board that satisfies MadaIre's desire for novelty with which to surprise her guests and appeal to their gustatoTy sense. For there is something very zest- ful, if almost ludicrous, in the appear ance of the scorched plank. so sharply accentuated in its contradistinction to the immediately laid table aglitter with up-to-d date table furnishings.
 An Indian Practice
 While no one seems to know positive ly just where or by whom this method of cooking was first practised, it is gen erally ascribed to the Indians. In an old history of Virginia, alluSion is made to the custom as followed by the ab- origines. Probably the hunter, the fish ernan, the camper living in the wilder ness copied the method from their In- dian guides and handed 1t down from generation to generation, until to-day 1t IS recognized as the most notably pe- feet method for cooking fish and cer- tain cuts of meat.
 Successive generations of Southern colored ''rnammies" always cooked their corn-bread on a plank before the fire, and 1t is reasonable to suppose they got the idea from the red man.
 Johnny Cake"
 A well-inown writer on things domes- tic, Virginian by birth, has this to say anent her mammy's johnny-cakc: "There never was, and there never will be this side of the millennium, such johnny-cak as my old mammy-rest her dear white soul-used to bake in front of her open wood fire. She measured a generous quart of meal into her wooden tray and sifted with it teaspoonful each of salt and soda Then she wet it with a cupful of buttermilk and one of sweet milk Lastly went in tablespoonful of melted butter The dough was rolled out half an inch thick andSspread.smoothly upon a sweet, clean board. which stood in the sun most of the time when it was not ;n use. This was propped up in front of the red coals at such an angle that 1t get the glow of the fire, yet could not slide off, and pasted with butter every other minute until it was brown and crisp and

or melted butter before using each time
 Of course it is needless to say the food must be served on the plank. which can rest on large, napkin-covercd tray or platter. To slip the fish or steak to a serving dish, or to hide the edges of the plank by an ornamental silver band, as advised by some chefs, is to destroy the whole cachet of the dish. An edible garnish that partly hides the burned edges of the plank is in harmony, and can be used with fine effect.
 Planked Shad
 When one speaks of planked fish, shad immediately suggests itself as the one plankable fish, but white fish, blue fish,

BUToHERED BY MOsLEMs.

A letter from Sis, Asiatic Turkey, says
that seven Armenian preachers, two
delegates, and three American women
passed through Sis on their way TO the
yearly synodicsl meeting at Adans the
day after the fighting began at that
place. They stopped overnight in the
village Of Ssgh Gschad, some with the
local governor snd others with another
Of the leading men Of the village, Hsgi
Bey.
The next day party Of Mohamme-
dams took these travellers from the houses
where they had spent the night, and
gathering together other Armenians liv-
ing in Sagh Gschsd until they had 90
10 sll, butchered all the unfortunstes ln
the streets of the village. The women
we're treated violently.
The wife of the governor watched the
killing OF her guests In the street below
from the balcony of her house. The
bodies of the dead we're GATED ont
to the county and thrown over a cliff.
The Armenian pastor of the church at
Pekke, although left for dead, recovered
his senses, made his way to Sis, where
he told his story.
Oonstsntinople witnessed another batch
OF executions yesterday morning, when
