A Simple Method of CookIng TerrapIn.

The terrapin cooking which enabled
Baltimore to win the contest over Phila-
delphia at Meadowbrook, Pa, was in a
plain and simple style, with no dressing
or ingredients which would detract from
the delicate and dainty flavor of the ter
Irapin. The cooking was done under the
supervision of Mr.. Frank H. Hambleton,
who was selected by the Baltimoreans to
uphold the fame of this city in preparing
tho chief epicurean delight of Maryland.
Mr.. Hambleton is a terrapin expert, and,
rs one of the party which went to Phila-
delphia put it, he knows terrapin
through and through.
For several months Mr.. Hambleton
had been preparing for the contest. He
secured the market for the best terra
pins, and wherever he found one that
suited him he bought it. When the time
of the match arrived, he had collected
the finest lot of terrapins which the Ches-
apeake bay can produce. To this selec-
ton much of the success of Baltimore
over Philadelphia was attributed.
The terrapins were first boiled until
the skin on the claws was sufficiently
soft to run off at the slightest touch.
They were then taken out and the shells
removed. The terrapins were opened,
and every particle of entrails and lungs
was thrown away. The meat was placed
In chatting dish, and butter, pepper and
salt were added, the quantity of each
depending upon the quantity of meat.
The contents of the dish were allowed to
simmer until the essence and butter
reached the consistency Of light gravy.
The dish was served while hot If de-
sired, little wine could be added before
eating, but Mr.. Hambleton says it should
not be mixed with the terrapin while
cooking. Sun.

The curious places in which women
conceal their valuables was never better
illustrated than by story which came
10 light yesterday.
A ragpicker found an ordinary tin box
in an ash barrel in front of 327 Poplar
street and was forthwith offered 81 for
1t by the driver of an ash cart. The
offer was accepted, and when the driver
opened the box after he got home he
found in it a lot of jewelry and S6SS. 10
in money. A woman living in the Pop
lar street house wanted to 20 out on
Monday, and no one being at home put
her box of valuables in the barrel,
throwing a scuttle of ashes in afterward.
Some one returning took the barrel and
placed it on the sidewalk, where subse-
quently more ashes were thrown in.
The woman returning noticed the bar
rel on the pavement, but the fact of the
placing of the box had entirely slipped
her memory until the collection of the
ashes had been made, when she became
well nigh frantic and started out on a
hunt. She learned that the ragpicker
had been seen in the neighborhood, and
after considerable difficulty located him,
only to find that he had sold the box.
With the aid of Superintendent Delaney
she was enabled to find the driver. He
handed her the box and received $780,

Food of the screeeh Owl.

The little screech owl, well known in
most parts of the country, is indefatigable
In its work of destroying mice and insects.
1t may often be seen at dusk lowering
about barns and outbuildings, watching
for mice or skimming along the fields and
along hedgerows in search of grasshoppers,
crickets and beetles. Many birds Of this
species have taken up a residence in the
cities, having learned to feed upon that
most destructive nuisance, the English
sparrow. In winter rural residents often
notice the tracks Of mice, which form net
works in the snow, crossing and recrossing,
passing in and out of walls and stacks,
tending to show how active these small
rodents are when most Of the world sleeps
Occasionally such a rack stops abruptly,
and while the observer is trying to read
more of the history written in the snow
his eyes catch the faint impression of pair
of wing tips near where the trail ends, and
instantly he is made aware that a tragedy
has been enacted. ;creech owls also feed
on chipmunks, shrCWs, moles and occasion
ly bats. During warm spells in winter they
forage extensively and store up in their
homes quantities of food as a provision
against inclement weather-Boston Tran
script.

Wonderful Nrinnte Shells.

There is a sand bank at Connemara, on
the west coast Of Ireland, that is the Mecca
of every curiosity seeker who is fortunate
enough to know of its existence. As gen
eral thing sand banks are not great attrac-
ton, but in this particular case the at
tractive power is not in the sand itself, but
in the millions Of extinct miniature shells
which are almost as numerous as the grains
of sand with which they are intermingled
The largest Of these little wonders is
smaller than the smallest pinhead, and
some Of them so minute that they can easily
be put through the eye of a common sew
ing needle, yet each is as perfect as the
pearly nautilus, the spider shell, the sea
urchin or any other marine oddity.
They are OF all shapes and forms imagi-
nable. One will have the perfect outlines of
a miniature basket, another will look like a
fairy's tobacco box, while a third needs no
effort of the imagination to give it the form
of bottle. The Gashshells of Ceylon and
Australia are the only living representa-
tives of these genealogical wonders Nat
uralists who have examined the Ceylonese
fashshells say that each is filled with a
tiny bit of jellylike substance, which of
course is the animal itself, but which is so
infnitesimal that no distinction can be OBJ
served between head and heart, mouth and
stomach.-St. Louis Republic.

