f FORT BLUNDER.
Bow It Wan That Uncle Mam Bnllt
It on British Soil.
Curious Indeed is an American fort
Utrhich was built on British soil. How
many can guess what fort it is and
(Where located? The name Is Fort
Montgomery, and the location Is on an
Island near the foot of Lake Champlain,
•bout half a mile northeast of Rouse's
Point, N. Y.
A short time ago, when traveling in
that part of the country, I saw this fort
and asked the name of it. "Why, that
is Fort Blunder," said my informant.
•'Did you never hear of it?" I confessed
Ignorance, and he explained matters.
It seems that after the war of 1812
the government of the United States
became convinced that the entrance to
Lake Champlain should be guarded by
a fort strong enough to engage any
British fleet which might attempt to
force an entrance to the lake, and so
Fort Montgomery was constructed at
a cost of nearly $500,000. It was an
Immense fortification for those days
and was arranged for three tiers of
guns.
Just about the time it was completed
the joint surveyors fixing the line be
tween the United States and Canada
came along and, after doing a good bit
of figuring, announced that Fort Mont
gomery was on Canadian soil. The
northern boundary of New York state
wus the forty-fifth parallel, and this
fort was several hundred yards over
the line. Work on the fort eame to an
immediate standstill, and the mutter
wus made the subject of a special
treaty.
It was decided that In view of the
fact that the United States had not in
tentionally encroached on Canadian soil
the forty-fifth parallel should be bent a
little out of its course at this point so
us to include the fort. That is why
the fort Is called "Fort Blunder." It
.was never armed and has never been
occupied by more than one or two men.

An Empcror'a Strange Fancy*
Strange fancies have taken hold of
some men regarding the manner in
which their bodies were to be disposed
of after death and the ceremonies to be
observed at their funerals.
The great Emperor Charles V. had
the curious Idea of celebrating his own
funeral. Shortly before his death he
caused a tomb to be made in the chapel
of the monastery of Estroinadura, to
which he had retired after his abdica
tion, and on its completion he was car
ried to it as though (lead. Placed in a
coffin and accompanied by a proces
sion, lie was borne along, while chants
were sung, prayers said and tears shed.
After the solemn farce was over he
was left alone in the cbapel, where he
Mcuained a short time before rising
out of the coffin.

MENU OF THE TURKS
DISHES THAT COULD BE ADOPTED
BY AMERICAN HOUSEWIVES.
Viand** That Are at Once Appetizing;,
Nutritious and Inexpensive—Popu
larity of Vegetables and Sweets.
The National Dish.
Some of the dishes found on Turkish
tables might well be adopted by the
American housewife, being appetizing
and inexpensive and easily prepared
from articles that are to be found here
in great abundance.
Turks do not care for salads, but pre
fer meat, fish, vegetables and sweet
dishes. The Bosporus furnishes a great
variety of excellent fish, among them
the red mullet, oysters and mussels,
but the Turks have no idea of the
choice of cuts and simply ask for so
many okas, caring nothing so that they
get meaty pieces with few bones.
Corned beef, roast beef, steak these \
are unknown. Mutton, beef, a little 1
veal, fowls and game are eaten. Pork •
is "the unutterable flesh."
Breakfast with the Turks of all
classes consists of a cup of coffee and
bread. A piece of cheese rolled into the
fat pancake is eaten by the laborers.
This is sometimes exchanged for cakes
that ure much like pretzels, only larger
and not so hard. In the fruit sea sou
different kiuds of fruit are added, j
Black bread made of unboiled rye flour
is sold everywhere and when fresh is
delicious. With a few grapes, a piece
of the native cheese and a cup of coffee
the richest man is satisfied.
With all fish, lobsters and mauy ,
meats a sort of salad dressing is served
made of garlic, oil, breadcrumbs and
vinegar, all bruised to a cream, with
caviare or cucumber. Mussels arc much
larger than in this country. They are
washed, steamed until they open, then
filled with rice, chopped onion and pep
per and butter, packed closely iu a ves
sel and baked an hour.
