WAS A FLEMISH" CAR.
The Owl-Car Passengers FINALLY
Found Out,

Ouhu ouSs
He seemed painfully conscious of the
ludicrous figure he cut as he burst
through the wildly tapping curtains OF
north-bound, all-night car and
scraped himself into a seat which had
been neglected by the other occupants
on account of the sea of moisture which
it contained. His face was belligerent-
ly red and his widely-staring eyes. an
ticipating with maniacal vigilance any
tendency to laughter which his ap-
pearance might provoke, blazed forth a
challenge to the entire car and success
fully dispelled the rising spirit Of
jocundity.
The night was the most tempestu.
Gus of the present season, and in order
to escape the gusts of wind and water
that assailed the car from every direc.
ton some of the "owls' had gathered
in the aisle, while others had perched
upon the backs of seats. and some had
opened up their umbrellas. The con-
ductor, with an air Of intrepidity born
of familiarity with situations Of the
kind, passed to and fro among the pas
sengers collecting nickels. He was an
ideal "owl" conductor, bristling with
sense of his Importance, and osten-
tatiously Indifferent to the comfort and
convenience OF his guests.
"Ez ish leemish ghar?" asked the
late wild-eyed arrival as the despot
jolted past.
The unintelligible gibberish met with
no response. Another block was passed
before the street car magnate came for
ward.
''Ez ish leemish ghar?" was repeated
somewhat petulantly by the Swede-
for he was now discovered.
Everyone but She autocrat seemed
buried in an effort to translate the jar
gon, and some even ventured so far
as to turn an inquiring eye upon the
speaker. But the glances were quickly
withdrawn. for the glitter of i'm
placable hostility in those wild eyes
had become intensified. Several more
blocks elapsed.
"Ez ish leemish ghar?"
And tbis time the potentate had
stopped close by to take fare.
"What?" snarlcd the latter, with
scornful intonation.
''Ez ish ieemish ghar?"
For a moment there was reflective
pause-his majesty was thinking.
Limits car? Yes"
well. w don't you say so? ask you
tray or four times. "-Chicngo journal.

CHUTNEY AND FOREIGN SAUCES.
Preparations That Add "a Relish to
Plain and Simple Food.
Table Talk.

Chutney is a delicious India sauce, which
is very popular in England ana is much
used by foreign cooks in ftavoring. 1t is a
mixture of acids, sweet and pungent in
gradients, with variety of havors Chut-
neys are an agreeable accompaniment to
all meats. The sweet varieties are most rel
lshed with roasts and game, while the more
highly seasoned are usually served with
fish and curries
Among the best imported chutney are the
Madras, Lucknow, India Mango, Bengal
Club and TishOrt, all of which may be
prepared in this country; but a housekeep-
er generally will not care TO make the more
troublesome varieties. A few simple reel
pcs, which will be found excellent are here
given:
Tomato Chutney.-Take four pounds of
ripe firm tomatoes pound of apples, an
ounce of crushed mustard seed, half an
ounce of grated ginger root, half a dozen
small white onions, four ounces of salt
half small teaspoonful OF cayenne, a
pound Of brown sugar, and a pint and a
half of strong vinegar. Chop the tomatoes
and put in preserve Kettle with the apples
Sliced, the onions cut up and the vinegar,
set over the fire, when not, add the sugar
and other ingredients. Let the whole boil
slowly until soft. Take from the fire, rub
through a wire sieve, and set aside 70 cool
Stir daily for three or four days. Put in
Mtde-neck bottles and seal. This is eX-
cellent and economical sauce Tor meats,
fish and entrees.
pounds of tart apples, mix with pound
of stoned tamarinds three-quarters OF
pound OF seeded raisins, a head of garlic,
two pods of red pepper, and one ounce OF
grated ginger roots. Pound all together
until reduced to a pulp Add to the mix
ture a pint of brown sugar, and d table
spoonful each OF currant Jelly and thick
tomato catsup. Blend wen with q wooden
spoon. Put in small jars and seal. mis-
cnutney improves with age, and is very
pungent.
Apple Chutney.-Pare and core five
pounds of tart cooking apples. Put them in
a preserve kettle with two pounds OF
brown sugar and two quarts of vinegar,
set over the fire to cook gently until thick
and smooth. Take UP. turn into a pan, and
add two pounds OF finely chopped sultana
raisns, a minced head OF garlic, two ounces
each of ground muStaed seed and ginger
roots four ounces of salt and three pods
of chopped red pepper. Mix well together
and let stand for eight hours; stir until per-
fectly blended, put in small jars or wide
neck bottles cork securely. ano set aside
in a cool dry place. This chutney will keep
fer years, and is a delicious sauce for meats
as well as an excellent seasoning for en-
trees and salads.
