He Rides n Bicycle Mt Sen.

From the Buffalo Courier.
Capt. George Howe of the good coal
barge Delaware, plying between New Eng
land and southern coal ports, is a lover of
the bicycle, but as much of his time is
spent in sailing over the bounding deep he
has but little opportunity to push along
the steady ground he finds ashore But
Capt Howe is the man who adapts him.
self to circumstances. He commands one
of the largest barges afioat. The Della ware
was formerly the Spanish steamship Muir
ciano. She was designed for an ocean grey
hound, and her fine lines are Indicative Of
a speedy model. She was used both as a
passenger and freight steamer up to the
time she went ashore near Chesapeake bay
1t cost SO much to float the steamer after
her mishap that her owners abandoned her
and she was sold for a song and convert ed
into coal barge.
The barge is 80 feet long, with a good
breadth of beam, and so Capt. Howe has
at his disposal a GOO-foot cycle track and
he uses it, Capt. Howe never collides with
any other wheelmaE on it; no bad person
ever sprinkles lacks there, and no bulldog
ever reaches for the captains trousers as
he spins along on the Atlantic ocean
coast that carries the wheel way to the
stern, and to get back to the other tack is
easy. There would be an occasional draw
back for landsman trying this sport in
mId-ocean, Tor sometimes the deck sud-
denly comes up beneath the wheel and
then suddenly gets away from under it.
But the Delaware, even when fully loaded
is not awash nor is her deck unprotected
as is the case with many barges. She has
four strong iron rails above the sides of
her hull, and If the cyclist takes a header
seward he is sure to stop at these guards
Moreover, header exctes no sarcastic
remarks as the crew are well trained and
when they feel funny they go into their
quarters.

The Dcfenses of the St. Lawrence.
Here at Quebec you see something OF the
defenses which Canada has been construct
ing within recent years. She has dredged
the st. Lawrence so that the biggest ocean
built such set of canals that small steam
ers can get clear to the head of Lake SUI
perior. The dredging of the ST. Lawrence
has made Montreal the chief seaport of
Canada. and Quebec is now more than ever
purely city of defense. The city has been
called the Gibraltar of America. 1t is

boundaries to clean the barnacles off of his
men-of-war. The Canadians have six good
dry docks in which their naval vessels can
be cleaned. They have five of these on the
Atlantic coast, and there is a magnificent
one at the entrance to Puget sound, on
the Pacific. Canada has within recent
years been steadily improving her defenses.
The Canadian Pacific railroad, which is
one of the best-equipped lines in the world,
was largely built for this purpose and the
line of steamers which goes from Vaacou-
yer to Hong Kong is subsidized by Eng

THICK AND THIN MEAT.
A Novel Classfficat ton of the Worlds
Population.

Novel Classification of the Worlds
Population.
From the New York Mail and Express.
A member of the Professional Woman's
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 pow
erful physical nature of the Anglo-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 epigrams and into flrny
affairs he calls ''rosbif."
The Arabs cuts his meat into a thin rib
ben, wraps 1t around an iron skewer, broils
it over a charcoal fire, and 10, and behold.
there is the famous kabob. Strange to
say. 1t is very rare for the Anglo-Saxon to
cut his meat thin, just as Ii is rare for the
eastern races to serve it in massive por-
lions. Yet we could improve our daily bill
Of fare, especially in the summer season,
by adopting many of the dishes and meth
DDS of these other races.
Thus the kabob system may be applied to
any kind of fest or fowl, and produces a
crisp, palatable and nourishing culinary
creation. Another series of pleasant dishes
is made by cutting meat into long strips
about the size of lead pencil and frying
them, after they have been sailed and pep
pered, 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 keeI the juice within the fiber.
These pencils, when cooked properly, are
clean, delicious, brittle and very appetite
ing.
Still another system comes from Italy
and Spain in that very attractive prepara-
ton known as fritas. These consist of lit
tie pieces of meat about the size of a
hickory nut. One will be made of beef.
another of lar1b a third of chicken, a
fourth of duck, a fifth of coriIed 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 a Glove of garlic, sailed. nep-
pered and usually touched with a drop or
two of onion juice. They are tlten dipped
in batter and fried over 4 very hot fire.
When they come out all look alike. so that
the guest has the additional attraction of
novelty. variety and surprise.
The toughness Of the kidney disappears
almost entirely If 1t be Gu. with sharp
knife as fine as Saratoga chips, an1 bet =
ter still. if it be put through meat cutting
machine and reduced to a mere pulp. The
81 eat advantage of this style of prcDara-
ton Is that 1t makes meat absolutely safe
All flesh is liable to contain within its
fibers the germs and even the bodies of in
ternal parasites. These are killed by the
high temperature and long exposure: new

served upon the best tables in the land
there are underdone cen1ers where these
organisms may be alive. The eater does
hardly discernible to the naked eye. Cut
ting it fine or thin, however, and then cook
ing it even for few minutes absolutely
destroys all life.
