CHICKEN IN SPANISH STYLE
Variation From Accepted Method
Which Is Familiar to the House.
wives of America.

1t will be noticed that in Spanish
cookery white onions, tomatoes and
olive oil play a prominent part. Lit
tie butter is used for frying. If good
olive oil is not Obtainable they pre-
fer vegetable fat.
This way of stewing chicken is
delicious and makes a pleasant varia-
ton from any American style.
Put one large cooking spoonful of
olive oil in frying pan; cook in it
until tender one large peeled and
sliced onion and one tomato Tor half
a cupful of canned ones), and half
banana. Pour this boiling hot over
the chicken in a stew pan. To
four-pound bird add one and a quar-
ter quarts of boiling water, one table
spoonful of salt and an eighth of a
saltspoonful of white pepper. When
the meat is done stir in the thicken-
ing, cook and stir for two minutes
and drop in one tablespoonful of
minced parsley. You may require a
little more salt and pepper; that is
left to individual taste.
Serve in deep dish with the sauce
poured around it.
Sometimes half a cupful of rice is
used (uncooked of course), then
boiled in it for the last 20 minutes.
In this case omit the thickening.

PECULIAR EYES OF FISHES
Scientific Study Has Demonstrated
Many Facts Not Hitherto Known
to tho World.

In the effort to discover WHY fishes
are so near-sighted, scientists have
been making some remarkable expert
mental studies of their eyes. One of
the many interesting facts which these
studies revealed was that fishes eyes
compared with human eyes are rela-
lively large. The length of the eve Of
fish is ordinarily about one-twentieth
of its length, while the length of the
eyeball Of man is from sixtieth to
a SEVENTEEN Of his height.
The eyes Of fishes are in constant
use except when they are asleep.
Most fishes have no eyelids, their ewes
being protected from injury by a. shiny
material or by a thick Transparent
skin. The puffer, or swellfish, which
habitually burrows in sand at the hot.
tom of the water, has eyelids which
cover the eyeballs when closed the
lower eyelid being larger than the
upper.
In the experimental work the eyes
Of normal fishes were first examined
with the retinosc0pe, then by electrical
stimulation the focus was changed
from distant to near objects.
1t was found that, contrary to state.
ments sometimes made, the eyes of
fishes when swimming were focused
for distant vision. Fishes are able to
focus their eyes on near objects-as
close as four inches-by the action of
the superior and inferior muscles; they
have no ciliary muscles. 1t was found
possible by operation on the oblioue
to make the fish near,sighted,
far-sighted, or astigmatic.

Two Ways to Use Up Cold Ham.

Cup Omelets.-Butter half dozen
custard cupfuls and fill lightly with
equal quantities of stale tsoft) bread
crumbs and cold ham chopped fine
and seasoned well. Beat three eggs
and add one cupful milk and divide
among the cups-adding more milk if
necessary. Set cups in pan of hot
water and bake in moderate oven I'M
til firm in center. Turn on platter
and serve with white sauce.
These can be made with cold roast
meat and served with a tomato sauce
and are equally as good as the others.
A Good Breakfast Dish.-Take
deep oatmeal dishes and put a small
quantity of cold chopped ham in each,
making hollow in center. Drop an
egg in each, season with salt and pep
per and small piece Of butter on
each. Bake in a moderate oven until
whites are firm.

Meat Succotash.

Here is a recipe for succotash:
Four to five pounds Of lean corned
beef, small fowl, four quarts of
hulled corn, one large turnip, six or
seven fair-sized potatoes, one quart of
white beans. Cook beans alone until
they are real mushy and strain. Cook
meat and fowl together and when
partly done add turnips. Take meat
out when cooked. Then add your DO
tatoes as you would for a stew and
when done add your strained beans
and huiied corn and keep stirring.
Season to taste.

The gondolas throng the piazetta and
the merceria seems far too narrow for

The noise and the passion which

Church Now 800 Years Old.
It is now exactly 800 years ago since
the building of St. Marks was COM
pleted; its ecclesiastical sanctity is
bestowed on it by the relics of the
great evangelist; its historical sane
tity consists in it's intimate connection
with the fortunes of the city and of
her rulers. 1t was the theater of their
triumphs and the refuge for their
cares; all that she has achieved and
suffered Venice has done under the
protecting wing Of st. Marks.
The Church of st. Mark contains
frophies from all parts Of the world; |
every stone has a history. Those two
great pillars at the entrance to the
