At The SIGN OF The SKULL

A strange old tavern have I seen.
n walls are thick. this garden green =
Tis damp and foul, yet through the door
Do rich men come az well as poor.
They come by night, and they come by day.
And never y guest is turned away.
The landlord. an unwholesome fellow,
Has q complexion white and yellow.
And though he looks exceedingly thin
Does nothing else but grin and grin
AZ all his guests, who, after awhile.
Begin to initiate his smile.
The guests are a fearful sight TO see,
Though som are people of high degree.
For no one asks when q carriage arrives
A decent account of the inmates lives,
But holy virgins and men OF sin
Sleep cheek by jowl in this careless inn.
And beautiful youths in their strength and
pride
Have taken beds by a leper's side,
But all sleep well, and it never was said
That any kind Of complaint was made.
For all the people who pass that way
Appear to intend a heightened stay.
The house has a singular bill Of fare
Nothing dainty, nothing rare,
Bat only one dish, and that dish meat,
Which never a guest was known to eat.
Night and day the meal goes ON,
And the guests themselves are fed uponl
These merry guests are all of them bound
To a land far of. but / never found
That any one knew when he should start
Or wished from this pleasant house to part.
o strange old tavern, with garden greenl
In every town its walls are seen.
Now the question has often been asked OF me,
In it really as bad as Ii seems to be?

New Japan.

On so simple a matter as the abandon.
ment by the Japanese of the national
dress, we do not take the slightest trou.
BILE to inquire whether what has bean
done-which after all is only very par
tial adoption of Western drcss-was not
absolutely necessary One point alone
is sufficient to establish the necessity and
to prevent any relapse. The national
dress is suited only to the national lite,
to sitting on the mats; it is incomplete
without the pipe, the cupof tea, and the
fre-box; it is quite unsuited to the busy
life of routine in an office 1t is dress
in which to be delightfully."- lazy, in
which to enjoy the little pleasures of
life; it is impossible to sit at table in
it and copy dispatches. With the intro
duction of office hours and during office
hours, the national dress became impos-
sible; after the days work is done 1t Is
resumed. But this in itself produces .
very serious difficulty.
Cloth is dear and pay is small, and IN
ferior cloth, such as the West loves TO
EXPORT eastward, often wants renewing.
The CLOVER DIVISION clerks often ind
themselves in serious financial straits
owing to the purchase of suit OF
European clothes; indeed it is not lnva n.
iably accompanied by all the necessary
parts By and by they will perhaps ge'
cheaper, and perhaps also get better
made, and then new era Will dawn

ABOUT BLUsHING,- In recent work
work on criminology the learned investi-
gator says that out of ninety-eight young
men criminals, "A per cent. did not blush
when examined. OF 1922 female crimi
nails, 81 per cent. did not blush. If our
novels are to keep up with science they
must change their indicia of emotion.
It must be the men who blush and the
other sex whose sensitiveness must not be
regular feature. Leander bushes as he
declares himself, or is suddenly brought
up against sentimental outcrop. But
Hero takes it calmly. The scientist also
notices that women blush about the ears
rather than on the cheek. This, also,
requires a change in the novels. It is a
pointer, too, for the ladies' man who is
watching for signs that he is making an
impression. If he fastens his gaze upon
the left ear he may see so hething that
will tell him he may consider himself
happy.
BEST BUILDING SToNE.-One of the
primary facts in the selection of stone for
building purposes, as now generally ad-
mitted by architects, rests on the simple
principle which obtains in applying arti-
fetal cement, such as glue, in the thin
nest film, in order to secure the greatest
binding force-that is, according to a
writer in the Operative Builder, the
thinner the films of the natural cement
and the closer the grains of the FREEDOM
inant materials, the stronger and more
durable the stone. Further, experience
has generally shown that crystalline
structure resists atmospheric attack bet
ter than an anonymous one, the same
fact being generally true with the sedi-
mentary rock, crystalline limestone or
good marble resisting erosion better than
earthly limestone. A stone that is COM
pactly and finely granular will exfoliate
more easily by freezing and thawing than
one that is cross grained; a stone that is
laminar in structure absorbs moisture un-
equally, and will be seriously affected by
unequal expansion and contraction, es-
pecially by freezing and by thawing,
and will gradually separate into sheets;
stone that has granular structure will
crumble sooner by frost than by chemical
agents.

RELIABLE RECIPES.

