A Jnnanosa Eel thinner;

We celebrated recent anniversary
day by an eel dinner at famous eel
house, writes correspondent of the
Gtobe- Den,9crat, from Toxic, Japan.
While we were taking off our shoes Mt
the doorway we could look through n
latticed partition into the kitchen and
see the cook, with murderous looking
knife in hand, making choice of his
living victims, that were looping them
selves into bow knots in tanks of fresh
water. If one wishes he is always privi-
legged to select his own eels from the
tanks ut eel houses, although the first
one that could be caught ought certainly
to answer quite as we'll.
When we reached the larger upper
room square silk customs in lieu of chairs
were ranged around three sides of the
room. The fourth side was left open
for the passing Of the pretty mattresses
to and fro and as stage for the per
formances Of the two doll-likc gei-shas,
who sat dcmurely in an outer room
awaiting our arrival.
The feast began with soup or stew
OF cells, the bottom of the bowl being
filled with n delicate white curd and
the flavor of the dish being as mild and
evasive rs ilaxseed tea. Broilcd cells,
skewered out fatty like section of
houndcr and laid on top of steaming
rice, next tempted us, and inspired by
fierce appctites we did skilful and heroic
work with the chop sticks. The plain,
broiled bits are called white cells. After
them came black cells, or ecls dipped in
soy before and during the broiling.
They acquire rich, brown tint and a
most piquant flavor by this treatment,
and the soy, or bean, with which the
Japanese always improve their fish and
birds, might be used in the same way in
other countries. japanese soy is the
foundation Of Worcestershire sauce and
is much better before it is charged with
all the spices and cayenne that convert
it into the English condiment. One
lette, lily bulbs, bamboo sprouts and
dishes of mysterious composition passed
in review before lis, but all the appetites
had been broken on the dishes of white
cells and black cells, and we toyed with
the later courses, simply taking chop
stick practice with the shreds and Jumps
OF which they were composed.

Care oftho Hands.

All sorts OF housekeeping gloves now
come for the hands, hamois gloves for
busting, etc., rubber globes for wet
work, and even cooking gloves there
is no need that women should spoil their
pretty fingers. To kctp the hands soft
and white or get them so, wash them
regularly in lukewarm water, dry them
with oatmeal and then rough towel
and occasionally add little diamond
paste, which can be procured at any
drug store. 1t is not well to plunge the
hands into either very cold or very hot
water. For stains caused by ink, paint
or similar substances one of the best
treatments is to put few drops of oil
of vitriol in water and wash the hands
without soap. For any lighter stains
yaseline is excellent - Chie0y, Times.

nearly twenty million acres of improved

Tomato Catsup-Tomato Sauce.

The basis of tomato catsup. or ketch.
up, Is the pulp of ripe tomatoes. Many
defer making catsup until late in the
season, when the cool nights cause the
fruit to ripen slowly, and it may be it is
gathered hurridly for fear of frost.
The late fruit does not yield so rich n
pulp rs that gathered in its prime. The
fruit should have all green portions cut
out and be stewed gently until thorough
ly cooked. The pup is then to he sepa-
rated from the skins by rubbing through
n wire sieve, SO fine rs to retain the seeds.
The liquor thus obtained is to be cvapo-
rated to thick pulp over slow fire,
and should be stirred to prevent scorch-
ing. The degree of evaporation will de-
pend upon how thick it is desired to
have the catsup. We prefer to make it
so that it will just pour freely from the
bottle. We observe no regular rule in
flavoring. Use sufficient salt. Season
with cloves, alspice and mace, bruised
aud tied in u cloth and boiled in the
pulp; add a small quantity of powdered
cayenne. Some add the spices ground
fine directly 10 the pnlp a Glove of
garlic, bruised and tied in cloth. to bo

to greater thickness than is needed
and then thin with vinegar. An excel
lent and useful tomato sauce may be
made by preparing the pulp, bat adding
no spices, and putting it in small bottles
while hot, corking securely and scaling.
If desired the sauce may be saltcd before
bottling, but this is not essential. To
add to soups, stews, sauces and made
dishes a sauce thus prepared is an excel
lent substitute for the fresh fu.t 1t

Who Did It2

A Young Child Destroyed by Drowning
Who Did It9
The body OF n fully developed white
female child, apparently about week old,
was found in a cistern ut the corner Of
Ninth and Carolina streets yesterday morn
ing about IL o'clock. The discovery was
made by little boy who was throwing
bricks into tho cistcrn, when his attention
was attracted by what'he supposed TO he q
human form. Closer observation confirmed
his suspicion, and he at once notified his
parents, who in turn summoned Squire
Fleming. Tho magistrate arrived ON the
scene few minutes later, and, after con-
siderable trouble, empaneled n jury and
proceeded TO hold an inquest. Several
witnesses were examined but nothing do
velopcd that would throw any light upon
the identity Of the baby's parents.
From appearances the body had lain in
the cistern Tor four or five days. The lot
upon which the cistern Is situated Is
vacant, and owned by the Memphis. Bir-
mingham * Atlantic Railroad company.
The suppostion is that the child was VI
illegiiimatc birth, and was drowned by
the desperate mother In order 10 hide her
shame. The jury returned a verdict IN
accordance with the facts rs stated above.
The authorities are making strong efforts
to bring the authors oi the dark deed to
Justice.

THE CROWD WAS TOUGH.
How Sam Marks Got Mixed Up at tho
Grooers' Union Picnic.

otVcofo ohieh a Attie.
Sam Marks, whose mishap at the
Grocers' union picnic Thursday night, was
alluded to in THE APPEAL yesterday,
was tried in the police court. 1t appeared
from tho evidence that Marks presided
over the bar at the picnic and got into n
row with crowd OF hoodlums who
attended. One OF the party quarreled
about settling for drinks, and Marks
claimed that he struck him TO prevent
him from hitting his father. Patrolmen
Logan add Faver arrested Marks and put
him ON street car. About fifteen ortwenty
OF the young mans companions attempted
TO take the prisoner from tho policemen,
and on failing, bombared the car with a
volley OF rocks, bricks and empty pop
bottles and other missiles. &. Barnes, q
slender young man with sallow look, was
the only member Of the party captured.
The combined efforts OF the two policemen,
several deputy sherilIs and the presence OF
Judge Duljose were all that prevented a
serious riot. After listening TO tho testi-
mony the court fined Barnes $50, and
ordered Mr.. Marks' case continued, with