Instinctiye Eenr In Birds.

The instructive fear of death manifested
by birds is shown by the following: A ca
nary died, was buried, the nesting estab-
lishment broken up, the surviving mate re-
moved to new cage, and the old cage thor
oughly cleaned and put aside till the fol
lowing spring. Never, however, could any
bird afterward endure being placed in that
cage They fought and struggled to get
out, and if all IN vain their efforts they
moped, budding close together, thorough
ly unhappy, refusing to be comforted by
any amount of sunshine, companionship oil
dainty food The experiment was tried
with foreign birds, that had not been in the
house when the death occurred and could
not therefore have known of the event by
observation. But the result was always
the same. For the future that cage was
haunted.-Popular Science Monthly.

A certain critic, evidently not num-
bered among the faithful, has been 10
the Burne-Jones exhibition at the New
gallery and is sorely troubled to account
for the likeness between Burne-Jones'
women and those of Rossetti. The ex-
PLANTATION is y-.y simple. In their early
days they both painted from the same
model. The long, oval faces, with the
sweeping curve of the cheek, the full
bowed mouth, the large, languorous
eyes and the thick Tuscan hair, which
CROP up eternally in the canvas of both
artists, were painted from Elizabeth
Eleanor Siddall. afterward Mrs. Ros-
setti. She was the daughter of Shelf
field tradesman and came to London as
q milliner's assistant.
She was discovered by another pre-
Raphaelite brother, Walter Deverell,
from whom Rossetti stole her. Under
his tuition she became a clever artist
herself, and Rossetti wrote of her that
''her fecundity of invention and facility
are quite wonderful; much greater than
mine" Her portrait appears in nearly
every picture Of his, but / am told by
one who saw her before her marriage
that ''Fazio's Mistress" which was al
the Guild hall in the spring, is the truest
to nature, though Rossetti preferred the
"Rosa Triplex," in which she is shown
once full faced and twice in profile

General Grants Well Meant Politeness.

The story is told of General Grant
that while engaged in an animated ar
gument with Mrs. John A. Logan onone
occasion he opened his cigar case and
offered her a cigar and took one himself.
He lit his own and proceeded with the
discussion. Mrs. Logan quietly accepted
one, too, but secreted it without attract
ing attention. She now preserves that
cigar as a souvenir. -Springfeld Repub-

Estimated Attendance at the Worlds Fair.

Estimated Attendance at the Worlds Fair.
The average daily attendance at the
centennial was CO, 233; the largest at
tendance was pa, $40, the smallest IL, 100.
The daily average at Paris was 10000,
the largest single days admissions 400
900. While the circumstances and con-
ditions surrounding the Columbian ex-
position differ materially from those of
either the centennial or Paris exhibition
the divergence is not enough to effect a
very clear conclusion from the figures
given.
The unavoidable inference drawn from
every international fair is this: The at
tendance is very largely drawn from the
population within limited radius from
the site of the exposition. Thus, for in
stance, the statistics of the Paris exhibit
ton show that ON days when the attend
ance averaged 250, 900 at least 100, 900
came from Paris and its environs. Allow
ing for the difference in national habits
which makes the American regard trip
from San Francisco to Chicago with
greater readiness than the Frenchman
does a journey to Berlin; allowing also
for the unlimited stimulus to travel
given by the excursion system planned
by the railroads Of this country for the
coming event, taking every possible fac
tor into account, it seems hardly posi-
BILE than more than an average of 200,-
900 nonresidents will be in Chicago dur
ing the exposition.-D Director General
Davis in North American Reviw.

Crest attitudes furnish a gymnasium

The perple1ing question which is every
day asked by people who desire to 60 to
Chicago to attend the Worlds fair is,
"Where are we going to stay when we get
theres" This is easily answered, and if
you will go to the ticket agent of the
Santa Fe, Mr.. w. M. Smith, he will tell
you.
Arrangements have been made for the
distribution by the Santa Fe company of
pamphlet entitled "Homes for Visitors
to the Worlds Fair" This is reliable
pamphlet containing the lanes and ad-
dresses of about 5000 families who will
furnish accommodations to visitors from
May to October 81, 1898. The pamphlet
also contains sectional maps which will
enable the intending visitor to select any
quarter of the city that he would prefer.
Correspondence can then be carried on
and definite arrangements made 80 that
when visitors arrive in Chicago they can
proceed at once to their quarters.
