BEST PANIED CHICKENS.

A famous entertainer whose de-
licious PANIED chicken is noted among
her friends has consented to give the
secret of the peculiar favor that 20
other cook seems to get.
"I have never found broiled
chicken satisfactory. 1t was either
raw or burned to a crisp, and most of
my cooks get in too dry and tasteless.
"Just by luck I hit upon the plan
of cooking the chickens in the
steamer, basting with plenty of but
ter and a little water until they are
almost done.
Five minutes before they are to
be served I remove the steamer from
oven, take Off top, and put the pan on
the bottom Of gas stove exposed to
the fame of broiler.
This gives that crisp BROWNIES
that can only be found in broiled
chicken, yet the meat is tender and
juicy. Care must be taken not to put
the chickens too close to the fame,
and to watch carefully, as the meat
at this stage easily burns.
''To make dressing remove chick
ems to platter, put q tablespoon or
more of -four in the grease left in the
steamer, and stir smooth off the FIRE.
Return to stove, let it brown a bit,
then stir in enough cold milk or
cream to make a smooth, thick gravy.
Let it boil up once or twice. Season
highly with black and cayenne pep

alienist, said at a recent dinner IN
New York:
Then there is the cunning lunatic,
of whom there used to exist a good
example at BridgetoWn.
There was a half-witted youth In
BTidgetown to whom the neighhoring
farmers liked to offer a penny and a
nickel.
Gathered about him in circle on
market day the farmers, one after
another. would say:
Now, whichll yer have, Peter?
Here's a eent-here's nickel-take
yer choice
"And fool Peter would invariably
choose the cent rather than the
nickel, and the farmers before such
incredulous foolishness would roar
with laughter, double in two and slap
their legs noisily with their brown
hands
'Peter?' t said one day to the
lunatic. why is it that you always
take the cent instead of the nickel?'
peter grinned a very cunning
grin.

he, would ever get chance to take
another one?' "-Washington Post.

OVercating Again To Blame.

Excessive eating is one Of our
hasdiest and most needful scape-
goats. Almost every sin and trouble
Of the human race is attributable to
it. We grow fat because we eat
tso much. We die young because
We eat too much. rheumatism and
all other ills OF the flesh come from
excessive Indulgence in food. We
are not sure but that earthquakes
and volcanoes result from this com
mon human vice. For could not a
plausible thesis be maintained that
the excessive eating Of the inhabi-
tants OF one part of the earth so
alters the pressure upon its crust
as to cause cracks and adjustments
along its weakest lines?

that an explanation which explains
sc much should also explain the pres
