How to Make Lobster = In Nowburg.


Cut the meat of boiled lobster into
large dice, put it into a bowl, then sea-
son it highly with mustard, cayenne,
salt, q little paprika and some pungent
sauce. Put a heaping tablespoonful Of
butter into a nice, clean saucepan, melt
it and add slowly pint Of cream, in
which you have beaten 2 whole eggs.
Beat it while cooking, pour in gently a
little cream to blend it and cook it un-
til it is as thick as mayonnaise. Do not
allow it to boil for fear Of ourdling.
Pour the lobster pieces in it and let 1t
cook until it is heated through. Too
much cooking toughens lobster meat.
Just before serving pour glass of sau-
terne or sherry over all and serve hot
The dish may be garnished with trian'
gular pieces Of toast, and crisp cheese
straws will be q nice addition.

ALWAYS WRONG.
our senses

The New York Nation says that
the manifest destiny" of Hawaii
is to become a japanese DEEPEN
dency. The manifest destiny" of
the Nation, so far, has been to 60
wrong on the Hawaiian case. In
spite of its efforts to put itself at
the head of the troop Of elevated"
journalists, it manages to exhibit
the usual average of human weak
ness. That paper is perfectly well
aware of its own grossly misleading
statements of fact regarding the re
volution here. 1t refuses to modi
fv them, because, like the average
journalist, it is believed to be sign
of weakness to admit that there has
been mistake.
For over four years it has stood,
with a pack of fire crackers in its
hand, to be touched off with inn
mense satisfaction, the instant the
missionary thieves were driven
from power, and the old order re-
stored. In its emaciated frenzy, it
still is expecting it. While wait
inc for the event, it makes faces
at the "Sons of the American Re
volution," who live here, and have
signalled for help to the other Sons
in America. If the Nation could
only down this CHASTITY Hawaiian
ghost, it would take some rest. As
it is, it is bound to keep up its per-
petual sneak into the affairs of our
little concern, and if it is possible
to find a new way of going wrong,
it will 90 wrong.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-08-05

Now it appears that another
popular tradition is in danger of
going by the board. General
George A. Forsyth, one of the
aides-de-camp who accompanied
General Sheridan on his famous
ride. declares in an article in Har-
per's for July, that at no time dur
ing that day did he hear the ''ter-
rible oath" which the General is
reported to have uttered" to en-
courage his retreating men. His
CALCULATIONS were not dellcately
phrased. They were the rough
words most likely to inspire confid-
ence in men hardened by camp and
military life; such words as men
in great excitement will use. 1t is
doubtful if people will be willing
to accept the version of Gen. For
syth. The language used by the
General has come almost to be a
part of the ride itself. But other
officers who saw General Sheridan
during some progress of the mem
orable ride assert that he did use
violent language. The fact in it
self is immaterial. Men to whom
an oath is usually offensive are
willing to condone the use of one
on an occasion like this. Perhaps
many other stories of bravery that
have been handed down to us,
would lose some of their piquancy
of romance, could they be related
with eXactness of detail.
