into a study of modern criminology.

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

BY' LILIAN TINGLB.
MRS. J. B. 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

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.
