ST0ESSEL IN PRISON
DEFENDER OF PORT ARTHup
 NOW A BROKEN MAN.
Loss of Uniform His Greatest Hun,ili. alton - Watches from Window Winter Palace Where He Once
 Was an Honored Guest.

St Petersburg.-An American news. paper correspondent recently was per- mitted to interview Gen. Stoessel the defender of Port Arthur, in prison. Here is what he writes:
 Two cold blue eyes examined me through a tiny wicket in the door. and rough voice said
 What do you want?"
 T wish to see Gen. Stoessel," I an swered.
 Have you permission?' said the voice.
 Here is my ticket" I said, pro- ducing card on which it was stated that the commander of the fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul had the honor to accord me leave to see the noble man Stoessel."
 The gate in the high stone wall was opened and soldier appeared. He then showed the way to the reception room in one of the buildings in the court beyond.
 We had not long to wait for Stoes- sel. Punctually at one o'clock he came into the room. He was dressed in a black frock coat, his voice was weak and he looked older and more wrinkled than when he was on trial a few months ago.
 Oh, yes one can live here, and in suffi cient comfort he replied to our inquiries about his life, but it is vegetable existence More than any thing l feel the loss of my uniform.

Accor- ingy, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Scnna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, swcetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any facilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time.
 It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and it's component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances To get it's beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading drug gists.

WHEN COOKING MEATS.

Never pour water into the pan in
which you roast lamb. Rub the meat
with salt and pepper and scatter
flour lightly over the top. Then cover
with the 'leaf' of fat which comes
with the roast. Cover with the second
pan of same size and haste with the.
juices of the meat. Water destroys the
flavor.
When ordering Hamburger steak,
select the meat. Do not permit the
butcher to put in tailings and discol-
ored scraps. Fresh rump or round
is best. Have it first ground, then laid
on the meat block and the onion
chopped into it with a cleave.
To get best results in stewing
chicken according to the good old
fashioned methods, disjoint the fowl,
wipe each piece clean and drop into
water just coming to boil. Cover
tightly and set back on the stove to
simmer very gently. When about
half done add salt When the meat is
just ready to drop from the bone you
will find your stock greatly reduced.
Add an equal quantity of milk.
thicken with flour and then add pep.
per and parsley chopped fine. Serve
on crisp toast.
If you intend to serve cold ham
whole parboil and then bake it. Scrub
the ham thoroughly and soak over
night in cold water. Next morning
wipe off clean, lay in cold water in a
granite iron pot and bring just to a
boil. Pour off this water, add more
cold and bring to boil the second
time; add handful of bay leaves and
some whole cloves Simmer for two
hours, remove from the pot, peel off
the skin, lay in dripping pan In
which you have poured cup of wa
ter and one of sherry. Cover with
bread crumbs and pepper, bake until
golden brown.
