Hot Tamales Worth Introduction Into
American Kitchens?How They
8hould Bo Made.
The Mexican recipe (or making hot
tamales ta to cook one or two chickens
until tender. Remove all meat
from the bone, shred It In the chopping
machine and add to It the liquor
in which the chicken has been
cooked. This is seasoned with any
desired condiments, especially red
popper, and thickened with cornmeal.
The rolls are about the size ot link
sausages and they are wrapped In the
Inner husks of green corn. Tie the
husks with strings at each end and
boll them for three hours. It is best
to taste the preparation before adding
meal to note whether it is rich
or needs more seasoning, allowing for
the meal to be added, which Will take
up the sharp flavor.
To make tamale pie, take ox\? pound
of hamburg steak or left-over meat
cut fine, add one level cupful of seeded
raisins, one dozen stoned olives,
salt, pepper and red pepper to taste.
Stew until tender and thicken with
one tablespoonful of cornmeal. Then
stir one and one-half cupfuls of -cornmeal
into boiling salted wateif^dd
one tablespoonful of shortening and
cool to the consistency of mush. Line
a buttered baking dish with about
two-thirds of this mixture, pour in
the meat, cover with the remaining
mixture and bake for one-half hour.
FOSSIL FOREST IN AMERICA
Yellowstone Park Contains One of the
Most Remarkable of Natural
Curiosities.
Remarkable fossil forests exist In
Yellowstone park, the most remarkable,
it Is believed, of the several fossil
forests which have been discovered
?there are others in Egypt, in California
and in Arizona?because in the
Yellowstone most of the trees were
entombed in their original upright position
and not found recumbent and
scattered about the ground.
In Arizona, for instance, the fossilized
trunks have evidently been carried
a long distance from where they
originally grew.
In the Yellowstone the trees now
stand where they grew, and where
they are entombed by the outpouring
of various volcanic materials.
Now as the softer rocks surrounding
them are gradually worn away they
are left standing erect on the steep
hillsides Just as they stood when they
were living: in fact, it is difficult at
a little distance to distinguish some of
these fossil trunks from the lichencovered
stumps of kindred living species.
Such an aggregation of fossil
trunks is therefore well entitled to be
called a true fossil forest.
It should not be supposed, however,
that these trees still retain their limbs
and smaller branches, for the mass of
fuiumit uinicnai lulling on I tie HI
stripped them down to bare, upright
trunks.
Words in English Language.
The English language is constantly j
growing and almost every person's
vocabulary changes from year to year. ;
The first edition of Webster's diction-1
ary, two quarto volumes, published in
1828, contained 70,000 words and this
number was increased by several
thousand in the second edition of I
Webster's dictionary in 1840. An edi- j
tion of 1890 contained 175,000 words
and the latest edition has more than
00,000. Many of these are technical,
scientific, or for other reasons restricted
to limited use, Dut neverthe- i
less they are words. Obviously an '
educated man has a larger vocabulary, '
or command of words, than an unedu-1
cated one and a professional writer or
public speaker needs more than a day
laborer. Shakespeare had a vocabu
lary of about 15,000 words, but some
that he used are now obsolete, while
a large number of now ones have been
added. Milton used about 8,000 words.
It is not likely that any public speak
er ever uses more than a few thousand
words or the average citizen or
man on the street more than a few
biindred.
Legend of Belgian Lacemakera.
Once upon a time there was a girl, t
a dark-eyed Venetian girl, who bad a
Dover?all Venetian girls had, once
upon a time. She was a lacemakcr, he
was a sailor; and one day when he,
had just returned from the Indian seas
ane snowea him the lace she had been
making. Thereupon he tossed into her 1
lap __a wonderfully delicate piece of
cornl and told her it was lace the mer-1
maids wove in their caves deep under j
the sea.
And when he had gone again she set;
herself to weave her bridal veil; after1
the pattern of the coral sho wove.
Filmy seaweed. Iluted shells, tiny seahorses
and starfish grew under her
hand until at last th?. veil was finished
and it was time for her lover to return.
This is a real stoif, so?he came hack,
and they were married, she in the veil
it had pleased her fancy to make.,
Whether the wedding was a quiet one j
or not, all Venice heard of the veil.:
Queens and princesses sought her out j
and "point do Venise" became the
rage.?Vogue.

Weeping Trees.
One of the wonders of plant life Is
the weeping tree of the Canary d.
Islands. It 1b of the laurel family, and
rains down a copious shower of water
drops from its tufted foliage. This
water is often collected at the foot n)
of the tree and forms a kind of pond, T
from which the inhabitants of the (J]
neighborhood 'can supply themselves
with a beverage that is absolutely
fresh and pure. . p{
The water comes out of the tree
itself through innumerable little porea UJ
situated at the margin of the leaves.
It issues from the plant as vapor during
the daytime, when the heat is suf- u
flciently great to preserve it in that ^
condition; but in the evening, when pi
the temperature has lowered very ..?
much, a considerable quantity of it is w
exuded in the form of liquid drops
that collect near the edges of the p]
leaves until '.hese members so bend R(
down that the tears tumble off on
the ground below in a veritable
shower.

The pearl is the only gem needing &?

and history affords ample
vldenee of the Intense fascination It j j
as exercised upon the people of every

ersonal adornment. ^ 1
Indian mythology often speaks of + j?
le pearl, attributing its discovery to
le god Vishnu, who Is aid to have
aused It to be drawn from the ocean
ir his daughter Pandala. The rec- ' ^ f
rds of the Babylonians, Egyptians, 1
'erslans and Romans also contain
lany references to the gem. The wife j
f Emperor Caligula, for an ordinary 1 t j
etrothal feast, is said to have
ecked herself with pearls to the
alue of $1,000,000; and Jultus Caesar
resented Serv'.lla. the mother of Bru- ! J <E

It Is known that the beauty of the

FFECT THAT WAS LASTING TV

umas Had Ready Explanation of the
Presence of Sleepy Ones in
Audience. X X
? X?
The elder Dumas was celebrated for
s never-failing repartee in every- .?? ?&
iy conversation. In Illustration there j X
ay be cited the following:
One evening he attended a theater
Paris with a literary colleague, wit- ^
ssing a play written by the latter. X X
he author of "Monte Crlsto" noticed VV
lat one of the audience in the parlet
had gone to sleep during the perfinance,
He nudged his friend, 1 X
>inting to the sleeper, and whispered: j ^ Jr
"Is that the effect your plays have
>on some people?"
Soon after the same couple went to ,
ie same theater on an evening when , ^ ^
play by Dumas was being produced. :
gain there was a man asleep in the
irquet. "Look," said Dumas' friend,
it the result of your dramatic
orks."
"Why, my dear fellow," wai the rey.
"that's the same man we saw Z X
sleep here the other night. He la not
wake yet."
Allowance for Your Child.
A child may be given a small regu- &&
r allowance for his own use. ? X
hrough this he may learn the Joy of
umediate indulgence of trifling
hints; or he may learn to expend his J4J4
^sources with discrimination; or he XX
lay learn tho advantages of deferring VV
Kpendltures for more favorable purbasing,
says a wr.ter in the Pittaurgh
Dispatch. Tho child's claim tQ i X
uch an allowance can be Justified to
ia mind on exactly the same ground
s his claim to food and clothing and ^4^4
ther material and immaterial wealth 1 X X
hared in the home. He gets these
lings not as a reward of merit, but
lrough his status as a dependent >
lember of a household. ! i X
