PREDICTS FALL IN
PRICE Of MEAT
PURVEYOR TO NEW YORK
HOTELS RETURNS FROM
WESTERN TRIP.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Mear will
be cheaper after the first of the year.
This statement. which will be re-
ceived with the warmest interest by
all perplexed housekeepers. was made
,oday by Edward b. Selma. holtz, a
prominent meat retailer. who caters
to the largest hotels in this city. Mr..
'chmalholtz returned today from a
trip through the West during which
he has been studying conditions in
he cattle districts.
He bases his opinion upon the fact
that the first shipments of cattle that
were fed on this years bumper crops
will reach New York shortly after
he beginning Of the year.
The high price of meat through
out the summer OF the present year
was occasioned. ne says by the scar
city ct corn last year. and the fact
that the farmers throughout the West
r. Trained from feeding their cattle
with corn, fearing that otherwise they
would not be able to realize a profit.
This year conditions have been entire
ly d fferent, ard the crops have been
SO abundant that the farmers have
been able to give more attention to
the fattening of cattle, with the result
that corn fed meat will be much
cheaper.

ROMANCE IF KETTLE
Tale Told of the Sugar Bush in
 New England.
Great Iron Pots of Pioneers Passed Before Flat Pans With It's Par ties Merry With Song
 and Dance.

New York.-The romance of the sugar bush makes spring in the Adj Tondacks one of the most interesting periods of the year. For time out of mind sugar weather" has been the designation of warm days and cold nights in the early spring, before the snow is gone, and the sugar snows" have been the heavy, great-faked, and almost early April windless storms
 Maple sugar is inherited from the h. dians; perhaps 1t would be better to say spells from the forest Indians of the east. The Puritans found the h. dians making maple sugar by the primitive method of dropping red-hot stones in watertight baskets full of sap gathered from gashed naples in the hardwood. The Puritans knew a good thing when they saw it, and they, too, made maple sugar, and in the sugar bush, in the melting snows of spring, were enacted many of the horrid tragedies of the New England frontier, when the Indians came raid ing out of the New HamRshire, Yer mont, and other back lands into which they had been forced by the | advance of the white men. The In dian war parties carried parched corn and maple sugar to eat.
 When the pioneers moved westward they carried with them great iron ket- ties which served so many useful purposes; which held the hot water in | which hnOS cpo1Iod in tha fall . which held the sap and syrup in the spring; which were used to boil down the soft soap in the spring and sum- mer, and which served for apple and other fruit buffers when the fruit har- vest was at hand. In these days some of the descendants of the old pioneers have these old kettles on tripods in their front yards, full of earth and green with plants during the summer months, for the day of the old sugar kettle is nearly gone, pans having l taken their places
 With the passing of the kettle, much of the romance of the sugar bush pass ed away. The sugar kettle had cer. tain charms not to be had in scientific pans in over-nice sugar houses in toe well-kept sugar bushes.
 In the old days, generosity was the habit of the pioneer He was so lone ly that he gave much for the sake of company and rare jubilation. The year was bitter and hard, but at cer tain times he had Thanksgiving, the Christmas holidays, and then sugar ing-off.
 The pioneer had his sugar-bush which he considered as one of his farms most valuable features. The hardwood ridge was carefully culled over, the beech and birch trees being cut out for firewood, the spruce, hem lock and pine for the logs, the

WAYS WITH ASPARAGUS
FLAVOR GIVES SPRING TOUCH TO
 MANY DISHES.
Few Spoonfuls of Tips Make Delicious Addition to Lettuce Salad or 9th CT Dish of Greens-Chilled
 Tips as Garnish.

