The Fire Art
of Cooking

Unhappy is the housekeeper who
has fallen into a culinars rut. She
does not always belong to that class
who must count every penny spent
upon her table. More often she is
one of those women whose household
allowance is neither very small nor
very large. She is not forced to de-
wise new dishes from economical ma
terials, nor can she indulge in cpl
curean feasts. Therefore her task OF
planning meals is apt to lack zest for
herself, whereas If she would occa-
sionally embark upon astronomical
voyage of adventure, the result would
be stimulating to her own interest ana
eminen+ly pleasing when the family
circle gathers around the dinner table.
For instance, many women who
think that sweet potatoes boiled or
baked are suficient variant on the
Irish or white potato will find that
they lend themselves to many other
tasty dishes, notably the recipes used
by southern housekeepers.
For breakfast dish or entree az
dinner, they make a delicious scallop.
Take potatoes that have been boiled
or steamed until tender and when cold
slice moderately thin. Put a layer
about an inch thick in the bottom Of =
shallow pudding dish. Sprinkle with
butter and white sugar, add another
layer of potatoes, then butter and SUI
gar again Continue until the dish is
filled. Scatter butter and sugar over
the top and pour over the potatoes
Just enough boiling water to keep
them from burning. Cook half an
hour in a moderate over, or until the
potatoes look transparent and are deli
eately Drowned. The sugar may be
omitted and seasoning Of salt and
pepper used. Should the potatoes be-
come dry, baste with melted butter.
Those who do not like too much but
ter will prefer this dish If half cup
full of melted butter is mixed with
boiling water and used 70 baste the
vegetable.
Another way Of serving th3 tuber
is suited to dinner, luncheon or sup
per Cut the cold potatoes into slices
little more than an inch thick. For
one quart melt half a cupful of
butter and add to it a plentiful
seasoning of salt and pepper and two
tablespoonfuls of sugar. Dip the slices
in this mixture, lay in q buttered pan
and cook about ten minutes in a hot
oven. When glossy and brown they
are ready for the table.-Louisvill

Blood is thicker than water, even in

gruff old uncle, and knew that beneath
the rough exterior there was kind
heart. More than that he knew that
his uncle was lonely, without wife or
children, and If he could work into
his good graces and affection it was
his duty. So, without hesitating long,
he said heartily:

THE MOSLGM b..
How the Koran, According to Tradi-
tion, Was Given to Man.

tfon, Was Given to Man.
In Arabic the word Koran" means
that which ought to be read" The
Koran Is divided into 144 chapters call
ed suras, word meaning really row"
"order," series" In manuscripts
these chapters are not numbered, but
bear titles, sometimes derived from
the subject matter, but usually from
the first important work. Some chap
of differences In the manuscripts fol
lowed. Each chapter is divided into
smaller portions, called verses by non
Moslems, but In Arabic known as
"ayat," signs or wonders. The entire
book again is divided into sixty equal
portions, called "ahzab," each subdi-
vided into four equal parts, or into
thirty parts called "ajza," each consist
ing of two "ahzab," and again divided
into four. All the chapters except the
ninth begin with the blsmillah, "In
the name of the most merciful God"
Twenty-nine begin with certain letters
of the alphabet, which are believed to
be the peculiar marks of the Koran
and to conceal several profound mys-
terles, the understanding of which, the
more intelligent confess, has not been
communicated to any mortal, their
prophet only excepted.
According to Moslem tradition, the
Archangel Gabriel paid 24,000 visits
to earth while revealing to Mohammed
the wishes of the Creator. Some few
chapters were delivered entire, but the
greater part was revealed piecemeal
and written down at the prophets die
tation by Haid, his secretary. The first
revelation, 1t is generally agreed, con-
tained the first five verses of the nine
ty-sixth sura. After the passages had
been written down they were published
to the prophets followers, several Of
whom took copies, while most learned
them by heart, and the originals were
then placed In chest in no particular
order For this reason 1t is uncertain
when many of the passages were re-
vealed.
Abu Bekr, Mohammed's first success
sor, collected the originals, which were
on palm leaves and skins, and had
copies made by Zaid from the dictation
of those who had committed the pas
sages to memory. He further placed
the suras in the order still followed,
putting the longest at the head Of the
list without regard to historical Sc
quence Some time later Osman had
the Koran copied In the Quraish dia-
lect and suppressed the versions made
by Abu Bekr-Chicago News.

Great Spectacle.

Never in the history of the Pittsburg
Exposition has there been an attraction,
which has proven such drawing card
as the spectacular fire-show, "Fight-
ing the Flames" From the rise of .he
curtain, which conceals the immense
stage in Machinery hall, until the close
Of the show at 1920 in the evening,
vast crowds have sat watching the realis-
tic conflagration. 1t is hard TO realize
just how realistic the scenes are pre-
sented without visiting the show. A
half square of busy street in New
York, with its dancing youngsters, its
grind organ, its little German band, the
bowery dancers and all are in view
when the curtain rises on the largest
stage in Pittsburg. Men and women
are seen at the windows of various build
ings, some of them poking their heads
out to take in the street scene. Sudden
ly there is an explosion in paint shop
in the middle of the square. The
crowds rush pell NELL to places OF safety.
There are over 100 men and women in
the street at the time in the immediate
vicinity of the explosion. The clang,
clang of the fire engines can be heard.
Then several fire engines, hook and
ladder and hose reels hove into sight.
The policemen clear the street and the
firelines are stretched. The plugs are
quickly in working order? The hose
is attached and heavy streams OF water
are playing on the flames. But fire
spreads. Everyone Of the four story
buildings is ablaze? Women appear
at the upper floor windows partial
ly clad. They are told to jump. Their
bodies are hurled through the air
and they land in life nets far below.
Then the firemen scale the walls with
their pompier ladder. The work of
rescue is on. Finally all are saved.
The flames are subdued.

Pennsylvania has nearly 800, 900 farms.
or course there are 300, 900 farmers and
nearly every farmer is voter. Nor is
this all. On many farms there are two
and sometimes three or more voters.
A conservative estimate gives the agri-
cultural class at least 100000 votes in
the state. This represents power
possessed by no other class-a power
which If united and directed Alright
could not be successfully resisted. And
yet for want OF union we take what
others give us and bear what they place
upon us, The tax collector has again
posted up his notices and again we will
call upon him and pay four times as
much tax as our neighbor who has
the same amount of money invested in
some other form of property. We, how
ever, deserve no sympathy. Rather
should we as class hang our heads in
shame for thus suffering wrong when
we have the power to secure the right.
The time is coming when we will assert
ourselves. The organized farmers have
in the past won substantial victories
through the grange and they will win
even greater in the future. All that is
now needed is numbers. The Grange
is fully equipped to do the work. The
unorganized farmers have no influence
where law makers meet.
