HuskY,s OccupatIon GoIna.

A journey very much out of the or
dtnary is reported from Edmonton,
Canada, from which point five men sue
ceeded in making an 500 mile automo-
bile trip to Peace River Crossing on
or near Lesser Slave lake, a district
usually regarded as sub-arctic, and
certainly virgin country SO far as
automobile travel is concerned. A
photograph from Edmonton shows the
five men fishing in good old Hudson
bay style through the ice of Lesser
Slave lake, with the automobile in the
near distance. Couriers du bois usu.
ally engage in the latter operation to
get fish for themselves and their dogs,
but the automobile never starves-as
long as the fuel holds out. The jour
ney probably was not difficult, for the
trail undoubtedly has been broken
Still it is rather startling to think of
an automobile running up almost into
the wood buffalo and musk-ox coun-
try, but not more indicative of mod.
ern progress than the rumor that
reaches us, of regulations to be laid
down by the government relative to
the crossing of the great Mississippi
migratory bird belt by aeroplanes.-

PHEASANT CAUGHT IN NET
Tennis Players Find Bird Dead and
Enjoy a Feast Out of
Season.

New York.-Four New York men
who left here about ten days ago for
a holiday at golf got back yesterday
with a tale of a pheasant eaten out
of season.
S. L. Snowden, a bond broker; A. A.
Spriggs, a stock broker; T. M. Logan,
a manufacturer, and W. P. De Saus-
sure, Jr., of the McAlpin, ate the
pheasant. According to Mr.. De Saus-
sure, the four golfers hid themselves
at Brick Hill Falls, N. j., and played
golf so hard that on last Wednesday
they were glad to try tennis for a
time. At a critical point in the game
there was a sudden whirring sound in
the brush behind Mr.. De Saussure and
his partner, and a big bird flashed past
them and dashed itself into the tennis
net. All the players rushed to see
what it was, and found that it was a
hen pheasant. 1t had broken its neck
in the net.
Knowing the open season had not
begun, the four lei discussed seri-
ously whether it was lawful to eat the
bird. The upshot was that it made a
full breakfast for the four.

have a private room, furnished just as
you wish (providing you can pay for
the furnishings). for $3.50 to IS per
week, depending on the room.
But the British government doesn't
stop with taking this money. 1t
spends it on the dependents of those
interned. AS all the inmates of the
Islington camp are married men, many
of them with English wives and al
most all of them with wives resident
in England, this fund may be said to
serve a not-altogether inconsistent
purpose. In any event, the govern
ment applies it all to the assistance
of the enemy prisoners dependents.
But that is only part of what the
government does for these enemy
aliens. There is a lawyer appointed
by the government and paid by the
taxpayers, whose sole business is to
take care OF the prisoners legal trou-
bles. He has been busy ever since
the camp was started.
One German had been in partner
ship with an Englishman. Could that
partnership be legally dissolved? The
English solicitor promised to do his
best to prevent the dissolution.
An Austrian butcher with a shop in
S~outhend-his premises having been
wrecked in the riots following the
sinking of the Lusitania-wondered If
he might collect damages from some
body. The English solicitor promptly
instituted a suit for damages against
the municipality of Southend.
Every day this barrister transacts
business in the financial district for
those of his clients who were engaged
in the stock market before they were
interned. In one instance it was nee
essary for a German prisoner to at
tend to a certain very important finan-
cial transaction in person. The solic-
itor obtained for him permission to be
absent from the internment camp II
hours, from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m.
There are classes studying Spanish
at Islington; there are other classes
in which electrical engineering is be-
ing studied. One of the highest-sal-
aried tailor's cutters in London is
teaching a score Of his fellow prison
ers how to cut mems clothing. An
other skilled cutter has a class learn
ing how to cut women's garments.
These two cutters furnish about the
only instances of really tough luck.
Said one of them to me:
And before the war each one Of
those pupils would be paying me is
shillings ($3.75) a week. Now l get
nothing"
The cuisine at Islington may not be
quite up to the standard of the Ritz,
but If 1t isn't there is small excuse
for the failure. In charge of the cul-
mary department is the erstwhile
manager of one of the largest hotels
in the West end.

SHOOT GAME FROM AIRSHIP
Texas Men Say New Kind Of Hunt
ing Is Greatest of All
Sports.

Gallop, N. M.-Hunting wild game
from the seat of an aeroplane is the
~favorite sport of Sam Hampson and
j. N. Long, who recently purchased a
machine from a man who had served
with General Villa in Mexico.
They took the machine to a point in
the foothills of the Mimbres range of
mountains in New Mexico and made a
fight over that rough region. On the
initial fight they saw a number of
bear, deer and other wild game, and
on a second trip, when they carried
guns, they succeeded in killing some
of the animals.
The greatest difficulty which they
encountered was that of recovering
the game after it had been shot. Usu-
ally the game fell in places that af.
forded no landing for the aeroplane.

