THREE RACE LEADERS GONE On last week the sad news was telegraphed over the country announcing the death of three valuable and distinguished leaders of the African race viz: S.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN Last week our public schools opened and id other states they open this week, and next week most all the colleges and universities will have opened their fall seamester and it does seem to me that every father and mother should strive to have their children enter the very first day and keep them in these schools regularly. Tell them of the future advantages of a thorough education, tell them to strive to excel in their class study and some day this old bias America may recognize merit; ability and worth rather then the color of a man's skin. Parents, keep your children in school by all means. A good education is rather to be chosen then riches. Des Moines Girl Appointed MISS LETTA CARY, A.

Charles Mitchell, a Polish miner who lost his legs in a West Virginia mine several months ago, came here tho other day to get a pair of artificial legs.

Solfeitor (in the West London Coun- ty Court, to debtor)— “What are you earning now?" Debtor—"Nothing.~ His Honor—"Ar you living on the moon?” Debtor—"No; on my wife.” His Honor—“Ten Days.’ \ concise Explanation. A young policeman glving evidence tn a London burglary caso was 80 ox- cited that he aceldentally sald: “Please, your worship, I was the only person presenti the house except ‘another constable, who’ was outside.” Has Man of the House Right to Discharge Cook? 4or Can Domestic, Told by Wife te ‘StIck to Her Post, Hold the Fort?— Matter of Some Moment ‘4s Sesbaadni Our sympathy goes out to T. R- Dunkerly of Tacoma. ‘This free-born ‘American citizen finds st impossible, ‘even with the help of the courts, to rid himself of his cook, though, ac cording to his allegations, her bread fo “like bricks and her biscuits lke stones.” When he attempted to put the cook out of the house she “threat- ‘ened btm,” and as he was a small per- fon It became necessary for him to ‘appeal to the law, When the constable arrived with the avarrant the cook ad- mitted that she had refused to leave, but sald that she had been hired by Mrs. Dunkerley, who was away from home, but had ordered her not to leave under any circumstances. ‘The case 1s one of plainly confilct- Ing Jurisdiction, There seems to de fa twilight zone within which positive faction, at least by the husband, ts im- possible, As a rule, the wife employs the servants, But whether she 1s in the legal sense the employer ts doubt- ful. As a rule, the one who pays the wages ts the employer. If this rule holds in domestic affairs, and if Mr. Dunkerly was tn truth the paymaster, ft would scom as though it were for him to say whether the cook should 0 or stuy. Yet the case Is not free from com- plexity, To Insist on the rule in its strictness would be to make the wife the mere agent of the husband, whlck of course, Is not, In these days, to be thought of. ‘There are those who will argue that when a man gives his wife money with which to run the house the money Is hers. On that theory she would be the employer. But it ts not necessary to take this extreme view. Wo may hold that all the mon- ey earned or poseessed by elther hus- band or wife belongs to both, and that the money which was paid to this cook was; when It was pald, the property of Mrs, Dunkerley. At least ft was as much the wife’s as tt was the husband's, As {t was part of her duty, as representative of the family, to hire the cook, and as she may be held to have pala her wages and to have been the employer, one may fairly conclude that Dunkerley was a mere Interloper in his own home. But the case fs a sad one, and there fre, of course, many who will take the other view than that here elaborated. It {8 hard to hgve to eat bread lke bricks and biscults like stones. There ought to be some redress besides re- sort to the tavern, especialfy when one feels that one is paying for bread and biscuit that are not like bricks and stones.

