Celluloid Is a composition Of fine

A rather common impression that il

when in direct contact with flame.
When crude it looks like transparent

The Supply of Beef.

Notwithstanding the enormous advance
made in cattle raising during the past
twenty years or so, the increased sup
ply, even in favorable seasons. has not
been at all llcommensurate with the increase
in the demand for beef. The ratio OF in
crease in cattle is less than that in popula-
ton, so that even with no change in diete
tic habits the demand Tor beef would tend
steadily to outrun the supply. But our
appetite for beef increases much more
rapidly than our numbers. The market
man makes his daily rounds with fresh
beet in hundreds of communities where
salt pork was eaten almost exclusively
twenty-five years ago; and generally
throughout the country. beef has largely
displaced pork on the tables of farmers,
mechancics. and well-to-do people. This
partly because of the universal improve
ment in the scale of popular living due to
general prosperity. bat more, perhaps, to
the influence of an active school of would
be health reformers who have persistently
decried pork as an article of food and
created widespread and unreasonable
prejudice against it. Leaving out of con
sideration any possible increase in the
demand for beef for expectation. we may
reasonably anticipate that the home
demand for beef will continue to increase
as fast if not faster than the popula-
ton does; and there can be no marked
decline from the present excessive prices
until the supply of beefcattle is brought
up to the level of the popular require
ments. 1t is not the prime cost of beef
cattle in the field, or their necessary cost
at the shambles after being driven or car
carried half across the continent. that
chiefly determines the price of the meat
to the consumer, but the single fact that
the supply is relatively so meagre that
cattle raisers can ask and readily get
prices which enable them to make 20, 80.
even 80 per cent profit per annum on the
money invested-selling for six cents
pound, live weight. cattle which cost two
cents a pound to raise.

Fun with 4 Spider.

Spiders III many respects are Just like
other animals, and can he tanned and
petted and taught great many other
lessons which they will learn rs readily
rs dog Or cat But yon must take the
trouble to study their ways and get on
the right side OF them.
One day had been reading in q
book how spiders managed to get their
webs across streams and roads, and
from the top Of one tall tree to another.
/ went out and caught large garden
spider. one Of those blue-gray sprawl
ing fellows, and fixed him up for nv
experiment.
/ took stick abont eighteen inches
in length, and fastened piece Of iron
to one end Of it, so that the stick would
stand up on that end CT itself. Then
Iput this stick in large tub of water,
and placed ths spider on top of the
stick wanted to see ii he would get
to the "land,s which was the edge Of
the tub. without any help. He ran
down first one side OF the stick and
then the other: each time he would
stop when he touched the water, and
shaking his foot rs cat does, he would
run up again. At last he came to the
conclusion that he was entirely sur
rounded by water-on an island, in
fact. After remaining perfectly quiet
for a long while, during which / have
no doubt he was arranging his plans,
he began running around the top OF
the stick, and throwing out great coils
of web with his hind feet. In a few
minutes little fine strings of web were
floating away in the slight breeze that
was blowing. After little one OF
these threads touched the edge of the
tub and stuck fast, as all spiders webs
will do.
This was just what Mr. Spider was
looking for, and the next moment he
took hold of his web and gave it jerk,
as o sailor does rope when he wishes
to see how strong it is or to make II
fast. Having satisfied himself that i,
was fast at the other end, he gathered
it in till it was tight and straight. and
then ran on it quickly to the shore; i
rescued castaway saved by his own in.
genuity.

three hours. Serve with sauce.
SCRAMBLED Eaas AND DRIED BEEF.
Shave the beef very fine, put small

hot, put in your beef, have ready the
required number Of eggs we'll beaten,
and stir in with the beef; stir till the
eggs are done, add teaspoonful OF
salt, sprinkle with pepper and serve.
OMELErrE.- Beat the yelks Of four
eggs, and while beating mix with them
a teaspoonfnl Of -four, two tablespoon
fuls Of pulverized sugar, pinch Of
salt, and any favoring extract You
choose; this, Of course, can be decided
with reference to the other dishes which
make up the dinner. Beat the whites
Of the four eggs to a froth and mix with
the other. Bake this on buttered
dish; deep plate will answer; it will
rise very light and brown nicely in a
very few minutes. Send to the table
hot. If You please you may sift pow
dered sugar over it before sending it to
the table.
BEEF STEw.-Take out the bone and
bind the pieces of beef tightly, putting
. lemon, paired and cut in two, and
some herbs in before binding. Place
it in as small stew-pan, or kettle as
will allow Of its being covered with
water. Let it cook slowly and gently !;
do not add any water unless absolutely
necessary. Slice large onion and fry
it brown, and add to the water also
any sliced vegetables You choose; or
cook the vegetables in kettle bv
themselves, and serve on the platter
with the beef. If yon do not add any
water you will have very rich gravy,
and portion Of it may be reserved for
sonp stock.
HoP BREAD.-Soak cake OF Yeast,
if they are good large ones, if small,
two, in a pint of warm water, not hot.
When it is all soft mash fine and add
one quart Of warm water, one spoon
ful of salt, one of sugar and enough
flour to make 4 SPONGE; let it stand
until light, then add enough -four to
