A PAIR OF CoCoTTEs.

Toss the chicken and vegetables in it,
add little more broth, and let them
cook about Is minutes longer. By this
time the vegetables and the chicken, if
the latter is tender, will be we'll done
and the whole a rich brown stew, Take
up the chicken in mound on platter
dish, the vegetables around it, and
strain the gravy over the vegetables.
If you wish, the cocotte with its con-
tents may be placed on plate or not
and served on the table This is the way
the French peasant serves the dish and
the fashion is initiated on some of the
most elegant hotel tables in this coun-
try. Red earthenware dishes, i'm
ported for the purpose, are used. The
stew may be enjoyed if it is prepared
in any ordinary covered pot of thick
earthenware. 1t would probably be
necessary to allow little longer time
for cooking, as the shallow 'cocotte
cooks almost as rapidly asa spider.-N.

DAINTY DRESS CLOSETS.
Perfumed Pads on Ceilings and
walls Is the Latest Kink OF
Fashionable Womanhood.

Perfumed pads for trunk trays and
compartments of the dresser have
proved so satisfactory in imparting
that delicate scent which women love
that one woman has carried out the
scheme still further. She had been in
the habit of hanging sachets of her
favorite powder in her clothes closet,
but it did not seem to be as satisfac-
tory as the pads in the bureau. She
experimental by hanging sheets
around the wall and using liquid
scent, but that evaporated. Finally
she took out the pads from her trunk
and hung them on the hooks in the
dress closet. Then she thought: 'Why
not pad the closet?"
No sooner thought of than done.
Her best dress closet is now uphol-
stored over all the walls and ceiling.
She did it herself. The backing of the
pads is cheesecloth. Then there is
thick layer of cotton batting thickly
strewn with her favorite violet sachet
powder, and covering the whole is a
delicate shade of violet China silk. Be
fore fastening this lining to the walls
of the closet it was tied in comfort"
style with dainty baby ribbon, tied in
bow knots.
The pads are bound all around the
edge with violet satin ribbon, having
loops at the upper edge to hang the
pads to the wardrobe hooks. These
bindings are not "sewed to stay" at the
top, but may be easily ripped loose in
order to renew the powder at any time
Pads on the ceiling and above the
hooks are fastened with brass-headed
tacks hidden under the ribbon bows.
This luxurious closet may be imi-
tated in cheaper upholstery and be
quite as dainty. Silkolines. which come
in such delicate hues and patterns.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu.
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con.
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

CHICKEN IN CoCoTTES.
French Fashion That Is Now Being
Initiated by American Hotel
Men and Caterers.

The picturesque little dishes here il
lustrated are French stewpans of red
earthenware, in which are cooked in
broth chicken as well as young lamb
game and other tender cuts of meat
The stewpans are of about the same
material as Boston bean pots, and, like
the bean pot, it is considered quite the
correct thing to serve them with their
contents on the table. The New Eng
land housewife, we are aware, does not
expect to display a bean pot any more
than any other kitchen stew pan or pot,
but it is not an uncommon thing on the
more elegant tables outside of New
England to see it so displayed in order
to validate the claim that its contents
are genuine Boston baked beans"
The French cocotte comes in various
sizes. 1t is broad and shallow, so it's
contents are easily cooked. Cut the
chicken, to cook it in this way, in small
pieces, as you do for fricassee. Sea-
son it well and add a dozen small but
ton onions and some potatoes cut in
tiny ball form. Cover the chicken,with
half cup of white broth or veal stock
and put the cover on the dish. Set the
dish on hot range, and let the chicken
and vegetables slowly cook for half an
hour. AT the end of this time the veg
etables will be nearly done and the
broth considerably reduced and brown.

1t was at meeting in the home of
Mrs. Westervelt to form plans to aid
Mrs. Foster, the "Tombs angel" in her
work. Archbishop Corrigan took an
active interest in the proceedings, and
after Mrs. Foster had told how her self
imposed task had often been made
lighter by the deeds of those she
helped, he spoke of an experience he
once had with one just out from prison.
at was years ago." the archbishop
said, that a man who had just been
released came to me and asked that
l supply him with money to get him to
San Francisco, where he promised to
start life afresh. What claims have you
on me- l asked, that l should do this?'
My strange visitor hesitated and then
said: I entered your room one night
with evil in my heart. You were asleep
and my task was easy. 1 had taken
your watch-I can even now tell the
number of it-when something caused
me to make closer inspection of the
room, and l saw who you were. 1 put
back what had taken and departed as
empty-handed as 1 came
THE mans story decided me-" the
archbishop continued, "and 1 gave him
$500. He did as he had promised, went
far away and started new life. With
in a year 1 received $1o0 from him.
Every year since 1 have received from
the same penitent a similar sum. The

VERY FOND OF EGGS.
Idttle African Reptiles That Are Pos
sessed of Truly Remarkable
Swallowing Ability.

Among a lot of very interesting
specimens of prepared animals sent to
1he Museum of Natural History at Paris
by Father Guilleme, missionary in the
Upper Congo country, there is no
group of native adders in the act of
swallowing eggs which excited uncom-
Ron interest. The most remarkable
part is the relative size of this snake
and its common food. The adder is
rather small, it is seldom longer than
2S inches, and its thickness never ex-
ceeds half an inch. Yet it feeds regular
~ on duck eggs, the smaller diameter
of which is almost two inches.
How this snake can get such an egg
into its mouth is difficult to understand,
and the aspect of these reptiles while
swallowing the eggs is most strange.
The only way to account for this pc
ruliar manner of swallowing whole eggs
is the presence in the neck, just back
OF the head, of series of pointed bones
pointing backward and piercing the
eosophagus. These not only assist to
hold the egg in place, but act like a saw.
When the egg has advanced far enough
their pressure will cut the egg; its con
tents continue into the stomach, while
the empty shell is crushed afterward
and thrown out through the mouth.
While in the act of swallowing the
egg the snake is easily caught, for it is
ihen almost in state of complete iner-
tia; it then looks very much like the
bulb used by photographers for open
ing their shutters,-Philadelphia Rec
