PICTURE OF English farm life in the four teenth century presents a striking difference from a chronicle of the farmer's needs to-day. The early writer says: "I . have no penny pul lets for to buy, nor neither geese nor pigs, but I have two green cheeses, a few curds and cream, and an oat en cake, and two loave3 of bean3 and bran baken for my children. I have no salt bacon nor cooked meat collops, but I have parsley and leeks, and many cabbage plants." Dried fruits, prunes, etc., are much better and require less boiling, if wa ter is poured over them and allowed to soak over night. In the morning boil In the same wa ter until tender, sweetening five min utes before taking from the stove. The value of early sweetening is lost in the boiling. Save the Cinders. In cleaning the grate in the morning, you will find there is a quantity of coal which, burned on the outside, looks like cinders. To prove that this is not always so, take a lump of glowing anthracite coal, fresh and glowing from the fire. Throw It Into water and it will look black and dead on the outside. Break It open with a hammer, and It is a red-hot mass with in. This proves that time, and plenty of air are needed to burn out the coal, and what we call ashes and cinders are often excellent fuel. Turbot. This recipe will apply to any of the ordinary fresh fish. Steam (or boil) the fish until quite tender; take out bones and sprinkle with pepper and salt. For dressing, heat a pint of milk, and thicken with flour. When cool, add two eggs and a half cup but ter, then season with very little onion and parsley. Put in a baking dish a layer of fish, then of the sauce, then one of fish, etc., until the fish Is full, topping off with bread crumbs. Bake half an hour. its- v zitA trz fy-rpiW- Already Engaged.

I COMMISSIONER TALKS OP THE OLYMPIC GAMES. FOUR UNFAIR OFFICIALS Disqualifying of Carpenter and Help ing of Dorando In Marathon Es pecially Criticised Mana ger Hopkin's Views. New York, Aug. 8. "In my 20 years' connection with amateur sport I never saw anything so raw as the manner in which Carpenter was dis qualified in the 400-meter race," said James K. Sullivan, the American com missioner to the Olympic games re cently held in London, when he ar rived from Liverpool Friday on the steamer Cedric. Mr. Sullivan's criti cism of the conduct of the Olympic games was affirmed by Matthew K. Ilalpin, manager of the American team, who also returned. Mr. Halpln said that an attempt was made to out law the Americans and that it prob ably succeeded. May Proclaim Carpenter Winner. It was stated by men who had been to London to witness the games that a movement was on foot to proclaim J. C. Carpenter of Cornell university winner of the 400-meter race notwith standing the decision of the Olympic officials giving the race to Haswelle, the Englishman, on an alleged foul by Carpenter. Commissioner Sullivan said: "Great credit should be given our boys. The American people should, I think, present a loving cup to Hayes. He has proved himself the greatest long-distance runner this country has ever produced. I do not think It is entirely fair to criticise the whole British public for (he unfair treatment which we received, but the treatment accorded us by the officials at the games was to say the least, 'rotten.' Four Obnoxious Officials. "There were four English officials who were especially prominent in ac cording this unfair treatment. They were Dr. Bulger, Mr. Andrews, Mr. Fisher and Mr. Davidson. Andrews, as chief clerk of the course during the Marathon race, showed himself up In a particularly obnoxious manner. There are photographs to show Just how he helped the Italian runner across the line when the Italian was unable to get across first by himself. Lord Desborough, who was the chief official, is a truly sportsmanlike fellow. However, he knows almost nothlng about amateur athletics in the manner In which he should know them to hold as responsible a position as that which be had. "In my 30 years' connection with amateur sport I never saw anything so raw as the manner in which Carpenter was disqualified in the 400-meter race. That a plan had been cooked up to do us out of that event even before the race was very apparent. If our athletic association should attempt to act with English visitors In the man ner in which the English acted with us, the American press would drive us out of business in a jiffy." What Mr. Halpin Says. Mr. Halpln said: "We were turned ; down in all our protests and they hare tried to outlaw us and probably sac ceeded but we got more than we ex pected and are all well satisfied. "When an American flag was to be raised it would take 12 or 15 min utes for the English to get at work and get it up. When It was time for the raising of their own flag, up went their flag in a few seconds. When the Italian flag was raised right after the Marathon race there was a terrific outburst of applause. When a little later Hayes was carried around a3 vic tor, the applause was a very, very slight clapping of a few hundred 1 hands. In the face of all this our boys went at their work In good spir it, and with even more determination if possible to win out than they would i otherwise have had." SOLUM! r J
