What Hungarian Partridge ls.

A writer in Die Woche warns tour
lists against the temptations of the bill
of fare and commends the old German
adage, What the peasant knows not
he will not eat' Special or national
dishes,' he says. should be avoided
because in order to appreciate them
one must be accustomed to them. We
always form an idea as to what these
dishes should taste like, and our first
experience with them is always dis
appointing. If you must eat these ma
tional products of the kitchen, order
them in the best hotels or at the first
class restaurants, for there they are
idealized by careful preparation and
superior ingredients" The writer gives
special warning against the dishes with
queer names which are served In Aus
tria and advises tourists to ask what
these preparations are before ordering
and eating them. AS an example he
quotes Hungarian partridge" which
may be found on nearly all bills Of
fare. This is really dish made Of
pork '1eavings" namely, ears, tails,
muzzles, etc, land as little like the
name as the Englishman's cheese prep
aration is like Welsh rabbit"

Here is a scheme for ~farH2ers who
have rural delivery, and we don't
charge q cent for the patent. When
your house and gate wheIe the box is
are ON level ground, get a wire and
fasten n END to the top Of the gate
post and the, other to the house OF
porch so that the wire slants down
toward the. gate Then rig a pulley on
the mail box and slide it along the
wire. The end OF the wire at the
house is a loop and is put over a hook.
Now get another hook and tasten il a
little lower on the house or porch, so
the wire will slant toward the house
when hooked there. When you want
the mail box at the gate put the house
end OF wire on the upper hook and it
will roll 10 the gate on the pulley.
When the man mas put something in
the box take the wire off the UPPER
hook and put it on the lover one, and
the box will come to the house. This
saves a trip to the gate in bad weather,
and the further the gate is from the
house the better the scheme. When
the house is on higher ground than
the gate, use the same scheme, except
that a strong cord is fastened to the
box and wound up with a crank wher
you want tie box At your house.
