The Ennlish Channel.

One Of the most famous bits Of water
in the world is the English channel,
which separates and yet unltes the sis
ter countries of England and France
and has been the scene of so much Of
their history. 1t extends on the Eng
llsh side from Lands End to Dover
and on the French side from the island
of Ushant to Calais. Its entrance from
the German ocean is the strait Of Do
yer, twenty-one miles wide, while at
the other extremity, where 1t joins the
Atlantic, it is 100 miles from shore to
shore. The greatest width midway is
150 miles. Owing to the strong current
setting in from the westward, the high
winds which frequently prevail and
the configuration of the shores 1t has
a roughness which has become proven
bial and few cross 1t without seasick-
ness.

MAKING X Simple.

the members some trouble, for he was
unable to attach any meaning to it.
Finally he determined TO seek an eX-

close Of the service approached him on
the subject.

"0h, see you do not know what a

'"Yes; many time"
"That is not phenomenon. And no
doubt you have often listened to lark

clouds"
"Yes."
'"That again, is not phenomenon.
But If you saw that COW sitting on a
thistle singing like lark that would

OF the abnormal climate of Kadiak
island, Alaska, writer says: in spite
Of its situation In such high ATTITUDES
we find here what may well be de-
scribed as the parting of the ways be-
tween the arctic and more temperate
regions. For, thanks TO the moderating
influence Of the japanese current
which flows along its southern coasts,
KadIak is favored with climatic condi-
tions such as are unknown even In
places a few miles north or east Of 1t
on the mainland of Alaska. So pro-
nounced Is the demarcatlon line that
even on the island itself traveller In
summer will suddenly emerge from
amid forests and vegetation, OF almost
tropical luxuriance into barren, des-
olate land of silence, where lofty snow
capped mountains tower aloft, brood
ing, as it were, over the past terrors OF
an arctic winter, which will soon de-
scend once more, enveloping them in
its Icy grip

ROASTING BEEF BY DIRECT CAS- FLAME

A revival of real roast beef is in
progress and those men who mourn
fully declare that the right kind of
roast beef is almost unknown on
United States dinner tables may take
courage and also notice, for not even
the English roast beef tradition had
so fine a flavor or emerged from the
oven so rich in juices as the meat
cooked in the newest way. says the
Chicago Tribune.
And one doesn't have to buy enough
meat TO last an average census fam
lily a week, either, in order to be
sure of beef. 1t is due entirely to i'm
proved practice in the application
of direct heat to the meat.
The average family roast of beef
throughout the country is about six
pounds. more often a shade under
than over. When a woman becomes
skillful enough to roast meat so that
the fiber looks red when a slice is
removed, yet when the carving knife
is pressed against the meat and
scraped across the piece carved from
the fiber turns the palest shade OF
gray, while the blood simply flows
after the knife and not one teaspoon
ful OF the juice has escaped into the
pan during the cooking, 1t comes pref
ty near the perfection Of a cooking
process. OF course it may be cooked
as much less as desired, but always
the Juice to the last drop may be re-
tanned.
incidentally, when every house,
keeper means over the high price of
beef. this real roast beef cooking
which will be taught in a couple of
hundred cities and towns during the
coming season Of free cooking lee
lures, is all in the interest of econ
omy.
The great trouble with roast beef
is that few women know how to give
a fine bit of roasting beef even re-
spectful handling. 1t is salted and
peppered and floured and water is
put into the roasting pan, all to make
il nice. Not one of those things is
done under the new rules, yet the
meat will be so tasty that it is almost
possible TO eat 1t without sailing.
Another argument in favor of the
new rules is that the loss of weight in
cooking by the older methods reaches
one-quarter Of what goes into the
ovens. The progress Of appliances
intended for cooking by gas reduced
this loss to about one-fifth. The new
est rules reduce II to one-eighth and
further provide this loss shall be all
fat. In fact, what a man pays the
butcher for he gets when it reaches
the table.
The only consideration as to time
required concerns the thickness Of
the piece to be roasted. Up to seven
inches this method may be used,
even to nine, but not If the latter
Is to be cooked medium only in case
the meat is to be rare.
To be sure Of this perfection in
roast beef the roast should be re-
garded well in buying. II 1t is to
be boned and rolled, be sure the fas-
Jennings. whether skewers or threads,
which hold 1t are loosened Butch
ers firmly believe they cans roll such

Il Would Elatter Man.

