Sea Monsters.

That "thresher shark" Of fabulous
dimensions just caught on the south
coast of England is fast becoming a
formidable rival of the sea serpent
and the big gooseberry. He is fairly
common during summer around Corn
wall, where he does great damage TO
pilchard and mackerel nets, in which
he completely finds himself, like a
caterpillar in his chrysalis. The
thresher shark is also called the sea
fox, from the remarkable tail, which
he uses to frighten shoals Of fish, and
so make them more easily caught.
There are sailors yarns that this
whiplike tail is sometimes used for
logging whales to death BIT the
real prosecutor of the whale is the
gladiator dolphin or sword grampus
(Delphinus gladiator), very carniV-
orous fellow, who kills and eats
whales, seals and even his brother
porpoises.

FASHIONS RosEsUDs or IRON
New Jersey Blaeksmlth Probably the
Most sklIlful MEAL Worker In
the World.

Louis Van Boeckel, the blacksmith
OF a small Belgian hamlet, has won
more than local fame by his skill in
fashioning flowers from metal by
,acans Of the tools of his trade. He
has an American rival, however, in the
person of James Gran, a blacksmith
whose smlthy is in Plainfield, N. j.
ut is interesting to watch this
smith make a rose" says a writer in
the New York Sun. HE first fashions
the core, and then FORCES the smaller
petals, hammering the ends out fat.
Next, he takes a contrivance shaped
like screw-driver and opens the out
err petals first. After hollow
ing out the petals, he grasps the iron
rosebud in a pair of tongs, thrusts It
into the fire, and heats the stems Of
the petals. He takes II out of the fire,
and hammers the stems into a solid
mass.
"He forms the larger petals in the
same manner, and having thus made
the complete rose, he grasps 1t with
larger tongs, heats and hammers it
again, and finally puts the red-hot,
glowing mass in a wise.
"All the different parts of the flower
he forges separately. He makes the
veins, or radical ribs of the leaves,
with the peen of the hammer. The
same tool, when it is slightly tilted,
and its blows directed to the outside
of the leaf, makes the serrated edges
Of the leaves. He first holds the piece
from which the leaf is made in the
tongs and heats and flattens it on the
anvil. He forms the center rib in the
leaf by letting that part lap over the
edge of the anvil while he fiattens the
rest of the leaf.
''Mr. Gran works entirely from mem.
Dry, and uses no model. His skill in
metal working is said to be greater
than that of Van Boeckel himself"

ALMOST EQUAL TO CHICKEN
Salad Made From Leftover Portlons
Of Veal Joint VIII Be Found
Nest Acceptable.

After all available slices have
been cut from the cold roast veal, and
just before the remaining bone goes
into the stew or soup pot. there will
be usually few choice bits Of white
meat to be cut from portions here
and there which will make a perfect
substitute for chicken salad. On days
when poultry Is cooked little of the
fat can be skinned from the richest
stock or saved from the roast or
fricassee. This. favored with a little
of the Juice OF chicken meat and
thoroughly cooked. can be put away
in a sealed jar or Jelly glass for
flavoring purposes. Chop the veai
into small bits, mix with the favored
chicken fat in quantity sufficient to
flavor the veal, and add to this an
equal amount OF chopped celery. pre-
pared carefully by removing the
stringy portion and leaving only the
tender, juicy interior. Where the
meat portion is deficient a little crisp
lettuce broken into bits is sometimes
an addition, saving some of the per
feet leaves in which to place the
filling Make a mayonnaise dressing
by using the yolks of one or two
eggs, according to quantity desired.
and beating in, drop by drop, suffi-
cient olive oil to thicken to the con-
sistency OF heavy cream. Any hard
boiled eggs left can be utilized to
improve the salad. the white cat into
strips for the filing and the yolks
rubbed to a paste and added to the
mayonnaise. Season dressing with
salt, lemon Juice, cayenne. a few
drops onion Juice, celery salt and
some OF the chicken fiavoring.
Mix some of the mayonnaise with
the meat filing. pour into the care
fully arranged lettuce leaves that
line the salad dish; put some extra
mayonnaise on top or reserve to
serve with each portion, chill and
garnish with the white tips Of celery.
This makes a delicious, dainty and in
expensive salad, a perfect substitute
for chicken filing, and can be pre-
pared entirely from leftovers If the
precaution is taken to save the
small amount of chicken fat and
fiavoring required

HUM0RS OF THE CHINESE WAR
Foreigners Got Much Amusement Out
Of Doines of the Very Serious
Native Soldiers.

Humor, of a grim sort, of course,
abounded in the revolution which es-
tablished republic in China. Fred
erick Mccormick, in 1.-The Flowery
Republic" tells Of the formation of
corps in the north who gloried in the
title. "Dare to Die" The rebels in
Canton were not satisfied to adopt
this term from their brothers, and
delighting in the superlative and ex-
IRENE, called themselves the Deter
mined to Die" The first were merely
willing martyrs, but the Cantonese
were desperate for death. A foreign
wag dubbed them the Much Wanchee
Dies"
Among the various military organ
izations that sprung up in Canton"
says Mr.. Mccormick, was company
of bomb throwers called the Bomb
Pioneers Their uniform was light
blue foreign knitted underwear that
fitted them as their own skins. They
wore brown knitted socks supported
by American garters. Over the I'M
derwear they wore shoulder braces
from which were stretched across the
breast white bands bearing the name
of their organization. Their leaders
wore blouses and caps and carried
swords. In parades they sometimes
carried arms full of bombs and were
in danger of blowing whole streets
to atoms. In public meetings on two
occasions there were accidents in
which numbers of people were killed
and wounded"
