Why Most Cooks Always Stir Their
Batter One Way Only.


Take Il sood lump of fresh butter
and roll it in -four, place it in a lined
saucepan with Il half pint of good, rich
cream, stir it gently over a low fire, al
ways the same way, till it begins to
simmer"
This recipe for the making of melted
butter is quoted from an old fashioned
cookery book of a century ago, but the
direction TO stir always the same
way is observed as religiously today
rs il was then, and probably will be for
Il the sand years to come.
All cooks Of all nations stir not only
the same way, but also from east to
west, a sure indication that the prac-
tice originated with sun ~worshipers.
Speaking Of stirring brings to mind
that in most English households-coun-
try ones ut least-the practice of the
whole family joining to stir the Christ
mas plum pudding is still in vogue.
There are many peculiar, old fash
Toned superstitions connected with
cooking.
For instance, in Scotland, when oat-
cakes are being baked, it is still GUS
touary to break off a little piece and
throw it into the fire.
At Il time, whenever Il baking was
made-which was perhaps nee IA
month only-a cake was made with
nine knobs on it. Each Of the company
broke me off, and, throwing it behind
him. said, "This | give to thee; preserve

PIckErlNe OF FUNERALS.
Eclice Orders That Last Rites Of the
Dead Be In No Way lnterfered

Chicago, Dec. %. - Plcketing OF
houses from which funerals are to
start, whether peaceful or violent, by
union livery drivers, who went on
strike four days ago. is to be prevented
by the police under orders issued by
Chief of Police O'Neil.
]. B, W%adsworth, secretary, aud
Charles Stevens, business agent of the
~liverymen's union, were summoned be-
fore Chief O'Neil and told that they
must settle their differences away from
houses of mourning.
This %picketing of the homes from
which funerals are holding is beyond
the liberation of a civilized communi-
ty," said Chief O'Neil. Your zeal has
carried you beyond the pale of endur-
ance and such unheard of performance
as the carrying of labor troubles to
the houses of the dead will not be al
lowed by the police.
Law or no law, picketing of every
lind around these houses will have to
stop. | shall take my chances with
the courts on the question il my o
duct is questioned in any court"
Chief O'Neil then issued a general
order instructing officers to accompany
funerals in carriages if circumstances
seemed to require it and see that the
last rites Of the dead be in no way in
terfered with.
While the courts have inclined to
the permitting of peaceful picketing
Chief O'Neil's order prohibits picket
ing of any kind around houses If
mourning. He declared that in his
opinion 10 court could be found which
would fail to sustain his act.
On top of Chief O'Neil's order came
the announcement last night that peace
plans had been launched through the
efforts of the Chicago board Of arbi.

SERVANTS IN ECUADOR.
The Traveller In Forced 10 Hire
Many to Serve Him.


Many TO Serve Him.
If you We're living in Ecuador and
wished to hire u servant you could
hardly get one by himself or herself,
but would be compelled to take up with
n drove Of them, probably far outnum-
boring your own family. For example,
with a cook you would have TO receive
her husband and children, and perhaps
also her father and mother, into your
house to bed and board, and each would
bring along all his or her portable prop
erty. consisting mainly Of domestic
pets, such as pigs, chickens, rabbits,
dogs and other ''live stock" The hus-
band may have some trade which he
follows during the day, but at meal
times and when night he returns
TO the bosom of his family and yours.
1t would be considered downright in
humanity TO refuse them food and shell
ter. and not a servant In Ecuador
would work for so mean a master or
mistress. The children of your cook
may he utilized for light services, such
ms running errands. wedding the gar
den and tending the baby. but the nu-
merous brood is apt TO be light finger
ed" and certain to he lousy, dirty and
probably diseased, There is no help
for 1t. however. because Eel costumbre"
has decreed that for every servant you
hire you must expect at least n dozen
extra mouths to feed.
Nor is this the worst of II. Occasion
ally the cooks relatives from another
village come 10 pay her Il visit of u fort
night or two-lasting rs long as you
will tolerate it--men. women and chill
drcn. bringing more dogs. pigs, chick
ems. etc. to he housed and fed. Fortu-
nately, they are not accustomed to
''downy beds of ease" or sumptuous
living, hut consider themselves in
clover il plentifully supplied with
beans, cOrn meal and potato soup. and
will sleep ~contentedly ON the stones OF
the patio or the straw of the stable.
The danger is that some Of the stranger
hangers on may not he as honest us
the cook herself is supposed to he. and
cases are known where thieves and

When Che Barber Was n wit.

In original literature the barber is
a great figure, and Arabian tales are
full of him. In Italy and Spain he was
often the brightest man in town, and
his shop was headquarters for wit
and intrigue. Jasamin became famous
as a poet in southern France and re-
cited his verses with razor, scissors,
brush and comical gestures as he dress
ed the hair and beard of fine ladies and
gentlemen in his shop. He had a great
run, made money, hived fame, and
Smiles made a book about him.

CANUS IS TO APPEAR
BEFORE JUDGE CQLLIGAN
Alleged Betrayer Of Belgian Girl Must
Face Justice-She Is Said to Tell
Conflicting Stories.

The case Of John Camus, charged with
tine seduction Of Blanche Joussair., a
Belgian girl not long in this county. was
sct for trial in Judge Collsdn's court this
afternoon, The charge was placed against
the man on March II, and it is alleged
by the girl that he and she were living
together in a house on East Park street
for some time before the complaint was
sworn out
The case Of the girl is a peculiar one,
She says she came to this country from
Belgium last February. She left Ant
werp, according to her story, on Febru-
airy "a.
1t seems that Camus had written TO Bel
gium asking another girl to come to
Butte. He said that he wanteH the other
girl to come out so that he might marry
her. She failed to come for some rca-
son, however, and Blanche Toussaint took
her place, and when she arrived here she
was taken in charge by Camus.
Camus did not marry her. She has
told two or three different stories as to
what happened after she met Camus, and
as they conflict it is doubtful il the
charge against him can be made to stick
by means of her testimony.
Blanche has been in the woman's quar-
ter Of the county Jail for two or three
days awaiting the upshot Of an investi-
CATION into her case.
