with Topographic work and their air OF

in this way, and such holders are well

a DAINTY AND APpETIZING
PICNIC LUNCH BASKET
A Few Helpful Hints on What to Take and How
to Prepare It,

Among all the meats that serve as
standbys for picnics, tongue, fresh or
smoked, needs no apology.
II is not an especially rich piece Of
meat. but there is very little waste. and,
properly cooked, it Is tender. delicate
and appetizing. \ fresh tongue is apt
TO be rather insipid, unless praised in
rich stock. well seasoned with vegetab Ies
and havoring herbs. The smoked tongue
has already received an excellent flavor
IN its curing. In selecting a tongue
choose smooth one. as harshness and
roughneSs betoken age. It should also be
firm and thick. with a good bunch Of fat
on the under side.
Smoked tongue is more expensive than
the fresh. II should be soaked for
twenty-four hours in cold water then
put in kettle Of cold water and slowly
brought 10 the boiling point. Push back

OF course the sister will not reveal. but

Secludes Himself
Miss Patterson keeps to herself most
of the time while in the Tombs. The
warden says she is one of the best-be-
haved prisoners he ever had under his
charge.
Mr.. Rand, who is in charge of the
Patterson prosecution, has stated that
he will not put the woman on trial as
long as her brother-in-law, J. Morgan
Smith, chooses to absent himself from
the Jurisdiction of the New York courts.
Mr. Rand believes that the pistol with
which Young was killed Is the property
OF Smith and that Smith is the only per-
son who can clear the mystery that has
thus far surrounded the case.
Detective Sergeants Armstrong and
Judge, of Inspector McClusky's staff,
are hunting Tor Smith. but thus far
have been unable TO get any trace of

found outside of this State he could not
be brought back 10 New York as a wit