Thanks to the fair and broad-minded stand taken by President W. P. Moley of the hospital and health board, and Health Commissioner W. S. Wheeler, negro internes will be retained at the old city hospital in Kansas City, which was remodeled at the expense of $15,000 and turned over to the old citizens of Kansas City last year. The hospital has a visiting staff of color and white physicians and surgeons, and although known as a colored institution, an effort was made to displace negro internes by white ones. The Savannah (Ga.) Tribune has plugged away for nearly 27 years to help carry the negro's colossal burdens, and has been rewarded with a handsome two-story brick building of own, and expansion from a two-story home print eight page paper to four-page home print eight-page paper. We hope some day to see it an all-home print semi-weekly or daily. Rev. George E. Nolley of Macon, Ga., has received from Central City college in that the degree of "Doctor of Diritty." Our sympathies go out to the people of Haiti in the latest caimanty that has befallen them. The national palace was destroyed by a gunpowder explosion, when President Chinatman Le Conte and many palace attendants were killed and some 400 people were injured. It appears that President Le Conte had explosives and arms in the cellars of the palace to be in readiness for a war with his neighbor, Santo Domingo, just across the border, which it was expected, would break out at any moment. The belief is general that an enemy of the president set a slow rush of the magazine, and thus got rid of the magazine, the national palace and the precious magazine in one grand explosion. The presidents of Hatti have a hard time to get the office, and a harder time to keep it. Most of them die with their boots on, by the act of an assassin, some flee from mob soldier wrath and die in exile, often in poverty, and some are blown up. It does not appear by the record to be a very desirable job to have, and yet there is always a long line of men waiting to be killed. In the call of the presidents of Hatti during the past century reads as solemnly and mournfully as "The Death March in Snul." Already there are plots and rumors of revolution all the way from Port-au-Prince to Paris, by way of St. Thomas and Jamaica by men ambitious to succeed President Le Conte. There is no hope for the future and stability of Hatti while it is governed by revolution and the impulse to revolution. It needs peaceful administration in order to develop a strong field of education and forest, and to educate its children at home instead of in France for the work of construction at home. Can it have such administration and education? We hope so, but there is nothing in the history of Hatti to justify the hope—New York Age. The Charleston (S. C.)

This excellent weekly newspaper has been doing what it could to champion the cause of the oppressed in our country over many years. Like old wine it is constantly improving with age. In many Negro settlements the mouths of some Negro preachers can be heard along the highways during weekdays like fog-horns on ocean tramps. Men of this profession who make a practice of hanging around postoffices and grocery stores all day engaging in wordy arguments are a blackening disgrace to our people. The examples are bad before the young men. How can they muster the nerve to preach against loafing and vagrancy than loafers? Ministers are expected to greet people pleasantly on the highway and to enjoy a few moments of pleasant chat together when meeting with one another. It is not against this I raise a protest. I am protesting against preachers congregating on corners and in front of public places for long-drawn out blatant, verbal contentions and hee-haw story telling which many of them indulge in out before the public for hours at a time. The conduct is void of ministerial dignity and lacks self-respect. Can they find a more beneficial way to occupy their spare time so that their actions before the young will speak louder than their words? The death of Dr. R. F. Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., removes from our professional ranks one of the most succesful business and business men of the country. In this great cooperation called life, the elements that are educational are those 'that carry the least rewards. The school teacher works for the poorest pay—brother to the writer, the reporter, the editor and the magazine—all on meager pay. Now and then a best seller is exploited, in some way catches the public eye and enriches a person here and there, but the great rank and file of this army are in moderate circumstances. The country editors may not be rich, but how brave they are in little communities, defying the rich, defying the wealthy, defying their creditors. I know and adored the magazine, a building said: "I shall foreclose this mortgage and you shall print your rag in the street"; and the little man said: "Very well, I will print it there." And many a little editor, some village Hampton, has done the same—Dou Seitz, Business Manager New York World. Although he is running a $50,000 colored theater to make money, M. A. N.

