ABALoNE FORMS NEW
pELICAeY FOR TABLE

The abalone of the California coast,
famous for it's brilliant shell, Is the
latest addition to the list of sea foods.
According to the Wide World Magazine
the abalone is a clean feeder, so that
its flesh is superior in soundnesS and
wholesomeness to that of the oysters
and other marine creatures which live
near shore in water contaminated by
many impurities.
The weight of a fairly large fresh
abalone is two pounds, of which all but
half pound is good meat, the shell
being very light. The meat is nutri-
tious, being highly albuminous; like
that of CLANS, oysters, Holsters and
shellfish generally. Albumen is one
of the chief elements of nutrition in
milk, cheese, eggs, etc.
The flesh as it comes from the shell
is too tough to be eaten. whether UNI
cooked, boiled, stewed or fried. The
toughness used to be partly eliminated
by pounding and hammering It, but
this did not render the meat really ten
der. No matter how long it may be
boiled the fish remains hard.
After many experiments San Fran
ciscan named ]. w. Gayetty discovered
that If the abalone is killed by cleo
tricity it's flesh is rendered soft and
succulent, like that of an oyster. A
company uses his method at an aba
lone canning factory in San Luis
Obispo county.
This company owns several roomy,
seaworthy boats, each carrying two
Japanese divers, one of whom goes
down for three or four hours and is
then relieved by the other. The diver
tears the abalones, with moss and sea-
weed attached to them, from the rocks
and sends up the shells as rapidly as
possible. Under ordinary conditions he
can send up a ton of abalones in an
hour. AS soon as the boat comes to
shore the abalohes, If not wanted at
once in the cannery, are thrown into
tank of salt water, the bottom of which
is strewn with rocks, so as to resem-
BILE the floor of the ocean, and are kept
there till they are wanted.
The flesh and juice Of the abalone
are treated together and the product
acquires a flavor. more delicate than
that of the oyster. This abalone food
may be stewed or fried, while the
juice makes a good broth, soup or
appetizer. 1t is relished by invalids.
The leading hotels of San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Oakland and other Cali
fornia cities have "abalone chowder'
on their bills of fare, and there are
many delicious ways of cooking the
prepared flesh.

I was watching her sweeten the APP
pies that were going into the pies, and
/ thought she did not put in enough
sugar. so, after she had got it all
ready and had turned her back I
reached into the cupboard and got
big handful of what 1 thought was
sugar and sprinkled it into the fruit.
And when cook came back to her pie
making she stirred the fruit with
big spoon, getting the salt all through
1t. But 1 didn't know that 1 got my
hand into the salt, mamma, honest.
I thought it was sugar" Then, blush
ing from her own confession. Tottie sat
down somewhat confused, for her little
guests were snickering at her expense,
some whispering, "Oh, the ideal" But
mamma only laughed and said: THAT
proves the old saying that too many
cooks spoil the broth. This time 1t was
the pie that was spoiled. But you
shall not miss having pie. I'll cut the
big custard pies for you, so make ready
for them"
And you may believe they all made
ready for the custard pie, and several
of them whispered to Tottie that they
were glad she had sailed the apple
pies, for the custard was so much bet
ter, for it tasted just like not Ice
cream.
And then the real ice cream, and
in great, big saucers. too. and with IL
was cake, lovely chocolate layer cake!
And the party was a success, after all,
even though the little hostess had salt
ed the pie.

AS to Physiology

A boy in a village school gave some
strange information along the line OF
physiology in his examination paper,
for he said:
"The spine is a long bone in the back
of a person.
ut has a hinge in 1t; otherwise we
could not sit down.
Tight lacing drives the ribs into the
heart and is therefore bad.
High heels pitch you forward, SO
that you are apt to get curvature OF the
SHINE. and this is dangerous.
"Appendissetus is something folks
never knew they had until within few
wears: and if the doctors had not gone
and told about it, it seems to me folks
would have been better off. There is
something called the vermifum appen-
dix that gets clogged up like the
kitchen sink pipe, and if you don't nave
it attended to you die, and sometimes
Won die If YOU do SO ii is a dangerous
disease anyway you fix 1t. sometimes
doctors think you have 1t When you
amt, and they go and open you by mis-,
take. and that is lots of bother anu
trouble all for nothing.
Germs are things you cannot see nor
smell. but you know 1t When you
have them all right.
"The bones of the body are to keep
us in shape. Without them we would
be like Jelly fish. The bones and the
muscles work together and without
them we would be very bad off anu
probably idiots. The brain is what We
think with. The more we have OF u
the more we think. People who do not
think have no brains"

