ENGLISH MEALS SHORTENED
Tendency Now Is Toward Decrease OF
Number of Dishes and Increase In
Speed of Service.

When George Ticknor was in Eng
was often amazed at the length OF
time spent over the two formal meals
of the day, breakfast and dinner. It
was nothing unusual for the former
to last for a couple of hours, while
a dinner might start at $3.50 and be
%protracted till midnight! And the
courses were as many and substantial
as the meals were lengthy. But times
have changed. With regard to din.
ners recent years have witnessed.
says a qualified observer, considera-
BILE alteration as to the number Of
dishes. Formerly a constant subject
of complaint with regard to dinner
parties was that there we're too many
courses, but if things 60 IN as they
have been going of late, guests will
soon begin to complain that they have
had no dinner at all, the fashionable
modern tendency being to give a very
light entree in place of the joint,
which now seldom figures on a MENU.
This and another entree, soup, a lit
tie fish, and a very light sweet seem
to be considered sufficient dinner for
even a large party; and those guests
who do not care for the entrees get
practically no dinner at all. In addi-
ton to this, everything is served at
such lightning speed that it is al
much as one can do to. swallow the
few m0uthfuls called dinner before
ones plate is snatched away.

SELECT GOOD LAYING STOCK
use Of Trap Nests 10 Sure Way to
Determine Which Are Layers
and Which Are Drones.

In keeping chickens much depends
on the breeding stock. There are sev'
eral advertised methods of telling
what hens will produce eggs that will
hatch out good layers, but about the
safest way is to use eggs from hens
that are known to be hardy. The only
absolutely sure way of making selec-
ton for breeding stock, according to
the experts of the Maine agricultural
station, is by means of data obtained
from the use of trap nests. Only In
vestigators and ar occasional poultry
man, however, can afford the equip.
ment and the expense involved in
operating trap nests, but every poul-
tryman can, by observing his young
stock during the fall, select the pull
let's that are beginning to lay and OBJ
tain for the next seasons breeding a
pen of birds with the function of egg
production strongly developed.
The work done by the pullets from
September to February or March is a
| pretty good indication of their USE
fulness, and their eggs are available
for breeding during the pullet year.
While the chickens from such eggs
are generally not so large at maturity
as those from older hens, they do not
appear to lack constitution or vigor
and there is no apparent reason why
| they are not desirable for breeding
purposes.
Pullets which begin laying first or
the one that start when quite young
are generally the best breeders. 1t Is
not the largest birds of any particular
breed that are the best, but usually
| the medium-sized fowls. Early laying
is an indication of a strong bird; by
using the eggs from such fowls, it will
not take long to produce a strain OF
layers that will fill the egg basket in
winter, as well as in the early spring.
A good layer usually has a long body
and is especially wide and deep in
fun.

QUEER GRAVITATloN FACTS
In Hardly Any Two Places Will BODY

on Rifle Shooting.

A man falling from a three-story
building in New Orleans will not faA
as fast as he would if he were in New
York city. In fact, in hardly any two
places will he fall with the same
speed. This is because as we go to-
ward the equator the force Of gravlta-
ton gets less, and consequently the &C.
CELEBRATION Of a falling body ecomes
less, and the force of impact Is there
fore less.
While it does not make very much
difference in the injury to a person
falling from a height, it does make a
difference in other things. Take a rifle
and fire it exactly horizontally, and II
the gun is Is feet above the ground,
ray at New York, the bullet fired from
such a rifle will strike the ground IN
exactly one second after 1t leaves the
life. II the bullet has a horizontal We
locity of a thousand feet a second 1t
will strike the earth exactly 1000 feet
away. Let us take the same rifle to q
place where the force of gravity Is not
The same as at New York. but a good
deal smaller, say two-thirds smaller.
We find that II the gun is placed as
before and absolutely horizontal. the
bullet will not fall the 16 feet In one
second, but will take over one n q
half seconds to fall, thus enabling the
bullet to be in the air during that
length of time. Therefore 1t will strike
the ground 1000 feet away. Thus 1t Is
seen that the range of a rife Is In
creased as 1t is taken toward the equa-
tor.
Of course there is no place on earth
where the force of gravity is two
thirds smaller than at New York, but
there are many places where the Oil.

PEASANT FINDS A QUEEN
Covered With Jewels, Her Body Lay
Buried Near Ancient GAIA,
In Palestine.

