Xero and Trojan and a fewr of those Caesar persons are enougli for his his torical BOUl. The Ferreros will spend a few days here as guests of George H. Putnam. Then they will go to Boston, where Fer rero will deliver a few lectures before he proceeds to Washington. Out of the cap ital he will go on a tour of lectures In many colleges and other institutions. Nevertheless, he said he intended to spend much of his time in this city to gain knowledge of the status of atfairs in thui country, as he looks on New York as the economical center of the country. Ferrero is known chiefly through his re searches into Roman history, in regard to which he said: The history of Rome, as it has been presented to us for years, has been full of exaggerations. The romance of An tonv and Cleopatra, as presented to us, has probably been far from the truth. There was much-more of political signifi cance In their friendship than there was of love. Nor was Cleopatra the woman of beauty that has been presented to us by historians for hundreds of years. Ro man history, as It has been handed down to us. Is crowded with legend, in which lies, however, much that is truth, and at this late date It is no easy task for the historian to separate the truth from the legend. "What I have tried especially to do has been to find new conceptions fpr the in scriptions, mementoes and other works which were worked over for centuries, but too often not in proper manner. It is the duty of the present-day historian to look up the events of Roman history from a different point of view than has been previously taVen. The,re has been too much of a tendency through ages past to represent the Roman who has succeeded as having been possessed too greatly of the qualities that work for success: there has been too much tenden cy to represent the one who has failed in the- worst light possible, piling on bad qualities one after another, though per haps by slow degrees, until finally the character is presented as much lower than really obtained." Ferreros wife has done much literary work and has followed in the footsteps of her father in studying criminology. But she said positively she does not intend hereito go deeply into further study of the badnesses of mankind. New York Press.

S., (University Park), writes: "I would like a recipe for making a candy I have seen many times, but know not bow to make. All I know Is that there was sugar and some butter in It. It Is a clear, crisp candy, dark In color. It is not pulled, and does not become sticky. It is very nice to make at home (or children. If you can furnish the recipe through the columns of The Oregonlan, I shall be greatly obliged to you." From the description I think real old fashioned English "toffee" or "butter scotch" must be meant; so I offer here a few recines for these sweetmeats, in the hope that among them may be the. particular kind desired, xney are an easily made and wholesome. In Eng land there is a belief, highly popular with young people, that Everton toffee, or butterscotch, flavored with ginger is "a good thing for a cold." The making of it Is certainly a welcome diversion when one has to stay sniffing and coughing Indoors and familiar toys and books, have lost their charm. Moreover, I have often known home-made butter scotch to be prescribed for ill-nourished children. In such cases It was to be given by way of dessert at the conclusion of a meal, not as an appe tite destroyer between whiles. . Toffee No. 1 Four cups sugar, three tablespoonfuls of golden syrup; one and a quarter cups water, two table spoons butter. Boll 20 minutes before adding the butter; then continue boil ing until the mixture hardens when dropped in cold water. Add a teaspoon ful of lemon essence (if liked) Just be fore pouring into a buttered tin to cool. Mark in squares when nearly cold. Toffee No. 2. Three cups brown sugar, one-fourth cup butter, one-half teaspoonful cream of tartar, one-half cup cold water. Essence of vanilla. Boil all (except the flavoring) without stirring, until the mixture crisps in cold water. Finish as above. Toffee No. 3. Three cups brown sugar, one-half cup cold water, one fourth cup fresh butter.- Boil two min utes before adding the butter. Then cook until brittle. Toffee No. 4. Two cups white sugar, one cup molasses, one-fourth cup but ter, two tablespoons vinegar. Boil 20 minutes or until crisp. Everton Toffee. One pound white sugar, one cup water, one-fourth cup butter. Cook as above. Russian Toffee Four cup3 brown sugar, one-quarter cup salt butter, one small tin condensed milk, one cup sweet milk, one tablespoon golden syrup, one tablespoon vanilla essence. Prepare as described for "Toffee No. 2." Variations, such as almond, cocoa nut, peanut or fig toffee can be made by adding suitable quantities of nuts, etc.. to the toffee when ready to pour. I or by placing these ingredients in the buttered tins ana pouring tne totree over them. The testing in cold water Is, of course, the most ' interesting and im portant part of the business. Sugar thermometers will enable you to boll the toffee to exactly the right point (between 310 degrees and 345 degrees, 1 think it is), but they are soulless things that spoil all the fun. If the toffee Is not destined for im mediate consumption, the squares should be wrapped In tinfoil or para fine paper. "A Reader" (Salem) writes: "In a re cent number of The Oregonlan you mentioned a favorite chutney, but as some of the ingredients were out of season, you did not give the propor tions. If it is possible for you to give the recipe in the near future will you kindly do so? I might not be where I would Bee it published another year, and I very much want It. I have al ready made use of many of your deli cious recipes and do not want to miss this chutney." I am very glad indeed if any of my 'recipes have been of use to this corre spondent; but In regard to this particu lar one I am in something of a quandary. You see it is one of these traditional family affairs, where "about as much as you think" and "taste this and see whether It is as good as last year's" often take the place of exact measurements; and. though I usually make It. I have to confess that I have never systematized or copied out the recipe. It is. of course, a shocking thing for a "domestic science" woman to say. but my method has been to administer spoonfuls" of the cooking product to any long-suffering friends or members of my family within reach. "I think it needs more cayenne," says one. "A little more acid and onion would suit me," says another. ""Your mother "used to make It a trifle sweet er." says a third, and so exact propor tions vary from time to time: but al ways it is well liked in the end. I generally begin with about these pro portions: Two. pounds stoned Kentish cherries, 2 pounds apples (pared, cored and sliced). 3 pounds peaches (pared, stoned and sliced.) About 6 of the peach kernels are added; l'-j pounds raisins (seeded and USEFUL APPLIANCES IN THE SURGICAL DEPARTMENT VIBRATORS FOR HOME AND PROFESSIONAL USE We have a full and complete line of the best Vibra tors made, whether desired for home use or pro fessional uses.

