NAVAL OFFICERS AS FARMERS.

On Quitting the Sea They Lean TO Large
Slices of Solid Ground.
"Nayal officers always settle in the
country when they cam remarked a
prominent naval officer to a Washington
Star reporter. During their active
careers, that is, during the time they are
at sea. they are necessarily cramped for
room, and while some of them on the
large modern ships have elegant and
sumptuous quarters, there is necessarily
limit to it. This thing grows on a man
to such an extent that the first thing he
does when he is retired, and in hundreds
of cases long before retirement, he hunts
up and locates on farm. Three of the
admirals of the retired list, headed by
Admiral Ammen, are the owners of farms
in the immediate locality of Washington,
and any number of other officers are sim
ilarly provided for, though their farms
are not SO extensive. They seem to want
stretching room, and it will be noticed
when they do locate they secure big
places. Their minds run into stock and
chicken raising. The officers of the
marine corps have been noted for years
as the owners of the speediest horses
owned or driven about Washington, and
they have been always prominent in con-
nection with our racing associations and
organizations. Naval officers have been
similarly prominent 1t is different with
army officers. Their ambition seems to be
for nice houses in the cities. The naval
officers ideas all run toward the coun-
try. [ don't like to give names, but I
could give dozens Of illustrations to prove
what L say, 1t 1T were necessary. Take
a look at any of the incoming cars from
any of the suburban places around
Washington any morning, and there will
be sufficient proof Of what / saw"

THICK AND THIN MEAT.
a Novel Classification of the Worlds
Population.

"A
Population.
A member of the Professional Wom-
ans league who has travelled extensively
in foreign lands said the other evening
that you can classify the peoples of the
world by the way they cut their meat
The powerful physical nature of the An
glo-Saxon is we'll illustrated by the huge
rib roasts and the immense shoulders of
mutton. The more artistic nature OF the
Frenchman is shown by his cutting his
meat into thin slices of fillet, into cpl
grams and into hlmy affairs he calls
'rosbif"
The Arab cuts his meat into a thin rib
bon. wraps it around an iron skewer,
broils it over the charcoal fire, and To-,
and behold! there is the famous kabOb.
Strange to say, it is very rare for the
Angle-Saxon to cut his meat thin, just
as it is rare for the Eastern races to
serve it in massive portions. Yet we
could improve our daily bill of fare, es-
pecially in the summer season, by adopt
ing many of the dishes and methods of
these other races.
Thus the kabob system may be applied
to any kind of flesh or fowl, and pro-
duces a crisp, palatable and nourishing
culinary creation. Another series of
I pleasant dishes is made by cutting meat
into long strips about the size of lead
been sailed and peppered, in either their
own fat or in olive OIL The liquid should
be very hot before the meat is put in, SO
as to close up all the pores and keep the
juice within the fiber. These pencils,
when cooked properly, are clean, deli
cious, brittle and very appetizing.
Still another system comes from Italy
and Spain and in that very attractive
preparation known as fritas. These con-
siSt of little pieces of meat about the size
Of a hickory nut One will be made of
beef, another of lamb. third of chicken,
a fourth of duck. fifth of corned beef,
a sixth of cold beefsteak. The greater
the variety the more successful the dish.
These pieces are very well seasoned, they
being rubbed with Glove of garlic, salt
ed. peppered and usually touched with a
drop or two of onion juice. They are then
dipped in batter and fried over very hot
fire. When they come out all look alike,
so that the guest has the additional at
traction of novelty, variety and surprise.
The toughness of the kidney disappears
almost entirely if it be cut with a sharp
knife as fine as Saratoga chips, and bet
ter still, if it be put through a meat-cut-
ting machine and reduced to a mere pulp.
The great advantage of this style of
preparation is that it makes meat abso-
lutely safe. All flesh is liable to contain
within its fbers the germs and even the
bodies of internal parasites. These are
killed by the high temperature and long
exposure; nevertheless, in many pieces of
roast beef as served upon the best tables
in the land there are UNDERGONE centers
where these organisms may be alive. The
eater does not know the difference, be-
cause they are hardly discernible to the
naked eye. Cutting it fine or thin, how
ever, and then cooking it even for a few
minutes absolutely destroys al life.

FIBROID TUMOR
Expelled by Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Interview With HRS. e. A. Lombard.

I have reason to think that would
not be here now if it had not been for
Lydia i. Pinkhans Vegetable Com
pound. It cured me Of fbroid tumor
in my womb.
Doctors could do nothing for me, and
they could not cure me at the hospital
I will tell you about it:
had been in my usual health. but
had worked quite hard. When my
monthly period came on, flowed very
badly. The doctor gave me medicine,
but it did me no good. He said the
flow must be stopped if possible, and
he must find the cause of my trouble.
Upon examination, he found there
was a Fibroid Tumor in my womb, and
gave me treatment without any benefit
whatever. About that time a LADY
called on me, and recommended Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
said she owed her life to it.
said I would try it, and did. Soon
after the flow became more natural and
regular. / still continued taking the
Compound for some time. Then the
doctor made an examination again,
and found everything all right. The
tumor had passed away and that dull
ache was gone.-MRs. B. A. LOMBARD,

Unclaimed Funds in England.

