The Back Yard.
Paris Is s city noted everywhere for
beauty, not merely of architecture, but?
•f nature, and the art which good
teste Is able to evolve from nature.
Particularly Is It known for the beau
ty of its trees and flowers and parks.
The chief gardener of the city of Paris
has been spending a two months’ vaca
tion in the United States, studying
American methods in developing city
parks and gardens. He found much
to praise, but had nothing but con
demnation f • the American city back
yard. In New York, particularly, he
found the back yards incredibly ugly
and neglected—no grass, no trees, no
vines, no flowers. The crit'clsm would
hold good of almost any American
«ity, but the matter is one which
young landscape architects are be
ginning seriously to consider. One
such in Boston, says the Youth's
Companion, Is making a special study
•f the problem of converting a few
square yards of brick pavement into a
little secluded bower of greenery,
where the family can have a restful
hour or a pleasant meal, in surrond
Ings far more attractive than the ave>
age roof-garden affords. Manufactur
ers Interested in this young man’s
work have produced special pieces of
garden furniture, of cement and terra
eotta. A New Yorker has recently
told, in print, of the curiosity he felt
at the wording of an advertisement of
some apartments to rent. One of the
attractions mentioned was the outlook
•n real trees and back yards which
were gardens. Later conversation
with the agent disclosed the fact that
the modest attempt at beauty which
the windows commanded was a real
asset. It raised the rentable value of
the property.
Cultivate the Imagination.
He who can read easily and under
standing^ possesses the key to all hu
man knowledge. If he reads with im
agination alert, his mind will be
progressive. He will become more
and more self-reliant, and will become
v self-confident a3 he realizes the
strength of his imaginative powers.
He will each day become more valu
able to himself and to his employer,
because he is alert and receptive, and
because imagination will permeate all
his ideals, his thoughts and his activ
ities. The man with imagination is
equal to all emergencies, for when one
way of accomplishing a desired re
sult proves inefficient, he will think
«f another, says the New York World.
The imaginative gift broadens the out
look and creates resourcefulness. To
the artist, the student, and the philos
opher, the development of the imag
inative faculty is of the greatest value,
hut to the worker in the business or
mechanical world its value is little
less. The man who has imaginative
strength never can be downed, for
when one of his schemes has failed,
he always has another ready, and will
persist until he achieves success.

Not long ago, the Youth’s Com
panion, in an article on English
historical pageants, made the sugges
tion that something of a similar kind
might well form a part of anniversary
eelebrations in this country. Since
then something of the sort has taken
place. The observance of "Ohio day”
by the town of Rutland, Mass., was
made intensely interesting, and also
historically valuable, by a pageant in
which men, women and children were
dressed as were the pioneers of Gen.
Rufus Putnam’s band, and drawn by
alow-moving oxen hitched to “prairie
■chooners.” More lately still the ap
proval by Lord Tennyson of a pageant
with scenes taken from his father’s
poems, as a celebration of the hun
dredth anniversary of the poet’s birth,
has led to the suggestion on this Bide
ef the water that the coming Whittier
eentebary be marked by a pageant of
•cenes from the Quaker poet’s verse.
The simplicity and historic character
ef much of Whittier’s poetry would
■sake this easy.

