LITTLE CAT TURNS
OUT TO BE JAGUAR
Queer Pet Set at Liberty in
Auto Accident.

Washington.-The wildcat which
was set at liberty by an automobile
accident here recently and was
thought to be roaming the streets of
Washington was not wildcat at all,
but worse still, was jaguar cub and
was captured few minutes after the
collision by Fred Redmond when 1t
ran into his home, throwing the house.
hold into high state of excitement
and confusion.
The cub is three and half months
old and was captured in the jungles of
Nicaragua. William ]. Slattery, the
owner, returned from Nicaragua
short time ago following the eXpira-
ton of his enlistment In the navy and
brought the animal with him for q
pet. He says that 1t is very tame de-
spite the fact that four men were re-
quired to corner 1t and get 1t safely
inclosed in chicken coop.
Redmond said that he heard the
automobile crash and went out to see
If he could be of any assistance. AS
he opened the front door of his home
in popped the young jaguar. AS the
animal is about the size of an ordi-
nary cat, although slightly longer, he
thought 1t was the house cat When
he returned his wife met him at the
door, greatly excited and with the in
formation that "that was funny
kind Of cat you just let in"
The "kitty" was found hiding under
the bathtub, snarling and striking out
with its claws. Redmond finally got
hold of the chain attached to the
beasts collar by reaching into the
room with broom. He tied 1t on the
doorknob and went for help and a
chicken crate at the corner store. He
brought back three men with him and
it took the efforts of all four to get
the little kitty" inside the crate.
The next morning "Kitty" was more
docile and submitted to fondllng and
q meal of raw beef.
Slattery was taking the jaguar for
an airing at the time of the accident.
Slattery sustained sprained ankle,
cuts and bruises and when he re.
gained consciousness at the hospital,
the first thing he asked for was his
"wildcat." For time It was thought
that the full extent of his injuries had
not been determined. After few
minutes he convinced the doctors that
he was sane, however, but 1t was not
until the next day that his pet was
found.

SHRINKAGE IN HAM
CAN BE PREVENTED
Thermometer Assures Sue
cess in Cooking Meat.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Could there be any roast meat more
savory and appetizing for high days
and holidays than a choice baked
ham, crusted with Drowned sugar,
studded with cloves, and redolent of
the spicy pan gravy with which 1t has
been basted? Success in cooking such
a ham to turn is assured if you use
a. meat THERMOMETERS, the bureau Of
home. economics of the United States
Department of Agriculture tells us.
Whether a ham is to be boiled or
baked, it cooks more rapidly and
shrinks less when the rind Is left on
it. Make a tiny slit with sharp
knife or steel skewer and insert the
meat thermometer through the rind
into the center of the thickest part of
the ham, place it on a rack in large
kettle, cover with hot water, and cook
at the simmering point until the meat
thermometer registers 100 degrees
Fahrenheit. Remove from the fire and
let the ham cool in the liquor. The
temperature of the ham will reach
ITO degrees to liza degrees Fahren-
heit before it drops. Before baking a
ham, soak it overnight in water to
cover. Place it on a rack in an open
pan and bake in slow oven (26O de.
grees Fahrenheit) until the thermOm.
eter in the meat registers 100 degrees
Fahrenheit. The temperature at the
center Of the ham continues to rise
for about IS minutes after 1t Is re-
moved from the oven and 1t will reach
40 degrees to 174 degrees Fahrenheit.
Take off the rind, score the fat coat
with the brown sugar mixture, and
return to the oven. Whether boiled or
baked, the time required for the ham
to reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit will
be about 25 minutes to the pound.
In addition to greater uniformity OF
results at different times of cooking
and more exactness in results, the
thermometer helps to prevent over
cooking, so often the cause Of lost
flavor, poor appearance. and unnec'
essary shrinkage.

Second Sight When Dying

A peculiar story of second sight
comes from village on the Danube.
in q dispatch TO the Observer. A
dying peasant woman, who had lost
son named Jonas on the battlefield
In 1915, called her children to her
bedside to bid them farewell. When
she had done so she begged them to
promise not to close her eyelids after
her death, because her son Janos was
alive and on his homeward way, and
she wished her dead eyes to rest on
him, as she might not know that hap
piness during her life. When the
family returned from her funeral a
few days later 1t was to find letter
from Janos awaiting them, In which
he announced that he was alive and
well, and was on his way home from