GOOD ROADS BRING UP RUN-DOWN ROADS Too Little is Being Taught of Funda- mental Principles Should Begin at Very Bottom. At Very Bottom. There has been a good deal said in the various farm papers and in the institute bulletins about high road-making, and at the institute meetings also. The institute meetings and farm meetings, and how to bring up run-down farms, and maintain them, our herds, our flocks, etc., writes C. E. Haskins in Hoard's Dairyman. But there is nothing said in regard to the fundamental principles, i.e. l. commencing at the bottom of the farm, bringing it to proper grade to use a dryer. Now, I would take a road that is not sandy, and is dishing in the middle; I would get the center and grade and then I would commence in the middle and plow lightly the first two or three rounds, and go a little deeper until I got the usual depth of plowing, and plow the width of 30 feet cross slope, and plow the width of 30 feet cross slope, the spring as possible and let it until the last of May or first of June, if it was sod. But in the meantime, I would run a fair heft road drag over it occasionally until the last of May or first of June, to mellow it up into dirt. Then I would commence outside of the wheel track (providing the travel was in the center of the road) and Plow again as far as before, and then keep the road drag in use after every stop. You will have as nicely a stationally. You will have as nicely a cross slope as you could ask for, and cheaper than any other method. Our farmers' institutes are doing a great work in our great state of Wisconsin, which I have no fault to find with in any respect. But our roads ought to be first on the list, for we are at a place where we have got to have practical men along this line. We are not going to have rock roads all at once, because our state is not in need of them. We are going to us to build rock roads in one year, not in ten. So I saw we ought to have the A, B, C's taught at our farmers' institutes, and through our farm papers along with our high road making. IMPROVEMENT OF THE HORSE One of Best Methode to Encourage Interest is Organization of "Colt Shows" in Fall. (BY W. H. TOMSHAVE) Nearly every person, whether living in the city, village or country, takes more or less interest in the horse. It is easy to get an audience when it comes to studying horses, be it at a county fair, farmers' institute, or livestock meeting of any kind. We all have our favorites among the horses and we are ready to express our opinion as to the merits and demiestals of the individuals. Such interest should be encouraged in every community, and one of the best ways of doing it is to hold "colt shows" during the fall and winter months. In the state of Iowa, a number of these shows have been held during the past few years; and they have done much to improve the horses in the state. In planning these shows, the first step is to solicit, among the farmers, stallion owners and business men, for prizes that are to be awarded. These need not be in the form of money, but may be merchandise, machinery, or live stock of some kind. After the prizes have been assured it will be necessary to advertise the show and appoint a committee, who should make a personal canvass of the community, to encourage the owners of colts to bring them out for the contest. Proper classification should be made; so that all colts, such as draft and light colts, will not be shown in the same class. Also, have pure-bred and light colts grown in separate classes. If possible it is a good plan to have the colts from each township show in separate classes, and the first prize winners come together as champions of the show. The colt shows may be held in connection with local market days, or live stock meetings of some kind. Outside uninterested parties should be secured to do the judging; and they should in each case give reasons for placing the colts. After the judging is done, practical talks on horse breeding, by local men and those secured to do the judging, will be shown. Colt shows of this kind will also do much to advertise the stallions in a community. One of the best ways of judging the value of a stallion is by the crop of colts which he has sired. Killing Trees. Peeling trees in the late summer will kill them. The stumps can easily be removed with a stump puller or if the ground is cultivated around them they will rot in time. They may be destroyed by fire or blasted with a small can of dynamite. Spruce can be cut off the trunk or the branches continually cutting them under the surface with a mattook and by steady cultivation. Money In Dairying. For the farmer who will milk 20 good cows, produce the feed on the farm and do the work himself, there is "good money" in the farm dairy. In this business he makes his own milk, himself, employ him and his family at good wages to do the work, and removes little fertility from the farm. Test the Milk. Have your cow's milk tested and see their color and new star board in the head. ROAD DRAG IS USEFUL Proven Success Everywhere, When Used After Rains. Implement is of Particular Value In Rounding Up Crown and Filling in Ruts—Harrow Makes Excellent Substitute. The road drag has proved a success everywhere when used after rains to round up the crown and fill the ruts. This does not mean that the crown should be so sharp as to slant the wagon unduly, for as the road is not to be neglected, but cheap for too sharp, it is no need for too sharp an elevation. We shall soon be hauling an immense tonnage to market, and I believe the drag should be used whether it rains or not, to keep the roads in shape, or