By order of Parliament report has
just been made out and published con-
corning the unclaimed funds in the keep
ing of the various government depart
ments at the present moment. The Chan
Gerry division of the Supreme court of
Judic&ture has in its possession over
$500, 100000, after paying during the last
two years $50, 100000 to successful claim
ants The Irish court of chancery holds
some $50,O0OOO0 of unclaimed moneys,
while the unclaimed government stocks
and accumulated dividends retained by
the treasury department amount to $685.
600. Unclaimed dividends in bankrupt
cy are figured at $5,6OO,O0O, while un-
claimed army and navy prize money and
accumulations of pay exceed $3,O00,OO0.
All these funds are used by the British
government until claims thereto have
been satisfactorily proved. An endeavor
will be made when Parliament meets to
transfer to the state the custody of I'M
claimed funds in the hands of bankers
and others. These funds are known to
amount to a colossal sum, far exceeding
the total amount of unclaimed money
now in the keeping of the government.

CYCLING AT MACKINAC.
City Attorney Van Wyck Returns in
Championship Form.

Attorney Van Wyck Returns In
Championship Form.
At Maczinac island City Attorney Van
Wyck perfected himself in bicycle riding
and today boldly issued a challenge to his
bicycle-riding friends at the city hall for
a road race There are eight miles of
roads on the top of the island, fit for
bicycle riding The hills are steep and
after conquering them Mr.. Van Wyck
believes that anything around Milwaukee
IS easy. While in the party one day,
George Wiswell had a severe fall but
came off rather better than was to be
expected. He was cOasting down one
of the steep Mackinac hills when a cow
walked out in front of him. In trying
to dodge the cow Mr. Wiswell was
thrown some twenty feet, Mr.. Van Wyck
says, and the city attorney was right
behind him. The hackmen at Mackinac
do not do thing to the wheelmen, for
every wheel that comes to the island is
money out of their pockets. SO they
make life miserable for the wheelmen
when they meet them on the road-and
Mackinac roads are narrow.
A fine beach boulevard has been built
around a portion of the island, from Brit
ish landing via the Devils kitchen to
the village. The new road is about five
miles in length. is macadamized and
makes a fine cycling path. 1t is intended
to continue this drive around the island
by way of the precipitous rocks at Rob
ertson's Folly
One day after a heavy rain Mr.. Van
Wyck found a fine specimen of the mush-
room known as Polyporus SulDhureus,
which grows in clusters upon oak trees.
1t weighed three pounds and when
cooked it was as tender as a chicken.
The city attorney says he has not seen
this mushroom near Milwaukee.

The Goodyear Lesson.

There is hardly child in the United
States who has not heard the story of
Charles Goodyear. He has been held
up to the youthful imagination as aE ex-
ample. But the lesson is not a good one,
except in that it illustrates the force OF
persistence. For Charles was a bank
rupt hardware merchant before be
thought of rubber, and when he did be-
gin to experiment with it he was in a
debtors Jail with nothing TO while away
the time. And, after all the invention
was an accident. Tradition does not say
that he was drunk. but after ten years Of
disappointment with various mixtures lie
knocked a handful of rubber and sui
phur on hot stove and, presto!--there
you are! Nine years later he paid Daniel
Webster $50, 600 in cash to defend lis
patents. 1t was at that time the largest
fee ever paid to a lawyer in this cCun-
try.-New York Press.

Lightest Known Solid.

1t is said that the lightest known solid

800 cubic inches of it would weigh as
much as one cubic inch of iridium, the
heaviest metal.

How the Scarlet Letter was Write,

How the Scarlet Letter was Written.
The old saying, every cloud has its
silver lining" should often bring US COM
fort when the world appears to be frown-
ing upon US. A rare example of this
was shown by Hawthorne's wife, who
proved herself to his Il true ''friend in
need" One wintry day he had received
notice that his services would no longer
be required at his Office. Weary and
downcast. he returned to his humble
home. His young wife stood waiting for
him, and noticed at once that something
was wrong. He told her his troubles.
Straightway the brave little woman with
her own hands kindled a bright fire;
fetched pen, ink and paper, which she
set beside him; then, with beaming face,
she touched the sad man on the shoulder
and said ''Now you can write your
book" Immediately the cloud cleared
and things presented themselves to Haw-
thorne under changed aspect. He felt
a freed man; the office appeared as d
cage from which he had escaped. 1.-The

of his who had often been told that
there is a skeleton in the cupboard of
every household, no matter how respecta-

termined to put this opinion to a practi-
cal test. Selecting for the subject of his
experiment a venerable archdeacon of the
church, aginst whom the most cens0riOus
critics had never breathed word, he went
TO the nearest postotfice and dispatched
this telegram to the reverend gentleman:
All is discovered! Fly at oncew The
