It is customary with a real ''Vir-

time until nearly tender, and then slice
from that for broiling or frying to
serve with eggs. FANS c. strips of

and preserving of fruit, it should be
remembered that q quart of fruit must
be measured in 4 quart measure. rot in

size, but are never q full ScTiptural
quart. Fruits and vegetables should
be sold here as they are abroad, by the
weight, instead of by measure. sr
After q ham has been boiled, and be-
fore getting entirely cold, it will be
found q good plan to wrap around it a
long strip of thin. old muslin. tying 1t
on with a string. This may be turned
back as fast as the ham is sliced, while
in the meanwhile it keeps the edible
from the intrusion of would-be familiar
flies.

poared before the court of Denmark
one night and recited such portions of
the Danes sayings as he had studied
with special care. and under Shake
spearean tutors. The good queen was
eraciously interested, and tits said that
she planned to have one of the royal
house accompany Col. Carr to Elsinore
and point out the path on which the
ghost walked for Horatio, Marcellus
and Bernardo
In consideration of this, as well as
other royal favors, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, Col. Carr reciprocated by
inviting the court to breakfast at his
expense, and had induced the family to
accept on the promise that he would
serve hot corn mullins.
The colonel is somewhat of farmer,
and when he went abroad he took, in
addition TO his baggage and library, sew
eral barrels Oh fine cornmeal. The corn
meal mullins were served, and the king
and queen passed their plates several
times. for the event was quite demo-
cratic. AS Col. Carr said TO a friend, in
describing it: There were no crowns
or royal robes or forgery present"
Out of this breakfast came Col. Carr's
scheme for an American-European
maize syndicate. .As'the writer was in

is for Col Carr to furnish American
corn from Illinois principally, TO be
dropped in European soil, which will

This kris differs from an ordinary
dagger both in the shape of the blade,
which is succession Of curves instead
of being straight, and in the fact that
it is made of several thin strips OF steel
welded together instead of being one
piece The Welding is done in an eX-
tremely primitive manner by laying the
hot steel on top of stone and pounding
it with a stone hammer. The edges OF
these strips are rough and give the ap-
pearance of grain" not unlike some
coarse fibered wood. The blade is IL
inches long and fits into wooden
sheath shaved something like Ratchet.
The kris is the instruments used IN