we shall again, unless there are frequent rains, which seldom occur in the fall, have deep cuts all across the traveled surface which are so close they cannot be avoided, says a writer in the Denver Weekly Post. When we start hauling we follow a course, which we then be cornered deeply rutted and we straddle those ruts, continuing whilst any surface is left which is at all solid. The great loads cut deeper and deeper, forcing the dirt higher and higher at the side of the road where it dries out, becoming pliable and looses. In fact, the road begins to present the pearance of a badly plowed field which has not known the harrow. The escape of moisture leaves the soil particles without a film of water around them to bind them together, and there is a more of less complete break up of the road surface. In the pitch of a rut which filler, which is obvious, to which I wish to draw attention as to its use as an agent to retain some moisture which will bind the road and give it resistance to the wheels, just as harrowing a field or race track works for in either case. It is the dust mulch on top that preserves the lower levels from air spaces and breaks up. Teams and teamsters will follow the lines of least resistance, and how often the road runs round where once was wet spot on a sharp curve for months cause the erstwhile mumu to lie the rough and broken way. Where these rough spots are short, team returns with empty wagons can easily straighten out the road, but they seldom do so. If the road be dragged occasionally, perhaps we cannot entirely prevent the formation of rut, but when the first ones are straddled the old ones will be filled, and soon we can travel both tracks, alternating at the same time, forming a most solid comb to the road by the rolling of the wheels. A wagon wheel, on account of its small size, dropping off a hard onto a soft spot, naturally makes cracks, whilst a road drag, whilst it may not fill all the holes if there is not enough loose dirt, produces long undulations which not to tend to cut out day by day we shall have and worse. Sometimes we shall have to fall in the fall even if we drag because our road material is not equal to resisting the loads placed upon it but the road cannot become so bad as it does when no attention what ever is given to leveling it and keeping it compact. Where no drag is available, a harrow, with the teeth stunted, will work a very great im provement, and it can be cheaply appl. GOOD BUILDING FOR POULTRY House Should be About Seven Feet High in Front and Face the South —Cement Floor is Best. In reply to a query the Wisconsin agriculturist gives the following plans for a poultry house: "A poultry house in order to be convenient should be built fourteen or sixteen feet wide and as long as is necessary to accommodate the number of fowls you wish to keep. It should be about seven feet high in front and high enough in the rear to give it enough slope to the roof. Build it close to the ground and have it face the south or southeast. Have it cated on a rise of ground. Have it drainage from the house. Furnish up the floor with cinders or grave and put in a cement floor in the whole house upon which you can keep two or three inches of fresh sandy loam. Have the windows to the south and east and the roosting closets in the farthest portion of the pens away from the windows. Divide the house into pens about eight or ten feet wide. A good method of building a poultry house is to make one pen with a cement floor eight feet wide in the rear of which is a tight roosting closet and next to this have a scratching shed ten feet wide or two feet wide or except a dirt floor and have the house entirely open in front. Provide a heavy curtain which can be let down in stormy weather to keep out the rain and snow. By building two laying and roosting rooms together and a scratching shed on each end, and then adding similar sections you can keep as many fowls as you choose and keep them cared for especially if you make an entrance in the rear, or you can enter each pen and scratching shed by providing a door which swings both ways. Feed for Pigs. Green feed for pigs acts like pasture for dairy cows and fattening steers. It is and is nearly as satisfactory. It is an economy. Second Crop Potatoes. For second crop potatoes it is advisable to use cold storage potatoes and not rely on local stock grown this season. Cut large potatoes for seed rather than use small ones whole. The use of 300 to 400 pounds of acid phosphate and kaint mix should greatly help the yield. Irish Cobber is not common, but good potato for use. It is good potato, but it is always advisable to consult neighbors who have been growing second crop of potatoes, and plant some of the varieties they are using. PANTHERS SLAY COW PANTHERS SLAY COW BEASTS CAUSE A SCARE IN OLD PENNSYLVANIA. State Rangers Find Many Indications of Their Presence, Including Signs of Attacks That Had Been Made on Bears. Williamsport, Pa.