Aa appeal from the society to the Philadelphia Drug Association resulted in a promise from that body that h soda wa.ter, cigars or candy should be sold by its members on the Sabbath. In the discussion of current events an item was iea.i in w-.!-:r. it was stated that a wedding Is to be the attraction every Sunday next summer at £ neighboring beach, where excise laws threaten interference with Sunday revels.

There was considerable comment when an ■o&seement was made that Mrs. Jenny June Croly ha<i given a luncheon on Sunday to members of the New-York Wurr.ar.'s Press Club, and that there was talk of the ciubrooms being open on Sundays.

WORK OF THE ISLAND MISSION— A BMND GIRL'S CHOICE OF BOOKS. Probably no money spent by the Island Mission during the last year has given more pleasure than the few dollars expended upon "Evangellne," Tennyson's "Princess" and selections from Long fellow's poems, all In raised characters, for a young blind girl in the epileptic ward of the City Hos pital on Blackwell's Island. The girl is intelligent and able to read with her fingers, but before these stories were given her Bhe had only one book Id raised characters, and In the Intervals of the at tacks to which she Is subject spent long hours sitting drearily In the dark. The books were her own choice. None of the people in the epileptic ward are capable of continuous effort, but they are, much of the time, as well as any one. The island mission has contributed toward the support of a teacher for these unfortunate people. The Special Diet Fund given by this mission has been the means of helping- back to strength many who have been sick In the City Hospital. According to the report of the superintendent of the New- York City Training School for Nurses, at least three patients during the year must have died without the delicate nourishment thus afforded. Many ar.d varied are the benevolencles of this society. The toddlers and feeble-minded children of Randall's Island have been cheered by cages of singing birds, which have been placed in the wards; spectacles, yarn and knitting have been provided for the aged of various Institutions- nelp has been afforded in fitting out a diet kitchen In connection with the CKy Hospital; small sums of money and warm cardigan Jackets have been given to desti tute male patients on leaving the island and a course of medical lectures to the nurses by physi cians of the visiting staff of the City Hospital has been paid for by a special committee. Baby car riages go-carts, baseballs, bats and croquet sets have been provided for children who are Inmates of the asylums and hospitals The Island Mission was founded in 18SS. for the purpose of i Ch erl the poor and sick in public charitable institutions.

SOME WAYS OF COOKIXG EGGS. EGG PTTF. Separate the white and yolk of a fresh egg. Beat the white stiff, form it into a nest and place In a thin, wide topped cup. Make a shallow hollow In the centre of the nest and put into It the unbroken yolk. Set the cup In a pan of boiling water: cover and cook for three minutes. Remove carefully from the cup to a hot plate, and season with but ter pepper and «alt. This makes not only an at tractive and palatable dish for an invalid, but Is more digestible than when cooked in the shell or whpn the wnite la unbeaten. Eggs cooked in this manner and sprinkled with choppod parsley make an attractive breakfast dish POACHED EGGS. To poach an- egg for garnishinjr purposes, put one tablespoonful of vinegar and two teaspoonfala cf salt into a pint of water. When the mixture is boiling-. drop Into the point of greatest ebullition an unbeaten egg. Let it boil hard for one minute, or until it has rolled Itself up. Then remove to the sld« of the range where it will not boll and allow It to cook for five minutes. An egg dropped in this way into plain boiling water will be dissipated in the water. But tae salt ana vfnfgar rnif=<= rhe temperature to co hich a de gree that the albumen of the egg is At once coagulated and the action of the bo Fling water rolls the white about the yolk. The white of e"g« cooked In this manner is leather> . To poach an egg for breakfast or luncheon, break a fresh en carefully and drop it into a buttere-i egg poacher. Place the poacher in hot not boil- Ing, water and cook until the white is set. Remove to a buttered slice of toast and season with butter pepper and salt. TO STIFF EGGS. Boil the number of eggs required for fifteen minutes. Remove the shells, cut In two crosswise and take off a thin slice from each end. so that they will stand. Remove the yolks and rub them to a cream. Season with butter, pepper, salt and chopped chowchow to taste. Put the mixture into the white, allowing it to be heaped slightly. Stand the haJves on a platter and pour around them ■ mushroom sauce made as fellows: Melt one tablespoonful of butter in the saucepan. and when it bubbles add to it one tablespoonful of flour. Cook these for three minutes without browning, stirring with the bottom of th<- spoon constantly. Add one-half cup of hot water and cook and stir until smooth. Then put into the mixture a can of chopped mushrooms with the liquor and ccok for rifteen minutes. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste. . Pour the sauce around, not over, the eggs, and serve cold. KTXDERGARTEX COXTEXTIOX. SEVENTH ANNUAL MEETING WILL BE HELD IX BROOKLYN IN APRIL.

