parently been forty years OF & for

America who eats mussels except at
rare times-perhaps some picked mus
sells? They are with US In the same
category as tripe.
But behold the genius of the French.
When the waiter brings in an enor-
nous silver bowl with a domelike sill
yer cover and when he removes the
cover, then you forget everything in
the world except the delicious savory
smell of the steam which rises from
the myriad shells that open lovingly
for you to extract from them the dain-
ty sea favored mussel that turks with.

Mussel, did / say? No; these are not
the ordinary mussels that Americans
know. French ~gastronomic genius has
transformed them into moules mari
Mere. In some deftly magical way the
French chef has impaired a delicious
suggestion to the moules, just that in
deinable. evanescent memory of gar
lic-garlic which in the hands of the
ordinary cook is an offensive and dead
ly weapon, but which in the hands OF
a cook of high degree-an artist in
fact-is a means for achieving some of
the supreme triumphs of his art.
After the moules you will have any
thing you care for-dainty slices of
galantine or sliced capon Nesting amid
watercresses and then perhaps some
peaches In a little basket where the
fruit Is infolded In leaves from its
own tree and ripened to precisely the
right turn on some ancient wall in
the sunshine of an old French garden.

Quick GROWING Vines.

To owe unsightly places and to
form a harmonious background in your
flower garden quick growing vines and
tall plants, like hollyhocks and even
sunfiowers, should be chosen.
Masses of color along fences are of
ten effective. For this purpose nc
vines are better suited than nastur-
tiums, sweet peas or some of the many
varieties of Towering beans, like the
scarlet runner or the hyacinth bean.
Masses of morning glory, ornamental
gourd, the moon flower, japanese hop
or wild cucumber may be trained to
cover unsightly walls or high board
fences. They are also effective when
trained over trellises and old trees.
The cypress vine with its delicate
foliage and sparkling blossoms is beau
tiful, but care must be taken In soak
ing the seeds and planting properly.
The corboea is another tender vine
that finds favor.
Some of the hardy climbing plants
may be started this spring, so that
they will be in the order Of succession
next year.
Climbing roses, ~hydrangeas, wistaria,
clematis, Virginia creeper, trumpet
vines and honeysuckle all have their
mission and should be Investigated by
the ambitious gardener.

Dainty Work For Lent.

The new designs in lingerie dresses
pass belief, SO fine and so beautifully
wrought are they. Some have panels
down the front of val insertion, with
motifs and other designs. No two are

tiste, with panels of eyelet English en-

frocks. 1t is dainty work and helps
I'LL in the days. The pattern batistes
are Exceedingly fine and delicate and
will make beautiful summer dresses.

they shot a donkey, ~mistaking the
creature for a wild animal. They sold
the hide. and 1t finally came to the
hands of John Barnes In Upton.
When the Chickasaws returned to
the region Of Upton for their annual
hunt the next fall Barnes invited them
to a shooting match. the prize to be
the skin of a very rare animal.
Thirty braves appeared at the con-
test, and one of them won the prize.
When he saw the skin he turned II
over and said: "Ha, hal Me kill him.
Me shoot him! Seer And he pointed
to the fatal bullet hole.
Then Barnes told them that they had
killed a donkey, a very useful animal.
but he was sure that they had done it
by mistake, believing 1t to be a wild
animal.
The Indians listened attentively to
the white mans words and then con-
suited together a few minutes. Finally
they separated, each brave going to his
pony, unhitching him and leading him
to the spot where a gang Of white men
stood. Barnes In the midst of them

he belong to the woods. We find him

man. We honest. We have ponies:
that's all. Take pay" And he mo-
toned to the long line of ponies. held
by their owners.
"How many ?" asked Barnes.
"White man say" returned the In
dian; take plenty"
The honor of the red men was not
equaled by the white men, for, be 1t
recorded to their shame, they took
from the Chickasaws thirty-ive ponies
to pay for the accidental killing of one
donkey.

THE AMERICAN VOICE.