—The panther scare that has laid hold on the Pine Creek region and which began a month ago when Abbey Highwood of Lucullus found a cow and two hefters claim in the woods has been intensified by a discovery made by a state forest ranger, M. E. Westcott of State forest during an inspection trip over his range. At a point about two miles up State Run his attention was attracted by the torn up condition of the ground leading to the edge of a steep bare embankment, and a trail could be very easily discerned in the clay soil of the embankment/ itself, showing that something or somebody engaging in a desperate struggle had gone down over the embankment. Westcott followed out his discovery, fearing that perhaps some luckless trout fisherman had been attacked by a bear or a catamount and had met death at the foot of the embankment. Westcott wasn't long finding dence at the bottom of the embankment to show what had taken place on the ground was terribly torn up and so fresh that he concluded that the battle must have taken place that day. Great patches of long black animal hair to which in some instances torn flesh adhered were found upon the ground. The brush was disturbed for yards around, and spiotes of blood were found. The hair was evidently that of a black bear, and that the animal had been attacked by a panther there wasn't must doubt, for no other creature native to the Pine Creek region would tackle a full grown black bear. The animal was sitting atop the ledge, for a subsequent examination showed the excorated bark of a tree from which the panther evidently had made its initial leap upon the unsuspecting bear as the latter passed beneath. The distance the fighting animals rolled was about 30 feet, and the way the ground was torn up at the foot of the bank showed the fight had continued for some time. Westcott made a thorough search of the area, expecting to find the carcass of the bear, but was unable to do so, and he concluded that bruin at last got the better of the fight and drove the panther off. The proved presence of a panther in the Pine Creek and Black Forest region has created the wildest sort of interest among all the settlers of those parts, and the latest find, showing the desperation of the creature in tackling a bear, has added to the natural trepidation. Samuel Lebo of Lucullus, a ranger whose district lies in the very heart of the black bear country, and embraces some of the wildest territory of any owned by the state, has equipped himself partially for action if he comes in sight of the panther. The theory is that if there is one panther there are more, so that over the vast stretch of range throughout McHenry and Brown townships in Lycoming county and in Gallagher township in Clinton county the closest watch is being kept for these destructive animals. NEW JERSEY CASTLE ROBBED Jewels Stolen From House Bulk Like Medieval Jewels and Guard- and Guard- By Bulldog Belleville, N. J.—If you had built your house like a mediaeval dungeon, with iron doors and bars at the windows; if you had stationed three ferocious bulldogs to guard it as the fairy-tale kings guarded their princess daughters; if you had put all your family jewelry in two boxes, a closet and then locked that, and then—THEN found, when you went to look for these jewels, that they were GONE! what would you think of the saying that a "man's house is his case?" Well, it happens in this instance that the castle was built by a woman, so there's an end to that puzzle. The woman was a man, a man of a brick avenue. She is a widow and with her daughter. Two years ago Mrs. Lewin built a house like the one described. She has always had a shivering fear of thieves, so she had an iron door, with bars behind the window, put in the front entrance; corralled three of the fiercest bulldogs she could find, of the sort that cartoonists portray in the act of tearing triangular patches from the seats of plee-skewing hobos' breeches; locked up her jewels in two boxes, one within the other, and locked these in a closet. She called came to the house and Mrs. Lewin said she would like to show her the "sparklers." She went to the closet, unlocked it, got out the boxes, unlocked them and fainted. The jewels were gone. There is not a mark on the house to show that it was broken into, no servant girl has left precipitately, no ghost has gronaded on the premises. Mrs. Lewin searched and ransacked the dwelling for two days and then reported the theft to the police, to which he is issuing heirlooms are ring with 16 diamonds, a scarf with 33 diamonds and a number of other jewels. $2,500,000 for a Laborer Bangor. Me.-That he is one of nine heirs to the $2,000,000 estate of his great-grandfather, David Evens, who died some years ago in Wales, is the news just received by George Yeamens of 49 Pendleton street, Brewer, Me, a woodsman for the Great Northern Paper company. The estate is to be settled in October. Yeamens is forty-five years old and has worked in the Maine woods all his life. He is married and has four children and a comfortable home in Brewer. CAMP BEAR ON SPREE FOUR-LEGED DOMESTIC TRANS FORMED INTO MISCREANT. Taught to Drink by Men of the Camp He Took to Going Out for a "Good Time!" - Run Over by Train. Bangor. Maine. - Reddy, the lumber camp bear of Reddington, is dead, gone to a drunkard's grave. Four years ago Reddy was found, whining and shivering, a friendless orphan bear, in the woods near Brad champ, and camped in by some of the champs. His mother had been killed and his brothers had been taken away by the hunters, who had over locked him. It was pretty near the end of the season at Bradshaw's. The cook, Peter St. Plere, adopted him and later took him to his home, a few miles away. Peter had a wife, but no children, and Reddy got all the attention and petting that Peter would have bestowed upon a son. Next seas when Peter took him to camp, he was the best educated bear in all Maine. What Reddy couldn't do in the line of clever tricks wasn't worth mentioning, and Peter declared that he was a great help to him. Reddy would sour pots and pans, go out and fetch chips for kindling, make up the men's bunks, tidy up the camp, help clear off the table, and early on frost mornings would go out and uncover the fire. He would do it and fetch