J. OLD TIME COOKERY.
Curioos Recipes That were IN Uss
u: In the FifteentAs Century. ~:

Cufious Recipes That Were IN Use
y n the FifteentA Century. 'r
An old volume, the Noble Boke Of
Cookry, flor a Prynce Houssolde or eny
sther Estately Houssolde," written
about the year 1867, contains many
rare and curious recipes in use In those
days not only for ordinary dishes, but
those to be eaten on fast and fish days.
1t Is curious In reading this cookery
book to find that there are the same
birds. beasts and fishes, the same
courses and sometimes the same names
to dishes as in q modern one, but, al
though the names are often the same,
the ingredients and the preparation
are very different. For instance, their
blanche mango" was composed Of
lamprey or other fish, and their GUS
tards contained fresh pork minced
small.
Here is one recipe from the book:
ITO make mon amy take and boil cows
cream and when it Is boiled set it aside
and let 1t cool. Then take COW curtls
and press out the whey; then bruise
SACW Ill uOIldE AuU cast IQCm IN the
pot to the cream and. boil together.
Put thereto sugar, honey and may but
ter, color it up with saffron and in the
setting down put in yolks Of eggs well
beaten and do away the strain and let
the potage be standing; then arrange
1t in dishes and plant therein flowers
OF violets and serve it."
Some of the recipes In this quaint old
book were intended specially for a
'1orde's" table. For instance, q pike
was to be served whole to "a lorde,"
but cut in pieces for the ''commonalte."
Cabbages were to be thickened with
grated bread for ordinary people, but
served with yolks of eggs for a "lorde.'
The dishes at this time used at table
were either gold or silver for great &C.
casions and wooden trenchers and plat
tiers for ordinary use. 1t was not til
the time of Queen Elizabeth tn
plates Of metal and earthenware began
70 be generally used instead Of wood.

Animal Curiosity,

A cow will approach a new object
fascinated, but with dmorous suspi-
con, and horse is even more timid,
gazing at distance for awhile, ready
to dee in a moment. The monkey will
snatch at everything that is new and
deliberately examine it till, finding
that he cannot eat it or mock mankind
with it, he will drop it and let it pass
from his shallow memory. There is a
pathos in the slenderness Of animal
curiosity. it is so easily satisfied. The
thought, If thought it be, usually ends
with the first flush of surprise and the
impression Of safety.

-. sALTING BABIES. 3.
~ Cruel Custon That Still Lives r
W Parts Of Europe and Asia =

a Cruel Custom That Still Lives In
Parts Of Europe and Asia T.
q In certain localities in Europe and
Asia the people still adhere to the ex-
ceedingly curious custom of sailing
newborn babies, Notwithstanding its
cruelty and danger. The method va
ries with the differing nationalites Of
the people using it
The Armenians Of Russia cover the
entire skin Of the infant with a very
line salt, taking great care that the salt
reaches all the spaces between the I'm
gers and toes and the depressions in
the body, such as the armpits and the
hollows under the knees, for not spot
Of the surface of the child must remain
untouched by the salt. The salt is left
on the baby for three hours or more
and then washed off with warm water.
A mountain tribe Of Asia Minor Is
even more merciless than the Arme-
mans. They keep their newborn ba-
bies covered with salt for twenty-four
hours. The modern Greeks sprinkle
their babies with salt, and even in
some parts of Germany salt is still
used on child at birth, but in much
more humane manner, by rubbing
little behind the ears or by placing
pinch Of salt on the tongue or by filling
4 little paper with salt and placing it
under the garment. The mothers i'm
'agine that this Will give their children
health and strength and keep the evil
spirits away from them.
This custom, when carried to excess,
= cruel, the salt inhaming the skin
and sometimes causing such intolera-
BILE tortures that the child dies in con-
vulsions, but the ignorant and super
sdtious mother, believing that the salt
ing process hardens the child, that
without it the babe could not grow up
into healthy man or woman, hardens
her heart to its crueltes.
It is not known definitely how this
odd custom originated, but probably
some ancient innovator, observing the
preservative power Of salt in keeping
meat sound, reasoned that it would be
q good thing to salt down young babies
for few hours and thus impart some
thing of the strengthening and pre-
serving qualities of the salt to the puny
offspring Of man.

orisin Of the salvatio. Army.