The chance discovery e a ancient
GAIA, in Palestine, Of a tomb contain
Ing the embalmed body of q woman
yea ring a crown and rich ornaments
Is like an Arabian Nights tale.
The discovery was made by a man
named Musa-el-Burtu while digging on
his land, and this is a translation Of
the account of it sent from Jerusalem
by Prof. Macalister to the Palestine
exploration fund:
when Musa went to his land and
was working and digging in it he
found a little door. He entered by 1t
into a cave divided into two chambers,
and entering through the second door
he found a coffin of hardwood.
And he opened it, and in the coffin
was another Of crystal. And he broke
this and inside 1t he found one of the
old Queens embalmed, and on her
head a crown adorned with precious
stones and on her neck a necklace of
pearls and three chains beside on her
breast, and above her head was q
candlestick of gold and another at her
foot"
Another account from Mr.. Knese-
vich Of GAIA says that the sarcop.
hagus was of pure white marble and
was strongly protected by a sort of
vault of huge stones built over it. The
lid of sarcophagus was artistically
carved in the exact form of the mum.
my which was in excellent
ton.
The hair was loose and the head
bound with a filet the form of which
suggested that the mummy was Ro.
man, but the shoes we're Egyptian. No
inscription was on the sarcophagns,
but a book is said to have been found
in it.-New York Sun.

A Chinese Legend.

One evening, when the beautiful
Kau 81, daughter Of a powerful Chi
nese MANDARIN, was assisting at the
great feast of lanterns, she was so
overcome by the heat that she was
obliged to take on her mask. But to
expose her face to the eyes of the
profane and vulgar was a serious Of.
Tense against the law; 80, holding the
mask as closely rs possible to her
features, she fiuttered in rapidly to.
give herself air, and the rapidly Of
the movement still concealed her. The
other ladies present. witnessing this
hardy but charming innovation, imi.
tated T. and at once some thousand
hands were huttering some thousand
masks. Thus the fan vas originated
and took the place Of the mask.

Candy for the Children.

&'S e'S
All children love to make candy and
many never outgrow the habit. Any
girl may learn how to make several
kinds and in that way help out in the
holiday preparations. Homemade
candy is much more wholesome than
much that is bought and is very much
cheaper, which is an important item
in most homes.
Nut candy.-This Is a delicious
candy which may be made with any
kind of nuts. Peanuts are especially
good. Shell and remove the brown
skins from a quart of peanuts. Roll
them with a rolling pin until we'll
broken, but not too fine. Put owe the
fire to cook, a pound of light brown
sugar and six ounces of butter. Cook
just ten minutes from the time 1t
commences to bubble, stirring con-
stantly to keep any part from scorch-
ing. Add the peanuts and pour into
a buttered pan to cool. Mark in
squares before 1t gets too hard. Every
thing must be in readiness when ma
king candy, for sometimes a half a
minute will ruin all the work. This
candy will delight young and old, for
it is not hard and brittle, but mice
and chevy" as the children say.
Maple Fudge.-For delicious maple
fudge, take n and a half cupfuls OF
light brown sugar, n cupful of ma
pie strip, half a cup of milk, and a
tablespoonful of butter. Boil slowly
until 1t makes a ball when rolled be-
tween the fingers, after dropping a lit
tie in cold water. Let stand to cool,
then beat until creamy; put into a but
tered pan quickly, mark off into
squares and when cold it is ready to
eat. Dates stuffed with nuts are q
nice variety for the little candy ma
ker to prepare. They may be stuffed
with some of the fudge or cream
candy that is too rough to make in
nice shape.
Sailed Nuts.-Put almonds after
Smelling into a sauce pan and boil
n minute. then plunge into cold
water and slip off the skins. This Is
%blanching them. To salt, put a cup
of almonds in a pan with a teaspoon
full of olive oil OF butter, stir until a
rich brown, sprinkle with salt and

Cooking in Casserole.

