The Evening" Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

-rHE cynfc Of u circle had recently bought himself a horse.
The cynic admits that he is not SO good a Judge of horses as he
tulhnment of a lifelong cherished and lifelong denied ambition, the cynic
was anxious, delightfully."-, humanity NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. anxious to see
how his horse would turn out.
She went beautifully for two or three days.
We were all duly called upon to admire her fine points, her small
head and feet. her glossy coat, her broad chest, her excellent knee action.
The cynic WI happy. 80 happy that he almost forgot he was a
cynic, So happy that he even forgave when Molly passed over the fine
points and said she'd rather have a horse with less knee action and more
of a name and tail.

"The horse is gone bad" he explained. "Her front legs are all stiff.
The stable people don't seer to know what's the matter. They say she'll

the animal goes lame fol- good. Just my luck"
iousy Joined in the assurances that, of course, the horse would be better
in a day or two.
"Wen, now isn't that queer?" she gloated-yes, "gloated" Is the
proper word. DO you know my father had a horse nee that did Just
like that. She went spendidly fol- a day or two after he bought her, and
then went stiff all of a sudden was never good for anything, again
The veterinary said she must have had something the matter with her
feet in the first place, and that something must have been injected into
them to make her go all right for a day or two. Father kept her ror
awhile and then sold her to a tin peddler for fifty dollars. And he paid
three hundred and fifty for that horse. Your horse make me think of
her a lot, too, in her knee action and the way her feet re shaped. Now,
The iady-whoa1 somehow came in just about then and
reinforced our assurances that the horse would surely be all right in a

the Children
Frying an Egg on
a Cake Of Ioe.

Would you believe that eggs can be
fried on ice? Is 1t possible to take an
ordinary frying pan. hold it over a
cake Of ice, break an egg into It and
fry the egg to a turn without a fire,
simply holding the pan in the hand?
1t can be done. This and other spec
tacular tricks of q similar nature were
performed at a recent electrical show
in Chicago. Many skeptics lost their
money betting against 1t. They felt
the cold pan, broke the egg into it,
held the pan Eel the ice themselves
and then burned their fingers while the
egg was frying to find out If the pan
was really hot.
1t was all done by wireless. Under
the table was a powerful electromag-
net. When the operator turned On the
electric current, which was the ordi-
nary alternating current from the city
mains. a powerful alternating mag
netic field permeated everything In the
vicinity. In any metal part near by it
set up induced electric currents, which
caused the egg to cook.

Shocking a Lion.

A circus and menagerle containing
Eve lions, among other savage beasts,
was recently on exhibition in Balti-
more, and the largest lion was taken
sick with some unknown ailment. 1t
was determined to try the electric cure,
80 after the matinee the keeper led
him out into the ring, and a strong
collar with a long chain was fastened
around his neck, while his legs were
secured with stout ropes. The g%alvanic
battery was of unusual strength, hav-
ing three cells. Contact was made with
the lions skin, and the needles were
slowly drawn out, gradually increasing
the force of the current. The sensa-
ton was new to the lion. At first he
remained quiet as If trying to under
stand4whatquee thing had taken hold
Of him. but as the current grew strong
er he became weary and rolled from
side to side, and when the full force
Of the battery was put on he gave a
mighty oar I'M spraug TO DIS e
shaking off his ~tormentors. The roar
started the four other lions to roar
ing, and for a few minutes the sounds
were terrifying. Then the battery was
removed and nux vomica injected be-
hind the shoulder. The lion Is now
fully recovered. ~~

How TO Stuff Fowls,

In stuff1ng a chicken 1t should not
be filed to bursting point, as the dress
Ing, If it is mostly Of bread, will swell,
and II 1t bursts through 1t gives a
most unidy appearance to the rooster.
Chickens .phe und roasted -~hsNla hs
covered until ready to brown, as they
burn quickly and dry up before they
are really done inside; also they re-
quire a generous amount Of butter in
the cooking. Quail are considered at
their best when having a tiny savory
stuff1ng. They are boiled in butter. 1t
takes three pounds of butter for one
dozen quail. Chicken should be wrap
ped In clean linen cloths If laid on the
ice and not come in contact with any
thing that might not be absolutely
clean. Ducks are chosen In the same
way as the chickens. They are not as
economical eating, nor are they as
varied In daily usefulness, the chicken
being by far the best all rounder.
AS regards the toothsome capon
chickens, the rule respecting age does
not hold good, for there is rarely a
more delicious bird to be enjoyed than
a well fed and well dressed capon.
Age does not dry up the juices, and,
like old wine, they grow more mellow
with age. At three years old even
they are as tender as chicks with the
proper chicken favor fully developed.
1t should be borne IN mind as a good
rule In choosing poultry that the small
boned and short legged poultry are
likely to excel the contrary sort In del
lcacy Of color, favor and fine texture
of their flesh.

sick and crippled dolls were burned
too. There were 125 dolls In the hos

Of them that could talk probably
shrieked at the tops Of their voices for
help, but no one heard them. Most Of
the dolls could not say themselves
because they had broken arms or legs

out Of them. They had to stay and
be burned, and all the little girls that
had sent their dolls to the hospital got
up funeral ceremonies as soon as they
heard the dreadful news.