RISES TO EMERGED
CORTELYOU WINS SPURS IN RE
LIEVING FINANCIAL TROUBLE.
Success of Secretary of Treasury l«
Typical of the Man—Astonished
Cabinet by Direct Method
Last March.
Washington.—The success of Secr»
tary Cortelyou of the treasury depart
ment in handling the recent complex
financial situation in New York is
thoroughly typical of the man, say his
friends, who declare Secretary Cor
telyou has never yet failed not only to
rise to every emergency with which
he has been confronted, but to rise
above it It may be forgotten by some
that the very financiers in Wall street,
with whom Secretary Cortelyou held
daily conferences and who accepted
his word and his advice as law, were
less than one year ago opposing his
confirmation as secretary of the treas
ury on the ground that he was not
fitted by experience for the position.
While the senate has rarely ever
failed to confirm a nomination of a
cabinet officer Bent to it by a presi
dent and while the confirmation of Mr.
Cortelyou was never seriously in
doubt, nevertheless there was a de
cided opposition to him in financial
circles in New York, which made its
presence felt in the senate. Much
of this opposition In the senate was
charged at the time to animosity of in
dividual senators to the policies of
the administration in general with
which they were out of sympathy.
There was, however, a certain amount
of slncere'opposition to Mr. Cortelyou
for the reason mentioned.
Sticretary Cortelyou took hold of the
treasury department with a distinct
understanding between him and the
president that he was to run the de
partment without interference. He
had certain policies of his own he
wished put into operation, not the
least; important of which was that he
GEORGE B. CORTELYOU.
determined to take the treasury not
only out of politics but out of the
Stock market. This was revolution of
the worst sort from a Wall street
standpoint, but it took just one lesson
to teach “the street” that it was face
to face with a new regime in the
treasury department.
In less than a month after Mr. Cor
telyou took his office he got his first
baptism of fire. The March panic
came on. There is no gainsaying the
fact that the new secretary was nerv
ous over the situation. He had his
Ideas how such things should be
handle!, but he had never applied
them rractically, although assured by
sound financiers that they were prac
tical. Right in the heat of the crisis,
however, an opportunity came closer
at home than he expected for an ex
hibition of his own confidences in him
self and his plans.
That opportunity came' at a cabinet
meeting. The cabinet was assembled
and certain members of it who had
been besieged by friends in financial
circles to urge that the government
come to their assistance x crowded
around the cabinet table with anxious
fac6s. At the outset of the meeting
not one but several joined in the re
quest that the financial crisis be made
the subject of the meeting. It is
related that the president said he
thought it fair that the secretary of
the treasury should first be allowed
to tell the cabinet what the trouble
was and what he had done to remedy
It. Secretary Cortelyou in a few words
laid the entire framework of the pend
ing financial situation before the cab
inet. In an equally short time he told
the members what he had done to
ease the danger of a panic and he
concluded his remarks with this sen
tence: “That has been done and it is
all that will be done.”
Until the cabinet fully grasped the
comprehensiveness of Secretary Cor
telyou’s own remedies 'the members
sat in open-mouthed astonishment at
his audacity in bringing the discussion
so abruptly to a close. It was plain
from the position he assumed that he
would not welcome any further talk
on the subject and when the cabinet
members realized that all had been
done tha:; could be done anyway, there
was really nothing more to be saiu.
Big Trade in Peanuts.
Over 60,000 tons of peanuts are
brought to Bordeaux annually from
Africa, and the value of the oil made
from them is *2,000,000. Many French
families prefer it for table use to olive
oil, and it is much cheaper, too, the
price being 55 to 82 cents a gallon,
according to quality.

LA TRAPPE CHURCH.
Ancient Edifice Near Philadelphia to
Be Opened for Visitors.
Norristown, Pa. — The ancient
church of La Trappe, which inspired
Longfellow to write some beautiful
verses, is to be opened on request to
any pilgrims who visit the quiet little
spot, a few miles from here, where
the historic church still stands, a lit
tle shaky in its old age but dignified
and beautiful still. If you are suf

tical landmarks as to take a trolley

ANCIENT PULPIT OF OLD LA
TRAPPE CHURCH.
rusty lock turned for your admit
tance.
Within the church you will see the
unpainted pews just as they wens
nailed together by the pioneers. The
woodwork is worn smooth by the
pressure of successive generations of
worshipers on the high backs of the
pews, but just as they were construct
ed in 1743 so they appear to-day.
In one corner a quaint old pulpit of
walnut, with the high sounding board
of ancient days, is the most ornate
feature, while upstairs there is all
that remains of the pipe organ that
was imported from Europe soon after
the congregation settled down in its
fine new church. What with the
antics of the soldiers during the revo
lutionary war, when music for ribald
barrack room ballads was played on
the old instrument, and the attacks
of vandals and relic hunters, there is
little left of the organ but the frame.
The pews, the records tell us, were
occupied by the men on one side and
the women on the other, while the
apprentices, servants and children
were watched over by the sexton in
the gallery above.
There is some controversy as to the
origin of the name La Trappe. It is
generally conceded, however, that it
originated from the remark of an
early settler who had visited a little
tavern in the vicinity and who, on be
ing scolded by his wife, stated that he
had fallen into the “trap” on his way
home.
A curious inscription in the grave
yard adjoining the old church records
that one John Favinger was born in
1774 and died in 1721, “aged 47 years
and seven days." It isn’t recorded
that the “trap” was responsible for
this, but such may have been the
case.