in the steaming pot. He saved Peter a good many steps and much labor. At first Reddy used to sit up at the table with the men and eat, and visitors said his table manners were perfect, except that he always lapped his tin plate clean after eating flapjackes and molasses. He drank coffee from a tin dipper like the rest and used to eat the table when he wanted more. But when the crew was increased in numbers Peter needed Reddy's help as waiter, and after that he was made to carry food to the men and dined at the second table with Peter. He could play seven-up and other simple card games, and, under the tutelage of Jack Rafferty, he became a fine dancer, and joked with his f舞er, and the first squeak of Peter St. Pierre's fiddle would wake him out of a sound sleep and set him going. Educated in many useful arts, faithful and industrious, companionable and sweet-tempered. Reddy became loved and famous all through northern Maine. Many tempting offers were made for him by rich afterwards, after his impressions, but gold could not buy him away. But Reddy's life was ruined by the demon rum. One Christmas eve some Banger sportmen came to Bradshaw's camp for a night's lodging, bringing liquor with them. As a joke Reddy was invited to take a little whisky. No one thought he would drink the stuff, but he did, and whimpered for more. After all hands had gone to sleep Reddy got up and applied to bottle, and out and uncover the bean hole he was stretched out on the camp floor, snging like a volcano. Reddy was drunk. From that day Reddy was a changed bear. He was cross and lazy. He became a vagabond, stealing away from camp at every opportunity and being absent for days at a time. Finally it was discovered that Reddy was being entertained by men at a hotel six miles away. They gave him all the whisky he wanted. He danced and danced or performed some of his many clever tricks. The hotel-keeper offered St. Pierre $200 for him. The end came after one of Reddy's debaubles at the Umbajueh House. In a foozed condition he started for home. Had he been sober he would have gone straight across the country, making the distance about six miles, but with his head all awhirl he was afraid he might not find his way, so he followed the railroad track, where the going would be easier and the journey safer, if longer. It would have been all right at that had Reddy not fallen asleep on the track. The night train came along and killed him. He was buried with honors in the presence of many mourners. BUYS THE BOTTOM OF A BAY Hartford, Conn, Man Finds His Sup posed Woman, Who is Guarded by, Bastillean. Bremerton, Wash.—When E. A. Fuller, a tobacco importor of Bremerton, Conn., receives a letter from a realty company of this city he will learn that his Western ranch of 160 acres is guarded from marauding Indians by a fleet of Uncle Sam's war vessels, which are anchored some ten fathoms above it at low tide. Fuller wrote to the realty company, to whom he had been referred by Bradstreet's, asking for information about his farm, which he located accurately by range, township and section. Investigation showed "the farm" lies at the bottom of the bay between Fort Orchard and Bremerton, where Pacific reserve fleet is lying at anchor. Fuller did not state how he came into possession of the farm. He asked for information relative to its value, also the probability of finding a customer for it, as he desired to sell. So far the realty man has found no purchaser. Victoria's Stockings Sold. London...Among the royal relics sold recently at Manor House, near Harrogate, were a pair of silk stockings said to have been worn by Queen Victoria on her wedding day and a pair of silk blossom from her bridal wreath.

The silk blossom, garter, and shoes worn by Pauline Bonaparte, son of Napoleon. ```markdown ``` HOLD BE KEPT. SEPARATELY AFTER HOME RENDERING. warm Housewives Have Good Meth d With Wish Suet—Old-Fashioned Manner of Clarifying Fat From the Soup Kettle. Fats that are derived from the cooking of bacon, ham, chicken, beef and other meats should be kept, each in its own receptacle, to be used for different purposes. Home rendering of both suet and leaf lard has its advantages, because the product is generally superior to what can be bought for the same price. Both suet and leaf lard require cooking in order to loosen the fat from the tough membrane that holds it. For this purpose the material is cut in small pieces and covered with water to make slowly some time until no more water remains and the scrap has turned to a light brown. A better method for suet is that used by German housewives, who economize on butter by the use of beef fat more than do American housekeepers. The suet is cut in small pieces and covered with water, in which it is allowed to soak for a day, and then chilled in the time. It is then drained and put into an iron kettle with one-half tea cup of skim milk to every pound of the suet. It should be cooked very slowly. When it has partly cooked it should be carefully poured off. This fat has no unpleasant taste or odor, and in many recipes may be substituted for part of the butter. Some cooks add a pound of leaf lard to four or five of the suet; this makes a softer fat, as the meat is a lower melting point than beef fat. An old-fashioned method of clarifying fat from the soup kettle, or from cooked meats, so that it may be used in the kitchen, is to add the cold fat to a liberal quantity of cold water, then heat slowly and let cook for an hour or more. When cold, the cake of meat will contain the small particles of meat, etc., should be scraped away and the white, clean fat