Everybody knows that dripping Is supposed to be the juices, the savory essences, that fall from roasting meats. That is the supposition.

But what really is dripping the dripping that the poor of England buy by the pound and smear upon their bread In lieu of butter? The question perhaps will never be answered, but a partial solution is given to it by the fact that a London poorhouse recently bought at $7 a ton thirty-two tons of dripping from a soap works. Alfred Noyes used to tell a dripping itory. "A little boy," he would begin, "complained bitterly about the bread and dripping that formed his daily breakfast It'll kill be whined at last 'I know it'll kill 'Kill you? What do you mean? "Why. I've been feeling pretty bad lately, and now I know it's all this dripping what's the cause of the trouble. I read it in a 'Some pure food rubbish, I dare say!

HUMOR OF A CANNIBAL He Enjoyed It Himself, but It Didn't Tieklhe Victim. A number of natives came to greet us when we landed at Bau, a Fiji island, among them a few whom the consul seemed to know. They volunteered to act as escorts for us and by various expressions tried to convey the idea that they were glad to see us. A school forms one side of the square. Across from this stands the council chamber, built on the trench where the bodies were roasted for their former feasts.

The old headstone against which Cacobau used to dash the brains of his victims still stands, and the anchor and rudder of a French ship wrecked near Bau He beside it Beneath a picture of Queen Victoria 1 saw an old sword swinging. I examined It and found It was a French weapon, no doubt the arm of the unfortunate French vessel's commander. During the time this was going on Jim, Ratu Kadavu's servant who Is a particularly good type cf a large, muscular race, approached me, ran his hand around my waist and slowly down my thigh' and smacked his Hps with a wicked smile. I laughed at this display of aboriginal humor, but not very heartily, for the sword of the French captain still swung before my eyes. Christian Herald.

Time For the Actor to Step. On the subject of playing the same part over an indefinite number of times David Warfield says: "There is no such thing as playing a part too long. The mellowing process should never cease, but if it does, if spontaneity falls, if the actor feels that he Is becoming at all mechanical in the part be should abandon It at once for bis own salvation, "The surest danger signal is half hearted applause. From this the actor knows that be has lost an essential quality of the character, and the tragedy of It Is be cannot tell what that quality is or how be lost It An actor may-tell a Joke a thousand times and provoke laughter, but suddenly it falls of response That's the time for him to stop." American Magazine. A Cur For Mosquitoes.

The people of London have learned of an agreeable way to keep their houses free from flies and mosquitoes. They burn sandalwood, which has a pleasing odor, but one that the summer pests much dislike. The idea comes from the orient, where it has long been practiced. The sandalwood can be bought at almost any Turkish or Japanese importing house. You prepare it for burning by cutting It Into pieces about half an inch thick and three inches long and then bake or dry It in a slow oven for twenty-four hours.

You light a piece of the wood and put it in a metal urn or saucer. After it has ignited well blow out the flame and leave the red ember to smolder until the wood is wholly consumed. Father's Ultimatum. The father of a large family of children was trying bard to read the evening paper. "What's that terrible racket in the hall, Martha?" "One of the children Just fell downstairs."

The well fleshed, well dressed capon presents as much contrast when compared with the ordinary dressed rooster as a big butter ball, milk fed thoroughbred Pekin does when hung beside a bunch of stringy, tadpole chasing puddle ducks. The capon has distinctive marks. First it Is large, often mammoth, is all rounded and covered with a fullness of fancy tender juicy fatted flesh that epicures declare rivals a fat chestnut stuffed turkey. It is without comb, this being removed at caponizing, and while some remove the wattles, it is not necessary as they shrink up. Some dealers try Photo by C.

They have comb and wattles, are not true capons and are spoiled for breeding. Capons are dressed different from other poultry. Philadelphia style is the fashion. After being kept from food until empty, the fowl ia hung head down and arteries cut in back of throat. Perfect bleeding Is necessary that It be perfect in color and keeping quality.

An opening is made at rear, insides withdrawn, gizzard and liver cleaned and returned and the fatty interior allowed to protrude somewhat so that flaps of cut show rich flesh. The dealer should always be consulted as to whether he wants them drawn or undrawn.

Before packing the capons should be thoroughly cooled, freed from pin-feathers and head should be wrapped in paper to prevent blood staining carcass. City trade is best for capons. The best prices prevail from Thanksgiving to Decoration day. DON'TS. Don't forgot that one bullseye beats all the scattered shots.

To do well you must make every shot tell. Don't skimp feed nor overfeed. It doesn't pay either way. Don't forget to give Mariar credit for her work and much you think you've done. Don't crowd your poultry house with the thought of reducing the flock later on.

Disease may not give you the chance. Don't borrow trouble nor your neighbor's ideas unless you give him credit Don't haul skinny chickens to market when a few weeks in the fattening crate will pay you a much better rate. Don't use smeared egg crates. Clean crates and fine eggs for best rates. shelly life East Middlebury, "Vt.