COULD USE THE ROAD.
Irish Soldier’s Great Idea When Cover
Was Badly Needed.
The following colloquy Is said to
have actually occurred during one of
the earlier battles in the Philippines:
A detachment of American infantry,
under orders to support a section of
Capt. Reilly’s battery, were halted for
quite a while on a perfectly flat mili
tary road in full view and fine range
of the Filipino trenches. Of course, to
lie flat on the road was the only avail
able “use of cover.”
In this detachment was an Irishman
who had served his time with the col
ors in the British army before he en
listed with Uncle Sam. As a recruit
he had been very prone to tell how the
British soldiers did everything. As a
result he was incessantly plied with
questions as to his experiences. While
the bullets were “plopping” down the
road and kicking up the gravel, a
young Yankee suddenly asked:
“Say, Mike, What do the British sol
diers do with their heads in a place
like this?”
Quick as a flash came the retort:
“A British soldier has no head,
sorr!”
After a full two-minute pause, Mike
continued:
“However, be that as it may, I wish
I could pick up this d— road and
iltn’ it on edge ferninst me!”
An Acute Observer.
A one-armed man sat down to his
noonday luncheon in a little restaur
ant the other day, and seated on the
right of him was a big, sympathetic
individual from the rural district.
The big fellow noticed his neigh
bor’s left sleeve hanging loose and
kept eyeing him in a sort of how-did
it-happen way. The one-armed man
failed to break the ice, but continued
to keep busy with his one hand sup
plying the inner man.
At last the inquisitive one on the
right could stand it no longer. He
changed his position a little, cleared
his throat and said: “I see, sir, you
have lost an arm.”
Whereupon the unfortunate man
picked up the empty sleeve with his
right hand, peered into it, looked up
with a surprised expression, and said:
"By George, sir, you’re right.”

“Yes, teach’, I show you,” and a will

such speed as to make her stumble
over an Italian dame seated on the
threshold.
After the teacher’s breathless flight
toward the clouds, the little hand
stopped tugging.
“There where Mees Scandale live,”
indicated the horizontal arm and fin
ger, "but she downstair sitting on the

SCHOOL TEACHER8
Also Have Things to Learn.
“For many years Y'bave used coffee
and refused to be convinced of its bad
effect upon the human system,” writes
a veteran school teacher.
“Ten years ago I was obliged to give
up my much loved work in the public
schools after years of continuous la
bor. I had developed a well defined
case of chronic coffee poisoning.
“The troubles were constipation,
fiutterings of the heart, a thumping
in the top of my head and various
parts of my body, twitching of my
limbs, shaking of my head, and, at
times after exertion, a general “gone”
feeling with a toper’s desire for very
strong coffee. I was a nervous wreck
for years.
“A short time ago friends came to
visit us and they brought a package of
Postum with them, and urged me to
try it. I was prejudiced because some
years ago I had drunk a cup of weak,
tasteless stuff called Postum which I
did not like at all.
“This time, however, my friend
made the Postum according to direc
tions on the package, and it won me.
Suddenly I found myself improving in
a most decided fashion.
“The odor of boiling coffee no long- ]
er tempts me. I am so greatly bene
fited by Postum that if I continue to
Improve as I am now, I’ll begin to
think I have found the Fountain of |