Much of the asparagus that is sold Is hard and wooden up to within two or thr.> .>3 inches of the top. Often the grocer will send such a bunch when supplies are ordered over the tele- phone-a very careless method of marketing, but sometimes necessary. The bulk of such a bunch can be used in soup, and the tips, which are usual ly tender, can be utilized in various ways after reserving a few for a garnish in the soup. They should first be boiled until tender, but not until they break Twelve minutes is the time usually allotted to them.
 Asparagus tips are familiar enough in asparagus salads and omelets. A licious addition to lettuce salad or other dish of spring greens. Some cooks add tiny spoonful of chopped chiyes. Chilled boiled tips also make an attractive garnish to a salmon sal ad.
 Creamed asparagus tips or aspara- gus tips tossed in butter are some times served as an entree in little patty crusts, or as filling, with ap- propriate seasonings, in small dainty sandwich rolls for luncheon.
 An asparagus consomme makes an attractive soup at this season. To make it, add a few tips to a plain consomme
 Tossed in a little hot butter or dressed with brown butter, these tips make a nice garnish for outlets and broiled fish Curries, too, with rice, are improved by the addition of as- paragus tips. They may also be added to the gravy accompanying meat or fish, or used in an asparagus sauce. 7 delicate cream sauce, such as is used with fried chicken or fish, is i'm proved in flavor and appearance by the addition of some of the green tips, carefully boiled. A famous cook gives the following recipe for an asparagus sauce, in which a variety of season ings are used: Put two tahlespoonfuls of butter in saucepan, stir in two tablespoonfuls of flour and gradually add a pint of white stock Stir the sauce thoroughly while adding the stock to prevent Jumps from forming Then add a seasoning of salt and pep per, a slice of onion, little slice of carrot. bay leaf, tiny bit of mace and sprig of parsley Let the sauce simmer foc 20 minutes then strain il and add enough tips to give a nice color and flavor to the sauce. Some times the tips are mashed and strainer, but the bits of green are at tractlve, and the mashing and strain ing makes extra worl-

All at once 1t dawned upon this set tier that the bell he had fastened to the neck of the wolf was the same that had been borne by the father of the flock in the previous summer. The quick-eared sheep had recognized the sound of the bell and, true to their in- stincts, had hastened to join their last years companion. The result was that they found, not wolf in sheep's clothing, but a wolf with sheep's bell, ready to dine on a spring lamb. The settler did pot release any more beiled wolves.

Testing the Sugar.

bark, and the timber, but the ma- ples were left to grow, for they were a crop tree.
 It IS recalled that in the days of the Revolution, a farmer was making sugar on the hills south of Little Falls, N. Y. He was ready to sugar off when the Indians came and he fled. Two years later, when the bush was next visited, the old kettle was found on its nest of rocks almost full of a dark brown mass that was almost as hard as the granite The sugar had hardened in the kettle, but in weather ing it had become useless.

Mend China With Paint.

The best medium for mending china or porcelain or pottery of any de- scription, is white oil paint. Buy a tube of a good make, and use it like tube paste. If you have a box of oil colors, you may add enough of any tint to the white to match the broken article; but the white does not show, and is astonishingly efficacious. Cut glass that l have mended with it is now in constant use.-Good House keeping Magazine.

Chinese Women Perform as
 Heavy Labor as the Men.
They Haul Huge Loads, Harnessed Up Like Horses, Also Assist in Build ing New Roads-City Is Very
 Cosmopolitan.

Hong Kong. China-A peculiarity of the Hong Kong colony is the anomaly of the mems and women's occupations according to our English ideas. The women work just like the men; they drag huge loads harnessed like horses. carry heavy weights strung over their shoulders as yokels carry milk cans in the country.
 They stagger up the Peak for about 100 yards, when they lay down their burden, go back, pick a new lot up, carry tbfs up to the first dumping place, then take the first load on few yards further and so on, all under blazing sun. All the bricklaying. road mending, coaling, etc, is done equally by both sexes. but perhaps the most curious sight, writes a Hongkong correspondent. is to see woman straining at an oar or at the steerage of a sampan.
 If the boat be very heavy one two of the women will work an oar to- gether, one pulling one way and the other pushing, while a little baby is perched on the back of each in d sort of cradle or papoose arrangement. W,
 On the other hand up on the Peak. which is the European settlement. one often sees a Chinese boy walking along sedately pushing perambula- tor, while the English nursemaid walks empty handed by his side and superintends operations. Of course all the house work is done by boys"
 The next point is the very cosmopol- itan nature of the place This was most forcibly borne in upon me the other day when I was walking with an American on one side and an Austral ian on the other Just in front of us were couple of Germans, a Parsee stood at the door of his shop, a Japa- nese girl followed by two Portuguese boys passed us, and a moment later a rickshaw went by in which sat a Span ish maiden
 There were of course Chinese scat tered all over the place as usual, so that here within a hundred yards of one another at least nine nationalities were represented. It would be hard to name a country which could not pro- duce it's type here.

Little Joseph was allowed to go home. John will be pa roled
 The rabbi alleged that the two boys threw bricks at him and struck him in the head with one of them. and called him names.

Asparacus Toast.

Wash and cut the asparagus in half inch lengths. Bring two quarts of spoon of salt and one quart of aspara- gus and boil thirty minutes or until tender. Toast several slices of bread and melt one-half cup of fresh butter When the asparagus is tender remove from the liquor and drain. Dip the toasted bread in the asparagus soup, then in the melted butter, lay in a dish and spread the asparagus over it. Add balance of butter and serve hot. Delicious.
