COOKERY IN BOLIVIA.
The National Dish, Chupe. and How
ID IL Prepared.


IL IL Prepared.
The stoves of the Bolivian Indians
are curious things. A hole is dug in
the ground about 1S inches deep and
foot square, and over this is built a
roof of clay with holes of different
sizes to receive the various cooking
pots. Roasting is done on spits pass
ed through the holes, so that the meat
comes out very much smoked unless
great care Is taken to have only live
Goals at the bottom of the oven.
The national dish and the common
food of the masses is "chupe," sort
of first cousin to the Irish stew. 1t is
conglomerate, composed of irregular
constituents from the animal and vege-
table Kingdoms, a mess of mutton and
such other meats as are available;
chicken, fish, fruits, potatoes, carrots,
barley, corn, rice, onions, yams, etc,
chopped up. highly seasoned with pep
pers and herbs and stewed to con-
sistency of porridge. What happens
to be left from one meal SINNERS in
the pot until the next. If the fire goes
out, the "chupe" Is allowed to cool,
but 1t Is warmed up again and a new
supply of the ingredients added to the
water logged and greasy stuff for the
next meal.
In the cities, at the hotels and res
taurants where there are French or
Swiss cooks. the "chupe" is savory and
palatable, but the farther you go from
the centers of civilization the worse 1t
gets One eats 1t at first under pro-
test, then from necessity and only to
escape starvation, but finally the stom-
ach rebels, and you limit your diet to
boiled eggs and fruit, which are usual
ly to be obtained, but the experienced
traveller always takes canned meat and
bread with hlm.-Sucre (Bolivla) Let

STREET PARADE FLOATS.

Many DimcuIt Problems to BE Met In
Their Construction.
"The making of decorative street
floats is a difficult trade" said New
Orleans scenic artist who has had
plenty of experience in the line he men
toned. "Thcre are so many things
to be considered. For instance, n float
must look well both near and far. 1t
must be able to stand dash of rain.
1t must be light enough to go over any
kind of street and solid enough to re-
sist gust of wind, and, most lmpor-
tant of ALL it must be so constructed
that it will appear all right to folks in
upper windows
Some years ago a young designer
from the north made several small
models for tableau cars that charmed
everybody who looked at them. They
were certainly very beautiful and nov
ell, but when | was called in as an ex-
pert l said at once that they wouldn't
do. They were designed to be viewed
from the banquette only, and from n
second story window every particle of
effect would have been lost. More
over, lot of hidden mechanism was
certain to be discovered at any eleva-
tion above 10 feet
"The young artist frankly admitted
| was right and abandoned the job
He said it involved entirely too many
optical problems to suit him. When
make my drawings for float, | cal
culate on a visual sweep OF 30 de-
grees. That goes from the level Of
children on the pavement to people
looking almost straight down from the
upper floors of tall buildings. Unless
such precaution is taken the car is
certain to be failure. New orleans

FIRST AMERICAN PATENT.

Granted at Boston In 1913 and CALI
ed n Monopoly.
TO the general court of Massachu-
setts belongs the honor of granting the
first American patent. This was in
164S and was then designated as
monopoly. 1t was confined to the re-
gion controlled by Massachusetts, and
the one issue apparently included all
the invention of the inventor connect
ed with engines that depended upon
water for their motive power. The
limit of the monopoly was IA years,
and the court not only retained power
to forbid expectation, but to prevent
eXorbitant charges upon the public for
their use.
The patent was issued in this form:
"JENKES MONOPOLYE.

WIND LYRICS.

East wind
Through gates Of pearl, with sapphire set,
steal at dawn to fly, while yet
The clouds with silver dew are wet.
On wings that brush the morning star
M song afar.
North wind
From fields of frozen stars blow,
| bear the fragile flowers of snow
That fall upon the earth below
With pure celestial lips to bless
In soft
South wind
On wings OF perfume, born OF spring,
Sweet memories Of the south bring;
From birds and blossoms pink that fling
10 heavn their gladness in an ecstasy
OF melody.
West wind
Back through the gates Of gold and rose,
Where late the star OF evening glows,
slip, before the evenings close.
On pinions woven Of a sigh,
Into the night seem to die
But, hush! The night will soon pass by.
Before the lark, when morning breaks,
The east wind wakes.
