AN OLD PRUssIAN DISH.
"Beerfish" Is Alleged to Be Good Whe
1t Is Served Steamines Hot.

"Beerfish" Is Alleged to Be Good When
1t Is Served steamine Hot
There is dish dear to every Prus-
SLAMS heart, which may be, however,
absolutely new in this country. All
Germans may not know it, as it is not
made In south Germany except in iso-
lated cases. Beer is not its chief ingre-
dent. but it plays an important part in
the makeup.
The dish is known as beerfish, and
tho German carp, praised of epicures, is
herein treated in manner worthy Of
the fish. 1t must be made with half
beer, OF, in the absence of this, with
weiss beer and porter. The fish is cut,
not in half, like shad. but in sections
or squares Three or four cuts across
the fish are all that is necessary. OF
course the fish must be cleaned.
A large glazed pot is used. A layer of
largo onions is placed ON the bottom of
the pot. On this are sprinkled various
spices; then a layer of substance call
ed fish pfefferkuchen, which has moro
or less fish substance in it and can be
procured at any German grocery or deli
catessen store; then layer of sliced
lemon; then carp This is repeated until
the pot is full.
A layer of onions is placed on top and
beer is poured into the whole mass until
all the interstices are filed. 1t is cook
ed for 30 minutes over slow fire. mean
time adding a spoonful Of vinegar and
another of sugar. Beerfish is delicious
when it Is cooked and served steaming
hot. But its good qualities do not end
here, for after it is cold it offers allure
ments which mako it hard to decide
which way it tastes better, hot or cold.

with Mere Especial Reference to Drain
Pipe and Tomato Can Chimneys.
Speaking of chimneys," said an old
soldier, "the chimney such as one not
infrequently secs made Of glazed drain
pipe always interests me greatly. We've
seen such chimneys run up outside OF
shanties, and we've seen them carried
from the tops of ohimneys over to the
side wall OF some much higher building
erected next door and thence on upward
above the top of it. There is one thing
about these drain pipe chimneys that al
ways surprises me very much, and that
Is that they stack 'em up with the
fiange end of the sections up. never
saw one built the other way. never
could understand this. suppose the
pipe is usually set up with cement or
mortar in the joints, but | should think
those upturned fianges would catch all
the rain, and that it would work down
the pipes, and that frost would get In
| there in winter and all that. l should
think it would be immensely better to
stack 'em up with the smooth end at the
top, and don't know why they don't
do it.
perhaps my great interest in this
simple form of cylindrical chimney is
due to more intimate acquaintance
with and great affection for another
kind of cylindrical chimney, one more
simple in form and construction. re-
fer to the tomato can chimney. Emblem
of domestic peace and comfort as the
chimney undoubtedly is, it is not always
80, and tho tomato can chimney, per-
haps moro than any other, charaoterizes
the livelier vicissitudes of life. l know
that my own first acquaintance with the
| tomato can chimney was in the army
In time of war. And yet even there it
has some flavor of peace about it, for
we never had one except at times when
we were moro or less settled in camp
and were within reach Of settler.
"And the tomato can chimney is by
no means confined to army life. 1t is
built by hunters and campers out, by
squatters and pioneers and by early set
tiers in new regions pending the build
ing of more substantial chimney, and
SO suppose it may be said of the Chin
ney, after all, that wherever IL may be
set up and of whatever it may be con-
structed it has about the same SAVIOR OF

THE PYRAMIDS OF EGYPT.
How We're They Reared and How Was
the Material Gathered7

the Material Gathered?
The pyramids of Egypt, for long and
to this day included among the worlds
wonders, are to be regarded as marvel
GUS triumphs of mechanical skill. OF
these there are many scattered over the
Nile valley, some Of brick, some of stone
and of varied height. The two largest
are in the neighborhood of Cairo. They
are and have been for thousands of
years the most colossal monuments In
the world.
The largest, that of Cheops, in its
original state is said to have been 800
feet high and the length of its base on
each side the same. It is built of hugo
stones ranging from to feet in
height. 1t is now rugged and has the
character as we'll as the appearance of q
four sided great stairway. The hollows
between the steps are believed to have
been filled in with white marble. which
would shine like snow under the bright
Egyptian sun. The pyramid is now
much reduced in height, not being more
than 500 feet. 1t is generally admitted
that the pyramids were built for tombs
and ON certain astronomical principles
There is an inner chamber where the
sarcophagus was placed. When mon
arch began to reign, he commenced to
build his tomb. When he died, his body
was placed in the sacred chamber pre-
pared for it, and the opening which led
to it was closed. The pyramid was
then completed. If the monarch 8 reign
was long, tho pyramid was large. If
short, tho pyramid was small.
How those great structures were
reared--how the huge masses were
brought together and put in their places
is question which has never been
satisfactorily answered. OF mechanical
forces some of the early peoples seem to
have had much more knowledge than
there is any direct record of.-Chioago

FOLLOWS P1NGREE's LEAD.
New York Suburb Trying the De-
troIt Plan of Quarter Acre Farms
for the Poor.

NEW YORK, April l2.-The first
squad OF men to be worked on
farming quarter acre farms in Long
Island City by the society for the
Improvement Of the condition OF
the poor, has reported for duty.
They were instructed in the mys-
teries Of preparing potatoes for
planting. The squad was a good
example of what the general run OF
those to be assisted will be and
seemed to have been selected
because OF their great diversity OF
condition and ordinary pursuits.
The plan to be followed is very
much like that adopted by Mayor
Pingree, of Detroit. The lands
have all been unproductive and
held mostly for speculation
purposes. The society has plOwed
and narrowed the lots which have
been staked out in quarter acres
and each OF the men will be sup.
piled with seed and the necessary
implements with which to work
the crops. About half Of each Sec
ton will be put down in potatoes
and the rest in vegetables. Nu-
merous donations Of seed and farm
ing tools have been received by the
society and it is expected that there
will now be plenty OF work for the
UNEMPLOYED.

NEW CONSUMPTION CURE
DR.. Waldstein's Important Dis
covery Seems TO be Genuine.

WASHINGTON. April l2.-United States
COnsul-Geueral DeKay, at Berlin, believes
an American physician has discovered a
means OF curing consumption, lupus and
perhaps cancer. In a report TO the state
department he says the coming medical
congress at Munich is likely 10 give no
little attention to the discovery made
by DR.. Louis WaldStein. native Of New
York, announced In the German medical
papers as extraordinary. The key TO the
discovery Is this:
By successive injections Of minute doses
of pllOsarpine in the veins he arrives at a
gradual S.imu alton of the lymphatic SvS-
TEN. That system increases the white
corpuScleS in the blood, when, in
some way not yet agreed upon,
ii certainly overcOmeS and renders
harmless those poisonous particles in the
blood that produce the disease. The re-
port closes with the statement OF case of
lupus of twenty-five years duration, re-
garded as lncurable, which was relieved
Immediately after the first injection and
is now almost healed.