saved. If the flavor or color of both are not satisfactory the process may be repeated several times. Another method which is often recommended is to cook a number of silices of raw potato in the boiling fat. When an ice chest is used, fat in small quantities may be easily kept in the cooking purposes. If lard is rendered at home in quantity sufficient for a long time, it should be covered in this or earthen jars, in a cool, dry place. Mustard Pickle. One large head of cauliflower, one quart of white button onions, one dozen dill pickles, two quartes of vinegar, one teaspoonful mustard seed, two teaspoonful celery seed, two cupfuls of sugar, three-quarters of a cup of flour, one-quarter of a cup of flour, one tablespoon of turmeric powder. Divide cauliflower in pieces and boil it and the onions in salted water until about half done, drain, cut up dill pickles; mix flour, mustard and turmeric with a little cold water and add this to the boiling vinegar in which the sugar and celery and mustard seeds have been placed. Boil the mixture over the pickle. This makes about one gallon of f mustard pickle and is easy to prepare. Rhubarb Flummery Peel and cut up 2½ pounds of rhubarb; put in a basin with a little cold water, not enough to quite cover. If place a plate over the top and cook it until soft in the oven. Dissolve one heaping tablespoonful of powdered sugar in a spliff and add strained juice of rhubarb and stir until dissolved. With a wooden spoon rub the cooked rhubarb through a sieve, then add to gelatin, with seven tablespoonfuls of whipped cream and eight tablespoonfuls of sugar. Set this on the fire to reheat, but do not burn the sugar. Pour into wet moulds, turn out when firm and serve with custard around them. Orange Cake. Two cups sugar, one-half cup cold water, two and one-half cups flour, one-half teaspoon soda, tartin salt, one teaspoon cream tartin, five eggs, keeping two out white, one orange, grated rind and juice; beat egg whites to a stiff froth and fold in after other ingredients all well beaten. Bake in two layers and put together with betted frosting, made with two cups sugar, the juice of one orange and whites of two eggs. Tomato Ple. One pint of chopped green tomatoes, five apples chopped, two cups of sugar, one cup of molasses, one-half cup of vinegar, three tablespoons of flour, spice of all kinds. Put whole raisins and bits of butter on top before put- ting on the upper crust. Makes one large or two small plues. Banana Sherbet. Boll three pints of water and three cups of sugar for ten minutes, then strain and chill. Strain the juice from three lemons and two large oranges, add the pulp of three bananas pressed through a sieve, stir in the chilled sipup, pack in salt and ice, freeze and let stand one or more hours to ripen. Bolling Cracked Eggs An egg that is cracked can be bolted by including it in a place of soft paper. When the paper becomes wet it adheres to the egg, and prevents it from coming through the shell. This process should be successful in every case where the crack is of a moderate length. Washing White Stockings When washing white silk stockings use tepid water and pure white soap. Rub gently with the hands. Rinse in cold water and add a little bluing to the last rinsing water. This keeps them from becoming yellow. BUXTON BRIEF& Mr. Ed.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of hair. The "PORO" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for example, by preventing a condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

Dawes' Good Advice to Young Men in Business This is a hard world in business. B always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lead a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surplus, and to sell you something which would help you to "easy money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investment into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life-first, to give always in proportion as your means to those who are poorer; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours. You will then, writes Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them An article having real merit should in time become popular. That such is the case with Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been attested by many dealers.

Rare Washington Portrait A rare and curious mezzotint portrait of George Washington in the library of the late Lafayette S. Richardson of Lowell, Mass., was auctioned on last year in Boston. It is entitled "George Washington, late president of the United States of America, etc." and was published March 14, 1801, by J Hinton Lindon. It is a small folio and is colored by hand. It looks as much like George III, as it does the Father of His Country. Baker, who wrote the "Engraved Portraits of Washington," says that only one impression of this mezzotint has come under the notice of the writer. It was in neither the Clarkson, nor the Carson sale of Washington portraits. Insist on Yellow Flour.

Charles Christadoro, an expert on flour and grains, sounds the keynote of the new situation brought about by the bleached flour decision when he says in a communication to the editor commenting on the bleached flour decision: "The housewife will now insist on yellow tinted or creamy flour, and will learn to realize that a natural flour very white can in no manner compare with the creamy or yellow flour in so far as glutens and muscle building values are concerned. "As from 85 to 90 per cent. of the large flour mills of the country were using this bleaching process, the decision is far-reaching."—National Food Magazine.