PLEAsE?"

dipped ten sets of white teeth, and al
most on the instant there were ten
mouths emptied of the bites of pie
and ten wry faces turning toward each
other with expressions of disappoint-
ment. TITS salty!" cried out Tommy
Perkins. "Awi it tastes awful" And
from Nellie Briant came the cry:
"Who ever tasted salty pie before?
Ugh, it's nasty!"
AS soon as Tottie's mamma could do
SO she tasted the pie she had given to
Tottie, and she, too, took out the bite
and also made a wry face. But she
smiled as she said: "I guess cook
must have got into the salt instead of
the sugar when she was preparing the
fruit" Then she began to gather up
the pies, telling the guests that they
should not be wholly disappointed, for
there were two big custard pies
baked for the morrow-but which they,
the guests. might have right now. And
then would follow the ice cream and
cake, after which there would be nuts,
raisins and figs.
But while her mamma was taking
away the pies, which had proved so
disappointing, Tottie rose and said,
very deliberately: Mamma, cook did
not spoil the pies with salt; I did it,

clothes to beautiful embroidered ones

She then gave them food and flew

Instead of Sugar, but Good Ice

Tottie's mamma told Tottie that she
might have little party one Saturday
afternoon. "And you may go and in
vite your dearest friends" said Tottie's
mamma, tying Totties hat on her head
SO that the wind might not blow 1t off,
for once Tottie lost her hat while play
ing in the yard, for she had not tied
the strings under her chin. So the
naughty wind took away her hat, car
ried it off over the hedge and tossed it
into pond. And that was the last of
that hat of Tottie's.
And ever since then Tottie's mamma
had carefully tied Tottie's hat on her
head and Tottie had not suffered an
other such experience as the one just
related.
Down the street went Tottie, her
curls blowing in the breeze of a warm

Take any ordinary table and care

who knows how to use a hammer
with judgment and precision.
Once accomplished, you will Won

Burn dried orange peel through

the atmosphere, dispels any musty
odors and leaves a dainty fragrance
that nothing can surpass.
White clothes that have become
yellow from age may be restored by
soaking in butter-milk for several
days, changing the milk each day.
Never pour sugar over the whites
of eggs while beating them, but add
from the side of the platter, little

the air cells.
An excellent remedy for sore
throat is pineapple syrup, taken a
teaspoonful at the time.
If painful of lime is kept in the

There are three dangerous rocks
in the beginning of season which
a woman who must practice econ
omy is likely to founder; the first,
cheap novelties; the second, adver-
tised bargains which are sold cheap
because discriminating buyers will
not pay for wearing apparel sea-
son old; and, third, hasty buying of
the very new in fabrics, color or
shape. New shades of standard
colors are especially dangerous un-
less the person selecting them is
a prophet. Not very many are, and
even astute tailors go slowly in pur-
chasing until this or that dress or
color has made good"
Never buy a tailor suit of last
years cut, because it is cheap, and
because you think it can be recut
at home and brought up-to-date.
In 10 cases out of 20 this cannot
be done. IF it were possible tailors
with their workrooms full of people
at their disposal would themselves
make changes and reap the benefit.
When such garments are worked
over at home they usually end in
a homemade appearance, and, all
counted, will cost more than a new
seasons gown.

COST OF VIOLATING THE LAW
$2,OOO,OOO.

