The following pretty story gives tho
Chinese legend about the origin of tho
fan: "One evening when the beautiful
Knu Si daughter of a powerful Chinese
mandarin, was assisting at the great
feast ol lanterns, she w s so overcome by
the heat that sho was obliged to tnko oil
lo r mask. But to exposo her face to
the eves of the profane and vulgar was a
serious offence against tlio law, so, bold
ing the mask as closely as possible to
her features, she rapidly lluttored it to
give herself air, and the rapidity of the
movement still eoncenled her. The
other ladies present, witnessing this
hardy but charming innovation, imitated
it, and at once 10,000 hands wore tlut-
tering 10,000 masks. Thus the fan was
evoked and took the place of the mask.”

First prepare some Indian meal inunh
by frying, working as follows: Put over
tho fire 11 saucepan containing about two
quarts water, a level table-spoonful of
salt u suit-spoonful of pepper; iuto this
water, when it boils, stir enough Indian
meal to mako a mush thick enough to
hold tho pudding-stick upright iu it
when it boils; about two poiiuds of In
dian meal will thicken two quarts of
water; unless it seems quite easy to sift
the meal gradually iuto the boiling
water with tlio left band, wliilo tlio right
is used constantly for stirring, the meal
may lie mixed to a thin batter with
cold water and then poured and stirred
gradually into tho boiling water; the ad
dition of two heaping table-spoonfuls of
(lour to each pound of Indian meal bo.
fore cooking will make tlio mush cosier
to fry, because the Hour will hold tho
slices of mush together during tlio fry
ing; nfter tho mush has been stirred quite
free from lumps lot it boil for an hour,
stirring it often enough to prevent burn
ing, and using only onougb heat to
maintain it at Iho boiling point; when tho
mush is sufficiently cooked pour into
pans or oarthdb dishes wet with cold
water, and lot it cool; it will then ho
ready to slice and fry.
To make tho salt pork fritters slice a
pound of salt pork in pieces about a
quarter of au inch thick ; put three or
four of the slices iuto a frying-pan, and
slowly fry them until all tho drippings
are extracted, for tho purpose of frying
the fritters ; then roll tho rest of tho pork
iu Indian meal, and fry them in the pork
drippings ; iu tho same pan, and at tho
same time, fry slices of cold, boiled mush,
and serve them on the dish with the fried
salt pork'.
