is GERMAN NATIONAL DISH
Open Fruit Tart, Made According to
Directions, Cannot Fail to
Please.

The open fruit tart Is a German ma
tional dish not to be mentioned in the
same breath with its covered British
brother. Apples or plums are scat
tered not too lavishly on surface of
thick pastry, and specified with
brown sugar.
These tarts are often eaten with the
preparation known as 'Dick Milch,"
the forerunner of our craze for sour
milk.
Germans would. however, feel much
insulted If they heard their favorite
dainty stigmatized as Sour" instead
of thick" In their opinion 1t is
merely milk In solid form. and for
generations they have esteemed its
properties highly, regarding it almost
as a medicine.
For its preparation all that is nee
essary is to keep bowl of milk in
the cellar for three or four days,
then skim off the cream and beat 1t
quite smooth with a wooden spoon.
and afterward add the milk very slow
ly, beating all the time. 1t is usually
served with cinnamon or sugar.

of milk. 1t is not an uncommon sight
to see year-old calf running along
side its mother.
One late October day the coolie
was lazily lounglng on the grass, but
half-watching in his careless manner
our COW and calf. Suddenly realizing
that the calf was not with its mother,
he raised himself quickly, and with
apprehension looked about. What the
coolie most dreaded had happened:
the calf had fallen over the cliff which
bounded the pasture on the north. A
rocky bluff 1t was, with a sheer drop
Of one hundred feet. That the animal
was dead was certainty, for it was
not the first time such an accident
had occurred.
Trembling with fear, the coolie
hurried down to the narrow road
which led by the foot of the cliff. The
mere fact that the calf was dead mat
tered little to him, but If the little ami
NAL was not beside its mother that
night We would have no milk for din
ner, and not only that night, but for
days to come. The coolie, however,
was equal to the occasion. He took
out his knife and carefully skinned

Experience Of Man Who Climbed the
Zenereffian Rocks-Learned Val
liable Lesson.

ITO climb mountain with friend
is a pleasure; to climb alone is an ed
ucation," declares man who has had
both experiences. Mr.. Walter Larden
in "Recollections of an Old Mountain
eer," tells of one of his solitary climbs
which doubtless added to his safety in
future excursions by teaching him
what to avoid.
One day set out, in mist and falling
snow to try the Zenereffian rocks. A
temporary thinning of the air showed
me most attractive arete running d.
rect to the summit. When l came to
hard snow I began to feel very much
alone; and huge were the steps that !
cut. It took three hours cutting up to
the top.
When l got there all was white and
still and impenetrable. A quiet fine
snow fell. tried to get warm by

Mining Engineer Finds Relics Of a
Town Which He Insists Are
10000 Years Old.

Still another oldest city in the
world" has been discovered. When T..
Hewitt Myring found vases in Peru
In ruins which were said to be 1000
years old 1t was imagined that the re-
mains of early civilizations had been
pushed as far into antiquity as they
would ever go.
But A. LEAVE, a mining engineer,
has found the relics of town in an
Arizona tableland, near Phoenix which
he insists are at least 10000 years old.
The buildings are on level stretch of
country where neither silt nor wash
was possible, and yet the ruins were
covered with ten feet of prairie dust.
which the discoverer claims required
ages to accumulate.
The buildings of sandstone show
great architectural skill, and in the
walls were found a box Of cotton bolls
and sealed jar of corn, both we'll
preserved. The Arizona climate does
not permit the growth of cotton in the
present age, SO Mr.. Lafave assumes
that sufficient time must have elapsed
since the cotton which he found was
grown to have wrought complete
change in the character of the coun-
try. This period he also gauges as
something like 10000 years.
He is satisfied that the ruins are
older than those of Nineveh or Baby.
Ion. He believes that the race which
built this town was possessed Of a

SERVED IN PATTY SHELLS
Idea That May Be Something of a
Novelty for Those Who Are Fond

Put six fresh eggs In boiling water
for seven minutes and then In cold
water for five minutes. Remove the
shells and cut the eggs in slices. Wash
quarter Of pound of small mush-
rooms and cut them into slices. and
cut into small pieces four chicken liv-
ers. Chop up fine one tablespoonful
of onions. and cook them in table,
spoonful Of butter four minutes, not
letting them brown; then add the
mushrooms and livers, and season
with salt and pepper. Cook for four
minutes, stirring all the time, and
then add half a tablespoonful Of
chopped parsley. two tablespoonful
of sherry and the eggs. In the mean
time have the patty shells warming in
the oven and. when hot, fill each with
the mixture. putting the remainder Of
1t on platter with the patties, and
serve immediately.-Harper's Bazaar.

