Of few insurgents whom nobody could have
restrained Continuing, King George said:
1.-THE truth Is we were attacked because Tur-

have been war but for certain intrigues which
will appear later. All the Powers are more or
less against US If they wanted war, they have
got it, Such is the result of the European con-

A Humming Birds Umbrella

In front of window where I worked
last summer was a butternut tree. A
humming bird built her nest on a limb
that grew near the window, and we had
an opportunity to watch her closely. In
fact, we could look right into the nest
One day when there was heavy shower
coming up, we thought we would see if
she covered her young during the rain.
Well, when the first drops came she
came and took in her bill one of two or
three large leaves growing close by and
laid this leaf over the nest so as COM
pletely to cover It; then she flew away.
On examining the leaf we found a hole
in it, and in the side of the nest was a
small stick that the leaf was fastened
to or hooked upon. After the storm was
over the old bird came back and un-
hooked the leaf and the nest was per-
fectly dry.-American Sportsman.

To Prepare Oysters.

Roasted Oysters-Wash thoroughly
and lay on hot Goals, or in shallow
pan on the top of the stove, the deeper
she'll downward until they open wide.
Take off the loosened upper shell care
fully, to retain the juice, and lay upon
hot platter, or upon hot plates, a bit
of butter upon each steaming oyster,
and send at once to table. Pass pepper,
salt and sliced lemon, also pepper sauce,
that the eaters may have their choice
of seasoning.
Creamed Oysters-One quart of oys-
ters; one cupful of milk with a tiny
pinch of soda dissolved in 1T; one cup
full of liquor; three tablespoonfuls of
flour; one egg; juice of half lemon;
pepper and salt Cook the butter and
-four together until they bubble; add
the milk and the oyster liquor, and stir
until you have a thick sauce. Into this
drop the oysters, freed from their
liquor. Have ready an egg beaten
light in a cup, mix some of the hot
sauce with 1T, turn all back into the
saucepan, stir one minute-not longer
and take from the fire. Season with
Pepper, salt and lemon juice. Have
ready buttered scallop-shells fill them
with the creamed oysters, sprinkle
lightly with crumbs, dot thickly with
bits Of butter, and brown delicately in
a quick oven. Eat very hot.
Planned Oysters (No. 1.)-Heat a
dozen pate pans, and lay a scant half
teaspoonful Of butter in each. Fill with
raw oysters from which all the juice
has been drained, cover closely and
cook for ten minutes in a quick oven,
or until the oysters plump and ruff1e.
Send to table in the pans with a firm
sauce of lemon juice, butter and parsley
beaten light
Planned Oysters (No. 2)-Butter the
heated pans and fit in the bottom of
each round of buttered, peppered and
salted toast. Lay the drained oysters
upon this cover and cook Serve in
tins. If you have silver pate pans, Ahis
is really an elegant dish, and one that
preserves the flavor OF the oysters to
perfection
Rroiled Oysters (No. 1.)-Drain fine
fat oysters and dry we'll by laying them
upon a cloth, covering with another
and gently patting the upper. Sprinkle
with salt and paprica, or cayenne, and
broH upon a hot buttered gridiron
Heat the liquor strained from them
and add a white roux--a tablespoonful
10 q cup Of liquor-boil up; season
with kitchen bouquet and serve in a
gravy boat with the oysters. These
should go TO table in a hot water dish.
Broiled Oysters (No. 2)-Salt and
pepper large fine oysters, roll them In
fine cracker dust and broil upon a well
creased wire oyster broiler for three
minutes, turning twice. Serve upon
rounds of buttered toast. put a little
sauce Of lemon juice beaten up with
butter on each, and serve in hot
water dish.
Fried Oysters-Drain and wipe fine,
large oysters, dip each first In cracker
dust (peppered and salted), then in
beaten egg and again in the cracker
dust, and arrange upon a large cold
platter. Set upon ice for half an hour
and fry in butter that has been grad
ually brought to boil. Cook a few at
a time. and If the crumbs come off in
the fat, strain them out before the next
installment goes in.-National Cook
