SOME INEXPENSIVE MEATS. Suggestions from Experienced Hotel Man Which May Be of Value to Housekeepers. A hotel steward of many years’ expe- rience gave the present writer in con- Versation a number of interesting facts from his experience in catering, both in @ hotel] and in a private family. The cheap cuts of beef, he said, are not at all Qvailable in these days in a hotel or Testaurant because the patrons, most- ay men, are suspicious of any made-up meat dish. In the private household, however, there is no reason why the less expensive meats cannot be made as palatable as need be, and of their nour- ishing qualities there is no dispute. For example, the bottom of the round of steak may be rendered tender by long cooking as a pot roast, and is delicious when rightly done. Our friend, the hotel man, says a writer in Good Housekeeping, sounded &@ note of warning concerning hamburg steak. Round steak cut fine in a ma- chine is as nourishing, and in the opinion of many people as good as the tenderest of short steak. Beware, how- ever, of buying that which is found Teady made on the counter of a large market. Hamburg steak, like sausage. fs the destiny of a great many scraps anda great deal of partially tainted meat. That which {fs made to the cus- tomer's order from a piece which he sees cut off, or which he knows is cut off for his use, is safe and good. Cases have been known, however, where even this 1s not enough precaution, for some mar- ketmen are careless about the chopper and allow the bits of meat and juice to dry on the machine, Indeed, the method par excellence is to huy your own meat, take it home, remove the gristle and tough shin, wipe it well and then put ft throveh your own chopper, when it may be fine or coarse, according to your taste. The consumption of sausage has toa large extent declined in American ho- tels and in many private families be- cause of dishonesty in {ts manufacture, Good sausage is still to be had if one knows his dealer or manufacturer, It commands a good price, and it is worthy a place on any table, but that which is not guaranteed had better be left severely alone. Meat spoiled in shipping, of which there is a very larre quantity, is usually worked into this form. Poultry which Is to be had in the mar- ket at any season of the year except Christmas time is almost certain to have come from cold storage, as fowls are killed in December for the holiday trad and to be put into the cold storage ware- houses. Cold storage poultry is better than fish thus preserved, which the per- son who regards his digestion and health will not buy; it is not, however, so good as the freshly killed, which can be had only from one’s own poultry yard or from some private source of supply. COUNSEL COT HIS QUIETUS. Attempted to Grill Newspaper Writer and Was in Turn Properly Roasted, Not long ago a prominent contrib- utor to the columns of the newspapers was a witness in a trivial case in court and was being harried by a bumptious country lawyer, who asked: “So you are a writer,are you? Well, sir, with what great paper or magazine are you connected?” “With none.” was the modest reply, relates the Washington Times. “Then why do you call yourself a writer? What co you write—novels, scientific works, histories. or what?” “I write anything and everything that occurs to me as likely to be worth read- ing, or to sell whether it is worth read- ing or not.” “Well, then, for whom or for what do you write? You say you are not con- nected with any paper or magazine.” “Yes, sir; I so stated. I am an un- attached writer for the general mar- ket.” “Just so. You write anything that occurs to you. Well. now. do you ever write up the proceedings of courts?” “T have done so occasfonally.” “Can you state to the judge and jury what particular kind of court proceed- ings you would deem worthy of your pen?” “Yes; if I saw a young lawyer treat- ing a respectable witness in a very rude and disrespectful manner and making an ass of himself generally, I should think that possibly worth writ- ing up.” The court and jury smiled audibly. The judge took the witness in hand for a@ moment. “How mueh do you think a scene like this, for instance, ovght to bring if it were well written up?” “It would depend upon the actors. If the lawyer were a nerson of any note or character, possibly $f or $10.” “What would you exnert to receive should vou write the facts of this par- ticular instance?” “About 75 cents, your honor.” Counsel for the defense had no more questions to ask, Cornstarch Puffs. Rub one Cupful of sugar and half a cupful of butter to a cream; add the beaten yolks of four eggs and a cup- ful of cornstarch alternately with the stiffly beaten whites; stir in two’ tea- spoonfuls baking powder and one of vanilla extract; bake ih well-greased, heated gem pans, in a qick oven; ice with a botied icing. This recipe makes 20 puffs, and they last fresh for sev- eral days.