TABLE DELICACY OF GERMANY
Westphalian Ham Is Given Its Piquant
Taste by the Use of Juniper
Berries.
Wherever a German table delicacy
Is in demand, there is the Westphal¬
ian ham to be found. It is given its
peculiar piquant taste by the use of
juniper berries in smoking the meat.
The juniper shrub is indigenous to
northwestern Germany and so plenti¬
ful, especially in Westphalia, that to
its presence is due the growth, during
the past several centuries, of two
principal industries of this German
province, the distillation of gin and
the preparation of hams. After weeks
of preparation the hams are ready to
be smoked. The smoke houses con¬
sist sometimes of two, and sometimes
I of three stories, the fire being kindled
I J ia the lowest and the meat hung in
the second and third, to which the
j smoke ascends through holes in the
j flooring. variably Westphalian hams are in
I I smoked over a bright fire
made of beech-wood only, except that
juniper twigs and berries are constant¬
ly thrown on the fire. Beech-wood
sawdust is strewn over the fire in
case it becomes too strong. The
smoking process requires on an aver¬
age about eight days.

WHERE RELIGION IS OPEN
Its Observance In Public Is Common
Among Eastern Christians, as
Among Mohammedans.
The Bishop of London has been
praising the openness with which Mo¬
hammedans practice their religion. He
would like to have mats in the athe¬
naeum for bishops to kneel on to say
their prayers in public. Eastern Chris¬
tians, as the bishop must have ob¬
served when in Russia, are quite as
open in religious observances as Mo¬
hammedans. Nobody thinks it eccen¬
tric for a man to kneel down in a
crowded street in order to say his
prayers before some icon. Passengers
cross themselves when their train or
tram starts. No man ever passes
through the Gate of the Savior, lead¬
ing into the Kremlin at Moscow,
without uncovering. In Poland the
common greeting of the country
people one meets on the lonely roads
across the sad plains is “May Jesus
Christ be praised,” and it is the cus¬
tom to reply, “For ever and ever.” In
Vilma people are to be seen kneeling
in the street before the Ostrabramska
gateway to pray before the picture of
the Virgin and child, seen through a
window high in the gate. This shrine
is a Catholic one, but even the ortho¬
dox bare their heads to walk up the
narrow and crowded street leading
to it.
Flowers Have Eyes.
Many common garden and wild flow¬
ers—the nasturtium, begonia, clover,
wood sorrel and bluebell among oth¬
ers—possess eyes on their leaves.
Moreover, these eyes in their prin¬
ciple of construction resemble those
of animals. They consist of minute
protuberances filled with a transpar¬
ent, gummy substance, which focuses
the rays of light on a sensitive patch
of tissue. The nasturtium has thou¬
sands of eyes on its leaves, and these
form as many images of the surround¬
ing object. While flowers have eyes,
however, it. does not follow that they
can see. It is not known whether or
not the sense impressions are trans¬
mitted to some nerve centers corre¬
sponding to the brain of animals.—

Fine Flocks of Chickens Bid De¬
fiance to Egg Trust.
Product of Two Thousand Prize Birds
at Tarrytown Farm More Than
Owner Can Use—Many Are
Sold to the Trade.
New York.—There may be 30,000,
000 eggs in cold storage in New Jer¬
sey or anywhere else, but Miss Helen
Miller Gould can snap her 'fingers and
forget about it, for she owns one of
the finest poultry farms in New York
state, writes a Tarrytown correspond¬
ent. The establishment of this farm
has proved Miss Gould to be a good
business woman, for it is practically
self-sustaining. This is an added com¬
fort to the convenience of having
fresh eggs when you want them and
as many as you want.
Miss Gould decided about a year
ago that she wanted a poultry farm
to free herself from any egg trust.
She has a most capable superintend¬
ent in Archibald Robbie, and upon
him devolved the work of carrying
out the plans. Miss Gould has plenty
of land, and the site selected for the
chicken farm was on the property on
the White Plains road, east of Mead¬
ow street.
Only two breeds are housed on the
farm—white Leghorns and Wyan
dottes. Miss Gould tries to keep the
number up to 2,000. Just now it is
below that figure, but the incubators
will be started soon and a large num¬
ber of broilers are planned for the
spring. The farm provides Miss
Gould with all the eggs she wants at
all times. It also provides broilers,
chickens for roasting, squabs, capons
and ducks. In the spring, when the
egg harvest Is greatest, Miss Gould
often finds that she has more eggs
than she can use.
Following the policy that nothing
shall be wasted, these eggs are sent
to some grocery stores in Tarrytown,
where they are on sale as the Gould
estate eggs, and great is the demand.
These eggs bring the highest prices
and are sold quickly. That Is why
there is such a demand for these eggs
by grocers.
The henhouses are built with every
convenience, proper ventilation and
freedom from dampness. The houses
are of wood and are not lined with
plaster boards, but have a tight board
wood finish which prevents dampness.
This wood Is sprayed with whitening
once a week. The floor is of con¬
crete, and about one and one-half
inches cbove the concrete Is a tight
board flooring.
A cottage adjoining the farm has
been built. This Is occupied by the
keeper. The chickens have to be fed
at regular periods and all the food is
selected with the idea of getting max¬
imum results. A pond has been made
for the ducks.
As to the egg production, no exact
figures are obtainable, but it is said
that often a thousand are obtained in
a day. Miss Gould is fond of chick¬
ens and the choicest stock is always
at her disposal. The farm is one of
the sights for a visitor to Lyndhurst.
It has proved a great success, and
Miss Gould Is very proud of it.
Rather Poor Excuse,
She—I didn't go to work Friday.
He—Any excuse?
She—Why, 1 had no clothes to wear.
He—Your boss must be pretty fus

What would a business education
be worth.
Many business men owe their success to their
business education. Very few men have suc¬
ceeded without one. Would a thorough
knowledge of Bookkeeping place you in a pos¬
ition to increase vour salary?
A pers > s salary depends upon his ability.
Y *u are doubtless receiving all that you are
worth, to be wort i in re you must increase
your ability.
A clerk can not hope to receive a book¬
keeper s pay. You may dream you will some
day but unless you prepare yourself to hold
down the job—will vour dream come true?
The man behind the desk has easier work than
you—-and double the pay, whv? He was his
business education.
The contractor >et< rich— cm have as
much practical knowledge as he—*hy are you
aot a contractor? You need the business edu¬
cation. It lakes a bo\ I 4 years to complete a
iterary education. When he finishes what has
he got that the business man wants? It takes
the same boy 6 to 9 months to complete a
commercial course. Do you get that? Our
commercial school is running every night. We

Good Old English Custom.
There was an old-fashioned custom
on the English road, which I suspect
is now obsolete, or practiced only by
the vulgar. Journeys of length being
made on horseback, and, of course by
brief stages, it was usual always to
make a halt on the Sunday in some
town where the traveler might attend
divine service and his horse have the
benefit of the day of rest, the institu¬
tion of which is as humane to our brute
laborers as profitable to ourselves. A
counterpart to this decent practice,
and a remnant of old English hospital¬
ity, was, that the landlord of a prin¬
cipal inn laid aside his character of a
publican on the seventh day, and in¬
vited the guests who chanced to be
within his walls to take a part of his
family beef and pudding. This invi¬
tation was usually complied with by
all whose distinguished rank did not
induce them to think compliance a de¬
rogation; and the proposal of a bottle
of wine after dinner, to drink the land¬
lord’s health, was the only recom¬
pense ever offered or accepted.—Sir
Walter Scott
