fan just gone ONE OF RENOLTS

Marked by Unrest Involving the Entire World. * 1 <9 * J--*--— ——- “REBELS” ALWAYS VICTORS Chinese and Mexican Revolutions and Strife Against Graft and Monop-oly-Great Strides Made .In Aviation.

When the historian of the future records the events of the year 1911, he will lay particular stress on the political and social unest throughout the world, This was not confined to any one country, nor to a few countries; It was world-wide, involving practically every nation, both civilized and uncivilized. It Included revolutions against long-standing governments, battles of labor and capital, wars between different nations and, in short, everything that could be branded as strife against existing conditions or growing conditions.

Most significant of all the events of the year was the explosion in open rebellion of the hatred, that had been accumulating through the ages, of the Chinese against the despotic Manchu dynasty. Passive, unresisting, yet at the same time loathing and despising the power that held them in subjection, the millions in the Far East empire had for centuries submitted to being trodden on by unreasoning, overbearing, all-potent self-styled demigods. JBut China was graduaiiy awakening and, when the first flames of revolution burst forth, it was the signal for the conflagration to become general. Rebels the Winners Everywhere.

But the Chinese insurrection was but a larger edition of dozens, yea, scores, of upheavals of various kinds in other parts of the world. Theybroke forth with such suddenness that it was almost Impossible to realize what was occurring until the whole thing was over. Without exception, every one of the great disturbances of the year that reached an ultimate result, wound up in favor of the party or element rebelling against the condition. In not one did the defense win over the offense. The Mexican revolution, near to our

the overturn of regime. Nearer still was the successful culmination of the battle for statehood of Arizona and New Mexico.

Other struggles of equal magnitude developed during the year, many of them with sensational effect, tn which the issue is still being fought. Among these are the battle between labor and capital, the “people” and monopoly, x and advocates of popular government as opposed to representative government. Campaigns on graft have been waged with fierce resolution by city, state and federal authorities, not only in all corners of the United States, but abroad as well.

The McNamara dynamiting case, the growth of sentiment for popular election of all federal officials, the progress of the woman suffrage movement, trust prosecutions, the campaign for currency reform and that for lower tariffs—all these typify the unrest that exists tn our own country. Year’s Important Events. *Aslde from the numberless conflicts, many noteworthy things have been penned in the diary of 1911. Science has witnessed vast strides, particularly in the field of aviation. Tbe flights of Atwood from St Louis to New York and of Rodgers from New York to Pasadena, Cai., were the crowning achievements in this ll n £ About alt that remains to be accomplished in aviation, as a feat, is the crossing of the ocean.

When all that is good and all that is bad are considered together, it cannot be said otherwise than that the year was one in which the good predominated.

Again the Poor Fat Man.

Among the passengers on a downtown car the other evening were a fat man, a lean man, who proved to be deaf, and a couple of giggly girls. On one of the side streets a German band was engaged in making life miserable for the residents of the neighborhood. The fat man shifted uneasily In his seat and remarked sarcastically to the lean man in a low tend, “Music!” The lean man put his hand to hie ear and said, “Eh?” , - “Music,” repeated tbe man in louder tones. ' “Beg pardon, I am not able to hear," said the lean man. “Music,” yelled the fat man, so loud that the passengers all tittered and the little giggly girls all grew red in the face. - / “Oh,” said the lean man as he turned around and looked about Mm. The little German band was out oi sight by this time, and the passengers laughed immoderately at the vain attempts of the unfortunate man to find the object of the fat man’s comments. Fat men are proverbially good natured, and by that time the oddity of the situation had dawned upon thia particular fat man. “Hum,” he said, “you folks needn’t laugh. Our friend saw. fully as much music as* you antTl heard.” —— 2

Natural Timepiece.

