The Brussels Post, 1912-9-12, Page 3SANDWICHES. Orange Marmalade Sandwiches - Orange laarmalacle, buttered white baeacl. Cut the broad into thin slices about three-eighths inch thick and spread orange marmalade on one. Putt over another slice of bread and cover this with marma- lade. Do this until you have four slices on top of one another. Then' put under a weight, and when well pressed trim off the crusts and cut down in thin slices with a sharp knife. The slices will look like jel- ly cake. Pepper Sandwiches. -Three green sweet peppers, three hard boiled eggs, small cupful of mayonnaise, thin sliceof buttered bread. Run the peppers and the eggs through the meat chopper or chop them fine- ly in a chopping bowl. Cover the chopped material with suffieint may- onnaise to give it the proper eon- sistency for spreading. Trim the -crusts froxn the buttered bread and put in a substantial layer of the fil- ling. Delicious Sandwiches. -One and one-half eupfuls of light brown su- gar, scant teaspoonful of butter, three-faurths cupful of water, one- half pound of shredded cocoanut, onehalf pound of chopped figs, one- half cupful of chopped walnuts, whole wheat bread. Boil the sugar, butter, and water together until they form a thick syrup. Then re- move from the fire and add the co- coanut, the figs, and the nuts. Stir until creamy and pour into a but- tered dish. When cool spread be- tween thin slices of the bread. Chicken Sandwiches. - Leftover roasted or boiled chicken, cream to soften; piece of butter, salt and pepper, buttered white bread. Mince up the chicken and put it in- to a saucepan with sufficient cream t(or gravy, if there is any a,t hand) to soften it, Then add a good sized piece of butter and a seasoning of pepper and salt. Put over the fire to heat, working the mixture con- stantly until it resembles a paste. Pour on a plate and when cool spread between thin slices of the bread. PINEAPPLE RECIPES. Canned Pineapple -In preparing pineapples for canning I have al- ways tried to keep the slices whole and round, and it was not an easy task until this year. Then 1 bit upon this expedient: I sliced the pineapples first and pared away the outside with a sharp knife. As I began upon the first one, it occur- red to :me that it would be a great help if I had regular factory tools with which to do the work. Then came the thought: Why not use the doughnut cuter? No sooner said than done! I was more than pleas- ed with the result. Some doubting economist may say, "Whence this waste?" I answer that the new me- thod enabled me to turn out round, even slices with the cores removed easily, and redueed the waste to a minimum. That nothing be lost, I trimmed away he tough rind from the scraps left by the cutter, separ- ating the good bits from the bad, and made of these marmalade. I might have run them through the meat grinder and canned them sep- arately. I inclose the marmalade recipe. Pineapple Marmalade. -One and .a hall pineapples ground fine, or the equivalent of ground pineapple made from the scraps I have spoken of. Four cupfuls of dried rhubarb; pulp of one orange and half the rind, ground fine. Pulp and half the ground rind of one lemon; one- half cupful of 'almonds, blanched and ground ; six cupfuls of sugar. Mix all the ingredients except the nuts into a mass, bruising as little as poisible, and cook until they are a thick, clear conserve; take from the stave, stir in the nuts, and pour into .glasses rolled in hot water, When they are cold cover with mel - itself paralfin.-Mrs. D. J. G. THE BEST KIND OF CELLAR. The storeroom for food may be the tiny closet of the flat dweller in a city or the cellar of the village or farm house. In the last case it of- ten has a commercial as well as a household value, since it keeps fruits and vegetables in good cOn- <Mien until marketed, as well as until they are needed for the home -table; but in any case it ehould be cool, dry, clean and regularly aired. It may be well to describe a cel- lar that is badly built and careless- ly kept in order to sea what should' be exactly opposite conditiens. Such a cellar may be dug in wet grounds, without sufficient drainage of the subsoil ; it may even be in contact with open sewers or drains, which have been proved in certain ea,sea to cent:Ain specific organisms cap- able of producing disease.

