INDIA CURRY.
A Hot Weather Use of the Condimeu
NOT Generally Known.


The use of that wholesome condi-
ment,, curry powder. in the average
American family is becoming greater
each year, says the Sun. This pow
der has been in general use in Eng
land since the days of Warren Hast
ings, and Englishmen have become
very fond of 1t, some sprinkling the
curry from a holder as an American
would pepper upon his food. People
living where the heat of the climate
makes It necessary to use stimulating
condiments in their viands learn
quickly to like curried dish or any
thing with this powder in 1t. Perhaps
it is not generally known that slices
of cold meat or fowl heated in we'll
seasoned curry sauce and served for
luncheon on a hot summers day are
better for the stomach than the cold
meats alone. A curry powder Is used
with great success in seasoning fish
sauces and vegetable dishes as well
as meats and a little of this powder
in soups adds to their flavor.
A curry powder is pulverized very
fine and smooth, and usually is pre-
pared with the following spices: Twelve
ounces of tumeric, one ounce of
caynenne pepper, half an ounce of
black pepper, the same of paprika,
six ounces of ginger, half an ounce
each of cardamon seed, cummin seed,
mace, and cinnamon, and eight ounces
of coriander seed. A bottle of the best
imported India curry powder may be
purchased at a small expense and
will retain its strength for a long
while If kept closely corked, rolled in
thick paper, or put in dark place.
In the East Indies, where curries are
so successfully made, an acid fruit is
commonly and cocoanut is always used
with the other ingredients, which would
seem unusual to us, who are accus-
toned to associating cocoanut with del
icate cakes and dainty puddings.
Here is one recipe for India curry:
Break open cocoanut, save the milk,
and crate half the nut meat. Pour over
this half a cup of fresh milk and the
cocoanut milk, and let them stand in a
cool place several hours. Take a
boiled fowl and cut it into pieces of the
proper size, removing the skin and
bones and sprinkling the flesh lightly
with salt. Cut good sized onion into
small pieces and put it into a frying
pan with three tablespoonfuls of butter;
cook them five minutes, add half a
chopped green pepper, and cook five
minutes longer; stir in two tablespoon
fuls of flour and two tablespoonfuls of
curry powder and stir until it is frothy:
slowly add one pint of the liquid in
which the chicken was cooked after
removing the grease carefully: Now
press the milk from the grated cocoa
nut and add it to the other ingred-
tents with teaspoonful Of sugar.
Allow these to cook slowly ten minutes.
Put into a saucepan the prepared
meat and strain the curry sauce over
1t; add the Juice of half lemon; cover
the pan, and let the contents just bub-
BILE for twenty minutes; then serve
A few raisins or pieces of apricots are
frequently added with the other in
gradients; then the sugar and lemon
may be omitted.

Cincinnati, O., May 2S.-George NJ.

AN IMPORTANT INVENTION.
Arrangement by Which Fire Can Be
Made to EXtinguisb Itself.

Pottsville, May 2S.-The Miners
Journal says: The recent loss by fire
of three of the largest breakers of the
region led a travelling man, who visits
this section frequently to look into the
matter Of increasing the safety of large
structures. The recent holocaust in
Paris, whereby large number of HUI
man lives were lost, induced him to
consider how those accidents in the
future could be avoided. He formulat-
ed plan by which the fire itself turned
on the water TO Put he fire out, and a
thermostadt combined with it turns oft
the water after the fire is out. He has
submitted his plans to the breaker
builders of Wyoming and Schuylkill
regions and all who have seen 1t have
endorsed the plan. He is now going to
the patent Office with it.
From the showing of it watchmen on
the inside can be entirely dispensed
with from the fact that the fire itself
turns on the water and puts itself out

ROTHsCHILD AND BLANCO.
How the Financier Paid the Dictator
A Fine Compliment.

From the Chicago Record,
A good story is told OF Guzman
Blanco, who was for many years die
tator of Venezuela. 1t is said that
when he called upon Baron de Roths-
child in Paris to negotiate loan for
the government, he remarked, by way
of a compliment, that he was much
honored by having an interview with
the holder of the richest banking houses
in the world.
"And am honored," was the re-
ply OF the baron, by receiving a call
from the richest man on earth"
IF you have me in mind" retorted
Guzman, you are mistaken. l am
not so rich as reported. but had l all
that is credited to me 1 would still be
poor, very poor, in comparison with
yourself and thousands Of men in this
and other countries"
'But l insist upon the truth OF my
assertion that you are the richest man
in the world, for who else" exclaimed

POOL OF INK PHENOMENON.
Situated I'm Southern CALIFORNIA; I'm q
DeaOInte SPOT. -fs-.


. DesOlnte Spot. -.
Without doubt the most remarkable
body of water in the word lies in the
vicinity of the Colorado river, in south
ern California. In this region of ugly
volcanoes, desolate wastes and Shiny
swamps, says the St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch, the strangest phenomenon of
all is what the naturalists call "lake of
ink" No other description, fits so well.
The strange black fluid that forms the
lake bears no resemblance to water. It
must some day have been "lake of
fire." and even now it TALES excellent
ly with the familiar description Of the
Internal regions. Thick and viscous
and foul-smelling, it seems altogether
unfit that it should deface the surface
of the earth.
The pool of ink is situated about half
mile from a volcano. It is about an
acre in area. The surface is coated
with gray ashes from the volcanoes to
the thickness Of about six inches, thus
concealing it's real nature. a traveller
not prepared to avoid it's treacherous
depths might easily walk into it. Ex-
pertinent has proved that the back
fluid of the lake is not poisonous. 1t
acts as dye, and cotton goods soaked
in it keep their color for months, ever
when exposed to the sun. They also
acquire a stiffness similar to that pro-
duced by weak starch. The fluid has
been analysed, but its component parts
have not been made known.

AUTHOR AND ARTIST.

Stephen Crane's new novel is said to
be "a radical departure from that au-
thor's former style. The book, called
1.-The Third Violet" deals with artistic
life in both the city aud the country.
Mr.. Kpling's. poem, 'The Lady of :he
Shows" has provoked q protest from
the Canadian house of commons, as cal
culated to "foster an erroneous idea OF
the Canadian climate"
James Lane Allen wrote his last book,
'The Choir Invisible" in less than six
months, although the work is more
than twice as long as any Of his other
works. The first edition will consist
of 10000 copies.
Interest in William Morris continues
to live. Aymer Vallance's cart of Will
liam Morris" was limited to 220 copies
at $40 apiece, yet the entire number was
sold before the day of publication
The seven pictures by Sir John Mil
lais, sold in London short time ago,
brought in all $27 900. A work by Lord
Leighton was disposed of at the same
sale for a sum smalleH than the small
est amount paid for any of the Millais
pictures. .. .....
Victorien Sardou was intended to be a
physician, but he was so poor that he
had to give Greek and Latin lessons at
20 cents apiece. He was also book
seker's hack and made TRANSACTIONS. It
is stated that he was once paid less than
$3.50 for a translation which took him
three weeks to do.
Poe furnished his famous cottage at
Fordham by curious method. He
took up book reviewing and attacked
the authors With a furious satire. One,
Thomas Dunn English, retaliated. Poe
began suit for libel against English's
publisher and won few hundred dol
lars. This money was spent in the fur
nishing of the little house and probably
was the largest sum ever possessed in
the whole career Of the eccentric poet.