Oscar Hammerstein Tells What Makes
a Prima Donna.
The ideal prlma donna must compass
three requisites to deserve her name
head, heart and vocal chords-and no
two are worth much without the third.
1t is strange that 40 woman reaches
her full meaning in the world, espe-
ciaIly IL she expresses that meaning
unsteady, without passing through a
Borrowing. struggling past. 1t Is that
which molds her, says Oscar Hammer
stein In the Delineator. 1t is the
speech of the soul In the child song, in
the mother song, the hero song that
shuts out the world and helps us to
breast the tides which bear us to some
new and truer sense of life's vast pos
sibilities. This soul speech is never
learned save through one teacher. ex-
p~erience, and, alas, by the time the
pupil is perfect in the lesson and
knows what 1t is all good for she Is no
longer young.
All the possibilities are embodied In
the American girl, never heard of In
grand opera fifty years ago, but with a
record during the latter half of the
nineteenth century which foreshadows
the future. A few more years will see
her a radiant combination of charac-
ter, beauty, dramatic ability and voice,
the ideal queen of song.
When the great people of America,
not a few capitalists and devotees of
fashion. demand grand opera and make
Its support the same serious business
which continental Europe has done for
three centuries we shall not send
abroad for our dramatic singers. 1t

A Novel Cushion.

A woman who can cleverly utilize
odds and ends that most of us would
throw away has found a fascinating
use for small embroidered tea cloths
that are too small for a card table and
200 big for a centerpiece. She turns
them into sofa pillows that are strik-
ing IN their novelty.
If the cloth has a deep embroidered
border the center Of the linen Is cut
away and the border appliQued to a

air Of handsome hand embroidery.

East African Religious Ceremony.

Recently a strange ceremony wal
performed at ~Changamwe, East Afri
ca, to bring rain. A ho~use-to-house
visit was made among the natives by
a self-appointed committee who col
lected from each hut the sum of two
annas. With the total thus collected
an OK was purchased. A procession
was then formed, In which all the
available children took part. After
the procession had proceeded around
the district for a period of two hours.
the OK was sacrificed, prayers from
the Koran being sang by the children.
The meat Of the OK was then boiled
in pots by adult participators and
given to the children to eat until the
whole was consumed. The bones and
remaining ofal Of the carcass
later put in a sack, carefully carried
to the sea and thrown into deep water.
Circumstantially rain fell for a few
hours on the succeeding day.

"Mr. Lane was insane, l am certain.
l tried to have Mr.. Knapp take steps
to lock him up. But Mr.. Knapp could
not believe that his brother was 30
wicked as to wish to take the life Of
his own child. l think he was fearful
Of a scandal in which the relationship
should become known. But there was
q time, a few weeks ago, when I was
near squirting Mr.. Knapp to action. 1t
was at the time of his trip to Virginia
City. MI. Lane came to the house
while 1 was away and scared the ser
wants into fits with his threats and
curses. Luella had the courage and
tact to face him and get him out Of the
house and l t~elegraphed for Mr..
Knapp"
81 remember the occasion. though
I didn't know what was going on"
well, Mr.. Knapp was very angry,
and had a long talk with Lane. He
told me that the creature cried and
pleaded for forgiveness and promised
amendment for the future. And Mr..
Knapp believed him. Yet that very
night you were assailed with Luella
in Chinatown"
The truth flashed on me. The
groans and cries behind the locked
door in Doodridge Knapp's Office, the
voices which were like to one man
pleading and arguing with himself,
were all explained.
II think the assault was something
of an accident" she continued; cor,
rather, it was more the doing Of Ter
rill than of Lane"
What was the cause of Terrills
enmity? ?" l asked. HE seemed to take
a hearty personal interest in the cas-
for a hired man."
For one thing, a family interest. /
think he is a son of Lanes early
years. For another, he had a violent
personal quarrel with Henry over
some matter, and you have had the
benefit Of the enmity. But I don't
think you'll hear of him again-or
Meeker either. They will be in too
much of a hurry to leave the state"
At her last words we were at the
wharf, and landed free from fear.

well, 1t was sever ear ago that
he married. His wife was much
younger than he-a lovely girl, and
her parents were rich. How he got
her l do not see. 1t was his gift of the
tongue, l suppose, for he could talk
well. She was not happy with him,
but was better contented when, two
years later, her boy came. Last year
Mrs. Lanes father died, and she came
in under the will for more than 81, 000,.
900 worth OF property. Then Mr.. Lane
changed his habits. He became most
attentive to his wife. He looked to
her wants, and appeared to the world
as a model husband. But more was
going on than we knew. From the
little she told me, from the hints she
dropped. she must have looked upon
him with dread. She failed rapidly in
health, and six months ago she died."
"Murdered?" I asked.
~ believe it with all my SOUL" said
Mrs. Knapp. But there was no evil
%dence-not a particle. I tried to find
1t, but it was beyond the power of the
doctors to discover"
And his motive?"
He thought he was heir to her for
tune. When he found that she had
left it with Mr.. Knapp and me, in
trust for the boy, his rage was fright
full to see. Before he had time to put
any of his wicked thoughts into action