There is no need for clocks on ths Aegean sea any day when the sun 4s shining. There nature has arranged her only timepiece, one that does not vary though the centuries pass. This natural time marker is the largest sun. dial in the world. Projecting into the blue waters of the sea is a large promontory which lifts its head 3,000 feet above the waves. A* tbe' sun swings round, the pointed shadow of the mountain just' touches one after the other a number of small islands, which are at exact distances apart and act as hour marks on tbe great dial.

The Lesser Evil.

Marks—Why dq you allow your wife to run up such bigbilla? Parks—Because I’d sooner have trouble with my creditors than with bar—that's why.

CATER IN THE HOME

GREAT TIME-SAVER WHEN COMPANY 18 - '•"■■■■,/ * Culinary Establishment That Is Ordinarily Efficient Can Get AwayX From the Hackneyed Viands of Professional Caterer. In households where hospitality is frequently extended, it is an excellent idea, if the culinary department is ordinarily efficient to undertake some of the catering at home from time to time. A considerable saving is one result obtained by the undertaking, but another and sometimes more important one is the getting away from the somewhat hackneyed viands which professional establishments supply. For instance, instead _of the familiar standby of chickbn salad a. variation very delicious and much less generally served can be substituted. This is the rule for it: Cut the cold boiled or steamed chicken In cubes and for every three cupfuls thereof have one Cupful of English walnut meats. Put the nuts in a pan, sprinkle but lightly with salt and add butter in the proportion of one and a half tablespoonfuls to each cup of nuts. Cook in a slow oven I until they have browned delicately and are heated throughout, stirring when necessary. Take them from the oven, allowing them to cool before breaking them in bits and mixing with French dressing in which • they must soak awhile. Add the cubes of chicken and later just before the dish is wanted, celery prepared and crisped as usual, cut in small "'pieces. To each three cubes of chicken add one and a half cups of celery. The sauce is made in this way: Having prepared an ordinary mayonnaise dressing by the.usual recipe, (one having raw and hard boiled yolks in the same proportion, is quickest) add the follQwing mixture: Four ounces of cooked spinach, two tablespoonfuls of capers, a shallot chopped fine, two-thirds of a cup of parsley and one cupful of 'cress. These are pounded together In a mortar until fine enough to press through a very fine strainer.

To Wash Irish Crochet.

Irish crochet is one of the few laces which appear equally as well after washing as beforer" Have a basin of moderately hot suds made with a pure white soap. Stretch the lace on a board and scrub with a soft hand brush, using plenty of soap. -Rinse the lace thoroughly until every particle of soap has disappeared. Have the last rinse of blue water, and if the lace is discolored, allow it to bleach, dipping in water each time it is hung in the sun. When Ironing, use an unusually heavy , pad, covering the lace with a thin piece of muslin, to prevent soil from the irons. Iron until perfectly dry.

Jellied Fruit.

Soak two-thirds of gelatin in onehalf cup of cold water, let stand until dissolved, pour one-half teacup of hot water over the dissolved gelatin. Take the juice of two lemons, two oranges and one and one-half cups of sugar, separate one orange into small segments, removing the seeds. Lay bananas, cut in small pieces, and Malaga grapes with oranges in the bottom of the mold. Strain the liquid over these and set aside to cook Serve with Shipped cream if desiredf

Pressed Giblets.

Cook the giblets of turkey, chicken or duck until tender, then chop fine. Add to them a cup of bread crumbs which have been soaked in milk until soft, one small onion finely minced, season with sage, salt and pepper; then add a tablespoon of melted butter and one well-beaten egg. Press this mixture into a well-greased pan and bake three-quarters of an hour. Turn out of the pan when done. Cut in sheets when cold. This will be found very appetizing.

Mock Olives.

Two quarts of green plums, one and a half tablespoons of mustard seed, two quarts, of vinegar, two and a half tablespoons of salt. Place the plums in a stone jar. Turn the vinegar into a preserving kettle and add the salt; bring it to the boiling point and pour it bn the plums. £over closely. The next day drain off the vinegar, agaia heat it and pour it on the plums. When cold put them in olive bottles and cork tightly.