ROAST Goose. SINCE, draw and truss
nicely a fat goose not over four months

METHODS OF COOKING SuAD.-The
cooking of shad is not a difficult mat
ter, but it is something that is often done
so carelessly that the dish is unsatisfac-
tory. Like all fish, the shad must be
fresh from the water. The much Wanted
superiority of the Hudson River shad i,
undoubtedly due to the fact that it is
much fresher than those from distance.
The very best way to cook shad is to
broil it, though, provided the fish is
perfectly fresh from the water, it makes
very little difference whether it is broiled,
baked or panked. As soon as the fish is
brought in and scaled as it should be,
remove the backbone. This is not diff
icult thing to do if you have
keen edged boning knife.
fingers, beginning the Work at the head,
and keep the knife near the bone. All
the fine spines can be removed with the
spinal column and comparatively few
bones will remain in the fish. Do not,
however, get the fish into bad shape in
taking out the bones, for this can be
easily avoided Season the fish CT the
inside and outside with salt and pepper,
rub it with tablespoonful of oil and
squeeze over it few drops of lemon.
juice. It may now be broiled over a
slow fire from twelve to fifteen minutes
on the flesh side and minute on the
skin side. Broil the roe with it.
A very nice way to cook shad is to
bake it. Prepare it as for broiling.
Chop couple of shallots Or two small
onions, and put them over the fish, which
should be we'll buttered. Pour half
wineglass of white wine over it and
place it in the bottom of dripping pan
in moderately hot oven. Let it cook
till it is thoroughly done, which will
take about half an hour. 1t should be
covered with buttered paper if it shows
any tendency to to brown too much.
Make vert-pre sauce to serve with is as
follows Melt tablespoonful of butter
in a saucepan and stir in tablespoonful
and a half of -four Stir this we'll, but
do not let it brown Then add slowly
cup of rich white stock. Break the
yolks of two eggs in bowl and pour
the boiling hot stock over them, beating
all the time. Drain the sauce through a
Scotch cup Or pointed French strainer.
Add tablespoonful of lemon juice, q
teaspoonful of butter and saltspoontul
of spinach green. Set the sauce in
basin of hot water and stir for about
three minutes. Then add teaspoonful
of minced chervil Pour half the sauce
over the shad and serve the rest in o

The inimitable flavor for which the
s'Roast Beef of Old England" was once
famous is said to be rapidly deteriorating,
and probably no one of the present geuer-
alton has any real conception of what
the toothsome qualities of English beef
formerly were. What is known of
English cattle now is that they are arti-
fcially reared, artificially fattened, and
killed in state of immaturity, the whole
object of the breeders being to rush the
animals through their short span of ex-
istence as quickly as possible in order to
secure the diminishing profits which
accrue from their sale. The whole sub
ject of cattle-feeding has just been
brought into notice by new device for
smearing the beasts with oil. The firm
which is exploiting the process points
out that it is not intended to fatten cattle
by absorption through the skin, but to
prevent the loss OF heat, and thus econo-
mize food.

A TALE comes from Russia. which

A TALE comes from Russia, which
sounds like romance of middle age
barbarism. General Count Scheremetieff
of the Cars body guard, died suddenly
the other day, and it is given out that
ne was murdered by Nihilists. His
death, it is said, was decided some time
ago by the Nihilists' executive commit
tee, and one of its emissaries managed to
substitute pair of poisoned gloves for
the ones that the general was wearing
and had laid down for a moment. Not
observing the change, the general nut
on the poisoned gloves, and death
followed shortly.
THERE was man in Boston few

He bored a hole through the wall, tapped

most of the suicides of his countrymen,

University, Baltimore, Nd, few days
since. 81 recall reading prediction"
he continued, 'tthat between the years
1885 and 1895 such an epidemic, if you

Hotel "Dead Losses.''

"The small dead losses in hotel foot
up very heavily at the end of the year,

land among the principal items are en-
velopes and paper. There are two hotels
in Washington that use over 100000
sheets of paper and 125, 900 envelopes a
year, and the paper is of the best quality.
Much of it is used by outsiders. We
don't mind giving paper to gentleman
in fact, it is kept in abundance in our
writing room-but we draw the line at
the beat and hotel loafer. So when he
asks for stationery we hand him single
sheet and an envelope, look him squarely
in the eye and ask in our most polite
and icy tones, Anything else, sir ?
This fetches some of 'em even when their
gall is as thick as molasses.
"Then the soap bill is enormous, new
cake to every guest. The annual cost OF
so trif1ing an article as toothpicks would

pens and penhelders count at the end OF
the year. These are articles handed over

the circulation of the stationery may be
considered of value. The small losses In