—People’s Home Journal. CANDIDATES OF FUTURE. , ADAGES ABOUT WEATHER. |g Huni On in West Virginia. Log Cabin and Farm Features Will Not Be So Much in Evidence as in the Past. “When the next generation reads | the history of presidential candidates it will not find the farm and log cabin incidents that we have been reading | in our time,” said an old politician as he laid down his paper, according to the New York Sun. “I have just read,” he continued, “that a number of college studenfs have been engaged as conductors on & trolley line in a near-by city. Not long ago I read another article about college students who had been engaged as waiters or guides, and in one case about a young man who had hired out to do scullery work in a hotel at a summer resort. “The log cabin boy and the farmer boy are becoming scarce in this coun- try. Mr. Fairbanks was a farmer lad, but he quit the work as soon as he saw an opportunity to get ahead in another business, Some of the papers have referred to Judge Parker as a farmer, but he is not a farmer in the common acteptation of that word. “The future presidents of the coun- try are on the trolley lines, or acting as waiters, Better be polite to these young men you meet on the street cars. Some of the futures may be banjo players m the college clubs or a coach to some col- lege team. “Every boy is going to college now, or will be within the next’ 25 years. The farmer of the future will be a hired man, The son of the owner wiil be prepared for professional life as soon as be can make it, “The story of the boy who-got his schooling in the little schoolhouse in the country is nearly threadbare now. The country schoolhouse is moving out of sight pretty rapidly. If you find one anywhere in the woods, take off your hat and salute it. If you see a farm- house on the roadside, give it your bless- ing. “The boy is not in the field. He is somewhere in a factory learning a trade; or he is becoming an electrician; maybe is working as a waiter ina tavern. But you won't find him following the plow “If you want to run him down in the night, you will find him pursuing his studies under an electric light. The boy you used to hear about, who chopped wood all day and then studied by the light of the fire, is not to be found any more, “Out of the great community of boys growing up will come the next presi- dents. The writers in search of ma- erial to make up their histories wil! have a new field. The log house and farm feature will not figure in the his- tory of the campaign in ten or fifteen years from now.” SOME NEGRO STATISTICS. Death Rate in This Country Nearly Twice That of the White Race. The final census bulletin on the negro population shows that there are 9,204,- 531 negroes in the United States, in- cluding Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico. Half of this great number are under 19 years of age and from 11 to 16 per cent. of them have white blood in their veins. The center of this black popu- lation is De Kalb county, Ala., it hav- ing moved from Dinwiddie county, Va., northeast 476 miles, since 1790, Thus, says the Fansas City Journal; the negro population constitutes about one-fifteenth of the city population and one-seventh of the country population of continental United States. This proposition, although. still large, is the result of a steady decline during the nineteenth century. The death rate of negroes approximates 30> per cent., while that of the whites is 17 per cent. : At present fully 90 per cent. of the ne- groes live in the southern states and 77 per cent. of them reside upon farms. But the northern migration to the big cities has been noticeable during the last two decades, and is in a large meas- ure responsible for the excessive death rate among them. Bad habits. poverty and disease make terrible inroads upon negroes living in the big cities. The largest number of negroes living in compact masses are found in certain urban counties, several of which 1ié outside the »reat cotton-growing states. The four eachshaving 75,000 negroes are District of Columbia, coextensive with Washington; Shelby county, Tenn., containing Memphis; Baltimore city, Md.,-and Orleans parish, La.; coexten- sive with New Orleans. The negroes form one-third of the populetion of the entire south and 48.6 per cent. of them are reckoned among bread winners, as against 46.9 per cent. of the southern -whites, but these figures apparently in favor of the southern black men are ac- counted for by the prevalence of female labor among the negroes. Among fe- males at least ten years of age, 4.7 per cent. of the negroes and only 11.8.per cent. of the southern whifes report money-getting occupations. Fur Animals Slaughtered, The wealth of Russia in furs is be- ing rapidly It is reported that in a certain of the Yenasei government, where 50 years ago hunt- ers annually shot 28,000 sable,: 6,000 bears, 2,000 foxes, 14,000 biue 300,000 squ! 5,000 wolves and 200,- 000 hares, hardly a sable can be found to-day. The blame is laid to the wanton destruction of wild animals in the course of the hunting expeditions. No steps seem to have been taken to put a stop to this, foxes,| the west of New England cdlleges is | Observations of the Prophets Compiled by the Clerk of the Weather Bureau. | Recently the United States weather | bureau compiled a list of the more common weather adages. From this the following examples are taken: “When bees remain in their hives or fly but a short distance expect rain.” “Men work better, eat more and sleep sounder when the barometer is high.” “Do business with men when the wind is from the westerly, for then the barometer is high.” “In summer, when the sun burns more than usual, expect thunder- storms.” “If the temperature increases be- tween nine p. m. and midnight when the sky is cloudless expect rain, and if during a long and severe period of low temperature the temperature in- creases between midnight and morn- ing expect a thaw.” “SA red sun has water in his eyes.” “A piece of seaweed hung up will become damp previous to rain.” “A neicg fog indicates fair weath- er; if the fog settles down expect rain.” “Hoar frost indicates rain.” “The larger the halo about the moon the nearer the rain clouds and the sooner the rain may be expected.” “Snakes show themselves on the ap- proach of rain.” “Human hair (red) curls and kinks at the approach of a storm and re- straightens after the