However, I wfll restrain myself. With reference to the ambas­ sador's remarks on gold, I wish to say that when I see the progress my coun- trdy has made walking on one leg I wonder what it would have done walk­ ing on two legs. It Is pleasing to tes< tlfy that the ambassador not only has fought roe hut that he has done it well. No American rejoices more than I that ihe is 3,000 miles from his base. While abroad I have met many good Repub­ licans--holding office--and I only wish that tltere were enough offices abroad to take all the Republicans out of the country." Drink to Mrs. Long-worth.

One sUce of veal from the leg^put half an Inch thick. " Wipe it, remove the bone, the tough membranes be­ tween the muscles and around the edge, and cut the fat in small pieces. Lay the meat on a 'hardwood board, scatter the fat over it, and pound it out very thin, lapping it over where broken,- and pound the fat into the meat. Keep the meat in rectangular shape, with the edges even. Cover the .meat with a thin layer of finely- shaved cold boiled ham. Chop fine two thin slices of fat salt pork, mix it with «four butter crackers rolled fine, season highly with salt, pepper, lemon, onion1 juice, and, if you like, add a slight sprinkling of thyme. Moisten with hot water or veal stock till it will hold together, add one well-beaten egg, and spread the mixture over the surface of the meat nearly to the edge. Roll the meat over tightly, and tie securely, leaving a little room for it to swell. Wrap a piece of cheesecloth round it, and tie It at the ends. Put it in a kettle with a trivet underneath; cover with boil­ ing water; add one sliced onion, a half inch of bay leaf and one tea- spoonful of mixed whole spice, also the bones and clean trimmings from the veal,'and let it simmer three hours. Let it cool in the liquor un­ til you can hantlle it; then remove it and put it in a brick loaf pin with another par*, weighted, on top of it. *When ready to serve, ' remove the strings and cloth, trfm off the edges, and if the whole is likely to be used, lay it on a platter" and carve^t in thin slices, but keep them together like a whole roll. Strew water- cresses lightly around the edge, with overlapping slices of tomato on. one end and a mound of whipped cream flavored with grated* horse radish and lemon on the other end. '• • . Or slice only what will be needed, and arrange it on a plattter with a garnish of cress and radishes. The veal will be delicious in sand­ wiches. Shave it very thin, and sprinkle with horBe radish, and put buttered bread.--Mary I. HOME DRESSMAKING. Here are a few hints whicfe the home dressmaker will appreciate and which, some of them, the professional would do well to store away for use. To prevent the otherwise inevitable sagging of the circular skirt, hang it up by the binding, or better still, on the form, before the bottom is finished and allow it to remain for three or four days or even longer. Then trim it off to the desired length and even­ ness and you may rest secure in the fact that it will remain a "good hang­ ing skirt." In sewing a lace frill on the stock don't attempt it German fashion, "over and over." It will stay "over" if you do. Hold It straight with the collar and run It on, ilien, even though close­ ly gathered, it will stand up as it should. If sleeves,are too long or too full, don't rip them out. First take a tuck or fold in the tops, making them the desired length, and baste. Try on, and if right, then cut off the superfluous material. Keep a tiny vial of powdefed slip­ pery elm in your work basket, and thrust the needle into it occasionally. It helps to make sewing a pleasure. Make a proper selection of needles. That is, do not attempt to make a coarse needle do fine work nor a very fine needle carry coarse thread. The rule works both ways--wrongly. Beyond and above these "hints," re­ member to sit properly and to take a "breathing spell," if only a couple of minutes, whenever there is a feeling of exhaustion.--Boston Budget and Beacon. Berry Pudding. When blackberries appear make this berry pudding, which is a favorite one at the Boston cooking school: Beat one- third of a cup of butter to a cream. Add gradually half a cup of sugar and the boaten yolks of two eggs. Sift to­ gether two cups of previously sifted flour, four level teaspoonfolg of baking powdor and half a teasfJoonfifl of salt. Add this to the creamed butter, sugar and eggs. Put in half of the flour mix­ ture, mix and then put in half a cupful of cold water. Mix in the rest of the flour, etc. Beat thoroughly, and l£st of all told In the well-beaten whites of two eggs. Sprinkle a cup­ ful of blackberries with a little flour, and add them to the batter as It Is dropped, a spoonful at a time, into the mold, which should be rubbed, with unsaited butter. Steam an hour and a half, or bake 25 minutes, and serve with a blackberry hard sauce. The sauce is made in the usual way, with half a cup of butter and a cup of sugar. Add to this half a cupful of crushed berries. : Fatal Duel on Horseback. Pitfcltt, Col.--George Campbell was shot and killed Wednesday duel with Frank Vader, a fought on horseback.

