Even tually it will become the law of na , tions, if maritime war is still to con tinue. The careers of the Emden and the Karlsruhe and Koningsberg show the futility of efforts to destroy pri vate property at sea. Certainly, they prove how little effect on the final outcome of a titanic struggle such raiding can have. New York Post of I Who Is She?

But when her plans were finished, With all her might and main, She shirked her Christmas shopping And found it tilled with pain. I "Fiddler's Green."

There are, generally speaking, only two kinds of cake made by the Ameri can housewife; namely, sponge cakes and butter cakes. The former never have butter In them and are frequent ly raised entirely by means of eggs. The eggs usually provide the only moisture used, hut when eggs are ex pensive, economy sometimes demands that water be added and baking pow der used. In the latter kind, butter Is generally used on account of Us flavor. Its effect on dough is to make It tender and brittle Instead of tough and elastic. Sponge cakes are mixed differently from butter cakes and should be baked In a cooler oven and about bne and one-fourth times as long, 'rhe tests and rules for baking are Hie same for sponge cakes and butter cakes. Gingerbread and other highly spiced cakes may be classed as but ter cakes," hut for economy's sake pure rendered beef or veal fat may e substituted for butter as the flavor the fat will not be so evident as In other kinds of cake. A cooky also comes under the lass of "butter cakes," any butter- ake recipe being applicable to cookies only one-third to one-half the amount of milk called for Is used. rhe dough should be rolled out on a Houred board. Cookies should bake n a slow oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Much variety can be made In cakeB by introducing fruits, nuts, spices ot different flavoring extracts into the lough, or by using only the whites of ggs for white cakes, or a larger num- jer of yolks than whites for yellow :akes. Brown sugar may be used for lark fruit cake. Pastry flour will make lighter and nore tender cake than standard flour. f standard flour Is used take two ablespoonfuls less for each cupful measured. In making cake only tine ranulated or powdered sugar Bhould be used as a rule. One the best ol hese materials in any case should be employed. In preparing the pans for cake they should be greased well with butter oi lard or lined with paraffin paper. Bright, new pans will not need to be buttered for Bponge cakes and If left unbuttered a more delicate crust Is formed. If a wood or coal fire is used there should be a small or moderate-sized Are, but one that will last without much addition through the baking. Regulate the oven long enough be fore the cake is to go in to have the dampers adjusted as they are to re main throughout the baking. If this is not done the dampers must be changed to regulate the heat during the baking, and the cake will not be so well baked. Most cakes can be at once removed from the pan when baked, but very rich cakes and dark fruit cake will be liable to break un less allowed to stand about five mln- ites.

Saved From Any Kind of Meat They Arc Valued by the Economical " Housewife. Have you ever noticed how enticing tweet potatoes are when served with Maryland pork and beans? Somehow the pork greases make them seem more like a dessert than a plain vegetable. Neither cream, lard, butter, nor beet can take the place of pork fat for sweet potatoes. Pork fat also gives a tang to beets, parsnips and carrots which cannot be duplicated in any other way. The waste fat from beef makes a better cake, a better pie crust and better candles than the highest priced butter. Cookies, puddings and cakes have a Bavorlness so enticing when made of beet drippings that not even the most delinquent appetite can eay them nay. The fats, oils and greases from lamb or veal all lend themselves to the economical housewife as a great Improvement over costly butters and cheap lards for frying, broiling and preparing food In all sorts of other ways. One part of these fats will give a happiei flavor to fish, beans, -carrots and peas than ten times as much butter. Indeed, a spoonful of it will do the work of a whole pound of butter. Then there are the "grube," so called by the Jewish cooks who re move the fat and grease from geese and fry It with the goose flesh into crisp, brittle fiat cakes. The grease from the geese and other fowl is wide ly used in Jewish homes. Some stu dents think its use has much to do with the relative absence of wasting distempers among the people of this ancient nation.

