CODES OF TIE KITCHENS.
Pu.c5 That Govern COOKS Generally
Duo to Superstitons.

"Tai.c a good lump Of fresh bat
ter and roll it IL flour, place it in a
lined saucepan with Il half pint Of
good, rich cream, stir it gently over
a low fire, always the same way,
till il bcgms TO simmer" This rec
ipc for the making Of melted butter
is quoted from an old fashioned
cookery book Of century ago, but
the direction to stir "always the
same way" is observed rs religiously
today rs it was then and probably
will be for thousand years to
come. All cooks Of all nations stir
not only the same Wa, but also
from east 10 west, sure indication
that the practice originated with
sun wor,hIperS.
Speaking Of stirring brings TO
mind that IN most households
counlrI ones, at Icast--thc practice
Of The whole family joining TO stir
The Christmas plum padding Is still
in vogue. There arc many peculiar
old fashioned supers;iiions connect
el with cooking. For instance, in
Scotland when oat cakes are being
baked it is still customary 10 break
oil Il liltlc piece and throw it into
The fire. AT one time whenever a
hakin" was made. which was per-
haps once Il month only, Il cake was
made with nine knobs on it. Each
Of the company broke one off and,
throwing it behind him, said, "This
give to thee; preserve thcu my
sheep" mentioning the name Of u
noxious animal-fox, wolf or eagle.
A roast pheasant is usually sent
up with the tail feathers. This
practice is a memorial OF the days
when peacock was skinned before
roasting and when cooked was sewcd
in its plumagc again, it's beak gild-
ed and so served. Tossing the pan
cake is another interesting food su-
perstition. Formerly the master of
the house was called upon to toss
the Shrove Tuesday pancake. Usu-
ally he did it SO clumsily that the
contents OF the pan found their way
to the floor, when a fine was de-
manded by the cook. The custom
is still kept up at Westminster
school, where a pancake is tossed
over the bar and scrambled for.
The one who secures it is rewarded
with guinea.
The origin of the cross on hot
cross bans is matter of dispute.
There is little doubt that cakes
partly divided into four quarters
were made long before the Christian
era. At one time it was believed
that bread baked on Good Friday
would never grow moldy, and a
piece of it grated was kept in every
house, being supposed to be SOW

In many parts of England it is con-
sidercd unluckv to offer a mince

WHY THE JUROR HELD OUT.
The Secret That Was Impaired to an
Eno'is!, Chief Justice.

EnSiS'1 Sfief JuStlcc.
The most remarkable case of a
jury "standing out" against what
seemed irrcfutable testimony, and
all through tie resolution of one
man, occurred before Chief Justice
Dyer many years ago. He presided
at a murder trial III which avery
thing went against the prisoner,
who on his part could only say that
on his going to work in the morn
ing he had found the murdered man
dying and tried to help him, where
by he had become covered with
blood, but when the man presently
died lie had come away and said
nothing about it because he was
known to have had quarrel with
the deceased and feared lie might
get into trouble. The hayfork with
which The man had been mur
dcrcd had the prisoners name on it.
In other respects his guilt appeared
to be clcar!y established, and the
chief justice was convinced Of it.,
but the jury returned Il verdict of
"Not guilty"
This was Chief Justice Dycr's
case, and he put some very search
Ing questions 10 the high sheriff.
The cause Of the acquittal, said the
official, was undoubtedly the fore
man, a farmer of excellent charac-
ter, esteemed by all his ncighhors
and very unlikely to be obstinate or
vcyatious. "Then," said the judge,
81 must sec this foreman, for an
explanation of the matter [ will
have" Thc foreman came, and aft
or extracting from his lorlship q
promise of secrecy proved at once
that the prisoner had been rightly
acquitted, "for," said he, cit was I
myself who killed the man."
1t had been no murder, for the
other had attacked him with the
hayfork, and-as he showed Sc
yerely injured him, but in the strug-
gle to get possession Of the weapon
he had the misfortune to give the
man fatal wound. He had no
fears as to his being found guilty
of murder; but, the assizes being
just over, his farm and affairs would
have been ruined by confession,
through lying in Jail SO long, SO
he suffered matters to take their
course. He was Mortified to find
one of his own servants accused of
the murder. He supported his wife
and children while in jail, managed
to be placed on the jury and elected
foreman. lie added that if he had
failed in this he would certainly
have confessed to his own share in
the business, and the judge believed
him.
Every year for fifteen years the
judge made inquiries as to the fore
mans existence, and at last, hap
pening to survive him, he consider
ed himself free to tell the story

GIRLS WEAR SUSPENDERS.
Important Adjunct to One of the Sea-
sons Newest Gown Gre
atoms.

All the little frills which add so mate
rally to the charm of her dress are de-
cidedly dainty and fetching in them
selves. Have you heard about her sus-
pender frock? 1t is one of the newest
gowns in her wardrobe, says Woman's
Home Companion. A few years ago to
speak of the summer girl wearing sus-
penders would at once suggest sus-
penders of kid, made as near like her
brothers as possible. The suspenders
which the summer girl of this year re-
CARDS as one of her latest frills proudly
proclaim the fact that they are made
solely for a girl-and very dainty and
feminine girl at that. They are made
of linen, and are hand-embroidered, and
it Is the Russian cross-stitch that is
used as their decoration. Instead of dec
Grating her turnover collar with the
Russian cross-stitch, as has been her
fad in the past, it is her suspenders that
she is embroidering in this fashionable
stitch.
Another fad which she introduces in
this dainty and novel dress accessory is
to use the Russian cross-stitch in such
a way that it will simulate buttons. In
stead of the suspenders fastening on the
shoulders with genuine button and
buttonhole, the two ends hook invisibly,
and in place of the real button there is a
hand-embroidered substitute.
The suspenders always match the
color, and generally the fabric, of the
skirt with which they are worn. What
could be daintier morning dress than q
skirt of pale blue linen with blue linen
suspenders decorated with the Russian
ors, and the suspenders worn over q
dainty blouse of fine white lawn?

