DISH OF MEXICAN ORIGIN.
"ChiIi Cclorow" for Those Fond of
Highly Seasoned Viands.

A dish that cannot fail to delight the
palate of those who love highly seas
Oned yiands. and yet, strangely
enough, viii not induce an increase OF
the body's internal heat, is recon-
mended by Harry Leighton, whose tai
ents as an amateur cook are quite on
par with his ability as an actor. This
is a Mexican concoction. called Chill
cOlorow, and those who care for such
dainias VIII find it a most delectable
mixture. To make it, Mr.. Leighton
takes quart of boiled tomatoes and
one onion that has already been chop

blespoOnfuls of granulated sugar, one
tablespoonful Of the prepared ground
Spanish pepper-a cOndiment that
may be purchased at any frst-class

Browning Crumbs.

The majority of cooks who attempt.
TO prepare escallOps or other dishes
that are supposed to be finished with
a top layer of Drowned crumbs usual
ly spread the bread or cracker crumbs
over the surface, finally dOtting them
with bits of butter. As the invariable
result such a dish is always Drowned
unevenly. The butter, spreading as it
does in spots, browns nicely, but all
around these spots are unbrOWned
spaces that give a most inartistic if
not unfinished appearance TO the dish.
To avoid this it is only necessary to
roll the crumbs fine and then mix
them with the melted butter before
spreading them over the space to be
Drowned. Those who have never prac-
ticed this method cannot fail to be
delighted with the improved appear

VIOLET s14Ue WELL LIKED.

Bedroom Furnishing.

a charming wall paper displayed in

they are, and very rightly, used con-
siderably for furnishing. They are
particularly clean and pretty for
bedroom; that is. if the violet or Law
endeT shades are selected. For a sunny
exposure violet gives a cool effect.
Most women select blue or pink for
their bedrooms. but if violet is becom-

the solid tone is hot used the dainty
floral designs in papering are not suf-
ficiently pronounced to conflict seri-
ously with a dislike for the color.
In spare room violet is very pref

is furnished with old mahogany, al
though the two little beds are of
brass. The mating is violet and
white, with two or three woven rugs
Of the same coloring.
The paper shows clusters OF yiOlets
on cream-colored ground and the
colonial fireplace and deep-embrasured
windows are of snowy white paint. The
white flowered muslin curtains have
plated rufiies. Can any one imag-

SEVERE BEAR ATTACK
STOCK MARKET RAIDED AND

NEW YORK. August THE bears fell
upon the stock market tooth and nail dur
ing the noon hour today and swept prices
downward, violently uncovering extensive
selling orders on the way down and buying
hastily to take profits on the short side be-
fore the end Of the hour. AS a consequence
the slump was followed by q quick rally.
The onslaught Of the bears wakened up
what had been a quiet stock market during
the forenoon. The absence Of liquidation
had encouraged the idea that the weakness
OF the market which had been shown for
two days past was over The uncovered
bears were disposed. therefore, to cover
their shorts. and the market showed con-
siderable degree Of strength.
The crumbling away of one or two points
in the list, notably sugar and the Inter-
borough Metropolitan stock. gave warning
Of pressure to liqudate. The market re-
sisted for time but the attack by the
bears developed the vulnerable position.

CONFIDENCE IN AMERICA.
Ancient Country Ready to Welcome
American Enterprise.

Consul General VIM. H. Michael Of Cal
partment regarding openings in India for
electrical engineering:
THE little city Of Poona Is situated forty
five miles from Bombay at an elevation of
1900 feet above sea level. 1t is week
end resort for many Of the weil-to-do citi-
zens Of Bombay, who have fine cottage
homes there. or have reserved suites Of
rooms at the hotels and boarding houses.
1t Is rather a fashionable hill suburb Of
Bombay. 1t has all sorts Of accommodate
tlons for sports and q race course that Is
considered equal to any in India, which
boasts of many of the finest mile courses
In the world.
1.-THE latest scheme for improvement at
Poona is an extensive electric car systemI
A Bombay firm has made a start with q
scheme to provide POona with electric light
for streets. power and cars. The supply.
at first, is to be confined to the municipal
limits of Poona and this area enlarged as
the demand requires. 1t Is proposed to
supply the energy from central station,
and to lay underground mains. or to erect
overhead wires, as may be approved by the
local government. All the streets to be
supplied are under control Of the munich
pal government. but 1t Is already under
stood that there will be no opposition by
government to the proposed scheme.
No country stands as well in India as
America in regard to all kinds Of electrical
machinery and supplies. as well as to
methods in the use OF them. American
electrical engineers are here considered the
best in the world. and I would modestly
suggest that they pay some attention to
the Poona proposition.
THE extensive electrical works in Kash-
mir. under the direction of American elec-
trical engineers (already described at
length in consular and trade reports), are
making rapid progress toward completion
The power is derived from the Jhelum
river. below Baramulla. The big fiume,
capable of carrying 10000 horsepower, is
completed. and the turbines to furnish 5000
horsepower are being Installed. Electrical
power for mills and other purposes will
be conveyed to Serinagur. many miles
away. The scheme for extending the DOW
er Is a large one. and great commercial re-
suits are confidently expected. The COM
fort and convenience that will necessarily
follow to a large territory occupied by mil
Ions of people would be hard to describe
The items Of lighting and operating cleo
trio fans alone are worth the expenditure
on this great enterprise
