SLOW WORK ON BRIDGE.
Mr.. Heron said people had been ask
ing him when this PENIS Neck bridge
would be completed and he was unable
to tell them. They are tired, he said, of
being compelled to travel over a temper
airy structure and are anxious to have the
work done before the potato season be-
gins. He was informed by the County
Solicitor that the plans for the trolley
company's requirements had been receiv-
ed but yesterday and had the contractor
gone ahead and finished the bridge the
work, or top of it, would now have to
be torn out and the new top built. How
ever, the contractors had informed him
that all of the work would be dOne in
four weeks. Mr.. Heron made a motion,
which was passed, authorizing the
Bridgeton Construction Company to en-
ploy more men to hurry the work to
completion.
A bill of w. J. Berry's for $13S.50 as
guard at the prison road camp created
a great deal of discussion and finally the
Sheriff, who employs the guard, was sent

saying hat he had hired Mr.. Berry at
$500 per day. The bill was finally re

Stern and Silverman asked that
changes be made in the plans of the troll
ley line near the Lower Canal bridge and
said that if the change is made it will be
advisable to put a stone pavement be-
tween the rails for some distance. Mr..
keasbey said it would cost about $500
extra and finally it was decided to make
the change in the plans provided the troll
ley company is willing to pay the extra
cost. Messrs. Smith, Heron and Girls
com were appointed a committee on Low
er Canal bridge to report some repairs
needed and Messrs. Robinson and Reeves
were appointed auditors for the next
meeting.

It's too bad that there are very few

most we are able to see faults, or what
we think are faults. But 1t doesn't

SAW MIRAGE OF SELF ALOFT
Austrian Airman When Flying at
Height of 1890 Feet Thought
He Met His Double.

Vienna.-Lieutenant Panitza of the
Austrian flying corps has reported
here the curious phenomenon expert
enced in a recent flight on the Isonzo
front of meeting his double at a height
OF 1900 feet in the air. The incident
occurred about four o'clock on a mod
erately clear, sunny afternoon.
After emerging from a cloud bank
at the height of almost a mile he OBJ
served another aeroplane coming to-
ward him at great speed. He tilted
his vertical planes sharply to go be-
low the approaching machine. and 1t
did the same. He then noticed that
the machine was the counterpart of
his own and that the pilot was a re-
Election of himself. AS he apparently
met it in collision he reports a distinct
physical shock from a stratum of cold
air.
The explanation given by scientific
men here is merely that there was a
vertical stratum of cold air behind the
strata of warm, dense air in which he
was flying and hat this acted as a
mirror. The phenomenon has been re-
ported, it is said, occasionally among
aviators.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS

Add a cupful of cooked rice when
making beef loaf and the loaf will be
moist and slice firmly and will have
a new flavor.
After plucking and smuggling fowls,
dampen them slightly, sprinkle with
flour, rub gently all over and wash in
tepid water.
Mix the salt with the -four before
milk or water is added in making
%thickening for gravies, etc, and there,
by prevent lumpiness.
Before pouring hot fruit into a glass
dish or jar, place the receptacle on a
cloth wet in cold water. This prevents
the glass from breaking.
To remove oil stains and paint from
windows. wet a wooden cloth with am
monia and apply to the spots, rubbing
briskly but not too hard.
To prevent cakes. pies and Other
pastry from burning on the bottom
sprinkle the bottom of the oven with
fine, dry salt, and your cakes or pies
will bake perfectly.
To make a light and dark layer cake
first bake the dark part, then when
almost done remove from the oven
pour the light part over it, put back
in the oven and bake quickly.

Mediterranean to convey them to the
island battlefields. The units II these
fleets had been in the course of con-
structicn for several years " the ex-
press purpose of aiding in thu de-
cision against England; for the lit
til corporal, willing to divide the
world with Alexander of Russia, knew
from the beginning that his interests
and those of Britain could never be
%reconciled. The French fleets never
assembled at Boulogne, and the vic
tory of Nelson at Trafalgar, in 1905,
forever shattered Napoleon's hopes
for the invasion. The column of vic
| tory, however, was finished in 1S4l,
and it is crowned by a fine statue of
the emperor.
Boulogne was an important COM
mercial harbor before the present
war. 1t ranked fourth among the sea
ports of France, after Marseilles, lie
Havre and Bordeaux. 1t imported
jute, wool, skins, thread, coal, timber,
iron and steel for the factories Of
highly industrial northern France;
and it exported woven goods, skins,
motorcars, forage, cement and wines.
1t also assembled the fancy vegetables
and fine table fruits for the London
hotels for export. The average an
nual value of its exports was $50, 1000
900, and that of it's imports, $50, 000,-
900. 1t was the first fishing port OF
France, receiving and preparing great
quantities of herring and mackerel
A large proportion of the best grades
of Spanish mackerel sold in the
worlds markets bear the trademark
of Boulogne. The most important
manufacture of this great war port
during peace times, strange to say, is
that of steel pens, which industry was
introduced from England in 1886. II
is the chief city in France for this
manufacture, and, therefore, probably
its greatest fame should be that Of
pointing the most brilliant pens in