Turks make few soups, as they prefer
solid food, but sardines, anchovies and
salted olives or pistachio nuts are eaten
before meals as appetizers. Of vegeta- j
bles, which enter largely into their
diet, the favorite is the tomato, and
scarcely any dish is considered com
plete without it, though they never eat
this vegetable raw. To preserve toma- i
toes for winter use they boil them uu- j
til the skins are loose, then pass them '
through colanders, after which they
throw salt into the pulp. This causes it
to settle, and the water is poured off
while the residue is put into thin bags
and hung in the shade. The next day
it is spread on fiat surfaces to dry.
Later it is cut into squares and laid
in covered jars. This process retains
the taste and qualities of the tomato '
better than canning, and a little water ;
makes the pulp moist again.
Potatoes, a taste for which is an ac
quired one with the Turk, are first
boiled, mashed with eggs and a little j
Hour, then made into cakes and fried.
Beans and lima beans are boiled with
tomatoes and butter and sometimes on
ions. Squash is sliced and fried or
stuffed with mincemeat, onions and
boiled rice, and then baked. Large cu- |
cumbers are also stuffed with minced i
meats and baked or are eaten raw with
salt. One good stew is made of mut
ton and green peas. Another has all
sorts of vegetables, like an Irish stew.
Eggplant is cooked in many ways,
some of them palatable and good. One
recipe is called imambailde, which
moans that the imam for whom the
dish first was made fainted with de
light at its excellence. To make it, cut
slits in the sides of the eggplant and in
sert a forcemeat of onion and minced
chicken in the cavities. Tie strips of
cloth around and fry thoroughly in boil
ing fat. Another way is to substitute ;
eggplant for potato in a stew. Toma- .
toes should also be added.
Moussaka, another and better form,
calls for one large eggplant, sliced rath- |
er thick, without peeling. Have a |
quart of tomatoes freshly peeled or
canned and one pound of minced beef. |
Fry the beef until It separates, set
aside while the eggplant is being fried,
then put alternate layers of meat, egg
plant and tomatoes in a deep dish;
season and bake in a slow oven one
hour.
Another delicious dish results from
placing sliced onions, tomatoes and
ship's bread or soda biscuit In layers,
with a generous piece of butter, in a
covered dish. Bake slowly four hours.
Pilaf, the natioual dish of Turkey, is
served invariably at every dinner. Rice
always forms the foundation, and the
most popular variety is that where
nothing but butter, tomatoes and rice
is used. Take three-quarters of a
pound of Carolina or Egyptian rice,
wash until perfectly clean and while
still wet place in a pan with one-quar
ter of a pound of butter. Stir over the
fire until the rice has absorbed the but
ter and become a light golden color.
Add the rice to three pints of strained
tomato juice, boil the whole up once,
then draw aside to cook, without, stir
ring, for twenty-five minutes. When
done, melt another quarter of a pound
of butter, and when the pilaf is dished
up pour it over the top. Each kernel
should be separate. The color will be
a rich light brown.
Yalanje-dolma is a popular dish with
foreigners as well as Turks. Scald
some fresh green grape leaves. Take
a half pound of rice and fry in butter
as for pilaf. Mince some onion and
parsley very fine and add them to the
rice with salt and pepper. Stuff each
leaf with the mixture, fastening the
little bundles with cloves. Lay them
in a kettle, the opening downward,
keep them in place and just enough
water to keep them from burning. Sim
mer for three-quarters of an hour.—

TH AT CLOAK
Farmer Foxglove, in pity for the
Widow Waterman, who was too thin
ly clad for cold weather, recklessly
took down an old bombazine clonk,
originally a bright brown, but now
faded in as many streako as a zebra
hide which had hung from time im
memorial in the back entry.
"Where's the bombazine cloak, pa?"
said Seraphiua after supper as she
took the milking pail. "It's raining a
little, and the cows haven't come home
from pasture yet."
"If I had a pair of eyes, I'd use
them," said Mrs. Foxglove, coming to
the rescue and viewing the row of
empty pegs with an eager glance. "Well,
I declare! Nehemiah," turning to her
husband, "that comes of leaving you
to keep house. You must have gone
off and left the door open, and some
tramp lias got in and robbed us."
"I did just step out to the woodpile
for some more logs," said the farmer,
thankful for the avenue of escape that
was opened to him. "But I wasn't gone
long."
Meanwhile pretty Sernphina, singing
softly to herself, folded an old striped
shawl around her taper shoulders and
went out to the pasture after the
truant cows.
