TO TELL WHEN MEAT IS DONE
Scientific Devlcs Worthy a Place In
Every Kitchen.
Cooks are accustomed to cut Into a
piece of meat when cooking, to prod
vegetables with a fork, and to use
similar primitive methods of ascer
taining the stage to which the roast
Ing or boiling process has advanced.
The first really scientific device to
measure the temperature inside
piece of cooking food has recently
vi-ou niTcuieu in vupenuaaen. uca
mark. It Is called a "the mo needle,'
and consists of a thin metal tube,
pointed at one end aud containing a
spring beld in tension by an alloy
melting at a specified temperature,
which is that desired for cooking. The
melting of this alloy releases tbe
spring and shoots up a pin as a signal
that the desired temperature exists
in the interior of the food into which
the "needle" has been thrust As the
instrument is withdrawn, the pin Is
pushed down and beld while the fusl
ble alloy "sets." when the devise is
ready for use again.

She was sitting listening to the boy

PROVED
ON THE SPOT,
A Sculptor's Demonstration In the
Mud and Slush by a Lantsrn's Light.
The following characteristic auec
dote Is told concerning hi. C. Potter,
the sculptor:
"I saw him one evening paying a
call upon comparative stranger. A
plaster cast of a horse stood at one
side of the room, a little piece full
of poetic Imagination, but done loose
ly and sketchlly. Mr. Potter sat
down, bin his g..ze kept returning to
that horse.
'"He harc.y.heard what was being
said to him as he studied it again and
again. At last bis interest In It broke
out. He jumped up and walked across.
" 'Of course, It has feeling,' said he,
quite Irrelevantly. l liko it. But look
at that head '
"His lingers tiavelled sensitively
over the piaster
" 'No lioreie was ever constructed in
that way He Limply couldn't have
those great holes over his eyes.'
"As he felt it, be warmed up more
and more.
" 'Why. '.ome out here and I'll show
you,' he exclaimed.
"So he took his companion out to
where bis own horse was standing
and, regardless of the nud and slush
of a winter night, got down off the
porch to show I tlie antern light the
bony trocesses that really modified
the cavity in question."
Ducks Plentiful In China.
There are more ducks In China
than in i ll the rest of the world, says
"The Dundee Advertise!." China,
literally. Is white with these birds,
and day and cigm the country re
sounds with their metallic and scorn
ful voices. Chim.en herd ducks on
every road, on every pood, on every
farm, on every lake, on every river.
There is no backyard wltnout its duck
house. There is no boat, little or
great. 'without its diick quarters. Even
In the cities of China ducks abound.
They dodge between the coolies' legs.
They flit squawking out of the way
of tiie -iorscs. Their Indignant quack
will not iinsdom drown the roar of
urban commerce. All over the land
there are zreat duck hatching estab
lishments. mr.ny of thcro of a capacity
huge enough to produce fifty thou
sand young ducks every year. The
Chinese duck Is extremely tender and
delicate the best tame luck for eat
ing in the world. Duck, among the
Chinese. Is the staple delicacy. It is
salted and smoket. like bam or beef.
6!c!roorn Mirrors.
"Only i hni.u mirror, should fl i4
place in a f iclirocro," said a doctor,
"ih'C It should be ore flattering to the
patient the Kird, for Inrtnnce, which
if the fac.' Is too broad will lengthen
it a little. And the patient should only
be allowtii to look In the mirror at
propitious tiiuea. Mny r patient has