Few men have deserved and few
have won higher praise in an epitaph
than the following, which was written
by Lord Byron on the tomb Of his dead
Newfoundland:
"Near this spot are deposited the re-
mains Of one who possessed beauty
without vanity, strength without lnso-
lence, courage without ferocity and all
the virtues Of man without his vices
This praise, which would be unmean-
Ing Hattery II inscribed over human
ashes, is but just tribute to the mem.

at Newfoundland May 3, 1903, and died
at Newstead abbey Nov. 1S, 1905"

roasts tight enough to suit house
keepers.
If such a roast is too tightly rolled,
the ends of the meat swell out, push
ing the best portions of the meat up
into a hump at either end This
standing as it should on the platter.
Moreover, this tight rolling pre-
vents the heat from penetrating to
the interior of the meat to reach the
ends which the butcher pokes into
the center of the roast with the loose
scraps. When the meat is carved
out rolls this bunch of purplish red
fiber, often stone cold. When the
roast is not rolled too tightly the heat
penetrates more easily to the inner
portions of the piece.
For a small family it is we'll to
find a butcher who carries some
small animals. Then, if you really
want your moneys worth, get this
butcher to save for you the first
porterhouse of two ribs This des-
ignation varies in different parts of
the country.
With the first rib there should be
no tenderloin, and only a little on
the outer end of the second. But
you will find many persons delber-
ately selecting the sirloin side of the
bone and taking the fiet to be used
as such or in various special dishes.
If it is impossible to get this first
cut, often called a Delmonico cut,
and the roast which you get must
carry tenderloin with 1t, have the
tenderloin taken opt and ask the but
cher to cut you one steak from the
sirloin side. Wrap the tenderloin in
waxed paper and it will keep "a
hours nicely for some special dish.
These two cuts probably present
as little chance for waste In cooking
and serving and handling as any
beef used for roasting, and thus they
make up for the increased cost over
the cheaper rib cuts with their pounds
of fat and muscle and rim, for which
no one cares.
Wipe the roast with a dry cloth.
Place il in a small roasting pan, un-
less the family demands a swimming
pool Of brown gravy; in that case
choose a larger pan.
Direct Flame Necessary,
The direct flame of gas oven is
necessary for the process, and mean
time any vegetables may be boiled
in the upper oven with the same
heat, thus taking all smell and steam
of cooking out Of the kitchen and
house.
Heat the broiling oven about half
the time usual for broiling. Put the
roast close under the flame and
quickly scar 1t. Turn 1t without
sticking a fork into the meat and
scar the other end of the fiber.
II too heavy a crust Is formed at
this time, the heat can not so easily
reach the inside of the meat, while the
crust continues to thicken and hard
en-, also causing waste. When the
Pi"NSSS 10 CoHlihucu WIN IHe up VI
a six-pound roast three or four inch
es from the tips of the flame, the best
results are secured.
II the heat Is not sufficient and a
white-lined pan is used, the Juice can
be seen. at once leaving the roast
and appearing as dark brown matter
in the fat Of the pan. The heat should
be increased II this is seen.
Turn the meat about every twelve
minutes. The thicker the piece the
longer It will require for cooking.
Put no sail or water with the meat.
II salt Is insisted upon because of tra-
dlIon, It may be added when the
roast is two-thirds done, as 1t can
do little harm then.

The fat in the pan is so hot that
1t keeps the juices of the meat seal
ed in, and the turning of the roast
serves In place OF the basting on
which so many supposedly fine cooks
lay stress. There need be no smoke
during the operation.
No salted or otherwise seasoned
roast beef can equal in flavor a roast
so cooked in which every bit Of juice
Is retained
Some time somebody will put out
an oven just for roasting with these
ideas for foundation. That will mean
a roast beef revolution.

Life at Lehman Is Too Slow for

Pendleton High school girls cer-
tainly have the right idea of good
time, says the Pilot Rock News
About two weeks ago a party of
eight of them, under the care of a
competent chaperone, passed through
here on their way to Lehman springs
for a months outing. Arriving at
the resort, they joined others of the
same party, set up large tent and
are now enjoying themselves as only
bunch of jolly students can.
Life at Lehman is proving too slow
for them. however, and they have
decided to move further into the
mountains. They will leave Lehman
about the first of the week and go
to the Peaks. where they will re-
main until the opening of the fall
