l canned $4,000 cans. The best two
pound cans sold for 81 and from that
down to 81. We hired natives to turn
the turtles over on the beach and get
them to the ship. Fifty cents was
paid for turning and fifty for landing
them. Each weights two or three hun
dred pounds. The turtles go up on the
low islands at night to lay their eggs.
They are turned and in the morning
six or eight of them are tied together
and gotten into the water They
make their own way to the ship, for
they naturally try to get into deep
water. Their location is kept by a lit
tie flag tied to them.
1--WE are going to New York to get
our vessel. 1t will be some little Nova
Scotia fishing schooner, and will not
cost over $4,000. Then we will have
to have cooking outfit, captain, a
mate, three sailors and a timer to
solder the cans. Mr.. Seymayr and 1
will go and Mr.. Restle will stay here
to look after this end of the business.
Mr.. Seymayr will attend to the boiler
and steamer for the canning and I will
make the soup. We will can 80 to 40
head day of 10000 cans a day. We
will can 100000 cans altogether.
I'm 1895 we had a little schooner 100
feet long that would carry 104 tons.
The season will last from the middle
of July to the middle of September,

HOW VARIOUS PEOPLE
MAKE THEIR COFFEE

n. Y. Notwithstanding the
American idea that to preserve the
aroma coffee should be made in a
tightly covered pot, almost all foreign
ers make it in an open saucepan.
Curiously enough, the best American
cup of coffee 1 have tasted was also
made in this way.
Il enjoyed it at breakfast in the
suburban home of New York Judge.

There is row on over the origin
Of the new and most toothsome deli
cacy. A preparation of boiled fish
served with a white sauce, inclusive of
oysters and shrimps. Lycurgus says
he imported this chef-d'oeuvre from
Greece and let Frank Thompson into
the secret; one Of the fashionable clubs
insists that Frank brought it there
from Delmonico's and the Young Hotel
claims it for it's new and admirable
chef. AS for the latter. Lycurgus says
he served the dish one evening to him
and the chef caught on at once and
made it the leading feature of the
Young's menu. There is a slight diff
ference in each service but wherever
the fish shows up, diners are enthusi-
astie and don't care particularly
where the piscatoria1 delicacy comes
from SO long as they can get it. The
exact secret OF preparation is pretty
carefully guarded.

PENOUCHI FOR CACTUS.
Two pounds brown sugar, one tea
spoon butter, one teaspoon vanilla, one
cup milk, one cup chopped nut meats.
Boil sugar, butter and milk about
fifteen minutes, stirring most of the
time. Then remove from heat, add
vanilla and nuts. Beat five minutes
and spread in buttered pan.
SPONGE CAKE.
Break three eggs in a large bowl and
beat with egg beaten until very light;
add one cup sugar, one and one-quart-

spoon soda and one of cream tartar;
lastly add one-third cup boiling water.
This is very easy to make, and is just
lovely with whipped cream.

a teaspoon of salt to the water before

TEA FOR MEN INSTEAD
Of HARDER DRINKS

n. 7. Sun.-Visiting Englishmen in
New York are occasionally gratified
at the spectacle of afternoon tea in
mems clubs. The beverage is served
with mitigating circumstances and hot
buttered toast at the hour that used
to be sacred to the cocktail when men
dined earlier than is now usual
Pehaps the increasing lateness of the
dinner hour in the clubs has something
to do with the institution of afternoon
tea. When most men dined between s
and o'clock it was not regarded as
utterly ruinous to the liver and the
after o'clock.
Now, when the average dinner hour
is about o'clock and many men do not
dine until after half past seven, cock
tails at o'clock seem a trif1e early.
There is still the cocktail contingent
toward o'clock and later, but the
cocktail, except on the dinner table,
is less popular in New York clubs than
it once was.
In some Boston clubs men drink
three or four cocktails before dinner,
but such a sight is rather rare in New
York. Five o'clock tea, then, is
natural enough thing for the men who
get away from their work in time to
sit about the club couple of hours
before dinner.
1t is served in the usual way with
two pots, a sugar bowl, slices of lemon
for those who take no milk and milk or
cream for those who like it. Some

Now that tomatoes are scarce, a good
substitute in salads, to mix with the
lettuce, is the young white leaves of
the cabbage, cut very fine and mixed
with French dressing. Another substi-
tute for tomatoes is found in the fine
leaves of watercress, but these ought
to be rinsed in hot water and revived
on the ice, otherwise they may carry
f1uke. The common beans which are
grown in our gardens, white, Lima

Afternoon tea as the Englishman
knows it at home, and as served in ten

it is likely to be something a little diff

ly thin slices without cutting the slices
off, thus giving the appearance of a
whole cucumber. Insert between each
opening very thin slices of radishes
with the peel on, sliced to the exact
size of the cucumber. The combina-
ton of colors will be found very ef-
fective. Chill thoroughly and serve

HARD GAME
ON SUNDAY

Interest in the game to be played
between Deacon Whites Edmonton
team and the Lewiston team next
Sunday is constantly waxing warm
Lewiston will be somewhat handicap
ped by the absence of Deacon Thomas
who is out Of the city. Ferris, the
long percentage hitter, will not be Ia
the game. Neither will Guy Wilson,
catcher. An effort is being made to
have Herman Seigrist, the jeweler, on
the ground to officiate with the big
mitt, for he is said to have won a rep,
utation while at school with college
and town teams played with. He has
consented to be there to help out IL
necessary. Ira Cleveland, captain of
the Normal team, will probably be on
first base, Gus Thering also being lined
up for that job. Bruce wicklund will
hold down the other two bases with
Lundstrom at short. The outfield and
pitchers have not yet been decided
upon.

BOXING
TIGHT RACE
FOR PENNANT

1t is very apparent that the fight for
the pennant among the teams in the
Northwestern league will this year be
warmer than ever before. Aberdeen,
now heads the list and race and has,
on paper long lead over the Other
teams. This may be accounted for by
the fact that she has been matched
against Vancouver, which team is con-
sidered the weakest in the league.
Russ Hall and his Butte crowd is
now rubbing noses with the Canucks
and in this series Butte may regain
honors lost last week with Dugdales
bunch at Seattle. Spokane stands
about 'alf and 'alf.