When it is necessary to boil a cracked egg add a little vinegar to the water. This will prevent the white from boiling out. If you have difficulty In cleaning the candle grease from metal candle sticks try setting the candlesticks In a hot oven for a few minutes. This will melt the grease. Of course, care must be taken not to leave them In too long or the candlesticks will melt as well as the grease. If you wet a spoon before using it to serve Jelly you will find the Jelly will not stick to it and the serving Is more easily accomplished. To clean fly specks from varnished wood, wipe with a soft cloth dipped In equal parts of skim milk and watef. To pick up little pieces of broken glass, wet a woolen cloth; lay It on the floor where the fragments are and pat it. The little particles will ad here to the damp cloth. The skin of new potatoes Is more easily removed by rubbing with a stiff little brush than by scraping with knife. If curtain rods or poles are rubbed with hard soap before being put up, the curtains will slip on them easily. Nutmeat Bisque. One pint scalded milk, one and quarter cupfuls sugar, one egg, one scant tablespoonful flour, one-quartei teaspoonful salt, one quart thin cream, one tablespoonful vanilla, one tea- spoonful almond extract, one-half cup ful of macaroons, almonds and pea nuts. Mix the sugar, flour and salt, add the egg (slightly beaten) and the scalded milk;, cook In a double bollei 20 minutes, stirring constantly at first; cool, add the cream, vanilla and al mond extract; strain and color with leaf green; add the macaroons broken In small pieces, add nuts chopped fine and freeze. Dresden Oysters. Chop two dozen large oysters with a tablespoonful of melted butter, an un beaten egg, one-third the bulk ot bread crumbs, a tablespoonful of parsley, and a little onion Juice If liked. Season with salt and paprika, form Into balls, and bake ten or fifteen minutes in a hot oven, until the outside is well browned. Serve on half oyster shells with a parsley garnish. Homemade Wall Paper Cleaner. The following mixture is more easllj applied, and does the work more effeo tively than any of the baked prepara tlons that are sold at a good price toi a small quantity one generally paying the sum for the label and tin, to boj it up for sale. Take one part sal am moniac, four parts rye flour, and watei -enough to form a dough, then use on the soiled parts as If the mixture was a sponge. As the dirt is transferred from the wall to the cleaner, turn the isoil in, and work out a clean part ol the mixture. A little practice will soot show how easily this is accomplished without waste to the mixture. Nevei continue rubbing the soiled surface ol '.he cleaner Into the wall. First Love Kisses. Beat together the whites of two eggs. Add to these a teacupful ol sugar and stir until it is eo thick it will not slip from the spoon. Stir in three tablespoonfuls of grated cocoa nut. Drop teaspoonfuls of the mix ture on buttered paper and bake In a hot oven until light brown. For Those Who Wear Glasses.

A vegetable soup Is one of the best canned helps to the housekeeper. Cut Into small pieces some tomatoes, onions, parsley, carrots, sweet pep pers, okra, etc. Stew together until thorougly done. To each pint Jar add lhalf a teaspoonful of salt. Flavor with celery. These soup vegetables are so tJellcloUB that Just the addition of polling water makes a very palatabl soup. Two large teaspoonfuls of beef extract to a quart of boiling water and a jar of the canned vegetables make i delicious soup. Polnsettla Salad. Scald and peel small round toma toes. With a sharp knife cut each one through from the top down to the bot tom, making the tomato to look like polnsettla blossom. Take yolk of hard boiled egg and add to firm mayonnaise. Fill center with this mixture and sprinkle top with more egg yolk. Use shaving of cucumber rind to represent leaf or stalk. A few powdered pi tachio nuts can also be sprinkled on the center of the tomato. ' Baking Cake In Gas Stove.