Platzen.

Use for this two cupfuls powdered sugar, the yolks of four eggs, a pinch each of cinnamon and cloves and flour to stiffen. Beat the egg yolks until light and foamy, stir in the sugar gradually, beat thoroughly, then add spices and flour enough to allow the batter to drop from a spoon Into a greased tin. Leave room enough to spread without touching.

One Egg Squash Pie.

Here is a cheap squash pie recipe: One . cup squash, one-fourt-h teaspoon Of salt, three-fourths cup boiling milk, one-fourth spoon of cassia, ginger or nutmeg, which ever you prefer (I almost always use a Mttle rose water for flavoring squash pies), onehalf cup sugar, one egg, well beaten. On* sit-’ ' ■

then, when in need of a laxative remedy, by taking a desertspoonful of the ever refreshing, wholesome and tally beneficial Syrup of rigi wvFßlmr nf Senna, which is the only family laxative generally approved by the most eminent physicians, because it acts in a natural, strengthening, way and warms and tMCT up Aejotemal ficial for the vepr young and the middle aged, as it is always efficient and free from all harmful ingredients. To get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the genuine, bearing the nmne of the CMnpajy~ printed on package.

THE WEAK POINT.

Saullbob—Don’t know how to court the girl? Well, my boy, you just tell her that you know she despises “jollying” and is the one woman in the world who can't be flattered. , . ; - Squilligan—Well? ' “That sort of guff will flatter her!”

Feminine Rebuke.

The suffragette was conversing with the eminent African traveler. “And you don’t believe in woman suffrage?” said the lady. “No, madam-/’ the hunter of big game replied. “I believe that the feminine traits, gentle, humane, tender, fit your sex for the home rather than for the sterner duties of life or tbe possible necessities of the state.” “Yes,” the suffragette replied. '1 have heard those arguments before. And now may I ask how you received that deep scar on your •cheek?” “It was given me by a lioness, madam,” The suffragette smiled. “Good for the lady Hon,” she said.— Cleveland Plain Dealer.

How He Found Out.

"Mr. Chairman,” shouted one of the delegates to. the convention, “I move that the nominating speeches be limited to one minute each!” “Second’the motion!” yelled a dozen others. , .’T* - A storm of protest arose, but the chairman put the motion. It was lost by a vote of 47 tq 45. “I merely wished to find out, Mr. Chairman,” explained the delegate who had made the motion, "how many ambitious orators there are in this convention. There are forty-seven.”

TIED DOWN. 20 Years' Slavery—How She Got Freedom.

A dyspepsia veteran who writes from one of England’s charming rural homes to tell how she won victory in her 20 years’ fight, naturally exults in her triumph over the tea and coffee habit: “I feel it a duty to tall you,” she says, ‘‘how much good Postum has done me. lam grateful, but also de sire to let others who may be suffering as I did, know of the delightful method by which I was relieved; "I had suffered for 20 years from dyspepsia, and the giddiness that usually accompanies that painful ailment, and which frequently prostrated me. I never drank much coffee, and cocoa and even milk did not agree with my impaired«digestiom so I used tea, exclusively, till about a year ago, when I found in a package of Grape-Nuts the little book, ‘The Road to Wellville.’ “After a careful reading of thebooklet I was curious to try Postum and sent for a package. I enjoyed it from the first, and at once gave up tea in its favor. '—- “I began to feel better very soon. My giddiness left me after the first few use of Postum, and my stomach became stronger so rapidly that it was not long.till I was able (as I still am) to take milk and many other ar- . tides of food of which I was formerly compelled to deny myself. I have proved the’ truth of yqur statement that. Postum ‘makes good, red blood.* "I. have become very enthusiastic over the merits of -my new table beverage, and during the past few months, have conducted a Postum propaganda among my neighbors which has brought benefit to many, and I shall cdnttnqe to.toll my friends of the ‘better way’ in which I rejoice.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
