It will be the first test Of its kind

The aeroplanes were constructed at

The airships will be made fast to a

Plan to Aid Poor With S2o,ooo,-

possesses two tons of supplies, boats
and chart of the treasure.

treasure is successful the entire
amount is to be used for the benefit

one of the lot a Maine white man will
taste, to the last. Unlike the skunk
and the woodchick, which are lean and
unsavory except for a few months in
the fall, or the muskrat, which is never
fat, and which has a strong flavor in
spite of parboiling, the hedgehog is al
ways in an edible condition, and has
meat that is as tender and white as
that Of spring chicken.
The method of cooking a hedgehog
is so simple that novice can learn
in one short lesson. When the cpl
cure is permitted to make choice he
should shun the large, old males,
which at times weigh 80 or 40 pounds.
The preparation consists in removing
the viscera, washing out the interior

of spearmint and wild celery from the

ALL M THE COOKING
MUcR CARE NEEDED IN PREPARA-
TiCN OF ASPARAGUS.
Delicious Vegetable Worth All the
Time and skill That Can Be Given
lt-Many Different Ways
of Serving.

Asparagus is one of the dishes
which cooking can make or mar. 1t
has always been esteemed great deli
cacy. 1t was the favorite vegetable
of the ancient Romans and was intro
duced by them into Britain. 1t is
much more generally used in France
and England than here.
Fashion has decreed during the past
few years that asparagus must be
served cold at up-to-date social func-
tions. but on the home table hot as
paragus cooked en- branche or cut up
in a cream sauce will never go a-beg.
ging
BY most people the simplest way Of
cooking asparagus is considered best,
says the Delineator Cut off the tough
est ends of the stalk where it is white
and woody. and bind the remainder of
the stalks together with a strip of mus
lin. Immerse the stalks in boiling
sailed water. with the tips projecting
two inches above the water. In this
way they will steam tender, while the
rest of the stalk is cooking. Boil until
tender. but rot mushy and serve with
white sauce, drawn butter, mayonnaise
bechamel or Hollandaise sauce as pre-
TERED
A French woman eating asparagus
axes a stalk at time in her fingers,
dips the head in the cream sauce, and
daintily nibbles her way down the
stalk as far as It seems tender. In
this country it is usually served on
buttered toast each slice being dipped
in the asparagus liquid.
For those who would cling to aspara-
gus cooked as mother used to cook it,
the directions are simple. Cut the ten
der portions of the stalks into half-inch
lengths. Simmer in boiling sailed wa
ter only just enough to cover, until
tender; then season asparagus, liquid
and all, with milk or cream, butter.
salt and pepper, and serve on toast or
In deep saucers. In this way the whole
delicate and distinctive favor of the
asparagus is preserved.
Canapes of asparagus make dainty
entree, and, though adopted from the
French. find increasing popularity here.
The foundation of the canape is the
same, no matter what the filling may
be- Take slices of bread about two
inches thick and stamp them out into
neat rounds with a biscuit cutter.
With a smaller cutter mark circle in
the center of each round and scoop out
the crums to the depth of an inch,
taking care to leave the sides and bot
tom quite firm. Arrange these in a
shallow dish and pour over them a
half-pint of milk to which a beaten egg
has been added. Then take up very
carefully and slip into kettle of boil
ing fat. They will brown almost i'm
mediately and must be removed when
a pale golden brown. Some cooks pre-
fer to drop them at once into the hot
fat without the milk-and-egg bath.
