It is not an attractive combina- tion of words, "left overs," when. applied to to-niorrow'a luncheon or dinner, but when used with judg- ment, one's most intimate friend would not recognize them.• In the first place impress .. upon your cook. the fact that the best chefs in the world -the French— never throw away even a teaspoon- ful of vegetables. Everything is saved and transformed into 'emcee delicious bifid -hit -not to -morrow; as the uninitiated Have a: prejudice against "1141 h" and other homely dishes. But if a day or two elapse between the roast and "M+arguer- ites"'the family never knows that the much lauded "French creation". is a,.cgnooction of Jane's made from a small piece of the mutton or 'a croquette or any bib of meat which was left over, a, few of the outside pieces of celery, son.aped and cut very fine, a couple of tablespoon fuls of tomato. •a cup of soup stock, and some cold mashed potatoes.

Tomato . Thubale.--Boil half a pound of macaroni twenty minutes strain it, and out into lengths which will fit a. plain round mold; line the mold with it, arranging the tap by bending the macaroni in aspiral form. Fill this mold with a mix- ture made of one pound of 'toma- toes, one pound of mushrooms and a quarter -pound of grated cheese, all pounded together with ` four ounces of butter and the yolk of an egg. season -with a little salt and red pepper, Put a paper round the mold and steam for on.e hour. Turn out and serve with a, thick gravy, or tomato sauce, round. This makes an excellent first 'course di:ah for luncheon. Household ' Hints. Corks may be made airtight ti watertight by keeping them and im- mersed in oil for five minutes. Pickles may be kept from becom- ing mouldy by laying a little bag of mustard on the top of the pickle - jar. Crackers covered with grated g ed. cheese and toasted in the oven are good served with . salad for lunch- eon. A little p vinegar placed aced in the riiis. ing water on washing day will pre- vent the hands from becoming rough and •chapped. To clean brass flower pots or trans, rub them with a piece of le- mon; 'then pour boiling water over there, and finally polish with a soft dry cloth.

QUARTER -ACRE OF GROUND IN ME/ICO CITY. The Graves: Contain Bodies of the Most Notorious Men in Mexico. The most famous and least invit- ing quarter acre of ground in Mex- ioo City is the Pantheon of ,San Fer- nando, near to the church of: the same name. It is a. quadrangular plot of ground onelosed 'by high walls and higher buildings. The monuments- and tombs are of very inferior design and of poor work- mansh,ip and are, • with oneor two exceptions, in bad taste. In this little cemetery, " the gravels of which are all mural, repose the bodies of some of the most illustrious or no- toriousmen. in Mexican ,;liietory, Historically the most notable of these men whose bodies are hare returning to dust, are Benito Juar- ez, Mejia and Mb -anion, shot to death with the Emperor Maximilian at Queretaro -June 19th, 1867. Here, also,, are the bodies of -Win- mate Guerrero, of General Zara- goza, who fought and won the Rat- tle of Guadalupe against the French troops -May 6th, 1867; of President Comonfort and of others just a lit- tle less famous—heroes or scoun- drels—by your political' preference. A. Famous President. Over the grave of, Benito Juarez in this exclusive burying place rises the most notable monument of Mexican ,art in the ' Republic of Mexico. It' is to -day in its marble purity as fresh and clean as when it was carried from the atelierof the Islas brothers, 'the designers and sculptors, and" rained on ita foundations in this Pantheon, The. effigy of the dead President stretch- ed at full length rests on a Carara bed, while the head of the recum- bent figure reposes on the knee of a beautiful but sorrowing 'female figure, symbolizing the grief of Mexico. Those who are qualified to express expert opinion, pro= aounoe this work of the Islas to be superb and to take rank among the best monumernrbs'of the Campo San- to of Pisa. The Spartan republic in thedays of its •glory paid no higher honors to Leonidas than 'has.Mexieo to the half -Indian Juarez. After him is named the Avenida. Juarez, His statue fills a commanding place on. the famous Paseo de la Reforms, the fashionable drive from Mexico City to Chapultepec, and even the paaeeo itself is associated in its ori- gin with his name, The Town of Juarez, opposite El Paso, Texas, is named after him. When, in 1861, Juarez was ,seated in the Presiden- tial chair, his first act was to pre- vail upon Congress to .pass a law suspending payment of the national debt. After vainly protesting against the injustice of the law, France. England and Spain sent their w.arelhipsto the Gulf of Mex- ico, and took possession of Vera Cruz, Alter fruitlegs negotiations, General ii m a:nd Admiral Wyke, representing Spain and England,.. returned to Europe, leaving France to arrange affairs. with Mexico. The French Troops em�ained in possession of Vera t Cruz, M. de Saligny, who repre• I' ,e:ntcd France, despairing el recur - ng' a sa;tisfaotory settlement with a uarez and his Oabinet, sailed for otaa. The French troops, strongly eiri,foroed, under the Command of . Mit,r�eh,al Fares. began their march • for Mexico City, wbieli they e:nter- d June 9, 18Ga, The `' Mexicans �ttubbornly contested Forey's ad- TI vance,. and at Puebla, • under Gen- eral. Zaragoza, inflicted a humiliat- ing defeat on the French 'forces. The Emperor Napolion now en- forced his will on Mexico, and; at the memorable 'assembly of nota- bias, held July 9, Maximilian, Arch- duke of Austria, was tendered the crown of , an hereditary monarchy in Mexico.. MVLaximilian accepted the invitation of the notables, and' accompanied by Ins wife, the un- fortunate . Carlotta, daughter of the notorious Leopold I. of Belgium, entered the City of Mexico; June 14, 1864, and, amid great. eclat and solemnity, were crowned Emperor and impress of Mexico in the ca- thedral,. the Metropolitan Church of Mexico. The deathblow to the Empire 'was delivered. from the United States, whaach " declined to recognize in Mexico any govern- ment which was not republican. The French troops were called homie in 1867, and. Maximilian was unwisely advised to remain and appeal for support to the Conservative party. Juarez, who at Paseo. del Norte on the Texan frontier had claimed and asserted his rights as Consti- tutional President of the Republic,. now moved with his armed support- ers.on Torreon. He defeated Maxi- milian's general, Miramon, at San Jacinto, and drove him into the for- tified City of Queretaro, where he wins joined, by the' Emperor. Por- firio Diaz now becomes a •conspicu- ous figure in. Mexican history, and begins to loom large on the horizon of the nation.. After a siege•of nearly a month he captured Puebla, and, moving'out, he defeated the imperial general, Marques, at San Lorenzo, and laid siege to the City of Mexico. Meanwhile the Repub- lican general, Escobedo, attacked axad captured the City of Quere- taro,. May lo, making prisoners of Maximilian and his staff. Maxi- nulian was tried by court martial, found guilty:' of an' assault on the rights and liberties of the' Mexican people, and 'with Generals Mijia and Miramon Condemned to Be Shot. The sentence was executed on the morning of June 19, 1867, on the hill of Cerro de las Campanas, two miles from the city The place of execution was, until a few years ago, marked by three stone pillars enclosed by an iron railing. A beautiful memorial chapel, built by the ducal house of Austria, now rises from the ground where the un- fortunate Maximilian sank to his death. In the Queretaro Museum 'of Antiquities are preserved many pathetic souvenirs of the Emperor, Among thein is an,oil painting of Maximilian, the roughly finished. coffin in which his body was brought frem the place of execution, the ta- ble on which his death sentence was signed by the member's of the court martial, the chair he occupied, and the wooden 'stools on which Mira - mon and Meijia sat during the trial, The United States Government. through its secretary of Stare asked that the life of - the Emperor be spared andbanishment be substi- toted, but the request was ignored.