official business. The only way he
can entirely separate himself from
work is to gel out of reach OF rail-
roads, telegraphs and telephones. This
Mr.. Roosevelt did last year on his big
western tour when he escaped into
the Yellowstone park for week and
got out of communication with his
secretary and the rest of the world.
At Oyster Bay the president enjoys
many personal privileges that are de-
MED him in Washington. He is per-
mitted to spend more time with his
family and can indulge in sports and
pastimes of which he is fond to a
greater extent than when in the white
house. At the same time he devotes a
action of official business. He signs
papers and listens to official business
just as faithfully as he does in Wash
ington, so that his vacation at his
summer home is largely in name only.
Now that he is back in Washington he
will feel the full pressure of official
life. Scores and hundreds of poll
ticians have been waiting for his re-
turn 70 discuss with him the situation
and to press requests for appointments
and If possible to secure promises to
be used in the campaign.
At Oyster Bay any one desiring to
see the president has to make an en-
gagement and in this way Mr.. Roose-
velt's time is tolerably well guarded.
In Washington he is at the beck and
call of any citizen who has legitimate
business with him.

THE CAR Is HAPPY.
Rejoices in the Birth of a Son and
Heir to the Russian
Throne. S..

st. Petersburg, Aug. ia son and
heir to the Russian throne has been born.
The empress and the child are doing
well. The birth occurred at IL: 80 p. m.
The child will be christened Alexis.
The birth so greatly wished for, that of
an heir to the Russian crown, occurred,
not in the great palace at Peterhoff,
but in the Alexandra villa, one of group
of four small palaces in secluded corner
of the magnificent Peterhof park. In
one of these buildings the empress had
been living for weeks. The other three
are occupied by members of the imperial
family gathered there in expectation of
Fridays event.
In receiving the congratulations of
his court, the emperor in brief reply
said: Il am happier at the birth of son
and heir than at victory of my troops,
for now face the future calmly and
without alarm, knowing by this sign
that the war will be brought to happy
conclusion"
An imperial manifesto is published
announcing the birth of an heir 1t in
vites all Russian subjects to offer their
prayers for the prosperity of the heir
to the throne.
A day marked by the display of flags,
the firing of salutes, the holding of re-
ligious services, and the extending of
official congratulations was followed by
a night of brilliant illumination. Gar
lands and lamps were strung tonight
across almost every house front, while
from many of the larger buildings
flashed the Russian arms, the imperial
monogram and other devices picked out
in electric globes. Early tens of thou
sands of tapers glimmered before the
affairs of St. Petersburg's many shrines.
In chapels and cathedrals everywhere
there were solemn choruses Of thanks
giving from the imperial chapel to the
Peterhof palace to the humble lamp-lit
shrines of the streets, where the hurry
ing pedestrians, laborers and drosky
drivers, waited to cross themselves.
The street crowds were, however, much
quieter than usual on holiday for the
popular rejoicing over the event at the
Alexander villa could not dispell the
anxiety which prevailed regarding the
fate of the squadron on which so much
depends.
The emperor and empress of Russia
formerly Princess Alix of Hesse), who
we're married November IA, 1894, had,
previous to the birth of the child born
Friday, four daughters, Olga, born No.
vember 8, 1895; Tatania, born May 20,
1897; Marie, born June IA, 1899, and An
astasia, born June 5, 1901. The people
throughout Russia, notably the clergy,
lave been praying for an heir to the
throne

every morning. Just before he had to
give up work he made blunder that
betrayed his failing faculties. He ran
up the flag Union Jack down, the sig
nal of distress. The mistake was quick
ly discovered and rectified, but Uncle
Jerry never got over this blunder. He
took it as a sign that he was failing
and the time had come to give up
work. He was relieved from duty and
soon took to his bed, where he now
lies slowly passing away with cancer
of the stomach. In his modest little
home he has not been forgotten, as
President Roosevelt, National Chair

have called to inquire after the old
man and to let him know that he il

ever heard him grumble about work
that might be required of him. During
his 80 odd years service he was en-
ployed in all sorts of positions, from
cook to head usher at an official func-
ton. OF late years he seemed to be
the official buster in the executive man
sion, for he was never separated from

was continually brushing furniture and
windows. In manner he was a colored

very conspicuous landmark from off,

during Lincoln's administration as the
remaining link between the old and
new white house regimes.

but enough are on
duty to attend to the presidents wants
and to the comfort of the guests whom
he always has with him. 1t is during

Any of the presidents friends who
happen to be in the city are captured
and brought into the bachelor circle.
The president Is famous for discussing
matters of state and politics at his ia

him to invite statesmen and politicians
to luncheon or dinner for the express
purpose of discussing public issues
with them. When he Is alone in the

very generally as stag party. about
the table can then devote their atten-

Among those whom the president

are Attorney General Moody, a bach

Corporations Garfield, Familiarity

the post Office Investigations, Holmes
Conrad; Secretary of War Taft and
half a dozen other men in official life
noted for good fellowship and for their
sympathy with the presidents poll

president and his official fami-
iy unbend, joke each other, tell
stories, repair to the tennis court and
have a swift game or mount saddle
horses and have gallop through the
suburbs. The president manages to
put in several hours each day in this
sort of relaxation.
