FIRELESS COOKING
How Guides in the Northwest Forests
- Prepare Their Food.
Since attenticn has been called to
the subject of the fireless cook stove
through the medium of a report by one
of the representatives of this country
in Germany great progress has been
made in the art, and there are now sev-
eral types of stoves oh the market de-
sigmred for use in the household. Some
of these are in the shape of arge
chests, which will accommodate large
roasts, while others are smaller, much
like an enlarged bucket. This scheme
was not announced as an entirely new
one, but it has been in use for hun-
dreds of years in an obscure part of
the German empire, and it was brought
to renewed life by the report- of the
consul referred to above.
Fireless cookers have been in use
since remote times among the guides,
hunters and trappers of the North-
west, and some of them have: become
so adept that they can prepare un-
usually tempting meals.
On many of the best-known portages
the guides set up the tents on the old
camping places, because there they
find the half dozen flat stones needed
to construct the oven.
On top of these they build a fire, and
when the stones are red hot the In-
dians set them up in the form of a cov-
ered box, inside of which has been
placed the saddle of venison, a pair of
partridges, or perhaps a bear's ham.
Instead of the heavy felt of the Ger-
man contrivance, they cover it all over
with thick moss, the green side in,
over which is. piled soil, if it may be
had conveniently, .
The next morning the roast is cer-
tain of being cooked to a delicious
.turn. It has either been spitted on a
clean wand of Bireh, which imparts no
ill flavor to the meat, or élse a grille
of sticks has been laid across the oven,
upon which its contents have rested.
Sometimes the easier plan is adopted
of allowing a sharp pointed stick to
project through from the outside
one corner, the outer end being firmly
stuck into the ground. In any case
the object is to keep the joint from
touching the sides of the oven, which
are seldom very clean.
Beyond the preparation of the oven
and tne bhuiiaing of the fire required
to heat the stones, this method of
cooking requires only little attention,
The meat being properly placed in:the
improvised oven, it is allowed to re-
main there until its presence is desired
at .the table. There is no possibility
of the meat having been overdone.
Many hours are required to cook the
meat, but after that it is a matter
of small moment if it is =f{t to the ac-
tion of the heat a few additional hours.
The chances are that when the meat is
taken from the oven it will be found
done to a turn, and it will be voted
by those who have partaken to be the
finest, juciest piece of meat ever en-
countered.
‘While it is a fact that the eat
cocked in this manner is particularly
well flavored, its toothsome qualities
are in a great measure due to the sea-
soning secrets of the cooks. Men who
go into this country on hunting expedi-
tions rarely ask their cook-guides about
their methods of cooking further than
what is to be seen, for they would
get little satisfaction. There are cer-
tain secrets relative to the use of herbs
and some other tricks which are hand-
ed down from one generation to amn-
other, and which will never get out-
side of the family. Sometimes a guide
will get more of a reputation for his
cooking than for his knowledge of
the. cointry, and his services will be
in special demand by those excursion-
ists who are wont to give some atten-
tion to the creature comforts on these
hunting expeditions. These hunters
guard their culinary secrets jealously
and hand them down only to their suc-
cessors along the line.—Seattle Post-
Intelligencer.

Mistake in the Baby Trade.
At Quimper, Brittany, last week
the wife of a man named Le Saux gave
birth to a boy. The father took the
child and sold it for £8 to the wife
of the local. butcher, Mme. Bonan.
The woman presented it to her hus-
band as her own newly born infant
and Bonrnan hastened to register the
child's birth.
Le Saux, fearing that he mig ht get
into trouble with the police, next
sulted the butcher, whom he supposed
to be a party to the fraud. The duped
hushand threw Le Saux cut of the
house. The latter then registered the
birth of his own child. -In the eye of
the law, therefore, the infant has
claims on two separate families and
cnjoys the unique distinction of being
the son of two mothers.—Paris Daily
News.

RAPID POSTAL SERVICE.
European Methods Said to Be Better
Than Ours.
“In New York it takes two hours to
send a special delivery letter from Har-
lem to 23d street. In Berlin, through
the Rohrpost a letter can be sent a
similar distance in two minutes,” says
Harold Bolce, in Appleton’s Magazine.
“It would be advantageous to all
people if the statesmen of the world,
foregoing for a season their provincial
boasting, would convene in internation-
al session and exchange ideas regard-
ing the world’s progress. I was im-
pressed with this fact when I had
occasion in Budapest to send a regis-
tered letter. Instead of having to wait
for a clerk to copy the superscription
and hand me a receipt, I had simply
to show the letter properly stamped
and then drop it in a mechanical con-
trivance, which immediately issues a
receipt card automatically dated and
numbered. It makes the system of
registering a letter in Hungary as sim-
ple as dropping a piece of mail in a
letter box is in America. I desired to
test this innovation, and so I mailed
a letter in Buddapest addressed to my-
self in a hotel in Munich. Two hours
later T took the train to the Bavarian
capital, and the day after I arrived in
the hotel I received word that there was
a registered letter for me at the post-
office. The German system of postal
money orders is far superior, it seems
to me, to the American. You hand the
money into a German postoffice, give
the address of the person to whom it
is to be sent, and walk away with the
receipt. That ends your responsibil-
ity. The government carries the mon-
ey to the house, and even to the room
of the addressee.”
Tin Cans Came in Tons.
The Trenton Clean City club, backed
by club women, hit on a plan to get
rid of rubbish in alleys and streets
and to attract attention to the “clean
city” movement. It offered Trenton
boys cents a hundred for all oid
tin cans delivered to the committee
yesterday.
The cans were rcceived at a place
in the business section, and for hours
the streets were jammed with boys,
cans, and spectators. One hundred and
thirty boys brought in more than
(100 cans and received nearly $200 in
payment. :
Clubs in other towns have shown a
disposition to 4ry the plan, which was
an unqualified success.— Trenton

WORKING WOMEN,
WHAT THEY SHOULD KNOW
MRS. SADIE. ABBOTT
Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes Snail be kept neat
and pretty, their children well dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, dusting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such’a woman
is ‘never done” and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few years, the back begins 'to ache,
there is a displacement, inflammation
or ulceration of the abdominaliorgans;
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
