Animal life on Venus.

There are many physical reasons for thinking that if any other planet besides the earth is inha biied it Is probably Venus" says Professor Pick ering. 'It is about the same size as the earth. and its density is about the same. The force of gravity upon It's surface is only slightly less than that on the earth. The temperature on Venus is probably the same as in our own tropics. and the dense atmos- phere may be of composition such as enveloped the earth when in the carboniferous period. As to the ex- istence of intelligent life. the question is still open. If 1t is ever established that the planet Venus is inhabited 1t will be less surprising than if the same were proved conclusively of any other planet. owing 10 the similarity in many respects of Venus and the earth"

GOOD FRIDAY IN GOTHAM.

NEW YORK. April 14.-New York today observed Good Friday in ac- oordance with established custom. Special services were held in many of the churches, with elaborate musi- cal programmes as one of the chief features. The New York Stock ex- change and the other leading ex- changes were closed and will not re sume business until Monday.
 One of the distinctive featues el the day that could scarcely escape the eye of even the most casual ob- server was the large consumption of hot cross buns by all classes of the metropolis. This custom of Eng fish origin has gained a most sur prising foothold in New York in re cent years. The demand upon the bakers for hot cross buns on Good Friday has increased year by year until this season, so local statlsti' clans have computed, several mll- lion were eaten by New Workers yesterday and today.

The Touch Chicken.

There are several ways of transform ing a venerable fowl into a respectable family piece de resistance. In fact. by the following method such fowls have been made as tender as spring chick ems: Let the bird. after drawing. sea soning and stuffing. simmer until over half done. Then place it in the oven with a piece of pork laid over Its breast Pour the liquor over and around the roast in the pan. Finish the cooking in very bot oven. bast- ing frequently with the drippiugs. When ready to serve skim ofr any su- perhuous fat that may be in the pan before preparing the gravy. The pork prevents the fowl from becoming dry. and if a small onion is also added it will have a more savory flavor. The simmering lessens its toughness. In fact. slow simmering Is just the thing for any tough meat but it should sim mer, not boil Boiling will teughen the tenderest of meat.
