A TRYING ORDEAL.

The Fattenins Process Of Marriage
able Girl In Tunis.
The manageable girl In Tunis has a
trying ordeal to go through after her
betrothal TO the man not Of her choice,
but whose choice she is. She has to be
fattened to the required size before the
ceremony can take place.
AS soon as the betrothRl takes place
she is taken to a room and there coop
ed up till the fattening process is con-
Guided. Silver shackies are fastened
round her wrists and ankles, and the
task OF her parents and future hus-
band Il to increase her bulk till her
wrists and ankles fill up the shackles.
II the husband is a widower or has
discharged" his first wife the girl has
the shackles OF the first spouse placed
on her. and she must I'LL them out
1t takes a long time to do this as a
rule, and sometimes It cannot be ac-
complished n spite Of all efforts. 1t is
then open to the future husband to cry
or the bargain or waive the condition.
In the case of q bachelor he takes care
to see that the bracelets and anklets
are not too large-that is, If he IS fond
of the girl-but If he is being forced
into the marriage by his parents he Is
great stiekler for custom. Stout
girls are the more quickly snapped up
in Tunis.-St. James Gazette

Easier to Make Desert Proof.

A recent ruling of the land office
makes it much easier for desert en-
trymen to make final proof. The
land office holds that where final
proof submitted upon desert entry
shows that the entryman has cult
waited and irrigated at least one
eight of the land, and has construct
ed bitches, owns a sfficient water
right, has brought water to the land
and is prepared to turn water up
on the entire tract when it shall have
been cleared and prepared for cul-
tivation, he is not required to show
further that water has actually been
distributed ever all the irrigable
land in the entry.

TO FILE RECIPES.
Reports Saved Of Nineteen Lectures,
Not One Ever Used.

Not One Ever Used.
Many housekeepers clip recipes and
directions for cookery from newspa-
pers and magazines and file them
away in envelopes and boxes in a
useless way. A woman who saved
full reports of nineteen courses Of
cookery lectures and enjoyed her pos
session confessed that she had never
tried one recipe out of all that remark
able collection. In her case it swas
conservatism that kept her bound to
a few methods. but there are other
reasons why some women do not try
new ways. In some families members
are unwilling to eat any dish that they
are not accustomed to or that their
fathers did not eat before them. In
other households time is limited. and
This latter reason has some weight,
yet the conservative cook Is likely to
overlook new ways that after a few
trials would prove to be shorter or
better than the old
1t is strange, but altogether true.
that many housewives place implicit
faith in rather indefinite recipes for
Aunt James cake or Betsy Jones' APP
pie pudding; but. given a rule from
one of the modern text books, they
will use it with suspicion and will
want to add little more of one thing
or cut down another ingredient just
q tritle. They seem to resent being
told exactly how to do thing. In
their minds the miscellaneous collec-
ton, printed and sold for charitable
purposes, or the rules for cakes and
pies sandwiched between the testi-
mony of miraculous cures are far bet
ter authority than the exact formula
in the public school cookery text book
or of the advanced schools of domes-
tic science.
1t is noticed that housewives are
especially slow to adopt new methods
in breadmaking which take from the
process almost all the uncertainty. In
fact, it is almost impossible with the
modern recipe and a fresh yeast cake
to fail in making a light. sweet loaf.
In the old way little yeast and much
time were used; in the new method
more yeast is taken, and the time from
Sitting the -four to taking the loaf
from the oven is reduced to five hours.
But the bread tastes of the yeast"
asserts the unprogressive cook. Just
so years ago, conservative men and
women, worrying over the passing of
the brick oven. were sure that bread
baked in a stove tasted of the iron.
The best housekeeper selects wisely
from the old ways and takes readily
to the new that are proved good by
those who have superior opportunity
for experiment and study If the
science of household economics de-
pended on the average family kitchen
for advancement it would do little
more than mark time.

Yorkshire PUDDING.

For the Yorkshire pudding sift three
cupfuls Of -four and add three cupfuls
of milk and three eggs. When the milk
and flour have been mixed to smooth
paste drop the eggs in one by one
without whipping them or separating
the yolks from the whites. Beat the
batter well after the eggs are added.
Putting the eggs in whole and then
beating the batter gives it a light.
puffy appearance when baked. Add a
pinch of salt and pour the batter into
the pan with the roast beef. where it
will catch all the savory drippings. If,
however, there is much gravy in the
pan remove some Of 1t before putting
in the pudding lest it become soggy.
1t will bake and brown in about half
an hour. No more pudding than can
be eaten should be made, as it is not
good cold and cannot be satisfactorily
reheated.

LAST OF A VANISHED RACE.
"Stroneback," Once King of Detroit
Dockwallopers, Exponent of
Type That Has Gone.

Last of his race is "Strongback,"
reminder of the days when dockwal-
lopers were a vastly different class
from the Industrious, peaceable men
now employed along the water front.
There isn't a man who has been
identified with shipping interests in
Detroit for any length of time who
doesn't know "Strongback." And a
still smaller number whose memories
run back to the time when he first
made his appearance on the docks.
John Droback is his name, but be-
cause of prodigious strength when in
his prime he acquired the sobriquet
of "Strongback," which has chung To
him ever since He admits having
worked on the docks for 40 years,
and no one essays to dispute his
claim, he having been a familiar
figure when the first of the present
generation of marine men arrived on
the scene.
In his earlier days "Strongback"
performed several feats, once saving
q life by plunging into the river, and
again preventing a disastrous con-
Migration in the D. & C. warehouses.
Although only a shadow of his former
self. he still retains much of his
and few would care to mix
things with him.-Detroit Free Press.
