MASKS AS CHICKEN SALAD,
One of the Mysterious Uses to Which
the Forbidden Bob Veal
IL Put,

Many persons who read from time
to time of attempts such as are now
being made by the state department
of agriculture and the local health
board to suppress the bob veal traffic
wonder where all the bob veal goes
to that is said to reach the New York
markets, as they never see any of it.
One of the most common of the uses
to which it is put escapes the atten-
ton of the undiscriminating utterly.
That is it's use as substitute for
chicken in chicken salad, says the
Sun.
In the highest class of restaurants
in which the chicken in salad is cut
into reasonably large pieces, there is,
of course, nothing of this sort done.
But where the supposed chicken is
almost minced, as it too often is even
in good restaurants, there is gen.
orally room for a suspicion of the
substitution of bob veal for chicken.
Several men were almost more panied
than Disguised not long ago to find
themselves served with salad of bob
veal, with a scattering of bits OF
chicken in It in a Broadway restau.
rant. The proprietor of the restau-
rant has several places Of refresh.
ment in town and his name has been
held to be guarantee of the quality
both of the edibles and the drinka bles
served in his eating places.

Capital,

''Wantsd-A young French woman to
give lessons to an American gentleman,
Apply Hotel -, ten o'clock Friday"
The foregoing advertisement, print
ed in Paris paper, almost caused q
riot at the hotel At the hour named.
says tho Paris Messenger. The Amer
lean gentleman was Webster Jones,
OF San Francisco. Mr.. Jones left or
ders that he would receive applicants
In room at the hotel and they
might be admitted to the corridor
pending his arrival. When he got
there he found line that reached out
into the street and extended all the
way to the Place Vendome. Five hun
dred dashing Partisan ladies were
clamoring for sight Of the "Ameri-
can gentleman" They were unani-
mously resolved to give him lessons.
Jones was paralyzed at the sight
and fed, leaving the hotel people to
get out of the scrape the best they
might. The managers and clerks ar
gaed In vain. The ladies would not
be pacified. They elamored for a
s1ght Of the evasive American. The
police were called. The women were
put out, but more women kept COM
ing all day. The hotel was under
police protection for "a hours. Jones
fed to another hotel, q wiser, and,
perhaps better man. He is now
convinced that people read ADVERTISE
ments, but he has retired from the
business.

You can have the thing done by me
chanical process, says the Saturday
Evening Post. 49,. - =
The machine-sculptor will place you
on pedestal which revolves, and will
turn you slowly around while he takes
a series of photographs Of you with
a fixed camera. As a result he will
have views of yourself from every
standpoint, and then it only remains
to convert these pictures into the por-
trait in marble that is desired.
There is no preliminary model in
clay. A piece Of marble of the neces-
sary size is provided, and the outlines
of the first photograph, with suitable
enlargement, are traced upon the
stone, process being used that makes
accuracy certain. Then the stone is
revolved q certain distance, so as to
correspond mathematically with the
view taken in the second photograph,
and the operation is repeated. This is
done with all the photographs sue
cessivey, the chisel doing its work
meanwhile, until replica of yourself
IS produced in the marble.
Though the process is in the main
mechanical, some artistic skill is re.
CURED. The outlines are we'll repro.
duced in the manner described, but
such details as the ears and the hair
must have treatment with the chisel.

A curiosity was disclosed at local

on to be sawed. A slab nearly 10 inches
in thickness was cut OF the butt. Then
. plank one and one-half inches thick
was severed and the Jaw started on a
trip through the log for another plank
of the same thickness. When about
four feet from the butt there was a
cracking, buzzing and fling Of teeth.
The saw was choked down so that it
stopped the engine. The log was FUN

The snake Industry Of Klamath Falls
came about in this fashion:
Postmaster Casti some time ago re-
ceived letter from concern in Min

inquiring if they could be shipped to
Minnesota. Thinking it q joke, the
postmaster replied that be would fur:
nish all the snakes desired at as cents

by return mail, an order was received
for 400 pounds of snake. The Mime
sofa firm then informed him that next
season they would place an order for
800 pounds.
That set the people of Klamath Falls
to thinking, and the present snake in
dustry of the town is the result of
their cogitations.
The species of water snake so plen-
tiful at Klamath Falls is of a dark
color and when full grown about three
feet long.
So great is the supply that tons of
the reptiles could be shipped annual

snakes are used for medicinal pur-
poses, a. superior quality of oil can
be manufactured from the variety
found at Klamath Falls.

OUR POLICY IN THE PEARL.
Relations "aIust Be Clearly Defined" by the
Cubans, or We Stay.


Washington, Feb. Tt was admit
ted yesterday by a high official of
the government that the administra-
ton earnestly desired the adoption of
The Cuban constitution before the ad
journment of the present session of
congress. The official who made this
statement said that no official repre-
sensations had been made to the Gu
ban convention, but that the delegates
had been informally advised as to the
views of the president on the subject.
The official further said that the pro
visions of the constitution as finally
agreed upon would determine to a
great extent the character of the ac-
ton of this government.
The speaker made it perfectly plain,
however, that the relations between
the governments of Cuba and the
United States must be clearly defined,
either in the constitution or in some
other satisfactory way, before the
United States will consent to with
draw entirely from the government of
the island.
Another statement, not by an Off
cial. is that several senators including
Aldrich and Beveridge. are advising
the president not to call an extra ses-
sion. Says this statement: These SEN
ators have been trying to persuade the
president that it would be unwise at
the present time to disclose to this
country and Cuba the intention of this
government to exercise control over
several of the most important govern
mental functions. These senators fear
that congress will not be prepared to
lend unqualified support to the adj
ADMINISTRATION programme. They there
fore counsel delay and a campaign of
education"
