HOW TO MAKE COLD MEAT LOAF.
Far Better Than Any Warm Hash
During the Summer.

avoid warm hashes in summer,
and have in their place a meat loaf
that can be served cold, writes Chris
tine Terhune Herrck in Woman's
Home Companion. Chop your rem
nants of steak or roast fine mix with
them one-third as much cold boiled
ham or tongue. season well, and add
couple of raw eggs beaten light. II
rather dry, moisten with gravy or
stock, turn into creased mold with
plain sides, cover, set mn a baking pan
with hot water about It, and bake for
an hour This loaf may also be made
with raw beef. but then it must COOK
for two hours. Let IL get very cold
before turning out and slice. Veal
loaf NAV be prepared by this recipe.
and even cold roast lamb may be
treated I'm the same manner. The
main point TO be borne in mind is the
seasoning. BE careful that this is well
done and you will have a popular

STRANGE CAPTURE OF SALMON.
Incident Proves That Belief Of Some
Fishermen Is Wrong.

Fishing a well-known river In Nor
way this June, one of the tenants of
the fishing lodge opposite ours caught
fish of 20 pounds In the morning and
lost another his spinning line being
broken by the rush of a heavy fish
Fishing with prawn the afternoon OF
the same day. the same angler, in the
same pool, got into good fish at his
first cast After long fight the fish
was gated and landed Then was re-
yealed strange state of things. The
prawn tackle had never touched the
fish; in fact the hooks were a foot or
more from IT, They had caught in the
cast which had been lost that morn
ing, and was now twisted into knots
and tangles, no doubt by the salmon
endeavoring to get rid of the treble
Norsk cast and hooks. The line had
been got rid Of As the prawn swung
down the pool II had grappled the lost
cast still attached to the salmon, and |
fish (33 pounds, cast, and tackle were |
recovered, We watched the incident |
from the road and crossing the river |
handled the recovered cast Many |
maintain that salmon once hooked and |
