SARDINES.
The Way They Are Cooked and Pre-
pared For Market.

The Way They Are Cooked and Pre-
pared For Market.
Sardines are caught in nets, and after
being we'll washed the heads are cut
off and the fish are sprinkled lightly
with salt. After lying for a few hours
they are placed on grids in rows almost
perpendicular. The frames are then
placed in pans containing boiling olive
oil. The oil is changed as soon as it
becomes too black and dirty for con-
tinuing the cooking process.
AS soon as the fish are considered
sufficiently cooked. they are withdrawn
from the pans of Oil and the grids are
placed on the tables covered with zinc,
the surface of the table inclining to-
ward a groove in the center. The oil
is thus carried to vessel prepared to
receive it Round the table stand the
women whose business it is to pack the
fish closely and uniformly in boxes.
The boxes being full, the fish ale COW
cred with fresh oil and the lids are then
soldered down. Thus Theoretically
sealed they are placed in iron baskets
and immersed in boiling water. The
smaller boxes are thus boiled for halt
an hour and the larger ones somewhat
longer. in proportion to size of box
Tie fish are then ready for the market

The Wearing of Hats.

More OF less of Il modern habit is the
constant wearing of hats. Even as late
as 1859 Horace Walpole mentions as a
matter of course that he never wears a
hat Remember" he says, writing to
a friend VIGOROUSLY careless about his
dress, who was expected home from
Holland, Everybody that comes from
abroad is supposed to come from
France, and whatever they wear at
their first reappearance Immediately
grows the fashion. Now if, as is very
likely, you should through inadver-
tence change hats with the master of a
Dutch smack in a weeks time we shall
all be equipped like Dutch shippers
You see, l speak very disinterestedly
for, as l never wear a hat myself, it is
Indifferent to me what sort of a hat ]
don't wear

Why FUNSTON QUIT CUBANS
Because They Violated White F1aa.
Says Generals Friend.

Because They Violated White F1aa.
Says Generals Friend.
There IS considerable interest at
Washington in General FunstOn's trip
to Cuba, says q special dispatch to the
New York Times. While in Washing
ton Funston frankly admitted that he
was not popular with many Of the Gu
bans, and there have been all sorts Of
stories as to why. Word has come
from Havana that some Of the insur
gents there have accused him Of de-
serting the Cuban insurgents In their
last war with Spain. 1t was this ac
cusation which recently moved friend
of General Funston to tell the real
story of how he came to leave the Gu
ban service. in which he had fought
for nearly two years.
At the fight at Las Tunas, which was
the most severe Of the insurrectiOn,
Funston commanded battery Of artil
lery which included dynamite gun.
The battle lasted for -fifty-one hours
and ended in the defeat of the Span
iards. Immediately after it Funston
Spaniards. by whom he was turned
over to General Lee, consul general at
Havana.
According to the story, Funston quit
the Cubans because he saw them de-
liberately violate the white flag and
butcher Spanish officer and forty
six men. 1t was just Mt the close OF
the battle that a little white flag was
raised over one Of the Spanish block
houses, and the officer in command left
it to parley with the Cubans.
The Cuban who commanded the in
surgents operating against the block
house went forward to meet the Span
lard. The Spaniard was alone, but the
Cuban officer took one man, negro.
with him. AS the two officers met the
Cuban turned away and gave sign TO
the negro who chopped the Spaniard
to pieces then and there with his ma
chete. Soon afterward the blOckhOuse
surrendered. and the Cubans. in order
to conceal the butchery of the Spanish
officer. had the entire garrison Of forty
six men chopped down with machetes.
Funston saw it, but was pOwerless to
prevent the massacre. 1t sickened him
of service with the Cubans, however.
and he never gave another stroke in
their behalf.

A MOSQUE IN LONDON.


ENGLISH NOLAN medans to Erect ..
Costly Place Of Worship.
English Mohammedans are to have
mosque in London, says the New York
American and Journal. Plans for the
edifice are already drawn, and the
$500, 900 necessary for building it is in
hand. but the final selection Of site
has not been made. 1t will be In tho
west or southwest of London. and
Bayswater and South kensington are
spoken of as probable neighborhoods.
The MOhammedans in London num-
Der about 5000. and they constitute In
proportion to their size the richest re-
ligious community in the metropolis.
The Islamic celebrations which the
public have been privileged to SEE
have been as remarkable for the fash
ionable dress of the celebrants as foS
the novelty of the ceremonies them
selves.
The new mosque, which is designed
by w. ]. Chambers, who also prepared
the plans for the Working mosque, il to
be an edifice Of luxuriant domes and
exauisitely fashioned minarets. The
architects desire is that the building
should be Of pure white, with the
domes gilded. Other interested persons
prefer that it should be green, the color
of Islam, and it is likely that coIapro
mise Of white Carrara marble alter
mated with green will be the outcome
of the official deliberations.
One of the most essential things il
building a mosque is that the principal
interior wall facing those who pray
should be in the direction of Mecca.
The latter feature was considered SO
important in the building of the WO
king mosque that captain Of an 1ndis
liner was called in especially to t6&s
the bearings.

Moses, basing your calculations on the
Dimensions of the tables of stone. as
given by the Talmudic writer's! In
the Talmud folio 3S. column 3 it ID
said that the tables OF stone upon

and three ellis thick. In the Bible.
Exodus xxi, 10, We aEs told that
Moses went down from .ne mount,

were in his hand"
Hand" mind you, not hands, though
n must be admitted that it would have
taken a strong pair of hands to per-
form the task Of carrying them, even
on the level. Now, we will put the
Talmudic and the Biblical accounts to-
gether and apply the mathematical
rule. The Hebrew ell or cubit was, at

Authorities on forestry say that
seventy-five years are required for the
oak to reach maturity; for the ash,
larch and elm, about the same length
OF time; for the spruce and fir, about
eighty years. After this time their
growth remains stationary for some
years. and then decay begins. There
are, however, some exceptions to this.
for oaks are still living which are
known to be 1000 years old.

ALL BODIES NOW
 OUT OF THE MINE
INSPECTOR WILL SUBMIT FIND- lNGS, DEBRIS WILL BE REMOVED AND WORK RESUMED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Yolande, December 19.-(Special. )-It is believed at this time that all of the bodies have been removed from the mine. thorough search has been made, but no more bodies have been discovered since yesterday. The total number of bodies recovered so far as known amounts to 56. It is now be- lieved that there were 30 people who escaped, making a total of 86 in the mine at the time of the disaster.
 The only thing left to do now Is to get the mine cleared up so that opera lions may be renewed. This work will commence just as soon as Mine Inspec- tor Gray has looked over the ground In order to make a report regarding the cause of the explosion. It Is not known just how long this will take. but owing to the fact that the mine was only severely damaged in one or two places it is not thought that this will occupy great amount of time.
 The bodies of several of the mules were found and taken out today and 1t is believed that the others will be removed within the next day or two.
 Most of the bodies have been sent away for interment or have been buried in the immediat evicinity. Sev- eral of the men killed were well known all over the district, and were known as experienced miners, and on all sides words of sympathy have been ex- pressed for their bereaved families.
 It is understood that Dr. Grove is on { his way to the mine and will arrive here within the next few hours. He was in New York at the time of the accident. and the news of the terrible calamity that had befallen the little camp was a great shock to him.
 The miners on all sides are loud in their praise of the generous treatment that they have already received at the hands of the doctor, and there Is not man among the whole crowd who does not feel that the explosion was one of those happenings which no human agency could prevent.
