GRAVY WITH YOUR FISH.
Prince of Whales Eats 1t and Chi
cagOans Initiate Him.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Do you eat gravy with your fish? Most
Chicago epicures, and many who are not
epicures, do. The habit has become a
fad during the past month. and no one
who is really up to date gastronomically
fails to order his waiter at the club or in
the restaurant to bring plenty of gravy"
The gravy that is eaten with fish is not
the ordinary dish gravy that remains in
the pan after cooking the fish or is caught
in a receptacle as it drips from the broil-
ing piscatorial delicacy. Itchthyophagists
Insist that they shall be given a thick
gravy which looks much like the old-fash-
toned ham gravy of their boyhood days.
The Prince of Wales is responsible for
the fad. Somebody who had just return
ed from London brought the news that
the prince ate gravy with his fish. 1t
was Immediately adopted as the proper
caper by those who follow the English
heir apparent, not only in matters of
dress, but in everything else Some of
the gourmets, ever on the alert for new
experiments in cookery, tried the princes
gravy and pronounced 1t excellent
Gravy such as the prince eats with
his fish is not made from the fish. A chef
at one of the clubs gives the recipe.
"Englishmen are very fond of gravy"
he said, land they have one kind which
they eat with everything. Every English
housewife keeps a lot of gravy stock. 1t
is made by taking piece of coarse beef
which is cut into squares. This is thrown
into the pot, little bacon and butter
are added. An onion chopped fine is also
used, with other vegetables, such as car
rots, beets and turnips. Then cloves and
other spices in moderation are used as
favoring. Cut into small pieces and cover
with water. Stew until thick gravy ap-
pears on the top. Four times its bulk
of water should then be added and the
whole mass is allowed to simmer for five
hours. 1t is then strained and is kept on
hand ready for use.
When man calls for gravy with his
fish, as is the fashion at the present time
we collect the dripping from the fish and
add the juice to the stock gravy This Is
served separately in a gravy dish or is
poured over the cooked fish"
Those who have tried fish with gravy
la Prince of Wales" or poisson a la
Prince" as it sometimes appears on tho
menu, are delighted with it, and the habit
is quickly spreading.

powers that were possessed by the famous

pounds, but in her first public exhibition
Thursday night she would sling strong
men around as If they were toys simply

hold. A large bedpost would be placed

Version of an Ancient Trick.

version OF an Ancient Trick.
From the San Francisco Call.
There are two tramps In East Oakland
whose wits entitle them to a far better
occupation. few days ago they wan
dered along the county road from Hay
wards and when they struck Twenty
third, avenue they were thirsty, even for
tramps. The water Of the creek is muddy
at this time Of the year and did not ap-
pear particularly inviting to a thirsty
tramp on hot day, and they waded in
1t for some minutes and after replacing
their remnants of shoes they proceeded
on their journey around the earth.
In back yard they found a demijohn
which they took along with them. on a
recent occasion circumstances were such
that they came into possession of a large
bathing sponge, and this they carried off
with them and put to what they consid-
cred a good use.
They went into a saloon, and, handing
the demijohn over the counter, asked the
proprietor to fill it with good whisky. The
saloon-keeper obliged them and was ten
dered a dollar in return. He at once re-
fused IL. as 1t was debased. The tramps
had no more money, and there being no
alternative, the saloon man emptied the
whisky back into the cask and the tramps
left with their demijohn.
A few minutes later the same tram
went into vacant lot and carefully broke
the demijohn. From the pieces they deli
cately lifted out their bath sponge. which
was thoroughly soaked with whisky. AZ
ter squeezing II into an old tomato can
and quarreling over the relative sizes Of
alternate swallows" the tramps march

many other uncomplimentary phrases ara
now numbered among his stanchest sun.
porters and are loudest in proclaiming hi,
wonderful skill.
At the time when the skeptic and IN.
friendly were depreciating the value of
Abbo as a medical man of extraordinary
skill and experience and attempting to
block the success that was certain to fol.
low him Abbo wisely passed unnoticed the
remarks Of those who were biased, know
ing confidently that time would bring 10
his support his most bitter opponents. He
depended entirely upon his skill to prove
to the people of Savannah that he would
merit their honest support and Influence
and that instead of frowning down the es
adjustment of an Abbo institute he would
by his cures of disease and relief of the
afflicted make the institute an establish
ment that would be patronized, maintain
ed. promoted. and cherished by the best
class of people purely for its worth and as
sistance which 1t would in a short while
become to them.
