur tablespoonfuls of pecan ker-
nels moderately find and cut six-
teen marshmallows in pieces with

drops of moat sauce if liked, cay-
enne and salt and forte into a
smooth paste by adding either may-
onnaise or b•„led salad dressing.
Spread un rather thick slices of
white broad and serve without a
top piece.
!)ate and Nut Sandwiches -- Chop

add half a cupful of rich cream•
Mix smoothly and add ono -half cup-
ful of chopped English walnut
meats. Keep in a cool place until
needed. then spread on thin slices
of whole wheat or white bread.

spread a little butter, then a layer
of Neufchatel cheese, then a layer

another buttered round of brown
bread.

The duke would immediately get
his fire engine under way and dash
off to the scene of the conflagration,
invariably stopping at Marlbor-
ough House to pick up his future
king, and, on reaching the fire and
reporting to Captain Shaw, prince
and duke were placed in a posi-
tion to render valuable service. In
the years dating from 1804 to 1876,
when the prince went out to India,
he must have attended not merely
scores, but even hundreds of fires
in London, with the late Duke of
Sutherland as part and parcel of
the crew of the ducal fire engine,
and acquired in this way a good
deal of experience, besides win-
ding a considerable amount of po-
pularity.

as a somewhat stately monarch of

that in his younger days he was

fire fighter, who has several rescues
to his credit, and who was quite an
adept in sprinting up and down fire

of the King, in his address to the

IMPROVED POULTII'E.
In place of using hot water use
but water in which boric acid has
been dissolved. The best plan is to
take rather more than the quan-
tity of water you know will be re-
quired and to dii.solve in this as
much boric acid as it would take
up. Then mix just as you would if
using simple water. The easiest
way of dissolving boric acid is to
put it into a dry vessel and pour
e n it about a teaspoonful of water,
working the peed'sr into a soft mass
while slowly adding more water.
Poultices so made help to keep the
