This is a style of cooking less
known in this country than in Europe,
where it has warm admirers, some
even pronouncing It the best Of all
methods for preparing meats, poultry
and game. One enthusiastic writer
says:
Turkey boiled is turkey spoiled,
Turkey roast is turkey lost,
For turkey braised the Lord be
praised"
The most scientific braising is done
with an iron pot which has a closely
fitting cover. The pot should be OBJ
long and not too high to set in the
oven. The meat is put in it with thin
shavings of pork under and above It..
Celery, carrots, a few slices of lemon
and onion, bay feaf and other flavor.
ings are added One pint of soup
stock salted to taste is put in, the
cover is fastened on firmly, and the
pot is set in the oven which should
be at a moderate heat The cover

ing in the vapors of its own and the
various added favorings, the braised
meat will be ready to serve. The
liquor should be strained over the
meat after 1t is placed upon the dish.

They are very fine for cutting for use

rooms for parties. We have used
some in combination with the dark

No actress has ever had more Jokes
made at her expense than the divine
Sarah had in her younger days, when
she had very attenuated form Once
Dumas the younger was shown a pic
ture of the great actress painted by
NJ. Clarin. In the picture a dog was
lying at Nine Bernhradts feet. "Ah,
] see" said NJ Dumas, "a picture Of
a dog and a bone" On another oc-
casion a Partisan paper told a story
Of how Nine. Bernhradt was attacked
by robbers but escaped By hiding her
self behind her parasol Once the ae-
tress was rehearsing a piece in a
Paris theatre when she was suddenly
called of the stage to see a friend
The manager turning round quickly
and not seeing Nine Bernhardt
looked thoughtfully at the floor of the
stage for a few seconds and then said
sadly "Ah, poor mademoiseile, she
must have slipped through the
boards"

Our Anthracite VIII Then Be EN
hausted, Says Prof Waleott.
Charles D. Walcott. director OF the
Geological Survey in a lecture before
the National Geographic Society,
made the statement that the anthra-
cite coal fields Of the United States
would be exhausted in sixty years,
should the present rate of consump-
ton continue He said that by the
year 2203 the bituminous coal field
would also be worked out, and that
the country would then be obliged to
secure its full supply from the Ignite
beds of the West, which are all but
inexhaustible
Speaking of the value Of the work
Of the Geological Survey, Prof. Wal
colt told how, twenty-five years ago,
the Rothschilds, before investing in
gold mining properties in California
sought the opinion of the Survey, and
were advised to sink a shaft in Green
Meadow, Cal They did so, and struck
one Of the richest gold veins in the
West.

Remarkable Industry Of Frances Jane

nfnra Childhood


Remarkable Industry Of Frances Jane
Crosby, Who Has Been Blind
Since Childhood.
Though she has been blind since
she was six weeks old. Miss Frances
Jane Crosby, as she is generally
called, though her real name IS Mrs
Alexander Van Allstyne. has written
more than 5000 hymns, many OF them
known all over the world And though
she is now eighty-three years old
rather feeble and totally blind. she
still travels to eyangelistic meetings
in various cities and gives readings
and lectures. Her home IS in Bridge
port, Conn.
Among the most famous gospel
hymns written BY Miss Crosby are
those beginning: safe in the Arms
Of Jesus" pass Me Not, Oh, gentle
Saviour" "All the Way My Saviour
Leads Me- and "I Am Thine, Oh
Lord; l Have Heard Thy Voice"
Save for the heavy green glasses
she is compelled to wear, there is lit
tie in Miss Crosby's manner while
lecturing to Indicate her sightedness
She reads her notes, printed in raised
letters, with almost imperceptible
movements of her fingers, and turns
her head as though glancing about the
audience
Hymn writing is my life work. +"
says Miss Crosby, and 1 canot tell

The following intimation to couples
desirous of entering into the blissful
state Of matrimony has been published
in Berlin. 1t is interesting inasmuch
as it throws light upon the influence
exerted by certain seasons Of the year
and days of the week on the number
of marriages: Attention is hereby
called to the circumstance that the
number Of marriages contracted be-
tween the end of March and the mid
die of April is so great that the civil
officials find it increasingly difficult
to meet the wishes of betrothed per
sons as to the wedding day The lat
ter are extremely prone to select Sat
urdaYs So much So indeed, that it is
not always possible for the officials to
transact all the business which Is fixed
for that day. It is necessary, at least
in Berlin, for the officials in question
to consult the interested parties with
a view to distributing the marriages
more evenly over the week days, in
order to avoid congestion of business"

The use of the word chestnut" as
typlfying an old story may be traced to
Edwin A. Abbey. the celebrated artist,
who is painting the picture Of the coro-
nation Of King Edward VII. at the
Kings command.
Mr. Abbey is an American and was
born in Philadelphia and educated at
that city Later on he Joined a prom
inent club. the members Of which
prided themselves on their ability to
tell smart and witty anecdotes. The
artist was fond Of a joke, and Was in
the habit OF always purposely telling
the same yarn.
It was a pOintless story about a man
who had a chestnut farm, and who
never made any money because he
could not resist the temptation to give
his crop away
Mr.. Abbey always began this story
in a different way, but would gradually
lead up to 1t until his hearers would
recognize it and cry "chestnuts."
@And In that way the word gradually
assumed its slang significance, and is
now used to brand a story as old wher-
ever the English language is spoken.
