To Prepare Game For tho Table.

Certain birds do not require to be drawn,
in the estimation Of epicures. These are
the woodcock, snipe and golden plover, al
though as concession To the prejudice of
some the plover is sometimes drawn, but
an important point TO remember is that
game should never be washed inside, but
merely wiped with clean cloth
With few exceptions game should never
be underdone, while If overdone 1t tough
ems and is ruined: Wild duck, teal and
pigeon are the exceptions, which should
be rather underdone Next TO the open
fire, the double roasting pan gives it tho
best result, and frequent basting is impera-
tive.
Slices OF fat bacon skewered over the
breast will improve most game, and in the
case of quails, ortolans and such small
birds some cooks add vine leaf
In the case of young game there is no
better way Of cooking than roasting or
broilng, but it is often necessary to cook
old birds, and from these no end of tooth
some dishes can be made in the way OF
pies, gelatins, ragouts, soups, etc.-New

DIR. JUNKER'S ESCAPE.

Dr. Junker, the Russian explorer, who
ala not see white person for years
while no was studying the natives and
natural history of the upper Mobangi-
Makua River. made use of an ingenious
expedient 70 get to the coast on his way
home in 1886. He could not descend the
Nile, for the Mahdists blocked the way.
he could not follow the beaten road by
way of Victoria Nyanza, for the Wagsnda
and other tribes had been killing whites,
and il they did not murder Junker they
would at least detain him rs prisoner
Arab traders would not take him in their
caravans for fear they would lose the
friendship of the native chiefs along the
road. At last the doctor went to one of
the traders with this proposal:
You cannot take me with you rs a
friend" he said, 'but you can take me
as slave. Look at this. Ana DIR.
Junker showed tho trader an order writ
ten in Arabic and signed by well-known
firm in Zanzibar, authorizing tho doctor
to make any arrangements he desired
with the Arabs of Central Africa, and
the firm would honor his drafts.
Now, continued DIR. Junker, 81 have
written out contract, and If you will
sign Ii with me l shall reach tho coast.
1t provides that when you deliver me
alive at Zanzibar the sum Of $500 (Aus-
trian thslers) will bs paid to you by this
firm. You cannot take me with you as a
traveller or friend, and you must there
fore take Inc as slave"
The bargain was made on this basis. In
passing through the hostile tribes tho
white man WAS represented to be a slave
who had been purchased from q negro
tribe further north. As a slave be passed
muster even at the court of cruel King
Mwanga, and was allowed to pass in
peace with his supposed master. From

Once upon time our friends the allo-
paths, declared that all other men who
assumed the title NJ. d. were quacks.
That wasn't very long ago, either and
medical practices act Of that day would
surely have shut out the followers OF
Hahnemanp. Today, however, the "rcgu-
lars and the "irresulars" of one kind
and another get more or less together to
combat the tendency of public sentiment
to pursue its fancy or its Judgment as to
whether pills or prayer, water cure or
what not are the more etiicacious when
tho body is distressed. And legislatures
are induced TO pass absurd laws "regulat-
ing medical practice, which really means
an attempt TO regulate the freedom OF
action on the part of the individual In
the very important matter of his life and
health, and OF course that can never ba
really accomplished. Our friends, the NJ
ID. q claim the peculiar privilege OF keep
ing us alive or killing us off, homeopsths
and allopaths together, though 1t Is only
few years ago that the latter would
have shut out the former from a share in
the amazing privilege. There is lots of
nonsense in this world

NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS. +"


Mr.. Clarence Cook contributes to the
Decent Der Century an article on 1.-The
Author of "A Visit From st, Nicholas, I"
Clement g. Moore. Mr.. Cook says OF
the origin OF the familiar poem:
Mr. William $. Peiletreau, in the in
telesting account of DIR. Moore's life.
which he has just published, tells us that
the "Visit from st Nicholas" was writ
ten in 1922 as a Christmas present for his
children: and that young lady visiting
the family copied IL into her album, and
sent it, unknown To DR. Moore, to the
editor of the Troy Sentinel, who printed
1t, without the authors name, In the
issue of that journal for December %
1928. From the newspaper it found its
way to the school readers, and speedily
become great favorite with children all
over the country.
Mr. Pelletreau tells Us that DIR. Moore
was at first annoyed by the appearance or
the poem in print, as he had not intended
1t for the public. and thought il a mere
trifle with but slight literary merit No
doubt 1t was with some misgivings that,
twenty years lator. he gave it place in
the volume of his collected poems. With
the proverbial blindness of writer's, he
probably thought this playful sally, writ
ten to please his youngsters at their
Christmas merry making far inferior to
its all-forgotten companions, of which he
says in his preface: "Some of them have
cost me much time and thought, and ]
have composed them all as carefully and
correctly as l could"

DOES THE STATE HIRE MEN TO
LIE?

