ART OF FRYING FISH.
The Jewish Method Is Probably the
Best After All.

The art Of frying fish in olive oil was
impaired to western nations by the
Jews. They found in the Italians and
French receptive pupils; but in the Eng
ltsh they encountered an obstinate ale
glance to lard, which has never wav-
cred in favor of any other medium. AS
our culinary traditions are derived
largely from the English. lard or the
fat Of salt pork for frying is almost
universally used in the United States.
The superior merit of oil in this form
of cooking is found in its limpidity and
freedom from foreign matters. More
over, the results obtained are more GER
tain, and yet even American women.
who live near waters, salt or fresh,
where fish abound, invariably employ
salt pork in frying. None can excel them
in the use of this medium, particularly
those of the south side of Long Island.
Although when they fry cells they never
coat them with bread crumbs or flour.
the fish emerge from the pan fialSy and
crisp and of even tint Should any one
fancy this easy of accomplishment, he
or she has only to attempt it to find how
likely is total failure. The Jews excel in
frying as much on account Of the mi
mute attention which they give TO the
preparation of the fish before they
place them in the boiling oil as from
the use of that medium.

RUBIN STEMS RELIGION,

Still an UnbelIever.

Although Jew by birth, Rubenstein
was baptized when mere infant. and.
as religion Is necessity in Russia, was
forced, when residing there to follow
the prescribed forms once a year at
least. But in reality he had little SYM
pathy with the religion of the priest.
The question of the hereafter had for
nm a fascination and a certain awe:
out although he went so far at times
as to profess a belief in annihiIation
after death, yet it is to be doubted if
Rubinstein himself really knew what
he did believe. He certainly had his
iull share Of Jewish skepticism. but at
the same time was full of superstition
"a sure sign, at least, that he could
not have believed In nothing, since he
feared something. He would never set

stands greatly to his credit. that in
Russia, where IL is better to be born
a dog than a Jew, Rubinxtein, despite
his baptism, never sought to deny his
Jewish origin. In a certain way he was
even proud of it, and always boldly
acknowledged it. He was an ardent
patriot, and loved Russia with heart
and soul, working increasingly for the
musical future Of his country, having
devoted the best part of his life to this
cause. Without doubt he did for music

FOR THE QUEEN.
A House Where Marie Antoinette's
Wardrobe Was Taken.

On the upper or northern end Of the
Island of Westport, anciently called
Squam, ard situated in the Sheepscot
Bay on the Maine coast, stood large,
square, old fashioned house, built Of
heavy timbers, having one massive
brick chimney in the center. 1t was
owned and inhabited by a sea-faring
man by the name of Clough, who sailed
on foreign voyages.
1t was in the time of the French rev.
olution, when this captain was on
voyage to France, that he was en-
gagged by the agents of the king and
Marie A.toinette to bring them Sc
curely to America. Their wardrobe
and some of their furniture was al
ready placed on the ship, and the king
and queen were driven quietly down to
the quay, where the ships small boat
was in waiting to take them off to the
vessel. At the same moment secret
agents OF the revolution arrived just
in time to arrest their king and queen
just as they had alighted from their
carriage. Their majesties were then
removed to prison. There they were
soon after guillotined.
As soon as he found what had hap
pened Captain Clough put TO sea with
all haste, having the wardrobe and the
furniture of the king and queen on
board his ship. After a long voyage
he arrived at WestpOrt, Ne, safely and
stored the queens wardrobe and fur
niture in his own house on Squam
Island. Tradition says that visitors
to the house used sometimes to see
these things, and pieces of the queens
dresses are still kept by the Clough
descendants, who live in Edgecomb,
just opposite Westport.
On account OF what l have mar
rated above the house came to be called
the Marie Antoinette House" Quite a
long while after the events / have men
toned the old house was ferried across
on scows TO the opposite shore of Edge
comb, and placed high on the bank,
back from the rivers brink where it
now stands, and is still inhabited.
Many photographs have been taken Of
ii by summer tourists. and many have
written its history. But what | have
written was told me by the oldest in
habitants," who received it as I tell it
from their fathers and mothers
After the house was moved to the
EdgecoRb shore it was inhabited by
man named Gardiner Gore, who kept
large store and was quite wealthy.
One night an old lady of the same
town, called "Old Aunt Hood" who
was given to dreaming dreams,
dreamed that the bungs had all been
pulled out Of his molasses hogsheads
and that she saw the molasses run out
all over the floor, and thereupon she
told her dream and declared that
Gard would soon be poor, and. in
fact, he died soon after a poor man.

Snakes at Home Inside a Cow.

Nicholas Gradner, a well-known and
prosperous farmer Of near Portersville,
Butler county, Pa, was in the city and
told the following remarkable story,
which is vouched for by reliable people.
He said that seven days ago valuable
COW belonging to the family was miss
ing, and that yesterday the animal was
found dead, lying among the cranber-
ry bushes in the swamp. a veterinary
surgeon named Porter happened along
by that time and said he had a curiosi-
~ to know the cause Of the animals
death. He proceeded to hold a post
mortem on the body. While he was at
work a four-foot black snake crawled
from the mouth of the dead COW and
succeeded in escaping in the under
brush. The doctor was considerably
startled. but he proceeded with his
work, and when he mad reached the
stomach he was horritied to find that
it was fairly alive with little black
snakes from six to eight inches IN
length Thirty-two of the reptiles
We're slaughtered and a few escaped. It
is now supposed that the mother snake
in some manner crawled into the nos
trils OF the cow while she was eating
and that the little snakes, which are
known to find refuge in the interior of
the old one. followed.