FINE PEANUT CANDY
I
- !
RECIPE THAT 13 USED BY THE
CHINESE.
Orientals Know Well How to Make
Thia Favorite Confection—Deli
cious When Prepared at Home
•—The Pecan Pralines.
There is no peanut candy better
than that made by the Chinese. Ti e
sugar and water are not boiled to the
“crack,” but to the “ball” degree e .
dently. A slight flavor of lemon p*
may be given. The peanuts are added
and the soft mass turned Into a re
ceptacle which contains a deep layer
of little white sesame seeds. More
seeds are scattered over the top, a i!
these adhere to the hot candy. When
cool it is cut in squares or diamonds
with a very sharp knife, for if a
knife be dragged over it the candy
would pull out of shape.
Peanut Candy.—A homemade pea
nut candy may be made from three
pounds of sugar and a pound and a
half of peanuts. Allow one pint of
water for the sugar and boil it. As
soon as it comes to a boil put lu the
peanuts and a large teaspoonful of
pure cream of tartar. Have a very
moderate Are and let It cook until
when you lift the wooden spatula you
use for candy-making the nuts and
syrup will run off easily from it.
Have a baking pan well oiled or but
tered. When about cold invert the
pan and let the sheet of candy fall
upon the table. Turn It over and with
a sharp knife cut It into strips, or,
if not so particular, just knock it
smartly and break it into Irregular
pieces. Other nuts may be so used.
Pecan Pralines.—Pecan nuts should
be made Into pralines with brown
sugar. Choose the best dark brown
sugar and boll it with a little water
until it spins a thread. Then put in
the nuts and turn into rings, or drop
In circles the size of a cooky on paper.
If they do not come oft easily, a little
moistening of the paper on the reverse
side will make them loosen.
If you have an old-fashioned grocer
who has good molasses barrels, get
the sugary deposit in them. Perhaps
some baker may have this, but mo
lasses in the good old way is not eas
ily had since modern mills and trusts
came into vogue and rapid methods
have driven out old slow ways. Peo
ple get syrup in cans and molasses
does not play the part it once did.
Sorghum will not answer for the old
recipes in confectionery or ginger
bread or steamed puddings.
Cocoanut, when shredded, or brazil
nut sliced may be added to white
sugar pralines. Boil the sugar and
water until it will spin a thread and
may be cooled and stirred until it will
drop out a creamy mass, but not so
stiff but that it will spread easily,
and cool in firm cakes.
White Mountain Pudding.
One pint sweet cream, whipped to
stiff froth; one cup granulated sugar,
boiled until it threads; one cup mixed
nuts chopped fine, two ounces can
died cherries, one small can sliced
pineapples, whites of four eggs beat
en to a stiff froth. Pour the sirup
over the beaten eggs, then add this
to the whipped cream, also the fruit,
cut into small pieces, and nuts. Pack
in ice and salt to ripen about eight or
•ten hours. It can be served with or
without the following sauce: Yolks
of two eggs, over which pour grad
ually the sirup made as above, with
one cup granulated sugar, add juice
and grated rind of one lemon; also
three large bananas, mashed. ^ Serve
cold over^the pudding.
Sauce for Desserts.
A plain vanilla ice cream, a corn
starch pudding, or a minute tapioca
becomes a fancy dessert when served
with chocolate custard sauce. Beat
one egg with on-fourth cup sugar until
well Incorporated, add a pinch of salt
and one cupful hot milk, beating con
stantly to prevent the egg cooking;
melt one-fourth ounce chocolate and
one-eighth cupful sugar with two
tablespoonfuls hot water in basin of
hot water until it becomes glossy;
then add to the milk and eggs and
cook in double boiler until custard
coats the spoon; when cool add one
fourth teaspoonful ground cinnamon.
Idea for a Wash Cloth.
A design for a wash cloth which will
do away with confusion when several
people in the family leave their towels
and wash cloths in the bathroom is
made as follows: Buy a yard and
, three-quarters of linen crash, at 16
cents a yard. Buttonhole the edges in
scallops with a dull finish floss and
work the monogram in the corner
with the same floss. This takes but a
small amount of time compared with
the confusion it does away with.
Improved Mush.
To improve the flavor and quality
of grated or ground mush heat sifted
meal on a shallow pan or two pans,
if necessary, in a moderate oven till
it is deliciously parched, yet not
scorched brown or the least blacken
ed. Then stir into boiling water sufll
ciently salted. This is less liable to
be lumpy or pasty; also cooks sooner
than raw meal.
Creamed Potatoes.
Slice thinly six boiled potatoes.
Make a white sauce with a spoonful
each of flour and chopped parsley
fried in butter. Do not let these get
brown. Add a cup of water and last
the chopped potatoes. Season with
salt and pepper and let boil slowly
for 10 minutes, stirring often. Serve
hot.
Brighten Picture Frames.
Gilt picture frames may lie freshen
ed and brightened by washing them
with a soft brush dipped in the fol
lowing mixture: Put enough flour of
sulphur into a pint of water to give it
a yellow tinge, add two onions cut
into pieces, and let them boil; strain
into a dish, and when the liquid be
comes cold it is ready for UBe:
Walnut Waffles.
One scant cup brown sugar, two
eggs, one teaspoon baking powder,
four heaping tablespoons of flour,
three-fourths cup chopped walnuts.
