Private Property at Sea.
Steady progress has been made to
ward the position of the United States
for the last century and a half. 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

And found it tilled with pain.

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

Is generally used on account of Us

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.

If you have difficulty In cleaning
the candle grease from metal candle
sticks try setting the candlesticks In

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

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

STATFORD HOU5D
TAFFORD house, the fine old I
mansion overlooking St James'
park and The Mall, which was
for so many years the town
house ot the dukes of Suther
land, has been thrown open to the
public as the London museum.
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

WAR ADDS TO CITIZENSHIP
Large Increase Noted In Application
for Naturalization Papers in
This Country.
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.

A call for electrlcifl supplies has

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. Fresno Herald,
