FAT MAN FOR THE BARBER
Wielder Of the Razor Declares II
Takes Longer to Shave the Thin
Individual.

els 1t easier to shave fat man than
a thin one?" Don't be afraid to ask
your barber this question. He will con-
slider it a perfectly legitimate query,
and nine times out of ten will answer
in favor of the fat man.
A barber who has been lathering and
shaving faces of all types for the last
20 years said recently: Il would rather
shave fat man than a thin one any
day. Of course, l haven't any choos-
ing. I have to take them all as they
come. But stout mans face is fuller,
and therefore it is easier to pass over
with the razor. A barber has to be
more careful in shaving the man with
thin face. 1t is harder proposition,
and it seems, somehow or another, that
his beard becomes stronger than the
fat mans.
People who are in a hurry often
leave the shop when they see a fat
man get In the chair in front of them.
They think that it will be a long job,
while, on the contrary, it doesn't take
as long to shave him as it would thin
man"

REGRETTED Lost Time.

French convicts may earn large in
comes. The following is case in
point: Pere la Capinette murdered a
man in jealous passion quarter of
century ago, and was sent to New
Caledonia. A commission was recent
ly sent out to inspect the convict
prison and inquire into the government
lands that are allotted to convicts who
are released for good conduct. They
found Pere la Capinette, white-haired,
benevolent, and venerable with his
seventy years, surrounded by his sons,
whom he had brought from France.
He showed the commissioners over the
coffee plantation on which he had set
tied after his release. Il am making
$4,000 year now," he explained, and
then he added, with sigh, IF only !
had committed my murder 20 years
earlier / should have been a million
aire now"

Lima Beans With Salt Pork

Soak the beans over night in cold
water and in morning pour off the wa,
ter. Boil the pork half an hour, then
pour off the water. Cover with fresh
water and add the beans and simmer
until they are soft enough to be
pierced with a needle. Now take UP
the meat and score the rind into as
many pieces as you will need. Lay
in an earthenware dish, pour on the
beans with enough liquid to keep
moist, add the tomatoes and a few
shakings of pepper and salt if needed
Bake about one hour, provided beans
are tender, otherwise longer baking
will be necessary. This Is an excel
lent dish with a fresh cabbage or let
tuce salad with French dressing.

BEST KIND OF sPONGECAKE
Delicate CONNECTION Requires Much
Care In Mixture Of Ingredients
and Baking.

Quarter of a pound of loaf sugar,
half a gill of water, four eggs, quarter
of a pound of Vienna flour, little
grated lemon rind. For coating the
tin: A little salad oil or melted butter.
one tablespoonful Of flour, one table
spoonful of pulverized sugar.
Sieve together three tablespoonfuls
of flour and sugar. Pour little salad
oil or melted butter into the tin and
let it run all over it; then pour out
any there is over.
Next put in the mixed flour and
sugar and shake 1t all over the tin,
turning out all that will not stick TO
the oil. Put the sugar and water ID
a pan on the fire and let the sugar dis
M,lve, then boil it to strip, which
should feel quite sticky when pressed
between the finger and thumb.
Break the eggs into basin and
whisk them for ten or fifteen minutes.
When the strip is ready, add 1t gradu'
ally to the eggs, beating them all the
time. Continue beating for ten min
utes after the strip is beaten.

inexpensive GINGERBREAD.

Note the absence from this recipe
of eggs, butter and milk. Make 1t
Just in this order. 1t will scarcely
take five minutes to mix. First OF
all, thoroughly wash your raisins and
currants so they will be drained and
almost dry before mixing, or they will
deaden the cake. Then into Hour
sitter put three and a half cupfuls OF
flour, one cupful white sugar, one
tablespoonful each of ginger, CHINA
mon and baking soda and one tea
spoonful cloves and sift them all into
a bowl, scattering half package OF
seeded raisins, or currants, or both,
over the flour and sitting on more.
This prevents their falling to the bot
tom and saves much stirring. Make
hole in the middle, pour in one cupful
molasses, add one-baif cupful of soft
ened dripping from suet or other
shortening, and lastly cupful OF boil
ing water. Mix fast, bake in moderate
oven in pan, which has been creased
or prepared.-Mother, Ont.

49, HOMAS H. MANSON, special
lecturer in landscape design at
the University Of Liverpool,
has been selected. on the per-
sonal recommendation of the
king and queen of the Hellenes, to pre-
pare comprehensive plans for the ex-
tension and remodeling of Athens
Mr.. Mawson gave some interesting
details of the work he is about to un-
dertake, says the Manchester Guardian.
His son, E. Prentice Mawson, he said,
was associated with him in the work
to be carried out, and had been to
Athens on several occasions in connec-
ton with it.
THE works." Mr.. Mawson said, al
ready designed for their majesties
King Constantine and the queen of
Greece are the extensions of the gar
dens round the palace of the crown
prince-where the king resides-and
also the remodeling of the royal pal
ace. Both these works are in progress.
In addition we have prepared plans for
the arrangement of the royal burial
grounds at Tatoi and also the royal
gardens at Corfu.
Necessities First Consideration.
THE latest commission which has
been given us, and the most important
one, is to prepare plans for the remod-
cling, development and Identification
of the city of Athens. This work has
been given to US on the personal rec
ommendation of the king and queen,
both of whom have taken an intense
interest in the development Of their
ancient and royal city. One of the
first and most immediate necessities
of the city is to provide site for the
very important new union railway sta
ton, which will form a worthy portal
or entrance to modern Athens. This
great scheme is necessitated largely by
the fact that within fifteen months
there will be direct communication
with Paris, and this is thought to be
the time-and indeed it is necessarily

OutwItted the Women.