ent to the fastidious eye.
When re-serving such cold sweets as
jelly or prune mold, ETC., cut them up
into cubes and dish them in custard
cups with a little whipped cream on
the top of each, If you can afford it.
Do not send half of yesterdays cold
prune whip, with the remains of some
cream that was poured over 1t, to the
table in such a dilapidated condition.
Again, If you have half a cold tart or
fruit pie place the fruit in a glass dish
and cut the pastry into neat wedges
and arrange them on top.
Perhaps you have some stewed
prunes and a few timed or freshly
stewed apricots left from other dishes.
Do not throw them into a glass dish
in any which way, but pile the april
cots in the center and make a border
of the prunes.
When you serve ~fritters do not cast
them fiat on the dish and let remnants
of the frying grease make u%nappetiz-
ing trails around about them. Drain
them first thoroughly. pile in the cen
ter of the dish and shake powdered
sugar over them. A paper dolly in
the center of the dish adds to the at
Effectiveness of its appearance.
When you have an extra quarter or
so to spare sometime, buy some an
gelica, pistachio nuts and some pre-
served cherries. Keep them in tins
and use them sparingly and you will
find that they will go a long way in
making any number of desserts more
attractive to look upon. For example,
your husband may eye with scorn a
plain tapioca pudding, but a tapioca
cream, consisting of tapioca thorough
ly cooked in milk with sugar and va
nilla, spread in a glass bowl with
just enough cream to 1t and
half a cherry and four little leaves Of
angelica as a center ornament, will be
greeted with a friendly welcome. Yet
the latter will only cost you four or
five cents more than the former.

Her pupils were all requested to bring
all the nasturtium seeds they could
get, and when the rainy season COM

they planted their nasturtium seeds.

IS PRISON De LUKE
Internment Camp at lslington
Like Exclusive Club.
No Prisoner Would Leave the Camp
Under Any lnducement Less Than
Declaration of Peace-Have
All the Luxuries.
BY HAYDEN TALBOT.

London.-If any belligerent country
ever conducted an enemy internment
camp as this country is running the
make-shift prison into which the old
Islington workhouse has been trans
formed, the worlds historians have
deprived their readers of a tale at the
same time amazing and amusing.
Surely hat greatest Of all British hui
morists, w. S. Gilbert, would be able
to write a classic satire around Is
lington workhouse, were he only alive
to do it. Except his, no pen can do
justice to the facts.
To begin, there are upwards of 700
Germans and Austrians interned at Is
lington. The guard-altogether I'M
needed-is comprised Of one police
sergeant and four P. C.'s, who are in
America plain policemen. Not one Of
the sever hundred-odd prisoners
would leave Islington for any consid-
Grafton less than a declaration of
peace. The waiting list of alien enc
mics now interned in less-favored
camps exceeds five hundred.
lslington workhouse resembles in
every material way an exclusive club,
rather than an internment camp. To
become a prisoner" in the institution
is the dearest wish of every German
and Austrian now in Great Britain
excepting, perhaps, only those who
are still enjoying their full liberty.
The attention of Britishers was df.
rected to Ellington by the announce.
ment that a brother of Won Kissing,
who was governor general of Belgium
when Miss Edith Cavell was executed,
is among the more recently elected"
members of the internment club.
That certain privileges were per-
mitted such wealthy, highly placed
figures as Won Kissing has been an
open secret since the outbreak of the
war, but the real conditions existing
at Islington are still undreamed of by
the British public.
To begin with, you can escape doing
any work-if you are among those
fortunate 700 prisoners-by the pay,
ment of rs cents a week. You can

PLANNING THE NEW HOUSE
Interior Arrangements Should Have
as Much Care as the Outside Of
the Home.

Things one should not do in plan
ming a home have been enumerated
from week to week on the Home
Builders page of the Sunday Herald
during the past few months. But
in addition to the things that should
not be done there arc many little
things that should be done, some of
which, seemingly unimportant, are in
reality very important. Following are
a few of the DOS" combined with
"Don'ts:"
Don't treat the piazza as an archi-
tectural excrescence; make it a real
out-of-door living room. 1t should COM
mand a good view, have a western
exposure and Do 81 located as to af-
ford privacy and rest to those occupy
ing 1t. !
Don't plan for other than wide open
ings between the hall, living room and
dining room. These wide openings
give an air Of spaciousness and gra-
cious hospitality.
Don't buy a building site without
first having the architect visit the
site with you. You may in this way
avail yourself of many valuable and
helpful hints.
Don't plan your house until you
have selected your building site. To
do so is about as difficult and will
result more d%isastrously than buying
a hat without first trying it on.
Don't forget that a CHEEKY entrance
hall affords to the casual visitor agree
able anticipations that a further &C
quaintance with the house will be
equally CHEEKY.
Don't fail to locate the kitchen
range out Of reach Of cross drafts.
Much time and fuel are wasted, often
with disastrous results to the cook
ing, by not obtaining this condition.
Don't omit the, shower from the
bathroom. You will be moro than
repaid in health and comfort for the
extra outlay.
Don't fail to conceal, If possible, the
hot-water boiler in some convenient
closet in the kitchen. The boiler is
not a decorative feature, even with
much time expended in polishing it.
This time can be spent to better ad-
vantage in numerous other ways. The
water keeps hot longer if the tank is
concealed, which is an advantage eco
nomically.-Boston Herald.