Finding hospital nursing her true vocation, she underwent a lengthened course of training in England, and in ISSS found her way to Sydney, where she Joined the nursing staff of the Prince Alfred Hospital, one of the fir.e«t institutions of its kind in Australia. Her<» she remained several years, advancing stead ily In her profession. Subsequently she became attached to the nursing staff of the St. Hilda Hos pital, near Melbourne, and. later on. had charge of a. private hospital. She then accepted the ap pointment of matron of the Sydney Hospital, Which poet she occupied for nearly eight years, after which she became matron of an asylum at Rydal mere, several miles out of the New South Wales metropolis.

CHILDREN'S QUESTIONS. HFT'L ANSWERS SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THEM, SAYS MR. SAI.TER. HE BELIEVKS IX FAIRY TAI,E9. AS A LITTLE NONSENSE NOW AND THEN" IS AS GOOB FOR A CHII.P AS FOR A MAN. At the regular meeting of the Women's Confer ence of the Society of Ethical Culture, held yester day afternoon at the headquarters. Madlson-ave. and Fifty-r.lnth-st.. William M. Salter. the leader of the Chicago branch of that society, spoke on "Children's Questions and How to Answer Them." He was presented to the audience by Mrs. Luis Sollgsberg. president pro tern., after th» regular club business had been transacted. Mr. Salter stated In part: A child's desire to question means for itself In tellectual development, for the best instruction we receive through life is the return for some want expressed, something craved for and sought after. When a child asks some question in seeking for knowledge which requires a little care and thought on our own part to answer correctly, It Is often est replied to by "Don't bother me; that'H a good child. " which moans what is most convenient and comfortable to ourselves. To question Is the natu ral effort of the soul to advance, for those who stupidly aceppt things as they are are no better than the animals. The curious, restless. Inquiring spirit is that which mak»s the intellectual man. When the little one reaches out for what he does not understand, every mother or every person who enters Into responsive relations with the child should be the teacher, and show respect to every question the child asks. For a child with ener gies and demands of its own is likely to be a fresh force in the world. Give only true answers, or as nearly true as possible, and do not think that any thing will do. I believe in fairy tales; they represent the fanci ful side of iife, and a little nonsense Is as good for a child as for older people. But let the tales be told as tales. What might be called troublesome questions can tw» divided Into three classes — those relating to nature, to morals and to God. In nature, the moon and sunlight are the earliest objects to Interest the child, and there, are for questions concerning these many picturesque answers handed down as legendary lore. I should nay that the sun was ilke ,1 ball of fire, and like a live coal, only hot ter and further away The moon is not hot, like the sun. but a reflection, and once a part of the earth, that was thrown off like mud from a flying ball. The earth moving Is like a smoothly rolling train of cars, by which the trees seem to move, when really it is ourselves. If you are rusty on these topics, study up a little on nebular hypothe sis. The scientific Is being written for the un scientific nowadays. To punish a child while In temper Is most disas trous: learn self-control, and have some of nature's constancy. Many of the remarkable religious or theological questions which are frequently heard "out of the mouths of babes" would not arise If they had not been put into thetr heads. They are not honest child questions. The notions of God as a giant and th» departing soul as travelling on Us wings or angel's wings, may have their picturesque side, but as they are Impossibilities they should be treated as fairy tales. Mr. Salter. in conclusion, gave an Illustration In a conversation between two boys. First Boy— S»o how the grass grows. Second Boy— Yes. but what makes it grow? First Boy— Why. God. of course. Second Boy— No. He doesn't; Its the fertilizer. "Learn." said Mr. Salter, as a last admonition. "how to meet and grow up with your children, and lead them to knowledge and a discriminating virtue." GATHERED HERE AND THERE. European goldfinches, which were flr?t Introduced into Central Park in MS, are now seen there in large number?. Starlings were brought over in 1830 to the Park, and have spread through the - part of the city. having been ??cn a? f;<r as Morris Heights.

