Every citi zen of the Southwest knows it well, but perhaps there are residents of the Northern belt of the country who are probably quite unfamiliar with this toothsome dish, yet one which should be espeeially acceptable to the people Of the ljoitii'iahd. Cliile con carne, a S punish term, translated literally humus chile red pepp.-rs witli 'meat. I'rojjerly pro pared, it is stimulating, warming and extremely grateful to a cold and hun gry stomach. From one of our Mexi can ambassadors oini'H the following method for preparation a recipe direct from a famous cook in the capital of our sister republic to the South: 'Cover two pounds of tender leef with water and push the kettle ljack on the stove where it will barely sim mer, until the meat is in shreds.

He was much pleased with the place, but was quite bored by his host, who would eulogize everything that was brought to the table. "Try some of this," he would say, "It Is some of my own raising," or "this is some of our own milk, and that lettuce la from the cold-frame you saw," or "these peas are from vines I planted Just four wks ago today." All of this was endured quite patiently until tbe host remarked, "Now try some of this chicken. I raised It myself." "No, no, I can never believe that," said the visitor.

Pay of Russian Officialdom, Those who keen track of affairs in Russia note the Troininonce of the Grand lJukes. These gentlemen of the people enjoy a sinecure unlike any other on earth. There are over fifty of them, aud each is possessed of an annual income or salary of f-'.OtiO.OOO, all combined imposing a burden of $100,0OO,0Xi a year on the Russian peo ple, as members or off-shoots of the Hoyal Family. Their property, like that of the Czar, amounting to a vast sum la untaxed. The question may well suggest itself, why should Russia want to borrow war funds m raris when she has her Grand Dukes un- tapped and even untaxed? There Is a chance now on the part of these titled mendicants to display a little patriot ism, by opening their cash boxes. One of them, it is true, went to the front in the Japanese War, but made such a mess of himself that he was called home In disgrace.
