ITALIAN SPAGHETTI AND LAMB.

The spaghetti, after having been boiled
only until tender in plenty of salted boil
ing water, is to be drained from the
boiling water and thrown into the cold,
to remain until the sauces are ready
i.e., the tomato, white an Bechamel OF
brown sauces, only little of each being
used, sufficient to moisten the spaghetti;
not enough to make it sloppy; stir in
enough grated dry cheese to season it.
1t may then be kept hot by setting the
saucepan containing it in pan of hot
water until needed for the table.
To cook the lamb first wipe the uncut
meat carefully with wet cloth, freeing
it from bits of bone, sawdust, ETC., put
it over the fire in enough boiling water
to cover it, with a little salt, small reu
pepper pod, three whole cloves, bay.
leaf, any bits of celery, parsley and sweet
Eerbs except sage available aud boil the
l.mb very slowly until it is tender enough
to allow the bones to be pulled out.
Strain the broth and use it to make
enough sauce to cover the lamb, thickcn-
ing it with the white roux and seasoning
it palatably with salt aud white pcpucr;
the meat can be kept hot in the sauce by
placing the saucepan containing in a pan
of hot water.- Chicago MUs.

sound came beyond doubt, and in three
minutes after he first heard the real dip

Five men we're left to guard the boats,
and with the others, all the arms they
had, and all that had been taken from
the British. the Americans started across
the sandy beach toward the wood in
which the British infantry lay, waiting
and wondering why their companions did
not return.
The Americans each had rife, some
one, and some more pistols. twenty

moments they returned, saying the British
were coming.

it is time that they had grown uneasy"
He hastily formed his men behind Q
natural barrier of stone, and told them
10 wait his orders to fire.
In a rev moments there could be heard
the steady regular tread OF men who had
been drilled to march. They came slowly
forward, and Captain Alton discovered
that they had not even taken the precau-
lion to throw out an advanced guard.
A long column of men massed in body
could be seen in the darkness. Very
dimly were they outlined. Nearer and
nearer they came, until only q few feet
lay between them and the concealed
Americans. Already the deadly rifles
we're aimed at the British, and they, un.
conscious of danger, still advancing.
Suddenly sharp, clear voice rang out OF
the air:
4Fire!"

Thus it came to be believed by all
that the big rat was an actual fact. No
one could be found, however, who had
met with the tyn-schu until a hunter
from the far north was discovered who
SAID he had seen one, and here is his
story:
ii am fisherman, and some years age
I travelled in Northern China and Siberia,
following up the rivers to the northern
ocean. One winter the cold had been
more severe than usual and we started
down the Lena before the ice had gone.
It was still very cold, but VT kept on,
hoping to secure many fish to dry and
carry into the interior later on.
Zone day we we're passing a high
cliff that was partly undermined by a
turn in the river, when my comrade
asked me if had ever seen n tyn-schu. 1
replied no. WELL said he, there is
one coming now
~ looked up, and there, about forty
feet from the beach, was big black
mass of something. I could see two
long teeth, long tail and its shaggy fur,
and it was evidently struggling to get
out, as the ice cliff was cracked.
".When he sees the sunlight my
comrade said, ''it will kill him, and
when we come back we shall find him
dead And this was true, for several
months later when We went back there
Law the monster on the beach, dead. 1t
had crawlcd out of its hole and died in
the sunlight, and was mostly eaten up
by bears and wolves. We cut of the big
teeth. which were as much as two men
could lift, and took them up the river,
where sold one, which I heard was sent
to the Emperor"
Such was the Chinaman's story ant
thst he believed that the rat was really
living creature there can be no doubt;
and the belief is supported by the find
ing in China of gigantic bones, beneath
the surface, of these rats that have acci-
dentally been caught by rays of sunlight.
The origin OF this superstition is veri-
table giant of the ice; q huge elephant
which existed thousands of years ago in
nearly all countries, and especially about
Northern Europe and Siberia.
In the long ago OF geological ages the
climate of the far north was much milder
than at present, and the Siberian islands
in the Arctic Ocean were covered with
trees and were the home of vast herds Of
monster elephants. When the first white
men visited this desolatc region theV
found the shore in some instances literally
covered with the tusks, everywhere pro
truding from the sand, partly hidden :
