"THAT FRENCHMAN,"

Out of the forgotten years the
voice of a popular San Francisco
novelist-the voice of Archibald
Clavering Gunter-came to the
dumfounded multitude at Tanfo-

which the multitude might vent an
emotion 1t had never felt before
upon the man who had inspired it.
Long ago Archie Gunter coined the
explosive phrase when he came 10

invisible, appalling avenues of the
upper air.
THAT F'renchmanw The forceful.
involuntary tribute attempted
nothing of analysis. Yet it con-
tanned priRitive fullness of mean
ing that no flowing sentence could
convey. Back of the phrase lay a
depth and breadth of feeling which
no chain OF SyllaDieS mlBnl measure.
For the first time San Francisco
saw man fly and the significance
of the thing could be translated into
no words that would not deform it
There was nothing sufficient unto
the spectacle except itself.
Paulhan attempted no very high
flight yesterday. The winds were
leagued against it. Some said he
scared 900 feet above the ground
some said 600 1t matters not. The

Summer Recipes.
Eggs in Aspic Jelly.

These are very popular summer dish
and not at all difficult TO prepare. The
aspic jelly is simply meat jelly, beef veal
or chicken seasoned highly with sail,
pepper, celery salt ard lemon juice and
thickened with gelatine. For eggs or
chicken, veal or chicken stock are used.
For tongue or other dark meats beef
stock is required. The stock is seasoned
with vegetables, pepper corn and cloves
during its cooking Then il is strained
and TO every two quarts of the stock a
box of gelatine that has been softened in
cold water is added. together with the
whites and she Is of two eggs. Then i
is boiled hard a few moments until the
eggs have entangled the floating particles
of scum. Then strain through cloth. If
not perfectly clear, repeat the straining.
Add the lemon juice and pour into an
oblonS granite pan just enough of the
liquid To cover the bottom and let il stiff

which a tablespoonful of vinegar has been
added. To do this in the French way,
which wraps the white around the Noll

before dropping in the egg. This gives IL
a rotary motion. Now drop the egg in
carefully at the center of the greatest
ebullition, and after a moments revolving

the egg to cook through. Repeat tbs
process until all are cooked. Now arrange

Porch Furniture.

Porch furniture is expected to stand a
very great deal of rough wear. and. gen.
orally speaking, it does pretty we'll AT
the same time it gets shabby looking, of
course, while it may really be kept in
good condition by exercising moderate
amount of care.
At the outset, perhaps. l should say, for
the benefit of those who have not yet
tried it-that If you are going to paint or
varnish shabby chairs or other articles
of veranda furnishings, do so when they
are put away in the fall, and give them
all winter in which to get dry.
Most people give the coating in the
spring or early summer and when the
first warm, humid days come paint and
varnish seem to give. with the result
that gowns are often ruined, or, at all
events, injured a good deal.
The paint and varnish not only improve
the appearance, but also the wear OIL
porch furniture. but the renovating must
not be left too long.
The kinds of furniture for outdoor use
in summer include willow, wicker, prairie
grass and the different varieties of cane.
Again. quite good deal of wooden
furniture on the order of mission In very
light weight is used out or doors now
adays. 1t certainly is very substantial
and restful looking. too. whether in the
wood browns of dull forest green's, while
the addition of cushions covered with
gay cOlOrS makes up q most attractive
whole.
To keep mission wood in good order is
very little trouble. True, it shows every
speck of dust, but in these days of
dustless busters, the furniture may be
kept free by having one of these con-
veniences on hand. If sun or rain has
created ravages the application of a well
oiled rag will usually restore the wood
TO it's original condition. allowing the oil
to sink in and then rubbing with clean
rag.
Should the wood become actually dirty
from just general use, ~ and water
may be applied with excellent results.
When dry the furniture is ready for the
oiling.
Chairs and tables manufactured from
prairie grass and known as crex furni-
ture is very attractive. but it has a great
way of catching the dust A stiff brush
will dislodge it in the crevices and a
damp cloth is better for removing it when
brought to the surface.
The parts of chairs under the seats and
the lower parts of tables catch and also
retain the dust very easily. SO that every
day is none too often to give attention 20
the busting.
The finish applied to the crex furniture
is exceedingly durable and If kept free
from dust will last almost indefinitely.
Willow furniture, though not SO SUBJ
stantia. as the crex, requires very little