Cooking in Casserole.
Casserole cookery has gradually
worked itself into great popularity un.
til now in almost every home some
form Of casserole is used. Since the
study of foods and feeding has become
more common the housewife begins
to realize the value of sslow cooking
of foods, hence the popular use of the
fireless cooker and the casserole.
Anything that requires slow cooking
without browning, may be cooked in
this ~stone-covered dish. If the brown.
ing is desired, It may be done before
the food is put into the casserole.
Long, slow cooking of meats after
the outside has been scared to retain
the juices, is conducive to retaining
the best and most nutritious elements
of the food and also it makes the
flavor of meats star superior to other
methods of cooking.
Chicken in Caeserole.-Separate the
chicken as for frying, wipe perfectly
dry and brown in a little fat. When
the pieces are all nicely Drowned,
place them in the casserole with a
pint of chicken broth made by stew.
ing the wing tips and the feet. Put
on the cover and cook in a moderate
oven for an hour and a half. Melt
three tablespoonful of butter in q
pan. add a dozen potato balls, a dozen
carrot balls and a few small onions;
as soon as brown add to the casserole
with @ water If necessary, and
cook until the vegetables are tender.
Do not remove the after putting
in the vegetables. Serve from the
casserole. ;Beefsteak, mutton and any
meat may ssbe cooked in this manner
The coarse and tough cuts Of meat
are made tender and savory by this
process ,of cooking.
Bananas With Sauce In Casserole
Pare and scrape half a dozen
bananas:to remove the coarse threads,
cut in halves, both lengthwise and
crosswise and put into a casserole.
Melt a small glass of currant jelly,
pour owe them the juice of half
a lemCn and a tablespoonful of butter.
Cover and cook in a slow oven for
half an hour. .A-
Pears baked in a casserole with a
little butter and sugar are perfectly
delicious. Let them brown the last
half hour. Pears need long cooking,
often a half a day to make them rich
and tender.

importance Of Water.

With the thought in mind that water
is by far the chief element entering
into the composition of an egg, is Il
any wonder that the water supply fol
the poultry should receive the mos
careful attention, first. last and all the
time? In fact, water composes such Z
very large per cent. Of all poultry, live
stock and dairy products, that no in
telligent farmer can afford to overleol
the smallest detail in regard to it,
cleanliness. freshness and purity ever,

INCREASED Popularity Of Motoring Calls
Forth Fur Coats OF Entirely New
Type-Proves ParislenRos
Leaders OF Eashioh.

Nothing is too luxurious in furs!
This season fashion simply demands
the best.
Just another instance that proves
that Parisiennes are LEADERS OF fash
Ion. Last summer fair Frenchwomen
wore stoles Of ermine with lingerie
|frocks-regardless of heat or cold.
Now, that winter is here, heavy FUR
garments are their vain.
The increased popularity of motor
ing has called forth fur coats <of an
entirely new type. These garments
are fashioned on the lines OF smart
'mannish topcoats and. of course.
unique furs were necessary Ito make
the vogue a success-as every one al
ways wants something different.
Leopard skin, antelope and baby deer
are quite the most popular. although
pony skin and raccoon are also note
worthy.
Furlined coats for motoring, as OF
yore, are favored by conservative
women. These luxurious topcoats are
mostly of heavy b~roadcfoth, lined with
squirrel and with large shawl collar
of skunk OF Persian lamb.
Caracal acoats OF generous length
are most 'beftting for shopping and
daily events. Broadtail and Persian
lamb are ALSO included in the same
category.
Evening coats-aiso worn for for
NAL afternoon ,affairs-are simply
superb.
Full 7ength coats oof Russian sable

exquisite coat recently seen was of

mony.
NUNS are simply enormous and alb
solutsly fiat. Indeed, some are so
large and flimsy' that they are almost
burdensome. :Quite- the most extreme
styles have wide centers of Persian
silk, or velvet, with wide bands of
fur. The large stoles to match are
fashioned likewise, only so wide that
they are more; like shawls than mere
neckpieces.. These particular modes
were created by Madame Agnes-and
Parisfennes have thoroughly approved
them.
Wome1fof moderate tastes are quite
satisfied with the round and pillow

of usual D~ropurtionS.

PAYING FOR ANCIENT CRIME
Blood Tax Still Exacted From Bearn
Shepherds for Murder Of 700
Years Ago.

Seven hundred years ago some
shepherds Of the valley of Roncal, in
Navarro, were murdered by shepherds
of the valley of Bareton, i'll Bearn,
the crime taking place on the high
pasture lands of Arlas, in the Ply.
renees.' 1t would have been difficult
to bring the m%urderers individually
to justice, and the Spaniards were pre-
pairing to make war upon the valley
from which the French murderers
had come, when the French villages
proposed that peace be maintained at
the price of a yearly tax or tribute,
to endure for all time, and this propo-
sition was accepted.
The payment Of this blood tax

three cows of a particular breed and
color-has been made ever since, the
custom Ut is nothing more) having
survived even the great wars in which
both France and Spain have engaged,
and the storm of the French .revolu-
ton.
Yearly the representative men of
the two valleys meet on the frontier.
at a certain stone remote from any
town, and 60 through the ceremony of
presenting and receiving the cattle.
The order Of procedure. which is elab-
crate and impressive, is fixed by a
document bearing the date 1876
though the tax was paid a hundred
years prior to that time. The records
Of each yearly meeting and payment
are duly attested and deposited in the
archives of Roncalais.