The lofty rooms are flooded with light even on a dull day, and they form an admirable setting for the valuable exhibits that have been assembled and arranged under the careful supervi sion of Guy Laking, the director, and his colleagues. There are three great features of the new museum the collection of early seventeenth century jewelry (burled, perhaps, at the time ot the great fire or the plague, and found under a Lon don house at the time of Its demoli tion two years ago), the greatest col lection ot Cfomwelllan relics ever as sembled, and the equally important collection of costumes, chiefly of the Georgian period, which fill two of the state rooms on the first floor. Gold and Sliver Room. One of the principal attractions is the gold and silver room. It contains a unique survival of the early part ot the seventeenth century in the Bhape of a collection ot jewelry discovered in the city. This treasure was found buried In a box and was part of a jew eler's stock. There are many dupli cates and some ot the articles are in an. unfinished condition. , Altogether 340 pieces were discov ered, Including rings, pendants, chains, scent bottles, pomanders, and watches, and part of a communion set In crys tal and gold. The delicacy and ele gance of the designs and workman ship are remarkable and In one or two instances it is curious to recognize the resemblance of the ornaments fashioned in Jacobean times to the art nouveau of the day. One of the most Interesting of the rescued relics is a cameo portrait of Queen Elizabeth, evidently carved by the same hand as that which execut ed a precisely similar portrait pre served at Windsor castle. Rich In Paleolithic Implements. The museum is rich In paleolithic Implements a wonderful celt was dis covered within the last three weeks In Piccadilly circus in neolithic imple ments, and in weapons of the bronze age. Some admirable bronze swords have been found In Slon Reach, Mill wall, and Wandsworth, and are here displayed to indicate the civilization which had been attained before the advent ot the Romans, to whom the visitor is Introduced by a natural tran sition. The former dining room of Stafford house has been converted into "Lon- dinlum." Here are writing materials. artistic trifles, toilet appliances, per fume, and manicure boxes and toys. From Roman London the itinerary leads to the Saxon, Danish, and Anglo- iSaxon collections, whence one passes to the advent ot the Normans, At the end of the corridor Is a room contain ing medieval relics dating from 1200 to 1500. It Is perhaps when the staircase is ascended and the time of the Tudors is reached that the romance and color of London in old times are moBt for cibly brought home to the mind. The arms of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary, and Elizabeth are effectively displayed, and many curious and illuminating sur vivals of their reigns are to be seen, Relics of Sixteenth Century. Here, for instance, is the elaborate and handsome steelyard of Sir Thom as Oresham. Various domestic uten sils, examples of metal work, a few samples of costumes, illuminations, and landscapes help the visitor to vis ualize life in the sixteenth century, The proclamation for the resumption of relations with Spain after the de feat of the Armada and the warrant for the arrest and execution of the earl of Northumberland, both signed by Queen Elizabeth, afford a vivid glimpse of the character of that poten tate, from whose presence one passes into the room containing relics of James I and Charles I. A crucifix found In Goswell road strikes the note of the ecclesiastical tendencies of Charles' time. Stuart badges, symbols, personal ornaments, furniture and many documents are to be seen here before one reaches the ol remarkable collection of Cromwelllani formerly in the possession of Sir R Tangye, presented by his son, Sir H Tangye. . ' Cromwell's Bible, bearing his signa ture, and other personal possessions of great Interest are shown among the relics of the commonwealth, together with the Journal of the house of com- mono from July 4, 1563, to March 16, 1650. A gruesome object relating to this time Is the skull of Charles Bran don, the reputed executioner Charles I. Riches In Costume Exhibit. One can only hint in passing at the rich collections of Lambeth delft, ol Bow and Chelsea porcelain, and of Battersea enamel which have been lent or presented. The museum 1b rich in costumes of all periods from James I downwards. Mr. Joicey has given 48 or 49 complete Bets and some admirably preserved hats of the time of James I. Mrs. Abbey has presented the .com plete collection formerly owned by the late Edwin A. Abbey, R. A., and used by him in his studies for his histori cal pictures. Mention Is also to be made of the attractiveness of the cos tume galleries. The more sordid side of London life is lllusrated In the baBement of Staf ford house, where are collected exam ples of the prison cells formerly ex isting in Old London, many records ol Newgate when hanging was the rule for small offenses, and similar things. The Roman boat discovered on the site of the new county council hall has been accommodated with a shelter here, though it was necessary to pull down a part of a wall to introduce It. And, finally, as an instance of the catholk&v of the muBeum, It may be added that the postchalse used by the duke of Wellington at the battle ol Waterloo Is here preserved. Price Changes of a Century. A subscriber to the Weekly Blade . living in Pennsylvania, has sent us an account of a daybook kept In 1814 by one. of his forebears, the keeper ot a ' general store In Amity Township, Berks County, From this daybook one catches a glimpse not only ot what 100 years ago It cost the Penn sylvania citizen to live, but also a glimpse of how he lived. For Instance, ' "with nearly every bill ol goods charged would be attached one gallon of whisky, rum or brandy, price 25 cents." Homes were lighted with can dles "costing anywhere from 87 cents to 87 cents a pound." "Calico was 37V4 cents to 75 cents per yard. . "Tea was ?1 a pound. "In one charge a man bought one- quarter of veal at 4 cents a pound. "Eggs were never more than 10 cents per dozen, with 6 to 8 cents the commoner price. "Chickens, 12 to 18 cents apiece; geese, 25 cents to 37 cents apiece. "Beef, 3 to 4 cents; wool, 10 cents to 12 cents per pound; muslin, 50 cents per yard. 'The climax was reached in one charge one bushel of salt, $16." We seem to have boxed the com pass In the matter of the costs of liv ing. One hundred years ago it was manufactured goods and commodities against which transportation costs were charged which were high, food that was cheap. Today factory prod if things ever will be so comfortably ucts are cheap, food dear. We wonder arranged that food and manufactured goods and commodities from far dls- . tances will all be ; cheap.

