The above conversation occurred a

were all the greater when the storm
actually broke. Late in the afternoon.

coming down from the north of the
city, every man hurried to his post and
a Gordon was established round the
legation quarter, while the approaches
to the different streets were command

Boxers did, in strong. organized force,
and when darkness fell their devilish
work was in full swing. Awful yells
of "Sha! Sha." demoniacal and unfor-

native Christians who were being
sought out and butchered in their
homes. Above the tumult sounded the
hoarse blare of the Chinese bugle,

ooNCocrIoNs OF FISH.

other Smoked Fish.
New York. July Doorway is the
fish country par excellence. A slender
strip of rugged mountainous land in a
vast ocean. fish naturally plays a
prominent part in Scandinavian domes-
tic and political economy, and 1t is to
be expected that the Scandinavian
cook will excel in fish dishes. One OF
the most popular Norwegian dishes is
called fish pudding. Like the famous
Southern beaten biscuit, this dish pre-
supposed cheap labor and plenty of IL.
However, the seeker after culinary
novelties will feel amply repaid for the
trouble. Fresh haddock is the first
choice for this dish, but failing that,
the most perfect cod obtainable. Boil
the fish until skin and bones can be
easily removed. This must be done
lightly with the fingers, taking care
neither to cut nor crush the fish. Put
it into a wooden bowl and beat it with
a pestle, beating always the one way.
The beating should continue until a
light paste is obtained, say half an
hour; then for medium sized pudding
add gradually two well beaten eggs
and half a pint of cream beaten in,
drop by drop, with the pestle. This
means another half hour of beating.
BY this time the cook should have a
fluffy paste, which must be put in a
pudding mold and steamed for an hour.
1t should cut exactly like snow pud-
ding when done, and is usually eaten
with drawn butter sauce, or melted
butter and parsley, with a dash of
paprika.
Recipe number two is much simpler,
and makes a delicious sandwich for a
light lunch or late supper with a
drop of something to drink. Get a
pot of anchovy paste, the imported
kind, which comes in tiny white pots
the size of an egg. Into half a tea
cupful of mayonnaise dressing (made
with Tarragon vinegar) work two tea
spoonfuls of paste and three hard
boiled eggs chopped fine. Spread this
mixture on thin slices of rye bread.
Norwegian sandwiches are usually
made with but one slice of bread. An
ordinary French dressing may be SUBJ
stituted for mayonnaise, If preferred.
Recipe number three is a very good
thing to try with a chatting dish Heat
a smoked Finnan Handle either in the
oven or by steaming until skin and
bones can be easily removed. Break
the fish lightly into small bits. Into
a spider or chatting dish put half a pint
of cream or rich milk, and when IL is
very hot add a heaping tablespoonful
of butter, into which has been rubbed
a tablespoonful of -four. Stir con-
stantly until the sauce has thickened,
and then add the fish and let 1t cook
for two or three minutes longer. or
course, a dash of paprika should be
added for seasoning. The flour may
be omitted and the yolk of an egg used
to thicken If a richer sauce is desired
The possibilities of smoked haddock
are too little appreciated in this coun-
try. For a quick breakfast or for
camp or picnic this dish is invaluable,
as ten minutes in a double boiler is all
the cooking required. and a bit of but
ter all the seasoning. NJ. A. B.

We walked along together, and, when
came to telegraph Off, sent dis
patch to Mr.. and Mrs. Stubs, inform
ing them that Roderick had agreed TO
spend two weeks with ME on a dragon
hunt. Roderick seemed relieved when
the message had gone.
We caught the train, and after a
pleasant journey. arrived in the land
of the captive princess. We went bold
ly up the front steps of the palace, and
rang the bell. To the attendant who
answered the summons, explained my
errand. He asked me to come in and
sit down in the reception room. After
few moments, the King came in.

said pleasantly, but l am just back
from the funeral of the last dragon

prised me.
THE vanilla is good" answered the
King, but the chocolate is little
fiat"
1.-THE vanilla will do very WELL" said
Roderick, graciously.
So the King rang the bell, ordered a
quart and a pint of vanilla, plain, and
we discussed the terms of our bargain
over the luncheon. Soon we were
agreed. 1t was arranged that l was to
sally the dragon in two weeks, or be
banished for forty years to a desert

The next day. by his direction, we
bought hundreds of bales of cotton
batting, and engaged a lot Of men to
make it up into the shape of swans.
Below each swan was fastened a light
board. About two dozen of these
swans were set afioat each day for
four or five days. Strange to say, they
all disappeared during the night.
Then a terrible roaring was heard
from the distant mountain where the
dragon dwelt.
The next night Roderick bought a
great number of electric lights in glass
bulbs, and after a consultation with