Again, it may be dug to such an extent below the surface uf the ground that the windows are wholly inadequate for lighting and ventilation. It may have an earthen floor, or one of badly matched boards impos- sible to keep clean. It will probab- ly have a musty smell, proof posi- tive that mold plants are there and ready to attack any fruit and vege- tables that are stored on its shelves or in its dirty bins. If, in addition to this faulty con- struction, the cellar is badly kept, bits of rotting fruit and vegetables being left about, not only will these conditions favor the spoiling of food, but they may prove injurious to the health of the family living above stairs. A cellar that meets modern re- quirements must be dug in ground that is well drained, either natur- ally or by artificial means. It must be remembered that a cellar is not, first of all, a storeroom; it is an essential part of a well-planned house in helping to keep an equable temperature, and if its walls and floor are what they should be, it prevents dampness and ground air frem nising into the house. If the house is set close to the ground the cellar windows must be wide enough to compensate for their lack in height and must be set op- posite to each other in order to in- sure good draft, CLEANLINESS IN KITCHEN. There may sometimes be observed in the cooked dish a loss of flavor, not a bad taste, but a lack of what is appetizing. It would be interest- ing to know in how many cam: this -COMICS from a lack of Cleanliness in utensils and methods, Personal cleanliness is, of course, essential in the kitchen, and every good housekeeper endeavors to maintain- a high standard in such matters some food manufactories make special effort to secure clean- liness and hygienic surroundnngs, and the geed example they set should be generally followed. "Food and fingers are carriers of contagion." The proper way of washing the hands, if seriously taught and seriously practised, in the market and in the kitchen, would go far to remove the source not only of infection but of such ad- ditions to the food as, are disgust- ing. In this matter some food manufactories are cleaner in their methods than are our kitchen. In one large bakery, whore informa- tion was collected, the rule is in force that every employe shall wash his hands on returning to the room after leaving it for any purpose whatever. The running tap, like the shower bath, offers a groat improvement over old methods of washing. Few will have patience to fill and refill the hand basin until the hands aro bathed at last in clean water, loot this. result is easily accomplished under the tap. The nailbrush and nail cleaner must have their place in the kitchen, and their use must be insisted on before bread or <lake is mixed and after work at all soil- ing in eharacter.

When one recalls that experiment has shown that a fine epray of saliva may be thrown in all directions for a distance of four or five feet by a violent sneeze or cough, and that often the cause of the cough or sneeze•is something which can be thus communicated THE SUNDAY SCH3iL STUDY INTERNATIONAL LESSON, SEPT. 8. .7 - Lesson X. -The Mission of the twelve, Matt. 9. 35 to 10. 15; 10. 40 to 11.

The reference is to the common people, who had become the victims of the scribes and Pharisees. As sheep not having a shepherd - Mark introduces this statement just previous to the feeding of the five thousand (6. 34). A sharp denun- ciation, of the religious leaders of the people is here involved. They were blind leaders of the blind (Matt. 15. 14). Instead of giving instruction which would help the multitudes to find their way into the Kingdom, they raised obstruc- tions which hindered them (Matt. 23. 13), and imposed burdens "grievous to be borne" (Matt. 23. 4). 37. The harvest -The souls to be garnered into the Kingdom aro lik- ePed to the precious grain. Ac- cording to Luke, these words were also addressed to the seventy (10. 2). 38.

Previous to this time they had been called simp- ly "disciples." Sianon, who is called Peter - Peter, or Cephas, was his surname. It was an Aramaic name, meaning "the rock," which Jesus gave to Simon the first time they met (John 1. 42). Andrew -Who brought Simon to haus (John 1. 35-42) and the first missionary of the Kingdom.

NELSON NO HERO TO HIM, Unflattering Comments in better by Lord St. Vincent, Two remarkable letters from Ad- miral Lord Ht. Vincent, in whish very unflattering mminents are made upon Nelson's conduet and capacity, aro published by the Bri- tish Navy Records Suelety. They are printed fur the first time. The first letter was addressed to Evan Nepean, then Secretary of the Admiralty, in November, 1800. when Nelson had just returned from the Mediterranean after his victory at the opens thus: "It is evident from Lord Nelson's letter to you on his landieg that he is doubtful of the propriety of his eenduct, I have no doubt he is pledged to getting Lady Hamilton ropeived at St. James's and every- where, and that he will get into much broullerie about it. "Troubridge says Lord Spencer talks of putting him in a two -decked ship, If he does he must give him a separate command, for he cannot bear confinement to any object; he is a partizan ; his ,ship always in the most dreadful disorder, and ne• ver can become an officer fit to be placed where I am." These are extraordinary strie- tures upon the greatest genius the Brit11 navy ever produced. There is another and scarcely more kindly notice in January, 1801 "Nelson was very low when he first came here, the day before, yes- terday ; appeared and acted as if he had done me an injury and felt apprehensive that I was acquainted with it. Pour man, he is devoured with vanity, weakness and folly; was strung with ribbons, medals, etc., and yet pretended that he wished to avoid the honor and cere- monies he everywhere met with upon the road.' Nelson writes in his private, cor- respondence concerning this very interview with St. Vincent: "The Earl received me with much appar- ent cordiality." The fact would appear to be that St, Vincent was annoyed .at Nelson's popularity and could not pardon Nelson for bring- ing an action against him. St. Vin- cent, though a great officer, was a vindictive man, and he never seems to have quite forgiven his former subordinate for surpassing him in glory. These criticisms lent some sup- port to the rumor current in 1804, during Nelson's last and greatest command, that St. Vincent thought of recalling him and indeed drafted the order when a change of Govern- ment removed him from the Admir- alty. -_--'I'MUNICli BEESTATISTICS. Seventy Gallons to a Parson -No Decrease in Output. As a beer -drinking community the the capital of Bavaria seems in no immediate danger of losing its pre- eminence, writes a correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette, According to statistics just pub- lished by the municipal authorities, the consumption of beer per head of the population last year amount- ed to no less than 7014 gallons. This is nearly three times as much as that of the Englishman, who is cre- dited in the last official returns with a per capita consumption of only 26 gallons. Munich's breweries produced last year 81.752,000 gallons of beer, of which 42,500,000 gallons were drunk in the city while the rest was ex- ported to ether parts of Germany and .abroad. This home consump- tion represented an increase of 2,310,000 gallons as compared with 1910.f 0course it is not possible to tell how much of the beer is drunk by the citizens and how much by the tourists. The number of the latter increases every year and very few of them miss a visit to the mammoth breweries with their attractive beer halls and gardens accommodating thousands of persons.

