SCHNIIZ UND KLASE.
Treat the Gods Missed, but Proeurahle
In the Mohawk Valley.

Something in the line Of good things
the gods missed a great treat. And,
by the way, friend, have you ever
booked up to a dish OF schnitz und
klase?
NOT Thought so. Few have In these
times, and those who have been so
fortunate have just cause to recall a
delicious morsel time can never erase
from the tablets OF memory.
You can order schnitz und klase until
you faint, famished, awaiting it. You
will never get it In any public eating
place. 1t isn't on the bill OF fare and
never will be.
The up 10 date chef would give you
the laugh If you asked him TO concoct
1t for you. Ten chances TO one he'd not
understand what schnitZ und klase
could possibly mean. Few know, but
those who do know it know it well.
A good hig ham bone Is the central
portion, light dumplings and dried ap-
pies. Anything else would spoil it.
The ham bone gives the dish a
smoky favor, the dumplings give it
body. and the dried apples give 1t color
and tartness as well as sauce.
Put the ham bone In cold water and
open the fiues and let the pot boil.
While the pot is getting into good and
ready shape make your dumpllngs, and
make them as light as possible.
Put the dried apples in a separate
dish and stew them down to a nicely
When the pot with the ham bone bub-
bles and froths drop in the dumplings
contents Of the pot. That would spoil
the consistency Of the dumplings and
make n mess.
Any one who has watched a pot boil
knows when dumplings are done TO a
dot.
Take deep platter, fish out the
dumplings carefully with a drain spoon
and place them about the ham bone In
the center OF the platter. Looks dry,
but when you pour over all the dried
apples and their nice sauce-wow!
That's schnitz und klase as you may
have had 1t years ago when living
with a German family I'm the Mohawk
valley. You can eat Ii until your eyes
start out and your waistband grips your
middle. 1t will stay by you through a
hard days work, and If there Is any
left over you hit 1t again for supper
cold.
Ever try it?-New York Sun.

tion For the Reporter.
Nells Olsen who was for forty years
a trusted employee Of the New York
Yacht club, was always courteous 10
newspaper meR and glad to give them
such information as he could with
propriety make public. He was sorely
beset by news gatherers while the Dun
raven trial was going on, and often
said to the reporters with n smile. that
he regretted his Ignorance" On the
evening of Feb 81, 1896. when the
members Of the club met at the old
clubhouse in Madison avenue, there
was much quiet excitement because it
was well known that the question of
Dunraven's expulsion would come up
An enterprising reporter stopped Olsen
rs he came through the door and asked
do you think they'll eXpel his lord
shipY
Olsen said, How do | knowT and
then added, Did you ever read this?'
and handed to the young man a clip
ping from the Tribune which read:
For Dunraven, never tunbling, still is
grumbling. still Is mumbing.
In his lordly ancient castles over on the
distant shore,
And his talks have all the seeming OF a
daft and Jealous seaman.
And the Y rays through him streaming
show he's unfair at the core,
And because the Yacht club knows him
knows he's unfair at the core
He Will race here-nevermore.
Half an hour later the meeting was
called to order, and within twenty
minutes resolution was adopted
stripping Dunraven OF his honorary
membership privileges. When the re
porter saw Olsen he said, THAT was
good advance information" to whicl.
he replied, 81 never give Information

The popular notion Of the compass

surface OF the earth where the compass,
needle does point north and south, anC
II Is quite safe 10 say that such condi

But we must go further and say tha
no more unfavorable position could bC
found for compass than on board o
