Stewed Shoulder of Mutton.

Choose small shoulder of mutton
as lean as possible, have all the bones
removed and broken up, and roll up
the shoulder very tightly; put in a
saucepan one or two sliced carrots,
two medium-sized onions with two
cloves in one of them, IL pints of
stock made from the bones, a bunch
Of herbs and a rind of bacon; put in
the shoulder, cover down, and place
the pan over a good fire, bring it to
the boil, then draw the pan to one
side and let the contents simmer very
gently for three to four hours; when
half cooked turn the shoulder, when
cooked lift it out and keep it hot.
Skim the gravy, strain it, put it back
in the pan with the shoulder, and let
them simmer for another ten minutes,
or, if there is too much liquid, let the
simmering continue for a short time
longer. The vegetables should be care
fully saved, for if they are passed
through sieve they make an excel
lent soup with the addition OF a little
stock. so that nothing need be wasted.

70 MAKE WITH CHEsTNUTs
Variety Of Good Things That Will Be
Appreciated by Those Fond Of
the Edible.

Chestnuts are liked by almost every.
body, although they are sometimes
found indigeet:ble. If they are boiled,
they are easily digested. This is a
good way to boil them: Cut each
chestnut with cross on the stem end.
and tie them in piece Of cheesecl0th
or put them in cheesecloth bag. Boil
them until tender in sailed water.
Then serve them with butter and salt,
as they are, or prepare them more
deliberately.
Chestnut custard is delicious des-

roast or boiled chestnuts. Remove
the shells and skins from the cooked
chestnuts-a pound and half of
them. Rub them through a sieve and
mix with a cupful of butter, to a
paste. Add the yolks of six eggs beat.

full of powdered sugar and half a cup
full Of cream, whipped stiff. Then fold
in lightly the whites of the eggs. beat
en- stiff, and heat in a double boiler
until it thickens. Do not boil. Chill
thoroughly before serving.
For chestnut salad, boil 20 chest
nuts, as directed above, and drop into
cold water to harden. Then peel and
cut into pieces the size of the chest
nut quarters. Serve with French
dressing on crisp leaves of lettuce.
Chestnut souf1e calls for pint of

strong current of air greets the Wis.
itor, blowing outward in summer and
inward in winter. This is due to the
marked difference in temperature of
the air within and that without the
cave. The temperature Of the cave is
uniformly Sd degrees Fahrenheit the
year round. Naturally, when the air
outside is hotter and constantly rising
the cold air of the cave rushes out to
take its place.
Wonders of the Cavern.
Passing through the iron doorway,
the visitor finds himself in the Rotun-
da, the first great vaulted room of the
cave. The diameter of the entire cav
ern area is about ten miles, while it's
known and numbered avenues are in
excess of 225, and their added length
is estimated at over $50 miles. The
various ramifications of the cave are
so extensive that the entire area has
been divided into four different routes
for the benefit of visitors, through
which they are taken by the official
guides provided by the management Of
the hotel and cave, each route having
it's own attractive features. From the
Rotunda the Main Cave, or Grand Gal
lery, is entered. This splendid gallery,
whose arched ceiling is 80 feet high,
must be traversed to reach any other
part of the cavern. In it are found
many of the remarkable features
Among them may be mentioned the
Giants Coffin, rock shaped like an
enormous sarcophagus, 40 fee: Long.
20 feet wide and about 8 feet deep,
which has become detached from the
wall and ceiling and rests on what ap-
pear to be it's stone trestles. It's weight
is estimated at 1000 tons, and it rivals
in size the celebrated blocks Of Baal

IA IN of all known caverns of the

AF son county, Kentucky, about
eighty-tive miles by railway
southwest Of Louisville and not far
from Green river, into which the caves
yubterranean waters empty. This Sec
zion of Kentucky, where may be found
limestone beds frequently reaching
thickness of 500 feet, is noted for it's
rocky grottoes, sink holes and caverns.
The rocks in the vicinity of Mammoth

Mrbance by the dynamic forces of past
ages. It is such areas Of limestone
deposits, showing comparatively level
strata and located somewhat above a

Bulletin of the Pan-American Union.
From geological viewpoint the
Mammoth cave is of comparatively re-
cent origin, it's formation having be-
gun something less than 100000
years ago, in the Pliocene age. The
cave action began after Green river

stone stratum which underlies this
section. The rain water, with it's car

through the crevices and joints of the

Green river cut it's bed deeper into the
limestone underlay the cave waters
kept pace with the process until what
had once been mere subterranean rills
grew into that remarkable under
ground stream which is responsible
tor the immensely Of the caves devel-
opment, Echo river. This stream now
flows through the lowest levels Of the
cave, no less than 1876 feet below the
highest level, and empties into Green
river.
Entrance Is Picturesque.
The cave is reached by means of
branch railway from small station on
the Louisville e Nashville railroad
called Glasgow Junction, about ninety
miles south of Louisville. This spur
Of the railroad was built to accommo-
date the thousands of tourists who
&sit this natural wonder during all
seasons of the year. Eight and half
miles from the Junction the railway
stops close to a picturesque old hotel,
po1 lions of which were built early in
the nineteenth century.
The hotel is located on a bluff d.
rectly over the main portion of the
cave, the entrance to which is reached
by means Of pathway leading down
into wild and rocky ravine in pri-
Reval forest. At the foot Of the bluff,
in the midst Of a picturesque tangle OF
tulip, maple and butternut trees, in a
setting of grapevines, fringing ferns
and green MOSES, is this entrance
formed by natural arch having a
span of 10 feet. From frowning ledge
above leaps a cascade of water which
disappears among the rocks below
without leaving a visible stream.
TO describe in detail the vast in
terror of the cave with its succession
Of narrow passageways, broad avenues,
vaulted chambers and doraes, it's deep
abysses and high peaks. it's flowing
rivers, placid lakes and leaping cata-
racts would necessitate the writing Of

p0rtant features may be briefly
touched upon.
A winding flight of 70 stone steps
conducts the visitor around the cas-
cade into what may be termed the
antechamber of the cave. At the end
Of this is grated: i:on doorway which

feet wide, 60 high and 500 long. The
lofty ceiling is coated with black gyp

spots caused by the eflorescence OF
the sulphate OF magnesia. These spots
look exactly like stars in the artificial
light thrown on them, and by moving
the light behind the jutting rocks the
guides produce the effect of clouds
moving across what seems to be the
starry sky above. Various statuesque
effects are also produced by the light