Usually I boil the spices in a bag but I have sometimes used the powdered spices In place of the whole kind. We have never yet been able to agree as to whether we prefer to have the celery seed boiled In the bag also, or left loose through the mixture. The prepared ma terials are put all together in a pre serving kettle and boiled like J-.m. Put up in Mason jars. I should advise the making of a smaller quantity first, and then If necessary, you can modify the cayenne, spices, etc., to suit your indi vidual taste. Any Woman to her lover.

GOES TO ROCKPILE IN ORDER TO KEEP FRIEND FROM ARREST James Remington Will Serve Four Months Bather Than Tell Who Took Cheap Watch as Drunken Prank. . T""V n man nt f ' 1 1 1 1 JAMES rtE-ivtii-NvjAv-i.-, l ily, who came here lately from Co lumbia County, has begun to serve four months at the Kelly Butte rockpile rather than give the name of a friend who had given him a small silver watch. The watch, it developed, was stolen prop erty. "Unless we have the name of the man who gave you that watch you will have to answer to the charge of stealing it," the detectives told Remington. 'Til have to answer for the charge, then," he said. "The man who gave me the watch has a large family, and I know he's not a thief or in any way dishonest. I have only my wife to look after and we have enough money saved to tide her over if I really have to go to jail." Remington was taken before the Mu nicipal Court " on a charge of larceny. He still refused to give the name of the man who handed him the watch. He ex plained mat he and this man were drink ing together, that his friend was suscept ible to liquor in small quantities, and hc- came drunk, taking the watch from a room next to the one in which they had retired for the night. Getting the watch away from the man, Remington was car rying it downstairs openly to turn It over to the night clerk, when an employe of the place saw him and took him to tho Police Station. As he said nothing about the other man in the room, the real culprit had time to sober up and go on home. "It was a drunken prank of his, and if someone has got to do time I'll do it. But I'll never tell who that man was. He's a friend of mine, and I'll take the medicine for him," Remington said. Acting Municipal Judge Seabrook promptly sentenced him to serve a term of four months on the rockpile. Tho view was taken that his story of an other's guilt could not be accepted with out the name of the alleged culprit being given. Remington's story was quite .gen erally believed In the courtroom.