PorcunIne.EatIno Lions.

Forcupine-Eaflh9 Lions.
Lions have queer appetites. Recent

desired information and no questions
In regard to the methods that he en-
ployed are asked. If he is captured
while engaged in his work he is pun
ished for attempting to obtain the mill
itary secrets of foreign government,
and his own country let's him severely
alone.
The cipher code books by means Of
which diplomatic correspondence is
carried on are often sought after by
these secret agents. Several years ago
the code book of the American lega-
ton at Bucharest disappeared" Its
loss was reported to Secretary of
State Elihu Root by telegraph. Mr..
Root sent for the chief clerk Of the
department.
"Mr. Smith, said the secretary, ''the
code book at Bucharest has been lost.
believe it is about time for us to
have a new code for our diplomatic
correspondence"
Some months later the missing book
was offered for sale to the Japanese
ambassador at St Petersburg, who
purchased 1t for a small sum and as
an act Of comfy turned 1t over to the
American ambassador there.
A young man several years ago APP
peared at the American embassy in
Berlin and offered to sell to the am
bassador copy Of the state depart
ment's code book which he said he
had IN his possession. He left several
specimen pages to prove that his
book was genuine. A comparison with
the embassy's code. book proved that
he had the real code, but where he
had obtained 1t was a mystery. The
ambassador knew that a new code
was in course of preparation and
would shortly be distributed by the
department. The offer was politely
declined on the ground that the EN-
bassy had code book of its own and
did not need another.

"A trial package Of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD 1

in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence.
and your case will be diagnosed as caro-
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other, laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they do
not grippe. they do not weaken. but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really sewer. pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have q clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
had my way would prohibit the sale
Of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms Of indigestion.
and SO paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonia
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-.
rich the blood instead of impoverish
ut; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

raw In the work. had worn no gloves
all summer.
Before l reached the higher summit
a small cross-cornice-some freak of
the wind-met me and brought me to
a halt. And now, on sudden, there
was faint stir in the air. A tunnel
opened in the mist, and far away and
below me saw vision of valley and
stream. the stream flowing in vague
and uncertain way uphill, as in Chi
nese picture. It was strange and
sudden revelation that the rest of the
world was there; then the veil fell,
and cold, white silence shut me in
again.
Ireturned to my Gavin, and began to
occupy the caverns had cut one by
one. There were snow slopes stretch
ing down toward the valley. These
slopes. seen from the vantage ground
of projecting rock above, appeared
to be very gentle, and to end in level

concealed ice. and had not managed
to pull up on rock, I should very
probably have lost my life either by
hitting block of stone or by loss Of
blood. Ice. even when not studded
with stones as this was. has terrible
rasping power. The thin coating Of
new snow had quite deceived me.
Is l learned useful lesson, never to
trust my estimate of the steepness Of
snow slope that had seen only from
above, and never to try glissade un-
less certain of not coming on ice. It
was later that learned how thelower
part of slope is often ice, from the
water that drains down.-Youth's Com.

The Invisible Man.

Residents of one of our downtown
streets were startled one evening by
streak of white which moved rapid
ly down the sidewalk across the way.
1t was ten O'Clock, and the ghostly fig
ure with its gloomy background was
something to make ones flesh creep,
especially as 1t seemed to be suspend
ed in the air. Closer inspection under
a corner light revealed the fact that
the flying object was a negro, who
was training for some athletic event.
His white costume was of seashore
dimensions. and the rest of him was
too dark tn be seen.-New York
Times.

foreign capital reported to the state
department that an army officer of the
country to which he was accredited
had been detailed to visit the Ameri-
can countries secretly to ascertain the
strength of their forces. His mission
was thwarted, however, by the infor-
nation furnished by the ambassador.
The military authorities of every
first-class power are constantly pre-
pairing for war. Naturally they are
anxious to know what their neighbors
are accomplishing in military science.
Here develops the function of the
modern military spy. Fiction writer's
clothe the spy with veil of mystery
and supernatural cleverness which
enables him to get out of all danger
out pitfalls into which he falls. But
the real flesh and blood spy is differ
ent person. In these days Of modern
and scientific warfare the spy has be-
come technical expert who must
be thoroughly versed in every branch
of his art. He must be tactful and
above all close mouthed.
The procedure In sending out a spy
is something like this: II the German
government wishes information which
it cannot get in the regular channels OF
information, some officer is sent for.
He is summoned to the war Office to
receive his instructions. In the case
