TASTY RECIPES. Baked Spring Chicken.--Cut each of four chickens into seven or nine pieces, wash thoroughly and quick- ly and put in a colander to drain; put a half tablespoonful' each of lard and butter into a dripping pan, lay in the pieces, and add half a pint of hot water; place in oven and bake half an hour; turn, taking care that they get only to a light brown, and just before taking up add salt and pep- per to taste; when done take out in a dish and keep hot. To make, the gravy, add a half pint or more | of water, set the dripping pan on, the stove and add one tablespoon- ! ful flour mixed with half cup of} cream or milk, stirring slowly, ad- | ding a little of the mixture at a time. Let cook thoroughly, stir- ring constantly to prevent burn- ing; season more if necessary. Macaroni and Cheese.--One pack- | age of macaroni broken in sma!l | pieces and thrown into boiling salt- | ed water; boil until tender, stir- ring so it will not stick to the bot- tom of the kettle. Then turn into colander or sieve and turn cold water on it until perfectly cold, then let it drain well.

Tigers Are Now Caught With Sticky Fly Paper. A new way to sn tigers has been revealed by Payson Stewart, who has just returned to England from India where he learned about it "A certain Indian gentleman of wealth and title has a hobby of and domesticating wild His last experience, ac- cording to Mr. Stewart, was with tigers which he had captured and brought to his place at great ex- pense. For a long time they were ept in a compound unti th they seemed to have become as harmless and tame as house cats. Then they were let- loose to be pets of the neighborhood. Immediately their jungle tastes and habits returned. The first night they cleaned out a native village and ate up some- thing like a score of inhabitants. In spite of all the ensuing excite- ment, the would-be tiger tamer in- sisted that the animals must be captured alive and returned to the compound; they were too valuable to be killed and so the hunting party was disban No volunteers came forward, however, to catch the tigers as you do sheep, or even by putting salt on their tails. Then western in- enuity came to the front. Mr. Stewart suggested fly paper. Hun- dreds of sheets of it were spread around the lawns. While the anx- ious people in the houses were peering out that night the tigers prowled up, stepped on the sticky fly paper, seemed very much dis- concerted when it did not drop off and that the more they rubbed 'around to wipe it away they more they got on. In a minute cr so what might have been an approaching tragedy was turned into a burlesque. The tigers changed from terrors to clowns in their struggles with the fly paper. They rolled on the ground to rub it off and finally be- tame wiggling, howling bundles of paper inste of ferocious wi animals. They were so stuck up that they couldn't even see an hardly move, and were easily cap- tured. a BEQUESTS TO MANY WOMEN. ; Will of a Noted Engineer Being Contested in England. A-strange chapter in the love af- fairs of the late Colonel George Earl Church, the noted engineer, was revealed in the King's Bench | Division, London, England, _ re- cently, through the sat instituted | by Mrs. Annie Margaret Salmon for a share in the Church estate The septuagenary plaintiff lost her case, the jury returning a verdict for the defendants, who were the | Colonel's widow and his executors. Colonel Church died in London on January 5, 1910. According to the prosecutor's case the Colonel met Mrs. Chase and her_ invalid husband on the Continent, an | promised to marry her when the 'husband died. When Salmon pas- sed away, however, Church mar- | ried another woman. Subsequent- ly the plaintiff agreed to accept an annuity in Soenpensnation for her disappointment. Mrs. Salton testified that _ received the annuity for eleve years, but when Church died his executors refused to recognize the alleged agrecment. | Tne prosecution further assert- 'ed that the Colonel's wil provided for payments of $150,000 to each of three women, the wives of foreign- ers whom Church had met on the ' Continent, but, rs.