The fir<=t woman In Chicago to be granted a license to operate an automobile i<= ftQss Juliet E. Bracken, who passed an examination before the city eiectrlcian and city engineer. If the plan of iho Chicago Teachers' Club meets with success, school children in that city may have a chance to study the process of farming and agri culture almost at their very doors. The plan of the club Is to raise grain and vegetables in the public parks, wher. the pupils can watch how seeds are planted and learn by practical demonstration the art of ploughing ar.d other mysteries of gardening. ..stress occasion! d by the war in South Africa has almost eclipsed tne suffering occasioned by the famine in India, wh oh Lord Curxon says is cf gr ter Intensity and wider range than any within living memory.

HOW THE T. S. 8. ORIGINATED. The Tribune Bunshlne Society has prown from small beginnings until It is now an HMsdattoa reaching out all over the t'ni'ej Btatea, and even beyond its boundaries. The purpose of 'he s-ociety is not new nor are its methods original. There have been for years similar a3so -iatl his in this and other countries doing precisely the saaas kind of laudable work, out the growth >f The Tribune Sunshine Society ha." surpassed all othvr*. chiefly because of the kindly and charitable deposition of the readers of this newspaper. Th- Tribune Sun shine Society practically taniiliHH '1 Itself. It began with a reference on this pagr- to "a hand Df invalids and their friends" in Novvm .-r. !«%. and these were spoken of as a "Shut-In Socie-y." The next stage was reached on December 3, lS9t>, when the following announcement appeared in The Trib une: The Tribune Bhut-In Club is becoming so large that the Only Woman's Page will hereafter devote special time and space to its interests. . . . Every person who sends in an idea for the Shut-In Club Immediately becomes an honorary member. . . . Every shut-in is Invited to send In her "Christmas ideas" for the benefit of ncr fellow sufferers. That was supplemented on January 13. 1897. by this notice: The Tribune Shut-in Society will hereafter be known by the rame of "The Tribune Sunshine So ciety" This change is made because of conflict with a shut-In society organized In 1884. the head quarters of which Is at No. 3T. We»t Thirtleth-st.. New-York City. . Chlnging the word Shut-In to Sunshine doe 9 not interfere with tne club motto or pin. A STEP FORWARD. On February 22. 1900. the continued development ot the society was noted n these words: The great success of the Tribune Sunshine Bociety has naturally outrun th.- modest arrangements made at the out.-et for Its conduct. It was founded in The Tribune office, under Tribune authority, by Tribune employes, as a part of their office work, and The Tribune freely used Its otamns In com mending the beneficent plan and the time of its employes in extending it. Thus started and fostered, it has spread In a way that brings at once gratification and concern. This Journal has stood steadily behind it. and has thus made Itself legally and morally responsible to many thousands of re-i lers for th.- apn^als It has pre sented to th.-m and the response* It has received. Multitudes of Sunshine packages and no Inconsider able sums of Sunshine money have been constantly , sent to this aAce. The regular counsel of The 'Tribune advised that tinder such circumstance a both tne contributors and this journal should be pro tected by a legal organization and a treasurer under Its supervision, otherwise it would be trifling with the legal and moral responsibilities it assumed. An incorporation was accordingly effected from among members in its ofilce with time and aptitude for the business details. OBJECT. The object of the soi U ty Is to distribute In homes a!l over the United States as much "sunshine" as possible, particular attention being paid to "shut ins" — people who are unable to any great extent to enjoy the freedom of outdoor lif--. Throus the Tribune Sunshine Society the members will receive the many advantages arising from unity, fellowship and co-cperation with those situatt-U under similar circumstai as themselves. Although th^ Tribune Sunshine Society la not a charitable organization,, frequent donations of money md regu contributions to the endowment fund have enabled it in sundry ways to make life brighter for others, b^'des paying postage and ex pr^ssage on the many packages sent ou: from the general office. MEMBERSHIP. Its active membership consists of the actual "shut Ins," the people who are desirous of bright ening a "shut in" life by some thought, word or deed, and those who live far from cities and who, th"UE"h not shut in, are shu] out frurn much com munication with their feilow beings. HOW TO JOIN THE T. S. S. The membership fee eonstets merely ir. ghrtng or doing something that will bring "sunshine" into the hearts and homes cf •>• iers> It may be c-nly an idea that can be utlll» to advantage in the sick room, or an exchange cf books, papers, pictures, etc.. or the giving or suggestions for fancy work that could be followed out by a "shut in," or the sending ■■: dowers or tne passing on of anything that may be beneficial or cheering to another. BRANCHES. Branches may be formed by ten or more persons in any community Interested In carrying forward the work of this society.
