CHICKEN SALAD.

IIICKEN salad when superfine is
made only with the white meat
OF the young chicken. When II
large quantity IL needed. as Tor re-
ception or afternoon tea, both white
and dark meat are used, and the chick
en- Is ekcd out with a portion OF well
cooked veal Mixed with the chicken
the veal IS not noticed. The chicken
must be freed Of bones and skin.
In selecting celery to be used in the
salad tender white stalks should be
chosen. About one-half as huch chop
ped celery as chicken is required.
The General Method.
When cutting either the meat or the
celery chop it on board in prefer
ence to running it through meat
chopper.
Moisten the celery and chicken very
slightly with French dressing. Ar
range on overlapping lettuce leaves so
that two or more may be served with
one portion Of the salad. Cover the
top with mayonnaise. halved or quar-
tered olives and slices Of hard boiled
eggs. Capers may be used instead Of
olives.
In serving chicken salad it is con-
venient to lay couple Of lettuce
leaves on each of the individual plates
Then 1t will only be necessary to place
on these a large spoonful Of the salad.
a small spoonful Of mayonnaise. a
slice Of hard boiled egg and two or
three olives or capers.
A Cream Dressing.
Chicken Salad With Cream.-After
you have cut the white meat Of the
chicken into dice let it stand in a cold
place until needed. Select the white,
tender parts Of celery and cut into half
inch lengths. Throw them into cold
water and let them stand to crisp. TO
q pint Of chicken take two-thirds of a
pint of celery. Three-quarters of pint
Of mayonnaise mixed with three quar-
tiers of pint Of whipped cream are
used on the salad.
When ready dry the celery, mix 1t
with the chicken. sprinkle with salt
and white pepper, lay on bed Of let
tuce leaves, cover with the dressing
and garnish with celery tips taken
from the small white heart Of a dwarf
bunch.

be dug out to make room for an entire
ly new work or whether they should be
preserved and enlarged so as to form
the nucleus Of the new base.
The latter scheme was adopted. A
ditch about sixteen feet was dug all
round the old foundation to the width
of about twelve feet and carefully brat
ticed. Into the area thus laid bare
they drove 3.O76 piles Of hardwood
from Galore. fresh cut so as to insure
the presence Of abundance Of resin.
The average diameter of the piles was
eight and one-half inches. The piles
were on an average thirteen feet long
and were driven home to what Is
known to builders as absolute resist
ance-that is, until they yielded one
| millimeter to each blow from weight
Of $40 pounds raised four feet six
inches.
These piles are calculated to have n
carrying power of 10000 tons. The
weight of the new tower is little over
10000 tons.
At the angles the piles are in con-
average dozen to the square yard.
The total enlargement of the founda-
ton amounted to 90 square yards.
The pile driving was t,smrIpEad on Oct.
s, 1904.
Then came the attack N the old
foundations. consisting of cul made
eight feet all round so that the new
platform could be knitted to the old.
Then on the top of this new platform
massive blocks of Istrian stone cut in
paralleopipedes were carefully cement
ed together. These stones. noted for
their fine grain. were placed in eleven
courses and made to enter into the old
foundations to the depth Of six feet six
inches. The largest blocks were nine
feet nine inches in length and four feet
seven inches in width.
The whole tower Is linked together
and must stand or fall like mOnolith.
It will never again crumble up and
drop in component parts.
The number Of bricks employed Is
about 100000.

PAY FOR HONEST SERVICE.
Retail Merchants Right to Protection
From Unfair Competition.

Retail Merchants Right to Protection
From Unfair Composition.
Speaking recently before state con-
vention Of retail merchants. a repre-
sentative Of q firm manufacturing u
widely advertised food product said:
III cooperation IL to be Of loyal
and sincere sort we must recognize the
right Of every one in the chain Of dis
tribution to an honest profit. Not even
the consumer has any right to object
to the honest profits Of the merchant
who gives him honest service. No one
who will carefully study the relation
Of profits to service can escape the con-
viction that public economy is best
served by the policy Of live and let
live
1.-THE argument Of the mail order
house. chain store and department
store that elimination Of the middle
man would be economical to the con-
sumner is absolutely false. Such insti-
tutions. taken broadly. are enemies
rather than friends Of the consumer.
just as they are Of the retailer. II
they hold as rigidly to strict truth and
fairness as the retail grocer does they
would die an early death.
Nothing has contributed to the ex-
istence Of these irregular mongrel
classes so much as favoritism, but
even this is slowly getting hold on
thinking retailers. Quantity prices have
made possible every one Of the unfair
practices of the trade. If you can buy
ten cases more cheaply than one it is
fair to sell 100 cases more cheaply
than ten and carload at a lower price
still. But such practices inevitably
make it possible for the big buyer to
own goods more cheaply than his small
competitor. If mail order houses paid
the same price for their goods that the
small merchant does they wouldn't last
a year, because the small merchant IS
the consumers friend and with
square deal will beat any catalogue
house out Of existence in his town in
the game Of competition"
