Various Ways to Serve This Season.
able Crustacean.
There are three varieties Of crabs
soft crabs, hard crabs and oyster crabs
Hard crabs can be found alive or par
boiled like Holsters, and it is also posi-
bic to obtain crab meat in bulk, not what
is known as canned crabs. To prepare
soft crabs for cooking wash them care
fully-these crabs should always be
alive when purchased, otherwise they
are not good-lift the flaps and remove
the sand bag, gills and intestine; dry
them well and dredge with salt and
pepper. Soft crabs can he broiled and
fried, either with or without butter or
crumbs. The popular manner is fried.
Roll them in -four and fry in gener-
Gus amount of butter. When done-they
require only few minutes-place on a
hot dish. To the butter in the frying
pan add little lemon juice Strain this
over the crabs. Broiled crabs are deli
cious. Place them on broiler and cook
over very slow fire, broiling on both
sides When a light brown, they are
done. Serve with maitre d'hotel sauce
on circles Of toast, with a garnish Of
water cress and quartered lemons.
If the hard crabs are procured alive,
put them in hot water head first. After
five minutes add one teaspoonful Of salt
and boil for 30 minutes. When alive
the crabs, like lobster, are greenish,
when boiled, red. A savory entree or
luncheon dish is called deviled crabs.
Boil dozen hard crabs and remove the
meat very carefully. Put in double
boiler one cupful of cream, and when it
is scalded add one tablespoonful Of -four
and Is tablespoonfuls of butter which
have been rubbed together. Stir until
smooth and thick; then add the mashed
yolks Of four eggs, one teaspoonful of
salt, one-half teaspoonful paprica and
add the crab meat Place the mixture

ly dried. Smooth the tops and sprinkle

SURE DEATH IN DRINKS
France Is Frightened Over the
Consumption OF Absinth.

France is getting frightened over the
evils of absinth drinking, and system.
atic crusade has been organized against
the consumption of the deceptive liquor.
Drinking shops In the poorer quarters
Of Paris are open at o'clock In the
morning, and even then there are SILVER
ing men and women who have braved the
nipping air to "kill the little worm," as
they call their thirst for drink. In the
poor quarters, writes Eduard Page Gas
ton, have seen by night little groups Of
women put their drink money into a COM
mon fund SO the amount of alcohol may
be bit larger than IL they had bought
separately, and they drink it oftentimes
in its full strength. This use of meat"
drinks is steadily growing. So fierce is
the appetite for the strongest Installations
that the law compels chemists to sell
methylated spirits only in colored form,
which means that they are poisoned. Al
cohol from wood IL deadly, but popular
with them. In Paris they drink ether, in
the north of France turpentine is grow
ing in popularity, and here and there
case is found where kerosene oil is taken,
although this is generally done secretly.
Petroleum especially has terrible effect
and causes severe vomiting and other
sickness until the stomach becomes in
ured to the horrible practice.
Normandy is the most drunken Of all
the departments in the republic. While
the fishermen and peasantry of the north
coast are bad enough as men. the women
are worse. So besotted have many of
these people become that they work but
five hours week, earning but enough for
the barest necessities of life and to keep
themselves in drink. So keen is the de-
sire for liquor that on the farms, after
the apples have been pressed for cider
making, they are put through fermenta-
ton and another milling to gain further
intoxicant from the rancid mass. Much
the same Is done with grapes in some
sections.
