tainly does resemble the breast meat
of turkey. 1t sells at about the same
price as ordinary salmon, but is far
superior to it as to flavor
1t may be served cold right from the
can with slices of lemon or combined
in various hot dishes with eggs, bread
and milk as loaf or souffle.
Tuna Sandwiches.-One cup of tuna,
finely chopped, two teaspoonfuls of
creamed butter, one teaspoonful of
lemon juice and a teaspoonful each Of
tarragon, chervil and gherkins Put
into a bowl and blend lightly, adding
a dash of salt, paprika and nutmeg.
Spread the mixture on very thin white
bread.
Tuna SaIad.-This is a salad which
will rival the tasty chicken salad
Mix together three cupfuls of tuna,
one cupful of chopped celery, one hard
cooked egg, chopped, and one green
pepper, adding half-cupful of French
dressing very slowly. Let stand sew
eral hours before serving and then add
a fourth of a cupful of chopped olives
and serve with mayonnaise dressing.
The tuna is not an oily fish, so that
the addition of the two dressings gives
the desired richness to the salad.
Tuna in Peppers.-Cut six peppers
in halves lengthwise, remove the seeds
and soak in cold water Beat four
eggs until light, add a cupful of sweet
milk, two cupfuls Of tuna, a cupful of
bread crumbs and seasonings. Pack
into the peppers and sprinkle the tops
with well-buttered crumbs. Brown in
the oven and eat hot.
The peppers should be soaked in
cold water and parboiled ten minutes
before they are stuffed.

less, as it so often is.
Just before serving hot chocolate,
beat in tablespoonful of whipped
cream to each cup. If cream is not
to be had the white of an egg will
add to it's appearance. The children
are pleased with a marshmallow
floating on top. If you remember to
put in slice from Glove of garlic
into salads there will be that inde-
scribable something which makes the
salad most appetizing and which, if
omitted, will lack something.
A pretty decoration for cheese
balls is cherries cut in quarters with.
out entirely separating the sections,
pressed into the top of the cheese
ball just like the hull of a strawberry.
A delicious pudding sauce is the
following: Beat until thick the
yolks of two large eggs, then add the
beaten white of one, and two table
spoonfuls of powdered sugar. Place
in a double boiler and cook, stirring
until thick. Pour into an earthen
bowl and beat until cold, then mix
with this a cupful of whipped cream.
If used with buildings a teaspoonful
of vanilla is added. This sauce is
good with fruit salads.
Banana Parfait.-Peel and scrape
two or three bananas and press the
pulp through a ricer. There should
be a cupful of the pulp. Scald the
pulp with two-thirds of a cupful OF
sugar, the juice of half lemon, chill
then fold in one cupful of whipped
cream, third of cupful of candied
fruit, cut very fine and soaked over
night in orange juice.
Cafe Parfait.-Steep a half cupful
of coffee in cupful Of cold water
and simmer until reduced to one-hali
| the amount; strain over two eggs
well beaten, add half cupful OF
sugar ana cook in a double boiler UNI
til thick and smooth. Beat a pint
of cream until stiff, add the coffee
mixture when cool, and pour into a
mold Pack in ice and salt for three
hours. Use equal parts of ice ant
salt.

The pointed evening cap is made
of white satin that is brocaded with
silver figures and edged with silver
braid. A frame of fine wire is needed
as a foundation for this. These
frames are to be had made of silver
or gold-colored wire, and it is not nee
essary to cover or conceal the wires
when the cap is made.
The short, full cape, trimmed with
marabou, is made of soft satin. All

Pastlmes of the Sikh.

Two Sikhs, finding themselves tired
Of sitting still, wandered forth the
other evening, and returned a short
time later to their commanding officer.

inside of which were a number Of
empty shells of snake eggs-probably
the king snake or blacksnake-and as
he reached to pick one of them up for
closer examination he caught sight Of
a pygmy RATHER coiled partly under
some pieces of the rotting core Of the
log and jerked his hand away just
in time, for the little snake struck
viciously, narrowly missing it.
We broke open all the hollow logs
which we found, and in doing so found
several very fine specimens of the
king snake (Ophibolus getulus). Usu-
ally when we found one we would find
another one very close by. These
snakes, while Of rather quarrelsome
disposition among themselves or with
other snakes, are remarkably gentle
with man. Not one of the several we
caught made any attempt to bite, nor
showed any nervousness. When
handled they would usually coil tightly
around the arm, probably to prevent
falling, and then would start slowly
on an exploring expedition. These
snakes are powerful constructors, feed
ing principally upon obnoxious rodents
and other snakes; they have been
known to kill the deadly diamondback
rattlesnake (Crotolus adamanteus)
although they have no preference and
will as readily kill and devour the non.
venomous species. From Snake

result being the
loud, shrill music for which the cicade
is famous.
Apart from the cicadas, the only
other notably sonorific insects are
found in the group which naturalists
term the "leaping orthoptera'-i. e.
the grasshoppers, crickets and their
allies. In these instances the analogy
OF the drum must be discarded for
that of the fiddle Let us take first
the grasshoppers. Everyone has lis
tened to their chirping, and perhaps
some inQuiring spirits have observed
that the sound is always accompanied
by kind of swaying of the insects
body, and an alternate movement of it's
hind legs. But the full inwardness of
the matter can only be appreciated by
the aid of the microscope. On a GER
tain ridge on the inner side of the
grasshopper's hind femur-the thigh
of the great leaping leg-there is a row
of extremely modified hairs. This
ridge represents the bow of the sound
producing apparatus. By the move
ment of the leg it is rubbed to and
fro against a prominent nervure or
"vein" of the closed fore-wing; and
this fiddling process gives rise to the
grasshopper's well-known song"
"StriduIation."
Naturalists call the method "stridu-
lation." In the case of the crickets it
is managed in a different way, viz. by
rubbing one wing over the other.
Each fore-wing of the male is fur
nished with vein which is infinitely
ridged or filelike on it's under side;
and this bow plays upon vein on
the upper surface Of the wing beneath
1t. AS the apparatus is in duplicate
each wing having its vein and bow
the insect is ambidextrous, so to
speak. In practice, however, it is
found that the right wing is generally,
though not always, uppermost. The
reverse is true of the long-horn, tree
frequenting grasshoppers. Their soli-
tary f1lelike bow is found on the
underside of the left fore-wing, which
is always uppermost. In these in.
sects-and in the crickets to a lesser
extent-the overlapping fore-wings
form kind of resounding chamber
which intensifies the volume Of each
note that the fiddler produces.

Sporting Notes.

Crowell was handled rather roughly
by Cleveland Saturday.
Among other things Cleveland did
to the Athletics Saturday was to pull
off corking triple play.
If the Braves are not climbing it is
little difficult to- put y proper mr$eF-
probation on the meaning of 10 victo-
ries III the last IL games.
Perhaps Dick Rudolph has rounded
into form for good. Holding the Cubs
to one clean single and one scratch in
nine innings has the earmarks of good
twirling.

Cleveland over the Athletics gave the
Indians six straight wins, the long
