HOW SANDPIPER WENT TO BED.
Roy and his papa had had a glorious day to-
gether on Wamscut Lake. OF all the good times
and there were many of them. to be had in the
little camp where the Hartwells spent their sum-
mer vacations-Roy liked best those long fishing
excursions with his father. And how good the
dinner always tasted when they would land at
some shady nook and cook the fish over the fire of
twigs and branches for their MONDAY meal!
This day had been a lucky one for both the
hshers. for Roy had made his first good catch and
now he gazed proudly at the string pickerel and
black bass beside him, which weighed down the
little boat. they rowed slowly homeward and
trailed its smell of fish through the soft air At
last they turned into the narrow stream that flowed
beside their camping ground. when suddenly low
clear "peetweet!" heard.
Roy turned to look, and there skimrnins along
over the water, and giving his queer little whistle
as he came was strange. dark bird like none that
Roy had seen before
1T is a sandpiper." said Roy's father in low
voice, as the bird drew slowly nearer. "Sit STILL
and will watch him. See, he is almost be-
side us
The two dropped their and sat quite STILL
while the little boat scarcely stirred in the lazy
current. They were the sandy bank of the
stream. and the bird came closer he seemed to
pause in his long, zigzag flight. then with quick
motion darted to the shore. The had set nearly
an hour before. but the clouds the western
treetops still bright with red and gold. and
Roy could see plainly the pretty round marks on
the birds white breast and the dull brownish gray
of its back and wings
That is the spotted sandpiper." said Mr. Hart
well. "Do you the spots? 1t is his bedtime.
Let us watch what he will do
oh but he is going into the water said Roy. in
excited whisper. and he nearly knocked his oar
OUT of it's oarlock he leaned look at the
bird.
The sandpiper, ''peetweet." he is sometimes
called. because of his we'll known cry, did not hop
like the birds Roy had always seen, but lightly
along the to the edge of the water. and. sure
enough stepped boldly in till the water Tapped over
his toes in little rippes Then he stood still. as If
he trying decide what he would do next.
He perked his head first to one side, then to the
Other sending curious glances at the boat now and
then; but all was still there and the two people
seemed harmless enough. No creature stirred, for
the song sparrows were now asleep in their nests
higher up the bank. and Peetweet had the world
all to himself

MUSSELS GROWING IN FAVOR
Mussels. long listed among the cheap and
appreciated foods. have of late been growing in
popular favor AT many of the hotels and clubs

the callous club palate finds them exactly suited
TO its needs. Rarely does one find them served on
the average American table. but they

them up, adding little flour, butter. grated nut

them boil. and no salt need be used. Clean some
scallop shells; cover them with bread crumbs; put

GOOD THINGS TO EAT.
SEVERAL DELICIOUS WAYS OF PREPAR
ING SOFT SHELL CRABS AND MUSSELS.

The soft shell crab never loses its place in the
esteem of the epicure, its crisply favored white
flesh being doubly welcome after the round of
heavy winter foods The particular buyers always
insists crabs being delivered alive in their beds
of sea moss. but the fish dealers make a point of
preparing them directly before sending them out,
an hour before they are required for the table
The fresher they from the water the better
their taste. And for that In selecting them
the liveiiest specimens should be chosen plump
and full possible. The feathery substance un-
der the sides of the shells may be removed with
fish shears If they already cleaned. Then
the crabs are rinsed. drained towel seasoned
dredged with -four and fried in very hot fat This
is the only true way to cook soft shell crab. and
the less handling they receive from the time they
leave the water until they to the table
the more delicate they will be in flavor.
Every one is familiar with that restaurant hor
ror, the soft shell crab fried In batter. It is
injury TO the crab and insult to the palate OF
the person who is to eat 1t disfgure these dele
cate fish in this way. The plain quick mode OF
frying them is the best, and it is be regretteo
that several of the cooking authorities. notably tn
older fashioned, advise that the crabs be rolled il
cracker crumbs and dipped in beaten eggs befor'
frying They are never at their best disguised il
this manner, and some prefer them simply broiled
after having been dipped in melted butter and then
served with lemon on hot. dry toast.
CREOLE COOKING.
The creole cooks have method of preparing
the soft shell crabs with their usual accompani-
ments Those who are fond of the creole cooking
prefer it TO all others for all foods and for such
this manner of preparing the crabs is pronounced

Drowned together in saucepan A pint of chicken
broth is added, with tablespoonful of uncooked
rice, then half pint of strained tomato pulp is
added and all are cooked together. Four soft
shell crabs cleaned and in halves then

minutes the dish is ready to be served.

This salad will be liked by those who care for

THE POET.

He walks with God upon the hills.
And sees. each morn. the world arise
New-bathed in light of paradise.
He hears the laughter of her rills.
Her melodies of many voices,
And greets her while his heart rejoices-
She to his spirit undefled.
Makes answer as a little child:
Unveiled before his eyes she stands,
And gives her secret to his hands.