We cannot safely bottle up sleep to-night for to-morrow night's use, nor force our stomachs at one meal be­ cause we expect to eat sparingly at the next, nor become exhausted in work­ ing day and night, expecting to make It up later. Nature does nothing be­ fore her appointed time, and any at­ tempt to hurry her invariably means ultimate disaster. She takes note of all our transactions, physical, mental and moral, and places every item to sour credit. There is no such thing as cheating nature. She may not present her bill on the day we violate her law, but if we overdraw our account at her bank and give her a mortgage on our minds and bodies, she ^rill surely fore­ close. She may lend us ^11 we want to-day, but to-morroW, like ShylocI:, she will demand the last ounce, of flesh. Nature does not excuse man for weakness, incompetence or igno-> ranee. She demands that he be at thsptop of his condition. , Root Sails for New York.---Secretary of State Elihu Root sailed from New York Wednes­ day on the United States cruiser .Charleston on his three mohjhs' South American tour.

RIGHTS OF PEOPLE MUST COXS THROUGH CONGRESS., PRESIDENT TELLS OF WORK Efforts to Restrain Corporate of Indi­ vidual Oreed Must Be Approached in Spirit of Fairness and -. fustic to Bay, N. IT.--Presfcient Roosevelt delivered a remarkable Fourth of July address here Wednes­ day. It was an address against the demagogue, against hatred and% rancor in public officials and In private citi­ zens and a plea for charity In the ad­ ministration of all duties. .The president spoke as follows: Gives Account of Stewardship. Mr. Chairman and yon, my old friends and neighbors, you among whom I was brought up and with whom I have lived for so many years, it is a real and great pleasure to have th© chance of being with you to-day, to sajr<» few words of greeting to you, and in a Sense to give an account of my stewardship. 1 say in a sense, friends, because after all the steward­ ship teally has to give an account of Itself. If a man needs to explain over- milch what he has done, it Is pretty sure proof that he ough.t to have done it a little differently and so as regards most of what I have done I must let it speak for itself. But there are two or three things about which I want to talk to you to­ day, and if in ^he presence of dominies I may venture to speak from a text I shall t^ke as my .text the words of Abraham Lincoln, which he spoke in a remarkable little address delivered to a band of people who were serenad­ ing nim at the White House just after his reelection to the presidency. He said: "In any great national trial hereaf­ ter, the men of that day' as compared with those of this will be as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us therefore study the Incidents of this, as philosophy from which to . learn wisdom, and not as wrongs to be^avenged," and he add­ ed latei In the speech a touching and characteristic expression of his, say­ ing "so long as I have been here, I have not willingly planted a thorn In any roan's breast." Says Iniquity Exists. We have heard a great deal during the past year or two of the frightful Iniquities in our politics and our busl- nws. L. SMJtl, fcRARB Angel of Lower Rank. „ _ Father Taylor's youngest grandchild ness, f.nd the frightful wrongdoing "in - v^ec,aretl she saw angels ^ t|ie bur social life. Now there is plenty of iniquity in business, in politics, in our social life. There is every war­ rant lor our acknowledging these great evils. But there is no warrant for growing hysterical about them. This year In congress our chief task has been to carry the government for­ ward along the coupe which I think it must follow consistently for a num­ ber of years to come--that is in the di­ rection of seeking on behalf of the people as a whole, through the nation­ al government which represents the people as a whole,' to exercise a meas­ ure of supervision, control and re­ straint over the individuals, and espe­ cially over the corporations, of great wealth, in > so far as the business use of that wealth brings it within the reach of the federal government. We have accomplished a fair amount and the reason that we have done so has been in the first place because we have not tried to do too much, and in the next place because we have approached the. task absolutely free from any spirit of rancor or hatred. In any such movement a man will find that he has allies whom he does not like. You cannot protect property without finding that you are protecting the property of some people who are not very straight. You cannot war against the abuses of property with-, out finding that there are some people warring beside you whose motives you would frankly repudiate. But in each case be sure that you keep your own motives and your own conduct straight. Will Defend the Oppressed. When it becomes necessary to curb a great corporation, curp it. I will ao my best to help you do it But I will do it In no spirit of anger or hatred to^ the men who own or controPthat cor­ poration; and if any seek in their turn to do wrong to the ihen of means, to do wrong to the men who own those corporations, I will turn around and fight for them in defense of their rights just as hard as I fight against them when 1 think they are doing wrong. Distrust as a demagogue the man who talks only of the wrong done by the mean of wealth. Distrust as a dem­ agogue the nian-who measures iniquity by the purge.
