Murder a Vocation in India
the I,ondon Chronicle.

From the London Cnronicle.
 Arsenic is commonly employed by the professional poisoner in India, who will poison a whole family to make sure of one victim. The reports of the Bombay government analyst throw some light on tho methods.
 The poison is usually given in sweet meats, and generally by strange wom- an who has been met in the street, and who mysteriously disappears. This strange woman is found in every an alyst's report for the last 20 years and in circumstances so identical that 1t would almost seem to be the same person. Will this elusive person ever be captured by the Indian police?

Kitchen Notes.

When necessary to keep mashed
potatoes for some time before serv-
ing, put the covered dish in pan
of hot water. MacarOni should be
heated in like manner before being
added to cream sauce.
In baking graham gems, have the
gem pans hot when the gems 60 in.
Drop the batter in the gem pans as
they set on top of the stove, and put
on the bottom of the oven,
Sprinkle flour over suet while
chopping; this will prevent the
pieces from adhering.
Try soft brown sugar on oatmeal
instead of granulated; dates and
raisins are also liked by some with
their porridee.
