Makes Nice Pancakes

Do all the readers of the Corner know that dry bread, bread put into cool or cold water for a few minutes the water squeezed out, and an egg well beaten, with a little salt added, makes nice pan cakes even if you don't have flour or milk on hand? No soda, no baking powder. Just soak the dry bread for a few min utes, squeeze dry, and mix with an egg and salt and you have nice, dainty pan cakes One of the best ways to dispose of ashes that I have yet found is softly to lift the cold ashes out into a paper, tie in neat package, and place in the ash bin. JULIA A. McD."
 A contributor who has often put a question, such as that which heads her letter today. and so invariably gone on to instruct the Cornerites who may not know. that she requires no further intro- auction. Our debt of gratitude to her is swelled by each new favor. I would espe- cially commend to the young housewife her suggestion as to the disposition of ashes Long years ago l adopted the same expedient for avoiding the nuisance of the shower of fine dust which must descend upon kitchen furniture and the cooks head when the grate is cleared. Let the cold ashes be gently sprayed with water before they are transferred to two thicknesses of newspaper spread upon the hearth or the top of the stove. Lift them softly as our correspondent has 1t. raising as little dust as may be. fold the paper over the mass when all are in, and transfer to the ash can. If all house. wives would do this. the annoyance to the passerby from the flying dust consequent upon the scavengers rounds would be measurably abated Tie a, string about the parcel and abate it still more.

Stir until the sugar is a thick paste Add 25 drams of water and one cup of chopped almonds Flavor with any kind of ex- tract. Rose, lemon, or vanilla is nice Pour into oiled pans one inch deep. When cold cut into squares and din in powdered sugar. It will keep long time in tin boxes This certainly is a delight that is quite expensive in this country-T mean the imported kind-but it does not cost much in England

 We have other recipes for the famous sweetmeat. but yours is so unlike them and so altogether novel that we give it place and due honor The result of the recipe must be so like the genuine Turk lsh delisht' We purchased in Dana ascus during an ever memorable visit to the oldest of cities that we incline to believe In the authenticity Of the formula We prize it none the less because the donor is an English girl

Occa- sionalIv leave cubes of crip fat pork in the dressing. We put one tablespoon each of dill and celery seed in one-half gallon of vinegar and allow it to stand week or more for a change in flavor. Other favors may be used in the same way. These salad dressings are simple. easily made. and inexpensive, and much better
 than elaborate mayonnaise or French

FISH BIT OFF MANS TOE
Roosevelt Tells of Strange Creatures
Met in South America.

Weird stories of fish monstrosities have
been told by many disciples of Isaak
Walton in this country; but it has re-
mained for Mr.. Roosevelt to tell us of
some iinny freaks whose performances
will want a lot of beating. -
During his lecture at a meeting of the
Royal Geographical Society on his South
American trip he related that he came
across one kind of fish, no larger than
trout, that bit off one of his partys
little toes, took piece out of another
mans leg and the tips off two dogs
tails-a fitting companion, apparently,
to the fish that went brd-nesting, drove
the mother bird away, and was found
wagSing its tail over the edge of the
nest while gobbling up the eggs.
Mr.. Roosevelt also mentioned another
fish-a nine-foot catfsh-whch was found
with monkey inside it. The fish, 1t ap-
pears, had jumped and caught tho mon
Key when IL had climed down a branch
10 drink. Very extraordinary, too, is a
horrible deep-sea angler fish, exhibited at
the Royal Society recently. The mouth
OF this fish is so large and its stomach
so distensive that 1t can swallow other
fish three times its own length Fortu-
nately, 1t lives several hundred fathoms
below the surface of the water. 1t hangs
over its snout a line and bait that shine
like a glow-worm and attract many in
quisitiye fish.