An increase in the citizenship of this country was not among the many and multifarious predictions made at the outbreak of the European war, but such has occurred, especially In the anthracite regions ot Pennsylvania, according to reports from that section, the New York Times remarks. It is said that a great number of applica tions for first citizenship papers have been filed since the war began by for eigners, who for one reason or anoth er wish to be allied with a neutral na tion. None of the mining companies in the region, according to report, had complained of the loss of many labor ers by the return of reservists, and some mines are carrying more men on their pay rolls than, at this time last year. The laborers In the mines represenl many different countries. One com pany recently reported that Its aver age number of employees last year wal 12,782 men, of whom 6,284 were Rus slans, 2,141 Poles, 1,165 Tyroleans, 801 Austrlans, 751 Lithuanians, 599 Ital ians, 522 Slavs, 247 Hungarians, 10( Greeks and 5,284 American born oi naturalized. It Is the English employees holding the higher positions In the mines whe are going home because of the war, II is said, and it Is these who are diffi cult to replace, because most of then hold pobftions requiring a miner's cer tlflcate, which, under the laws of Penn sylvanla, It "takes a man three years U obtain. The English are going homd in greater proportion than the men pi other nations because they have mom money and can more easily reach theli country. Argentina Need Electrical Supplies, A call for electrlcifl supplies has come from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Owing to the war, the stock of elec trical goods has been greatly dimin ished, and there is an Immediate de mand for new supplies.

Stamping Eggs, While some dealers may have found - It beneficial to stamp eggs, for the purpose of showing the prospective customer the date on which they were laid, it is doubtful that the practice meets with the general approval of the buyers. First, the datemaker may or may not stamp the exact date on which the eggs were laid. The stamp may be put on a number of days after the lay ing, when the eggB are received by the dealer, or it may be put on even a number of days after the dealer re ceives the eggs, which means that the matter of dating the eggs can be ar ranged to suit the pleasure ot the Sealer. Secondly, the average buyer who wishes choice eggs and most buyers do object to having the eggs defaced by a stamp. Eggs thus marked do not make the appeal to customers that they are expected to make. The fact that eggs for sale to pri vate buyers must appear as being freBh and choice, stands clear, and the best way in which to attain this appeal is for the producer and the dealer to co-operate In placing before the cus tomers eggs which fill these require ments. In other words, the eggs Bhould not be offered unless they are such as are likely to fill the bill. In order that such eggs may be of fered, the producer has bis duty laid . out for his performance, as well as the dealer. A great deal depends upon the manner in which eggs are sorted, so far as their making appeal is con cerned. This is a simple matter, how ever, which the producer may attend to as the eggs come from the nests. About all there Is to It is for those of uniform color and size to be put together. It Is the producers' duty, also, to keep the roosters away from the laying hens; for it Is a well-known fact that fertile eggs will become unfit for use sooner than unfertile ones will. When the consumer has done bis duty, so far as he can, to place good, i wholesome eggs on the market, it Is the dealers' duty to keep them as near ly so as possible until Bold; and if they are not sold before losing these quail- tics he has no right to sell them at all, The producer must protect both the consumer and the dealer by not holding eggs long before placing them with the dealer.
