Beef is more difficult to roast suc- cessfully in small sizes than either pork, lamb or veal. Sometimes it is possible to get a tender chunk which is not the tenderloin. ‘This latter cut is apt to be dry as it has not the fat to keep dripping over the sides and permeating through the meat as is desirable. Get the butcher to tie or skewer a strip of best beef fat on top of the chunk of tenderioin, if this is selected. Or see that the chunk or rump or other good cut of roasting beef has a layer of fat on one side. Keep this side up with care when the beef is roasting. Have the oven very hot, 450 degrees, when the meat goes in. After 10 minutes re- duce the heat somewhat. Continue to cook uncovered and without basting until the meat is done. Rare beef should be done with a time allowance of 10 minutes to the pound. ‘When a roast is not entirely eaten at the first meal it can be served cold for another dinner, supper or luncheon in households where cold meat is well- liked, as is often found the case. Lit- tle hunks of the meat of one kind or more can be browned in a pan having very hot butter in it or any good but- ter substitute. Remove the meat pileces when they are browned on all sides. Add more butter and in it fry a good sized onion. Remove pieces when browned. Add one tablespoonful flour and brown in the fat without scorching it, which ruins the flavor. Add three-fourths cupful of soup stock, or water, or strained tomato juice, stir- ring rapidly until thickened, season with salt, pepper and celery salt. Re- turn meat and onion. Cover the pan and simmer slowly for 15 minutes. Rim a platter or other flat serving dish with mashed potato roses or un- even spoonfuls of mashed potato. Brush the top with white of egg. Put under gas flame just long enough to brown the top delicately. Fill the center of platter with the prepared meat. Dot the surface with little sprigs of parsiey and serve immediately. is is a deli- cious preparation of left-over bits of meat. (Copyright, 1932.) .

PTER people in Western Europe learned to rub glass globes and obtain electric shocks, “interest grew in the subject. Men in many places tried to find out new things about the “magic power.” An Englishman named Stephen Gray wanted to learn w{xhexther o{ hElmt e]ec-H would ough body of g2 befg, and made this odd person boy’s hands and received a shock!

In ordinary cases, electricity whi enters the body of a will be “groundpd.” In other words, it will pass to earth. The use of silk to hold persons free in the air, prevented the grounding of the electricity. An old picture shows “the jig of the dancing jacks” A boy and a girl, dressed in the quaint fashion of their time, are holding two pans, one just under the other. With one hand the girl touches an iron rod which is part of an oldtime electric machine. The current is supposed to be passing from ich the rod through the body of the girl to the pan which she holds in her other hand. | In the pan held by the boy are bits of glass which form the ‘“dancing jacks.” ~They fly up and down—or “dance”—when the current passes from the pan in the girl's hand to the pan which the boy holds out. Amusing themselves with these odd tests, men and women kept learning more and more about the great power of electricity. THIS STORY MAY BE USED AS A ‘TOPIC IN “SCIENCE.” UNCLE RAY.

The loss of a child’s con- fidence costs the child dearly and makes no happiness for the one who was responsible. Christmas was drawing near and little Harry was excited. He got into all kinds of mischief. He discovered new ways of being troublesome. New ways of getting into danger. Altogether he rode on the consciousness of his family day and night until his mother lost all patience and said: “Listen to me, young man. You've gone just far enough. Another such exhibition as this and you get nothing for Christ- mas. Not a thing. Santa Claus will not_come to a bad boy like you.” Harry seemed to consider this for a time and his mother thought she had made an impression upon his mind and that he would behave a little better. But she changed her mind about all that when the cook brought Harry into her presence and charged him with breaking every egg in the pantry and smearing the place with the mess. “Just for fun, I did it,” said he. “Very well. You get nothing for Christmas.” But when Christmas morn- ing came all the presents were ready and Harry enjoyed them to the full Neither he nor his mother mentioned the threat about bad boys and Santa laus, By and by his birthday approached | and he began the same wild antics. | “Now look here, young man. If you | don’t behave yourself youll get noth- | ing for your birthday.” Harry forgot all caution. “Huh. You said that about last birthday and I got | all my presents. And you said it at Christmas and I got them, too. Il | get them just the same.” ‘Well, that time his mother held out and he got no presents. A sad little boy went to bed that birthday night; and a sadder mother and Threats are promises and if you make them you have to keep them or have a very good reason for not doing so— one that the child will accept as true. “Be a good boy, Daniel, and go to the dentist and have that shaky tooth taken out and I'll take you to the circus,” said Aunt Minnie. “Don’t believe her, Dan. She told me that and never took me,” said | Hortense, looking up from her doll's carriage toward her guilty sunt. . Tt is better to be slow at promising | good or ill. Before the event can hap- | pen there are so many things likely to interfere, so many chances for change Moods and circumstances and time work away from today and toward tomorrow which alters many things and makes promises and threats risky. Anyway a surprise is better than a promised treat. And threats are better left out of things.