While the men of a village named
Borhoff, in the Vitebsk government,
were holding meeting, the doors of
the room were suddenly flung open
and the women of the village entered
in a body, demanding that the men
should there and then abolish the
local vodka (spirit) shop, otherwise
they would not let the proceedings
continue.
Above the din was heard voice:
"They are right! Let those who are
for the women's resolution come out
side!" The women triumphantly
trooped out-alone The door was
then suddenly locked, and the meet
ing proceeded.-Paris Daily Mail.

FOR LUNCH OR BREAKFAST
Smoked Scotch Haddock "Finnan
Haddie"-One of the Best of the
Available Light Dishes.

Translated from the French: The
ated six miles from Aberdeen in
Scotland 1t is here where the had
dock are SO numerous that the bust
ness of smoking them originated. To-
day the preparation of this excellent
fish is practised on a large scale not
only at Finnan, but in all Scotland.
The haddock is opened for it's whole
length, then rubbed with salt, suspend
ed by the tail, and smoked "a hours.
This short space of time suf1ces to
give it a SAVIOR of the most appetizing
sort and a golden color. 1t is true
that the fish SO prepared keeps only
few days, so that one can send 1t
long distance only during the winter.
The Finnan paddock constitutes an
excellent luncheon dish. In order to
serve it one simply grills it some
minutes, after having soaked it In OIL
When it Is dressed on dish one
brushes over it fresh melted butter
If a grill is wanting, one can cook 1t in
the oven or boil it five minutes.
In England one serves II sometl1nes
at the end of dinner at the same time
as the cheese. 1t is served also cut
up in little dice which one makes hot
in little curry sauce and garnishes
it with little pieces of toast.

RECIPES WORTH while
DISHES THAT SHOULD HAVE
PLAcE'iN HOUSEHOLD.
Roman Meat Pudding May Be Recon-
mended as One of the Most Salts
factory Substantial Dainties-
Giblet Sauce.

Roman Meat Pudding.-Boil half
cup of broken vermicelli in sailed
water for ten minutes. Drain. Mlnce
fine any cold cooked meats such as
chicken, veal, mutton or beef and add
cup Of cold soup, gravy or soup
stock. Season nicely. add one beaten
egg, three tablespoonfuls of tomato
sauce or thick tomato pulp and the
yermicelli. Season with a tablespoon
full each of minced onion and parsley,
and more salt and pepper If necessary.
Have ready some macaron1, boiled ten
der In sailed water. 1t should be
broken in three-inch lengths and about
a pint of it prepared. Grease a plain
mold or bread tin and line with the
macaroni. Put in the prepared mince.
cover closely with lid or tie in Toured
cloth and steam half an hour. Serve
hot, with an ordinary white or cream
sauce.
Giblet Sause.-When the chicken is
placed in oven to roast, prepare the
giblets-heart, liver, gizzard, neck,
tips of wings The French, creole or
Missouri cook also uses the head and
feet, carefully cleaned and skinned
for they have a great deal Of good
ness in them and give body to the
broth and sauce on account OF the
gelatin they contain. Break the bones
of feet, head and wings and take only
the four tender fillets from the giz-
gard, and do not cut the gizzard open
at all, thus avoiding the contact OF the
meaty part and contents of the glz-
card, unless, perchance, you are one
of the very thrifty and prov1dent
housekeepers and have learned from
some old nanny or Tante Zoe to pre-
| serve the lining of chicken gizzards
for use in making your junkets. Be
careful to remove the gall sack, with
out breaking, from the liver. Cover
the giblets with cold water and COOK
them gently while the chicken roasts.
When done, chop fine and return to
the broth, in which they are cooked.
Stir this into the brown gravy made IN
! the pan after the chicken is dished up.
| If you want an extra touch to the
| gravy, chop six button mushrooms and
six parboiled oysters and add TO the
gravy few minutes before serving.
Snow Pudding-This is little
troublesome, but is very delicate
and refreshing dessert, and especially
suited for serving with rich or heavy
dinner. Soak a quarter of box OF
gelatin in a quarter of cup of cold
water until soft Then dissolve in
a pint of boiling water, with cup
of sugar, adding the juice of one large
or two small lemons. When sugar
and gelatin dissolve, strain into ba-
sin and chill as quickly as possible,
stirring frequently until it is cold
enough to begin to CONCEAL; then whip
to a. stiff froth with egg whip or
beaten and fold in the whites of three
eggs whipped to a stiff white foam.
Pour into a pyramid-shaped mold or
| into custard cups, and set in a cold
| place until next day. This quantity

lily. Turn out and pour custard