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-Fraud-
ulent weighing at the locks in Brook
lyn and Jersey City, has cost the
American Sugar Refining company
more than two million dollars.
The attorney general has issued a
statement announcing his approval of
the settlement effected between the
company of all the alcims which had
been pending. The company pays in
full the recent judgment of $134,-
All .03, together with interest, and
in addition $2,O00,000, representing
duties which have been unpaid dur
ing the past twelve years, owing to
fraudulent practices. OF this amount
a million and a quarter had already
been paid in to Collector Loeb under
protest, which protest has now been
abandoned. The statement says:
The management of the sugar
company have become convinced that
the alleged frauds actually existed.
The present settlement is substan-
tial restitution of the unpaid duties
affected by these frauds. This settle
ment in nowise affects the criminal
prosecutions of the individuals who
are responsible for the frauds, and
such prosecutions will be pressed to
finish by the government"

CITIZENS 5 MILE RACE.

In hopes tnat every athlete will
read the following suggestions, they
are herein printed for their guild
ance.
First, before competing, or even
entering upon the course of train
ing necessary to compete in this
event safely, each athlete is ad-
vised to have his heart examined.
Second, not only should the athlete
have his arms and body covered in
his practice, but he should likewise
wear loose fitting pair of long
wooden trousers, and he should have
his feet well protected, by strong
soles, from the pebbles and hard
road, and thus avoid bruises.
While the man running feels
warm, his arms and shoulders being
exposed to the cold air it is very
easy for him to contract rheuma-
tism and colds, which will result
later in life in much pain and dis
comfort.
The training should be started
with long walks at rapid gait with
frequent jogs, and the distance of
the jog should be gradually in
creased until by the Is of May every
contestant can safely jog at about
two-thirds his best speed the full
course of five miles without great
inconvenience. He should be es-
pecially sure to cover up warmly af-
ter his work, and after his heart
and lungs have resumed their nor
NAL rhythm, and his temperature
has become normal, to be rubbed
down in a warm room, free from
draughts, after which he should rest
in bed warmly covered up for at
least an hour.
Since the race is to be in the af-
ternoon, the best time to train for
this race is at that hour.
Tobacco and liquor should be
avoided, as no man can get in his
best condition and partake of these
things; especially is this true of the
young athlete who has not formed
the habit of depending upon these
stimulants.

MAN AND DOG
NEARLY STARVE
A dispatch from Scranton has thi

A dispatch from Scranton has this
to say:
Four days on the road from Chi
or thing to drink, almost cost
Charles Conner, young Canadian,
his life.
Word reached the Lackawanna rail-
road officials here yesterday that
Connor was discovered in a box car
at Elmira, after having been locked
in the car since the train left Chi
cago. A little yellow dog was his
only companion. Both Conner and
the dog were famished and in anoth-
er few hours would have starved to
death. 1t was the dogs bark that
saved Conner.
Conner's home Is in Chester Springs,
Canada. He wanted to work his way
east so that he could get home. In
Chicago he picked up dog. 1t was
as yellow as the yellowest, but it
stuck like glue and Conner didn't
have the heart to leave it behind.
Picking out what he thought would
be a nice car. Conner hid behind a
pile of malt bags and got himself
and the dog locked in.
The train didn't move as fast as
Conner calculated and pretty soon the
pangs of hunger gnawed at his vitals.
With an almost superhuman grit Con-
nors stood it for day, but after an
other day thirst parched his throat
and he all but lost consciousness.
When the train reached Bath the con-
ductor detected faint noise in the
car. 1t sounded like neither man nor
beast and the train crew avoided the
car. But, as the train went along
they heard it again. At Elmira it
was decided to open the car. The
seal was accordingly broken and to
the intense astonishment of the crew
dog barked weakly and a man
with haggard face and body too weak
to stand, crawled to the light from
under bag of malt that had hole
gnawed in it where in desperation
the man and the dog ate the malt.
Streaks of gray in Corners naturally
dark hair mutely told the suffering
he had endured in the agonizing ride
from Chicago to Elmira.
Nourishing food was provided both
the man and the dog by men from
Chief Special Agent Adamson's de-
partment.
