Patrolman Michael Roche Of tho Oak street
station. who has been for months an ire
sponsible drunkard. according to the report OF
tho Board OF Police Surgeons. although for .

SPANISH DISHES.
How to Use OIL In Cooking without It's
Disagrceable Effects.

How to Use Oil In Cooking without It's
DisagrceabIe Effects.
Though, as q rule, Spaniards of the
better class are not early risers, they be-
gin the day with the desayuno, as they
call the meal. This usually consists of a
large cup of milk and coffee, or small
cup of thick chocolate, with kind OF
cake called ensaimada. The chocolate
is made with milk, never with water, ex-
cept in the poorest families. Between /
and 2 p. m. old fashioned Spanish folks
have their dinner. The table is very
simply laid with q clean cloth and sew
eral plates of sweets and fruits; flowers
seldom appear; saltcellar, pepperbox and
mustardpot never A spoon, fork and
knife Jumped together, tumbler for
water and small wineglass are set at
each place.
A Spaniard never commits the heresy
of mixing wine and water; he says it is
spelling two good things. A goodly
sized loaf of bread TANKS each plate.
The soup tureen is first handed round,
and, although its contents are a trifie
greasy, nothing can be more nourishing.
1t is compounded of all the good things
that go to make up the classical cocido
or puchero. The substantial portion
with which the soup is made is placed
in three separate dishes and served up
Immediately afterward. On one dish
figure large, thick slices of boiled beef
and pieces of fowl with slices of bacon;
on another appear the garbanzos, or
chick peas, and on the third are the veg.
etables with slices of choriZo, or sausage.
The cocido is usually eaten as it is,
though in some houses tomato sauce is
added. The puchero, or cocido, takes
its name from the pewter pot in which
it is slowly boiled. In every well regu-
lated home throughout Spain the cocido
is made once a day, and right good
thing it is, as at any hour you may
chance to need cup of broth you can
be supplied with it. The next dish is
the frito. Frito means fry, and the dish
usually consists of fried brains, fried
sweetbread, croquettes of fowl, etc.
In no country are things fried better
than in Spain, because good olive oil is
used to fry them in, and oil makes those
delicacies more crispy. That Spanish
oil may be turned to good account for
anything in cooking will no doubt cause
unbounded surprise. There is no deny
ing the fact, however. Food i'll prepared
with oil is no doubt trying case in SO
far as the palate and nostrils are con-
cerned, but good Spanish cook knows
well how to disguise the taste of the oil
in many ways.
The simplest and perhaps the best ad.
vice is to let the oil come to boiling
point and to throw in piece of bread,
which is taken out as soon as it becomes
brown and thrown away. This takes of
any bad taste the oil may have. The
pan is then carried to an open window
and the steam blown away, process
which as effectually clears it of any un.
savory smell, Boston TRANSCRIPT.

DECORATE THE PIANO.

in Small Rooms 1t Is Now Made Thing
of beauty and an Artistic JOY.
The magic skill Of modern decorators
has vanquished the formidable aggres-
siveness even Of the parlor piano. For
merly pianos were most obstinately,
hopelessly angular objects in pretty
parlor, positively refusing to lend them
selves to any scheme of decoration. But
even a piano has possibilities, and since
these possibilities have been discovered
and realized the piano is the keynote OF
the whole decorative scheme. OF course
in all city parlors an upright piano is
used, and instead Of being set back
against the wall like a child in disgrace,
it is now turned out into the room al
most at right angles, which is decidedly
more agreeable to the performer. The
back Of the instrument Is then draped
with some beautiful material, hanging
like curtain to the floor
Sometimes a plain piece of Roman
sheeting is used, silken damask or
Pompadour velvet, with the main color
in harmony with the room. Some
ladies introduce n small picture or bit Of
embroidery in one upper corner, around
which the drapery is hung gracefully, or
clever needlewomen embroider the
whole drapery in quaint, odd designs
A scarf of silk harmonizing with the
hanging at the back falls over the top Of
the piano, and there are candelabra or
some light pieces Of hric-a-brac that will
not rattle when the instrument is in use.
Such are the possibilities of piano az
an object of decorative art, but wonder
full indeed are its possibilities In another
direction
Placed near a bay window, it shuts In
the contest lovers nest Imaginable
Soft cushioned window seats that have
room for just two-intuitive seats they
might be called-are hidden thus away
completely from the cold, cruel world.
Smokers retreats with little touches
may be hidden in the shadow Of such .
piano when rich hangings fall from a
corner window. Or delightful tea cor
ner is made with a screen for doorway,
and soft divans and dim lights inside.
Miss Georgia Cayvan has such tea cor
ner in her artistic little house in Harlem.
The back of the piano is hung with q
soft shade of yellow, brocaded with dull
green leaves and flowers. Against this
the little tea table is placed, with its
dainty belongings, and a low chair be-
side it where the hostess presides
A yellow cushioned divan extends en-
tirely around this corner. lighted by the
soft radiance of a lamp with pale green
shade, and piled high with a bakers
dozen of pillows-large and small and
medium-with bright silken covers

Nearly Everybody Is Superstitious.

"The amount of mental suffering igno
rant people undergo from the fear of i'll
omens being fulfilled is inconceivable to
persons Of well balanced minds" said q
well known physician.
This doctor spent two years at one of
the charity hospitals on Wards Island,
and while there had an excellent oppor-
tunity for observing many peculiarities
and various phases of humanity among
the outcasts of a great city. Continu-
ing after short reverie the doctor said:
"Of course superstitions have existed
and will exist as long as there remains a
belief in the mysteries of future life. II
is seldom admitted by persons of intelli-
gence that they are, to greater or less
degree, at all subject to the uneasy feel
ing an uncanny event will produce. But
it is really an exceptional thing to find q
person who has no superstitions what
ever. Generally the presentiments are
so unimportant that they are but sell
dom alluded to by the one experiencing
them, and are soon forgotten. But that
they do exist in nearly every mind is
undoubtedly true. Chicago News.

Uncivil Railway Porters.

All English railway companies are
very particular about civility being
shown to the public, with perhaps one
exception, known to most railway men,;
but even that company has now i'm
proved i'll this respect, as we'll as in many
others. A baldheaded director of this
company was travelling with some stran-
gers, and at one of the stations one Of
them asked the name Of the place. a
porter pointed to the name board, re-
marking, "Can't you read?' The direc-
tor was somewhat vexed, but said moth
ing. At the next station another Of the
passengers asked if they changed there
for A. "Sit still, and don't bother;
this amt junction" the porter replied
The director, who was much surprised
at the incivility of the porters, told the
strangers who he was, and expressed re-
greet that they had been so spoken to. Il
will see, however" he said. IF they will
speak in the same way to me-" AT the
next station he put his head out of the
window, but could get no ones attention
till the train was moving off, when o
porter came up and shouted to him,
keep your bald head in, old buffer or
you'll catch cold" He fumed with rage,
but the strangers seemed to enjoy his
defeat.
There was trouble at those three sta
tons the next day, and three faces were
seen no more on those platforms. Cham
