Hearty Supper Dishes.

Stuffed Eggs.-Boil the REQUIRED
number Of eggs for % minutes,
plunge into cold water to cool. then
remove the shells and cut in halves.
Take out the yelks and mash with q
fork adding half the quantity Of
grated cheese, with salt, cayenne or
paprika, and butter or olive oil to
bind. Deviled ham or chicken. or
sardines rubbed fne-in fact, any
highly-seasoned meat or fsh-may
be used instead Of cheese. Fill the
cavities with the prepared yelks,
heaping lightly, place on a bed Of
freshly cooked rice, and pour a pint
or more of white sauce over all. The
sauce must be hot; and a little grated
cheese improves it for most palates.
Corned-Beef Hash.-To each cup
full of f~nely-shayed or chopped corned
beef allow one pint of cold boiled
potatoes, chopped or sliced very thin.
Season with salt, pepper and a dredg-
ing of -four, and turn into a irving
pan containing a little hot butter or
fresh, sweet fat. To the above guam
tity, add half a cupful Of the liquor
in which the beef was boiled, and
cook over a moderate fire about
twenty minutes or until a rich brown
crust is formed, lifting it from time
to time with a knife, but not stirring
it. Fold over like an omelet, and
serve hot, garnished with parsley.
Tomato Rabbit-Skin eight or ten
ripe tomatoes and cut them in slices.
Cook twenty minutes and season
literally with butter. salt, paprika
and mustard. Add one pound Of
cheese broken into bits, and when
this is melted, pour over toast or hot
crushed crackers.
Cured Mutton-Fry an onion in a
tablespoonful Of butter; add one
tablespoonful Of flour, the same Of
curry powder, and a teaspoonful Of
salt, and when smoothly blended, pour
in gradually one pint Of hot mutton
stock, or water, if you have nothing
better. To this add three cupfuls Of
cold boiled mutton cut in small pieces;
simmer very gently for ten minutes,
and serve on a hot dish, surrounded
by a border Of rice.

LOUISIANA HEN BEHIND
Her SISTERS OF The
NORTHERN STATES.

Louisiana hens do not lay as many
eggs per year nor do they produce
as much meat per head as do those
of the Northern states"
This was the statement of Mr.. Il.
3. Bruce, treasurer of the Louisiana
Poultry Fanciers' Association, and
one Of the foremost breeders OF high
grade poultry in the state, in the
course of a conversation with sew
eral poultry fanciers on Saturday
afternoon, says the Daily States.
"In making that statement" said
Mr.. Bruce, Il refer to the ordinary
farm-yard chickens raised by the
average farmer. who has become SO
used to letting his fowls raise them
selves that he does not know what
can be done with then if they are
properly handled.
Tt is all in the handling, and one
of the strongest features Of the
poultry show to be given here in
December will be a demonstration of
the differences and the methods,
which if followed, will mean a com-
plete revolution of the poultry bust
ness of the South.
mo matter where the poultry is
raised it has to have a certain
amount of care or it does not do its
best. Hens in the North, whole
aoeks of them, will often average
200 eggs per hen per year. Here,
it will be found that is is only those
to which the best care is given that
will equal this record, thus proving
that with the proper education Of
the poultry ~raisers, they can do as
we'll as their brothers in the North.
This will be but one of the many
valuable and interesting features in
the show, which from present indica-
lions will be a complete success in
every way"
At the recent meeting of the asso-
the dates of the show were
fixed on December Is, II, IS, and
10, and Mr.. Loring Brown Of Smyrna,
Ca, was selected to judge all poultry.

HAS NO DESIRE TO DISCUSS CASE.

LAD M DESIRE III DlSGUSS CASE.
From Tuesdays American-PEess:
An American-Pres reporter called
on Mrs. Jesse Smith this morning for
the purpose Of getting a statement
from her with reference to the dying
declaration made by Dr.. Temple
Smith, for whose death a mo true
bill" had been returned by the grand
jury.
Mrs. Smith was very much averse
to giving anything for publication,
and said that she did not think a
further word from her would better
the situation at all. She did say,
that she thought the grand jury
action was sufficient to exonerate
her Of the charge and that had the
statement Of DR.. Smith been taken at
face value by the jury, they would
have returned a bill against her.
The jury evidently, she said, had
more faith il the testimony given be-
fore the coroner than in the
statement made by DR.. Smith.
Further than this Mrs. Smith de-
clined to go, saying that she would
rather the papers keep still in the
matter from now on. She said that
she had read scarcely anything Of the
case since its beginning, but that
friends have told her that many
have been said in the papers
that have been misleading, and that
has served to place her in a false
light. Whatever you do say, please
say no more than that ! feel that the
action Of the grand jury is Che best
evidence of my innocence of the
charge that had been held against
me-" Mrs. Smith said as a last word
% the reporter.