storm.” “When a cat washes *hersel? good weather may be expected, but if she licks her coat against the grain bad weather is indicated, or if she washes her face over her ears or sits with her tail to the fire.” “When the birds cease to sing rain and thunder will probably come.” “Pigeons return home unusually early before rain,” “When fish bite readily and swim near the surface rain may be ex- pected.” “A bee was never caught shower,” “When flies bite greedily expect rain,” “Cottonwood and quaking asp trees turn up their leaves before rain.” “When the leaves of trees curl with the wind from the south it indicates rain,” “When the sun draws water rain follows soon.” “Red skies in the evening precede fine to-morrows.” in & GOOD EXCUSE FOR STEALING. Man Who Stole Rulers Only Took Measures to Make His Yardstick, It was in a little new town in a far western mining settlement. A man was on trial for a very’ seri- ous offense, relaies the Baltimore American. But let us go back a little. Ever since the town of Ballbat had been established there had been trou- ble about landslides, A man wouid locate a claim one day, and that night a little shower would dislocate it. ‘ Many a man’s little all was ruined through dislocation of the claim. Owing to the scarcity of timber it was difficult to secure stakes with which to fasien the lots in place so as to be sure chat when the owners thereof arose next morning the land would be where it had been the night before. One citizen who had considerable experience as a cowboy picketed his kitchen garden half the summer, and had a crop almost raised. ° But one day his little boy, who was. mischievous, cut tiie lariat, and before it could be headed off the garden had run over a crowd of people half a mile down the street, And one lady's ‘new dress was so saturated with onions that she sued the owner for damages. But late in the summer a new store had been established in the village. One of the things kept in stock was a lot of foot rulers to be given away as advertisements, One moming the entire stock, con- sisting of several thousand rulers, was found to be missing. A vigilance committee was formed and a careful search instituted. At length the rulers were found in the house of a prominent citizen. It was up to him, And hence the trial with which our story begins. : The evidence was conclusive. However, the judge was merciful and’ let him go on condition that he would ‘restore the property. “For,” said the judgé@, “it is shown clearly that the man wanted to use the rulers to keep his lawn and garden in position, so that it would not run around of nights.’ Thefefore, it. is plain that in stealing these he was only taking measures to make his yard-stick.” : - $ ' Whereupon the mob released the prisoner and hung up the judge, Western Students in the East. ‘The falling away of patronage from emphasized in the statistics of en- trance examination held this year un- der the direction ‘of the college; en- Huntington, W. Va., Nov. 13 — Fayette county today is in a state of terror as the result of the killing of three men Wednesday and Thure- day. Constable W. A. Jackson was shot and killed by Policeman Will Elliott. Two brothers of Jackson started out after the killing of their brother with the intention of clean- ing out the town of Motgomery. Sherriff Daniels approached Harvy Jackson to tell him that he had bat- ter leave town, when Jackson pulled out his revolver and fired two loads of lead into the sheriff, killing him. John Rolf, a prominent citizen, went to ald Daniels and he, too, was killed by Harvey Jackson. Another brother is with Harvey Jackson in the fountains, and a posse fs in pursuit. John Wasn’t So sure. From the Louisville Courier-Jourual, Sir Lauder Brunton, the noted physician was talking about nervous ‘ ill temper at a receptién that was given in his honor by the medical club of Philadelphia. After he had described the ben- eficent effect of certain drugs upon nervous ill temper, Dr. Brunton said: “Til temper of the nervous sort is worthy of serious consideration. It makes lives unhappy. | remember a middle-aged woman of most nerv ous disposition who told me with tears in her eyes how she had once said to her husband: “Jobn, 1 know I'm crose at times. {1 know you find me unkind often. Sometimes, per- haps, you think Ido not love you But, John, remember, when such un- happy thoughts asaail you, that, if I had my life to live again, I’d@marry you just the same. “I’m not so sure of that,” John anewered. Kidnapers are Defeated. Cripple Creek, Colo., Nov. 12— Sheriff Edward Bell frustrated an attempted deportation of Frank’ P. Mannix, County Clerk and Recorder, @ democrat, today. Mannix had been marched a mile and a half from town by three men, when the party was overtaken by the Sheriff and a posse. Mannix was released and William Carruthers, Carl Evans and E. E. Cornelison were arrested on a charge of kidnaping. They furnished bonds of $500 each. Carruthers is the general freight agent of the Cripple Creek Central Railroad, and for several years was deputy uoder County Recorder Man- nix. The other two men arrested ereminers. Theri friends say thut the affair was iutended to be a joke, but Democrats allege that a pict had been hatched to get Mannix cut of the way, and tamper with the bal- lots, which are in his custody. j eee tte ler, in Bates county, Missouri, = the’ thus shortening oye ordeal is robbed gt ite danger lessened to ’ The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has been in use for over 30 years, has borne the signature of and has been made under his per- sonal supervision since its infancy. fe Allow no one to deceive you in this.