No woman's idea of a happy evening is to pass it with a man who has retired behind the evening paper and who only grunts when she asks him a question, and who by no device can be drawn into a real human con- versation. Nor can any woman keep from feeling like screaming ifgshe is united to a man whose one unending topic of conversation is himself, and how great and wonderful he is, or who tells the same stories over and over again until she could repeat them backward in her sleep. Unfortunately many women and many men are married to perfectly good husbands and wives who are models of all the virtues, but wko are dull and tiresome and tedious and who bore them to extinction. Perhaps Lr:exr si.:f'lermg is greater than that of those who are married to entertain- g villains, O all that is left the unfortunates who are married to bores is just to find some interest outside of their own homes. For the evenings they must spend at their own firesides, reading is an ever-present resource. You can find all the good company you wish between the covers of & book. And you can always turn on the radio. That will fill the gaps of silence and shout down the garrulous. But in marriage the ounce of prevention is always worth the pound of cure, and so I urge all youths and maidens contemplating matrimony to put more stress on the companionable qualities of those they are picking out to spend the remainder of their lives with than on any other one thing. No human agency can teach a man or woman how to be a responsive companion. The ability to talk and to be entertaining is a gift of Nature. IF I were a man going a-courting, the first thing I would notice would be the line of conversation the girl carried. If she couldn't start topics herself; if she dian't read and think, and didn’t know what was going on in the world and have lively opinions of her own: if she couldn’t catch & joke on the fly and didn’t get the subtle points of a story, why, it would be good night for me, and she would never see me more. If I were a girl and had to work like a cal heaver to entertain a boy; if I had to pry him out of silences, and if he didn't have any interest in anything but the sports page and the comic strip, I would gently waft him into the outer air. For I would know that I would yawn myself to death if I married him, and being bored is such a long and lingering and painful way to die. DOROTHY DIX. PR EAR MISS DIX—I agree with your theory that a girl might keep a boy jealous, but only to a certain extent. It is all right some time, but not all the time. I and a lot of other boys would like to know what you think of this. JACK. Answer: You've got me wrong, Jack, if you think that T advocate jealousy in any way, shape or form. Nothing is farther from my thought. I don't think that jealousy is an indication of love. I think it is the enemy of love and that any girl who deliberately rouses the green-eyed monster in a man’s breast deserves what she generelly gets. and that is to be forsaken for some other girl in whom he has more faith and who is surer of her sentiments. PERH.APS you are jealous of your girl friend without cause. If you are engaged to her and the wedding day is in sight, you have a right to expect her to devote all of her time and attention to you, and not to go out with other dates unless you approve. But if you are not engaged to the girl and are merely, as the phrase goes, “keeping company,” you have no right to assume a proprietary air over her and get peeved every time she steps out with another boy. Try to look at this matter fairly and see it from the girl's point of view. You know that, generally speaking. the only chance a girl has to marry is when she is young and fresh and pretty. Oeccasionally an old maid gets a good husband, but it is an exception, and the chances are that if a girl doesn’t marry before she is 30, she will not marry at all. Most girls marry between the ages of 18 and 22 or 23. JOW suppose you monopolize & girl while she is at her most attractive age and most likely to make a good marriage. You keep all the other men away. You prevent her from marrying some man who could give her a good home and take care of her, but you have no intention whatever of marrying her yourself, and finally, when you have tired of her and she is not quite such a good looker as she used to be, you simply kiss and ride away. And that ends it so far as the girl is concerned. Now don't you see what an idiot a girl is to fall for such an unequal bargain? Don't you see that if she has any intelligence at all she will not tie herself down to one man until he mentions wedding rings? Don't you see why she should go arcund with a number of boys, and keep the door open for eligibles, so to speak? And don't you see why no boy has a right to be jealous under the circumstances?
