"To prepare the terrapin, place it on its
back and remove the bottom shell. This
exposes the meat of the terrapin to view,
In the center Of the mass will be observed
a small palplish looking substance i'm
bedded in the liver Carefully remove this
substance with a knife being careful not
to cut or break it in the operation; it is
the gall, and is intensely bitter and would
spoil the dish. Pick the meat from the
bones, cut up the entrails and liver with
the other meat, place all in chahng dish
as the picking process proceeds, and
when everything thus 'comeatable' about
the terrapin has been secured place your
chatting over the spirit lamp. Before light
ing pour a cup of hot water into the meat
to prevent it sticking to the dish, involv-
ing if this precaution be not observed,
the almost certain burning of the meat.
AS soon as the fires are lighted put into
your dish a print of butter, cutting
the butter into bits as you
add it; with the butter a plenty of
black pepper and salt. Let the mass
gently simmer until the first amount of
butter has melted and permeated it
thoroughly; stir in half as much more
butter-it will be difficult to get too much
butter-taking care to keep the dish COW
cred, save when stirring. No other con-
dimentS are used in the dressing of the
terrapin.
when the terrapin is served let each
guest add sherry, not Madeira, to his
plate as may suit his liking The wine,
however, in some measure is somewhat
important Never put the wine in the
chatting dish, If terrapin gravy is desired,
and economy is a desideratum in the
quantity, add cream, not milk, until the
juices of the meat become thickened by
the addition This last idea is an inno-
walton upon the old-time Maryland ter
rapin"
Mr.. Gibson is competent to speak
for the renowned terrapin of Mary
land and his recipe is really worth cut
ting out and FASTING up over the cooks
table.
The author has by no means concluded
his work, it is understood. When it is
finished it will be very valuable to those
who have suddenly attained wealth with
out having had the advantages of train
ing in dinners. But one of the greatest
services it will perform will be to demon
strate to the country that even if con-
gressmen are not always so prompt as
they might be in law making and break
ing, they at least are skilled in quite as
high an art, and are blessed with culinary
genius.

To Gill Cut Worms.

A writer thinks the most practical
method is to kill the worms before the
crops are planted by poisoning them.
Take punches OF green clover or cabbage
leaves and them in London purple or
Paris green or dust the powder on dry
Place these on the ground and the young
cut worms will eat this poison and thus
the land will be rid of them before the
crop is planted. OF course in this method
care must be taken to keep chickens and
stock away from the poisoned leaves
Another way which is very effectual is TO
dig out the worms where plants have
been eaten They are easily found and if
the ground is gone over faithfully and all
the worms killed. it will prevent further
damage Still another method practiced
by some gard eners is to place boards on
the ground infested the worms viii con-
Fregate under the boards and can thus be
easily collected and killed in the early
morning

Some Dainty Reeipes-Col. Fellows
Tells How TO Prepare "Tarrytown
Stew''-Amos J. Cummings Favor
ite-Senator Gibson Is the Inventor
of 'Terrapin a la Gibson" and Tells
How the Dish Should Be Made.
From the New York Advertiser
Washington, Sept. l6 To be a CON
gresham or senator requires very little
skill and to be a famous one requires
chiefy-luck. About all congressman
and senators cherish faint ambitions of
fame when they scale the capitol Most
Of them expect TO attain it on the floors of
the great halls situated at the north and
south ends respectively. 1t is about to
transpire that q few of them, a very Sc
lect and precious few, will attain unex-
pected fame, but it viii be as attaches
and patrons Of 10 less an institution than
the congressional restaurants. The fact
of it is Thomas j. Murrey, the proprietor
of the restaurant in the House of Repre-
sentatives, who is already a famous au-
thor on all subjects pertaining TO the art of
eating, and known to all New Workers, is
at present working on an encyclopaedia
in short, on a culinary dictionary 1t
is intended to guide unfortunate Ameri-
cans whose French is not even of the
menu grade, though the intricacies of "a
la brochette, a Ia financiere, Cigot de
moutOn la Durand" and similar horrify-
ing little details. Another gratifying
feature is that Mr. MurPey has shown
that culinary genius exists where it has
least been eXpected-right in the Ameri-
can Congress. In fact. Mr. Murray has
rescued from the Oblivion Of simple
regulations as congressman a num-
Der of great men, and has
given to the world some recipes
culled from congressional inueHects. Mr..
Murrey is a New Yorker, and he has dis
covered right in the precincts of Tam
many very simple and homely sort of
recipe that any housewife might exem-
pity. Col John X. Fellows is credited
with the paternity of something known
as "Iarrytown stew OF course, his
toric associations are connected with ter
rapin. 1t will now, however, have new
claim to fame. Col. Fellows is a Jolly lit
tie member of congress from New York,
and his constituents will, no doubt, at
once proceed to test the cOl5lel's recipe.
1t reads as follows
COL. FELLOWS RECIPE.
"Tarrytown Stew A stew of meat
with potatoes, served TO mechanics who
feed in squads the first squad invariably
eat all the meat, leaving the potatoes for
the second squad who, finding the meat
