BILE quite as much during the long sum
mer days as when closed windows and
steam make the winter home into hot
house.
The design shown in this illustration
is intended for homemaking and is pc
culiarly well suited to the popular blue
and white room. The craze for delft
and delft decoration is still an active
one and for warm weather use no bet
ter, cooler scheme of color can be de-
vised.
The model from which the drawing
was made has threefold frame of BAN
boo. A similar one or one of white
enamel can be purchased for a small
sum. The material used for the panels
is heavy unbleached cotton cloth or
muslin, but cotton sheeting or any
heavier stuff of warm cream color can
be used il preferred. The advantage of
the simpler material lies in its cheap
ness, combined with durability and good
tone.
To make the panels first cut the nee

For both the border and the delft
scenes use OIL color in delft blue, Trimmed
with turpentine. The style Of the border
is known as waves and is only com

in carefully with your brush, and let il
get quite dry before undertaking the in.

For the Dutch scenes you will find
models upon any bit of the china or,
failing that, they can be purchased from
dealers in art supplies. No color but the

and deliciously cool to the eye. More

who has handled brush and the muslin
is so strong that the screen can be twisted
to endure even hard usage. The back of

THE CURTIS RABBIT.
A Decided Novelty and a Great Castro.
nomic Success.

A Decided Novelty and a Great Castro
monte Success.
One of the recent developments Of
the epicureanism for which the Quaker
City is famous is a chatting dish club,
an interesting novelty in its way. A
number of the best known Commands
i'll the city meet regularly for supper,
each man in his turn filling the office of
cook and being compelled by the by
laws to prepare supper in chatting dishes
for the entire party. At recent
meeting David A. Curtis, one of the
founders Of that i'll fated paper, The
Cook, was the guest and surprised the
club with genuine improvement on
the old fashioned Welsh rabbit. 1t was
unanimously declared success, and the
club passed vote of thanks to Mr. Cur
tbs, in return for which he told his rec
ipe.
Il have experimental with the rab-
bit for "A dozen years, b" he said, but
only this winter have | succeeded III
making one that seems perfect to me.
AS you have seen, use one egg to n
pound of cheese and have the egg thor
oughly beaten, yolk and white together,
before beginning to cook. A mere trifle
of olive oil in the chatting dish is enough
to keep the cheese from burning or
sticking to the dish, and when the oil
is fairly hot put in, not the ordinary
mild dairy cheese, which is generally
used, but soft cream cheese. 1t melts
rapidly, and while it is melting l sea-
son it highly. Seasoning is, of course,
always matter of individual taste, but
l use salt, white pepper, which prefer
to cayenne dry mustard, worcestershire
sauce and plentiful sprinkling of curry
powder.
''TheD, just as the cheese is almost
melted, pour in gill Of stale lager
beer to the pound of cheese instead of
the ale which is ordinarily used. That
is again matter of taste, but l prefer
it to ale. Then stir quickly for mo-
ment or two and add the egg very slowly,
stirring furiously the while If the
cheese is good and the heat is exactly
right, the paste will puff up into a very
light cream, as you saw it do just now.
The toast, Of course, is already prepared,
ana the plates are hot; SO all that re-
mans Is to pour this cream over the
toast and eat Immediately.
THE reason cut the toast into dice
before cooking the cheese was to give
you the pleasure, which was certainly
unexpected to you, of eating what |
have modestly named the Curtis rabbit
with teaspoon. may say that / have
tried the dish on IA number of people
who are fond Of Welsh rabbits, but who
do not dare to eat them on account of
their difficulty of digestion, and not a
single person has experienced the slight
est trouble afterward -"
The club agreed unanimously that
the new dish was not only decided
novelty, but toothsome success 1t was
certainly as light as whipped cream,
and, as the cook declared, was readily
to be eaten with teaspoon. Moreover,
though il was by no means so substan-
tlal Wand as the rabbit made of
pressed cheese, its flavor was far more
delicate. l.. N. M.

A Four Legged Bird.

The crested hoazin Of British Gui-
ana, the only survivor of race Of birds
which are known as fossils, is described
in The Popular Science News The
hoazin inhabits the most secluded for
ests Of South America, and its survival
beyond its congeners is doubtless owing
to its retiring habits and the fact that
it feeds on wild arum leaves, which
gives its flesh most offensive flavor,
rendering il unfit for food.
The chief popularity Of the hoazin
consists in the fact that when it is
Matched it possesses four well developed
legs. The young birds leave the nest
and climb about like monkeys over the
adjoining limbs and look more like tree
toads than birds
The modification of the fore limbs be-
gins at once after Matching; the claws
of the digits fall off the whole clawlike
hand begins to fatten and becomes
wing shape Feathers soon appear, and
before full growth is reached not YES
tige remains of its original character.
Professor F. A. Lucas says of the
hoazin, THE adult birds not only
have no claws upon their wings, but
their thumbs even are 30 poorly devel-
oped that one would hardly suspect that
in the nestlings we have the nearest ap,
proach to quadruped found among ex-
listing birds.
One curious feature noticed with a
nesting which had been upset in the
river was its power Of rapid swimming
and diving when pursued. Owing to
this power the little creature managed
to evade all efforts to secure it. The
prolonged immersion which a nesting
will undergo, instinctively and volun-
tarily, or which an adult bird will en-
dure in an attempt to drown 1t seems
quite remarkable.

GROW AND SELL.

To every man owning or growing a
colt there comes day, II IL be in proper
condition, when somebody wants to pur-
chase. Then Is the time 10 sell. The
curse has followed breeders who have
declined because they expected TO grow
world-beater, or were afraid some one
else would realize dollar on the pur-
chase. This grasping spirit, this desire
to get the last farthing, has left in the
stables many a colt which never after
was wanted. Men seem to forget that II
costs money TO keep horses, and that IL
the labor item be wiped out there Is still
the hay and grain bill TO be provided
for. A small per cent are adapted TO the
work OF improving through education,
but the m,jority will do a good business
by selling IN the undeveloped state, snd
saviog the dollars IL would necessarily
cost 10 feed. There are hundreds in
Maine to-day which will not sell for
enough in Msy TO pay for the hay aud
grain they will eat during the next six
months. No matter IL one out of a hun
dred Will trot or pace in $50, The other
ninety-nine will not, and the measure of
speed will depend not on the breeding.
but the skill of the man who develops.
Sell them at the first good offer, and
give the other fellow chance. The
faster or better the horse, the greater
your reputation as a breeder. IL there
is no offer, the colt has no value, then
why continue to pour dollars down \

breed horses as a business, aud this rests
upon certain well established principles,
the chief being the demand of the mar
