RECIPES FOR COOKING RABBITS.
Properly Prepared They Make
Most Pnlatable Game Dish.

Properly Prepared They Make
Most Palatable Game Dish.
In preparing rabbit there is one point
that should be remembered and that is
that the meat must be well washed in
cold water and bicarbOnate of soda be-
fore an attempt is made to cook 1t,
says the New York Times. This is to
remove that vaguely unpleasant flavor
that always clings TO the flesh OF wild
rabbit, and that cannot be overcome
in any other way. Put generous tea
spoonful of baking soda in the water
in which the meat is washed, however,
and there will be no further trouble.
In cooking the rabbit there are scores
Of formulas that may be followed. If
desired the rabbit may be divided, after
which the hind quarters may be broil-
ed and the forequarters used in making
soup or stew. 1t may be roasted or
the entire carcass may be divided into
joints and fricasseed.
TO prepare it in this fashion, put the
several pieces in a saucepan with about
n quarter of pound Of salt pork that
has been cut into strips; then dust
them with pepper. cover them with
water and let them simmer for fully
half an hour. At this time add a fine
ly chopped onion, n tablespoonful of
mixed parsley. Il few cloves and little
mace. Also mix tablespoonful of
-four and a little water to n smooth
paste and stir it in, simmering until
the meat has become very tender. Just
before it is removed from the pan add
half teacupful of good cream and if
necessary, thicken by adding little
more flour. Boil up again and serve.
A still simpler method of cooking the
rabbit is to roll each joint in -four be-
fore placing it in the bottom of the
kettle. Cover with cold water and cook
slowly for about one hour. When half
that time has expired, remove the COW
or long enough to permit the introduc-
ton of the necessary seasonings-salt,
pepper and three or four bay leaves
after which cover again and cook until
tender.
For those who like more intricate
dishes a German rabbit cake would un-
doubtedly prove attractive. To make
il, boil the disjointed and thoroughly
cleansed rabbit in water TO which car
rots, onions and plenty of savory herbs
have been added When tender remove
the jolnts-the liquor may be used In
making soup If desired-and chop the
meat very fine. Mix with it teacup-
full Of cold mashed potatoes, quartsr
of pound of previously cooked beef
tongue. one finely chopped onion and
minced parsley, as well as thyme. pep
per and salt. When these ingredients
have blended perfectly. moisten with
n cupful OF white stock, pack into a
well-buttered mold. cover with butter
ed bread crumbs and brown in the
oven. When removed from the mold
serve with tomato sauce.

CHAPTER VIII.

BY n singular clause in the will of Sir
Lucien Adare's grandfather, some old and
absolutely unique jewels were to go to the
eldest daughter of the house on her mar
riage--to be held by her in pawn, as it
were, until she either had o son or died.
If she died without leaving a son to in
herit them, they went back to the head of
the family. The head of the family, in
this instance, meant Sir Lucien. Sir Luz
cien's father, Sir John Adare, hal left
three children, the present baronet, and
his brother, who had died very shortly
after Mays birth, and when Hilary was
about seven years old-and an only
daughter Lillian. The latter wa1 the idol
of his heart.
She was a willful, wild, disobedient
creature. extraordinarily beautiful, but
perverse and unmanageable; yet the old
man adored her for her beauty, and even
when she openly and defiantly married
man who was half a bankrupt already,
mere mill owner, a person who, though
his forefathers had been of decent birth,
had never been received into the society
round-he forgaye her. Forgave her so
completely as to absolutely refuse to dis
pute her right to those jewels, which she
most insolently demanded and were
worth, as Eyerard had said, kings ram
som, although his eldest son. Lucien. had
almost resorted to violence to compel him
to do So
1T was a sacrilege,' said Lucien, fight
ing then as always for his rights. There
must be some law to prevent the giving
away of a huge fortune to a mere con-
temptible miller"
But the old man was obstinate. lie
would not dispute that strange clause
in his fathers will. Lillian was to have
the Jewels for her lifetime, and after her
they were to 90 to her son. If there
was no son, Lucien would have them-in
time.
AS n fact there was no son, only
little daughter born after many years;

List of Eight Bishops Selected by
the Methodist General Confer
ence at Baltimore.

