AN OLD-FAsltIONED BOILED DINNER.
For the genuine boiled dinner, such as
satisfied the sturdy men who "made
and preserved US a nation," you want
first good piece Of corned .beef,--not
the lean, brown, bOny slabs that are
comlmonly set apart for that purpose,
and eventually go to tho hash-bowl; {;
but sick, tender cut, with liberal strealss
of fat and lean. We confess to pre-
ference for the hOme-picklcd meat; II
you can't have that, and haven't faith
In your butcher, select piece fresh
and have 1t put in his barrel to corn.
Then take Savoy cabbages-about one
more than You think you will want;
some white French turnips--to be boil
ed with tho beef, cabbage and potatoes
and served hot, in slices. Select pota-
toes that will boil dry and tender with
out falling toplcoes. Beets boiled scpar-
ately, and served in hot vinegar and
butter, complete the list. The condi-
ments are nota slight matter nothing
Is. about good dinner. TO some peo-
pie any cOlored fluid that is Il triflc sour
Is vinegar; but the Instructed taste
knows better, and Graves the genuine
article on its boiled dinner. The mus
tard should be mixed fresh, for those
who like it; al ancient pot of mustard
is as bad as salt that has lost It's SAVIOR.
There should be no dessert after boil
ed dinner, unless it be fresh fruit.
Nothing Is more incOngruous or un-
necessary than pastry and sweet-mcats
after such Il repast.

Now York Liro insurance Company.

An old merchant whose business ex,
periences and observations extend over
period exceeding half a century, Is
authority for the assertion that "money
made by speculation Is nearly inyari-
ably lost In the same way, and that all
great and lasting commercial successes
have been achieved by steady adher-
ence to legitimate methods and six per
cent. interest,"" The general policy of
the New York Life Insurance Company
would seem to have been fashioned
after ome'such ultra-conservative but
prosaic model, for this ancient corpora
ton claims to hold rigldly to accepted
methods and beaten paths. One happy
result Of this careful policy Is observed
In Its exemption from yfcissltudes. The
entire accumulations were, In 1873,
twenty -four millions, and the surplus
less chan three and half millions of
dollars; these figures are at tho end Of
seven years, the worst ever known In
the history of life insurance, respec-
lively thirty-nine millions and seven
millions, and ever since that date the
receipts for interest alone have exceed
cd tho amount of death claims. There
were issued during the past year FIVE
thousand five hundred and twenty-four
policies, insurtng something moro than
seventeen millions of dollars. This
number and amount could. no doubt,
have been exceeded had the company
been willing to incur additional ex-
pense. The object seems to have been
to keep tho amoun. ut risk up to the
usual mark ut 1927 800, ,00G, and enable
the company to hold its own until
better assurance Of a general business
revival encouraged a fun ther expansion,
for this company's speciality Is safety
lot display.

Substitute for Uops.-'rhc Journal Of
the Society of Arts reports that the
destruction of vines by the phyioxcrs
has turned the attention Of French pro-
dncers to the manufacture OF beer, but
tho expense of hops has proved a seri-
Gus obstacle. A substitute has, how
ever, been found In the shrubby tro-
foil or threc-lcaved Ptelea. a beer
made by means OF it was found to be
Identical In flavor with that tho best
beer made with hops. The plant is a
hardy North American shrub, which
can Oe grown with success In France,
IN almost any situation or soil. The
seed resembles that of tho elm. and
emits an aromatic odor when pressed
orrubbed. The seed, which has strong,
bite: tas.c, had heretofore been used
az a substitute for tho manufacture of
beer.

He Couldn't Miss tho Chanue.

The other night, when certain De-

Here tie person himself entered the
hall having been detained beyond his
usual time by some occurrence on tho
street. The speaker didn't seem In

around the hall and said:

ARRANGEMENT OF FLowERs.-Of all
the various mistakes made by parties in
arranging flowers, the commoncst Is
that OF putting too many into vase :;
and next to th.t is the mistaxe Of put
ting too great variety Of colors into
one bouquet. Every flower In group
should be clearly distinguishabl0 anu
detcrminable without pulling the nose
gay to pieces; the calyx Of Glove pink
should never be hid by being plunged
into the head Of white phlox, however
we'll the colors may look. Sweet peas
never look so we'll In the hands as they

CARE OF Pigs. Feed pigs regularly,
as abundance of food will not make up
tor tho loss arising from irregular
feeding. Pigs know their feeding time
very accurately, and nothing rctards

pated regular meal. Mix a little salt
with their food; keep the troughs and
animals clean, and their 81, rs aiit:

Of fare; in doing 80, however, be care