Several Concrete Ilighwa.ys Rave Reeently Been Built. and Other Criminals to Title Up. Stories alma the venality of the New York police, such as those that have been appearing in the newspapers as a sequel to the murder of the gambler Rosenthal, are highly sensational, writes a criminal in London Answers. I know, from my own experi- ences, that the pollee of New York systematically blackmail known criminals by demanding money from them whenever they are seen to be "flush." A typical adventure out of many of this sort that befell me happened one afternoon when I had had a good time in a pool -room, as the places where one used to back horses on the tape were called. I was standing in the street -rather foolishly, 1 admit -taking stock of the notes that constituted the spoil, when a policeman came up to me, and good-humoredly re- marked that I seemed to have been having a good time. I assented, and volunteered the information that I had been find- ing winners, at which he shrugged his shoulders, and said that the TALE WAS TOO THREADBARE. "It's true, anyway," I urged. "I haven't been grafting for a long time now," "Well," he retorted, "there's been a lot doing in your line on the street -cars lately, and any 'leather - shifter' (pickpocket) that's brought up can reckon on getting sent to the 'island' (the short -sentence prison on Blackwell's Island, in the Hud- son River) for three months or so, on general principles. You needn't go, unless you like." I knew what that meant well enough, and was also aware that kicking was no good; so I asked him bluntly how much he wanted. "How much have you got in that wad ?" he asked, pointing to the bundle of notes I foolishly held in my hand. I replied to the effect that 1 had two hundred dellars, though, in reality, there was much more, as some of the bills were of large de- nomination_ "Then fifty dollars won't hurt you," he said, And I duly parted with that sum to save myself from being arrested. THAT WAS PURE BLACKMAIL, which always leaves a bad taste be- hind it; but in most cases one doe's get something real for one's money, as in • the case following. I had neatly relieved a man of a fat -wal- let, and was spotted in the very art by a Central Office detective, though I had no suspicion at the time that I had been seen. It would have been a sure enough long, term for me if the detective had pounced on me there ancl then, but that didn't suit his book any more than it. would have suited mine. Instead of arresting me, he fol- lowed Me; and when we had gone some distance away from the scene of the crime, without there being any signs of a- hue -and -cry, he over- took me, and coolly demanded hall -the "dough." I gave it to him willingly, and thought him very generons in not taking the iot-a trick others had played upon me when I had been caught with the proceeds of a robbery in my pos- session. It is so well recognized among the criminal fraternity in New York that every policeman has bis price that the first thing a "crook" does on his release from prison is to get SOME "FALL MONEY" put by, and he never feels comfor- table in working until he has got a tidy slim at bus back to be used on occasion for squaring the police should the urgency arise. Tbe police cannot be squared, however, in cans that make a great noise, or where the victim is an in- fluential man ; but "fall money" is necessary, all the .same, for a good lawyer is a great necessity for a It was Commonly believed in my circle that some .of the pollee -cap, tains bagged as -much as 680,000 a year in bribes, but I haven't Any first-hand kuowledge on this point.

All the Provincial Gov- ernments are providing aid, and with the assistance of specially en- gaged engineers, are showing the various municipalities the way to build for permanence and avoid the heavy and constantly recurring up- keep charges that are the inevit- able result of cheap and inferior road -building, The road building laws of various European countries and the Unit- ed States are discussed, attention being called to the fact that the United States Government main- tains a Bureau of Public Roads at tt Washington, and although the maintenance of roads there is pri- mayfly a charge upon thesnunici- palitics, thirty-three states have laws providing for varying degrees of assistance and control, Until the advent of the automo- bile the principal types of road were dirt, gravel, macadam and telford, but it soon became appar- ent that none of these would stand the wear and tear of automobile traffic for any length of time. It thus became necessary to try some new form of construction. This led th experimentation With various different materials, among them he- ing concrete. Quite a number of concrete high- ways have been built in the last few years. Like all new materials, the early xperiments were not a coM- plate success. This was 'due, prin- cipally, to the lack of experience in handling the material for this put - pose, and at first there were as many different ways ofbuilding the roads as there were roads them- selves. But in the light of the ex- perienee gained by these pioneers, several lams of construction have survived, Many a good wom n prays for her husbnnel, "4 -it she keeps Mt eye
