SQUAD and Corn is a Dainty Dish.

For those people who like to expert
ment along new, tempting methods Of
cookery, squad and corn will have an
especial appeal, says the Delineator.
A most delectable variation from the
ordinary roast squad is prepared in
this fashion: Make dressing of green
corn by putting the corn into a sauce
pan with two tablespoonfuls of butter,
one egg, four ounces of water and the
necessary quantity of salt and pepper
to six ears of corn. Cook this mixture
until it thickens; then stuff the birds
with it. Roast the squad as you would
ordinarily, with slice of fat bacon

Where Much Lace Is Made.

It is a strange thing that climatic
conditions should have anything to do
with lace making, but it is said that
the damp climate Of Nottingham, Eng
land, is one of the chief reasons that
it is the center for the lace making in
dustry of the world. About 5000 peo-
pie are employed in the factories and
in other work necessary to the manu-
facture of the lace of these renowned
looms about 10000. Fully $4,000
people in the city are dependent upon
the industry. F. w. Main, the Ameri-
can consul at Nottingham, estimates
that the total output is about $25,00O,-
