Moonshine in New York.

Don't talk to me about moonshin-
ing in Kentucky said the internal
revenue agent. There's more moon
shining going on all the time in little
old New York than could be done
in ten Kentuckys. In the crowded
sections of the East and West Sides
stills spring up right along and for
while conduct a 1ourishing business
in the low grade whisky they manu-
facture. You see, it doesn't take
much trouble to equip still with
corn and yeast and start in to make
the mash which is finally turned out
as pretty poor sort Of whisky. The
great difficulty is in getting rid Of
the peculiar smoke and odor from
stills without exciting suspicion.
This is usually attempted by running
the still in connection with dye
shop or some other chemical enter
prise as blind. We keep watch on
all such establishments and have the
town well covered by sharp eyed and
sharp nosed agents besides. We are
constantly arresting these small
moonshiners and sending them to.
JAIL But enough spring up in their
places for you to say with safety that,
as | say, there's more moonshining
going on in New York City right
along than there could be in ten
Kentuckys."

FISH CHOWDERs.

A fish chowder prepared either
from fresh paddock or from goldfish
and made according to the following
rule is a genuine old New England
dish and is most appetizing Have on
hand two pounds either of fresh cod
or fresh haddock, and cut it up into
square pieces. AS the bones help to
flavor they should not be taken out.
Place three slices of pork in a deep
kettle, and when they are tried out"
remove them, and into the melted
fat put layer of fish. Then cover
it with a layer OF cooked potatoes
taken from a bowl into which five
medium sized cooked potatoes and
one good sized onion have been
sliced in very thin Slices Then place
over the layer Of potato, another
layer of fish, and so on, until all the
potato and fish are used. AS each
layer is added sprinkle with pepper
and salt. Pour enough water over
the mixture to prevent the fish from
burning. When this has entirely
boiled away add a quart Of milk and
bring it to the boiling point Do not
let it boil more than a minute. Pour
into the soup tureen piece Of but
ter almost the size of an egg, and
about six lightly moistened crackers.
Then pour the fish chowder into the
tureen and serve Immediately. New

Cork soles.

Nothing new under the sun. 1t is
now an established fact that the Ro-
mans in classical times wore cork
soles in their shoes to protect their
feet from water, especially in win
ter. AS high heels were not then
introduced, the Roman ladies who
wished to appear taller than they
were fashioned by nature put plenty
of cork under them 1t remains to
be demonstrated that the French
women of the seventeenth century
were short of stature. and to their
desire to appear tall must be cred
tied the invention Of high heels.
Once lei a stumpy little bit of femi-
ninity get to wearing French heels
and feel much more than her inches,
and she will never depart from them.

Cover two cups of celery stalks cut

water. Add few slices of onion,
two sprigs of parsley, salt and pap
rika to suit the taste Let it simmer
for about three-quarters Of an hour,
then strain through a cheesecloth

two tablespoonfuls of gelatine soft
ened in quarter of cup of cold
water, and squeeze in the Juice of one
large lemon. Strain again onto a
large platter, wet in cold water. 1t
should form a layer an inch thick.
When cold and thoroughly hardened,

would probably be nice with chick

NEGRO SOLDIERS DISCHARGED.
Drastic Order Issued by President
Roosevelt.

Washington, D. C.-By order OF
President Roosevelt, acting upon a
report made to him by Brigadier-Gen-
eral q. A. Darlington, Inspector-Gen
eral Of the Army, every man of Com
panies B, c and d of the Twenty-flfth
Infantry, colored organization, will
be discharged without honor from
the Army and forever debarred from
re-enlisting In the Army OF Navy. as
well as from employment by the
Government in any civil capacity.
The action is one of the most dras-
tic ever taken by the President and is
sure to cause a sensation throughout
the service. The refusal of members

Gated in the shooting OF citizens at
Brownsville, Texas, near Fort Brown,
where the troops were stationed on
August 10, led the spector-General
to recommend the discharge of all of
the men and the President concurred.
1t is an example for the enlisted per-
sonnet Of the service which will
doubtless have good effect.
General Darlington says in his re-
port that the men appear to stand
together to resist the detection of tho
guilty, and for this reason they
should stand together when the pen
atty falls.

Who Retires Next MarcI--H. X.
Saith to Succeed Garfield.
Washington, b. G. President
Roosevelt announced two important
changes in the personnel Of his on.
cial family. Secretary Of the Interior
Hitchcock is to resign on March 4,
1907 and James r. Garfield, OF Ohio,
now Commissioner Of Corporations
in the Department Of Commerce and
Labor, has been decided upon for the
Secretaryship. The President has So
lected General Moody to
succeed Justice Brown in the SUI
preme Court Of the United States.
In announcing Mr.. Hftchcock's res
ignation the President says 1t was
the Secretary's desire to leave the
Cabinet year ago. He was per-
suaded to remain, and, after he de-
cided for the second time to resign,
Mr.. Roosevelt offered him the post of
United States Ambassador to France.
Mr.. Hitchcock declined this on the
ground that he had seen eight years
of continued labor in the interest OF
the Government and needed a rest,
and it was with regret the President
agreed to his departure from the
Cabinet
Mr.. Garfield will be succeeded by
the present Assistant Commissioner.
Herbert Knox Smith.
It had been understood for some
time that Attorney General Moody
would be promoted to the bench, but
1t was less well known that Mr.. Gar
field would be taken into the Cabinet.
Mr.. GARFIELD is a close friend of the
President and is often a participant
In the Presidents tennis games. 1t
was generally believed he was slated
for promotion, but few had any idea
his jump would be SO great. He has
been prominent in tho Investigations
made by the President into affairs
of the trusts, and one explanation
given Of his appointment as head of
the Interior Department is that the
President desires the workings Of
that department saaII be fully inves-
tigated, particularly in connection
with Indian affairs and land grab
bling.
Whether this explanation is cor
rect or not, the Presidential an
nOuncement included a statement
that Commissioner William A. Rich
ards, of the Land Office, would resign
at the same time Secretary Hitchcock

may be forty each. Interesting char

Thrilling scenes twenty each. Over
whelming catastrophes fifteen each.
Now by reading novels singly the eff
