ROAST WILD DUCK.

Nearly all wild ducks have an oily
or fshy flavor, which, unless removed,
makes them Objectionable to many.
Before roasting, guard against this I'M
pleasant flavor by parboiling~ them
with peeled potato and onion inside
of each bird This will absorb the I'M
pleasant taste, but the vegetables used
must be thrown away. Lay the birds
in fresh water for few minutes, stuff
with bread-crumbs seasoned with on
ion, sage, pepper and salt, with beat
en- egg to bind the mixture, place in
a quick oven and haste over till done
brown. A few fresh mushrooms cut
into bits make pleasing addition to
the stuffing. Serve with currant or
other tart jelly.
STEWED APPLES.
Pare, and with a small sharp knife
extract the cores of a dozen tart, juicy
apples; put them in deep dish, with
just water enough to cover them. Place
the dish we'll covered in the oven or ON
the stove, and cook slowly until they
are tender and clear. Then remove the
apples to bowl and cover to keep hot.
Put the juice into a saucepan with a
cupful of sugar and boil for half an
hour. Season with mace and cloves,
adding the spices 10 minutes before
you remove the syrup from the fire.
Pour hot over the apples and set away
covered until cold. Serve with cream.
PANCAKES.
A pint of milk, three eggs, little
salt, pinch Of soda and flour enough
to make rather stiff batter Beat
well and drop with a spoon into hot
deep fat and fry like doughnuts Serve
with powdered sugar or maple syrup.
MASHED PARSNTPS.
Boil and scrape the parsnips and
mash them thoroughly, carefully pick
ing out the fibres. Mix in thoroughly
three or four tablespoonfuls of cream.
small piece Of butter, and pepper and
salt to taste. Heat to the boiling
point and serve.

MATE SQUARED THINGS
Followed the Captains Idea in Puttin
Things in Log Book

Followed the Captains Idea in Putting
Things in Log Book.
A certain captain in command of a
Salem ship, which was lying in Chin
csc port, had mate who was at times
addicted to the use of strong drink. The
mate went on shore one day and in
dulged rather freely in some of the vile
compounds common in Chinese ports.
He came back to the vessel drunk as
a lord" and thought he had mort
gage on all sublunary things.
The captain was sorely troubled, as
the crew had observed the condition Of
his officer. He rarely ever touched
liquor himself, hence he more acutely
felt the disgrace imposed upon him.
One of the duties of the first officer
is to write up the 'log" each day, but
as that worthy was not able to do it on
this particular occasion, the captain
made the usual entries.
The ship left the port next day and
the mate got "sobered off," He at
tended to his writing at the proper
time, but was horror struck when he
saw what the captain had done. Upon
the bottom margin he found in bold
chirography: Mate drunk all day."
He Immediately went to the quarter
deck when the following colloquy
took place:
"Cap'n, why did you write in the
log book yesterday that was drunk
all day."
ut was true, wasn't it?"
"Well, lowing twas, it was a rough
thing to say about me-
ct was true, wasn't it,"
Eyes, but what will the owners say
if they happen to see it?"
But the mate could get nothing more
from the captain than st was true,
wasn't it,"
The next day when the captain was
examining the book he found written
upon the margin, Captain, sober all
day." He was simply appalled,, and
went on deck in high dudgeon. His first
words to the mate were:
what did you mean, you rascal, by
writing in the log that l was sober all
day yesterday"
1T was true, wasn't it, captains"
was the reply.
"You know" retorted the captain,
chat I never drink liquors, and am al
ways sober.
The captain, seemingly realizing that
the whole thing was joke, his cooler
judgment reasserted itself, and he de-
sisted from further questionings of the
mate.-Salem Gazette.

Retouched Every Tear to show the Change
of Time


There is peculiar portrait in Wash
ington which has created much interest
among those who know of its existence.
Its popularity is that every year it has
changed to show the changes which
time would have made in the original
The portrait is by Washington artist,
and is that of his wife, and was painted
many years ago when she was young
bride.
A few years after the portrait was
painted the young wife died, and so
great was the grief of the artist that
he determined to keep her likeness
with him all the time. and to do so he
decided that year by year he would
change the portrait so as to make it
grow old with him and thus keep her,
as it were. ever with him.
Every year. on the anniversary of
his wedding day, the artist locks him
self in his studio and changes the lines
of the face of the portrait, adding what
he thought would make the difference
of one year. There have been many
anniversaries of that marriage day, and
consequently many changes in the por-
trait.
To-day the picture is that of an old
woman, the hair turned gray, the face
marks of time, as made by the bursh
of the artist, can be seen the early
beauty of the bride and the attractive
ness of the young woman.-Washing

hitecture Of ancient Egypt. /.

chitecture Of ancient Egypt,
The great hall of Ell Karnak, which
is the most notable of the monuments
of Thebes of its class, is 10 feet long
and 1923 feet wide. The stone roof,
now partially in ruins, was originally
supported by 134 columns, the loftiest
of which were nearly 70 feet high and
about AZ feet in diameter. Built by
Setee l., and sculptured partly in his
reign, work upon it was continued by
his son and successor, Rameses II.
The hall commentaries, not in its
grandeur alone, but also by its sculp-
lures, the magnificence and power OF
these two Pharaohs. The sculptures
Of the interior of the walls represent
these monarchs making offerings to
the gods.

Any disease may be deadly enough

in $4,000 bail Burns was charged
with aiding and abetting Jacobs and
Kendig. He was committed in default

sci, A. S. e. Ssields, not objecting, this
was done. Mr. Shields then entered
plea of not guilty for his clients, stat
ing that they were charged only with
misdemeanors.