INSURING GOOD CRUST.
CERTAIN RULES MUST BE OBJ
SERVED IN PIE MAKING.
No Reason In the World Why Delicious
Form Of Dessert Should Ever
Have Been Said TO Be
lndieestible.

Somewhere along In the late eighties
or early nineties a loud voice was
heard d%enouncing the great American
pie. Pie-making and pie-eating were
among the chief industries of our fore
parents, and the pronouncement was
made that here was to be found the
reason for the various assortment ~
human ills from which they suffered.
They did not know they we're pie
poisoned. They ate the crisp-crusted,
fruit-filled dainties and enjoyed them;
they went on their needless ways ig.
norant of the crimes they we're com
hitting, but according to biblical
prophecy their sins we're being visited
upon their descendants and we were
enduring the curse of weakened diges-
tons because of those pie-ous ances-
tors.
And so the fear of pies was born in
us, and it is a heroic hostess who will
serve pie as the dessert of a dinner
party. If we calmly analyze a pie,
though it does not seem so deadly a
thing: a little -four, fat. water or milk.
and fruit usually, and if these ingredi-
ents are skillfully combined, we are
willing to take oath as to the whole
someness of the result.
Here are some simple rules which
will insure a good crust, and If We
follow them in making our pies we
may be able to restore the pie to its
old popularity.
The general formula for crust is one
ard one-half cupfuls of flour, one-haif
cupful of fat, one and one-half tea
spoonfuls of salt, liquid to mOisten.
This will make one two-crust pie or
two one-crust pies. The ingredients
must be kept cold. Since the only
%leavening agent in the crusts is air,
and cold air expands on heating, ii is
reasonable to suppose that the colder
the air the greater the expansion and
the flakier the crusts. DO not handle
the crusts any more than absolutely
necessary. Cut the crust a little larg-
er than the tin to allow for shrinking
in baking, and be sure to leave nc air
bubbles between the paste and the
tin.
Pastry and modified flour give the
best results, and in the case of these
less fat is needed The best crusts
are made with one part of lard to four
parts of pastry -four. When butter is
used two tablespoonfuls more fat to
the cupful of flour should be added.
Butter in a crust gives it the best fla
vor, according to some, but lard gives
the fakier crust and a good flavor.
More liquid is needed with bread
flour than with pastry -four. The larg,
er the amount of water the less fat is
needed. A very good way to keep the
undercrust crisp is to spread egg
white over it and sprinkle with corn
starch.

Anesthetic for the Teeth.

There is no local anesthetic that
will penetrate dentine, which forms
the principal part of a tooth. That
is why dentists hurt teeth so much
when drilling holes in them for fill
ings or when grinding them down for
gold crowns Anyone who will In
vent something that can be put on a
tooth to render it insensitive for ten
minutes, without injuring 1t, has a
fortune awaiting him.
Cocaine and novocaine, which are
used as local anesthetics in other
parts of the body, have no effect upon
the teeth, as they cannot penetrate
the hard tissue of which these are
composed.

JURY PAYS THIS MANS FINE
Then Came a Check for the Costs
and the Prisoner Was
Set Free.

Shelbyville, Ind.-A jury in the city
court recently found Charles Stafford
guilty of assault and battery on VIII
liam Kloene and handed in a penny
with its report to cover the fine of
one cent, hoping that Stafford would
be freed until he could arrange for
paying the costs. When the court de-
manded an immediate settlement the
IL men announced they would claim
nothing for their services, thus reduc-
ing the costs to $40. One of the
Jurors then wrote out a check for $40
and Stafford was allowed to go home.
He was arrested because of a fight
that resulted when he found Kloene
talking with Mrs. Stafford in a hotel.
The Staffords are separated. and Stat
ford blames Kloene for a part of their
troubles.
