Substantial But Not Dainty Dishes
Served ny Farmers.

FTom the &. Louis Post Dispatch.)
About twelve years ago, when the first
gold rush took place 10 the Witwatersrand
gold fields. the place was only approached
by road; there were no railways for some
years afterward. LAUNDERING mail coaches
brought the miners from Kimberley or Ma
tai to Johannesburg. The coaches were
drawn by teams OF sixteen mules.
On the road were stopping places where
the teams were changed ard the passen-
gers refreshed. These houses were usually
Boer farms, and the farmers made a good
thing out OF dispensing hospitality 10 way
farers.
Usually the bill OF fare was spelled in
an extraordinary way. The following is a
copy of one Of these wayside menus: Kury
brisemuth, rise chis. cofe.
The translation IS; Curry, braised NUT
ton, rice. cheese coffee.
In the middle Of long table stood the
dishes. Everyone helped himself by dig

everything was dirty and unappetizing.
But the farmers wives are clever al
making homemade preserves and they
particularly excel in naartje comfyt a
preparation Of tangerines preserved in
sugar syrup. Slices Of melon. pumpkin
and ounces are also preserved this way.
The clingstOne, or yellow peach, which
grows on every farm, makes a splendid
jam, and dries eNeellently. But the best
preserve is called mebos. Il Is made Of

II the Christian Scientists had only 20
deal with Christian Scientists there might
well be a larger liberation for their va
carries. The practice OF their heaters
would contain within itself the seeds of
extinction. But in the application of
Christian Science methods among unbe-
levers and children and invalids who can
not help themselves there is manifest dan
ger. For example, there is an epidemic
OF measles in the city of Buffalo. and tha
Courier OF that city says that the health
commission has found il almost imDossi5 bio
to check the spread Of the disease in tfa5
community because the Christian Sciea-
fists, who deny the existence OF coutagion,
insist upon sending children from infected
families into the secular and Sunday
schools. regardless of the danger to other
pupils. They also allow their OWE children
TO play on the streets when recovering
from the messles. regardless Of the danger
of relapse and OF the possibility OF com
municating the disease to others. The
Courier rightly denounces such conduct
as criminal
The Christian Scientists undoubtedly
have the right to believe whatever they
can bring themselves to believe: but when
they go to the extreme Of endangering
the lives of other people by disregard of
proper sanitary regulations for the pro-
lection OF the public health the community
should proceed TO take care OF itself by
whatever means Of legal prevention may
be necessary. Lunatics are not allowed
to go at large, nor lepers. nor persons
suffering with smallpox. Why should q
