OLD CATERER ON TERRAPlN.
When 1t Is Ready, the Satisfaction Is In
Eating 1t All Yourself"


eating 1t All Yourself"
James Prosser, a famous colored ca
terer of this city, dead long ago, fur
nished the following formula for pre-
pairing and serving terrapin, which was
published in a gastronomi journal at the
time when he was on earth;
"You can't enjoy terrapin unless the
day is nippin. Temperature and terra
pin go hand in hand. Now, as to your
terrapin Bless you, there is all the
difference in the world in them. The
more northerly is the terrapin found the
better. You eat a Florida terrapin-you
needn' t despise it, for terrapin is terra
pin everywhere-but you get Chesa-
peake one or a Delaware bay one, or.
better still, Long Island one, and there
is just the difference between $40 a
dozen and $50. Warm water kinder
washes the delicate flavor out of them.
Don't you let Mr.. Bergh know it, but
your terrapin must be boiled alive.
Have good big pot, with hot fire I'M
der it, so that he shan't laneuish, and
when it has got on full head Of steam
pop him in What am goin to give is
a recipe for a single one. If you are aw-
fully rich and go in for a gross Of terra
pin, just use your multiplication table.
just as soon as he caves in watch him
and try his fiippers. When they part
when you pry them with your finger
nail, he is good. Open him nicely with
a knife. Bilin Of him dislocates the
snuffbox. There amt overmuch of it,
more's the pity. The most is in the
jints Of the legs and side lockers, but if
you want to commit murder just you
smash his gall, and then your terrapin
is gone forever. Watch closely for eggs
and handle them gingerly. Now, hav-
in got him or her all into shape, put
the meat aside. Take three fresh eggs
you must have them fresh. Bile 'em
hard and mash EN- smooth Add to
that a tablespoonful of sifted flour
three tablespOonfuIs Of cream, salt and
pepper (red pepper to a terrapin is just
deprayity) and two winegIasses Of sher-
ry wine. Wine as costs &c. so a bottle
amt bit too good There never was .
gotega in all Portugal that wouldu {
think itself hOuCred to have itself mined
up with a terrapin Now you want quite
a quarter Of pound Of the very best
fresh butter and put that in porcelain
covered pan and melt it frst-mustu' t
be Drowned. When it's come to be oily.
put IN you tC~TQpiI, yOlks OF egg, wine

Some time ago Mr. James Stapleton,

tening hogs, for which he made a dill
gent though unsuccessful search. After
ninety eight days had elapsed from the

old well, in which he discovered the
missing hog. 1t was drawn from the

There are five candidates for the leg
slature and five for tax receiver in Han

Of the other two that are running, one
is crippled and the last one is laid up
with an ingrowing toe nail. From the
present outlook the one-legged candidate
stands the best chance.

Movement on Foot to Bring About an

upon to vote upon the prohibition ques-
ton. 1t is being agltated, and THE
News learns that petitions asking
that an election be ordered by the ordi~
nary will soon be circulated,
Many believe that the uispensary is
the solution of the whiskey question,
and 1T will be hard matter to induce
a majority of the people to consent to
a change now. This system of selling
whiskey has proved very satisfactory
so far, and is rapidly growing in favor
with the public.
1t has been only few months since
dIspensaries were established in Ter
rell, and 1t is the opinion of many of
the best citizens of the county that 1T
would be unwise to agitate the whiskey
question again so soon.
