HOT SUPPER DISHES.
some Fruit. Are Much Better When
They Have Been Slightly
warmed.

The cold days Of midwinter call for
comfortable, hot suppers Of rich foods
and sweets or preserves, in place of the
cooling fruits Of summer and autumn.
1t is only when we have created an ar
tifcial atmosphere within doors which
resembles that of a sultry summer day
that we find iced fresh fruit grateful
food in winter. There is considerable
doubt whether any fruit is digestible
eaten at a lower temperature than that
in which it grew il its native soil. Trop-
ical fruits, according to this theory
should never be chilled, but should be
eaten at about the temperature they
are when they hang in the tropic suns,
which would be little higher than the
temperature Of the properly regulated
dining-room. This makes, necessary
the heating Of oranges and bananas a
little. These fruits are much sweeter
when eaten with the chill taken off
from them.
Bananas and oranges, as well as pre-
served fruits of various kinds, make ex-
cellent supper fritters. Slice bananas
lengthwise after peeling. Sprinkle
them with sugar and squeeze little
lemon juice over them. Slice oranges
across the lobes at what has been called
the equator of the fruit, in even circular
slices about quarter of an inch thick.
Crate little of the yellow rind of the
orange over plate before peeling or
slicing, and dip each slice in little of
this grated peel. Scatter sugar lightly
over them. Let the sliced fruit stano a
few moments, then dip it evenly in a
fritter batter made by beating the yolks
of two eggs in bowl with tablespoon
full Of lemon juice and a tablespoonful
of olive oil or melted butter, or tried
out chicken fat; sift in heaping cup
full of flour, and little by little add just
water enough to make thick batter.
Set it away at this stage well covered
for a day, and when it is needed, add
the beaten whites Of two eggs. Dip
the prepared slices of bananas or those
of oranges in this batter, coating each
one thinly on both sides, and fry them
two minutes in very hot fat. They
should be golden brown on each side.

0vERcRoWDED LONDON.
Gigantic Schemes Are Deing consid-
cred to Relieve the Congestion
OF the Streets.


The overcrowded condition Of Lon
don is causing such men as Sir John
Wolfe Barry, and the Society of Arts
in London a great deal Of trouble.
He and some other eminent engi-
neers have been writing and talking
on this subject for years and they have
been pointing out that If London is to
grow as it has been and Keep pace
with the requirements of the greatest
city in the world, that some radical
and revolutionary improvements must
be made in the widths of streets. 1t
is pointed out that London with its
population of 100000 cannot much
longer cvade this question.
What will be the traffic, it is asked,
thrown on our streets in the next 80
year when London's population win be
12,00O,OOO?
Mr.. Barry furnishes estimates Of
cost of widening streets and of cross
ing of east and west and north and
south traffic by means of bridges
over or under the streets at six of the
important places Of intersection, name
ly Hyde Park Corner, Piccadilly Cir
Gus, Wellington street, the Strand,
Southwark Bridge road, and Upper
Thames street.
A great thoroughfare to be 1875 feet
wide, cut right through London from
west to east, with subsidiary connec-
tions, would be 81 miles long. Much
of the property is valuable for residen-
: tial purposes, but the mighty interests
at stake may demand its removal.
The estimated cost of this new street
would cost little under $3O,000,OOO.
The purpose is to relieve the over
crowded condition of thoroughfares.
The west and east traffic at Hyde
Park corner would pass under sunk
en- road. At Piccadilly circus it would
go through tunnel of 1S0 yards. At
Ludgate Hill, low viaducts and bridges
would be built. At Oxford street the
west and east traffic would cross over
Toppingham court road, raising the
grade Of a portion of Oxford street
two or three feet.
Provision has to be- made for 49,
$50 omnibuses, 14,9OO cabs and car
riages, 9,700 carts and other vehicles.
The hourly traffic involves an expendi-
ture of $4,000 per hour-the loss of 20
per cent. of this traffic by delay is the
basis of the justification of the pro-
posed improvement
That these improvements wiH event.
ually be made goes without saying.
London is oyercrowded, is hampered
by hundreds Of narrow streets, and is
magnet for trade and commerce
which will multiply existing incon-
veniences to an uncomfortable degree

