POPULAR DAINTIEs OF ITALY
Are Not Well Enough Known
In America.

Housekeepers may be interested in
trying to make these ''potted dainties."
The recipes are fresh from Italy and
all ingredients are procurable here. To
make potted tomatoes, cook peeled
and shredded onion with three fair
sized tomatoes very slowly to pulp
In half an ounce of butter
Then pass through a sieve, add a
well whisked egg and stir over the
fire until thick, when, having blended
thoroughly, add two ounces of grated
cheese, then four ounces of fine white
bread-craE5s Pour into clean, dry
Jars. Cover with a half-inch layer Of
liquefied butter.
Potted haricot beans are made by
first soaking the beans overnight.
Then skin them and cook until tender
in boiling sailed water with two
onions. Drain away all water, mash
smooth with drippings OF butter, sea-
son agreeably with salt, pepper and
nutmeg and finish as above, remem-
bering that rigorous exclusion of air
will insure freshness for at least two
or three weeks. AS a rule. pastes do
not keep very long.
Imitation anchovy paste may be
made from the same recipe, adding
two teaspoonfuls of anchovy essence
to impart the desired flavor.

Hiding Holes In Wall Paper.

Not long ago woman, who wished
to hide an unsightly nail hole in her
white striped wall paper. found that
the hole would just accommodate a
short stick of white chalk which, when
put in, seemed to do very well for
filler

A new fire damp indicator was
recently demonstrated in London.
The device is adapted TO indicate the
presence of fire. damp in coal mines
It Is based on the well-known princi-
pie Of catalytic combustion resulting
from placing platinum black in certain
explosive gases. The device is in
the shape of torch with two differ
emit thermo-electric couples connected
in series with a sensitive galvanome-
ter. Each thermo-couple is embedded
in a bead Of porous material, one Of
which beads is impregnated with plati-
mum black so that in the presence OF
fire damp it will become heated above
the other, and generate a thermo-elec-
trio current, which will defect the gal
yanometer. In order TO make the
platinum black as sensitive as posi-
Bile. each bead is heated by a resist.
ance coil to the required temperature.
AS both OF the beads are heated alike.
there is no detection OF the galyanom-
eter under normal conditions.

Queer Husband.

A husband and wife ran freak

unfortunately they quarreled and the
exhibits we're equally divided between
them. The wife decided to continue
business as an exhibitor at the old adj

After some years wandering the prod
igal returned and reconciliation took
place, as the result of which they be-
came business partners once more. A
few mornings afterward the people of
the neighborhood were sent into fits
of laughter on reading the following
notice in the papers: by the return OF