Origin Of the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army had it's origin in
The town of Whitby, In the rough coal
mining district of Yorkshire, where
General Booth, at that time Rev. Will
Nam Booth, was doing humble mission
work. England was then in arms, ex-
pecdng to jump into the Russo Turkish
war. 1t occurred to Booth that he
might attract a crowd by issuing dec
laration of war himself, SO he prepared
one forthwith, sprinkled it plentifully
with halleluiahs and posted 1900 copies
Of It about town. The device tckled
the British sense Of humor, there was
Q 'redhot rousing meeting" to quote
General Booth, 1.-The penitent fell down
In heaps" and the Salvation Army
sprang into life full grown.

FLOWERS IN MEXICO.

- Plentiful That They Are Used For
Great 'ublic Decorations.
As a people the Mexicans are very
fond Of ho~"ers, and every village, town
and city has its place where flowers
are sold, and many Of the larger places
have extensive flower markets. Often
the flowers brought to the market are
wild specimens found in the woods and
the fields, but all are beautiful. In
many Of the smaller towns and villages
the public parks and the sidewalks Of
the streets are used as places for the
sale of flowers. Everywhere they may
be bought at surprisingly low prices
90 plentiful are flowers they are used
for great public decorations. Some
times whole parks and the fronts Of
buildings for many streets are covered
with floral decorations on feast day.
The Mexican love of flowers has been
Inherited from a long line Of flower
loving ancestors. More than a thou
sand years ago the chief feature Of
worship among the Toltecs was the
great foral Offering which was made to
the fair god once a year and which
lasted for a whole Mexican week. Dur
ing this festival one Of the features
was a great floral procession, which
traversed the principal streets of the
city to the sound Of musical instru-
ments. Every one in the procession
carried flowers to lay upon the altar Of
the god or to place upon the steps or
walls Of his temple. In this procession
were princes, mobiles. priests and COM
moners. This floral festival was an
expression Of the love Of nature for
which the Toltecs were noted. Until
they came into contact with the A.
tees later on in history they were pure
ly nature worshipers, and flowers and
fruits formed the chief part Of their
offerings So the Mexican comes by
h1s love of flowers honestly.

WILLS IN ENGLAND.

Interesting Documents That Are on
File In Somerset House.
In the heart of London, facing on one
sade the famous thoronghfare known
% the Strand and on the other looking
on the Thames, will be found Somerset
House, once a private palace, but now
devoted to various departments of the
inland revenue Of Great Britain,
Perhaps the most Interestingly DVern-
ment department In Somerset House is
that devoted to the filing of wills, and,
- might be supposed. the collection is
immense, varied and extraordinary,
ranging from the will Of Shakespeare
himself Containing practically the only
known autograph of the world renown-
Cd poet right down to mere curiosities
In willis. such as those carved on the
Nd Of desk or contained within secret
cabinets or escritoires.
Here for Is cents one may inspect
the will Of any British person There
are willis leaving immense sums to
cats and dogs; Wills written in human
blood. But the most interesting one
has quite romantic history.
1t Is the will Of British official who
died in Cairo Of the plague. Before
his death he took care to prepare his
will upon parchment procured from the
skin of freshly killed goat, but as he
handled this skin himself it was
thought later on that the will might
have the power Of transmitting the
dreadful plague from which it's writer
died. Accordingly. after having been
passed from hand to hand with some
what disastrous results in the way of
plague and death, the will was put into
bottle Of spirits. Arrived at Somer-
Get House, the will was read to the next
Of kin and deposited among the ar
ohives Of the department. - Kansas

Among the odd habits of rocks is the
way that members Of the same rookery
have Of intermarrying generation after
generation. The males always choose
their wives from their near neighbors,
and If one should be so bold as to
bring home to his rookery a bride from
q distance the other rocks will invari-
ably refuse to receive her and will
force the pair to build some way of.
In the neighborhood of big rookeries