Then, too, it takes him about twice as

cashier. He considers it his duty to ex-
change airy persifage with each Gus
toner as he leaves the shop, and by
the time he gets back to you your face
is caked in cold lather. This usually
happens four OF five times while you are
getting shaved, and you may consider
yourself lucky If a salesman for per-
tumery or soap house doesn't come in
to talk up his wares. In that event you
are bound to be kept in waiting for ten

base, thereby retiring the runner, who
had started for the plate. Then he ran
toward second and met the runner and
touched him out. He had made
triple play unassisted.
THE umpire had called two strikes
on the first man up for our side when
the opposing twirler made tremen-
dously wild pitch, the ball going about
four feet over the catcher's head. Our
batter had the presence of mind to
strike at it, and he easily made first be-
fore the catcher could recover the ball.
The second man let the ball hit him,
and the third singled, thereby filling
the bases. Then McGuggenheimer
came up to bat, and we noticed that his
club was REINFORCED with steel bands.
",rhe first ball pitched, PUNK hit out,
and, to the CONSERVATION of the This
ties, it could not be found. While they
were chasing wildly around looking
for 1t all of our runners scored. Just as
PUNK was crossing the plate the first
baseman discovered the ball McGug-
genheimer had driven 1t out with such
force that 1t had penetrated the canvas
of the first base and had lodged inside
the bag. 1t was so firmly imbedded In
the sandbag that it took five minutes
to extract it.
1.-THE second time PUNK came to bat
he drove the ball eight inches into the
ground, just in front of the plate. The
pitcher and catcher dug frantically, bu
before they could exhume the bal
PUNK had scored. Every ball he hit HI
banged to pieces, and seven new onei
were used in the course of the game.
1.-The Whistling Thistles were so ner
vous after that that every time McGug
genheimer batted they threw them
selves on the ground to escape injury
And they were so generally upset tina
we easily defeated them by the scor
of 40 to Z.

lowed to ramble about the Balmoral es-
tate, to visit the tenants, and sometimes
to stay to tea.
One farm was favorite resort, and
one afternoon, tea over, good Mrs. D
looked round anxiously, perplexed to
provide amusement for a Princess, pre-
sumably satiated with toys and joys of
every kind.
"What can do to amuse your Royal
HighnessT' she asked, and was prompt
ly met by the reply: "Oh, Mrs. D, do

do it at home, and 1 do so love it."
Permission was gladly given, and the
child danced to her hearts content on

SOLID BRICKS OF YELLOW.

Gold Cubes as They Reach the Mint
Need Not Be Avoided.
A paragraph In the New York letter
of the Ledger stated that there had
been received at one of the banks a
lump of gold from British Columbia
weighing 1897 ounces, in shape of
cone, Is inches high and "a inches in
circumference at the base, and valued
at $135,275. At the United States mint
in this city it was stated yesterday to
a Ledger reporter that 1t was unusual
to ship gold in such large masses. 1t
must have been cooled in a crucible,
which was broken from it, judging
from it's shape. No such masses had
ever been received at the mint.
The usual form of gold bricks is that
of an ordinary brick, the very largest
being valued at about $4,000 and
weighing about 1900 ounces. That such
bricks are not easily handled was cas-
lily demonstrate by the reporter, who
was allowed to lift from a truck a
brick from the Denver assay office,
Sx4x3A inches in size. 1t was just the
size of a building brick, only three
quarters of an inch thicker, but 1t
weighed ninety pounds and was valued
at S21 900. Though small, it could not
easily have been gotten away with.
Very little gold as it comes from the
mines is received at the mint A few
small lots brought by the early Klon-
dixie miners is all that has been seen
from Alaska. The dust, or flakes, is
taken to the nearest assay office, prob
ably at Seattle, and there sold to the
Government, which purchases all that
is offered. 1t usually contains more OF
less silver or copper or both metals. II
NAV be refined at the assay office, but Is
usually refined at the mint. Many
bricks shown to the reporter looked like
silver, the proportion of one-third OF
that metal giving them that appear
ance. Some small bricks, worth abou
$4,000 apiece, were shown which haC
been refined to 99S parts in 1000, prac
tlcally pure gold. These were for {
prominent watch case mandatory TO
use in its business. Chemically pur'
gold is made only for testing purposes