Eight million six hundred thousan6
people abolished the saloon lest year,
including four entire States. The seven
prohibition States have a population
Of over 100000, while 27O00OO0
more live in other prohibition terri
tory, making about 40 per cent of the
total population of the United States
free from the influence of the saloon.
OF the thirty-four legislatures in ses-
sion last year, twnty passed laws un-
favorable to the liquor traffic, while
not a legislature has been in session
the present year that has not had one
or more temperance bills before it. In
recent years no legislation favorable to
the liquor traffic has been enacted"
Such was the language in which the
pogress of the temperance movement
in the United States was reported to
the general assembly Of the Presby-
terrain Church in session at Kansas
City.
1t was shown that the victories of
the opponents of the traffic were not
confined to rural districts, bnt were
obtained in such cities as Kansas City,
Kan; Atlanta, Ca; Birmingham, Ala,
and Worcester, Mass, each with aspop-
ulation of over 100000. Ten other
cities Of over $4,000; twenty-five over
10000, and seventy-six having between
5000 and 1000 have banished the
saloon.
The Temperance Committee reported
that while there was time when
more States than at present had pro
hibitory laws, more than twice as
many people to-day live under prohi
milton as at any previous time in the
history of the United States The ain
aim of the temperance work was glver
as twofold. First, to keep people away
from strong drink, and, second, tc
keep strong drink away from the PEG
pie. Continuing, the committee report
ed: THE latter may be accomplished
by law, so far as men can be made
to respect and obey the law. The for

There are two forces which cause
modern England to move-a crisis and
a craze. 1t Is far less necessary to do
something that is great now in this
country than it is to do something that
will attract the attention of great
many The circumstances might have
had a curious effect on the celebrated
of the past could they have delayed ex-
listing until now. For instance, Shak-
speare to-day would probably have had
to attempt to swim the channel to sus-
tain the attention of playgoers. Crom-
well might have found 1T advisable to
take trips in ''navigable balloon" TO
keep himself before the general public,
Garrick might have elected to descend
from the skies In n parachute to adver-
tise himself satisfactorily, and it might
have been necessary for the beautiful
Duchess OF Devonshire to maintain
her social reputation, to figure occa-
sionally In the divorce court. Motor
accidents thefts of jewelry and OF
other property, fires and civil and GRIM
inal actions are, of course, more I'm
portant clements in the building up
and maintaining of a reputation"
among us now than is mere excellence.

For Indigestion.

Often women have neither the fine
nor the necessary energy to go through
the various abdominal movements
which give such relief to sufferers from
dyspepsia. There are, however, a few
simple things that can be done to give
relief.
One is self-massage of the abdomen.
Whichever the clothes are removed, if
one will get into the habit Of locking
the hands and pressing them on the
abdomen and going around 1T a few
times, left side down, right side up,
it will give relief.
Work the hands well up over the pit
of the stomach IL suffering from nau-
sea and take in every part of the alb
domen in the revolutions.

A Frenchman, who apparently has
a good deal of time on his hands, has
been amusing himself by reckoning up
the number of kisses he has given his
wife during the first twenty years of
his married life
He finds that in the first year he
dispensed about 100 kisses a day, or.
say. allowing for birthdays and legal
and church holidays, about 36,r0O in
the year.
In the second year this number was
reduced by half, and in the third year
to ten day, while in the fifth year
his better half had to be content with
two a day, one in the morning and
one in the evening.
What happened after the fifth year
is wrapped in mystery" but at the
same rate of progression" he probably
arrived eventually at one kiss on the
1st of January every Leap Year.