Old Tulip's bell was Jangling among
the silver stemmed birches on the
bleak hill. They were already on the
homeward path, but Sernphina loitered
unnecessarily on the footbridge that
spanned a brawling brook.
All was still and dusk, a certain
frosty sweetness was in the autumn
air, and the only visible person was a
woman farther down the brook who
was dipping out \vnter.
Suddenly there was another step
strong, swift and full of purpose. Sera
phina's eyes brightened. A vivid color
rose in her cheeks.
"There he comes now," she mur
mured. "There comes George!"
To her surprise and dismay, however,
the cavalier did not come up the hill,
but stayed his steps beside the other
woman below.
"He is throwing his arms around her
neck," thought the indignant Seraph 1-
na. "He is—yes, he is actually kissing
her! But 1 don't eare. Why should I
care? I'm sure it don't matter to me."
Seraphiua hurried the cows home and
finished the milking in less time than it
had ever taken her before. She was
just carrying In the foaming pail when
a tall figure approached.
"Seraphiua!"
"Pray don't trouble yourself to speak
to me," said Seraphiua, with a toss of
the head, "or If you do please call me
Miss Foxglove!' "
And Seraphiua vanished through the
kitchen door.
"What's the matter. Phiny?" said her
mother, noticing the girl's quick move
ments and heightened color.
"Nothing, ma." said Seraphiua.
It was getting toward 0 o'clock when
there came a knock at the door. Mrs.
Foxglove opened it. There stood the
Widow Waterman.
"I hope I'm not intruding," said Mrs.
Waterman, "but here's the brown bom
bazine cloak, Mr. Foxglove, and, hum
bly thanking you all the same, I'd rath
er not wear it."
"Eli?" said Mr. Foxglove in amaze
ment.
"It was very kind of you to give It to
me," went on Mrs. Waterman, to the
utter discomfiture of the poor farmer,
"but there's some tilings as human flesh
and blood can't bear, and to have pea
con I'UilaDy s son asking" II" lie could not
sco me liome when I come out of the
store, and Mr. Ferdinand I'luff saying
was I to be at the dance at Molindn Ed
wards' on Tuesday night, and might he
call for me at 8 o'clock—well. It's rather
upsetting. But the worst of it all was
when I went to get a little water at the
brook. A young fellow seized hold of
me and was going to kiss me. I believe
it's the brown cloak as done It all,"
with a meaning glance at Seraphiua
Foxglove. "So. if you would please to
take it hack, I'll try and get along with
my old shawl a spoil longer. And the
roast chicken was very good, sir, and
that apple pie couldn't lie heat."
There was a moment's direful silence,
and then Mrs. Waterman sidled out of
the room and betook herself once more
to the mysterious silence of the night.
"Well. I declare!" said Mrs. Fox
glove.
"Ma, don't scold pa," said Seraphiua,
half way between laughing and cry
ing.
The farmer feebly rubbed his hands.
"I think I'll go to bed," said he.
And he went. Sernphina, running out
for a pitcher of water the last thing
before shutting the house for the night,
nearly stumbled agaiust George Pater
son. •
"Goodness me! What are you doing?"
said Sernphina.
"1 can't go home and sleep, Sernphina,
while yon are angry with me," said the
poor fellow, who was very desperately
in love. "What have I done?"
"Nothing." she replied. "Except—ex
cept that you can't blame 111 c for being
Jealous when 1 Hee you bugging and
kissing the Widow Waterman."
"It was the cloak. Seruphina—the
brown clonk that misled me." pleaded
George. "I thought it was you."
"Oh, It's all very well to talk!" said
isernpninn.
Mrs. Foxglove thought Seraphiua had
never before been so long in bringing n
pitcher of water. To George Paterson,
however, the moments seemed winged.
But nevertheless he went home re
joicing.
What She Wan Seeking.
A lawyer who has charge of the col
lection of rents of a large tenement on
the east side was recently visited by an
old Irishwoman, who after much per
suasion had been induced to come down
town and pay her rent. The lawyer's
office was on one of the upper floors of
a large office building. After the rent
had been paid and the receipt given,
the old woman was shown out into tlio
hallway by the office boy. Tlic lawyer
found lier In the hallway a few min
utes later when he had occasion to go
out. She was wandering about opening
doors und otherwise acting in a strange
manner.
"What are you looking for?" asked
the lawyer.
