The Humble Corned Beef

An American young woman who
was living in Germany for year or
two used to be extravagant in her
praises of a certain sort of cold meat
that was occasionally served at a late
evening supper at the pension where
she boarded. Finally she screwed up
courage to ask the landlady what sor.
of meat il was. THAT" answered the
German woman, complacently. is tin.
ned corned beef from Chicago"
This goes to show that ordinary
food tastes unusual under unordinary
conditions. 1t also goes TO show that
corned beef can be prepared in SC
many ways that it need never become
monotonous and that good corned beef
canned or fresh. is delicacy
If you cannot depend on the corned
beef sent you by your butcher, co
your own beef. To corn ten pounds
sake the following corning bath: Two
luarts of water. a pound of salt, cup
of brown sugar, and a tablespoon and

Egyptian Decorative Ideas.

Experts tell US that in the decora-
ton of furniture the Egyptian cabinet
maker never veiied construction. He
obeyed the sound principle and precept
that decoration should spring from
construction. and not construction
from decoration.
Elements of ornament apparently
were the same in private as in public
buildings. These elements were the
lotus and papyrus flowers. the palm
branch and the feathers of birds. as
we'll as a number of geometricaI pat
terms derived from primitive arts of
weaving and plating. The simple or
complex treatment of lotus and pa
ryrus flowers, buds. leaves and stems.
it is asserted. made the Egyptian sys-
tenn of mural decoration rich. varied
and glowing. as well as thoroughly in
harmony with the scale of color set
by nature in the Nile valley.

Man Shoulders Not Level.

To the majority of persons the state
ment that their shoulders are not Of
the same height will come as sur
prise. but tailors know that almost in
variably the left shoulder is higher
than the right.
If q babys shoulders are measured
1t VIII be found that they are exactly
even. That they do not remain so is
blamed upon parents. who as rule
lead their Young and growing children
by the left hand.
This IS natural manner OF leading
the child, and it shields it from bumps
of persons met in their walks. but The
muscles and bones are thus continual
~ raised and in the end drawn per-
nanently out of position, although the
change is so slight that it is not notis.e-
able unless accurate measurements are
taken.

TRACE INSTITUTION TO ADAM
Ancient and Honorable Order Of Hen
pecked Husbands Claims First
Man Was Chairman.

Easter Monday is the henpecked
husbands day in Yorkshire, and the
members of the Ancient and Honor
able Order of Henpecked Husbands
held high revel together in hillside vii
lagos, says the London Morning Post.
The club is one of those freak in
situations established in pure fun.
though the members do declare that 1T
dates from Adam, who was the first
chairman of the order.
Really it is survival OF the days
when freak clubs fiourished in the
country-the days of the Elamites of
Bradford. known locally as the Low
Moor Liars, whose test of membership
was the ability to drink a quart OF
beer without stopping to take a breath,
and to tell humping lie.
The biggest liar was elected mayor
for the three months following and
had the privilege of free beer mt all
meetings during his term Of Office.
Another quaint organization was the
Pudsey Bletherhead Tea club. body
which, judged by its name, might have
been mistaken for a tea-drinking in
stitution, hut which declared IFS OBJ
iect to be the promotion of beer-drink
ing and the playing of chess.

Those of Their Ancestors Of Many
Centuries Ago.

Greeks are. reported to be cossing
over into Asia Minor to resist the
forces of Mustapha Kemal's army and
take possession of the territory given
them by the treaty of Sevres, an expe-
dition which recalls the memorable
crossing of this people 1900 years

the story of the wanderings of Acne

Roman race.

where her immortal sons fell in her
defense. At its foot the Scamander

Excavations on the site have re-

top of the other in times past The
sixth from the bottom of these is the

sacoharIn Discovered by Accident.

Saccharin, 500 times as sweet as
sugar, and much in demand during
the war, was discovered, according to
the Basler Nachrichten, by an in
structor in Johns Hopkins university.
The story runs as follows:
In the summer of 1878 the discov-
erer, g. Fahlberg by name, was try
ing to restore certain organic bodies.
At the dinner table at the close Of q
busy day he noticed that piece Of
bread tasted uncommQnly sweet. 1t
occurred to him at once that the
sweetness came from his hands,
though he had carefully washed them
before sitting down-t0 eat. He hur-
ried back TO his laboratory and tasted
all the glasses he had used in his ex-
periments. One of them he found
exceptionally sweet. He analysed the
remaining drops and found that they
were a derivative of benzol. In 1884
he set up an experimental factory for
the manufacturing of 'saccharin In
New York.

SUMMER SUPPER WHEN
COMPANY IS EXPECTED

For 4 summer dish when company
is coming nothing is nicer than chick
en- salad and it has the merit that it
can be mixed in the morning and left

the mayonnaise added to it before
serving.
Ii is made as follows:
Chicken Salad Toss together 2la
cups diced cooked chicken. cup diced
celery. 2 tablespoonfuls olive oil. /
tablespoonful vinegar, and salt and
pepper 10 taste. Let this mixture
stand thirty minutes in the refrigera-
tor, then add enough mayonnaise
dressing to bind it well together.
Serve on lettuce
As said before the marrorading can
be done several hours before the salad
is to be used and doing this really inn
proves it. II less expensive dish is
desired. an excellent salad can be
made by mixing equal parts OF veal
with the chicken and one of the sub

case 1t will become watery.

AlREDALE DOG NOT SCOTCH
Breed Had Its Origin in Yorkshire,
England. and Is Ccmpar-
alive Newcomer.

Your airedale is not a Scotch dog.
He Is not of Scotch ancestry and no
blood of Scotch dogs flows in his
VEINS lie IL an Irish and English
dog. The name OF his breed does not
come from the County Ayr in Scot
land, but from tile River Are in
Yorkshire. England. Nor is the aire-
dale an old breed OF dog, as such
things are measured in the dog world.
II is neither an old family nor a
first family among dogs. The aire-
dale is a newcomer. Dogs of this
breed were first exhibited at Shipley.
In Yorkshire in 1876. and they were
then called. not airedale, but water
side terriers" These dogs were pro-
duced by crossing an English otter
hound with an Irish terrier, believed
TO have been a red terrier. and later
adding dash OF bull terrier blood.
The combination produced dog sec
ond TO no other dog in intelligence,
bravery. cameness in a fight. loyalty
to his master and his masters family,
and kindness TO children.
The word "airedale." as the name
of this new kind of dog, was first
used In 1883 at the national dog show
at Birmingham. England, where these
entries were described as "airedales
or waterside terriers" The name
''waterside terriers" fell into disuse.
The English Kennel club was slow
and conservative In recognizing-.this
as a new and distinct breed of dog,
but referred TO them as broken
haired terriers"
