STRIKE HAS BECOME EKDURANCECONTEST i San Francisco.— Quiet prevails In the strike situation over the Harriman lines on the coajt, after a week which has been chgr/ctsrized here by lack of the usual disorders and riots be tween strikers and strikebreakers. Beyond a few flat tights there has been no trouble. On the coast the strike has Settled down into an endurance contest, with the strikers calm, and appearances greatly against the railroad. Engines are known to be going dead in large numbers la various «oast divisions. Portland.—The railroad strike on the Harrim an railroad lines reveals no sign of weakening In either of the bel ligerent camps. The officials of the railroad companies are doing every thing in their power to Ignore the fact that a strike Is on, but each day th© condition of the rolling stock and'mo tive power of the roads becomes more impaired until, bo the strikers believe, it can be only a comparative ly abort time until the officials will have to not only recognize but con cede the strikers’ demands.

There A rt Various Dellolous Ways ef Serving Thom. The sight of the big brown cocoa- nuts lu the fru it stalls recalls many delightful ways of using them. Al though the desiccated kind sold In packages has its uses, It la often sold whpn stale, and one cannot be as sure of It as of the fresh nut. .- When selecting a cocoanut choose one in which the “milk” cun be beurd when It' Is shaken. Tuuch o(>eu tbe small spots at the end of the out to let out this liquid and then break it open with a liumuyer. Tlie thin rind after hreaklug the shell away from the m eat can l»e peeled off neatly with a French cook’s knife. A cocoanut can he grated in quan tity a t hevae'and dried wttbHsngar. It will keep fresh a long time and will not lose its delicate flavor. Grate the white meat on a platter and sprinkle w ith tbe sugar. Place it In tbe oven with tho door open so that it w ill dry slowly. The heating closet under the oven has been used in thia way to ad vantage. The smallest cutter of the meat grinddr may sometimes be used instead of the grater, and if it can it w ill save much time and patience. Some choppers cut tbe cocoanut into tiny lumi>s, which are not attractive. About one cupful and a half of grated cocoanut coo he obtained from one nut rather under medium else. Fresh cocoanut grated In this way is also nice if slightly browned, but if a gas range Is lx?lng used care must be ta k en not to place the cocoanut too near the flames, as it catches Are easily J Custards, bonbons and other sweets are Improved by a sprinkling of this browned cocoanut. , Grated cocoanut may take the place of meringue on a pie. and some pup ates will like it better. A few flakes should be folded through the Alling,, nnd the covering should be delicately browned. Apple tarts treated In this way are very attractive. F ill the bnkeC'SbellB of puff paste with apple sauce? sprinkle liberally with snowy cocoanut nud put tbe tarts into the oven for five or ten minutes or until the filling has thickeued and tbe co- connut is n delicate brown. Fresh grated cocoanut may l>e used to advnutuge with strawlwrries In va rious dc.sacrts nnd other sweets. A cocoanut blancmange, for example, Is delicious if each plateful is served with a large spoonful of very ripe mellow berries. No two flavorings combine so well as orange and cocoanut. Sliced sweet orange^ are often sprinkled with co- coauut nnd served ns a dessert fo r a supper. Sliced bananas may be served In place of tbe sliced oranges and cov ered with a snowy coating of sweet ened whipped cream nnd sprinkled with a little fresh cocoanut. For a tuttl fruttl put sliced orauges and bananas la layers, sprinkling between with sugar ami grated cocoanut aud arranging over the top n decoration of maraschino cherries or very r1|»e strawberries rolled In powdered sugar Capl»rt, for Whom R-.werd Is Offered, Recently in ftorth.
