Heck" circled, but could find no trail; then back to the tree and he investigated from end to end, and the top having been broken out and large limbs having grown up, one of which was hollow, ,and there "Old Heck" found his coon. We located the ring-tail by running a switch up the hollow, and chopped in just at his caudal appendage = and there he was, wedged in that hollow. Our first idea was to pull him out by the tail. So each one pulled at that coon; but no one could budge him.
 Bilbrey pulled, Bob Griffin, Tom Jernigan pulled, and l pulled; but Sir Coon held his grip. Then we boxed out a little higher over the coon's back and old Heck and one or two other dogs got hold on him, and out he came, and such another fight never saw. Mr. BiIbrey told me that coon weighed 21 pounds. Next. And if there is no other, claim the blue ribbon.o ,

Now that the oyster season is with US
again some one may like to try a most
appetizing method of cooking them.
Perhaps the recipe may be familiar to
some of your readers At any rate it is
good enough to bear repetition:
Select fine large plump oysters and roll
in cracker meal or dust Cut an equal
number of thin slices of breakfast bacon
and wrap each oyster in one of these.
Run a clean straw or a toothpick through
the bacon and the body OF the oyster hold
ing the wrapping firmly in place
. Fry in deep piping hot fat until the
bacon is crisp. Lift from the fat and drain
dry in q hot colander. MRS I. B. c.

Recipe for "Ydk-d-Meen."

Some time ago I saw a request for a
Chinese dish called yak-a-meen.' am so
fortunate as to have the recipe. The dish.
as served by an expert Chinese cook in this
city. is presented to you as follows:
~ good sized bowl contains mixture OF
noodles and strong chicken broth in equal
proportions. The noodles must be of the
fiat, home made variety-not spaghetti or
other boughten stuff They win not do!
On top of the mixture are laid several
slices of hard boiled eggs and of cold roast
pork tenderloins. This last is distinctive
feature, and the tenderloin is prepared espe-
cially for this dish. 1t is roasted so that it
has a distinct flavor of garlic, and. as is
customary with Chinese cooks. sugar is
added as a glaze. 1t is exceedingly palata-
Bile.
Yak-a-meen comes next to chop suey
in favor with the patrons of Chinese res
taurants. and is a simple, sustaining dish.
ANON"
suspect that the American palate would
prefer that this favorite dish of the &C.
lestial should be hot rather than cold as
the recipe before us plainly indicates it is
served and eaten. All the ingredients are
savory and the combination is attractive
1 wish our obliging member had told Us
whether or not 1t is eaten with chop sticks
or with a spoon Also. how large are
the slices of cold pork tenderloin. The
chicken soup is clear before the noodles go
into the bowl Are they put in cold or
are they and the soup hot when joined