Quite aside from the merits OF the case
I of the State Board OF Health against the
Christian Scientists arrested under the
medical practices act, and heard before
/ the lower court yesterday. the disclosures
ss to how evidence was secured on which
! 90 bring the cases must be startling to
, the average citizen of repute who holds
ever in contempt the liar and can never
recognize necessity for the lie.
According TO their own admissions, two
/. employees of the city went to the healers
accused ana lied to them. as they were
\ Instructed to do, declaring they were
suffering from physical ailment. when that
! was not So TO call this lie is the plain
Z English of it. That such practice was
invoked in the name of the law and good
order seems we'll nigh Incredible.
Upon the testimony Of confessed per-
] 5ursrs then. the cases are brought. And
one of the questions that a higher court
may we'll be called upon to decide is, how
!. far anything these witnesses of the State
may say is worthy of credence after tn Is
confession.
! There is another point of public interest
aEout this astounding revelation, and that
(; IS who Is responsible for the instructions
that led to this coEtemptlble action of pub
lilo servants? Does the municipality or tine
government of tho sovereign State re-
qairs Of its employees that they shall lie to
promote the ends of justices Are salaries

sionf Ons of these witnesses was a grown
man. whose moral equipment Is only Of
concern to the public in that honesty In
public officials is always counted on. But
on the other hand, one was boy, young
man employed in city hall. Has he
father? Has he a mother? Does instruction
in lying go with the education of youth
In public affairs as praotioed in our city
ballf How many parents would care to
seek positions for their boys in the public
offices II 1t Is to be understood that they
are likely TO be called upon to tell lies for
the benefit of the municipality, the State
Board of Health, or any other agency?
Evidently. even If there is any case
against the parties charged with wrong
under the medical practices act, 1t would
be far better that that act and every other
! ON the statute book be wiped out rather
than that public employees especially one
of youthful age, whose moral character Is
evidently not wholly formed. should be
taught to lie to assist their enforcement
1t is an abomipahle idea.
We deeply sympathize with the young
man who has been tempted to thus de-
grade himself under the delusion created
! by his superiors that he was thereby pro-
moting the public service and performing
public duty.

Oscar of Sweden and Norway is probably
the most cultured prince now sitting on
any throne. Besides being "a great linguist,
speaking no less than seven languages

ability, and his poems are not only widely
read throughout Sweden, but have been
translated in several foreign tongues. A

an eloquent orator and an enthusiastic

left side under an accordion-pleated frill
OF creamy chiffon. The sleeves are like
wise embroidered and ruched, the effect
of fullness at the top being produced by
some frills of the chiffon, and it also ap-
pears at the wrists. At the waist Is q
wide pink satin ribbon, that is held in
place with q steel buckle encrusted with
coral. A handsome branching ornament
is worn in the hair. The slippers are OF
plain pink satin entirely unadorned.
A white muslin dress, charming in its
perfect simplicity, is delightful model
for q slender maiden; it is made over a
slip of pink glace. The odd square collar
is made of the muslin and two rows of in
sertions of Valenciennes lace, but it is
edged all around with a pink lisse irill,
accordion pleated. The sleeves are
wrinkled ell the way up and have
very small puffs at the top and
lisse ruffles fall over the hands. The
waistband is of pink glace taffeta ribbon,
and is tied in frisky bow at the left side.
The muslin skirt has three rows Of the in
sertion about three inches in width,
placed at regular intervals; the last comes
just below the knees, and forms heading
for the very full accordion ploated Iisse
ruff1e, which has two rows of insertion
around the bottom. The lisse is an ex-
travagance, am quite ready to admit, but
it adds so greatly to the frock's beauty
that am in favor Of having it whenever