But the, treaty embodied no method for its termination, and England ; always protested that it had made. sub-' stantial coneessio:p in carrying out' the treaty, so that the United States was bound in honor to 'ob-: serve it. "Thins 'it fell out that when the .American Government was ready to go• to work in earnest on the canal it had to induce England to agree' to a modification of the : Clayton,` Bulwer treaty. This modification' en was the Hay-Pauneefote treaty, pe -1 - • gotiated in 1901. The concession which England exacted for consent- ing to abandon • the older treaty was the paragraph for equality of treat merit an 'bolls to rho : ships of all na h tions.

Nicara- gua, and Clayton-Bulwer Treaty Followed. How it came about that Great Britain was in a position to protest successfully to President Wilson against the proposed exemption of American coastwise shipping from the Panama Canal tolls, ev though the United States has con strutted th;e • canal at enormous ex- pense, is thus told in :the Kansa City Star : Back in the forties the United States was engaged in viewing with alarm--to use - this words of the p ty platforms—the expansion of Bra tish . possessions in Central Ameri- ca. The British Government own- ed, and .still owns, a, strip of God- forsaken countiy just south • of Mexico on the Caribbean coast, known as British Honduras. In the decade immiedi,atelypreceding the' middle of the last century the British statesmen . started in to ac- quire additional territory under the familiar guise of establishing a� `protectorate' for the benefit, of a handy tribe of Indians. "Pursuing this laudable end, her Majesty's forces seized the Nicara- guan' town of San Juan del Norte, and re -named it Greytown. Now, Greytown was no ordinary baanana village. It was at the mouth of the San Juan River, and at :that time it, was universally supposed that the only possible route for an Isthmian canal was by way of this river to, Lake Nicaragua. If England oon- trolled . the mouth of the river it would control the short cwt across the isthmus. , • "Public opinion in the United States was aroused to a high .stage of indignation. To ease the situa- tion' the ' Taylor Administration ne- gotiated a treaty with'.. England to stop further expansion of English territory in the neighborhood of the site of the canal and to insure its freedom from British control when it should be constructed: John M. Clayton, .Secretary of State, con- ducted the negotiations for the United States, and Sir Henry Bul- wer, British Minister, for Great Britain. Terms of the Treaty. It must be borne in mind that the United States art that time did not dream, of undertaking the work of. constructing the •canal, and its sole purpose was to induce Great Bri- tain to surrender the advantage of canal control which its seizure of territory would otherwise give it. Accordingly the treaty pledged each power `hot to assume dominion over any part of Central:" America,.' not to:.obtaim exclusive oontro1 over. any canal`, whereverconstructed, And not to erect fortifications over- looking the canal . 'Besides, the two ower• agreed- to uarantee Pg the neutrality of the canal end to allow their,. war vessels to pass through it without molestation in the event of Wal'The . tree ty °tre •�vb, o y was ratified. in 1850.
