All styles of PANIED, creamed or
stewed oysters should be cooked over
an pen fire or live steam, because
they should start to cook the moment
the heat strikes the pan or chatting
dish and continue at a forced rate un-
til finished.
The cooking of oysters can be great
ly improved by the use of the chafng
dish instead Of the saucepan IN con-
nection with the recipes where the
latter is mentioned. ,

JUDGE HAS NARROW ESCAPE
Dumb-5ell Exercises Arouse 9uspicion
That He Is Communicating
With Enemy.

London.-An English judge had a
narrow escape from arrest on the
ground of signaling to the enemy. He
was taking a short holiday on the
East coast, and, as is customary with
him, was indulging in a little dumb
bell exercise before retiring to rest.
The movements of his arms behind
the red blind of his bedroom attracted
the attention Of the sentries on the
cliffs. They thought lee was sig
mailing and fastened to the hotel to
capture the culprit. For some time
they refused to believe the judges
explanations, and 1t a only on being
shown the visitors book that they
withdrew.

Preparation Of ErvInr p.r

The preparation of the frying pan
for heating up or for cooking a great
number of things needs to have little
more butter or dripping used than is
put on the baking tin. If butter is
used, ever when partly for seasoning
as well as for a heating medium, it is
better to take just as little as possible
at the start to prepare the pan, and
then add the part used for seasoning
Just as the food is taken from the
stove.-Chicago Tribune.

Most women are sooner or later driven
to the conclusion that men are cruelty
selfish creatures. and there Is a certain
amount of truth in the accusation. al
though the cruelty is prenleditated only
by men who are also brutes.
The stronger creature ought always
protect the weaker-a man is stronger
than woman both physically and in the in
trenchment OF power the world has given
him. That he abuses this power very
often is due TO heedlessness and lack OF
knowledge. rather than 10 any conscious
desire TO be cruel.
Selfishness on the part OF men gener-
ally means following the line OF their

she has a headache. At ell times he feels
as II all the world should admire and
cater to her.
But he expects her 10 find her JOY In

operas Of which the city boasts. and he
actually does not know that the one

drama. Probably the melodrama would

but he simply doesn't know or care 10

has individual tastes quite outside the
realm OF the things he likes 20 do.
This masculine quality Of taking 1t for
granted that what pleases you pleases
those you love exAggerates itself into a
heedlessness OF individuality that goes
far to wreck marriage.

pull of five or six tons.
The endurance of insects and other
small animals against fatigue is equally
surprising. Some migrating birds remain
on the wing during flights OF 1000 or
even 1000 miles. Nearly all birds possess
immense wind power" Many can race
express trains without getting out of
breath. This kind of power Is not con-
fined to animals smaller and less weighty
than man. Horses cannot only outrun
human athletes but they outlast them in
wind, although they have several times
more weight to carry.
Still as a general rule. large animals
are proportionately less strong than small
ones and capable Of less continuous exer-
ton. Nature long ago found her upper
